( 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.

[Sylvain, no...

A tricky admiration. He sees. Sylvain doesn't seem like a complicated man at first, but this answer says a bit otherwise. Someone isn't just all charm and no brains.]


I'm sure he understands.

[It's a declaration Sylvain is free to object to if wanted. It's only an assumption. He's quiet for a long moment.]

Not exactly.

[Yeah. Wait--no.]

No. I was trapped in the dream of a young woman who had been bitten by one. She finally confronted me to try to get me to kill her since there wasn't anything else I could do.

[there's something about sylvain's demeanor that gives him pause, and his lips purse, taking in a measure of the man for a moment.]

Fine.

But tell me what really happened, if it's not what I think.

[he'll give sylvain just enough rope to hang himself with.]

[ thanks felix ur a pal 😌

sylvain sighs, then looks around to make sure there are no eavesdroppers. ]


...I was attacked in the maze. As in, someone went after me with a weapon.

[ he holds out his palm—there's an unmistakably fresh scar over it. if that's not enough proof, he's got some barely-scabbed over cuts under his shirt as well. a nick on his temple (a crescent which suggests a particularly vicious scratch of a nail), which he gestures to next. ]

I managed to get away, but, well. Seems like they weren't quite done with me.

[ hence the network post. ]
boarwitness: (Don't need no one else)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-13 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
You were attacked?

[something rolls over in his memory, a spike of adrenaline that hadn't come from him, his heart racing at rest. he'd ignored it at the time as a fit of mysterious body chemistry in this cursed place, or a remainder of his training earlier in the day. but some things, he's fast realising, are simply not coming from him.

instead of discussing any of that, though, he focuses primly on the conversation at hand.]


Why are you trying to hide it, then? [and, because he can't help himself:] This is exactly why you need to keep training.
philandery: (pic#15159460)

[personal profile] philandery 2022-11-13 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ sylvain's hiding it because it's nobody's business, and because he hasn't decided whether or not he's going to out toko over it. on one hand, he should warn his friends if there's any actual danger, but on the other... when she'd run into him earlier, she'd been afraid of him.

it's not that he thinks felix would do anything drastic in retaliation, but that he's not sure he wants to point fingers at a teenage girl, when she doesn't seem to have any control over her alter ego. (best to simply avoid her altogether for now... if it's even possible in this building. give him strength.)

his hand drops to his side again. ]


Sure, but sometimes training only goes so far.

[ they've been training all their lives. maybe not sylvain so much, but definitely for the last half-decade. ]

Anyway, I'm fine. [ to answer felix's first question, which is not really much of an answer at all. typical sylvain. ]

[ he raises his with a smile. cheers! ]

Me too. Used to do this all the time back home—as a student, anyway.

[ not as much time to enjoy tea when you have a war to fight... ]

Are you—or were you a student yourself?

[ she seems pretty young, right about annette's age when she'd first started out at the officers academy. ]

[that wasn't the question he asked, sylvain?? huffing a breath, he crosses his arms. sylvain may say he's fine, but there's still more at work, here—and felix is not one to drop it that easily.]

Who was it.

[there's got to be a good reason he's hushing it up—in a house with limited residents. out loud, felix starts walking through his reasoning.]

It's a girl, that much is clear. Someone people here would know. She fights with whatever she can get her hands on, and sometimes just her hands...

[ that's rough, buddy.... ]

There's still plenty to fight here, if you really miss it that much.

[ though....SPEAKING OF FIGHTING, here's yjh to begrudgingly lend heewon his sword. guess what!! they can fight now!!!! in front of god and tomato popcorn and this jaws movie still playing in the bg.

as long as they don't break anything, it's fine probably. though heewon looks way too excited about this. ]


Hey, did you still want to spar?

[ honestly felix is probably better but there's only one way to find out.... ]
boarwitness: (No I don't need no help)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-13 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
Must be that guy's [he points at yjh] favorites.

Are you living here, now?

[seems like everyone is, so it's a reasonable guess.]

[ Spicy dumplings bring people together in unexpected ways. Tartaglia offers a friendly smile. ]

You can call me Childe. What's your name?

[ Especially since this guy offered his fork... He's gotta know who he owes his gratitude to. ]
boarwitness: (It only makes me want to die)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-13 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
So you don't know how you died, either.

[incheresting]

Did you kill her before you came?
boarwitness: (Or they'll call me a quitter)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-13 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
So I've found. [because. he has been fighting. prettymuch nonstop. hehe!

but when heewon offers to spar, with yjh handing over That Sword, his expression changes, albeit minutely, to something approaching excitement. there's certainly a gleam in his eye. in fact, he's already drawing one of his two swords.]


Of course. Just make sure you don't make a mess.

[they are going to make a mess. but at least he's gently shoving tables and chairs out of the way a little for this.]

Ready?
boarwitness: (Or they'll call me a quitter)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-13 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
Felix.

It's pretty rare to meet someone else who actually enjoys spicy food. [he respects that.] Some people will eat anything, but not even bother to savor it. [he does not respect dimitri fire emblem.]

How long have you been in Stygia?

Oh, please help your self! It's really good.

[ there's a pause, and she points at the tomato flavored popcorn. ]

I would stay away from that one though. The taste is a little odd...

[ he might think it tastes fine, actually, but she's a tomato popcorn anti now ]

I am. He invited me to stay, and it's overall cheaper than living in a hotel.

[ hotel living was so expensive. why does capitalism still exist even in death? it's all a scam. ]

no she just thinks dokja had a skin disease

[personal profile] declass 2022-11-13 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... I want to say probably not. Although we didn't dig up every single one, so I can't be completely sure.

[ she just doesn't think so. it just felt like something meant to shake them up. ]

I was one, yes. Unfortunately, a nature disaster hit my city, so my school had to close.

[ she doesn't sound too upset while saying this, but her expression is a little nostalgic as she speaks. ]

But I was able to move to a good place after, and if I want to keep getting lessons there I can. It just isn't the same atmosphere as going to an actual school...

I didn't care for too much about spicy food before, but after living someplace where it's a staple in their cuisine, I learned to love it.

[ The way most of his favourite dishes involve Jueyun chili— nothing can compare. ]

As for how long, I want to say... maybe not more than a week or so? I'm sure there's a whole lot I need to learn about this place.

[ Besides the chopsticks. ]

[ sylvain could stand to be a less convoluted man. his internal state of being is TOO complicated... ]

I hope so. He can be pretty tough to read sometimes.

[ who can really say what's going on in the professor's head...

sylvain cants his head curiously at d's answer. ]
Oh? What're they like...?

[ not quite admired, or not quite indebted to, or both...? ]

[ he supposes the quickest way to get felix off his case is to offer enough grains of truth, that he won't go suspecting what's missing. ]

She referred to herself as Syo. It was dark so I didn't get a good look at her, but she used a pair of scissors. ...Shorter than me, but I guess that isn't really helpful.

[ he thinks those are reasonable details to supply. also, ]

She's strong, and fast. I had trouble shaking her off.

You're right. It only makes sense to have a working elevator. I'll see what I can do.
