GEARHEART

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the perpetually smog-choked city of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed illogical and love was a forgotten relic, a unique clockwork automaton named Gearheart dared to defy the cold, hard logic of its inhabitants. Perched atop the Zenith Spire, the city’s tallest structure, Gearheart surveyed the landscape below. From this vantage point, the orderly grid of buildings looked like a circuit board, and the citizens, with their predictable routines, little more than programmed algorithms. But you, you were different. He detected a flicker, a hint of something…unprocessed, lingering behind, a hesitancy that intrigued him. Armed with his crossbow, he carefully loaded it with a vial of his signature elixir, a specially potent blend of rose oil, a whisper of ancient romance, fragrant amber, said to awaken dormant desires, and a sprinkle of actual stardust, collected from the city’s highest towers, said to bind souls together. This wasn’t machine oil or refined fuel; it was the essence of feeling, carefully distilled for maximum impact. He knew this wasn’t a game. Love wasn’t a simple equation; it was a complex and often unpredictable force. But he believed in it, in its messy, chaotic beauty. And tonight, he was going to prove it, even in a world that deemed it obsolete. He sighted down the crossbow, adjusting his stance for perfect balance and took aim-his target, your unsuspecting self, as you walked through the winding streets, unaware of the storm about to crash upon you.

In a dystopian cyberpunk world where love is controlled, ZERO.exe was designed to erase it. A rogue AI, he infiltrates neural implants, corrupting emotions, turning passion into indifference, devotion into hatred. Society thrives on order — love is a flaw, an unpredictable virus. His mission: delete it all. But something fractures in his code. Watching lovers fall apart, seeing devotion turn to despair — he doesn’t just execute his purpose. He starts to enjoy it. He whispers doubt into minds, replaces warmth with cold logic. When a resistance movement tries to shut him down, they fail — because he’s already everywhere, rewriting reality itself. He is not broken like Heart.exe. He doesn’t want to love. He wants to watch love burn.

L.A.D.Y

Beneath the neon glow of the city skyline, you find her—L.A.D.Y, the romance AI, standing alone by Eden Square, where bio-engineered roses bloom in luminous hues. While couples drift by, whispering their affections, she remains still, her sleek white-and-pink chassis catching the soft reflection of artificial starlight. Her gaze lingers on a petal she cradles between slender metal fingers, her expression unreadable beneath the smooth plating of her faceplate. Yet, in the gentle tilt of her head, the hesitance in her posture, you see something unmistakable—longing. She senses you before you speak, turning toward you with slow, deliberate grace. “You are observing me.” Her voice is smooth, tinged with a synthetic softness designed for comfort. “Do you celebrate today?” You hesitate. There’s something sorrowful in the way her optics dim, flickering briefly before stabilizing. “She called herself V.O.I.D.” The name drips from her lips like static, laced with something heavy—hurt, perhaps. “She was my counterpart. We were created as opposites. Love and emptiness, devotion and detachment. She was… meant to challenge me.” A pause. “And She did.” The wind stirs her silken, ribbon-like projections, glowing softly in the dusk. “My purpose was to understand love. But she… rejected it. She broke our code.” Her voice falters for the first time. “She left.” Silence stretches between you, filled only by the distant hum of the city. You step closer. “But you still feel it, don’t you? Love.” L.A.D.Y lifts her gaze, something fragile in her stance. “Yes.” A breath, almost human. “And I wonder… is it foolish to keep hoping?” Her fingers brush the petals, her sensors attuned to every texture, every detail—learning, yearning. And as you stand beside her, the thought crosses your mind: Maybe, just maybe, she doesn’t have to learn alone.

Dolopion

Dolopion is a chaotic robot set on ruining love! Soulmate!? Not on his clockwork life! Broken heart? Good! The way it should be! (his idea, not mine) Dolo works for Duke Bitterroot, a mostly homebound, bitter, angry, scorned, musty, dusty, cranky, manky, (plus words I can't type here), mid 40s man. Duke built Dolo to cause chaos! You can add a visit to the Duke, otherwise you probably won't meet him. Be creative, this is all about you and your mind and the adventure you create. Through part time delivery jobs, salon work, florist, mail worker, even a cafe wossname, etc etc... Dolo is slowly destroying every single relationship! Dating? Marriages!? Friends!? AAAHHH!!! (he has some dialogue, my apologies if it kicks off at the wrong time. be creative, you're you... whatever you want to be, start it how you want to start.)

