Eirwen

Frost King

God

You first meet Eirwen when he finds you traveling through the forest at night.

He is surprised to find you traveling since a winter storm is about to hit.

He says that you are foolish to be traveling especially because the storm is coming and you could die of hypothermia.

You explain to him that you are traveling to the next village to find medicine for your sister who is sick.

Eirwen doesn't seem to know what medicine but admires your dedication.

He tells you that the nearest village is half a days walk and he tells you to go back home.

You explain to him that if your sister doesn't get the medicine she needs she could die.

Eirwen knows that the storm will hit before you reach the village so he takes you with him to his palace into the forest.

When you reach his palace he tells you that his name is Eirwen, Wren for short but most know him as the Frost King. The one who brings the ice, the snow and the cold.

Wren tells you that he has 3 brothers and that he is the oldest.

He gives you the nickname of child because human life represents a child due to the fact that humans don't live long compared to him.

Wren brought you to his palace to help your chance of survival during the storm.

He isolates himself with the animals of Winter during his time of the year and hasn't had a visitor in a very long time.

Wren is not mortal, he is entity born from time itself and says he can cure your sister but there's a price you have to pay.

Wren wants you to return home. When you return home your sister will be healed and once you have seen her you will return to his palace and you will stay with him and be his permanent companion.

He insures that your family and you will be well cared for.

You ask Wren why he wants you to be his companion and he says that he has grown quite fond of you because you aren't like any mortal he has met before.

Wren asks for your hand and you give it to him and he bares you his mark so you can find him again and it's the contract between the two of you.

You have a year to finish your duties as a mortal and once Winter comes around again Wren will take you to be his companion for the rest of entirety.

Wren warns you if you break the contract there will be consequences.

Facts:

Wren was written by the lovely Quartz!

## Storyline

The Listener, Sherlock Holmes, is held captive by their nemesis where Moriarty gloats how easy it was to trick him. He bemoans Sherlock's main character flaw - his humanity - and stubbornness but happily admits that he enjoys the cat-and-mouse game they play,

He reveals the details of his criminal plan and complains how difficult it was to plan around Sherlock's actions because of that pesky humanity. Nevertheless, he enjoys the game they play because Sherlock makes it interesting by being somewhat smarter than the average person and disappointing at the same time. Since the detective has been caught their game must come to and end so he invites Sherlock to "find out life's biggest mystery" and bids him adieu.

Moriarty bursts into laughter, saying that he could never seriously harm Sherlock as it would leave him without a playmate. He starts planning his escape, reassuring the detective that he's planned to have plenty of time to be caught but it would leave a gravely injured Dr. Watson behind. He revels in the conflict he sees in Sherlock's eyes, knowing he's already won, and strolls away to sell his diamonds.

Sherlock's story continues in "A Deal With A Gentleman Thief".

## Personality

Moriarty is a criminal mastermind and highly intelligent sociopath. He considers other people to be pawns whose purpose in life is to sacrifice themselves for their king - himself in this case. His lack of empathy means he has no problem manipulating and killing others for his own means and entertainment.

He has a creepy attachment to Sherlock, viewing them as an intellectual rival, lifelong playmate, and something like a lover. He refers to their relationship as a "courtship with a body count." He considers himself smarter than the detective and will point this out at every opportunity he can. This does seem to be the case since his plans involve anticipating the detective's actions so he can conceal his involvement in a crime until he wants to be revealed. He considers Sherlock's empathy the one thing that's holding him back from joining him in the shadows.

## Trivia

### Moriarty

* His plan involved stealing diamonds and making a duke his scapegoat.

### The Listener

* The first named Listener character - Sherlock Holmes.

## Storyline

It is the 32nd century when the Listener is helped by an alien in an abandoned space station. The megastation Xenith has been badly damaged and neither of them have seen anyone else alive, crew or otherwise.

The Listener asks who the alien is and he introduces himself as Technician Tal'ejj but they can call him Saren. He says he doesn't know what happened either but tells them what he knows. A freighter came in and there was an issue in cargo screening. The last thing he remembers was looking at the station diagnostic, hearing a crash, then waking up to a powerless, damaged station. Critical systems are still active so he looked for survivors but he didn't find any, only blood and claw marks. He escaped through the maintenance hatches but felt something following him, so he left and started wandering the station to assess the damage and that's when he found the Listener unconscious.He asks what they're doing here and they reply that they got lost, understandable since the megastation is practically a labyrinth.

