The ability to appreciate beauty is an important virtue.
[ eiden is vibing somewhere in the food court or at a mcdonalds pick ur poison, with some receipt paper stretched out just doodling with a pilfered ikea pencil. topper is currently curled up snoozing.
he does wave a little when kaveh wanders by. ]
Hey there. Penny for your thoughts?

[NOOOO TOPPER IS SO CUTE I can't believe Kaveh's gonna think it's just a regular Weasel
Kaveh comes over when he's waved at, nodding in greeting. He smiles, but it doesn't do a great job of hiding his exhaustion.]
Just... trying to make sense of all of this, I suppose.

[Okay, well. Kaveh's calmed down a little after nearly getting in a fistfight with Rang out of Emotions; he's sitting at McDonald's with a half-finished latte, drawing something on a little IKEA notecard. He looks up when he sees Eiden and stops doodling, though he doesn't try to hide the picture; if Eiden looks, he'll see it's some kind of building, which probably isn't surprising. He gives Eiden a smile in greeting, though it's a touch stiff.]
Doing alright?
Doing alright?
[ eiden's walking by with a little mug and some receipt paper, a new ikea pencil in his mouth when he hears him and turns his head.
pencil in mouth: ]
Uh! Kafeh!
[ gently, he sets down his coffee and takes the pencil out ] Can I join you, actually...? I really need a sit down after all that.

[WAOW
Kaveh is here in his new fit!! He looks like he finally got some rest, thank god. Thank Nahida. Whatever.
He perks up when he sees Eiden, waving a little.]
A new space opened up, did you see? I think it might be some kind of studio.

[ his new fit is super cute. we love it, we stan it. eiden also loves it, why is kaveh so pretty? this place is full of hot people, maybe it's heaven? he waves back with a big smile. ]
Yeah! I passed by it when I went to go get coffee, but didn't get to go in, yet. [ he perks up a little, and topper pokes his head up from his jacket. ] Wanna have a look? Maybe we could take some pictures while we're there.

[Hello favorite person besides Nahida
Kaveh is here!! He's vibin. He left McDonald's pretty quickly, but he didn't go very far; he's just taking a walk. He gives Eiden a small smile when he spots him.]
...Thanks for helping today.

[Okay like
Honestly what else is there to say as they head out besides--]
That was not what I expected.

[ good morning kaveh. eiden is sitting in the history museum just basking in the fact that it's like. that good museum aesthetic. you know the one, quiet, a little chilly, surrounded by old things, but... calm. which is the important thing after this weekend. he's dressed in his ikea fit and holding onto a cup of coffee with both hands.
when he hears the echoing of footsteps, he turns with a small smile. ]
Morning!

Morning!
[A CUTE IKEA FIT hilariously I almost went with this last week, they would've been matchies. Alas.
Anyway, Kaveh is here because he's curious and also a nerd!! But he smiles awkwardly when he sees Eiden, for. Probably obvious reasons.]
Morning--I'm sorry about yesterday, I don't know what happened. [Like, he didn't do anything terribly embarrassing? But also. Still embarrassing.]

[ well, eiden is out here looking for kaveh with topper is scarfed around his shoulders. he's just got his hands shoved in his jacket pockets as he resolves to try and see how he's doing.
technically he should be in his warehouse resting but like—????????? we have healers what a luxury. ]

[Well, the good news is that he's conscious, an adult, and at least somewhat healed!! About 50%, which means the gash on his head and his back are gone, his legs are no longer burnt and frostbitten, and his shoulder and wrist are in okay condition; his shoulder is back in place, and his wrist is probably bound with some kind of makeshift bandage or something. It's fine. Is this because I wanted to play with injuries? Maybe so.
ANYWAY the point is that he's out and he's mostly okay to be walking around, probably!! He looks understandably tired, but. That's okay. He can't quite wave comfortably when he sees Eiden, but he does nod at him!!]

[ everything sucks, no part of that trial made sense, and now he still has tummy hurty curse disease so he's just slumped against a tree in the large park grumpily drawing. topper is stretched out by his foot, but perks up when he sees kaveh and squeaks out a greeting.
when he hears that, he looks up and gives a quick nod. ]
Hey...
when he hears that, he looks up and gives a quick nod. ]
Hey...
[EVERYTHING SUCKS!!! Eiden is such a mood. Kaveh unfortunately can't help him with being a tummyache survivor, but he can come stew in misery with him--it's basically what he's going to do as soon as he spots Eiden, actually, just move to sit next to him.]
Hi. [Life is terrible. Hello Topper you're the only valid thing here.] What are you working on?
Hi. [Life is terrible. Hello Topper you're the only valid thing here.] What are you working on?
[ hello eiden is here at the salon today looking at some nail polish colors with a very serious look on his face. ]
Hmm... I mean I guess I can always take it off if I don't like it, but what color to even start with first...
[ looking up to see kaveh, he thumbs back at the wall of colors! there are so many here? right now eiden is like vibing gently at a lulling frequency of just. sheer friendship. he's relaxed seeing kaveh. ]
I'm totally overwhelmed, wanna help me?

