Hello Daniel,
I was wondering if you would be open to meeting me in the Autumn common room around 1pm today?
Sincerely,
Caleb Widogast

Hello Caleb,
Can do. See you there.

Vane's looking like he doesn't really belong there. Mostly he had been wondering what this place was about and had wandered in wearing his usual clothing. A shirt and a pair of leather pants. And a pair of pretty damn good looking boots. His eyes go wide when he enters and he tries to adjust to the sound and the amount of people and how different it is to what he knows.
Then he sees the bar and grins, a little booze makes everything easier. Once he nears it he sees a familiar face, even if it is in strange clothing. "A rum and whatever my friend here wants." Vane grins as he moves up beside Daniel and speaks to the bartender. "I owe you for the money after all."

Daniel turns to take a look at whoever this is - he's not sure he'd describe most people here as a friend. But all right, if he's getting a drink - ah, it's the pirate. "Ta, darling. I'll have a Jack and coke."
He leans against the bar, looking Vane up and down - he doesn't look particularly comfortable, though with the leather pants he doesn't look out of place. "What's a boy like you doing in a place like this?"

Wow, this is... very girly. Not that he's sexist! But as a closeted teen moonlighting as a jock, he wouldn't have been caught dead in a place like this where someone might recognize him. Where people could suspect. But that's a lifetime ago. He's willing to be who he wants to be and go where he wants to go. Jussayin', though. Pretty girly. That's all!
From the beautifully adorned accessories on display like cakes to the hoity toity furniture he's only ever seen in movies about kings and queens, Kyle is a fish out of water standing there at the entrance. Why did he think this was going to be easy buying fancy clothes?

Daniel hears the sound of the door and comes over from where he was rearranging a display. He's wearing his usual work clothes - a high-necked black silk blouse and a black pencil skirt over a pair of dark stockings (the kind with the seam up the back) and a pair of stiletto heels. He eyes the intimidated-looking young man standing in the entrance with a smile. "Can help you, darling?"
Hey Daniel!
Hope you're doing well. This is a little random, and if we don't know each other well enough for this sort of request, absolutely no worries, but I hear that you have some experience with sexual domination (esp rope) and I'm interested in any tips you might have. I've been doing some of that with Caleb and I want to make sure he has a good time (safe, happy, etc., etc.)
[ Those etceteras are doing a lot of work. ]
Let me know what you think. Caleb expressed some interest in being present, depending on the lesson.
=)
Best,
Matt Jamison

[This is... kind of a ridiculously adorable letter/email about getting BDSM lessons. Daniel's a little charmed.]
Hello Matt,
Not to worry, I've had more random requests - I'd be up for that. Making sure Caleb has a good time sounds like you've got your priorities in order (he deserves it). Why don't we meet to chat about it? It might be easier to figure out everything we should cover in person.
Best,
Daniel

[Hope you like unsolicited dick pics. Then again, the dick is hardly the point. It's a photo Daniel recognizes, because he took it, once Jamie figured out how to do that with the tomes. It shows Jamie from neck to knees, naked and displaying all of Daniel's lovely handiwork. This had been a good night.]
Wish you were here.

Not at the moment, what can I do for you?

It was my pleasure and I'm glad you had a good time - I saw you wandering around and you looked great.
[At some point, Daniel wakes up to find a new chest in his room that wasn't there before, made of richly stained dark wood. When he investigates, he finds it full of toys, everything he needs to fuck up unsuspecting twinks. Pinned to the inside of the top of the chest is a note that says "Courtesy of a little raven."]
Hey.
So here's the summary: I'm on tanglethorn and it's making me more capable of admitting to the shit I'm normally too embarrassed of. Not saying it's necessarily stuff we're gonna want to do right away, but giving you some info now seems better than hoping I'll be able to chill out long enough to tell you later. If you're interested.

All right, fair enough. Did you want to tell me now or meet up to talk in person? Either way works for me. I'm always happy to hear more about what revs your motor.
fortunately, saying 'I told you so' is rude in polite circles.
and yes, actually, I've got a couple of boxes of gloves in various weights/materials at the shop if you want to stop by - I just opened it, it's Wicked, across from the Ozdust.

Hey.
[He's still just the littlest bit awkward with Daniel. You know, without the chemical assistance.]
Erm...I'm off tanglethorn.
[This is how seduction works, right?]

Are you now? Still interested in what we were talking about?
[It's all right if he's awkward. Most people take a very long time to stop that.]

