( 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.

[ she eats the dumplings because of course she does, yjh is a shockingly good cook and she's not about to pass up an opportunity to eat food made by him, but somehow she keeps ending up with all the spicy ones?

her mouth is on fire, someone send help.

for the life of her, she cannot understand why one more dumpling appears every time she looks away—until she twists her head just in time to catch ginger hair and a smooth slide of a dumpling off someone's plate onto hers. ]


Hey! You're the one putting all the spicy dumplings on my plate.
lackluster: (pic#16057927)

i had to so you'd tag me

[personal profile] lackluster 2022-11-08 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Who, me? Those are fighting words.

[ Ever the picture-perfect representation of innocence, Tartaglia just smiles at her. Next time she looks at her plate, the dumpling is gone. ]

Where's your proof?
executory: (pic#16020586)

hehe continues bullying you until the end of time uwu

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-08 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
The proof is in my mouth!

[ which....she opens her mouth and points at the inside with her chopsticks. not very classy of her but she's not exactly a classy woman so it's fine. whatever great first impressions she might make will immediately be ruined by the rest of the orvs so she might as well ruin it herself. ]

It's on fire! At least get me some water if you're going to give me all your dumplings.
lackluster: (pic#16057974)

you bully me basically every day :'(

[personal profile] lackluster 2022-11-08 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ He isn't bothered by the lack of class. If anything, that makes him laugh. ]

I don't think that counts as proof, but... [ He's going to be a good boy and bring her the entire pitcher of water. ] Here.

[ Time to dump more spicy dumplings on her plate while he's at it. ]

:) :) :)

[ okay, she'll forgive childe his many (one) transgressions now that he's brought her some water. she pours herself a glass and chugs it, and then pours another. it doesn't do much to relieve the heat scorching her mouth, but at least it's something.

lucky him she's momentarily distracted from his further shenanigans. ]


Seriously though, why did that jerk Yoo Joonghyuk have to put so much spice into these? Does he really hate us that much?

[ the answer is probably yes. ]
lackluster: (pic#16057945)

:'( :'( :'( :'(

[personal profile] lackluster 2022-11-08 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ While she asks all these questions, Tartaglia pops a spicy dumpling in his mouth so casually. He munches on it just fine but the way he's holding the chopsticks is more problematic. ]

Hm? Was he the angry guy in the apron?

[ He has no idea who this person is but he nods anyway. ]
executory: (pic#16020586)

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-08 03:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ when will someone teach childe how to use chopsticks properly...

but she gestures towards yjh with her own chopsticks, nodding in affirmation. ]


Yeah, the guy in the cute pink apron. [ maybe she should take a pic for posterity. ] He doesn't usually cook and when he does it's pretty good.

[ but wait....hang on..... ]

If you don't know Joonghyuk, does that mean you're friends with someone else living here?
lackluster: (pic#16057927)

[personal profile] lackluster 2022-11-08 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
The food is pretty good. I'll give him that.

[ Well, there's someone using chopsticks in front of him right now so he's definitely Watching. And taking notes.

So you can point at people with chopsticks too, huh... Or so he thinks. (Bad habits are forming.) ]


Hm? Sooyoung invited me. The owner of the same corporation this building belongs to. Do you know her?
executory: (pic#16013334)

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-10 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ sooyoung....damn, that woman is more outgoing than heewon realized. good for her?? (no it's because she's greedy and wants money.) this guy seems nice enough anyway, so it was probably the right move.

when will heewon realize this is the guy who wants to fight dokja? hopefully never. ]


Yeah, we're part of the same company. Something like coworkers.

[ she'd say friends, but like yoo joonghyuk she isn't sure that han sooyoung likes using that word. ]

She's not too bad as long as you don't get on her bad side.
lackluster: (pic#16057937)

[personal profile] lackluster 2022-11-10 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Can't wait for the day everyone finds out Sooyoung invited a kind-of-a-bad-guy type of person, but today won't be that day. For now. ]

Yeah? She seems nice enough, even if she has a bad side.

[ Honestly, as long as no one is as bad as Signora, he's good. He can't stand catty individuals like her. ]

So you're coworkers, huh. She's not your boss?

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-11 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ it's fine, she does this all the time. half the orvs are ready to commit murder at any given point in time what's another guy to add to the mix?

heewon does not know this. heewon is convinced that this guy offloading spicy dumplings onto her place is just another ordinary guy. ]


Nah. That guy over there takinc pics of Yoo Joonghyuk's my boss. [ with a point of her thumb towards dokja, just in case. ] He's pretty nice as far as bosses go, except he doesn't pay nearly enough.

[ also he dies way too much, but that's neither here nor there when they're all supposed to be dead here.

she looks at his clumsy chopsticks curiously, then points towards the kitchen with her own chopsticks. ]


We have forks if you wanna use those instead.
lackluster: (pic#15963842)

[personal profile] lackluster 2022-11-12 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's a good thing Dokja isn't wearing his white trenchcoat when Tartaglia looks over his way. One glance from head to toe, and then his attention is back on Heewon. ]

You should ask him for a raise. You could do it nicely, or you could threaten to beat him up. That works most of the time.

[ He says that so casually. ]

I want to get used to chopsticks so I'm trying to avoid forks. Got any tips?

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-16 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ haha, this guy sure is funny. hard to say if he's being serious or not but it's enough to prompt a small laugh out of her. ]

I've already tried both ways. It never works.

[ but she doesn't seem to mind if the fondness in her gaze as she looks over at dokja one more time is any indication. one day she'll get him.....for now they can do an impromptu chopsticks lesson. ]

But sure, I can help.

[ hopefully he doesn't mind her invading his personal space since she's about to reach out (after she sets her own chopsticks and plate down) to carefully rearrange his hand around his pair. ]

Start by holding them like that.
lackluster: (pic#16057947)

[personal profile] lackluster 2022-11-18 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
It doesn't work? Maybe you need to be more firm with him.

[ While he tries to think of ways to help with her money problems, he lets her come into his personal space no problem. It doesn't bother him at all. If anything, he pays close attention to how she's positioning his fingers. ]

Oh. So I was holding them wrong all this time. No wonder I could never figure it out. [ He tries to "open" the chopsticks. ] ... Not that it makes this any easier, but it feels better somehow.

What's next?