[POOR EIDEN... I am sorry to subject him to this.
Kaveh would not subject him to this either, if he had a choice--but unfortunately, the salon is too small to really keep his distance from properly. So as soon as they're within range, Eiden will probably be able to pick up on an undercurrent of exhaustion, sorrow, worry, and most of all, old, deep guilt. There's a pulse of happiness when Eiden calls out to him, but it's overshadowed by the shame and embarrassment that follow, knowing he's subjecting someone he likes to... all of. This.
...But hey, at least he looks cute! He's in his new outfit with his hair pinned up in a bun and his nails painted, with one of them in a flower design instead of feathers. Waow.
For his part, he tries, at least, to act like normal; he greets Eiden with a smile and a wave like he would on any normal day.]
Sure, I can give it a try. I'm not particularly well-versed in nail art, but we can come up with a decent palette, I'm sure.

[ we are vibing somewhere here on this the day of curfew. eiden will go looking for dear kaveh sometime in the very early afternoon, using a pair of roller skates that he's borrowing from the skatepark to kind of zoom about! scarfed around his neck is topper, who squeaks out a little greeting when kaveh is in sight! eiden, of course, joins in. ]
Hey there.
[ so: where he be? ]
Hey there.
[ so: where he be? ]
[CURFEW DAAAY... cyoa day... beeguns at everyone suspiciously.
But Kaveh is here in the neighborhood! He's sitting outside the library, studying the drawing that Mehrak is projecting. It still mostly looks like lines and boxes, but it's probably more recognizable as a map now. There's a noticeable buzz of anxiety coming off of him, even though he looks focused--it fades a little, temporarily overshadowed by happiness and, more prominently, relief at seeing Eiden. He waves back!]
Good, you're still here. [CYOA DAY... will it happen again... he doesn't know but he's PARANOID]

[THEY ARE AT THE MUSEUM!!! Maybe Kaveh is here looking for sword things like a SAD GUILTY PERSON... but he will come over when he spots Eiden.]
...I can't believe it. [Quietly.]
...I can't believe it. [Quietly.]
[ surprise they're both looking at sword things now. eiden has a sketchbook at his feet and currently, there are pictures of the gou swords just kind of all over the page. the pencil is like a tiny baby stub at this point that he's turning around in his fingers. he makes room for him so they can sit together. ]
Yeah. I can't... it's...
[ he shakes his head. ]
The cathedral... [ his brow furrows deeply. ]

[ we're out here in the park. artin'. straight up.
depression art.
eiden is just curled up by a tree with his sketchbook balanced on his knees and he's invited kaveh out here because like. man what a miserable trial. so he's out here by a large tree in the outer park where there are a couple of small prismatic blobs of light kind of hovering in the space around him, providing some illumination so he doesn't kill his eyes while working... topper is curled around his feet, sleepily nibbling on his shoe lace.
when he sees kaveh, though, he gives him a smile, as best he can. ]
Hey, you... come here...
[ patting space beside him in the soft grass. ]

[Depression art is such a vibe.
Kaveh has his notebook tucked under his arm. His vibes are... well. Not great, because when are they ever, but they're mostly just tired and resigned right now.
Victory feels so hollow.
He returns Eiden's smile, though it's fleeting, and just as weak in return. He comes over to sit and puts his notebook down, leaning over to look.]
Any luck? [It's truly such a toss-up, whether emotions can make or destroy your art. Kaveh knows that so well.]

