week 0, saturday

[ohthehumanities]

[I will get to my toplevel tags soon but Kaveh is definitely going to make sure Kazuki gets new clothes and will probably buy them for him just so you know

ANYWAY. He will come check on him later!! After they've all somehow managed to sleep, maybe?? Kaveh hasn't but that's because he's just Like This. It's fine. He'll crash later.

For now, he just gives him a once-over.]

Doing alright?

[teenrebellion]

[ bless u kaveh he has fresh clothes now without any bloodstains 🙏 WOW I DIDN'T FINISH READING DON'T BUY THEM FOR HIM HELLO ]

I'm fine now, yeah. Thanks for helping me yesterday. [ glances. ] Are you okay? Did you even sleep?

w0 sunday

[teenrebellion]

[ voids them but he'll find kaveh later because he has a Question ]

What's with you and that Lee guy, anyway?

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh probably stomped off and got himself an angry latte tbh

But he's... calm now. Kind of. Rather, he's back to being focused on the stress of the situation and trying very hard not to fall into despair, but that's close enough to calm. He's resting his head on his hand where he sits, but he looks up at Kazuki's approach. He would've offered a tight smile in greeting, but the mention of Rang makes him scowl.]

I just can't stand people like that. They're infuriating.

week 0, saturday

[ohthehumanities]

[Kaveh is here!! He's just vibing tbh, probably out at the park. He looks tired, but not like he's about to burst into tears or anything, and he nods at Kazuki in acknowledgment.]

Thanks for helping today.

[teenrebellion]

You don't have to thank me for that, man. I didn't actually help that much, anyway.

[ he knows he caused problems with the instrument stuff and he feels bad about it... gomen. ]

I'm sorry about Ku-san... but at least we found the right person.

w1 monday

[teenrebellion]

[ kazuki is checking out the coliseum today in awe and confusion. ]

Those can't be real lions, right? There's no way.

[ohthehumanities]

[That is such a mood. Kaveh is also here, watching with wide eyes.]

Even if they're not, why in the world are people fighting them?

w1 thursday

[teenrebellion]

[ i am assuming kaveh experiences puberty before this. hello. ]

Kaveh-san...

[ kazuki's learned by now that this guy doesn't like people to hover, but he is just a very confused teen and he's FRETTING. everyone probably got healed at least, so. ]

...How are you doing now?

[ohthehumanities]

[LMFSKJDHGK HELP yeah he does, he is an adult and also a human

But yes!! He did get healed--about halfway, because I, Pixi, am a meanie who wants to play with injuries for at least a day. But at least he's capable of walking again, and his shoulder is back in place; his wrist looks better too, though it's bound in a makeshift bandage. Don't ask me what it's makeshifted from. Like a t-shirt or something idk. He's got some shallow injuries too, still, but he doesn't seem bothered by them.

Anyway, it's true that he doesn't like fussing but Kazuki is his son, so this is okay. He answers, with, perhaps, too much honesty:]

Confused, really. I'm sure that I saw Shu, Jonas, and Shenhe die in Liyue, but they're all here.

Week 1, Saturday pre-trial

[ohthehumanities]

[Unless something like super wild happens that would render this impossible

He will come find Kazuki, though!! Where is the boy in the morning...]

[teenrebellion]

[ actually, you guys did miss a body. it's kazuki's. he's been erased.

okay no he's just at a food cart getting coffee because they're about to spend another entire day in a gross fast food joint and he's preemptively sick of it. gonna be another long one, fellas. ]

Morning.

[ he will still be polite, despite watching kaveh like he's expecting more overly blunt thoughts to come tumbling out of his mouth that kazuki doesn't want to hear. are you normal now, sir? ]

week 2, monday

[ohthehumanities]

[laughs

Okay

Well.

He did mean what they spoke about, before trial. He doesn't enjoy all the struggles he's gone through--takes offense, even, at suggestions that hit a little too close to home about the reality of his life. But that doesn't mean he can change on a dime, and it certainly doesn't mean he has control over his own deep-seated emotions.

