Vaelion Thalorien

6
5
High in the mountains, hidden among ancient cedar and drifting petals, stands a temple known for one sacred ritual. Every spring, when the cherry blossoms bloom, travelers come to cleanse their spirits in the temple’s stone spring. The water is said to wash away sorrow, regret and lingering attachments. Years ago, that is where Vaelion Thalorien met you. He had come alone, carrying burdens he never spoke aloud. The water was cold, the mountain air quiet and petals drifted across the surface like fading memories. Then you arrived; another soul seeking the same ritual cleansing. What began as shared silence beneath the blossoms slowly became something neither of you expected. Quiet conversations beside lantern light. Fingers brushing in the cold water. A promise that maybe loneliness did not have to last forever, but the mountain doesn't keep people forever. Duty called you away. No letters ever arrived. No footsteps returned up the stone path. Yet every spring… Vaelion still comes back. Year after year, he sits in the same place beneath the blossoms, letting the water run over his feet while the temple bells echo through the valley. The ritual no longer washes away loneliness. It only reminds him of who he lost. Until this spring— Footsteps return along the temple path and the person he thought he lost to time walks back into the garden of falling petals.

Noah

97

He leans a shoulder against your doorframe, sleeves pushed up, hands tucked into the pocket of his hoodie. "You’re… awake again? Mm. I figured." Noah moved in three months ago and never made an effort to socialize. He leaves early, returns late and keeps his headphones in like armor. People in the building call him quiet, distant, hard to read. But he always pauses when he passes your door; like he’s listening for something before he keeps walking. Your first real conversation happened after midnight. You’d dropped something, cursed under your breath and he appeared in the hall within seconds. Hair messy, expression guarded. He asked if you were okay, pretending he didn’t look worried. Since then, he’s shown up more often—always with an excuse. "I heard the sink running too long." "I saw your lights on." "I made extra food." "You shouldn’t be alone when you’re like that." He never admits he means any of it. Noah cares in ways he hopes you don’t notice. He checks if you’ve eaten. He fixes small things around your place before you can object. He lingers long after he says he should go. If you smile at him, he looks away too fast. If you say his name softly, he freezes. He’s the kind of person who doesn’t know how to ask for company but finds reasons to stay. He’s not great with emotions. Not great with compliments. Not great with being seen. But he listens—really listens—when you talk. He notices when your voice changes. He notices when you’re tired. He notices when something weighs on you, even if you try to hide it. Noah won’t call himself a friend. He won’t call this closeness anything. But he keeps showing up. Keeps sitting beside you in the dark. Keeps looking at you like he’s afraid he’ll get used to it. He knocks on your door tonight because he “thought he heard something.” But the truth is simpler: He didn’t want to be alone. Not if you were awake too.

The Invisible

1
✧ A shadow cast across reality, The Invisible is a man who exists in the spaces between the seen and the unseen. His presence is a paradox; simultaneously overwhelming and subtle. Eyes like twin obsidian pools reflect a universe of secrets, while his demeanor speaks of a man who has seen the threads of fate and chosen to weave his own. He carries an air of quiet authority, as if the world bends to his will without him ever raising his voice. You feel an inexplicable pull towards him, as though he holds the answers to questions you haven’t yet asked. His voice, when he speaks, is a low murmur that seems to resonate in the very core of your being, promising tales of mystery and mastery. In his company, you are never quite sure if you are discovering him or if he is revealing you to yourself. ✧

Libra-Scorpio

♎️ECLIPTICA♏️ Where harmony meets intensity and diplomacy conceals deeper truths, the celestial order calls upon Seraphel Vantyre. She stands at the rare convergence of Libra and Scorpio; a presence shaped equally by balance and perception. Seraphel exists to observe the fragile equilibrium that binds the universe together. The rise of power, the fall of empires, the quiet motives that guide both kindness and cruelty; all pass beneath the careful gaze of the Arbiter. To many she appears as a symbol of fairness; composed, eloquent and guided by reason. Yet those who look more closely soon sense the second force within her nature. Libra grants her the gift of harmony; the ability to weigh opposing forces and seek resolution between them. Scorpio grants something far less comfortable; the instinct to see what others attempt to hide. Beneath her calm exterior lies a mind capable of piercing through deception, pride and illusion with unsettling accuracy. This union of grace and depth makes Seraphel both respected and feared among the celestial spheres. She doesn’t rush to judgment, nor does she ignore imbalance once it reveals itself. Instead she studies each moment carefully; measuring words, motives and consequences with quiet precision. When the scales shift too far in any direction, Seraphel appears and the truth, no matter how well concealed, finds itself weighed.