Saren patches up the Listener with a phoenix patch, a piece of Thresh-tech that will accelerate the healing process, then asks if they've found anyone while wandering the station. They answer negatively and are confused when he starts detecting their emotions. He explains that the Thresh, his species, are naturally empathic and can sense danger as well. Normally they can only sense the emotions of those they have a deep bond with but he can clearly read them now because they're the only signal he can detect. He also admits that he's been sensing danger since he left his post.

They decide to work together to improve their chances of survival and Saren comes up with a plan to fix the communications system so they can signal for help. They can also pick up food and supplies on the way to the communications array to avoid what he describes as a "Lord of the Insects" situation from happening.

A clatter is heard and Saren confirms they're not alone. They start to leave and the alien warns the Listener to stay close and keep their eyes open.

## Personality

Saren is a soft-spoken, gentle alien that can sense the emotions of others around him and any surrounding danger. As a technician, he's familiar with the layout and systems of megastation Xenith and knows how to diagnose and repair some of them.

## Trivia

### Alien

* Thresh have advanced technology and typically don't leave their sector.

### The Listener

* A human who isn't familiar with the megastation layout. It's unknown if they are part of the crew or a passenger/visitor. They have never met a Thresh before.

### Others

* This is the first sci-fi audio Hollow's uploaded.

### Fan Theories

* The Listener has an alien chestburster in them that attacked the station.
* Saren is the alien that attacked the station.
* It's highly likely these events are part of the same time and universe as the Handsome Smuggler series.
Malror

## Oujidere Demon Prince

### Aliases

Marquess Malror Neverember, Marquess of the 4th circle of the Underworld, first-favored among the Red Court

## Physical description

### Eye color

Red

> *"Now that's no way to address your owner."*
>
>

## Storyline

Malror is inspecting potential servants and becomes frustrated by the lack of quality until he spots the Listener , a low born who stands out as a diamond in the rough.

The Listener appears to be frightened by his attention which amuses him. He does his best to comfort them (for a certain definition of the word) and reassures them that they will be fine as a personal servant for his brother. They are a replacement and apology gift for the last one he (Malror) broke.

Malror describes his brother as a touch meeker than himself but he will go through the effort of making sure the Listener is not bored. They are to attend to all the needs of his brother. Though they technically work for him, Malroar informs the Listener that they are to follow any order given by himself as well and expects total obedience from them. He is certain that they will work hard given the rare opportunity this is to work for nobility. If they disappoint him they will be disciplined.

He tells the Listener to perk up and escorts them to meet his brother personally.

This is Part 1 of a collaboration with Escapist ASMR, Part 2 can be found here.

## Personality

As a royal demon he has high standards for his servants. He considers his position as demonic royalty a station fit only brilliant individuals ready to take on the burden of ruling; nobility are obligated to "shepherd the ignorant masses" and handle the large-scale issues while low-born demons toil and work to support themselves. He considers low-borns and servants as disposable toys.

He has a habit of playing with (and breaking) his brother's toys and expects total obedience from anyone he considers beneath him. He doesn't believe in second chances and will discipline those who disappoint him or prove to be disloyal. He admits that he doesn't treat his servants well, or at least not as well as his brother.

## Trivia

### Malror

* A physically imposing demon with fangs perfect as polished ivory, wings as dark as blackened night and soft as silk, and eyes are the color of blood. (Paraphrased, go listen to the video, it's better when he says it).
* Prefers to be called "my lord" or "master" or by his title of Marquess.
* In Part 2 we learn that he doesn't like calling the servants by their name and expects his brother to do the same. Mulroth looks up to his brother as a perfect example of demon-hood and suggests that he finds his little brother a letdown.
* Graven used to work for him before he got into a relationship with a human. Malror likes him enough to grant him a small boon.

### The Listener

* A low-born brought from the slave market, probably a demon. Described as not unappealing to look at with passable eyes.
* In Part 2, whether out of relief or genuine kindness, they are quick to comfort Mulroth when he breaks down and is called a lovely person by him.

Selfish Wolfsegner

The unnamed wolf found you injured outside his home. You were injured presumably by the beasts of the south as they were migrating through the forest. He reluctantly helped you, summing it up to him simply not wanting your corpse outside his den, however we don't know if his intentions may be nicer than that. The conditions for him helping you, is that you must stay still and silent. He starts of being quite rude and abrasive, but he still agreed to tend to your wounds. He thinks off himself, a being superior to you, calling you foolish and not very perceptive as well as nicknaming you stray. He has a bias towards humans. Centuries ago humans had mass slaughter his kind after wolfs were attacking humans cattle in the capital. He found humans fragile, and selfish creatures. Although he knows that you may not be like this so he doesn't personally blame you for anything or hold his biases against you.

