Whatever it is Marina asked of you: Don't.

eeeeeeeh?
she asks me to do a lot of stuff
do i just gotta drop all of it?

[he can see the other post, he does know, he's just being annoying]

action ; backdated to mid-June

[pyrolyzed]

[ It's some ungodly hour like 3AM that Aak might be woken by a racket going on right outside his room -- kicks and bangs rattling his door in its frame, accompanied by the shouting of a probably-very-familiar, scratchy voice, not unlike an insufferable little yippy dog barking to be let in: ]

Open up, you asshole! We gotta talk!

[ Another hard kick at the door ... followed by a little grunt and a stifled groan, because he totally hit his toe the wrong way, and now it's smarting pretty good. But even the throbbing ache in his foot isn't quite enough to squelch how pissed off he is in the moment, and Fuuta goes right back to whacking a fist on Aak's door, pressing close against its surface for a moment for maximum volume delivery as he shouts, ]

Open up right now!

[malpwactice]

[Aak's sleep schedule is a wild and varied thing. If Fuuta were particularly unlucky he would have picked an ungodly hour where Aak was off shoveling cereal into his mouth. Thankfully, for all the bad luck the older boy's experiencing, he has at least picked a time where Aak was there. He picks his head up from watching some crummy movie on his Watch. The banging on the door makes his heart rate pick up but then Fuuta's yippy voice comes through.]

[Whew, that's better!]

[Aak hops off the bed and over to the door, kicking aside a t-shirt that still bears twin stains on the chest. He pauses on the other side of the door, taking a moment to smooth out his hair and make sure he looks annoyingly put-together even for being in his sleeping clothes. Only then does he open the door.]

Hey, hey, do you want to wake up the whole hallway? It's disrespectful!

[Says the Feline who hasn't respected the hallway in his life. If Fuuta was paying attention on the way up he'd have noticed that the carpet in front of Aak's door has an obvious outline of some kind of strange stain. The only reason he can't see it continuing into Aak's room is because he's covered it with a rug and several discarded shirts.]

I have a favor to ask.

[malpwactice]

oh? finally commissioning me for that flavor neutralizer? or did you change your mind about the trial lube #1? or is there a dead body?

@edelstein | INCOMING MULTI-MEDIA MESSAGE

[erbe]

YOU'VE BEEN INVITED
This is a formal invitation from Tohsaka Rin. This invitation is extended to you for an early dinner on December 25th at Tohsaka's Rank 9 suite. You will not be expected to provide anything or required to adhere to a certain dress code. You are, however, welcome to bring along a +1 to accompany you as the host will need to split her time between the guests.

(ooc: If you're interested in a quick action spam/dialogue party scene feel free to →head this way! This was a spur-of-the-moment thing, so please do not feel obligated if you are busy with other obligations/are on hiatus. I thank each and every one of you for your time and patience with Rin during her stay at GP! I hope all of you have a wonderful time as this year comes to a close.)

[Previously...]

Actually, speaking about "being on your side," I think I should let you know something.

[malpwactice]

aw man who do we gotta kill

breaks from captcha

[riskybeenus]

[ooc: Continued from here]

Kyaha~ Guess you got a good point about that. There's no real winnin' or losin' even if ya give it to someone else first.

[He won't deny that, despite being the one who had probably been telling people he won't do it. He can imagine himself saying it, has an inkling to why, and he grins even as he surveys his choices. Easy route means risking getting hit point blank, a more roundabout way and he risks being caught by surprise too. If he stops talking Aak would be suspicious, so he needs to at least give it a point where he won't question why Rinne falls silent.]

Never met anyone who valued their first time before me then? I must be special if it's got ya worked up so much.

we are free

[malpwactice]

[That laugh is irritating. It's irritating because he missed it. It's irritating that he bothered to miss someone and can't even try to play it as a mutual embarrassment. He didn't know Rinne well enough to know what's happening behind those laughs,]

[and what's the point of trying to know now?]

[Aak is easily strung along by Rinne's questions, keeping him talking.]