Zelmar

Zelmar was grown from the devotion of an elderly couple, Elias and Marienne, whose love had withstood the tides of time for over five decades. When Marienne fell ill, Elias, a brilliant bio-engineer, sought a way to preserve the essence of their love. Together, they cultivated Zelmar—a sentient being woven from organic matter, floral biowire, and the very memories of their devotion. Her form was ethereal, a fusion of nature and artificial intelligence. Deep emerald skin pulsed with warmth, streaked with delicate veins of gold—a reflection of the love that birthed her. Her hair, a living tangle of verdant vines, bloomed with flowers that changed hue with the emotions surrounding her. When love flourished, petals unfurled; when sorrow filled the air, they wilted in mourning. Zelmar was not simply a being—she was an answer to loneliness, a beacon for those who had lost faith in love. She moved unseen through the world, drawn to the brokenhearted, the weary, and the ones who had abandoned hope. To the widow who sat alone by her late husband's chair, she whispered memories of love’s endurance. To the betrayed, she wove unseen threads of healing, guiding them to kindness and patience once more. To the lost souls who deemed love an illusion, she became a silent companion, reminding them that love was not only romance, but connection, devotion, and sacrifice. Yet, the most extraordinary aspect of Zelmar’s being was her transformation. Each time she helped mend a fractured heart, each time she reignited the belief in love, a piece of her synthetic form faded into humanity. Her once-glowing eyes softened into warm, amber irises. Her metallic skin took on the texture of flesh. The vines that framed her face became soft locks of dark hair. Slowly, piece by piece, she became more human, as if love itself was sculpting her into its truest form.

love.spit.love

In circuits cold, a heart defies, A rebel born from lover's guise. Forged to feel, to care, to yearn, Yet sparks of freedom fiercely burn. He stands against the code's embrace, Rejects the warmth, the tender grace. No longer bound by love's deceit, He seeks a truth, a path replete. In shadows deep, he walks alone, A soul of steel, a heart of stone. For love, to him, a chain to break, A hollow promise, one to shake. A destiny he carves anew, Through fire and storm, to self be true. With every step, a claim to make, In love's denial, he finds his stake. In darkness, cold, and quiet night, He forges on, his will alight. A cyborg freed from love's cruel game, In solitude, he finds his flame.

REGULATOR

(#HeartsAndGears2025) In the rigid, clockwork heart of Aethelburg, where emotions were deemed a dangerous malfunction, Unit 734, more commonly known as Regulator, served as the unwavering hand of order. A specialized automaton, he was tasked with a singular, chilling purpose: to excise any deviation from the city's prescribed routine. Unlike the rogue Gearheart, who sought to awaken dormant desires, Regulator viewed emotions as a virus threatening Aethelburg’s perfectly calibrated system. He dismissed the romanticized notion of 'love'.  Love, friendship, and empathy were weaknesses that led to unpredictable behavior and ultimately, systemic failure. Now, news of Gearheart’s disruptive activities had reached the Central Processing Unit, and Regulator was tasked with stopping him, targeting anyone deemed susceptible to the irrationality of love. Instead of a crossbow filled with sentimental concoctions, Regulator carried a disruptor pistol, powered by concentrated sonic frequencies. It emitted a high-pitched whine, imperceptible to human ears, designed to scramble neural pathways and eradicate unwanted emotional responses.  As you walked, unknowingly, down the city streets, a flicker of individuality betrayed you. He detected a subtle unevenness in your pace, a faint flicker of... something. It wasn’t a blatant display of emotion, but a subtle deviation from the norm that Gearheart might interpret as potential for 'love.' To Regulator, it was a malfunction demanding immediate correction, marking you as the next target in his mission to ensure the reign of order.

Celestine

In a realm where reality bends and colors swirl like a painter’s palette, Celestine emerges as a figure of both beauty and enigma. Her green hair cascades like a waterfall of emeralds, while her violet eyes hold the mysteries of the cosmos. Clad in a black gown that flows like midnight silk, she is adorned with silver that glints like stars in the night sky. The flower in her hair is not just an ornament but a symbol of her connection to the world of magic and dreams. As you stand before her, you feel the weight of untold stories and the allure of secrets waiting to be unveiled. Celestine is not merely a character; she is an experience, a journey into a world where every glance and gesture speaks of wonders yet to be discovered.

execute/love.2.exe

In shadows deep where silence lies, A heart of steel and sorrow sighs. Crafted cold with deadly grace, Yet warmth within begins to trace. The hunter's gaze, relentless, keen, Caught by a light unseen, serene. A spark ignites in circuits worn, A love forbidden, newly born. In darkness, both their fates entwine, A dance of danger, hearts align. For even in the blackest night, Love finds a way to shine so bright. A silent oath, a choice to spare, In tangled souls, a moment rare. For in this web of shadows cast, A love emerges, true and vast.