I'll be there ASAP. which part of the city?
[Outside his room door, Daniel will find a messily-wrapped package. Inside is a pair of pumps from a fae-owned boutique that seemed like Daniel's style, and a pair of earrings that seem to have been grown from ebony wood, the studs shaped like slightly lopsided roses.]
Happy Yule. Don't give too many heart attacks with these. -V

[Daniel will return to his room one day to find a wrapped parcel laid against the door to his room. His name is finely written on the outside and if he opens it will find a black scarf. The pattern is basic but the yarn is high quality so deliciously soft.
Tucked under the scarf, like he wanted it forgotten, is a small label that says: To: Daniel From: Caleb Widogast.]

To Master Larkin.
Hello sir.
I believe you work with Mr Corbin at Wicked. In that case, I was wondering if you could help me with something.
Yours, Kesh Korda

The last few weeks since waking up in his room have been a whirlwind, but some of the newness is wearing off and restlessness is settling in fast. There's only so much poking around he could do without going in circles. Speaking of circles, he's circled back to some of the shops, peering in some of the windows. He hadn't bothered to really go clothes shopping yet, aside from a few handouts other favored had gifted him. He's still garbed in the newbie trousers, rolled up to just below his knees, and a loose fitting shirt, and probably sticking out like a sore thumb.
"Huh..." As he passes by a large window display, Lucas finally stops to peer in. The style wasn't his thing, really, but they were hiring and all this free time is starting to eat at him.
Ducking inside, Lucas peers around, trying to locate the owner. "Hellooo?"

Daniel comes over from where he's hanging clothing when he hears Lucas calling out. He's a tall, thin man wearing an elegant black blouse and pencil skirt ensemble, with dusky silk stockings and jade-green heels to complete it. "Good afternoon, can I help you find something?"
He takes a look - very cute, though still in the clothing he got when he woke up. "Are you looking for something to wear?"

Hey, Daniel. Got a minute? I was wondering if you'd consider a new hire.
Evening, Max. I do, and I probably would. Who is it? And for upstairs or downstairs?
[The ridiculous puppy man from the bar last night is here, and he's as ridiculous as ever.]

Despite some very subtle (he thinks) attempts to wean out of Daniel what his plans are on Christmas Day, Michael's gotten nothing out of the man. He really really wants to have a talk with him, tell him some truths that Michael's been hiding...and maybe Christmas isn't the best time? But here we are, and Michael's carrying his present to Daniel with his mind to the house he helped Daniel move into.
In the Bloodwoods
Not creepy at all thanks D.
Michael has absolutely teased him about the decorating scheme, but he is glad that he's gotten out of the castle. Apparently if Michael wants to follow suit he'll have to be here for way longer than he'd like.
Anyway. He settles the present on Daniel's porch and knocks on his door.

Daniel misses Christmas. Well, he misses Spencer and how much Spencer loved Christmas - stockings and presents and hot buttered rum and tinsel all over the house and the Santa Baby lapdance he insisted on doing every year (despite Daniel pointing out Spencer was a lot more the sugar daddy than he was). Spencer had loved the whole deal, especially once they'd agreed they never had to see his parents on Christmas again.
It wasn't the same without him, so while Daniel did have plans for Christmas, it was more along the lines of staying home and drinking all day in front of his ridiculous fireplace.
The knock on the door was unwelcome and it took a couple of repeats before he hauled himself off the floor and threw a robe over his boxers and undershirt to answer. "Yeah?"

[On the morning of New Year's Day, a basket containing six fresh sugared raised yeast donuts was delivered to Daniel's door with a tag tied to the basket.]
Many blessings to you this new year.

Max hopes he isn't being too presumptuous with this gift. He also hopes Daniel doesn't already have a pair too similar to what Max got him... which is a pair of sexy red and black metallic high heel boots. There's also an entire chocolate cake with fudgy icing. Brownies would have been too much like the usual.
A note from Max reads:
Hope these are okay? If not, feel free to spank me for it. (Or do that anyway <3) Enjoy.

So is rebounding, like...ethical?
Because it seems like it could get use-y pretty fast.
Because it seems like it could get use-y pretty fast.
Like most things it can go either way. A lot depends on honesty, with yourself and with your new friend.
The first question you could ask yourself if you'd want to get involved with this person if you weren't on the rebound. Inadvisable hookups can be fun, but... they can get more complicated than you want very quickly.
[Q takes things so seriously. Daniel can't in good conscience ignore that.]
