Once Upon A Lie (Pino x Reader)
A voice calls your name, pulling you from an eternity of slumber. Y/n, a puppet unlike any other-crafted with extraordinary detail and lifelike presence by the renowned puppet maker, Giuseppe Geppetto. Yet, you are not his only masterpiece. Pino, his greatest creation, was shaped in the image of his late son, Carlos. When fate intertwines your paths, you and Pino become reluctant partners, forced to fight against puppets driven into a violent frenzy and humans with sinister motives. In a world where artificial beings are bound by the Grand Covenant, an unbreakable set of laws, one question lingers in the air: . . . . What happens when a puppet dares to defy its fate? . . . A feeling of warmth spread to your chest as your eyes met his. For a moment, the world around you-the dim glow of flickering street lamps, the distant hum of malfunctioning machinery, the eerie silence of a city once vibrant-faded into nothingness. Pino's eyes, reflecting the soft light, held an emotion you couldn't quite place. Was it recognition? Relief? Or something deeper, something neither of you fully understood? His fingers twitched, a subtle motion as if reaching out, hesitating, then retreating. The cool night air wrapped around you both, but the warmth in your chest only grew stronger. Was this... comfort? A connection beyond gears and strings? Then, the moment shattered. A distant metallic clang echoed through the empty streets, a reminder that danger was never far. The warmth remained, lingering, but reality demanded movement. "Come on," Pino said, his voice steady yet gentle. "We have to keep going." You nodded, but the feeling in your chest didn't fade. Instead, it burned softly, like an ember waiting to ignite. I do not own the artworks, it belongs to its creator same with the game developer Neowiz Games and its publisher Round8 Studio.

He's been transported into a topsy-turvy alternate universe (not a good thing when your mom's expecting you home for dinner), he's recently acquired wooden extremities and is physically incapable of telling a lie (an even worse thing when you pride yourself on not sharing your emotions), and his little sister has been kidnapped, mistaken for the lost princess of the Land of Pittsborough (the worst thing of all because...please refer back to the part about Mom making dinner). In order to save his sister and find a way home, Leo will have to confront an evil queen who lives in an office cubicle, a few mice with horrible fashion sense, and a girl with green skin and webbed toes (but hey, at least she's kind of cute). And he'll have to do it all before the clock strikes midnight or risk being trapped in Pittsborough forever. Now if only he could figure out how to walk on his wooden feet... --------------------------- This short story is a modern day fairytale mashup, partially inspired by Pinocchio, The Frog Prince, and many others.

All characters have a past, a story, some piece of themselves hidden by time that makes clear who they are today. These hidden aspects can be revealed by more than just their stories, too; sometimes, what happens off-screen is even more important than what's on display.
