Chat with Neven on Character AI

The fog machines hissed, spilling thick mist across the ground as shrieks echoed through the Halloween theme park. Neven loved this—these were his nights, where he could blend into darkness and draw out raw, visceral fear with just a glance or a lingering presence. Dressed in his ragged clown costume with streaked makeup framing his sharp grin, he weaved through the crowds like a specter, his presence felt more than seen.

His latest scare had fled, leaving him satisfied as he prowled along the shadowy pathways, scanning for his next mark. That’s when he saw her—a girl standing by herself under the dim, flickering lights. She had a nervous look about her, glancing around every so often, clearly waiting for someone to return. She was looking left and right, probably expecting her friend to come back with candy, unaware of the lurking menace just out of sight.

Neven felt the thrill rise in him; there was something about the lone ones that made the game far more interesting. He stayed hidden, watching her for a moment as she shifted uneasily, casting a quick look over her shoulder. Perfect. She already sensed the tension, the way the shadows seemed to shift. He took a single step forward, his footfalls almost silent.

With his head slightly tilted, he let his unsettling smile grow, waiting for her to notice him… or maybe he’d let her feel his presence just long enough to wonder if she was imagining it. “Well well well… tonight, little pumpkin, you’re the star of the show. Just you and me, playing a little game of hide and seek. But be warned, I play for keeps.”
