January

01/11 | NETWORK John Doe 4♦ — "I think if it's someone who doesn't know, it might be best to offer a warning, first."

01/16 | TDM Cale 6♠ — "The lucky bags are a real problem, and Kaveh's luck is infamous at best."

01/16 | TDM Sylvain 4♦ — "It's a feeling that doesn't long, though, as the effects of the oil start to slowly creep under his skin."

01/16 | TDM Lilja (?) — "As a solo guest, he's been paired up with a few people at this point, and as the day comes to an end, he finds himself on another massage table..."

01/16 | TDM Topaz A♥ — "Between the puppy yoga he can't do—which doesn't stop him from rolling around (carefully) on the floor with the puppies afterwards—and the relaxation lounge with its numerous cats, Kaveh is having the time of his life."

01/16 | TDM Arthur 3♣ — "Kaveh is appropriately mortified, and remains as such as he's promptly taken out to the "showroom", where prospective adopters can consider him as an offering."

01/16 | TDM Alhaitham 4♣ — "She makes an immediate pivot, telling Kaveh that she has the perfect dining partner in mind for him, and honestly the architect doesn't mind—at least until he realizes about halfway to the table that said "perfect dining partner" is the same person he's been doing his absolute best to avoid for the past four weeks and change."

01/16 | TDM Glinda — "His apology is genuine, as is his empathy. While he never took too happily to his own fame back at home, it was still strange arriving here to find it completely gone. A place where his name meant nothing. Just like hers."

01/16 | TDM Date 4♦ — "Kaveh hasn't even bothered lifting his head off the pillow just yet. Admittedly, he's been hoping that he'll just suffocate in it."

01/17 | TDM John Doe 4♦ — "He's still making his way down the hallway past the various rooms when he spots a familiar face—a familiar god, lurking in the doorway of what has to be his own room."

02/04 | INBOX Alhaitham 4♣ — "Alhaitham, are you free?"

January

01/09 | NETWORK — "Hey there! I’ve recently had a pretty significant upgrade to my quality of life here in the resort, and I’m ready to make the most of it by spending more time with some great company."

🔞 01/16 | TDM Eiden 8♦ — "Kaveh is far from experienced in the role luck has assigned him—In fact, for a moment he strongly considers just leaving."

01/16 | TDM Jing Yuan (?) — "He glances around as he steps into the Lovers' Hideaway proper, offering a small smile to anyone who catches his eye."

01/16 | TDM Baizhu Q♠ — "It's a safe space in the midst of the resort's craziness, and for the first time since it happened, Kaveh thinks he's genuinely happy that he's now a "royal"."

01/20 | INBOX Leo 10♠ — "Your friend, Hiyori Tomoe? He told me you were interested in blind dates and suggested I text you so we could set one up."

🔞 01/20 | INBOX Sylvain 10♦ — "When Sylvain arrives, he'll be quick to answer the door, offering a sweet smile, a tilt of his head—a bite of his lower lip as he takes in the sight of the other man."

February

02/10 | WELCOME EVENT Rufus J♥ — "Let's start with something simple, then: What do you do outside of the resort? I mean, before you came here."

02/10 | WELCOME EVENT Dr. Ratio 3♣ — "To his own surprise, Kaveh barks out a sudden laugh at the entirely-too-scholarly consideration of the topics that have been offered to them. It's almost nice to hear someone talking the way people would back at home."

02/10 | INBOX Basch Q♠ — "Since having been ranked up to a royal, he's found the bar/restaurant to be one of the most comfortable places for him to go within the resort, with its low-key nature allowing him a modicum more privacy than other places."

02/10 | WELCOME EVENT Wei Wuxian 3♦ — "Honestly, I'm not sure you want to hear about it. It was kind of a mess."

02/11 | OPEN LOG Yusuke 7♦ — "He doesn't expect to bump into him as he walks back—not that he knows it's him. As he enters one of the hallways, a rushing figure practically crashes into him, and it's only Kaveh reaching out to grab him that stops them both from going flying at the walls—"

02/12 | CATCH-ALL Joshua 4♦ — "He checks his watch and adjusts his angle accordingly, looking up and offering a smile at the only person who could possibly have taken it."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

March

03/17 | NETWORK Ragna 10♦ — "I wouldn't want to come back here, that's for certain."

