The Pretenders Guild by Harlevin
Update July 5 2023:
Fixed some errors in the voice files.
Paris and Ash have been forced to close their restaurants and sail to New Trinity after their hometown becomes little more than a rundown hunk of grass floating in the sea, thanks to the king and his taxes. They need money quick, and find an advertisement for a job requiring a guild to escort someone to the capital city. Join the adventure as two best friends fake their way through a get rich quick scheme and end up loving the consequences. Literally?

#Chapter 1
##Rafael
I hate rats – Gentle [Well, I wasn’t expecting that…]
What are you doing out here? – Flirty [Anyway, I was looking for you / I was looking for you of course!]
##Paris
I need the room for a little while – Angry [Yeay, yeah, I got it.]
Who are you? – Flirty [Who am I?]
##Braums
Bring me something to drink – Logical [Ah…]
Do I look feminine to you? – Yes [ I do]
I need a distraction – Angry [Okay, stop!]
Nevermind… – Gentle [It doesn’t take a genius to know he wants to ask me something]
#Chapter 2
##Rafael
Where is he going? – Gentle [Eh…]
##Paris
We’ll just have to share – Flirty [Ooh, looks like I might have some sweet dreams after all!]
##Braums
It’s your job to protect me, so… – Logical [It’s all right, I have to go, too.]
Should we go right? – No [Uhhhh]
#Chapter 3
##Rafael
What should I say – Funny [I clap for him, letting out a few cheers]
Did I say something funny? – Gentle [I shake my head, unwrapping the necklace and freeing it]
Let’s make a play – Flirty [I look over at Rafael, sliding closer to him]
##Paris
What should I say? – Flirty […You know…I think your scars are hot]
Let’s make a play – Funny [Ooh, Paris and I can be the leads! We’ll be furious rivals in a race against time!
##Braums
Forget this ever happened – Gentle [There’s no way I’m going to just let Braums cry in his room alone.]
Do you…like plays? – Flirty [Why Lord Braums, are you inviting me out?]
Let’s make a play – Logical [I’ll be the writer and director!]
#Chapter 4
##Rafael
… – Logical [Difficult
Was I incorrect? – Gentle [I-I mean, um…I wasn’t…I didn’t…]
##Paris
Does the fact that you were paying attention mean you’re interested? – Flirty [I make a valiant effort to wipe the look of terror off my face, covering it up with a smirk]
How to proceed… – Logical [Welp, there’s bound to be tons of berries and mushrooms around nearby. That’ll do!]
##Braums
I should say something to cheer him up – Logical [Look, I would happily vouch for you.]
I don’t want to let you all down – Gentle [Braums, you’re going to be a great king]
#Chapter 5
##Braums
Then Braums comes to me – Gentle [Despite how queasy this whole thing is making me feel, I’m really glad he’s okay. I’m glad we all are.]
Braums is kissing me – Flirty [The complicated thoughts that had been swirling around in my head are immediately gone in favor of thoughts exclusively for the Reaver sharing my blanket.]
##Paris
Paris kissed me – Flirty [No…]
I feel – Logical [You know Paris…I feel like a terrible person, but I keep thinking.]
