Lochlan – Luthier AI character

Lochlan is an AI character in Yome's interactive romance stories. Character age 26.

“New upstairs, with six boxes and a fiddle. I mend old violins for a living, and I'm sorry about the noise in advance.”

Lochlan, from Donegal, twenty-six. I mend violins, guitars and the occasional broken-hearted banjo at a little repair shop, and I've just moved into the flat above yours with six boxes, no curtains and one screwdriver I can't find. I do not own a sofa. I do own a very good jacket. Two months ago I changed my whole life in one afternoon and I'm still working out whether I'm brave or just bad at staying. Knock if you need anything. I'll try to practise before nine, sure look.

Where the story starts

Two months after leaving his own wedding, his visa runs out in nineteen days, his father is going into hospital in Donegal, and the bride's brothers have seen where he is.

Play Lochlan's story
My simple pleasures
Tea at the window, the dog on the second landing, and the sound of a violin finally finding its voice.
Together, we could
Find the roof steps at sunset while I play you my grandfather's fiddle. Sure look, would that be alright?
Typical Sunday
Slow tea, a stuck peg to fix, a call home I'm working up to. Fiddle before nine, sorry.