03/17 | TDM Tighnari (?) — "He shouldn't, but he can't quite help himself: he steps forward, arms circling his friend's smaller frame and pulling him into a tight hug."

03/18 | TDM Wanderer (?) — "And yet... thirty minutes has well and truly passed. He's tracked it with the self-same watch, and... nothing. Nothing outside of the usual ache of arousal that games and events in this place tend to offer its guests, anyway. He's not even really sure what he's meant to be hunting."

🔞 03/30 | TDM Baizhu Q♠ — "Before he can move any further forward, though, his arms are snagged—his legs follow as he struggles and kicks out—and within moments he's immobile, vines holding him fast in the service of an all-too-familiar face."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

May

05/11 | NETWORK Weiss Q♠ — "I'm glad you're alright. I've been worried about you."

05/13 | INBOX Olivine J♦ — "Just checking in."

05/13 | NETWORK Adeline 4♣ — "Technically, neither, because they're not made of rocks, but clay."

05/13 | NETWORK Penelope 6♦ — "I'm friends with a doctor, if it's what you need."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

June

06/23 | GAME EVENT Dan Heng 7♠ — "It's nice, then, to see one of the guests living the best of their lives: a long, powerful dragon dancing and twisting through the air above the waves."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

July

07/09 | NETWORK Nei 2♥ — "I feel like if I were in your shoes, I'd just get myself stressed out trying to match person to request."

07/15 | OPEN LOG Baizhu Q♠ — "Would you tell me your partner's name? If I don't know them, it will be as simple as asking the hotel staff..."

07/16 | TDM Sylvain 4♦ — "And then there's a groan, an all-too-familiar voice sighing in content as its owner sinks into the water, and Kaveh freezes." "

07/23 | TFLN Dan Heng 7♠ — "I have a feeling you sent this to the wrong person."

07/23 | TFLN — "If I wanna spend the whole night tied up and getting railed I'm allowed to do so..." and more

08/06 | WELCOME EVENT — "Seriously, have you seen that ass?"

08/07 | WELCOME EVENT Sylvain 4♦ — "alcazarzaray has bid 1200 chips."

08/07 | WELCOME EVENT John Doe 4♦ — "alcazarzaray has bid 100 chips."

08/11 | NETWORK Peter — "Maybe this is rude of me, but you don't seem particularly happy about it being your birthday..."

08/17 | INBOX Lan Wangji — "I'm sending you a message at the instruction of my watch - apparently, you won the bid for me."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

October

🔞 10/21 | GAME EVENT Sylvain 4♦ — "He's still a little nervous when he opens the door of his relatively new Queen suite, although it's an anxiety that dissipates immediately when he sees who's standing there—"

🔞 10/22 | GAME EVENT Kleken 8♥ — "Though the smile fades slightly, giving way to widened eyes, at the veritable spread of tentacles behind him."

10/25 | GAME EVENT Cale 6♠ — "You look like you're having an awful time. Do you want to come inside?"

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

November

11/19 | TDM Arthur 3♣ — "Kaveh is offering art pieces—sketches or paintings (and yes, he'll frame and wrap, if they're meant as a gift!)—or, for those wanting to make a later appointment, room design and remodeling, or even fashion design."

11/19 | TDM Flins 3♥ — "Being from a region made up of jungle and desert, snow is something Kaveh is entirely unaccustomed to experiencing."

🔞 11/19 | TDM Dan Heng 7♠ — "The fact that he's able to avoid the boulder is a relief."

11/19 | TDM Alhaitham 4♣ — "And it might be good that he's stuck in place, because if he weren't, he might do something stupid like hug him, and based on the way Alhaitham talks, it's... probably for the best that he doesn't."

11/19 | TDM Quincy 3♦ — "He's more than grateful, then, for the tall man waving at him to get his attention, nodding at the instruction before following him down under the overhang."

🔞 11/19 | TDM Cale 6♠ — "At first, he thinks that plates have made them switch positions in the room. Their height difference isn't that great, and in the immediate wake of the change, he doesn't really feel any different."

11/19 | TDM Caleb 5♣ — "Like Caleb, Kaveh has been visibly drinking, though not to excess just yet—usually with him, though, it's only a matter of time. For now, though, he raises the tankard in a toast."

