It's not biased, it's an observation.

[kobes]

Based on ONE experience, that's hardly empirical evidence. Besides, it was a
Unique situation, too. You had a lot going on.

[holyposition]

I always have a lot going on. Don't we all?

The diagrams are unnecessarily explicit. This is almost pornography.

[kobes]

I meant in the moment, but yes. We do. Is it nice, the quiet? Having your own space?

Well, it helps to have everything labeled, I didn't know half of this stuff. Different equipment.

[holyposition]

It doesn't feel like my own yet. He's still got stuff here.

Right, sorry. I just don't know if this is the kind of thing you learn from books. It's better hands on.
which there is no way to say without sounding crude, shut up

[kobes]

Ah.
Do you want help? Boxing it up? [Maybe he misses you Tim, shut up.]

No, no, please, go on, I think you have a promising future as a sexual kink lecturer :) Tell me more about hands on experience.

[holyposition]

I don't know. He says he's coming back in three weeks, if I let him. I don't know if I will yet.

👨‍🏫

Well, Koby, I think you ought to try things before dedicating yourself to reading a whole book about it. There's all kinds of things I've enjoyed that I would have thought were crazy if you'd asked me before. And some things that sounded good, but weren't in practice.

It's based in emotion, not facts and diagrams.

[kobes]

Three weeks. Interesting.
He talked to me too. He wanted me to warn you about certain guests.

Where'd that little guy come from? He looks like you. 👨‍🏫👨‍🏫👨‍🏫
🦭🦭🦭 there's a seal, too.

I know!
I know. In theory.



Facts are safer, though. I can't ruin facts.

[holyposition]

Does that mean something to you?

Danny? You can just say Danny. I'm not involved with him and I told Hawk that about thirty times

🥛✝️🇺🇲🌲

A lot of it is gonna be subjective. Or situational. Or depending on the person. Not a lot of hard facts.

[kobes]

Not yet. I need to check a couple books.

Yes, Danny. [The sigh is almost audible.] He does have a point, sort of, but I think an abundance of caution is appropriate with everyone.

Milk purple x flag tree. What's that mean?
I forgot too, if I told you about when I was a seal, in the last place. I'm sorry if I didn't, it slipped my mind.

That's a lot of complicating factors. So far I've liked
Everything? That doesn't mean I've been any good at it.

[holyposition]

For what???

There's nothing to be worried about, since I'm not involved with him.

that's a cross koby. they don't mean anything together it's just some that I like

Well for me, sometimes I like things with one person and I won't like them with another. A different dynamic changes things. Like I said, it's all emotional.

[kobes]

Date significance, historical correlation, the usual stuff.

"Involved" means "talking to" in this case, I think. I trust you. I trust your judgement.

Oh! I thought you were sending me some sort of code. 📚⛵️🎣🎩

Huh. I hadn't thought about it like that. How many people HAVE you been with?
Or is that a weird question.

[holyposition]

The usual stuff? The end of September isn't inherently interesting.

It would be inappropriate, usually. But I trust you, too. You can't tell anyone this.

Eight people, if you include yourself. Half of them since I've been here.

[kobes]

Not on the surface, no, but there are all sorts of histories and traditions -- old farmer's almanacs, festivals and birthdays and deathdays. I'll figure something out.

I won't. I can keep a secret. [Haha....hah.]

Does it only count if
Well. What makes it count? What are the parameters?

[holyposition]

"Three weeks, interesting. There might be a birthday. I better do more research."

???

If you're being physically intimate, it counts for me. Hawk doesn't count blowjobs.

[kobes]

CLEARLY it's a significant date to Hawk, otherwise he wouldn't have specified.
Also it's interesting to see when famous people were born!
Did you know Abraham Lincoln was born three months and one day before me??? That's practically the same day. [Koby.]

Really? That brings my number down.
I think it counts, though. So --
Seven. All here.

[holyposition]

I don't think it is. And I thought you didn't even share the same calendar as us.

Really? In 3 months?
Sorry
that sounded bad. it's fine. it seems like they want us to.





Who?

[kobes]

Not the same years, but the same months, for...some reason. And the seasons are vaguely the same, in some areas. Also, apparently, some of the same holidays?

I'd never done ANYTHING before, remember, I hadn't really had time.
Plus a lot of it was influenced by this place. My first time at Underworld I was
Sort of all over the place. It was nice, really nice.



You first.

[holyposition]

Do you have Christmas?

Okay, fine.

My first was a junior chaplain in college, his name was Bob. A couple more bad hookups, and then Hawk. Luci, Quentin, Lestat, and you.

[kobes]

Yes, actually. Which is confusing.

I don't know what a chaplain is, but college -- you were my age. How much later did you meet Hawk? You hadn't mentioned exactly how long you've known each other. [The other names get filed away, carefully, to cross-check his notes with, later. Not to tell anyone, just -- Danny might not be the only dangerous person here.]

Hao, Bellamy, Erik if it counts without getting undressed, Quentin, you, Luffy sort of and
Shanks.

Wait, does it count if they aren't guests? Not the Balfours, some of their friends. I think.

[holyposition]

With no Christianity?

A chaplain is a representative of the church, I went to a Catholic college. They were there for spiritual guidance. So the junior chaplain is like an assistant. I was 19, then. I met Hawk when I was 22.

They count. What did you do with Erik without either of you taking your clothes off? Just rub on each other?

[kobes]

It's for some sort of World Government reason, it's above my pay grade.

I see. Like a church...officer, almost. Was he nice? Was IT nice?

After you left the board game party, yes. More or less. There were handcuffs involved, it was all very interesting.

[holyposition]

He was really sweet. And it was nice, I guess, for a couple of inexperienced, scared boys figuring it out. I told you how it is at home, nobody tells you how it's supposed to work between men. We saw each other for about four months before he broke it off. He was so ashamed of himself, every time. He couldn't handle it anymore.

He cuffed you?

[ Hot. Authoritative. Tim's weakness for older men strikes again. ]

I've used ropes. And makeshift things like ties, belts. I like it.

[kobes]

You did, yeah. I'm glad it was nice. I mean
For a little while. You deserve that. Someone to be nice to you.
How DOES it work? With two men? I mean
Men like you?

He has this power, metal manipulation? So he did it without even touching them, kept them above my head and
Well.
It was very impressive, how he could do that at the same time.

That makes sense. For you, I mean. [Get perceived, Tim.]

[holyposition]

Thanks. I mean, I have that now. You and Quentin are nice to me.
but hold on, how did you find the edging book before the one about anal sex?

do you think he likes brunettes?

If I ask what you mean, you're gonna say something rude.