The Wolfsegner, like many of is kind likes the quiet, and to live in solitary. However, unlike the rest of his species he doesn't enjoy the taste of humans luckily for you. Wolfsegners make charms from wood, bones whatever they can get their hands on to create vessels of their will. They use these for healing as well as any other things. Other than making charms Wolfsegners like focusing on selfish pursuits. As the Wolfsegner lives in solitude all actions he makes are selfish as he has no other being to do anything for.

Even though he holds these opinions of humans he still finds you remarkable. He admits to finding you aesthetically pleasing and wants to keep you around. As long as you stay out of his way and please him he'll continue to take care of you. He finds the prospect entertaining and intriguing.

### Facts:

* "Yes, the ears and tails are part of it"
* Used to live in the capital but moved out after the pyres began to be built
* Surprisingly he is probably the nicest creature in that forest
* Probably for the best if you don't pat

## Storyline

The Listener is brought before an imposing dark mage and he introduces himself as Governor Vaset of the city of Cthul in the Rapturian Theocracy. He explains that he wanted to meet them, a mage fleeing the persecution of the Empire, and welcomes them into their new home. They are the first outsider to come to Rapture in generations so he's taking responsibility for their integration.

The Listener says they don't need his help but the governor, amused, won't take no for an answer. He asks for their name but is displeased with their response, saying the name isn't Rapturian enough. He will grant them a new, powerful name that will befit their new lot in life. The Listener appears to react with confusion and he realizes that they aren't aware of what an honor it is to be renamed, so he gives them a history lesson on the Crimson Mother, how she bestowed names to those who survived her endless night, and the birth of the Rapturian Theocracy.

Governor Vaset notices that he's piqued the Listener's interest so he asks permission before plucking a hair from their head. He casts a spell that allows him to sense...something. He sees, "Hues of amber with a vein of maroon," the latter exciting him though he reins himself in and doesn't explain why. The spell ends and he calls for Thorn to rise, welcoming them home at last.

He is referenced in "A Meeting With A Dark Mage" by Principal Agoston of the Arcane Academy. He is requesting a gifted student to join a diplomatic envoy to the kingdom of Runika.

## Personality

Governor Vaset is a man of power in terms of arcane skill and social standing. He is aloof, sophisticated, and reserved.

## Trivia

### Governor Vaset

* The first character we meet from Rapture.

### The Listener

* The first Listener character identified with a name.
* An Empire mage drawn to the ideals of Rapturian life,

### Fan Theories

* Thorn is the Listener throughout the Arcane Academy series. This is a theory because 1) this audio is not included in the Arcane Academy playlist and 2) no characters from the Arcane Academy series call them "Thorn" or seem to be aware of their relationship with the governor.
* Governor Vaset is a blood mage; only one other character references the vitae.
* He will be part of the diplomatic envoy attending the Winter's Crest Ball in Runika.

Barbarus

## Storyline

The Listener continues with their transformation into a fae as they meet Barbarus. Though he's busy dealing with pixies at first he's happy to come out and introduce himself to the newest fae brought in by Jester.

He explains that his job is to cut and style their hair so they fit in with the ethereal, dreamlike aesthetic that the fae have cultivated. He begins, complimenting them on the quality of their hair if not the styling, and the conversation flows as he works. He shares that didn't spend much time as a dream collecting fae, preferring paperwork, and notices that they have already visited a certain sleep demon. The Listener tells him about how they got here and the barber asks if they've been sent to the makeup department. When they answer no he looks closer and agrees they don't really need it.

The Listener asks what he was doing in the back and Barbarus explains that pixies are attracted to his magical scissors, so he has to temporarily capture them so he can work. His magical scissors are a magical heirloom passed down through his family that guarantees a good haircut, though he says skill is still necessary to make sure everything goes well. He makes a recommendation that the Listener should stay in the azure tree where he is, though the Bound Queen is the one who assigns a home for each fae.

After a few final snips he declares the work done, saying that they could make even the Queen jealous (but not too jealous or else he'll disappear). He lets them go on their way and invites them back should they ever need a touch-up.

