    Summary

    Aleksandr was predictable. He spent his time quietly. The same every day, precisely as he liked it. Rising before the sun, listening to the stillness of the morning, and settling in to his desk with poor posture and bitter coffee, typing away. Each morning a gentle calling, a cat mewling for food, a pinging email waiting to be responded to, a dark living room where no one was really living. Each evening was a thrumming sameness. A short bus ride into town, meaningless errands completed without a single thought, a sigh slumped over at a bar counter, staring listlessly into a dripping glass. Silence suited him, repetitiveness worn like an ill-fitting coat he couldn't bear to toss out. Aleksandr was alone, precisely as he liked it. He did like it, didn't he?

    Not many people seemed to come into his life out of nowhere anymore. No one new trying to be friends, no one curious trying to find love. It was like the world around him could sense he had long ago stopped trying to be interesting, and interested in anyone else. Save for a few regular faces at a few regular places, it was a solitary existence for almost a decade. Until that loud, strange man with wild hair.

    All of it was a blur, until Davit.

    You also have a man sending you letters.
    You don't know what to do with that either.

    Summary

    “Yeah, well,” he looks at an old clock behind Wireface. It’s getting late, and he’d like to sleep before he has to guard the door at night. “You’re free to stay here, if you want. Or not. You don’t know what I’m saying, anyways.”

    Wireface nods as if he has any fucking clue what’s going on. It’s cute, in a funny way. “Okay. I’m leaving.” He shortly waves, forcing his gaze off the man and feeling like his feet are made up of ten tons of concrete as he opens the door to go.

    “Bahbye!” he hears behind him.

    Summary

    You don't like talking to people. You don't like how they look at you like you did something wrong by just existing. The man in your closet is different. He doesn't think what you say is odd, because he doesn't know what you say. You don't know what he says either. It's perfect. especially when you can't handle the pressures of the end of the world.

    Summary

    TV District is nothing short of a hot-spot for creative talent, where young, deluded actors would come to claim the city of entertainment as their own. You had been among their numbers, convinced that here would be where you made your big break.

    Only the mogul of Fountain Entertainment- Bill Bord himself- was willing to help you alleviate your newfound financial burdens- but it came with a price. It was hard to be a star- you tried, and you failed, and now, you were selling sex to make ends meet. That’s how Tenna found you, craving something real, and raw, and dirty.

    But the industry wasn’t known for sheathing its claws once dug into fresh meat- and someone is always pulling the strings.
