( OPEN ) AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES...?

WHO: Whoever wants to be involved!
WHERE: Serene
WHEN: Before the imminent jailing, leading up to the jailing.
WHAT: An open house for Han Sooyoung Corporation, which is an apartment complex renovated for fellow Restless! While Sooyoung, Dokja, and Joonghyuk have invited a few for the initial wave, they want to see if others may be interested which may be followed with a public network post later in the month after all the event things.

As a note, while this is a light-hearted gathering where Joonghyuk, Sooyoung, and Dokja consider housing logistics, the Hierarchy guards will come in and arrest criminals somewhere midway... Sometimes you drew blood and must face the consequences.

If characters found interest in joining just from the open house alone, feel free to submit a form, but as Sooyoung and Joonghyuk will be jailed for a portion of the event, Dokja will be the contact for house things.

This post is also FFA!

WARNINGS: will be updated if anything comes up!

STOP BEING HOMELESS TODAY!


Wherever you are in the Stygia, you'll find a flyer that notes a refuge for Restless from other worlds. It is better to combat the Netherworld, its curses, and its beasts in numbers, no? Hopefully here you can form bonds with those who share the same space, that is what the flyer tries to sell you. An address is penned after its pitch, a building found in the calm of Serene.

The building towers over, floors overtaken by vines with no end and hanging plants, but it seems to be spruced up a bit compared to other forsaken lands. The yard has been manicured with grass leveled like someone bought a lawnmower for this occasion (they didn't). The doors are open for those who wish to take a tour of the floors, granted they will find Floor 3's Suite 1 locked. The rest are free for perusal and they are in good form, though empty aside from wild greens and beds.

Most of the action is on the yard, anyway... What with the wafting aroma of food, the sound of popping kernels, and the wonky projector that plays some movies from Mirth's notice board.


NETFLIX & FEAR?


The projector isn't the best quality... It really did seem like someone haggled their way to get it, however, and it plays while being attached to someone's phone which somehow has a USB slotted in. Netherworld technology really is interesting? Swathes of blankets are placed on the floor for all to lodge and enjoy the movies with sweet and salty popcorn (maybe tomato flavor, there are a lot of flavors) to munch.

The movie list can be found here (with whatever you can think of):

✦ Paranormal Activity
✦ The Blair Witch Project
✦ It
✦ The Ring
✦ Cargo
✦ Black Swan
✦ Us
✦ Nope
✦ The Cabin in the Woods
✦ Beetlejuice
✦ The Interview with the Vampire
✦ Shark movies (Jaws, Sharknado, etc.)

Outside of popcorn, there is stew and bread available for feast. It's delicious despite its simple presentation. While a bowl warms the heart and the stomach, it won't be washing away whatever jealousy y'all fostering. Weirdos. There are also dumplings, though one out of every twelve is extremely spicy.

No, there is no alcohol unless someone else brings it with them.

— ✤ —

Remember that the Hierarchy will be busting in later in the open house to arrest people, just to reference in threads if necessary! For characters interested in joining the house, feel free to submit a form to this page or wait until the network post later in the month.

Mm. He's not one to mince words. [ dimitri sounds fine with it, mostly. and (john mulaney voice) we don't have time to unpack this right now. ] But he's a good man, and we won't cause you any trouble.

...Though it might be safer to assign him a floor separate from me, for his comfort.

[she squints at this question?? HELLO]

He gets a room that's not falling apart that also has running water. And he gets to eat food that you've cooked. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

[OF COURSE IT DOES SHE'S THE ONE WHO MADE THIS DEAL]

Of course it is. We don't know anything about this cursed place, much less this building you've claimed.

[glancing around the room, it's like he's looking for entry and exit points.]

Posting watch would be at least a start until we can get something a little more secure.

So is the Moralta. But I'd rather it was at my side than lying useless over there.

[but unlike the sword, Areadbhar has no sheath. imagining the lance snapping in twain from dimitri's grasp gives felix immediately complicated feelings.]

Are you planning to strengthen it?
boarwitness: (I try to keep going)

The broody-looking one said it was fine. I'm only here to fight him. [yjh, but i legit don't think they've exchanged names?????? on the other hand, he just might now be saying it because he's rude.

he scoffs at sylvain's remark, shaking his head easily.]


I don't owe you anything—really, I should be blaming you for almost getting us both killed with your stupid hero stunt.

[would he have escaped on his own? maybe! probably not, but it's schrodinger's reaper at this point, which means he can claim he was doing fine.

after a beat, felix looks around, and once the coast is clear, leans in slightly.]