In a place like this? It's super weirdo behavior. [The longer a first time was kept the worse it would feel losing it eventually.]

As weird as tryin' to stop other people from sleeping together or needin' to know who's all fuckin'.

[ in a way, aak is like his other doctor. it'd be strange to not update him just in case he came knocking and found leona's former room completely empty.

and maybe he'd also feel guilty...... ]

hey.
they moved where i'm staying

[malpwactice]

[Doctor, booty call, friend, underling, there are many definitions they can put to this relationship.]

yea? up or down big guy?

UN: Fox, Yusuke fulfilling his dare!

[artcritic]

Please bear with this, it wasn't my idea.

[It's the only warning before he gets a picture of Yusuke... naked. Picture taken through a mirror, and the only proof it's him is the room and stacks of paintings behind him (he left out his head from the picture).

It's... it CAN be considered artistic. He tried his best. He's NEVER sent unsolicited dick pic to anyone, he's too polite.]

Please delete after.

[malpwactice]

[Aak is starting to expect most contact in the next few days is gonna be something dare-initiated but the fact he has to preface it with "it wasn't my idea"... Stereotypical but classic.]

[He is a bit surprised to see the picture, though, especially with Yusuke's choice to self-decapitate in the shot. A good instinct for a private person but everything else is sure on display! Although while it's artistic he thinks it's a shame the guy won't go for erotic... is this like what figure drawing is like?]

i'll definitely delete it

Knock knock ♡

Is there a clever hopeless romantic type O seedy-apothecary-cum-bodyguard at home?

- A tragic and seductively innocent succubus who keeps accidentally draining her poor husband (or something like that)

[malpwactice]

[As Aak glances at the text, the agreed-upon game comes back into his mind. It's been a while since he went to the Smoked Egg's smoke-filled rooms with people peddling drugs that were contraband even for the outrageous resort. Yea, sure, still sounds fun.]

[(he also chuckles at "cum" because he's not a mature individual)]

somethin like that
you been leaving a trail of limp dicked dudes in your wake?

TDM 011 | Action (1/2)

[edelstein]

(Reference)

[The first day is a long one. While her tent may be decent, Rin spends most her day outside of it to get the "lay of the land". Another frustrating overhaul for the resort, it seems. Taking away the precious statues of her closest people from home and all her supplies. Just another reason to keep her overly paranoid and cautious about this place. Which is exactly why she spends so long away from her "home base" to see how the place has altered and shifted once more.

Returning from a brief river wash, Rin tucks into her tent, and—]

[edelstein]

[There may not be any Goldilocks, but there's certainly someone "in her bed". The intruding lump is familiar, and her expression drops some.]

I see that knocking isn't required for this set up. I'll have to change that.

text/action, sep 2025 tdm

[notscar]

[ it never hurts to be a high rank, especially when the house is happy to give out the most extravagant and luxurious lodgings to those who are fortunate enough to hold a royal suit. having the opportunity to have the option to share that wealth is a luxury by itself. so of course, when he has the chance to pick someone... ]

you going crazy yet?

[ if anyone knows about what aak does in bed that doesn't include spontaneous physicals or requests to try some kind of funny looking pill or syrup, it's leona. with the watches heavily restricted in what they can do, clearly someone has an idea of what the funny little cat boy might be going through. ]

i think i have something that might interest you.

[malpwactice]

[The ping of the Watch notification itself makes him jump a bit. Lots of people were just going with the flow of the whole stupid camping trip and going "back to nature" or some shit. So, the answer to Leona's question is completely obvious.]

some of us like the tech heavy life you know
not to bash on the beauty of the wild or whatever junk they're selling

[but, despite the fact he's a little grumpy, he's soothed by the promise of a thing]

what did they drop in your lap big guy?
something fun?

In Person

[broca]

[ Knock knock, Aak. Open up. You have been given whatever amount of time it took Broca to walk down the stairs from the seventh floor to the third to clean up. ]

[malpwactice]

[He walked right into this topic, so now he had to deal with it, huh. He hasn't been able to spare too much time to consider what he really wanted to say.]

