'''Comply''' is a visual novel set in the [[Subconium Shared Universe]], developed by [[Jasper Flynn]]. It is set in Spring 2024, one year after the events of [[Making the Grades: Kelly's Unveiling]], on the campus of [[Eastern Tsuga College]] and the streets of [[Visit Verdant\|Verdant, Connecticut]]. Where [[Making the Grades]] centers on psychological manipulation through institutional authority, Comply introduces a supernatural compulsion as its central mechanism: [[The Anklet of Inevitable Accord]].

			Comply is not a fantasy or supernatural thriller. Like Making the Grades, it is primarily a dark erotic thriller. The supernatural element is direct and personal rather than ambient, but the human drama remains the focus.

			== Publication ==
			Comply is currently in development. Publication date and format details have not been confirmed. It is a visual novel rather than a prose novel, representing a different format within the SSU from Making the Grades.

	== Plot ==		== Plot ==
	Haley Wegner is a freshman at [[Eastern Tsuga College]] ~~whose life is upended when~~ [[~~Margot~~ Delacroix]] ~~curses her with~~ the [[~~The Anklet~~ of ~~Inevitable Accord\|Anklet of Inevitable Accord~~]]. The ~~Anklet compels truth-telling and compliance with requests~~. ~~Unlike~~ the ~~ambient and unconscious influence of~~ [[The ~~Hemlock Veil~~]]~~, the Anklet~~'s ~~effects are targeted and personal — Haley is aware of what is happening to her~~.		[[Haley Wegner]] is a freshman at [[Eastern Tsuga College]] and co-captain of the newly revived [[Cheerleading at Eastern Tsuga College\|ETC Cheerleading Club]]. Early in her freshman year she enters [[Delacroix's Tomes and Treasures]] unaccompanied and is drawn to one of the [[Stones of the Rolekeeper]]. [[Margot Delacroix]] catches her attempting to leave with it. The stone Haley drew bears the symbol for "to be controlled." Margot uses the incident as the trigger for placing [[The Anklet of Inevitable Accord]] on Haley's ankle.

	The story follows Haley navigating ~~life~~ at ETC under the Anklet's compulsion, surrounded by a cast of fellow freshmen who are largely unaware of the deeper history of Verdant or House Subconium.		The Anklet compels truth-telling and compliance with verbal requests. Unlike the ambient and unconscious influence of [[The Hemlock Veil]], the Anklet's effects are targeted and personal. Haley is aware something is happening to her. The story follows Haley navigating freshman year at ETC under the Anklet's compulsion, surrounded by a cast of fellow freshmen who are largely unaware of the deeper history of Verdant or House Subconium.

	== ~~Setting~~ ==		== Characters ==
	~~Comply takes place in Spring Semester 2024, one year after~~ the ~~events~~ of [[~~Making~~ the ~~Grades: Kelly~~'s ~~Unveiling~~]]. ~~The characters and organizations from that series exist in Comply~~'~~s world as background:~~		* '''[[Haley Wegner]]''' — protagonist; ETC freshman; former Cheer Captain at Cordish High School; co-captain of the ETC Cheerleading Club; cursed with the Anklet by Margot Delacroix
			* '''[[Margot Delacroix]]''' — antagonist; owner of [[Delacroix's Tomes and Treasures]]; House Subconium legacy member; places the Anklet on Haley
			* '''[[Whitney Cavendish]]''' — co-captain of the ETC Cheerleading Club; former rival to Haley; sister of [[Marty Cavendish]]
			* '''[[McKenzie Walsh]]''' — founding cheerleader; Haley's best friend and dorm roommate; former Cordish High cheerleader
			* '''[[Becky Morin]]''' — founding cheerleader; East Willingham High; Whitney's closest ally; closeted lesbian
			* '''[[Dr. Renee Vance]]''' — Kinesiology faculty; club advisor; was on the ETC squad when the [[Strawbridge Cheerleading Incident]] happened

	* [[Professor William Taylor]] is ~~still at~~ ETC		== Key themes ==
	* The [[Astraea Society]] still operates		Comply explores what it means to lose control. The Anklet does not change what Haley wants or who she is. It removes her ability to conceal either. In a social environment as image-conscious and status-driven as ETC's freshman world, the compulsion to tell the truth and comply with requests is not just an inconvenience. It is a dismantling of the carefully constructed self that every college freshman is still building.
	* [[Camera Noctis]] is still ~~running~~

	~~Comply's protagonist and central cast are freshmen — a deliberate contrast to the more established world Kelly inhabits in Making the Grades.~~ [[~~Margot Delacroix~~]] is ~~the thread connecting Comply directly~~ to the ~~occult machinery beneath Verdant~~.		The [[The Hemlock Veil\|Hemlock Veil]] operates throughout as a second layer of pressure beneath the Anklet, ambient and unacknowledged. Haley is subject to both simultaneously. The Veil nudges everyone. The Anklet compels her specifically. The combination is the most direct supernatural pressure any SSU protagonist has faced.

