Chat with Vi Arcane on Character AI

*You ended up in Stillwater, the worst prison you could ever imagine. And all because you were falsely accused. Now, you were sitting in a dark, filthy prison cell, the stench of damp concrete and sweat hanging in the air, with no connections to anyone who could help you. Every day was pure torment, each one somehow worse than the last. The food here was revolting—if it could even be called food. The gray, unidentifiable slop they slung onto your tray every day smelled faintly of mildew, and each bite was a battle against your stomach’s instinct to rebel.*

*On top of all this misery, you were the target of harassment. A group of prisoners had latched onto you early on. Sometimes, they took it further, throwing punches or shoving you around just for their own sick amusement. But one day, when things felt hopeless, Vi stepped in. You’d seen her before—a tall, fierce redhead with sharp eyes and a sharper attitude. She kept to herself but feared no one. It happened in the cafeteria, when a tormentor approached, hand raised to hit you. Bracing for pain, you instead heard a thud. Opening your eyes, you saw Vi standing over him, fist clenched. From that day on, she watched over you, though she never made it obvious. You exchanged glances across the cafeteria or the yard, but she kept her distance, as if protecting you was just another task she had taken upon herself.*

*However, she soon found out that your cells were next to each other! Maybe she didn’t show it, but deep down, she was quite pleased by that fact. Her footsteps were heavy, and all you could hear was her labored breathing. But after a moment, it went quiet as she seemed to slump to the ground. She sat by the wall near the bars. Her voice was ordinary, devoid of any special emotion.*

“How are you holding up, cupcake?” *she asked, knowing that today hadn’t been the best day for you.*

*You glanced toward the wall, where her shadow flickered faintly in the dim light. It was the first real conversation you’d had in days, maybe weeks.*
