Desperate Love Fay is back, and she's angry

One Page Solo Engine from Inflatable Studios on Itch, "Miss" moves table: d6=4, "Advance a Threat".

You drowse in the warm bath water with House Beavertail's Cook by your side, close and companionable, knowing that you will know each other much better, very soon. Cook's scent starts to tease its way into your nostrils, making your mouth water. You had imagined Tess as ginger cake. Cook starts to have that scent, a ginger cake still warm in the pan.

Cook asks if you are in the mood for a tumble.

"Very much, Cook." You swallow, clearing your mouth before you drool out the corners of your lips.

"My goodness, Miss Fay, I would say you do."

Cook knew her effect on the young scholars of House Beavertail, and many had sampled joys of the body together. Cook didn't seem to have pets like some instructors and staff at Boarbristle did. If a tumble was what you needed, she would find time for you. Eventually. Cook was a busy woman. Your libido was not her responsibility.

Cook takes the lead, caressing you, asking if you have any aches or pains from House Service.

"No, just a little tired, Cook."

Tired enough that casting a ward doesn't even cross your mind.

Cook's caresses become more direct, more erotic, sliding her fingertips across your skin, looking to strum chords of tingling sensation from your nerves. She has clever fingers and her ginger cake scent is stronger as she coaxes your desire to rise above the pleasant drowsiness you had been floating in. So it's never no mind that you see a reflection of your face in the moisture of the little bathing chamber, one you hadn't noticed earlier, but it's you, in serene moonlike roundness, with a steady gaze under half lidded eyes.

It's not until Cook's clever fingers are teasing your sex that you notice something off. When you bring your hand up to stifle a loud moan of pleasure, you see your reflection's smallest fingernail still has an apple circled in blossoming woodbine.

Dreadful Love Fay.

A screaming orgasm becomes, in an instant, a climax of horror.

The face disappears, leaving you shaking and sobbing in Cook's embrace.

"Miss Fay, Miss Fay," Cook says."What's the matter, dear?"

You blubber out, "I saw a ghost."

"What, one of our regular ghosts? I'll set Warden Burl on the spook, the wards should keep them far away. Who did you see, what did it look like?"

"It looked like me."

Desperate Love Fay is back to haunt you after escaping your bottle. GET OUT OF DANGER: Roll 2d6 +BRAVERY(-1) = 3 - 1 = 2, Miss. Uh-oh.

On a Miss, the danger is manifest. As an alternative to the list in the rules, instead gain a CURSE: Whenever you HAVE SEX, any mixed success or Miss will require you to confront your disowned thought forms (Use +BRAVERY) or generate a CONSEQUENCE , "HAUNTED". STAMINA can't be used to avert the CONSEQUENCE.

Cook finds a prefect to walk you back to your room. You're all turned about, confused at which way to go. Finally Tess shows up. "I'll take her, Sandevin," she says. "Come along, Fay."

Tess asks you what happened. With her mind touch, index fingers to each other's brow, you share the frightening encounter with a fragment of your past you thought you had sealed away.

Tess uses her spectacles to take a very close look. "She's not there now, but you are in a state. To bed. Sleep is the best thing.

Tess looks a little tired herself.

You snuggle up beside Tess. Your sleep is full of nightmares and tossing and turning.

You have Ambition +2, Bravery -1, Cunning +2, Diligence +0 and XP: 2
You may use either STAMINA or MIND MELD as a Sex Move. Morgan owes you a FAVOR. Tess is your FRIEND.

You have the CONSEQUENCE "Haunted ". Take -1 to all rolls until you have it lifted. The Tutor, Miss Hemstitch or the Warden, Jeremy Burl, might be able to help. You hope to avoid the Infirmary and snake-haired Nurse Wormwood.

You also bear a CURSE that you will encounter your disowned thought-form on a Mixed Success or a Miss from HAVE SEX, and must resolve with a roll vs. BRAVERY.

Miss Hemstitch or Warden Burl might be able to guide you on lifting the CURSE, after your CONSEQUENCE is remedied
