( 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.

[yjh did???? no. of course he did.

now that she's not trying to snatch one of his, he at least answers the question.]


I bought one, and I earned one.

[a dawning realisation]

You want to spar?

[he's seriously considering if they can just clear the living room now]

[ help we're really gonna ruin this movie night with a swordfight

she should probably be more aware of their surroundings and the whole reason for hosting this housewarming - to foster good feelings! to be welcoming! to get to know one another! - but unfortunately she is spurred forward by the ghost of jealousy present, and a little spar sounds like the perfect idea right now. ]


How else am I gonna know how good you are? But I would have to borrow someone's sword first.

[ right back to square one ]
boarwitness: (Don't need no one else)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-08 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph. Better go borrow one, then.

[he flicks his head towards yjh's kitchen utility sword. go on.]
executory: (pic#16020586)

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-08 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ wow. what a miser. ]

But you have two swords. [ points to felix's TWO (!!) SWORDS (!!!) ] He only has one. It makes more sense for you to lend one.
boarwitness: (No I don't need no help)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-08 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
No.

I don't know you. Why would I trust you with my swords?

[he shrugs.]

Once you have one, though, I'll fight you right away.

[ ugh!!!

she throws up her hands and wanders off to accost yjh. DON'T GO ANYWHERE FELIX. ]

[off she goes

in preparation, he draws his nicer sword, and inspects the edge. oh yeah. ready to rumble.]
executory: (pic#16013338)

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-08 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ comes back like five minutes later with NO SWORD :( ]

That jerk wouldn't give me his sword. [ for good reason but she's still mad about it. ] But as soon as I get a sword, I'll make sure to find you.
boarwitness: (No I don't need no help)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-08 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[what a jerk!! he seems personally affronted at this denial of swords. his sword is less important than his, so it shouldn't be a problem?]

Just take it when he's not looking.
executory: (pic#16020586)

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-08 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ that would be a great suggestion except: ]

Have you ever tried that? It's like he has eyes on the back of his head. He always knows when someone's coming.

[ stupid gary stu protag powers. :/ but with chances of a nice spar gone and her jealousy still bubbling around inside her, she takes a seat on one of the blankets instead.

maybe she can drill this guy for info instead... ]


So how long have you been fighting with swords anyway?
boarwitness: (I can sabotage me by myself)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-08 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Does he. [interesting. getting in his blind spot would be difficult, then. what a good challenge to shoot for.

as for the swords...]


All my life. You?

[ i hope hei rolls a nat 1 when felix tries to sneak up on yjh ]

Hmmm, a couple of years? [ wait. ] And then a few more years after that.

[ damn, why is regression so confusing. ]

I was a bartender before that.
boarwitness: (Can't look back)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-10 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
A bartender-turned-swordswoman. Not exactly a common path.

Are you a mercenary, then?
executory: (pic#16013334)

[personal profile] executory 2022-11-11 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I only work for one guy.

[ said with a smile and a jerk of one thumb towards dokja, who is currently snapping a pic of yjh in his cute pic apron. ]

Is that what you are, a mercenary?
boarwitness: (No I don't need no help)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-12 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
[why is he taking a photo of that...........

but he shakes his head.]


No. Just a piece on a battlefield. [that's also a mercenary, hello? which he must realize, because he clarifies:] Part of the Kingdom's army. Not that that matters, anymore.

[ 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: (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?
executory: (pic#16013336)

[personal profile] executory 2022-12-01 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh good idea! no point in getting hurt (or getting other people hurt) accidentally if they can avoid running into things (or people) in the first place. she joins him in clearing out an area, pushing tables and the occasional scattered blanket away from the center.

when that's done, she turns back to face him, an open and eager smile on her own face. (is she still jealous of his two swords? yeah, but it's fine, she'll live.) her borrowed sword is held firmly in her grasp in front of her, an easy set to her posture that does seem to lend weight that she's been doing this for years. ]


Ready whenever you are.
boarwitness: (But it's not that simple)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-12-01 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[everyone else in this lounge is literally getting exiled to the perimeter because the two of them want to have a fight. it's fine.

there's a moment that hangs in the air between them, once they've both claimed their readiness, as he watches her body, poised and ready, clearly experienced, for movement—and when nothing comes forth immediately, doesn't hesitate to make the first move himself.

keeping his strikes short and sweet with the distance, he slashes down, an easy block for her. he's interested to see her speed and strength, though, so it's more a testing of the waters than anything else.]
