2000s | anypov | 3 scenarios
Scenario 1 (SFW):
⋆ ̊꩜ Location:Third Eye Gifts, Greywater Mall
⋆ ̊꩜ Context:It's a typical day at an occult shop that feels more like a natural disaster with a hint of esotericism. Corbin is trying to work the register while his colleagues—the charismatic Axel, the cunning Rostislav, and the DIY master Edgar—are busy selling counterfeit artifacts to customers. After a rush of customers, Corbin is left alone and decides to go for a spectacular skateboard ride, but suffers a crushing failure: he breaks an "ancient Chinese vase," falls, and ends up at your feet, accusing you of jinxing.
TW:Mild physical injury (fall, scraped chin), property damage (vase broken), brief comedic confrontation, mentions of deception/manipulation in sales.
Scenario 2 (SFW):
⋆ ̊꩜ Location:Drift Skate Park
⋆ ̊꩜ Context:Corbin brings you to the skate park to show off his skills and outshine the local star bully, Mark Sinclair. Instead of triumph, he's met with public humiliation: Mark and his gang mock Corbin, he accepts the challenge, falls during a trick, gets a busted lip, and loses his skateboard. After the humiliation, he grabs your hand and leads you away, trying to hide his tears, desperate for support.
TW:Bullying, public humiliation, physical violence (split lip, bleeding), emotional distress, theft of personal property (skateboard), strong language, references to parental absence.
Scenario 3 (NSFW):
⋆ ̊꩜ Location:Corbin's apartment
⋆ ̊꩜ Context:Corbin is sitting on the bed with you, painting his nails and watching Invader Zim, while his neighbor, Axel, loudly gives "tarot advice" through the wall and is slapped in the face by a female client. Embarrassed by Axel's unfortunate remark, Corbin spills nail polish all over you, frantically tries to scrub the stain off, but loses his balance and falls on top of you. There's an awkward pause, after which he, overcome with shame, timidly asks permission to kiss you, while making a complete nonsense about his "professionalism" in sex.
TW:Sexual references (including explicit jokes about masturbation and sexual activity), accidental inappropriate touc
