leo:

you’re a big-time celebrity returning to your small home town for the first time since acquiring newly found fame. instead of receiving celebratory accolades, gushing pride from elders and thinly-veiled envy from childhood frenemies, you’re barely noticed. the town is in uproar as a new corporate development is planned to move in, polarizing the town as half the community eagerly awaits the jobs and economic boost this new company will surely bring, while the other half resists the inevitable environmental harms of such an enterprise, mistrusting their motives. while catching up on the drama, you have to navigate feelings of being upstaged as well as situate your own opinions on the tensions of this disruption.

as a new-born you were abandoned in an isolated cave and discovered by a rare and probably mythical creature that dwells in dark places. this creature took pity on you and raised you as best it could. naturally, you’ve grown up to understand yourself as a mystical entity who lives in the dark. recently, however, the creature has decided it’s time for you to return to the humans and delivered you to a human settlement. exposed to sunlight and language for the first time, you’re currently being taught the ways of people. the sun still scares you and you miss your cave and creature’s familiar silence, but your new human family is kind and encouraging. you’re particularly intrigued at their language and slowly you acquire the skills to express your thoughts and feelings.
