    Summary

    "Acting Grand Master," Lawrence says, "we have another noise complaint."

    Kaeya leans against the doorway, watching as Lawrence places at report atop Jean's desk. Sighing, Jean tiredly rubs at her brow, before offering a curt nod.

    "Thank you," she says. "I will deal with the complaint shortly."

    Pushing off the doorway, Kaeya saunters past Lawrence, picking the report up, and casually flipping through it. Jean shoots him a stern look, but does not tell him to put it back down.

    "It's from one of the sisters," Kaeya observes, and reads aloud. "Perpetrator scaled statue outside church while drunk and sang loudly for three hours."

    Lawrence lets out a delicate cough.

     

    As Weinlesefest draws near, Kaeya notices a new mystery in the city of wind and wine — Jean and Diluc have been oddly permissive with Venti since the Stormterror Incident. Mischievously determined to get to the bottom of this, Kaeya soon makes a discovery that threatens to upend everything he knows. In the process, he must reconcile what it means to be Khaenri'ahn, and to love a city that belongs to a god.

    Summary

    When Kaveh, a broke architect, moves to a new city with the hope of a fresh start he finds himself incredibly... lonely. A flyer in the small corner grocery store catches his attention one evening, seeming to call out to him in all of his pathetic glory.

    He calls the number, hoping for some companionship, even if he has to pay for it. They send him a survey to fill out and apparently drinking a bottle of wine before filling something out can seriously decrease a person's reading comprehension level and their ability to retain the information they consumed... who would have thought.

    The one where Kaveh calls a companionship service hoping for some platonic company and gets a whole lot more than he bargained for. (No one is complaining)

    Summary

    “When Ivan was younger, he rarely smiled around the aliens. He didn’t see much of a point in doing so- they would just ask him to sing and they would clap and laugh and jeer and he would be miserable. He knew he had to at least play along- he had been sold off to the highest bidder, of course, so they would not take kindly to their money being wasted. He thought of the bright-eyed boy behind the glass, the stickers saying ‘50% OFF’ and ‘DISCOUNT’ acting as scars marring the otherwise decent sight. Ivan remembered how the boy had clamored to get closer to him, crashing into the glass, and all he could muster was a blank stare at him. The other boy clearly didn’t understand the real world, their world, but Ivan did all too well.

    When he later met the boy again, he was distinctly reminded of that moment.”

    Or, a character study of Ivan, sparing none of the gorey details.

    Summary

    “Ah, because you’ve had so many kinky escapades,” Kaveh laughs, drawing a snicker from Cyno next to him.

    What he doesn’t expect, is for Alhaitham to play along.

    “Exactly, I would know,”

    The three pause for a moment, before they explode in laughter.

    [A heavy, weary sigh.]
    "Lovely. Now, I truly must be going as—"