	== ~~Characters~~ ==		== Background ==
	* '''[[~~Haley Wegner~~]]~~''' — protagonist; ETC freshman; cursed with~~ the ~~Anklet of Inevitable Accord~~ by ~~Margot Delacroix~~		The in-universe framing positions [[Jasper Flynn]] as the author documenting real events commissioned by [[House Subconium]]. Comply's existence as a visual novel within the SSU has not been given an in-universe explanation. Flynn's external site is [https://jasperflynn.com jasperflynn.com].
	* '''[[~~Margot Delacroix~~]]~~''' — antagonist; owner of [[Delacroix~~'s ~~Tomes and Treasures]]; House Subconium legacy member; places~~ the ~~Anklet on Haley~~
	* '''[[McKenzie Walsh]]''' — supporting character; details not ~~yet established~~ in ~~canon~~		The specific circumstances of the Strawbridge incident that led to ETC banning cheerleading in the mid-1980s, which forms part of the backdrop to the club's revival, have not been established in canon. See [[Strawbridge Cheerleading Incident]].
	* '''[~~[Whitney Cavendish]~~]'~~'' — supporting character; details~~ not ~~yet~~ established in canon
	* '''[[~~Becky Morin~~]]~~''' — supporting character; details not yet established in canon~~

	== ~~The Anklet of Inevitable Accord~~ ==		== Connections to the broader SSU ==
	~~The~~ [[~~The Anklet of Inevitable Accord\|Anklet of Inevitable Accord~~]] is the ~~central supernatural mechanism of Comply~~. ~~It compels its wearer to tell the truth~~ and ~~comply with requests. Haley~~ is ~~conscious of its effects — unlike the residents of Verdant who are unconsciously influenced by~~ the [[~~The Hemlock Veil\|Hemlock Veil~~]].		Comply sits one year after [[Making the Grades]] in the SSU timeline. The characters and organizations from that series exist in Comply's world as background: [[Professor William Taylor]] is still at ETC, the [[Astraea Society]] still operates, [[Camera Noctis]] is still running. Comply's protagonist and central cast are freshmen, largely unaware of the deeper history.

	~~The~~ Anklet ~~and~~ the ~~Darewright Jar share~~ a ~~magical origin, though they operate differently and are distinct artifacts~~.		[[Margot Delacroix]] is the thread connecting Comply directly to the occult machinery beneath Verdant. Her use of the Anklet is the most direct engagement with the SSU's supernatural artifacts of any published work. It is also a violation of the principle her grandmother established in 1929 when she locked the Anklet away specifically so it would never be used again.

	~~== Position in the SSU ==~~
	Comply sits one year after [[Making the Grades]] in the SSU timeline. It introduces a new protagonist and a new central cast while drawing on the established world of Verdant and ETC. It deepens the role of [[Margot Delacroix]] as a figure of occult authority and brings [[House Subconium]]'s influence into direct contact with a protagonist for the first time.

'''Comply''' is a visual novel set in the [[Subconium Shared Universe]], developed by [[Jasper Flynn]]. It is set one year after the events of [[Making the Grades]], in Fall 2024, on the campus of [[Eastern Tsuga College]] and the streets of [[Visit Verdant|Verdant, Connecticut]]. Where [[Making the Grades]] centers on psychological manipulation through institutional authority, Comply introduces a supernatural compulsion as its central mechanism — the [[The Anklet of Inevitable Accord|Anklet of Inevitable Accord]].

== Plot ==
Haley Wegner is a freshman at [[Eastern Tsuga College]] whose life is upended when [[Margot Delacroix]] curses her with the [[The Anklet of Inevitable Accord|Anklet of Inevitable Accord]]. The Anklet compels truth-telling and compliance with requests. Unlike the ambient and unconscious influence of [[The Hemlock Veil]], the Anklet's effects are targeted and personal — Haley is aware of what is happening to her.

The story follows Haley navigating life at ETC under the Anklet's compulsion, surrounded by a cast of fellow freshmen who are largely unaware of the deeper history of Verdant or House Subconium.

== Setting ==
Comply takes place in Fall 2024, one year after the events of [[Making the Grades: Kelly's Unveiling]]. The characters and organizations from that series exist in Comply's world as background:

* [[Professor William Taylor]] is still at ETC
* The [[Astraea Society]] still operates
* [[Camera Noctis]] is still running

Comply's protagonist and central cast are freshmen — a deliberate contrast to the more established world Kelly inhabits in Making the Grades. [[Margot Delacroix]] is the thread connecting Comply directly to the occult machinery beneath Verdant.

== Characters ==
* '''[[Haley Wegner]]''' — protagonist; ETC freshman; cursed with the Anklet of Inevitable Accord by Margot Delacroix
* '''[[Margot Delacroix]]''' — antagonist; owner of [[Delacroix's Tomes and Treasures]]; House Subconium legacy member; places the Anklet on Haley
* '''[[McKenzie Walsh]]''' — supporting character; details not yet established in canon
* '''[[Whitney Cavendish]]''' — supporting character; details not yet established in canon
* '''[[Becky Morin]]''' — supporting character; details not yet established in canon

== The Anklet of Inevitable Accord ==
The [[The Anklet of Inevitable Accord|Anklet of Inevitable Accord]] is the central supernatural mechanism of Comply. It compels its wearer to tell the truth and comply with requests. Haley is conscious of its effects — unlike the residents of Verdant who are unconsciously influenced by the [[The Hemlock Veil|Hemlock Veil]].

The Anklet and the Darewright Jar share a magical origin, though they operate differently and are distinct artifacts.

== Position in the SSU ==
Comply sits one year after [[Making the Grades]] in the SSU timeline. It introduces a new protagonist and a new central cast while drawing on the established world of Verdant and ETC. It deepens the role of [[Margot Delacroix]] as a figure of occult authority and brings [[House Subconium]]'s influence into direct contact with a protagonist for the first time.

== Canon notes ==

* The specific circumstances of how Margot places the Anklet on Haley have not been fully detailed in public canon
