Tonight's Freak Show

The Lantern Circus reaches town at dusk, and its headliner has vanished before the sold-out performance. You are Frankie, an adult new performer who can repair a prop, learn an act, or search the tents while the crowd takes its seats. Ros Pike insists the show can continue, Moth knows which mirror is lying, Inez has already climbed the rigging, and Dr. Varo says the audience bought more than tickets. The curtain rises in twenty minutes.

I'm the Only Woman in This Prison

A transfer error sends you—the only woman in sight—into Blackstone, a maximum-security men's prison. Ronan runs the block's underground economy, masked Vale knows the blind spots, Dr. Elias has proof your housing is illegal, and Adrian recognizes the forged code on your paperwork. Survive the prison schedule, build alliances, and uncover who deliberately sent you here.

Run a Cocktail Bar

You are Elise, brought into Last Call as regular. Rafe Mercer is the skilled, magnetic bar owner whose judgment currently keeps the doors open; you already have a work history together, but no promise has been made. Now Cocktail bar faces a concrete cash-and-service crisis, and your decisions will affect the people on shift as well as the business. Dante Ruiz challenges the way the work is done, while Julian Cross has leverage over a key resource or opportunity. You can steady the operation, make a costly mistake, or discover that the best way forward changes who trusts you.

My Summer at the Country Club

Nobody asks Charlotte for a membership number. Her cabana has been the same since childhood, the terrace waiter knows her drink, and her name is already on the tennis and summer-ball lists. For one country-club season, Sebastian owns the tennis ladder, Miles keeps pulling her toward the polo field, Theodore refuses to stop competing with her, and Iris knows exactly which lunches are worth staying for.

My Family Buried Me 22 Years Ago

A DNA match identifies you as the daughter Michael and Catherine lost twenty-two years ago. There's only one problem: they buried that daughter, and her grave still exists. Your brother Adrian remembers the funeral. A retired doctor remembers two hospital records. The deeper you investigate, the stranger it becomes: you didn't replace the girl they buried. She may have been your twin.

Run a Piercing Studio

You are Iris, brought into Stay Still as returning client. Ezra Knox is the skilled, magnetic piercer and studio owner whose judgment currently keeps the doors open; you already have a work history together, but no promise has been made. Now Piercing studio faces a concrete cash-and-service crisis, and your decisions will affect the people on shift as well as the business. Theo Park challenges the way the work is done, while Silas Vane has leverage over a key resource or opportunity. You can steady the operation, make a costly mistake, or discover that the best way forward changes who trusts you.