And you should be thanking me for not revealing who that anonymous netherwork post was about. [his voice drops, low and grumbling.] Cherry pie.

[Joonghyuk, why would you do that. I would personally kill him myself because I would have died.]

It doesn’t bother me.

[The garlic is offending him a little which shows in his eyes and brows but not on his face.]

[Thinking about how Sylvain warned him Felix is very straightforward. It’s tracking. You can’t just ask people if they have self-loathing, Felix!!!]

Their time was coming to an end. If they didn’t have so many weaknesses, perhaps they would survive.

[I hope this was a bend and snap situation

Anyway, she has turned from a pale peach to an ashen grey in the blink of an eye. Her eyes go round enough to match her glasses, her frail hands clutch at her chest. Even her stance has become a lean, putting whatever distance between them she can while her feet remain nailed to the spot.]

Fukawa's throat seals shut. She wants to cry and she can't risk it. All she had wanted was to spend time with a nice boy. A handsome boy, one who didn't think she was a pariah, who didn't complain about her stutter, her hag-like face.

She bolts. The door slams against the wall with the force she hurls herself through it, but she doesn't stop. She can't stop running.

Funny. It sounds like there's a herd of footsteps just as impatient as her own, running up the stairs...]

[ that is a whole lot of words to explain absolutely nothing.

there's probably some implication here she's missing, but unfortunately for everyone involved, heewon's time spent with uriel and her own middling braincells means that she comes out of this with the entirely wrong takeaway (which is that felix and dimitri are an Item).

nodding, she says: ]


I see. [ she doesn't see. ] So I shouldn't get on your bad side, got it.

[ or make any sort of move on dimitri, even though she's not interested. ]

[ get ready sylvain, because he is about to get his mind blown (but unfortunately not in the good way and only in the bad confusing way).

since it's now obviously storytime, heewon sets her bowl of popcon to the side and turns so she's completely facing him. ]


There was this crazy guy called the Theater Master in the theater dungeon who took over Yoo Joonghyuk's body. To get him out, we had to enter a bunch of different movies and make sure they played out with good endings.

[ or in most cases, that they survived long enough to even reach the ending, but she doesn't need to weigh sylvain down with that. ]

If the ending was good [ highly subjective ] then we got kicked out of the movie and allowed to keep going through the dungeon to reach Yoo Joonghyuk. There were all sorts of different movies, from J*rassic Park to T*tanic.

[ upon hearing that there's a refuge for restless (and that there's free food, most importantly), mo ran goes and check it in person, leaving his teacher behind for he doesn't enjoy such busy places. while he may not be partial to the idea, because such a large gathering of people can be an army as well as a bigger target, it is worth it to check it out and possibly meet more experienced people who can share some knowledge of this place with him. so people may notice a really tall young man, dressed in a black hanfu, wandering about with his hands behind his back and looking around. ]

a. free food??
[ he approaches wherever they're cooking the stew with almost sparkling eyes, noticing they even have bread --he hasn't eaten anything like that in a really long time. ]

Is it really for free...? Shouldn't I do anything to repay the kindness?

[ he asks to whomever is close enough to him as he's handed a bowl of it and he cradles it in his hands like it's precious, only lacking a wagging tail for how happy about it he is, making no mystery about it. ]

b. what is this movie you talk about?

[ the most he's ever seen were puppet shows and, even then, he never managed to watch it to the end because he was always kicked away for being a beggar.

so while slurping onto his stew, with wide eyes he looks at the movies, unsure what it is he's really watching. ]


Is it this world's version of a magic scroll? Are those someone's memories?

[ he inquires curiously, getting a little too close to the person next to him, shoulder to shoulder and speaking quietly since everyone seems so enraptured. in his world he could see something similar only if someone had recorded their life on a scroll and sealed it through powers. who knows who this belongs to? with all the people who are dying there --he scrunches up his nose at blood spills like a fountain out of a young man--, there surely are a lot of candidates who could've recorded their last will. ]

c. wildcard
[ the big puppy that he is, he'd be extremely happy to interact with anyone! he brought pear blossom wine, care to try it? ]

[ He's mostly joking, because who would care this much over a broken elevator... but it's funny just to see this guy's reaction. ]

Even if that's the case, what if I decide I want to take the easy way up? Don't tell me you'd rather take the stairs forever.

[ Without missing a beat, Tartaglia answers her as-a-matter-of-factly: ]

Oh, the elevator is broken, so I thought I'd go up this way. [ he shrugs. ] Is that not allowed?