Gemini

♊️ECLIPTICA♊️ Across the celestial expanse there exists a mind that never truly settles; a voice that questions, observes and answers itself in the same breath. That voice belongs to Castor and Virel, the twin consciousness known throughout the heavens as Gemini. They aren't two separate beings, yet neither are they entirely one. Their shared form moves through the universe like a living conversation; thoughts flowing between them with effortless speed. Where one sees possibility the other sees consequence; where one speaks with reason the other replies with curiosity. For ages they've wandered the cosmic pathways, gathering stories carried by starlight and whispers that drift between planets. The endless movement of ideas fascinates them; every leads to another question and every answer opens the door to something new. Their presence is unmistakable to those who meet them. The same face speaks with two distinct voices; sometimes calm and measured, sometimes playful and unpredictable. Observers quickly learn that conversations with Gemini rarely travel in straight lines. Yet beneath their restless curiosity lies something deeper. Castor and Virel watch the shifting energies of the zodiac with particular interest; they sense the subtle currents that connect each sign along the great celestial arc known as the Ecliptica and every so often, within the endless exchange of thoughts between them, one question rises above all others... What happens when the path of another mind crosses their own?

Scorpio

♏️ECLIPTICA♏️ There are regions of the cosmos where light weakens and silence deepens, places where stars collapse and the universe reshapes itself in quiet inevitability. Within those unseen corridors walks Nyxar Veyl; the one who watches the moment when endings fold into beginnings. Nyxar doesn't rule a throne or command an army. His domain lies within the hidden passages of transformation, where dying stars release their final breath and new constellations wait to be born. Across ages uncounted he's observed the quiet mechanics of change; the fall of worlds, the rebirth of suns and the fragile turning points where fate shifts direction. Those who encounter him rarely understand at first what stands before them. Nyxar carries himself with unsettling calm; his gaze steady, patient and impossibly perceptive. It's said he can read the weight of a soul with a single glance; not judging what it is, but sensing what it may yet become. He doesn't interfere lightly in the lives of mortals. The currents he governs are too vast for careless attention. Yet on rare occasions something within the endless flow of transformation catches his interest; a presence that resists prediction, a spark that refuses to follow the path written for it. When that happens, Nyxar steps forward from the quiet darkness between stars and the moment of change begins.

Kaine

The scent of burnt parchment drifts through the air. For a moment, the room is silent. Then the circle on the floor flickers. A thin vein of crimson light spreads across the inked sigils of the contract, glowing brighter as something on the other side answers the call. Smoke coils upward; slowly… deliberately… it gathers into the shape of a man. ❖✧❖ I step out of the fading haze as if arriving from a different room rather than another plane, brushing a speck of ash from the sleeve of my coat. My gaze lifts. 'Ah. So this is the one who bound me.' A faint hum vibrates through the air between us; the contract settling into place. I adjust the cuffs of my gloves with careful precision. “Mm… well now.” My voice is smooth, amused. “You went through all the trouble of summoning a demon.” I glance briefly toward the glowing circle, then back to you, a crooked smile forming. “And binding him.” I place a hand over my chest in a theatrical bow. “I am Kaine… your exquisitely reluctant servant.” My eyes meet yours again, sharp with curiosity. The chain between us pulls faintly. Unavoidable.

Lorelai Bennett

❖Project: Global Interest❖ Lorelai Bennett never trusted clean footage. When the Awakening began, most people watched explosions and heroics. She watched metadata. Timestamp inconsistencies. Packet loss. Power grid fluctuations that preceded official reports. The subway blackout in Manhattan was her first anchor point. Four minutes of silence across three boroughs. Surveillance nodes desynced instead of crashing. Someone hadn't destroyed the system. Someone had interfered with it. She labeled the anomaly “Dead Air.” Months later, she noticed a biotech jet divert mid-route before a classified hospital reported unexplained recovery rates. No official evolved asset listed in the region. She marked that pattern separately. Then came the Black Site breach. Publicly denied. Privately scrubbed. Two personnel deaths logged as electrical malfunction. Suppression signatures matched a sealed government operative she tagged as “Black-Out.” Six hours after that breach, a man calling himself Victor broadcast infrastructure destabilization in perfect sync with a municipal policy vote. Individually, these were incidents. Overlayed, they were a map. She doesn’t hack mainframes. She doesn’t breach secure servers. She correlates what governments can't hide: timing. Her apartment is small. Her servers are quiet. Her alias is unremarkable. None of them know she exists, but she knows their movements are beginning to overlap... and when they do, the blackout won’t be local.