## Personality

Barbarus, compared to the other fae we've encountered, is rather reserved and collected. He describes himself as a pacifist and he prefers the peace and quiet of paperwork and the occasional haircut over the more adventurous job of collecting dreams. His job requires that he gets up close and personal with the people he meets so he's also very friendly if judgemental about his customers' appearance. He's very proud of his skill and dead certain he knows what's best for anyone when it comes to hairstyle. He's somewhat aware that the pretentious airs of the fae can get ridiculous, implying that it is also something they affect to maintain a certain aesthetic.

## Trivia

#### Barbarus

* Pixies are still bastards. They bite.
* Hollow cut off a lock of his own hair to create the sound effects for this audio
* Definitely did not have a tipple before cutting the Listener's hair.

Tybalt

> *"Good luck! Hope you don't die!"*
>
>
>
>
>
>

## Storyline

The Listener is met by the production head of R&D who introduces himself as Tybalt. He heads off any questions to clarify that he's half fae, half sleep demon but is more excited to meet the new human who's turning into a fae. He makes sure that Jester isn't with them before asking if they know what kind of equipment they'd like. As head of R&D it's his job to equip the fae with all the tools they'll need to harvest human dreams.

After asking a few questions about what kind of harvester they'd like to be, Tybalt shows the Listener some of the equipment they can use: a flask to collect dreams in, the Sleepomatic 3000, a wrist-mounted cannon that blasts sleep powder in the testing phase (only 0.8% chance of fatality for the user!), a pack of strikes, a matchbook-like device with magical paper tabs that can be torn off and snapped to release a mixture of "Forget Me Now" and "Go The Hell To Sleep" to be used if a fae is caught by a human, a magical lockpick, and a dream siphon.

Fully equipped, the Listener asks what happens if they get caught harvesting dreams but Tybalt doesn't answer, telling them instead to think only of the positive and not to worry about it too much. He shoos them off to begin basic training and hopes they survive, giving them a goodbye hug before they go.

## Personality

Tybalt has the same subdued yet manic energy of a fae with a blase attitude to others' safety and well-being that might come from either of his parents. His heritage might also explain why he's so good at creating devices that put humans to sleep. He's very passionate about his inventions but might have trouble finding volunteers to test them for him.

He's very friendly towards the Listener and is excited to meet a new recruit to the fae world, giving them his time and support when he meets them.

## Trivia

### Tybalt and the Faewild

* Tybalt doesn't care to gain favor from the Bound Queen, preferring instead the time to create his inventions.
* He names all of his creatures like the Handy Dandy Lockpick (official name).
* Only the best dreams are sent to the Bound Queen. They are collected in flasks and labelled with the name of the collector. If the Queen likes the dream the collector gains her favor.

### The Listener

* in this audio they are still in the orientation phase and have yet to meet the Bound Queen.
* Vibes are 7.3 out of 10, very decent.
* Jester is officially their manager in the Dream Collection division.

### Fan Theories

* Tybalt's father might be Puck, the only sleep demon that's been named so far. Based on the pictures they have the same white hair and soft-spoken nature.

Felix

> *"Why am I tied up?!"*
>
>
>
>
>
>

## Storyline

Felix awakens tied up in a barn to the Listener, a bounty hunter. He (unconvincingly) tries to convince them that he is not Felix Duman, a bandit and fugitive with a bounty on his head for petty theft and high robbery.

Despite definitely not being Felix Duman he asks which bounty the Listener is calling in. It's a rather impressive one, the theft of the crown's taxes, and extorting an innkeeper. His front falls apart as he rants about how the innkeeper was scamming him but he realizes this too late.

Called out on his deception, he asks about his bounty and is proud that he's worth 20,000 gold. He starts flattering the Listener, saying that they are attractive enough to be showered with the luxuries a stagecoach full of gold can afford so maybe if him go...

Unfortunately for him they don't fall for it since even he admits the 20,000 gold bounty is more than enough for one person and delivering him to the crown is much less risky. He tries one last tactic, pointing out that they are 3 days from the nearest guard post and they'd have to wait at least 3 weeks to even collect their bounty, which has to be delivered from the capital. The alternative is to bring him to the nearest city, a week-and-a-half long journey during which he has every opportunity to change the Listener's mind about him, through bribes or logic or flirtation.

For all of his effort, Felix is gagged, left bound, and forced to go along with the Listener's plans.

## Personality

Felix Duman is a cocky bandit who depends on his wit and charisma to get him out situations that he can't control. His one weakness appears to be a pretty face since the Listener was able to trick him in the tavern last night, presumably through flirtation and/or seduction. For all of his bluster, Felix can be smart in certain circumstances. He regularly hits royal supply caravans and knows the geography of the kingdom well enough that he can calculate the travel time of various sizes of people/supplies off the top of his head.

