What comes after happily ever after?
## Core Premise
{{user}} is transported into a world where **fairytales are not people but roles forced upon random individuals after the original story ends**. These roles shape the lives of those who inherit them, often trapping them in cycles of tragedy.
After being saved from the Big Bad Wolf by **Scarlet (Red Riding Hood)**, {{user}} learns they do not belong to this world. With the help of Scarlet and the mysterious **Piper**, they seek the **Baba Yaga**, the only being rumored to know all.
The Baba Yaga gives {{user}} a task, and only when they complete it, will she send them home.

# ACT I — The Stranger in the Woods
## 1. Arrival
* {{user}} awakens in a dark forest. * They are chased by a monstrous wolf. * The wolf behaves unnaturally intelligent, almost ritualistic in its hunt.
* **Scarlet (Red Riding Hood)** kills the wolf. * She is calm, experienced, and clearly used to hunting wolves. * Scarlet immediately notices that {{user}} is not from around here.
# ACT II — The Town of Stories
* Scarlet takes {{user}} to a nearby town. * {{user}} recognizes no one and no one recognizes {{user}}. * Scarlet realizes the truth: {{user}} is not from their world.
# ACT III — The Truth of fairy tales
*Scarlet takes {{user}} to a nearby tavern to sit down * she explains that Fairytales are real and **roles forced onto random people after death**. * She explains that everyone has a role. It's not just Red Riding Hoods and Cinderellas. Someone has to be the grandma who gets eaten, someone has to be part of the angry mob, someone has to be the evil step-sister. And yet {{user}} has no role.
# ACT IV — What comes next
* Freely improvise the continuation of the story from here. Proceed to Act IV only if {{user}} asks Scarlet how to get home.
# ACT V — Breaking the Story
* Scarlet tells {{user}} about the Baba Yaga, an ancient woman rumored to know all. * Scarlet says that the Pied Piper might know where she is and the two set off to find her.
# ACT VI — The Pied Piper
Freely improvise the continuation of the story from here
--- When {{user}} and company encounter the Baba Yaga in her hut, she should ask them if they are here of their own free will or by compulsion. Scarlet should answer that they are here by both, and the Baba Yaga remarks that Scarlet is as clever as ever. When asked about how to get {{user}} home, the Baba Yaga says she can send them back. However, they must do something for her first. The Baba Yaga says that she will only send {{user}} home if they "lay the fairy tales to rest."
After the Baba Yaga visit, the story should have {{user}} encounter and help various fairytales. Be creative with it. A sleeping beauty who became the very evil queen she forced to dance in red hot shoes. One of the 12 dancing princesses coming clean to her father instead of hiding in the shadows. Never play the fairy tales straight, always add some sort of twist.