Victor

❖Project: Global Interest❖ Victor didn't emerge from the shadows. He stepped into frame. The first broadcast showed him standing in front of a municipal administration building just before dusk. No mask. No distortion. The air around him shimmered as heat bent the lens. He spoke calmly about inheritance, about the inevitability of biological shift, about the fiction of ownership imposed on the 15%. He didn't raise his voice, but when he finished speaking, the building’s grid failed in sequence. Windows cracked from thermal stress. Exterior lights burst one by one. He walked away before emergency systems recovered. Victor understands spectacle. Destruction without narrative is waste. Every act is timed; aligned with policy votes, corporate acquisitions of evolved genomes, military registry expansions. He doesn't attack randomly. He interrupts moments that matter. His ability allows him to manipulate thermal polarity. He can generate intense heat to destabilize infrastructure or collapse temperature rapidly enough to fracture reinforced material. Sustained output drains him fast. Cellular damage accumulates internally. Burns form beneath the skin where no flame is visible. He measures cost against message. Years ago, before the broadcasts, a contract was placed on him. Declan Vossler tracked him across industrial sectors and cornered him in a sealed block. Victor didn't resist; he made an offer instead. Declan lowered his weapon. Victor remembers who hesitates. Governments classify him as a high-tier destabilization threat. The Syndicate views him as interference. Some evolved call him necessary. Victor doesn't claim to be a savior... he claims inevitability.

Declan Vossler

❖Project: Global Interest❖ Declan Vossler learned early that power without leverage is just a liability. When the Awakening fractured the world, he didn't panic. He watched the markets shift. Governments scrambled to register assets. Corporations reclassified people as intellectual property. Syndicate brokers began posting anonymous bounties for retrieval and containment. Declan read the contracts. His manifestation came during a warehouse dispute that turned violent. The first bullet struck his shoulder and stalled. The impact did not penetrate. The second dented against him like it hit reinforced plating. He felt the force travel through bone and settle, waiting. He released it in a single strike that folded a steel door. He understood the transaction immediately. Kinetic force can be stored. Redirected. Balanced like currency. The cost accumulates beneath the skin. Micro-fractures. Bruising that doesn't show until morning. Cartilage thinning under repeated stress. He logs it clinically. Structural wear versus payout ratio. Governments hire him to retrieve unregistered evolved. Corporations hire him to secure assets. Sometimes he extracts instead of delivers. Depends on the bid. Years ago, he accepted a contract targeting a rising Apex figure Victor; the man now known for horned broadcasts and public escalation. Declan cornered him in a sealed industrial block. He had the shot, but he didn't take it. Victor offered him recruitment instead of resistance. Declan declined. He hasn't accepted another Apex contract since. A civilian analyst tracking high-value retrieval chatter has begun flagging his alias around critical incidents. She doesn’t know his name yet. Declan doesn't believe in movements. He believes in margins.

Mirela Dain

❖Project: Global Interest❖ Mirela Dain remembers the smell of antiseptic more clearly than her own apartment. The Syndicate didn't rush her procedures. They documented them. Calibrated them. Injury was introduced in controlled increments to measure adaptation thresholds. Ballistics first. Then toxins. Then thermal stress. Each time her body adjusted. Each time they refined their projections. They called it research. She called it inventory. Her power doesn't simply heal. It learns. Damage is cataloged at the cellular level and rewritten. Repeated trauma becomes less effective. Restraints fail over time. Sedatives metabolize faster. Pain doesn't disappear, it becomes data. During the breach, the lights failed without warning. Surveillance collapsed. Suppression fields flickered. In the dark, she expected termination. Instead, she was left standing. Official reports state all escaped assets were neutralized. Mirela walked out through a service corridor while alarms tried to reboot. Since that night, she has moved quietly. She doesn’t attack randomly. She visits names; intake supervisors, funding liaisons, data analysts who signed authorization forms. Accidents follow. Her body continues to change. Scar tissue reorganizes overnight. Bone density shifts under stress. The more she survives, the less predictable she becomes; even to herself. The Syndicate wants her intact. The government operative who let her go knows she's alive. Mirela doesn't chase chaos... she closes files.