So whenever they pass each other, Kaveh will greet him with a quick smile--just the same as he would almost any other "normal" day. But as soon as they're in range, poor Kazuki will get hit with an undercurrent of exhaustion, sorrow, worry, and most of all, deep, lingering guilt.

So uh. Have fun with that!]

[teenrebellion]

[ kazuki starts to smile back, offer a polite greeting as usual, but the wave of emotions stops him in his tracks. ]

K-Kaveh...san...

[ what is all this, dude?? ]

w2 friday

[teenrebellion]

[ lmao well today sucks!! so maybe instead of going and bothering kaveh in person when all their feelings are just out there for the whole world... a text will do. ]

We should do something for Buzen-san next week. I don't know what, yet.

[ohthehumanities]

[That is incredibly valid.]

We should.
I've got paint. Only red and yellow, though.

[And not much else to work with, aside from Flower Crowns Forever.]

w2 tuesday

[teenrebellion]

[ as the threat of another rule looms over our heads, kazuki's gonna go and find kaveh and offer a wave in greeting! ]

So, I know we were talking about doing something for Buzen-san, but... should we do something at the cathedral, after all? For all of them.

[ they do still have the other rule to tend to, but even if they didn't, it'd be nice to do something. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[My fear because we didn't get one today

But Kaveh is here!! He's in his new outfit today unless the mods tell me I can't have it and then I will retcon. It's fine.]

That would be nice. [Matsui would like it, at least.] Um, I'm not sure if you saw it, but I built a monument yesterday and put it in the cemetery. It's made of wood, so if you want to paint it or hang things on it or something, you can.

w3 thursday

[teenrebellion]

Did O'Keefe-san make it back okay last night?
We never did find the trap door. It's like it vanished as soon as he fell through.

[ohthehumanities]

Yes, he's alright
He said he ended up in the sewers

[And then he WENT ON CYOA!!!!!!! BINCH]

w3 saturday

[teenrebellion]

[ well that result pissed kazuki right off so he's stormed off almost immediately to go cool his head. later on, he can be found slumped on a bench in the outer park, guitar set on the ground to lean against the bench, unplayed. ]

...I keep wondering where we messed up.

[ they had so much to work with, and still, no answers. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[That's completely fair and valid. Kaveh probably went and had a breakdown somewhere; now, he's just out here clearing his head.]

I know. It felt like we had so much, but nothing at the same time.

[Which seems so impossible. Two cases, and they didn't get anywhere close with either of them.]

I can't help thinking something else was in play. [Something they missed, or didn't have evidence for.]

Week 4, Monday

[ohthehumanities]

[IT IS MEMSHARE WEEK WHICH MEANS MY STARTERS ARE LITERALLY ALL JUST "WE'RE IN A VOID, HERE'S A PIG."

Anyway, Kazuki can have this memory!!]

[teenrebellion]

[ that work ethic is all too familiar, and kazuki thinks for a second that he can understand the sharp, biting words. the instant regret, too - that's another feeling he knows well. the strange thing is... being on the other side of it.

is this how akito and ichika felt? or, for that matter, what about...

...nevermind. kaveh's the one who's here, so kazuki will focus on him. ]

This place... It's pretty invasive, isn't it? [ he does feel bad for seeing the memory, but still. he can't say nothing. ] He said that out of concern, didn't he? He was worried about you.

[ maybe kazuki is reading things wrong. but it feels a little too uncanny not to be similar. ]

Week 4, Thursday

[ohthehumanities]

[YOU ALL REALLY DO THIS TO HIM WHILE HE IS HUNGOVER? YOU KICK DRUNK KAVEH? JAIL! JAIL FOR CYOAERS FOR 1000 YEARS



Okay but really he is here as promised. He's brought a cup of hot chocolate from the cafe for Kazuki!!]

Kazuki?

[teenrebellion]

[ how do you think they feel being hungover on cyoa!! but this is fine. he'll take the cup in his left hand, the other bandaged. ]

Hey, Kaveh-san. Thanks.