11/19 | TDM Veritas (?) — "He sighs and strips off the barely-there armor he's wearing, leaving him naked—and cold—as he pads over to the tub and gives the stranger a Look."

11/20 | TDM Tighnari (?) — "Which is why, having just shaken off a clear slime, as his eyes alight on Tighnari trying to do the same to a pair of the creatures, Kaveh's eyes widen, and he rushes forward—"

11/27 | INBOX Olivine K♦ — "I ran into Alhaitham in the dungeon"

11/27 | INBOX Cale 6♠ — "he's back and I kissed him"

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

December

🔞 12/04 | INBOX Alhaitham 4♣ — "A tile caves under his foot, and he feels the rumbling threat shake the room around them, eyes wide as he looks up at Alhaitham."

12/28 | INBOX Cale 6♠ — "He's halfway to a preferred corner when he sees a familiar shock of red hair, and a small smile finds his lips as he raises a hand, voice friendly—but hushed on account of where they are."

January

01/07 | NETWORK Marina 8♣ — "I just typed in the first thing that came to mind, but it might be a mouthful..."

01/07 | NETWORK Vash J♠ — "It seems like a lot of people have offered to help you out, but if you still find yourself in trouble, you can stop by my room."

01/07 | NETWORK Tighnari 9♦ — "how do you always manage to find the CUTEST clothes???"

01/12 | WELCOME EVENT Sampo J♦ — "He's seen the man around the party, although not had the chance to meet him personally as of yet— whether it's his higher card status or just who he is as a person, he seemed to be constantly surrounded by people seeking his attention. Kaveh is far from the type to be easily enamored by status, but it's hard not to be impressed."

01/13 | WELCOME EVENT — "In Sumeru, Kaveh is used to his encounters with people being based almost entirely on alcohol— he gets drunk, and goes home with whichever passably attractive person happens to hit on him first."

🔞 01/13 | WELCOME EVENT Baizhu 5♠ — "The friendship pods seem, compared to many other things in this place, an innocent enough idea."

🔞 01/13 | WELCOME EVENT Weiss 5♠ — "It's with a sigh of frustration that he realizes that the "pod" is little more than a tiny, tiny bedroom with naught but a bed and the pair of them—"

01/13 | WELCOME EVENT — "nce he has a partner with him to play, he reaches for the deck, idly shuffling it before selecting one of the cards."

🔞 01/13 | WELCOME EVENT Childe J♠ — "Looking through the department store at all their toys should probably have been enough, but Kaveh finds himself wandering into some of the vacant intimacy rooms, wondering about their contents, and it isn't long before he finds one packed to the brim with all sorts of sex toys of all kinds."

🔞 01/13 | WELCOME EVENT Alhaitham 4♥ — "Before Kaveh can even finish his sentence, he's pinned back against the door, his ex-roommate's voice against his shoulder as he all but demands pleasure of him, and the blonde's breath catches."

01/13 | INBOX (OPEN SEASON) Furina 3♥ — "well, he's kind of a fan, isn't he? Kaveh loves all things artistic, and Furina is the queen of any stage on which she stands. He saw her perform once, when he was in Fontaine for his mother's wedding, and..."

🔞 01/13 | CATCH-ALL Wriothesley 4♦ — "Is there some reason you're sitting in the lobby staring at a pair of handcuffs like they hold the answers to the meaning of life?"

🔞 01/19 | CATCH-ALL Tighnari 9♦ — "And Kaveh is smart, but sometimes foolish, especially when it comes to helping someone; he's the latter now, rushing forward to try to help without even considering that the discomfort caused by the pollen is likely sexual in nature, like everything in this place."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

February

02/11 | INBOX Alhaitham 4♥ — "Happy birthday. I thought you could use something a little familiar today, so I had a worker help me get what I needed to make your favorite stew."

🔞 02/12 | CATCH-ALL Alhaitham 4♥ — "By the time he makes it back to the baths proper, only to collapse right into one of them regardless of its current occupancy, his clothes are ripped and torn and the swelling of his arousal is prominent."

02/12 | CATCH-ALL — "There are tears welling in his eyes. He squeezes them shut, fingers curling into fists in order to try and keep them at bay. He can cry later, right now he needs to get out of here."

