( 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.

[the same mind... socializing to get to know what everyone is like. but also for other reasons. Uriel's long white feathery wings rustle a little against her own back. ]

A bowl of stew will help as well. Yoo Joonghyuk is quite an excellent cook if you haven't tried any yet! [ in the meantime, she's going to drape the blanket gently over ruby's shoulders. ]

cw implied eating disorder

[appeale]

[ please GOD let those just be some kind of bird person wings she CANNOT take the stress of Catholic trauma in this place!! she is Not Perceiving It!!! ]

He is? —Ah, thank you very much, signora... [ she wraps the blanket around herself like a shawl while she steels herself for Yoo Joonghyuk fangirl mode yet again: ] Anyway, I'm not surprised! Signor Joonghyuk always seems like he would be good at anything!

[ she's not eating that fucking food if she can help it. not because she has any doubts that it's some kind of infallible protagonist-tier quality, since that seems to be the blessed person that Yoo Joonghyuk is, but... if she eats in this situation, she won't be able to keep it down. she's sure of it. ]

[reignite]

[ some bird person with wings and a dimly lit halo, most definitely. yeah, of course. don't perceive, ruby. what you don't know can't hurt you(?) ]

My name is Uriel, it's nice to meet more people. [ hmmm... there's a little tinge of jealousy at the fangirling. weird. she tries to brush it off. ]

Yes, but... Dokja is quite great too! [ !!!! ]

[appeale]

[ some bird person with wings and a dimly lit halo who is named Uriel. ahhh, she's so glad that she hasn't been eating; it means there's nothing in her stomach when it turns, nowhere for the nausea to go. the name rings a bell not because of true Catholic scripture, but pop culture — Uriel is usually portrayed as a merciless angel, right? the angel of repentance. great. cool. at least she knows never to let her guard down around this one. ]

I don't know Dokja too well yet! But he has been very kind to me. [ even if it's extremely suspicious how everyone else talks about him. ] Are you a friend of theirs, Signora Uriel?

[ or is the word "friend" off-limits for this one too... what is wrong with these people honestly!!! ]

[reignite]

[ oh, to be famous and familiar to another that isn't her fellow Constellation and Incarnation allies. of course, her attention is more focused on the topic of Dokja, a favorite topic of the archangel's. ] He's amazing.

And oh, I like to think that I am... [ which she grows a bit sheepish, a little embarrassed about. a much different reaction compared to Yoo Joonghyuk surely. ] I have been following their story for some time. Though, I've been sponsoring Jung Heewon! She's an incredible and powerful person, that Incarnation of mine.

[ two of Uriel's favorite people to gush about: Kim Dokja and Jung Heewon. ]

[appeale]

[ in any other situation, Uriel would probably seem like the closest to a normal person within that circle, and it would be a little ironic when she's clearly the least human... but actually, it's weirder that Uriel is so sweet and cheerful when the rest of them are all such psychopaths? somehow, this is more unnerving than another Yoo Joonghyuk would have been. ]

I've just met Signora Heewon too— [ Rudbeckia startles, a hand flying to her mouth. ] Ah, wait! I'm so sorry, you gave me your name and I completely neglected to introduce myself...!

[ she crosses one of her legs over the other and places a foot forward, bent slightly at the waist in a simple curtsey, skirts fanned out and golden hair spilling over her shoulders when her head bows. ]

My name is Lady Rudbeckia de Borgia. But I'd like to be friends, so please just call me Ruby! [ straightening from the curtsey, her fingers twist in the fabric of her skirts, the stunning picture of a nervous and demure lady. ] Um, is that too forward? I don't recognise the name from scripture, but you must be an angel, so maybe I should be more worshipful...

[ as much as she really would like to pretend she hasn't noticed a thing, everyone knows she's the daughter of Pope Borgia. it would be strange if she didn't pay attention to a literal Archangel, canonised or not. ]

[reignite]

[ the archangel certainly has a bubbly and sweet air about her, despite a rather strange pressure with her presence. not exactly suffocating, but there is the slightest of notable pressure in the air. a weight that seems controlled. it would be beneath her if Uriel wasn't about to keep a leash on her status.

at the introduction, she merely smiles again in reply. ] Ruby, then. You need not apologize. I am mostly known by my aliases, such as the Demon-Like Judge of Fire, or the Archangel of Conflagration. But as friends, you are free to refer to me by my true name Uriel as you are already.

[ after all, those names often come up from time to time. however, since people here are to room in the same housing, better she offer her name rather than her modifiers. ] You are fine as is!

So long as you do not mean any harm to my companions, it's alright. [ which it goes for every new face coming into this complex. but with those words there, it's a particular heat that comes with danger, a sharp glint in her eyes. this place's weird effect with jealousy is Not helping. ] I am merciless when it comes to judgment.

[ ...but! for now, things are okay! so she smiles in her earlier friendly manner. as far as she can tell, ruby seems harmless! much more than the other clearly more combative sorts that could literally pose a threat to her friends. so she probably doesn't need to worry about anything here. ] I look forward to getting to know you, Ruby!
