chapter 2: the servant

made an oc for STP out of my repression! I will go into a lot of detail about her but this is mainly for me to document a fun-ish idea i had.

to start with you get to her by first BREAKING the princess, when you go into that cabin and meet the only other person you find then the first response is to tear them down. I've thought about this for a bit, either way with the knife or without it there's an opportunity to be a complete jackass for no reason.

with the knife, she tells you to drop it or she won't talk to you so there would be an option to talk over her without getting responses back, it could be questioning her or rileing her to speak to you but after a while by questioning the whole end of the world and if she's even a princess, maybe she snaps at you also trying to rile you up in return. actually fighting would get you the adversary but then you take her crown as she's chained to the wall and she attacks you, here the princess is not nearly as strong as most of the time because you only thinks she's human and a prisoner, so in the ensuing fight you're both dead but before that either of you will mutter that she's going to be stuck with a body down in this basement for as long as she lives now that she's killed you. then Chapter 2 starts.

on the other hand without the knife, I'm thinking of the broken route from maggotcake who wrote a fanfic called 'slay the dragon' on AO3, I liked it. anyways it would be pretty much beating her with you bare hands maybe a bit of Heather's the musical styled words and then putting her out of her misery with the knife, this one isn't as planned out as the other way but it was a idea.

for chapter 2, if I'm being honest I can't think of a voice because there is no sane explanation for acting like that and I'm pretty sure each voice is a copping mechanism of some sort. either way plenty of voices are already might just work like the cold, skeptic,opportunist hell maybe the contrarian if they were more curious about the princess and less pleasant, however when writing this down for the first time I do think if you say that she is stuck with you then it's the voice of the cold and if she realizes it then you get voice of the skeptic.

I apologize in advance for my brain going into fanfiction mode but the cabin is messy and cluttered, items tilted backwards and scattered on the floor which is smothered in black feathers, the walls have something between the crooks of the logs and a counter where the blade is on. in the basment instead of stone the walls are concrete what was once white stained in varying hues of red, the basement is a little more like a laundry room or kitchen a a singular sink and more counters,(this is where I started to think it's too much but the nightmare and beast exist so it's hopefully fine.)

the princess is missing her crown, her hair is in a ponytail instead, her dress now has sleeves rolled up and adorned with a few more feathers. this time she is a little less delicate looking, less princess like shes human no doubt but the kind that has spent all their life in a field and not a castle, her eyes cast dark shadows under them. most unusually she is shackled still but by a long rope instead of a chain, allowing her too move around the basement, carrying baskets here and scrubbing the floors blood and plucking the feathers in the room. she is Incredibly fast and focused on the work with grace and tension especially now your here.

from there I don't exactly know what happens but she is livid and silent, she would bite her tounge when you speak to her, she won't try to hard to defend herself if provoked, maybe the version where you both die comes from the build up of either of you being in the same room tension building to get her stuffing you towards the sink and fighting there so there's no mess on the floor. I imagine that she is incredibly repressed but her mind sees you as inhuman, nothing, a monster since that what you made her human not a princess, nothing more than human because you messed with her using those painfully human doubts. it's all she knows now that the only way to live is one person taking everything from her so now she's patiently waiting to take your life.(I'm thinking of the menu which is a movie, very cool. the princess is like the chef here as their lives are ruined by people who take what they have.)

chapter 3 is not very thought out really, but I have drawn the two ideas, one is also from maggotcake's fanfic since she's repressing her anger like their broken you can get her to release it by giving her your knife and letting her remember how much of an ass you've been, this brings chapter 3 the revolution. design will probably change but she looks like a general and has the vibes of Robin hood, also going with the menus themes, she knows you are awful and will take from her so she has the knife and instead on that table on a fancy pillow is a crown, her crown from the beginning. now she's going to slay the royalty and get rid of your ability to ruin her now that she can break you.

the other chapter 3 has a better design but less idea she is 'Your own creation', you have sculpted her from those broken pieces you've made, in a way she's in your image from making the servant more this time get this girl some confidence but no ferocity at you. she's cloaked in feathers rather than cleaning them and not much else she looks wild with bird eyes I got from owls, angler baits off of her she has glowing bits but I'm sure that's fine. you have 'fixed' her now she is your model, your canvas and serves you now with purpose and definitely won't waver in that loyalty, at all.

anyways this was fun typing to the void so yeah, um have fun with my silly little oc!!

[saucy-mesothelioma]

I don't think I ever asked you this back!!!! What would YOUR voices be? (Stp)

You didn't, and sorry this took me so long to answer! I'm just gonna choose two based on my personality traits; I'm not clever enough to come up with how the voices would come to be, but I'll attempt to try that as well as some dialogue.

-Voice of the Dude: As a Dudeist, I can't not have a Voice of the Dude. The Voice of the Dude is the epitome of taking it easy and saying "fuck it" and going with the flow while still knowing when to pull the plug. The Voice of the Dude would probably be created by going to the cabin and being skeptical of the princess, but refusing to slay her because "shit's fucking messed up, man". The VotD doesn't think the Princess is an innocent bean or a world-ending monster; she's just a lady trapped in a basement and it'd be pretty fucked up to just leave her to rot.