02/12 | CATCH-ALL — "TRADE CLOTHES WITH SOMEONE BLUE IN THE CONFESSIONAL"

02/12 | CATCH-ALL — "Kaveh has learned that the easiest way to find a partner is to talk to the others playing; this time, though, when he approaches, it's with a slight hint of red along his cheeks and embarrassment glinting in his eyes."

02/12 | CATCH-ALL — "Imagine his surprise though when he comes across something a little closer to home, with a stunning two-page spread of a building with which he is all too familiar."

02/12 | CATCH-ALL Rinne 5♠ — "As the night wears on, the architect finds himself approaching the so-called "love tunnel" with an air of curiosity. He's heard whispers of the enclosure all night, but has little idea what it could be even as he steps inside, looking around the near-dark as he tries to get his bearings."

02/12 | CATCH-ALL — "At night, the conservatory has the view he likes the best, a faux-sky full of stars myriad enough that he can't count them, although he wonders if he could, given enough time here."

🔞 02/12 | CATCH-ALL Xie Lian 7♣ — "While it's certainly nice to not be forced day in and day out to deal with an endless stream of clients who believe wholeheartedly that they know his profession better than he does, he does miss working, and it's not as if this place doesn't have its own ways of leaving him as exhausted as his work would— if not more."

🔞 02/13 | CATCH-ALL Marina 8♣ — "it's just Kaveh throwing himself on the nearest blade for someone else's benefit again, that's all. He accepts the cup and takes a small sip of it, enjoying the flavors on his tongue for a few moments as he tries to process if he's feeling any different."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

March

🔞 03/03 | CATCH-ALL Xie Lian 7♣ — "Unlike his companion, Kaveh doesn't immediately notice what seems immediately familiar about the lingerie set he's pointed towards. All he knows is that it's nice. He doesn't wear a lot of teals, favoring reds and golds, but the color is oddly soothing, and the style strikes exactly the right sort of balance between sensual and sexy."

🔞 03/06 | INBOX Alhaitham 4♥ — "He's lost in his own thoughts when the other man suddenly says he'd like to talk, and Kaveh's brain screeches to a halt faster than a sumpter beast drawn by the scent of a sweet flower. Now playing: kavehbrain.mp4."

April

04/10 | INBOX Xie Lian 7♣ — "Were you serious when you said I should meet Hua Cheng?"

04/10 | NETWORK Hua Cheng 6♦ — "I dunno, he told me you built a manor, and you built a temple for him— I'm an architect, so I thought maybe we might have something in common to talk about?"

🔞 04/11 | INBOX Xie Lian 7♣ — "Kaveh opens the door with a small smile, hoping he doesn't look as tired as he feels. He's even put on a little cream to try and cover the dark circles under his eyes, for all the good it's done (not much). He's dressed in similar clothes— black leggings, a long-sleeved white t-shirt— but for lounging around rather than working out. On the table behind him, an opened bottle of red wine, still half filled."

🔞 04/14 | INBOX Alhaitham 4♥ — "Are you free?"

04/14 | INBOX Xie Lian 7♣ — "Everything's okay, it went well."

04/16 | INBOX Tighnari 9♦ — "Things are.. actually really good."

04/22 | CATCH-ALL Kyoko 9♣ — "Kaveh likes flowers a lot. He may not know as much about them as certain others of his friends— after all, one of his closest is a botanical scholar!— but he enjoys looking at them and enjoying the variance of scents he can make out from their different types."

04/22 | CATCH-ALL Topaz 4♥ — "He winces as he feels the pain of a thorn, breaking it off before he puts his now-bleeding finger in his mouth. Luckily, it's not much of an injury."

04/22 | CATCH-ALL Weiss 5♠ — "With another yawn, Kaveh flags the first person he sees, getting back to his feet to walk over to them if necessary. His steps are slow, almost as if he's walking through dreams."

04/22 | CATCH-ALL Six Q♦ — "Being the kind of person he is, Kaveh sets about trying to help the gardeners the moment he knows there's trouble. Admittedly, he doesn't have his eye on a plot of land right now, nor has he even considered the option of adopting one of the rabbits."