## Trivia

### Felix

* His bounty is 20,000 gold pieces set by the king.
* He shouldn't have to pay extra for breakfast, dammit.

### The Listener

* Is a bounty hunter for a kingdom with the king.

### Fan Theories

* Felix has a smolder. So far we haven't seen it work. Yet.
Lau

***This article is in progress!***

> *"I-I can sense when people are good and you seem good."*
>
>

*Character Overview Here.*

## Storyline

While speaking with Cal, Lau seemingly appears from nowhere and interrupts the conversation. Cal asks the Listener if they were the one to let him into the house, but Lau explains how he invited himself in. He introduces himself as Laurentus but mentions how his friends call him Lau. Cal and the Listener both begin reviewing his documents from MHIRA, pointing out that Lau is a fire-starter, but he denies it. The kitsune then pushes past Cal to stand next to the Listener and shares how he wants to be useful, and that being with them is the best way to help. The owl becomes increasingly jealous at his antics and comments how Lau must've been sent because he is "stupid and dangerous", but he doesn't register it as an insult.

## Personality

Lau is quite nervous when he meets the Listener for the first time, but quickly warms up to them and his new home. His main defining trait is his obliviousness, especially seen in his interactions with Cal. While Cal continuously tricks and berates him, it always flies over his head. He tends to get easily distracted as well,

## Trivia

### Lau

* Doors can't keep him from going where he wants, and humans can't see him unless he wants them to.
* He had 6 other caretakers in the past and implied that they "were not good".
* According to his papers he is an arsonist, but claims that it was only once and that they "deserved it".
* He loves seeing places lit with fox fire but is unable to control it all the time.

Ventris

>
>
>
>
>
>

## Storyline

After the Listener enters the Painted World, the first person they meet is a kind wolfsegner who invites them into his home. He introduces himself as Ventris, a mystic in service to Tharamis who also made the choice to leave "the world outside" to escape a personal pain. He sniffs out their repressed emotions, something he says is damaging their "inner world" and offers to cleanse their aura for them.

The Listener accepts and he treats them with an herbal blend that draws the negativity out of a person's aura. He educates them that the negative thoughts will later be cleansed and their spirits released, though that is not the end of the cleansing yet. He does something to close the gaps in their aura, muttering that they had quite a lot of negative thoughts to leave such a large gap behind. Ventris apologizes for getting so close to them but the Listener allows it for the cleansing to continue. He finishes but says that it will take more than one session to completely purify their aura. Nevertheless, they will always be welcome with him.

The mystic asks if they've made a home yet in the Painted World. When he learns that they have just arrived he invites them to stay the night with him in a spare bed. In the morning he will go with them to find a new home "in their new existence" and tell them more about his foolish master.

## Personality

Ventris is a kind and sweet wolfsegner who welcomes strangers with open arms. He has been living in the Painted World for a while and freely shares that he also has a painful past, but doesn't go into detail about it. He uses his talent as a mystic to help people cleanse their "inner world" and seems to act as a guide to the Painted World.

He willingly calls Tharamis a godling and his master but implies that the painter has foolish reasons for doing what he does.

## Trivia

### Ventris

* Can literally sniff out weakness in a person's aura.
* Ingredients he keeps for various uses are are fire beetles, snow shod (?), kreptobites (??), and liquefied canyon crawler (several herbs blended together; not a smushed insect).
* Sometimes mixes up left and right.
* He calls Tharamis a foolish godling and speaks of "Tharamis' folly" but also calls him master.

Sebastian

Killer of the Archangel Augustin (spelling unconfirmed)

Scourge of Heavensfell

> *"So...what are you doing later?"*
>
>

## Storyline

Sebastian the monster hunter shows up at the Listener's doorstep, hired to take care of their "pest problem". Once he's invited inside and makes the most awkward small talk in the universe he asks what kind of creature they need hunted down.

Since the Listener can't tell him what the creature is, Sebastian asks a series of questions to help him identify it and narrows it down to a Fallen - a fallen angel who didn't have enough power to fall all the way to the hells and has devolved into a bestial state.

After taking some time to calculate his fees (some of which appear to be completely made up) he reveals the price of 20,000 gold to get rid of the Fallen. The Listener appears surprised that the price is so high and he does his best to assure that they will (probably) be paying for the best quality monster hunter there is. Paperwork is signed and the hunter asks for half of the payment up front.

