[THINGS HAVE HAPPENED... and here they are. After the NPC shenanigans (and Rang shenanigans tbh), Kaveh departs--though he doesn't go far. Simon can find him just gazing out at the shadowy figures, lost in thought. There's a tiny IKEA pencil and notecard in front of him, with the beginnings of some kind of drawing on it, but he doesn't seem to be actively working on it at the moment.]

[unsweeten]

[ during the time he spent nervously hanging back and listening to everyone else ask the questions he wanted answers for, simon came away with a better impression of kaveh than he did of most of the others. so when he sees him out here by himself afterward, he tentatively wanders over. ]

U-um... hi...

[ohthehumanities]

[SWEET SIMON DOING HIS BEST. Kaveh looks up from where he's sitting, his attention brought back to the present--he smiles politely and nods in greeting.]

Hello. You're a member of the group, aren't you?

[unsweeten]

[ he is... certainly doing something!

he nods back, looking kind of happy to have been recognized as such even though the only other options are literally just reaper referee or shadow person. ]

Yeah! Simon. ...And, uh, that's Money. [ a gesture to the monkey in the party hat who's tagging along behind him. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[LMFSKDJHGK HELP I love you Simon. Kaveh looks a little confused at this monkey even though he lives in the rainforest. It's fine.]

It's nice to meet you two. I'm Kaveh. [A pause, and then he gestures to his toolbox.] And this is Mehrak, though it's not sentient, so you don't have to greet it or anything.

[Mehrak says "beep boop" and makes a sad face.]

week 1, monday

[unsweeten]

[ it's a new week and simon is somehow still alive, so he's checking out the new places with his monkey in tow.

currently, curiosity has managed to drag him to the cathedral, where he's squinting at the pigs hanging out with jesus on the stained glass windows. ]

This is some weird theology...

[ohthehumanities]

[HONESTLY, THAT'S A WHOLEASS MOOD.

Kaveh is here taking photos of all the architecture like architects do. It's all stairwells and windows and pillars and interesting shadow shapes on the walls. I literally googled "architect Instagram" and it's the weirdest shit. Why.]

I've never seen anything like it. We don't have anything like this in Sumeru.

[unsweeten]

O-oh, hi!

[ brightening up a little when he sees who it is!! ]

Um, like the building in general, or the... [ glances at window ] ...pigs?

[ohthehumanities]

Both, really. We have churches and such in Teyvat, but this style isn't common in Sumeru... and I don't know of anywhere that worships... pigs. It seems kind of like a prank, to be honest.

[unsweeten]

Yeah, it kind of does... But it also seems really weird to go to that much effort for a joke? Like, stained glass takes a lot of effort and probably costs kind of a lot, right?

week 1, post-execution

[unsweeten]

[

anyway, simon will be back out and about in a few hours after some much needed recharging time, and will give kaveh a tired wave when he sees him. ]

Hey...

[ given that a big part of the reason simon had approached him to talk the first time was because he'd appreciated him opposing rang's apparent bloodthirst during the npc meeting, he feels like this is maybe kind of a weird day for both of them. ]

[ohthehumanities]

[Recharging time is fair and valid. Kaveh's probably dipping out to get a coffee, but he greets Simon with a tired smile when he sees him.]

Hi. [Looking at him with slight concern--] Did you end up staying?

[unsweeten]

Yeah... I felt like I should, since my vote helped put them there.

It was a lot different from last week.

[ohthehumanities]

[Ah, well. That makes sense, he supposes.]

How so?

[unsweeten]

[ WHAT THE FUCK MY TAG NEVER POSTED i'm blaming 503 errors ]

W-well, I mean, we didn't even know for sure who was gonna be out there this time... and then with both the murderer and the executioner being from the same team...

I figured I knew which one was the killer, but... I was wrong.

week 2, friday

[ohthehumanities]

[Do you think about how nobody ever texts that they were on investigations so we just don't know that our CR got traumatized until later. I do.

Anyway Kaveh is here... he's just sitting outside the library, a notebook at his feet, closed. The vibes radiating off of him are Sad and Guilty, though he isn't crying; he looks up as Simon approaches and nods, but it lacks energy, unsurprisingly.]

[unsweeten]

[ yeah everything sucks!

simon still looks like shit from yesterday, and his expression when he returns from investigation after the announcement looks pretty sad... though emotion-wise, his vibes are... kind of blank, actually? ]

Hey...

[ohthehumanities]

[SIMON WHYMST!!!

At least this is odd enough to catch his attention; his brow furrows.]

Simon... [It feels dumb to ask if everything is okay, but? Hmmm.

Well, actually--] ...have you been like this since yesterday?

[unsweeten]

Like... [ gestures toward his MISSING EYE and everything ] ...this, you mean? Yeah.

[ohthehumanities]

[SIMON YOUR BALLEYE]

Well, yes, that too. But I meant--your emotions.

Week 4, Monday

[ohthehumanities]

[Whenever Simon and Kaveh cross paths, SO WILL A PIG. Amazing. The combined power of a disney princess and an ace attorney animal tamer.

But Simon will see this memory! Obviously not the last bit after he's gone, but. Y'know.]

[unsweeten]

[ oh. foxes... ]

They were cute.

[ohthehumanities]

[Foxes!!!]

Ugh... they followed me around for ages. Though I admit it came in handy when I tried to get them out of there.

[unsweeten]

Where'd you end up taking them?

[ohthehumanities]

Back to Aaru Village. It was outside of the competition area, so they were able to regain their senses there.
