( 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's no stranger to violence, but it's weird seeing bloodshed framed so vividly as a narrative gimmick. he withholds a grimace as {some teenager} gets violently stabbed by a {stock masked villain}. ]

It's... interesting.

[ he's cut off by another jumpscare. THERE WAS LITERALLY ONE JUST BEFORE! ]

What? They're dropping like flies!

[ WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS CAST! he glances over at heewon curiously. (wow, she kind of reminds him of felix... jk) ]

...You don't seem very fazed by any of this?

[ felix 2.0, at your service.....

she grins at his alarm when yet another jumpscare appears on the screen, though she has the good conscience not to rib him for it. they're strangers, she barely knows this guy, and he seems nice enough that she shouldn't hassle him right off the bat. ]


That's usually how it goes in horror movies. That way you're never sure who might die and who might live. It adds to the suspense.

[ maybe?? i'm too weenie to actually know anything about horror movies, goodbye. ]

But I used to watch a lot of movies as a kid. And then I had to be in a few. [ no thanks, kim dokja. ] The movie itself stops being scary once you have to live through what was in the movie.

[ is. is that how it works. ]

[ they're both on such good behavior with each other... sheds a single tear... ]

...So I see. Have you watched this one already?

[ sylvain about to ask for SPOILERS so he doesn't have another heart attack. ]

—Wait, you were an actress? What kind of movies did you appear in...?

[ WHAT? what does that even mean??? ]

[ throws dart i guess they're watching train to busan now, which i am going to have to google because i still haven't seen it. thankfully, my woes are delayed because now i can talk about orv spoilers! yay!!! ]

Not really an actress...

[ she looks a little sheepish at having mislead this poor man. ]

We [ with a wave to wherever hsy and kdj are currently loitering ] had to go inside a bunch of movies once to save that guy [ with a point at yjh in his cute pink apron ] from going crazy. It was as weird as it sounds.

[personal profile] philandery 2022-11-10 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ ALKSJFLA no more slasher flicks it's zombo time!! ]

...

[ he's certainly flabbergasted ]

Why was he going crazy...? Was the plot that bad, wherever he was trapped...?

[ he's still having trouble wrapping his head around this, and looks over very obviously to wherever yjh is scowling in his cute pink apron ]

...What kind of movies? How did you get out again...?

[ HE HAS SO MANY QUESTIONS! but feel free to ignore any/all of them. he just wants to know what it all means. ]

[ 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.

[ sylvain likewise picks up his bowl of popcorn and starts munching. also, he is obligated to say this about every adult wamen in this game, as my mouthpiece, but heewon's kinda cute.

he listens raptly... it barely makes any sense, if at all, but he nods along anyway to encourage her to keep going. ]


I'm surprise Joonghyuk even let him get away with it. [ seems the sort of guy impervious to any kind of external influence? like an iron wall and all that. ]

...So, save the day, win the girl, that kinda thing? [ movies are basically books but in 3D on the screen, he figures. ]

—Wait, just how big was this dungeon to fit so many sets?

[ what exactly makes a park jurassic? WHAT was so titanic?? ]

...And the Theater Master just... let you walk off after that?

[ saved from volleyboy obscurity by virtue of her gender.....

that's fine though, he can think she's cute (because he's right). she is too oblivious to even guess at his inner thoughts, still fully immersed in her own shoddy storytelling.. ]


I doubt he wanted to. [ let the dungeon master take over, that is. her glance flicks back over to yjh, a small frown growing on her face. ] But even he's not invincible, no matter how much he claims he is.

[ none of them are, and that's the sad truth!! why else would they all be down here, after all.... but that's too depressing to talk about now ]

The movie theater itself wasn't that big, similar to the one we have here. But it would transport you to a different place once you picked a movie, and wherever you ended up was way bigger than the movie theater itself.

[ she scratches her chin, thoughtful. ]

Kind of like how we all ended up here?

I see...

[ he looks over again at yjh too, sizing him up. suddenly struck by jealousy over how handsome he is... jk. (unless?) ]

Guess nobody is. If anything the ones who try to go it alone probably need the most help.

[ his gaze shoots over to wherever dimitri and felix are.

slight topic change but, ]
...So how long have all of you been friends for?

[ she seems to speak of them fondly enough, certainly with familiarity. it's nice to have familiar faces to depend on. ]

[ somewhere in the (near) distance, uriel is being pinged by this disturbance in the (jealousy) force.

but the topic change is a welcome one, causing her smile to widen in both good cheer and genuine emotion. ]


A couple years now?

[ given or take a few thousand depending on whose timeline and which person sylvain wants to talk to. but it's definitely only been a handful of years for her, because heewon is definitely the most normal of the orv bunch here. ]

I wouldn't even be around if it weren't for Kim Dokja. I owe him my life.
philandery: (pic#15159460)

[personal profile] philandery 2022-11-17 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she can smell it...

orv is wild, man, even if sylvain has no idea. he thinks they're just a collection of oddballs (positive). he swings his gaze to dokja this time, not bothering to mask his mild surprise. ]


Oh? I wouldn't have guessed it.

[ (assigns dokja normie-passing despite dokja being the richest and most op) ]

So he saved your life...?

[ (from their vibes, sylvain would expect heewon to be the one princess-carrying dokja to safety) ]

[ dokja looks like every other generic webtoon male, so that's fair. ]

Yeah, at the very beginning.

[ of the novel, but maybe she shouldn't tell this nice young man that she's supposed to be a fictional character in a book because that's kind of weird. she smiles, propping her chin in one hand. ]

He saved my life a few more times after that too but I also saved his, so we're about even now.

[ what they're not even in, though, is how many times she still deserves to punch his face in and tie him up for sacrificing himself. but that's a fun story for another time! ]

What about you? Are your friends from home here too?

[ she's seen him mingling about with a few people, but whether those are home friends or netherworld friends she can't say. ]

[ he hums, a smile flickering at the corner of his mouth. ]

Sounds a lot like my friendships, actually.

[ femblem 🤝 orv
dying (or nearly dying) for your homies ]


I do. See those two over there?

[ he gestures to dimitri and felix, nerding out over the sword of moralta in the latter's possession. (idk where claude is) ]

I've known them since they were both in the crib.

[ claude is busy whisking rosa off to a romantic beachside vacation—no.

but ooohhhhhh, good to know. she follows the point of his hand to gaze at the two men with interest. there's nothing readily apparent about the three of them that would link them all together. even their hair colors and hairstyles are different. ]


Does that mean you know a lot of embarrassing stories about them as a kid?

[ what else are childhood friends for if not spilling embarrassing stories left and right? ]

[ heh... sylvain immediately adopts a shiteating grin ]

You bet. They used to be inseparable, two peas in a pod. I guess it's not so different now, though they might act like it.

[ "they" being "felix the tsundere", actually... ]

They were both like my baby brothers. Felix would come crying to me whenever he got into a fight with Dimitri.

You got any siblings of your own?

[ heh. his shiteating grin fuels one of her own, and she leans even further in to better hear these tales of embarrassment and shame. two peas in a pod, one of them crying over the other? she really wouldn't have guessed. ]

Haha, people are always so much cuter when they're kids, huh?

[ one day she'll drop this info on felix when he least expects...... ]

As for me? Yeah, I had a younger brother. [ who was literally mentioned for like one day before they redacted him............. ] It's been a long time since I've seen him though so he's probably not around anymore.

[ thanks orv. ]
