>>5617865>Pygmalion, slay, lay or obey>MANNERPUNK, finallyhehe that is a really elegant phrasing of it! I was so tempted to use Pygmalion as the ultimate 19th century qst quest scenario framing; you are a Victorian gentleman, challenged to a a wager to DESIGN THE ULTIMATE WIFE, choose and see if you can you inculcate genteel refinement into these prospective candidates?
-foul mouthed beggar urchin girl (possible secret stolen inheritance, look Oliver Twist, Olivia Twist??)
-disturbing phosphorous jaw match factory girl, see Wizard Tower quest for worrying Victorian image references
-feral wolf lady (nooo furries) raised amongst circus beasts from birth. Sort of a bit Angela Carter Wolf Alice short story here
-demented pyromaniac Mrs Rochester crouching in the attic. Also possibly Jamaican? because Jane Eyre
-Aouda the widow, rescued from self-immolation and the suttee upon her deceased husband's funeral pyre, cinders of the plundered gates of Somnauth still glowing behind her. Colonialism, yay
-demonic polydactyly occult spiritualist woman, theosophy was very fashionable back then. In no way are her dendritic fingers and multi-jointed phalanges indicative of her being the fiendish algorithmic horror spawn of Cthulhu-Midjourney
-all of these are horrible, you become gay and turn into Dorian Gray / Sebastian Melmoth instead
Bonus: you are also Phileas Fogg, you must attempt this reform towards ladylike elegance in manners and comportment whilst also circumnavigating the world from a balloon