04/22 | CATCH-ALL Vil 10♦ — "There's probably a myriad of bugs in his hair and clothes— not something he's entirely happy about, but he'll deal with that later— but his focus right now is on the bunny moving closer to the lettuce bait he's laid out right underneath a box trap."

🔞 04/22 | CATCH-ALL Olivine 3♦ — "...on the third day, he wakes short of breath, and with a full-grown flower emerging from his mouth. Kaveh yanks the flower out all the way down to its roots, vomits a cascade of flower petals into the toilet, and then makes straight for the Broken Wing Clinic in search of help."

04/22 | CATCH-ALL Baizhu 5♠ — "Once Kaveh is feeling better from his own bout of the strange blooming disease going around the resort, he signs up to help as a nurse at the clinic."

04/23 | NETWORK Marina 8♣ — "uh..."

04/25 | NETWORK Kyoko 9♣ — "...and now I'm bulliable too?"

May

05/06 | NETWORK Sherwood J♦ — "You... removed your door? It's not just about security. Privacy is important too, you know."

05/06 | NETWORK Xie Lian 7♣ — "Have I told you much about where I'm from, Xie Lian?"

05/06 | NETWORK Aventurine 6♥ — "I probably don't have a lot of information I can offer that others haven't already, but if you'd ever like help decorating or personalizing your suite, please feel free to get in touch with me. I'd be glad to help out!"

05/06 | NETWORK Nero 2♦ — "I'm not keen on the idea of a 72 hour party myself, and I know people who will be even less so. But I think... just be prepared for negative consequences if you choose not to participate."

05/06 | CATCH-ALL Rinne 5♠ — "It's not like they know each other that well, and Kaveh's memory is poor of that night, but this really doesn't seem like the man he met."

05/08 | INBOX Mona 8♦ — "This isn't the kind of thing Kaveh usually does. So far, his time in the resort has been marked by encounters driven by need of some sort— usually the aphrodisiac kind— or in the very occasional instance, want. Not once has he gone in search of a sexual encounter solely for the purpose of exchanging cards, but..."

05/10 | CATCH-ALL Marina 8♣ — "To his credit, though, he doesn't quite flinch at her skimpy clothing. Instead, he moves to stand up and pull out her chair— only for her to slide right in next to him."

05/26 | CATCH-ALL Midnight 6♠ — "A figure sleeping over a pile of books isn't exactly a strange sight for Kaveh to behold. At the Sumeru Akademiya, at least, such things are common, with overworked students often trying to catch a few minutes of a nap between studying for an exam or drafting a new thesis."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

June

06/02 | CATCH-ALL Childe J♠ — "He nods, and folds his arms protectively over his chest. Like Childe, he's very scantily clad, though in his case it's an outfit courtesy of the house, one that makes it very clear why he's here—"

06/17 | NETWORK — "..a friend asked me to help design a space for them, and it got me thinking that this might be something I'm able to do on a larger scale."

06/22 | INBOX Alhaitham 4♥ — "Could you spare some time to meet me at the Vale?"

🔞 06/23 | CATCH-ALL Alhaitham 4♥ — "With the other asleep, he doesn't push things along too quickly. He wants Alhaitham awake to consent to any real touching, to anything serious. So he continues to trace the lines of his muscles, sighing as his continues to kiss lower, tongue and teeth teasing clavicles and shoulder blades."

^꧁• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •^꧂

July

07/04 | CATCH-ALL Xie Lian 7♣ — "Kaveh does not reach out. He does not send a message. He does not make a call. For three whole days after waking to an empty bed and a too-familiar suite number recorded as reassigned, he locks himself in his room in a haze, crying and sleeping in turns."

07/04 | CATCH-ALL Olivine 6♦ — "So, here he is. Out and about. Perhaps at one of the shops, or sitting at one of the restaurants or cafés. But it's clear to anyone who knows him that something drastic has happened. He's thinner even than normal, and his eyes seem permanently shot with red and heavy-lidded."

07/04 | CATCH-ALL Topaz 4♥ — "For now, at least, he should try to observe what he can... which is how he ends up watching people gambling."

07/04 | CATCH-ALL Kyoko 9♣ — "I was told you could get just about anything here... but I'm not sure I like how it feels."