[ he still looks a little out of it, but the blood's been cleaned up, at least. ]

Week 4, Friday

[ohthehumanities]

[This thread is going to be 3 tags long because of dw I swear to god

But anyway, Kaveh is... I mean, okay, he's fucking exhausted WE HAVE FOUR DEAD PEOPLE HELPPPPPP. But he mostly just seems tired. Still, he'll come by to check on Kazuki!!]

Kazuki? How are you feeling?

[teenrebellion]

[ whacks dw until it behaaaaaaves

i guess kaveh can find him as he heads back to the warehouses. his clothes are still torn and bloody from the sword and he's moving gingerly, but otherwise seems... okay? though he's not sure how to answer this, exactly. ]

It still doesn't feel real. [ anyway. ] One of the weather factory floors was really dark - more than usual. So your team will be in trouble tomorrow.

...I don't want anything to happen to you guys.

w5, monday

[teenrebellion]

So what do you think about how this place is built, Kaveh-san? It's pretty impressive to have a whole place underground, right?

[ what are the architect's thoughts... ]

I keep wondering how they made a fake sun underground.

[ohthehumanities]

It is! [He's wandering around and taking pictures as they speak!!] I'm interested to know how they're maintaining structural integrity with no way of tapping into the Geo energy.

w5 saturday

[teenrebellion]

I was really hoping they would be wrong. I'm sorry, Kaveh-san.
Are you guys going to be okay?

[ohthehumanities]

Please don't apologize
People were hurt because of us
And Nahida would've hated it if anyone else took the blame

Week 6, Monday

[ohthehumanities]

[At some nebulous point unrelated to Kazuki's mistletoe fiasco, Kazuki can find him out by the frozen lake! He's in his outfit with his makeup done, and he's doing a pretty good job of looking like he didn't get blackout drunk yesterday? Wow. The power of nice eyeshadow.

Actually, though--he seems... okay. Not good, exactly, but--relatively at peace, all things considered. He doesn't look like he's about to go slam his boot through the ice, so that's probably a good sign? He even has a small smile for Kazuki, though he's still clearly tired.

He nods towards the lake.]

That's skating, isn't it? I've heard about it.

[teenrebellion]

[ kaveh always looks fabulous so somehow kazuki doesn't suspect a thing. like... he can guess, but man how do you look so good.

mistletoe incident aside, he actually looks pretty happy to be here! the north pole isn't so bad. ]

Yeah. You've never tried? It's kind of fun, once you figure out how to balance on the blades.

You should give it a shot, man.

Week 6, Saturday

[ohthehumanities]

[HELLO SWEET KAZUKI Kaveh is here. He's just taking a walk outside, but he'll stop and nod at Kazuki, tired.]

...Alright? [Whatever that means, here.]

[teenrebellion]

...Tired.

[ emotionally and physically, as he clutches a travel cup of tea. his voice still hurts, so he'll shift the cup to one hand so he can type on the hone instead. ]

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow. Or next week, for that matter.

Week 7, Monday

[ohthehumanities]

[Here they are after the Thing!!! Kazuki can pick up on some of Kaveh's emotions; though the old ones are still present if he really concentrates, right now they're very much overshadowed by a confusing mix of happiness and worry.]

I really hope they'll be alright.

[teenrebellion]

[ there are similar thoughts from kazuki's direction. ]

They've all said that they will be. I want to believe them.

...It's still a little hard to believe that we could talk to them at all, though.

w7 saturday

[teenrebellion]

I heard that they cheated us out of free alcohol.

[ why does it still cost money!! ]

...But at least we get to go home soon.

[ohthehumanities]

[(Kaveh meme voice) Is this CAPITALISM

But actually, Kaveh didn't linger at the party for all that long. He probably had a drink, maybe two at the most, but he is unfortunately not in the partying mood.

Though, actually, as Kazuki says that--]

Is it safe for you to go home?