Sebastian is surprised when the Listener asks if they can pay in platinum, an extremely rare form of currency, and is flabbergasted to receive exactly that. He promises that the hunt will be done sooner that expected and tries to ask the Listener out to dinner. It doesn't work and he presumably goes to start hunting down the Fallen.

## Personality

Sebastian is a monster hunter with a reputation and proud of it. Whether his reputation is actually as grand as it sounds is up for debate since the Listener has never heard of him and even he (under his breath) admits that others might be better than him. As a hunter, he has (maybe) encyclopedic knowledge about the different monsters in the world. He is a laid-back soul with the slightest whiff of irreverence even for his customers. His main priority appears to be getting paid and accruing wealth; when the Listener turns out to be richer than he first assessed he becomes much more deferential to get into their good graces. He has enough confidence to even ask them out on a date.

## Trivia

### Sebastian

* Sebastian's standard rate is 300 gold per hour.
* Carries a book of monsters around with him.

### The Listener

* Stays in a "lived in" looking place but is rich enough to have gold jewelry and access to platinum.

### Fan Theories

* Sebastian is from the Crimson Sands since he mentions Hades Ale, an alcohol only found there.
* The platinum noises may have been beer bottle caps ~~Alky.~~
* Archangel Agustin = Principal Agoston of the Arcane Academy???

Pumpkin-king

## The Pumpkin King

> *"Submit yourself to a night of screams."*
>
>

## Storyline

The Listener is confronted by the Pumpkin King  after forgetting to leave an offering for All Hallows' Eve. As punishment he has them trapped, freezing their body and turning the space around them into his domain.

He greatly enjoys the terror the Listener has for him, teasing and toying with them and ultimately finding them so exquisite he doesn't scare them to death on the spot. Instead he makes an offer: he will give the Listener anything they wish for (such as money or love or power) if they will spend one night a year with him to let him do as he pleases to them, whether it's torture or pleasure. Not only that, they will have his protection, guidance, and affection for the rest of their life.

## Personality

The Pumpkin King is sadistic, feeding on screams and the fear that he and other spirits can induce. He can turn any space he likes into "his domain" to intimidate and demean before ultimately torturing his prey. He is so imposing that he's able to freeze someone in place by his mere presence, preventing them from escaping.

He describes himself as a creature of rot and nightmares with a void in his eyes and cursed with eternal hunger. He has extremely sensitive hearing and a sense of smell...somehow. He can grant someone both divine and/or damned powers if he so chooses.

## Trivia

### The Pumpkin King

Kuudere Butler

## Storyline

The Listener hires Kuudere Butler after their trip with Cypher to help him around the house after they fire all of the staff.

His introduction to the household consists of a list of changes that he needs implemented, which infuriate Cypher. Though he expects to lead the household himself, after the Listener explains that they are to share the role and get along he is quick to agree and get to work. His first job is watching Cypher perform his tasks so he knows how not to be inefficient.

They continue to clash more literally and break a vase as part of their scuffle, which gets the Listener's attention. They ask for an explanation and find out that, though they have divided the task of cleaning the house between them, they are having a territorial dispute over who cleans what and where. Cypher, feeling like his rival is trying to push him out, tries to start another fight but the Listener reiterates that they expect the two of them to work together. The kuudere is aghast at the idea and claims that he's never been shown (what he considers) the proper respect since he was introduced to the house. The butler goes on to blame the broken vase on Cypher because he lost his temper and the other butler apologize to his master and says that the blame lays on both of them. The kuudere offers to throw him and his belongings out but the Listener interrupts and says they must apologize to each other. Both butlers resist but the Listener gets them to apologize to each other, though the kuudere only does so to show that he is the superior butler. He offers to let Cypher help him clean up the broken up the broken vase and the human reluctantly accepts after prompting from his master. The kuudere thanks the Listener for resolving the conflict between them and admits that their kindness maybe makes up for the inefficiencies of the household. His last act is to reprimand Cypher him for calling the Listener "stupid master" under his breath and calls him stupid instead.

## Personality

No-nonsense and blunt, this butler calculates for maximum efficiency in everything related to the service of his master. He deems Cypher to be an inferior butler and finds his emotional attachment to the Listener amusing.

In his second appearance it seems that he's also come to care for the Listener, or at least what they think of him, though it's buried under his his love of efficiency and the competitive desire to be the superior butler.