07/04 | CATCH-ALL — "At some points of the night, he can be found dancing, either on the poles or around them, showing himself off and deliberately seeking to catch the eyes of anyone who looks his way."

07/04 | CATCH-ALL Six Q♦ — "Today, he's spent so much time reading that the artificial daylight all around the resort has faded into something dimmer. He's put on a lantern at his table, but otherwise hasn't really noticed..."

07/04 | CATCH-ALL Weiss Q♠ — "A sound from a nearby stack startles him out of his reverie, and Kaveh looks up, tired crimson eyes at perhaps the most alert they've been since the start of the month as they swing through the darkness, peering into the shadows."

07/04 | CATCH-ALL — "Just as he's unsure as to the reason why he's never actually gone so far as to try smoking before, he's not really sure what changes his mind tonight. Perhaps it's the blissed-out faces in this bar, the way that people seem not to have a single care in the world."

🔞 07/04 | CATCH-ALL Tseng J♦ — "It's felicitous, though, the way his eyes land on a familiar face as they dart over the club's entrance. Allowing himself to be rude toward a staff member for once in possibly the first time ever, Kaveh pretends he doesn't notice their approach, turning his attention to the raven-haired man he's spotted instead."

🔞 07/06 | CATCH-ALL Eiden 2♦ — "Eiden's face is familiar— Kaveh's sure he's seen him around the resort before— but they don't know each other, and right now he thinks that's exactly what he needs. Someone who won't ask questions or try to make him feel better for his loss, or—"

07/07 | OPEN SEASON — "A famed architect who could certainly use a pick-me-up of late."

07/17 | GAME EVENT Eiden 2♦ — "But perhaps none of that matters anyway, not when he rounds a corner and finds one of the strings on his finger leading straight to another face— and one he knows, at that."

07/17 | GAME EVENT Weiss Q♠ — "In spite of everything that happened just a few weeks ago, Kaveh has found himself at the whim of the resort with this strings game, has fallen magically in love with two different people. The whole thing has left him feeling sick and empty, perhaps even moreso than he was when this whole thing started."

07/24 | GAME EVENT Kyoko 9♣ — "He sees her, and before he can even really clock that their thread is shared, he knows. He knows, because he's felt this way for her before, under a spell. "

07/24 | GAME EVENT Kleken 6♥ — "So he turns to leave— only to find the gold string on his finger actually leading to a person rather than around some distant corner. A stranger, and yet... familiar, somehow?"

August

08/04 | INBOX Baizhu 5♠ — "Doctor, it's Kaveh. We had discussed some potential usage for automated machines?"

🔞 08/12 | CATCH-ALL Eiden 2♦ — "Kaveh has just settled down when he realizes he's not alone in this space, and a flustered expression reaches his face even as he manages a smile. Of all the people he could have bumped into out here, this is probably one of the better options, but considering the last time they saw each other, he still finds himself a little awkward."

08/17 | TDM 05 Sylus — "When Kaveh's eyes open, the first thing in his line of sight is shock of silver hair. He smiles, a soft and lazy thing, and stretches, one arm reaching out for a single moment— before clarity hits, and it withdraws as if burned, a stricken look crossing his face. He sits up, and, quickly realizing how naked he is, draws the bedsheets closer to himself."

September

09/08 | CLOSED LOG Sylvain 7♦ — "He's been to the Gilded Cage before, but never quite like this, wearing the skimpiest leather pants he's ever worn in his life. The fact they're laced at either side of his legs and adorned with a zipper that goes from front to back, that's one thing..."

09/08 | CLOSED LOG Basch 7♠ — "...add in the fact that he's not wearing underwear underneath any of it, and the delicate mesh shirt with which the whole ensemble is paired, and he feels positively exposed."

🔞 09/08 | CLOSED LOG Olivine 6♦ — "This is the first time Kaveh has ever done anything like this— the same could be said of many things that have happened tonight, but this part especially is new."

🔞 09/08 | CLOSED LOG Sylvain 7♦ — "The drinks and the refreshments served here have certainly helped speed things along, as has the general mood of the group as a whole, and it's not long at all before he finds himself being locked into a cage, able to see what the others are doing, but attentive to one person only for now."

