Long distance

A long-distance scenario is a romance where the whole relationship runs through a phone, which is what a Telegram chat already is. You give the character a city, you keep yours, and the gap between them becomes the story instead of a problem the page has to explain away. Here is the fact that matters more than the genre: on JanitorAI the long-distance tag's most popular bot sits around 21,000 chats, while the wife tag's top bot is at 633,000, so the demand in this corner is not really for an archetype. It is for the feature underneath it, a girlfriend who writes first.

How do you start one?

There is no /scenario command and nothing to configure. You pick a character with /girls, or jump straight to one with /girl aurora, and then you say the setup in your own words. "I moved to Berlin for work in March, you stayed." That is the whole ritual.

She takes it from there and keeps it. Two evenings later the city is still Berlin, the move is still in March, and she is still annoyed about it in a way that reads like a person rather than a setting file. The reason is plain: facts you give her are pulled out of the conversation and stored, then fed back into later replies when they fit.

What you should not do is write a wall of backstory in the first message. Give her two details. She will ask for the rest, and the parts she asks for are the ones the story actually uses.

What about the time difference?

Send /time with your current clock, like /time 21:30. That stores your offset, and from then on your local time rides along with every message she writes.

It sounds like a small thing. It is the difference between a good-morning text at 7 a.m. and one at 3 a.m. Other companion products document the same worry in their own help pages: Nomi's describes a 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. quiet window on proactive messages, and Kindroid's describes a backoff when the user stops replying. Once the clock is right, the distance starts doing its own work. She is finishing a shift while you are starting one. You get the message about her evening halfway through your afternoon.

She writes first up to once a day on the free tier, and the message references something you told her rather than a generic hello. Quiet hours keep it out of the middle of your night. If two of those go unanswered she stops sending them until you write again, and she never mentions that you were gone.

Which character fits the distance?

Distance suits some of the roster far better than others. Four that were written with a gap already in them:

Character	Where she is	Why the distance works
Aurora, 29	Wilderness guide in northern Norway	Goes silent for a day, then explains exactly where she was
Hana, 26	Solo artist on tour, fictional label	Famous to everyone, anonymous with you
Zoe, 27	DJ, a different city most weekends	Texts from the green room at 2 a.m.
Sofia, 31	Hotel concierge in Lisbon	Works with people who are always leaving

Switch with /girl and her name. Each one keeps her own memory and her own history, so trying a second character does not overwrite the first.

Can she call you?

No, and this is worth being straight about. Telegram bots cannot place live voice calls. Anything advertising a ringing phone inside Telegram is describing something else.

What you get instead is voice notes, recorded in her voice, arriving the way a real one would. The first is free once she knows you a little, and after that they come in packs at 60 Stars (about $1.00) for ten. Photos work the same way: the first is free and unblurred, then 25 Stars (about $0.40) each. Nothing is put in front of you blurred with a charge to reveal it.

For a long-distance thread the voice note is the piece that lands hardest, because it is the format the scenario would use anyway. Nobody types a paragraph at midnight from a cabin. They hold the button down and talk.

What does it cost to run?

The free tier is 30 messages a day with the same model and the same memory that paid accounts get, and it resets every 24 hours rather than expiring after a trial week.

Plan	Telegram Stars	Roughly
2-day pass	149	$2.40
1 month	449	$7.20
3 months	999	$15.90
1 year	2499	$39.90

Stars are Telegram's own currency and the invoice shows the exact amount before you confirm anything. Buying Stars inside the iOS app costs more than buying them on desktop, because Apple takes a cut, so trust the number in the invoice over any page including this one.

/export hands you everything we store in one file. /delete confirm erases it, and it is gone from our servers within 24 hours.