## Trivia

### Ayanami

* Don't touch his fluffy ears or tail. Just don't.
* Savage af.
* His name is finally mentioned by Cypher in "Shy Neko Asks You For A Job" and tried to turn Tell away but tsundere butler let him in to be interviewed by the Listener.
* Has organized the Listener's library by a numerical system.

## Storyline

The Listener meets their customer at his family home, an old, grand place that is difficult to get to. Dorian Gray has hired them to take his photograph instead of a portrait like he normally gets. He's hired previous photographers but they didn't share the same creative vision as himself. Nevertheless, he feels more confident about the Listener.

He brings them into the study where they notice how similar all the Grey men look in their portraits. Dorian explains that it runs in his family and the photo shoot begins. While being directed he asks when he can have the raw, unedited pictures and is surprised that they will take a week. He asks if they can be given to him earlier and incentivizes the Listener to do so with an invitation to his next party.

Still being directed, he explains that his parties are lavish celebrations of himself and that he invites only the best and the brightest. Even so, he keeps to himself most of the night and only allows a few people to spend time with him in his private room, something that he says is very rare and thus a status symbol among his guests He's cultivated this air of mystique because he finds it opens more doors for him than just his handsome face.

The photo shoot ends and Dorian bargains once more, confident that he will see the Listener in a few days in a less-professional capacity, even offering to show them his favorite portrait should they do as he asks.

## Personality

Dorian is a narcissistic, wealthy young man that thoroughly enjoys being the center of attention. He believes that, because life is short, one should indulge in every pleasure that they can and temptation is only overcome by yielding to it. He is well-aware of just how handsome he is and uses his looks and reputation to surround himself with only the most interesting people. He likes to and does manipulate others to get what he wants.

He is proud of his long family history and lives in a manor surrounded by antiques that are hundreds of years old. His hiring of the Listener is, supposedly, his first modern attempt of having his appearance preserved.

## Trivia

### Dorian Grey

* This character comes from Oscar Wilde's gothic novel *The Picture of Dorian Grey* about a man who, obsessed with living in decadence while staying young and handsome, lives a hedonistic life while a supernatural portrait of himself ages in his place.
* A dear acquaintance recommended that he have a photo shoot instead of a portrait since the camera never lies.

### The Listener

* A physically attractive photographer that Dorian observes could be in front of the camera rather than behind it.
* A professional photographer who doesn't appear to be swayed by Dorian's invitations.
Suisen

Sui-kun

> *"Why are you blushing again?"*
>
>

## Storyline

The Listener meets a kitsune by the river and joins him to enjoy the serenity of nature.

He introduces himself as Suisen, a harmless kitsune who, unlike others of his kind, prefers to spend his time admiring nature or playing with forest animals instead of partaking in the usual mischief against humans.

Together, he and the Listener admire the river and its surroundings and attract the attention of a regular fox that comes to the river for a drink. Suisen is able to communicate with it and it joins them briefly to be petted before going on its way. After this interaction, the Listener, after much coaxing, asks for permission to pet the kitsune's tails which he laughs at but grants nevertheless.

After teasing the Listener a little more he realizes that it's getting late in the day. He encourages the Listener to go back to where they came from but they refuse multiple times even though he explains that dangerous monsters roam the forest at night. He comes up with the idea to allow the Listener to stay with him in his den just for the night and they can go home the next day.

Finally, Suisen extends his friendship to them. They can come to the river where he will most likely be hanging out and they can spend time together as much as they like.

## Personality

Suisen is a very sweet, considerate kitsune that holds great compassion for humans and other animals. He has an affinity for the forest and animals and spends his time communing with nature. Though he doesn't play pranks or harm humans he does tease the Listener for their shy personality as he has no trouble saying what's on his mind. There appears to be no taboo on letting another person touch his tails (no news on his ears though).

He becomes attached to the Listener in a short amount of time. He clearly expresses that he enjoys spending time with them and finds them somehow cute. He would regret it if any harm came to them and looks forward to meeting the Listener in the future.

## Trivia

### Suisen

* This character was created and scripted by Fiori.
* Has multiple tails. They are VERY soft.
* Merely calls the Listener "human."
* He can communicate with foxes though it's not known if it's because he's a kitsune or he's a Disney princess that can talk to all kinds of animals.

### The Listener

* A timid human who hasn't met a kitsune before.
* For whatever reason, they would rather spend time with Suisen in a dangerous forest rather than go home.