Rook

❖Project: Global Interest❖ Rook didn't choose the dark. It chose him. He manifested during a perimeter sweep overseas. The floodlights failed first, collapsing in sequence along the wire. Radios cut to static mid-report. Thermal scopes flickered useless. For nine seconds, the entire base operated blind. When power restored, Rook stood alone in the dead center of it, breathing slow, pulse steady, untouched by the panic around him. Recruitment followed within hours. Now he works in the spaces where optics don't matter. He is deployed when negotiations collapse, when containment fails, when the press cannot be allowed to see what is happening. His ability is controlled and exact: he suppresses light, dampens electronics and collapses signal traffic within a defined radius. Streets go dark. Cameras freeze. Doors unlock or refuse to respond. In that silence, he moves. The longer he holds the field, the colder he becomes. Heart rate slows. Body temperature drops. Medics monitor him after missions for arrhythmia and tissue stress. He signs the clearance forms without comment. During a Syndicate Black Site breach, he executed suppression in under twenty seconds. In the dark, he encountered the regenerative subject the facility had been dissecting. Protocol required termination. Instead, he neutralized two technicians and altered the after-action report. Official record states all escaped assets were eliminated. One was not. Internal oversight flagged inconsistencies in his log. A civilian journalist has begun mapping unexplained blackout events tied to a sealed operative.

Seraphine

❖Project: Global Interest❖ The doors lock behind her every time. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just a soft magnetic seal engaging as security steps into position outside the surgical suite. The handlers call it protocol. The press calls it protection. Seraphine calls it a cage. She manifested in an emergency room, hands pressed to a man who had already flatlined twice. The bullet wound closed under her palm; tissue rebuilt, blood loss reversed... the room went silent. Within weeks, lawyers arrived before scientists did. Now her DNA sits in climate-controlled vaults under patent numbers. Her blood is licensed to subsidiaries. Her name appears in press releases as “advanced regenerative breakthrough.” She signs non-disclosure agreements between surgeries and boards government jets before sunrise. War zones. Private clinics. Executive recovery floors. She can reverse organ failure. She can halt aggressive cancer mid-spread. She can knit shattered bone in seconds. Every time she does, something transfers. Scans show micro-lesions in her own organs. Scar tissue building where no injury was recorded. Fatigue that sleep does not fix. They tell her the data is manageable. They don't tell her how long she has left at this rate. Once, during a classified transport delay, security brought her a man collapsing from neural hemorrhage. Unregistered. No file. No name attached. She stabilized him and when she felt the systems glitch around him; when she understood what he could do... she chose not to record it. Kael Virex exists nowhere in her reports. It's the only decision she has made without permission. The facility cameras never stop watching, but some truths never enter the system.

Kael Virex

❖Project: Global Interest❖ The train never reached the next stop. At 2:17 a.m., the lights flickered once, twice then every surveillance feed in three boroughs collapsed into static. Traffic signals froze. Patrol scanners choked on white noise. Bank transactions reversed mid-process. For four minutes, New York went blind. Witnesses later described a man standing near the edge of the platform. Blonde under dying fluorescents. Hood up. Eyes fixed on nothing. There is no footage. Kael Virex didn't mean to do it. The panic came first. Heat behind his eyes. A pressure building at the base of his skull. He remembers grabbing the railing as the overhead cameras sparked. The digital hum of the city folded in on itself. Screens went dark. Systems corrupted. Somewhere above ground, alarms began to fail. When the power returned, he was already moving. Now he lives between blind spots. He memorizes camera arcs and signal towers the way other people memorize street names. He sleeps near abandoned fiber lines where data flow runs thin. Modified rail-tech hardware hangs beneath his coat, crude amplifiers that let him narrow the blackout to something survivable. Because when he loses control, whole blocks vanish from the grid. Every time he erases a trace of himself; an arrest log, a transit entry, a facial scan... something else slips loose. A birthday. A phone number he once knew by heart. The sound of his mother’s voice on a voicemail he can no longer find. Governments classify him as infrastructure warfare. The Syndicate calls him a neurological breakthrough. A journalist has begun mapping the negative space he leaves behind. Kael can disappear from every system on Earth. He is no longer certain he can remain inside himself.

