Posting a quick preview of this since it'll be quite awhile before people can trigger this conversation normally. (As it requires having sex with Merlin before asking them how your soul tastes, and Merlin's first potential sex scene won't be until the end of Chapter 2).
And yes, Merlin's description changes depending exactly on the MC's personality stats and background.

With 17% of the vote, Arthur barely edges out Adrian to win this month's Far Future Snippet vote.
This scenario comes from a certain Camelot MC and is another snippet that'll have to be broken down when it appears in the actual game, as it's running overlong here.
With the resounding clash of metal upon earth, the white knight in plain arms hits the tight-packed dirt as the black knight storms past, newly shattered lance held tilted to the side. Gasps, che...

Okay, something from the actual flirting/dating hub with Merlin. In the cockpit of the RV because there aren't too many romantic spots available in a motorhome fleeing from demons.

This isn't actually from the "go on a date with Merlin" part of the Free Time Hub, but MC taking advantage of Merlin's offer to magically help with their amnesia.
Obviously, this will be very helpful indeed.
Also, just as obviously, I had to go with the version of MC that already tried to punch Merlin in the face.

As suggested by the Greater Circle and voted on by the Greater/Lesser Circle tiers -- it's the September Question & Answer session!
Once more half the seats are filled by a thunderously pissed off looking Broderick, a sighing Adrian who keeps sneaking peeks at the courteously smiling king at his side, and a smug looking Merlin.
Instead of a normal folding chair, Percy is seated on a rocking horse. Both him and the horse are wearing sombreros. 2024-09-28 16:24:24 +0000 UTC View Post
And since Patreon is currently over the $1000 threshold for the third stretch goal, the second place suggestion for September's drabble with 20 votes is "Broderick gets locked in with Cloudcuckoolander MC and Percy" at ~2316 words.
This ended up running longer than expected since it featured all eight of the Harbingers. Also, Broderick curses all of you who voted for this to the seven...

And the winning suggestion for September's drabble with 30 votes is "Adrian's and MC's first meeting at the plant nursery from Adrian's POV" at ~1471 words.

One last somewhat spoilerish preview from Chapter 2-3 before I move on to Chapter 2-4 for good. Triggering this requires passing a whole bunch of stat checks, so I doubt too many people will be finding it naturally.

With 14% of the vote, Broderick has won this month's Far Future Snippet vote. Another scenario that'll have to be broken down more in the game, as it's a bit too long for a mere 'snippet'.

I was originally going to post the dialect guide I've been working on for RO #4, but I decided it'd be best to wait until they're less of a spoiler next month.
So, since it seems pretty popular to be running around with the Serial Killer MC's full complement of knives, here are the ones currently available in the game. (Yes, more will become available as time goes on and MC has s̷t̷o̷l̷e̷n̷ ̷m̷o̷r̷e̷ broken more knives needing replacement.)
