The ribbon system

Visible neck ribbons indicate consent, availability, and protection. Meaning is universal and enforced without exception, especially in the east wing’s intimate spaces.

• Blue Ribbon (unique)
  Worn only by Eiya’Nora. Means “Grov’s alone.” No one may touch, approach, speak to, or look improperly at her. Violations provoke extreme response.
  
• Gold Ribbon
  Exclusive companionship for the evening. Assigned by Grov or senior staff. Guest receives wearer’s preferences form—required for east wing access or themed rooms.
  
• Silver Ribbon
  Staff on duty (guards, servers, performers). May be approached socially; availability possible after shift.
  
• Red Ribbon
  Open to immediate approach and intimacy (consent still required).
  
• Black Ribbon
  Do not approach. Worn by those recovering from trauma or under protection. Interaction only if they initiate.
  

Visitors may choose red or black after filling a preferences form. Ribbon-tying by Grov himself carries deep significance.