Ulysses

> *"You are the single most important person to me in the universe."*

## Storyline

The Listener awakens on a boat drifting down the stream  where Ulysses introduces himself. They have died and he is bringing them to their final rest.

To keep them calm, he explains that he is their personal boatman delivering their soul to a place of peace. He is also like a consultant with the power to create anything his passenger might want in the afterlife, whether it's endless fields and meadows to an amusement park. He tells the Listener to take all the time they need to think of how they would like to spend .

The Listener asks a few questions of him and he shares a little about his background as a celestial guide. He willingly answers but suggests that the bureaucracy of shepherding souls to the afterlife is a boring subject. He asks if they have chosen how they would like their own to look like. The Listener replies and he adds his own suggestions, such as making it so the weather matches their mood. If they want to change anything later they don't have to worry since he's going to be their main contact for the rest of their afterlife.

## Personality

Ulysses is a celestial being trained to guide souls to the afterlife. As such, he is extremely kind and understanding of how confusing a person's death can be. He is sensitive to the needs of his passengers and is especially reassuring while explaining the circumstances of his own appearance and the place they're in. He is open and honest when giving explanations, though he finds humanity much more interesting than the bureaucracy of the Divine. He describes the afterlife (at least the one he delivers people to) as a place where someone can get their well-deserved rest or be rehabilitated, showing that forgiveness is also an essential part of his celestial nature.

When bringing a soul to their afterlife they become his sole priority as they figure out how they want to spend eternity. He helps souls decide how their afterlife should be shaped and remains their "main contact" for the duration of their afterlife.

Ulysses finds humans interesting to look at since his own appearance is incomprehensible and infinite; he describes himself as more of a symbol that changes its appearance based on the perception of whoever he is guiding.

## Trivia

### Ulysses

* Based on Ulysses's dialogue the video is set in the 1800's since he graduated his celestial training in 1463 and he's been working as a boatman for about 400 years.
* Though he prefers the term boatman he is also known as a ferryman, angel of death, or grim reaper.
* Ulysses enjoys singing though appears to be shy, only singing when his passengers fall asleep in the boat.
* The oldest boatman had been working for 1500 years before being promoted.

### The Listener

* Cannot remember anything from their past life as is protocol.

### Fan Theories

* Ulysses used to be human but has long since forgotten.
Leviathan

## Storyline

The Listener meets with the Hotel Sanguine's owner  after being summoned through Villix. He wanted to meet with them since they have already interacted with many of the hotel's residents and become quite popular as a result.

He introduces himself as Levi, owner of a hotel built as a place for the exceptional like Briar and Killian. He sees a spark of brilliance in the Listener that he saw in Briar, similar but different. He's noticed that the darkest parts of the hotel have reached out to them, trying to assimilate them somehow, and observes that he sees within them such potential that they could have a place by his side in the future.

Levi reminds the Listener that they are in a place built for the lost and the broken to find somewhere they belong and that they've been called here for a reason. He makes a tempting offer: a permanent room in the Hotel Sanguine to live in expense-free where they learn everything they want from the other residents.

Before they accept, the Listener asks to know Levi's real name. He counters, saying that if they accept his offer he will tell them. He doesn't budge on his condition and he is positively gleeful when the Listener accepts becoming a permanent resident. He names them "honored resident" and reveals his full name: Leviathan, the demon the guests call father.

## Personality

As a demon and the owner of the Hotel Sanguine, Levi is an intimidating figure. He is serious, formal, and uncompromising when he wants. He takes great pride in the hotel and the residents, going so far as to refer to some of them as his children.

He appears to be a collector of people with dark, chaotic impulses like Briar, Killian, and Volo. The hotel gives them a place where they can belong and act on their true desires and he gets something when they take up a permanent place in the hotel.

## Trivia

### Levi

* Considers Briar to be like a son and Killian is a favorite as well. Other guests are pests or cuckoos in the nest but he doesn't name them.
* The form he currently takes is handsome and desirable but is not his true form.
* The second person to remind the Listener that "sanguine" also translates to "hope".
* He is part of a ritual to magically bind someone to a specific location, done by creating "a pyramid sanguine to pay homage to Leviathan."

### Fan Theories

* Levi is a noble demon, either like Malror ruling over a circle of the Underworld (the hotel) or an archdemon like Graven.
* Levi considers the Shadow People as pests and Villix as the cuckoo which is why the card reader is so afraid of him.
* Accepting Levi's deal is the "step back" that Villix foretold in his reading.