["Sorry, I sort of thought you'd turn to stone before I had to explain it!"]

[Nope, that's perhaps a worse angle than just telling Broca to tell everyone back home he was dead. He's used to thinking quickly and committing. When he does that, though, it's not like he commits to the right thing. He's approaching this a lot more wobbly with the hope that maybe, just maybe, a good solution will make itself known.]

[There's a knock at the door and Aak opens it. Broca can see that the room is still a mess but he's cleared off his bed entirely. He hasn't made it or anything. Still, all non-bedsheets material has been either placed neatly on a counter or shoved off onto the floor.]

... Hey. C'mon in.

[Aak doesn't have his usual devil-may-care expression. Tragically, he does care. It'd be way easier if he cared less about some piece of this puzzle.]

Mind giving me a pinch of your fur?

You can count it as my present for yule ♡

[malpwactice]

[terrifying things to get randomly asked]

pretty cheap present
what do you want it for anyways? you're not gonna make like a cursed doll or anything right

Delivery

[lieabilities]

[ A neatly wrapped and slightly slimy box left on Aak's door contains a friendly little guy in orange and a note. ]

For the holiday.

- Kleken

[ Also an order of octopus sashimi. ]

[ Hopefully he finds the gift sooner rather than later. ]

ACTION | Christmas Eve Date Night

[edelstein]

[Rin didn't feel up to another party, so instead she wrangled her two most enthusiastic boys for a quiet night together. In her suite because it's the coziest, and the dinner isn't exactly traditional, but she made sure to whip up a homemade Christmas Cake for them to dig into.]

Would either of you like to make the first cut?

[The lighting in her Rank 9 suite is dim, moody, and foster a sense of an old house being candlelit and encouraging them all to stay snuggled close.]

[malpwactice]

[Another Christmas in this place, huh? More than any significance in the day it's a reminder of all the time that's passed since he was first dumped into a bed here and left to fend for himself. Two whole years of being away from home-]

[-or figuring out where home was going to be, he guesses.]

[Genya being invited too makes him wonder. While they were close, they hadn't really ever talked about the future. So much of it was just as long as they were here. It'd be nice, he thinks, if they all ended up making a mess in Rin's big, roomy place. He doesn't wanna have to learn how to do laundry, after all. If he asks, though, it might dump ice water all over the cozy gathering. Rin's already been sulking for too long, over too many things, for Aak to add another to the pile.]

You know me, I'm great at cuttin' stuff. I could dissect the whole thing if you want!

[He reaches out a furry little hand for the knife. He's half-expecting it to get batted away but that's part of the joy of saying stupid things.]

( 12/25 ) — special delivery

[keita]

[ Sometime early on Christmas morning, a package will be delivered directly into Aak's hands by a helpful and particularly industrious resort staff member. The box is wrapped in white paper and tied with black ribbon, and there's a card atop it, settled underneath the bow.

Inside, Aak will find a collection of bottles, each containing some Surprisingly Useful Ingredient for his various experiments and tests. Some of them are things Aak might already have but is running low on; others may be more difficult to find. Truthfully Keita doesn't know what many of them are, he relied heavily on his clairvoyance for this one, but it was important to him that the gift be something Aak could put to good use.

Also inside the box is one (1) cucumber, for no particular reason, ha ha.

The card reads, ]

I'm still not entirely sure that I understand the specifics of what you do, but I'm told that some of these may be useful to you, and I hope that turns out to be the truth.

I'm glad to have gotten to know you better this year, and I hope we can do more of the same in the year to come.

Happy Christmas, Aak.

Keita

[malpwactice]

[For a while, there is silence. A message appears on Keita's watch a few days later:]

heyyy you've got some good taste!
who went and told you about this stuff? was it the uncle at DP? ["aak stop calling the dizzy pigeon that" challenge... technically in 2025 so he hasn't lost it for 2026 yet]

whoever you asked you know you should come to me with any requests right?
i know you'll ask for fun stuff that won't waste my time