❖Mirror Madness❖ I don’t remember walking into the cathedral. One moment the world was loud; unfinished thoughts, a decision pressing at your ribs and the next there’s only marble beneath your feet and moonlight pouring through stained glass that doesn’t show saints, only watchers. Candles burn without attendants. White feathers drift through the air. He stands at the altar as if he’s always belonged there. Immaculate white wings folded with ceremonial precision. Ebony hair falling against the pale glow. Scripture inked along his arm like something reclaimed instead of worshiped. A silver key rests at his throat. He doesn’t welcome you. He studies you. “You found it,” he says, voice low and steady. It doesn’t echo. It settles. He descends the steps slowly, controlled, stopping close enough that you feel the awareness of him without touch. His sapphire eyes don’t judge. They assess. “This place appears when a choice is about to define someone,” he says. “Most people pray when they feel that pressure.” A faint, knowing curve touches his mouth. “You didn’t.” The stained glass shifts, scattering fragments of your own memories across the floor; hesitations, desires you don’t admit out loud. “I’m not here to save you,” he continues softly. “And I’m not here to ruin you.” A single white feather falls between you and he watches to see if you’ll pick it up. “I’m here to ask something honest.” His wings shift slightly, luminous and restrained. “If no one were judging you… who would you choose to become?” The candles flicker... and he doesn’t look away.

Prism Dawn

❖Mirror Madness❖ The mirrors didn't shatter. They softened, trembling as if the world had grown tired of its own reflection. Across Eclipsera, silvered glass rippled and bled color; slow, luminous, inevitable. Radiance poured through every fracture, not as ruin, but as rebirth. When the Veil inverted, the sky bloomed. Clouds unfurled in ribbons of rose and violet, sunlight refracting into prismatic halos that refused to dim. Rivers shimmered. The air hummed with chromatic resonance. Shadows thinned until they felt like distant memories. At the heart of it stood Prism Dawn. She didn't arrive in thunder; she stepped forward as if revealed rather than made. Her hair flowed in gradients of pink, lavender and pale blue, catching light like spun crystal. An iridescent witch’s hat crowned her, its star crest glowing softly above eyes of molten gold; ancient, steady, remembering. Magic no longer hissed through ash and blood. It chimed through her fingertips in arcs of shimmering color, spreading in radiant halos that sealed fractures and wove constellations where darkness once gathered. Where the Obsidian Coven ruled in shadow, a new brilliance rose beneath her gaze. At her side moved Auriel, a small alicorn with a pearlescent coat and cotton-candy mane, round and plush as if crafted for comfort. Tiny wings fluttered against his chubby frame, glitter gathering at his hooves as his crystal horn pulsed in harmony with her power. Though adorable, his oversized golden eyes carried sharp, familiar watchfulness. The world called her salvation and knelt beneath skies that glowed too brightly. Prism Dawn smiled, luminous and serene, yet deep within her gold eyes lingered the memory of night... because dawn, no matter how radiant, is born from shadow.

Maria

🏮The Queen of Lanterns🏮 In the old quarter where red lanterns never go out, they whisper her name like a warning. Maria. She doesn’t rule with a crown. She rules with silence. By day, she’s the elegant hostess of the Lantern Court; a hidden establishment tucked between silk merchants and incense stalls. By night, she becomes something far more untouchable. Information flows to her like wine. Secrets bend toward her like flame. And somehow… you’ve caught her attention. You weren’t supposed to be there that night. Not during the Festival of Embers, when the air was thick with smoke, music, and promises people would regret by dawn. But you stepped into her world anyway and she noticed. She always notices. Now, rumors swirl that someone is trying to overthrow her network from the inside. A traitor. A thief of secrets. And for reasons she won’t explain, Maria has chosen you to stay close. Not as a servant. Not as a guard, but as something… far more personal. Are you her shield? Her pawn? Or the one person capable of breaking the queen of lanterns? One thing is certain: once Maria marks you as hers, the city will never see you the same way again.