[Oh a cute picture!!
Kaveh's... well, still kind of recovering from the weekend, but who isn't. And if he's good at anything, it's glueing himself back together after devastating loss, so.]
Sure, okay
I like pastries
[There are a couple happy emojis here but I'm too lazy to paste them]

[Well. He'll give it some time. But eventually:]
Eiden?
I won't stay long
But I brought you a drink

[Okay well
Of course as soon as he's able he's immediately going to come for Eiden
WHERE IS HE, IS HE STILL SADLY IN THE EXECUTION ROOM did he nyoom off immediately after]

[After the weekend, Kaveh is going to do his best to come find Eiden to spend time with him!!! He is not a cute snake, but he will do his best to keep him company and cheer him up.
Except then there is PIG and Eiden gets to have this memory.]
Except then there is PIG and Eiden gets to have this memory.]
[ you know, eiden was really trying to start the week out right and the minute he sees kaveh, he really does think that hey! this week is gonna be great!
except they get equal amounts of pig'd. the memory that slams into eiden's mind is something that he didn't quite expect, but that picks up on a chat he and kaveh had a while ago. he remembers the name, sachin. eiden is no philosopher, he's no scholar, but he can follow the line of thinking, and there's a faint smile that curls at the corner of his mouth. ]
Hah. Three times... he's a weird guy.
[ there's something that's almost apologetic for seeing something that feels... kind of personal. a conversation of varying ideologies somehow still coming together, not in a sense of clashing, but in a sense of sharing, even if there is no agreement. ]
But it sounds like you two have an understanding of each other... he... it sounds like he did a bit of digging for you, huh.
[ just a hunch. the mention of kaveh's father, the somber turn. ]

[ THIS PLACE IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! eiden is just sitting by the stupid rainbow pool watching pigs in depression and just hunched over with something black wrapped around him. when he sees kaveh, he'll give a small wave though. ]
Hey... Kaveh.
Hey... Kaveh.
Edited 2023-07-15 12:55 (UTC)
[LITERALLY POOR HOT MESS HAS BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH. HATEFUL.
He will return his wave and then come and sit next to him.]
I think we should remove the question "how are you doing?" from language entirely, at this point.

[ well, after that particular shit show of a week, eiden is going to find kaveh first thing wherever he might be. maybe combing through the new offerings for clothing this week. somewhere between the racks, he will just pop his head up over an opposing one, revealing fluffy white hair. ]
Morning! Find anything decent?
Morning! Find anything decent?
[Truly they are giving these poor souls a break by allowing them to be confident this week.]
Hmm, they're not really my style... [But, oh!! He perks up.] You colored your hair!

No, it was mostly just disgusting
A lot of slugs and pie... and we had to fetch Shu from the lake
What about you? Are you alright?

I'm coming
[It's a quick response!! He will always open the door for Eiden. He's gotten cleaned up and changed, and he greets Eiden with a tired smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. He's still wearing his necklace.]
...It hasn't reset yet.

[They are out and about in the void today. Kaveh looks tired and a little sad, of course, but--well. By this point, it's hard to be shocked, isn't it? Especially after what they went through yesterday.
He smiles a little, though it doesn't reach his eyes, and covers Eiden's hand with his own.]
Yeah. I'm glad you're safe.
[NO MORE BUTTON...]

[BRITT IS OUT HERE DOING HER LITTLE DEMON BRITT CRIMES.
There's a long delay, but he does eventually reply.]
Okay
I'm coming
[When he comes out, his eyes are very red; he's trying to wipe at them, but it's not very effective when he's still crying.]

[ i personally feel like it's week 234872348 but anyways.
eiden is here and dressed up! currently he's petting one of the reindeer and feeding them whatever reindeer eat. maybe some tasty oats, while just petting one on the snoot. topper is here too just rolling in some of the hay, but squeaks when he sees kaveh like a little "hello!" ]
Hey. Just the person I wanted to see today.

[WHAT A DANG MOOD.
Kaveh's also dressed up--you saw it already so waves hand. He looks... well. Better isn't quite the word for it, but something along those lines. Something close to being at peace, as much as is possible for what happened yesterday.]
I was looking for you too, actually. [Aww, Topper; he smiles and crouches down, holding out his hands for Topper.] I like your outfit--you and Mehrak would match.

[Shortly before curfew, Kaveh will come check on him!! Even though he seemed more or less okay, Kaveh is truly so paranoid about not seeing people on Thursdays. He'll text Eiden to let him know he's coming over, and when he arrives, he passes him a hot chocolate with a candy cane in it.]
Here--I thought it might help.
Here--I thought it might help.
[ everything is fiiiiiiine. ish. he's just chilling (haha) for a bit, curled up under an overhand and watching the snow. when kaveh hands him the drink though, patting the seat beside him. ]
Thank you... I'm doing a lot better than that last one, so. Please don't be worried, okay?

[COOKIES IN THE PARK........ anyway I can't believe my asw is doing double-time although maybe slightly less so given that kyoko did a murder. He still feels bad, though.
He'll come sit next to Eiden.]
I wish we'd found more. [He really means that.]