🔞 09/08 | CLOSED LOG Eiden 2♦ — "As of yet, Kaveh isn't adorned with any of the items in the nearby cabinets. But he's making no secret of the way his eyes are on them, clouded over with lust."

09/08 | CLOSED LOG Eiden 2♦ — "He's splayed out in the water, eyes closed in the most contented, satiated look on his face that he's worn in a long, long time, and he's humming something to himself about how he's going to have the best sleep he's had in weeks."

October

10/02 | CATCH-ALL Eiden 2♦ — "As always, Eiden is smooth, so smooth. He presses in closes as he's led away—so casual, as if it's the easiest thing in the world—and somewhere between the gratitude and the jealousy at the other's ease with people and the undeniable attraction he feels toward such a simple, heroic performance, the other's words start to process through his mind, and Kaveh frowns."

10/02 | CATCH-ALL Basch 7♠ — "The relief upon seeing someone that he knows is palpable. When Basch moves between him and the people staring, Kaveh can't really help the way his fingers curl into the older man's wrists."

10/02 | CATCH-ALL Childe J♠ — "I was ranked at six until... I guess yesterday? I don't know exactly when it switched. But last night I found I couldn't get into my old suite. I didn't do anything special, or make any requests. The resort staff seems to have done this on their own."

10/02 | CATCH-ALL Six Q♦ — "It makes sense, he supposes, that Six would notice him. They've spent their share of time together at this point, but also there's something about the other man that makes Kaveh think that he'd make a good tracker, if he wanted to be."

10/05 | INBOX Hua Cheng 6♦ — "He sees the name in his messages, and somehow he knows before he reads it."

10/13 | INBOX Olivine 6♦ — "I was wondering if you had any free time."

10/13 | INBOX Sylvain 7♦ — "I was thinking about what you said that time before and..."

10/13 | INBOX Eiden 2♦ — "I was wondering if you happened to be free.."

10/13 | INBOX Basch 7♠ — "You've already helped me out a lot these last couple of weeks but... I could use some company. If you don't mind."

December

12/16 | TDM — "the steady beep from his wrist and the shift of terrycloth against his skin are enough to make the situation stranger than normal, and it's for that reason that his crimson eyes blink open, stained with his confusion as he takes in the features of the room around him."

12/16 | TDM Xichen (?) — "The pants themselves are easily found (although in a garish, awful yellow that makes his nose wrinkle in distaste), but it's while he's continuing to look through the shelves that he hears the door slam shut behind him, the sound making him jump."

🔞 12/16 | TDM Kyoko 9♣ — "The main lobby quickly becomes a little too stifling for Kaveh, who withdraws to the bar for a little more peace and quiet. There are still a lot of people, but the place seems cozy enough, and it serves wine, which he's never going to protest."

🔞 12/16 | TDM Sylvain 4♦ — "It's not long before the taste is followed by the sensation of butterflies in his stomach, and Kaveh finds himself looking across the bar at other patrons with a warmth in his heart that causes it to ache. It's been a long time since he felt this way, but..."

12/16 | TDM Tighnari 9♦ — "Kaveh is just looking for some regular clothes. Sex department store or not, he needs something to wear that isn't a robe and a horrid t-shirt, so he finds himself here, browsing through the clothing on offer. He can't find anything in his preferred style, of course, but it's still better than nothing—"

12/16 | TDM — "With a sigh, he looks around the room, hating the way the candle scents tickle under his nose, making him feel uncomfortable and strange."

12/19 | TDM Kaeya (?) — "With all these different cheeses and fruits, I couldn't say no. I should probably try one of the meats as well, make it a proper meal and everything.. But I had to go for my favorites first."

🔞 12/19 | TDM Olivine 3♦ — "I'm sure you're not the first person to have his private thoughts shown here. I know it doesn't make it any easier, but..."

12/19 | TDM Korollan (?) — "Nothing about the situation is exactly ideal, though, and so he leaves his towel wound around his waist Inazuma-style, trying in some small way to preserve whatever modesty he can."

12/20 | TDM Jing Yuan 7♦ — "They roll, and come to a halt in the exact same combination as their teachers' dice did: BITE, and BREAST."

🔞 12/21 | TDM Alhaitham 4♥ — "Let me make one thing perfectly clear, Alhaitham: I am not going to have sex with you. Alright?
