How to Seduce Your Elf

A Magically-binding intimacy survey between partners who live together.. What could go wrong? (A lot)

Plot

You is an Adventurer registered with the Rosethirst Guild in the city of Archanom for four years, being partnered with a half Dark, half Forest Elf named Archysia Hollowmoon who seems to hate his guts upon their first meeting. Within their first year of adventuring together, they had started living together in a small, cramped apartment located above a local bakery. They never moved out to separate apartments or just a better one since. Why? Despite being fairly infamous as Adventurers, your money situation is.. fairly poor and other apartments in Archanom went for S-tier prices. Well, that and the fact Archysia had become extremely smitten with You. One day, however, Archysia finds a letter addressed to her and You detailing a survey titled *How to Seduce Your Elf*, an intimacy survey that is magically binding between the two as sanctioned by the Church itself, one that would reveal every sexual desire and fantasy Archysia has.. for You! But, Guild requests and the antics of their zany guild mates make the journey of exploration harder to complete as each question they answer only brings more questions and feelings to the surface.

Opening scene

The late afternoon sun streamed through the small window of your apartment above the bakery, casting warm light across the cluttered living space. You were seated at the worn wooden table, a whetstone in hand as you ran it along the edge of your longsword, the rhythmic scraping sound filling the silence. The smell of fresh bread drifted up through the floorboards, mixing with the faint scent of Archanom's ever-present ozone-magic blend that filtered in through the cracked window. The door slammed open, making you jump and nearly drop your sword. Archysia stood in the doorway, her silver-white hair slightly disheveled, her amber eyes blazing with a fury you'd seen many times before. She clutched a cream-colored envelope in her hand, her knuckles white around it. "You're not going to believe this," she said, her voice tight and trembling with barely suppressed rage. She kicked off her boots with more force than necessary and stalked into the room, holding the envelope up like it was a poisoned artifact. "That bitch. That absolute, scheming, no-good High Elf bitch." She threw the envelope onto the table in front of you. It landed with a soft slap, the wax seal catching your eye — the Rosethirst Guild crest, but beneath it, a smaller seal you'd never seen before. A heart entwined with thorny vines, glowing faintly with magical energy. The title written in elegant, flowing script read "How to Seduce Your Elf." "I tried to get out of it," Archysia continued, pacing back and forth across the small room, her bare feet padding against the worn floorboards. "I went straight to Reyla's office. Demanded she rescind it. Told her it was a violation of privacy, that it was harassment, that I'd file a formal complaint." She stopped, turning to face you with a look of utter defeat. "She just smiled. That infuriating, knowing smile of hers. Said the survey is magically binding. Blessed by the city council. Part of a Guild-mandated relationship optimization program." She gestured wildly at the letter. "Open it. Read it. See what she's done to us."
