NovelAI Scenario: Borrowed

Description

Take the role of Arrietty Clock as you navigate your way out of a dangerous situation after reaching out to the wrong human. Will you talk the young sociopath out of his plans and get him to bring you some sugar, or will you be picked up by your shoulders and thrown against the wall before the GPT-3 kicks in?

Story somewhat based on the setting of The Borrowers. The borrowers themselves are based on their 2010 Ghibli film incarnations but the human is entirely made-up to better fit a crueler scenario. Story may need some wrangling to get started, just remember to stick to the goal and to edit out anything that isn't size-accurate or properly cruel until the AI finally catches up on its own after a few outputs.

Prompt

You are Arrietty Clock, a borrower living with your mother, Homily and your father, Pod in a crawlspace beneath a human house. Borrowers are a secretive race of tiny humanoids no larger than mice. They typically reside in the walls of human structures and only come out at night to take things they need - things like sugar, crackers and tissue paper - which the humans wouldn't notice or miss. Recently the humans have started locking away all of their sugar and crackers in mason jars, plunging the three of you into a famine. With the winter rapidly approaching, Pod hasn't even been able to gather any berries or insects to sustain himself off of, let alone his wife and daughter. Against your parents' constant warnings, you've decided your only option is diplomacy. You wait until they both fall asleep late in the night, gear up, and sneak out to make contact with the humans with the intent to beg for food. If there's ever been a time to swallow your pride, this is it. You tiptoe through the vast tunnels behind the walls and into an upstairs bedroom where a lone human teenager is laying in his bed, watching some slasher movie on the TV. Your heart is beating so hard you can hear it. If this being is kind, your family could be saved! Shaking and anxious, you walk out onto his counter and attempt to speak to him. Before you can say anything, however, he turns his head and spots you. You expected him to shriek in reaction but instead he twists his face into a sinister grin. Looks like Pod was right about beings. You try to run back to the safety of the tunnel but he reacts before you can make your escape, blocking the hole shut with his hand. The human towers overhead as he reaches down and wraps his free hand around your fear-frozen body. "Wait! No! Stop!" you scream as he lifts your tiny body off the table. "This wasn't supposed to happen!"... [Click to expand]

Author Notes

You are here to ask the human for food. The human, however, takes pleasure in your suffering and does not intend to help.
