( OPEN ) AND THEY WERE ROOMMATES...?

[regression]

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.

[ she will also eat this weird tomato popcorn.

she's making a face as she eats it. ]

[paraselenes]

[ oh, the benefits of having your taste buds burnt off by trauma. he shoots her a curious look over their fruity-savory popcorn. ]

Is it not to your liking?

[declass]

It is unique.

[ that is obviously a complaint, but she's still eating it anyway. ]

You don't think so?

[paraselenes]

[ he had to pick up on how things taste a la context clues, but even with her mild reaction, he can tell it's Bad. ]

It's... interesting. But I don't mind it.

[ he can eat the rest if she hates it. ]

Though maybe it can be improved somehow...

[declass]

[ no, it's fine. even if rosa hates something, she won't waste food. she continues to eat it. ]

Maybe... admittedly, I don't eat this often. I'm not quite sure what would be good to pair it with.

[paraselenes]

[ rosa is such a good girl ): ]

Mm, I'm no expert either.

[ He probably doesn't even know what popcorn is, actually. ]

Maybe we could try it with some of the others? [ a popcorn medley, if you will ]

[regression]

It'll taste better with more salt.

[ As all things do... But he is aware that isn't the best of the flavors he made with the popcorn, which is why he isn't eating it. He will have his simple salted popcorn, thank you. ]

[declass]

[ she will wordlessly reach for the salt then.

but after a long moment, ]

What is it supposed to taste like?

[regression]

Tomatoes.

[ Which is... wild... And the safer pick is to make it taste like ketchup instead, but it does taste more like tomatoes. ]

[declass]

[ ON PURPOSE.... okay.

she puts more salt on it. holds out the shaker to him. ]

Did you make all of this yourself?

[regression]

[ Taking the shaker, he salts his popcorn a bit more. ]

I did. The other two are useless for things like this.

[ Truth is, he wouldn't let them into the kitchen, anyway. ]

[boarwitness]

It's always snacks with you.

[declass]

It would be a shame not to eat what's offered.

[ please, take some tomato popcorn. ]

[boarwitness]

[he takes some and pops it in his mouth

and frowns, but does NOT spit it out]

It needs salt.

[declass]

I'm sure that's all it needs...

[ she doesn't think salt will save it. but she'll reach out to grab it. ]

[boarwitness]

Here, I'll do it.

[hello? rude?? he just snatches the salt before she can reach it, and goes to town on the popcorn.

salt still in hand, he tastes another piece.]

Hmph.

[NO COMMENT]

[salvageable]

It's disgusting, right?

[ HE'S IN A BAD MOOD NOW COS HE ATE SOME. ]

[declass]

It's...

[ hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ]

Possibly an acquired taste.

[salvageable]

I think I'm going to be sick.

[ He is being so fucking dramatic. ]

Anyone who can eat this should be labeled a psychopath.

[regression]

You're being dramatic.

[ CALLS HIM OUT. ]

[salvageable]

What possessed you to make something like this?

[ FEELS PERSONALLY VICTIMIZED ]

[philandery]

[ it's a cute face, heh (PLATONIC AND UNPROBLEMATIC) ]

Better, or worse than dried rabbit?

[ he'd love to hear her professional critique! ]

[declass]

Well. You can make many uses of the rabbit.

[ versus this, which has no uses, other than horrify dokja apparently. ]

[philandery]

That's true...

...Is it really that bad?

[ he makes a grabby hand motion. pass over the popcorn, please! he'll simply have to see for himself ]

[declass]

[ she'll hand the poptomato over. ]

Well... it may be an acquired taste. It just so happens that I have not acquired it.