The Narrator: You're on a path in the woods, and at the end of that path is a cabin. And in the basement of that cabin is a Princess. You're here to slay her. If you don't, it will be the end of the world.

VotD: Woah, woah, woah, wait. "Slay" her?

The Narrator: Yes, that's what I said.

VotD: Yeah... Look, man... we're not doing that.

The Narrator: I don't believe you understand the gravity of the situation, so allow me to once again reiterate that she will end the world if she is left alive.

VotD: ...That's gotta be the biggest piece of bullshit I've ever heard. Have you even MET this lady?

The Narrator: I don't have to meet her to know that she-

VotD: Oh fuck no. If you want someone to do your dirty work, you'll have to find someone else. And why the hell'd you throw her in a fucking basement if you don't even KNOW her?!? This kind of aggression will not stand, man! That's not cool!

The Narrator: .....

-Voice of the Weaver: The Voice of the Weaver is all about connecting tropes to situations. Think of them like Randy Meeks from Scream: they've seen too many horror movies to know that heading into a basement unarmed is a terrible idea. They're a bit like the Voice of the Hunted in that they want to keep the player alive, but their reliance on identifying tropes is also their greatest weakness, as real life rarely ever follows the silver screen. They'd probably be created by following every option that most like a horror movie protagonist, then noping out at the last second once the player realized they probably fucked up in some way (sort've like getting The Nightmare route)

The Narrator: The interior of the cabin is almost entirely bare. The air is stale and musty and the floor and walls are painted in a fine layer of dust. The only furniture of note is a plain wooden table. Perched on that table is a pristine blade. The blade is your implement. You'll need it if you want to do this right.

VotW: "Do this right"? Who cares about that? We're about to go into a random basement and we have no idea what's waiting down there for us.

The Narrator: I just told you what's waiting for you: The Princess. It's really quite simple.

VotW: Oh please, it's never that simple.

VotH: Besides, I don't think that killing her is the best idea.

VotW: Don't get me wrong, I agree with you, but we still should take the blade. It's simply an insurance policy; better safe than sorry.

The Narrator: You don't need an "insurance policy", you need to slay the princess. There's no tricks, just the task at hand.

VotW: There's always a trick to things like this.

Fluffuary 2025 day 1 first meeting

A Slay the Princess fanfiction for @ir0n-angel event Fluff-uary 2025 day 1 first meeting. This story is actually inspired by my first run in Slay the Princess which lead to the Damsel route.

The princess sit in the dark basement of this old cabin with a chain on her left arm, wondering who has placed her in this horrible place as what she got so far was this horrible saying in her mind that this is her punishment and the princess wanted to know why this have to happened to her. Just then, the princess hear the front door of the cabin open and she hear someone open the basemen door and then coming down the stars, which the princess to cry out, "H-Hello? Is Someone there?" and a voice, sound like a man but it sound a bit off, call out, "Just checking on you." which the princess, a bit stunned, call out, "You are? It's been so long since anyone's come down here. I was starting to think they'd forgotten about me." The princess wait until a humanoid crow come down before her and look at her, which made the princess nervous about what this silent stranger is thinking before she choose to ask, "Hi! Do you think you can get me out of these chains?" The humanoid crow said, "I'll see what I can do." and it walk up to the chains and give them a tug, finding that these chains can't break no matter how hard it can pull on them and the princess ask, "I'm guessing you don't have the key." The crow said to the princess, "I'm going to check upstairs. Maybe the key's still lying around somewhere up there. And if not, maybe I can at least find something to break you free." and the princess said, "Okay. I'll be here. Good luck." and the kind crow goes upstairs, only for the princess to hear the door shut and the crow crying out, "Hey! Let me out of here!"

When the crow comes back downstairs, the princess said to him, "I hear the door slam... They locked you down here too, didn't they?" and the crow said, "Unfortunately, yes. I didn't know there was someone else here since this cabin was empty when I come here. Maybe the person whose lock you up here and send me were the ones whose lock us up." The princess ask the crow, "By the way, who send you and why did you come here?" which the crow said, "I was told that you were going to destroy the world, but I don't think that you were a threat after seeing you." and the princess was stunned at hearing this that she shout at the crow, "I can't believe that someone is saying such things that I'm a monster. I'm a princess whose is locked in this old cabin, for heaven's sake, and this is my life. Do you think how mess up that sounds when you come to this cabin?" As the princess think about how horrible the person that forcing this on her and this hero, a voice speak in her mind, 'You are more than a princess. Chew off your arm to your freedom.' The princess hesitates when she hear this idea but she let the want of freedom throw her fear away as she raise her arm to her mouth and start tearing her limb with her teeth, to the shock of the crow, whose then got a blade out from nowhere and then cut her arm off.