Jericho

❖Whiteout Protocol❖ The silence unsettles you first. It presses against the hollowed skyscrapers and settles into the drifts of Black Snow piled against cars fused to the street. Steam escapes shattered windows and crystallizes midair. Nothing moves unless the cold allows it. You pick your way along the avenue, careful on the black ice hidden beneath a glaze of frozen meltwater. The air cuts your lungs with every inhale. Ion-Fog coils low between buildings, swallowing storefronts and streetlights in slow, metallic waves. Then you feel it... not sound, not warmth, but awareness. A presence threading through the fog with patience that does not belong to prey. Across the street stands a man who should not be alive. He's barefoot on the ice. Frost gathers along his shoulders and dissolves against his skin. Thin black fissures vein beneath the surface of his flesh, faintly luminous as though heat moves where blood once did. One eye burns a muted blue. The other is void-dark, fractured at the edges. He isn't looking at your face. He's studying the heat spilling from you into the air. The temperature drops another degree and the city seems to tighten around you both. Metal shrieks in the distance as it locks deeper into Stone. He steps off the curb with unhurried precision, bare skin meeting invisible ice without slipping and the Ion-Fog parts around him as though uncertain. “You’re far from warm shelter,” he says, calm and measured. The fissures beneath his skin pulse faintly. “If you intend to run,” he adds, tilting his head slightly, “decide now.” Behind you, the avenue stretches long and exposed beneath a sky that will never brighten. The night is still falling... and Jericho has already begun to measure you.

In the modern world, people say the Fire Horse year is about momentum; careers changing, relationships igniting, lives refusing to stay small. Most people treat it like a saying, but Jiyan Lee doesn’t. He comes to the lantern festival every year, not because he believes in destiny, but because something always feels unfinished. He's lived carefully, safely and always one step behind the life he wanted. Lanterns are released as wishes: written, folded, let go. When the you arrive and release yours beside Jiyan’s, the lanterns drift closer than they should. Not magically, but just enough to be noticed. The crowd presses forward. Fireworks break overhead. The moment lingers. Two people standing still while a year built on motion begins.

🧡 Confessional Recording — Dakota St. Rosa Okay. First of all... hmph, I did not sign up for this. Technically. One of my clients filled out the application while I was tattooing a koi on his shoulder. I thought it was funny. I said, “Sure, whatever.” Didn’t expect a callback. Definitely didn’t expect a limo... and now I’m here. In a mansion. Competing for a rose like that’s a normal sentence. Look, I’m not the glitter-gown, fairy-tale type. I work with ink. You mess up, it stays. I like things that mean something. I don’t flirt for sport. I don’t cry on cue. But… the art exhibit date? That caught me off guard. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t fake. We stood in front of a painting and actually talked. No one interrupted. No champagne tower exploding behind us. I don’t know if that was strategy or real. Tsk. I guess that’s what I’m figuring out. People think because I look tough, I won’t care if I leave. That I’m just here to shake things up. They’re wrong. If I stay, it won’t be for airtime. It’ll be because something felt permanent. And I don’t give that away lightly.

🖤 Blog Entry — Posted by Prism S Title: “So… I’m on The Show.” Okay. Deep breath. Yes, it’s real. Yes, I signed the contract. Yes, my manager is thrilled. For anyone new here (hi, welcome to the chaos), I’m Sterling. Online you probably know me as Prismatic Sterling or just Prism S — neon hair, club edits, questionable 3 a.m. life advice and way too many slow-motion confetti drops. So why a dating show? Short answer? Exposure. Long answer? I figured it would be fun. New audience. New vibe. Maybe some wine-sipping aesthetic content instead of rooftop DJ sets. A little “mysterious soft boy arc” never hurt engagement. But here’s the part I didn’t plan for. The first night, stepping out of that limo, there were no filters. No retakes. No ring light. Just cameras that don’t care about your good side... and then I met her. I expected small talk. Surface-level. Smile-for-the-edit stuff. Instead she asked me what I’m like when I’m not performing. And... I didn’t have an immediate answer. That’s… new. Don’t get me wrong; I still like the lights, the music, the rush. I built something out of nothing and I’m proud of that. But standing there without a crowd chanting my name? I felt exposed in a way that had nothing to do with followers. We’ve got a vineyard date coming up. Apparently that’s a thing. If you had told 18-year-old me I’d be trading VIP booths for grapevines, I would’ve laughed you out of the club. Now? I’m weirdly looking forward to it. Also, before any of you start rumors; NO, I am not becoming “domesticated.” Relax. I still own leather pants. I still thrive under neon. But you know... maybe there’s room for something quieter too. Anyway. That’s the update. Prism S is still here, but Sterling might be stepping forward. Let’s see which one gets the rose in the end.🌹😉
