( 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.

[ upon hearing that there's a refuge for restless (and that there's free food, most importantly), mo ran goes and check it in person, leaving his teacher behind for he doesn't enjoy such busy places. while he may not be partial to the idea, because such a large gathering of people can be an army as well as a bigger target, it is worth it to check it out and possibly meet more experienced people who can share some knowledge of this place with him. so people may notice a really tall young man, dressed in a black hanfu, wandering about with his hands behind his back and looking around. ]

a. free food??
[ he approaches wherever they're cooking the stew with almost sparkling eyes, noticing they even have bread --he hasn't eaten anything like that in a really long time. ]

Is it really for free...? Shouldn't I do anything to repay the kindness?

[ he asks to whomever is close enough to him as he's handed a bowl of it and he cradles it in his hands like it's precious, only lacking a wagging tail for how happy about it he is, making no mystery about it. ]

b. what is this movie you talk about?

[ the most he's ever seen were puppet shows and, even then, he never managed to watch it to the end because he was always kicked away for being a beggar.

so while slurping onto his stew, with wide eyes he looks at the movies, unsure what it is he's really watching. ]


Is it this world's version of a magic scroll? Are those someone's memories?

[ he inquires curiously, getting a little too close to the person next to him, shoulder to shoulder and speaking quietly since everyone seems so enraptured. in his world he could see something similar only if someone had recorded their life on a scroll and sealed it through powers. who knows who this belongs to? with all the people who are dying there --he scrunches up his nose at blood spills like a fountain out of a young man--, there surely are a lot of candidates who could've recorded their last will. ]

c. wildcard
[ the big puppy that he is, he'd be extremely happy to interact with anyone! he brought pear blossom wine, care to try it? ]

It's just stew. Don't go making a big deal out of it.

[this is not the cook. this is a random guy with two swords.]

[personal profile] zhanmadao 2022-11-14 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ mo ran smiles at him like he would to a child, eyes amused. only people who never risked experiencing starving would say a hot stew is not a big deal. ]

Thank you for the food then. [ he says, to nobody in particular, but his attention is soon caught by the swords. how unlucky that he didn't manage to bring his own here. ]

Do you use them both at the same time?

[ or else what's the point of carrying double the weight and possibly not being as agile when it comes to fighting. ]
boarwitness: (Or they'll call me a quitter)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-16 11:33 am (UTC)(link)
What? [oh! swords! he shakes his head.] No. Just one.

[why indeed would someone carry two if they weighed him down??? 🙃]
zhanmadao: (Default)

[personal profile] zhanmadao 2022-11-17 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
...oh. [ mo ran can't help looking a little disappointed at that, nose scrunching up as he slurps up the stew. but a moment later he smiles, almost bratty. ]

That means you should give me one of them, so I can honor it.

[ he needs a sword, would you have guessed? ]
boarwitness: ('Cause it just makes me want to cry)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-17 11:56 am (UTC)(link)
[his brows knit, lips turning downward.]

No.

Get your own.

[he crosses his arms. no free handouts for moochers!!!]
zhanmadao: (Default)

[personal profile] zhanmadao 2022-11-20 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh, well. he would've regretted not trying! but this man's stern upside-down smile almost makes him laugh with how serious it is, and he hides his expression behind a spoonful of stew. ]

I would happily get my own, but I don't know where to look.

Surely a skilled senior like you could help me out!

[ coaxing is the next step, even if honestly he's doing it more to see the stern expression turn even more displeased. ]
boarwitness: (I can sabotage me by myself)

[personal profile] boarwitness 2022-11-23 11:32 am (UTC)(link)
[UGHHHHH

he gets his wish, because felix's frown only deepens.]


Why would I go shopping with someone I just met? No. Just go to the shops and find someone there to help you.

[why does everyone keep trying to take his swords anyway!!!]

[The closeness doesn't seem to bother him, but he does little more than continue to stand like some kind of dark, cryptid sentinel.]

It's a film, [he says in a level, quiet voice.] Like a play, but not in real time. It has been performed previously, but may be watched again and again.

[ he's seen too much in two lifetimes to find D even remotely creepy no matter his aura. quite the enjoyable guy, instead.

he hums under his breath in acknowledgement. ]
That is a really good explanation... you are gifted with words. [ being able to explain such a complicated thing to a dummy such as mo ran is praiseworthy. ]

So those are all actors... Do they make each other bleed with magic? [ the alternative is them actually hurting each other and then healing... which is rather unappealing. ]
damnpire: (pic#12040332)

[personal profile] damnpire 2022-11-15 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[This… himbo-sounding compliment. He does not think he is good with words necessarily, but he will accept the compliment without argument.]

It’s an artistic illusion. The blood and wounds are fake.

[The idea of them getting injured and then healing is hilarious, though.]

Oh, please help your self! It's really good.

[ there's a pause, and she points at the tomato flavored popcorn. ]

I would stay away from that one though. The taste is a little odd...

[ he might think it tastes fine, actually, but she's a tomato popcorn anti now ]

[personal profile] zhanmadao 2022-11-14 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ his smile becomes even larger if possible and he starts digging in, chewing enthusiastically. it is hard to be mindful of his manners when he feels like he hasn't eaten decently in a decade, but he does his best.

his gaze follows the direction in which she points though and he tilts his head, his ponytail following the motion. ]


It... looks a little odd. Is it a normal dish around here?

[ he's never seen anything like it, so he turns to her with curious eyes, almost childlike. he's finding out a lot of interesting things in this place. ]

[personal profile] declass 2022-11-18 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It is the kind of thing that people eat during this type of entertainment.

[ the films, she means. she looks over at whatever one is playing just to clarify though. ]

It's not really meant to be a full meal, but more of a snack? Although like anything, you can become full if you eat enough of it...
zhanmadao: (Default)

[personal profile] zhanmadao 2022-11-20 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh-- like tanghulu!

[ that's the first thing that comes to mind and he nods to her. ]

Have you ever had that? Wild apples covered in caramel. We would consider that a snack for gatherings like this.

[ he keeps slurping on his stew. ] Do you live here?
declass: (pic#16053693)

[personal profile] declass 2022-11-29 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
I have not, but it does sound rather delicious. It shouldn't be too difficult to find apples, so maybe we can make it ourselves?

[ at the question though, she nods. ]

I do. I only just moved in and don't know everyone here though.
zhanmadao: (Default)

[personal profile] zhanmadao 2022-11-20 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...oh. that is just. splendid. ]

Do you accept promissory notes?

[ listen, he just arrived, he has been doing his best. ]

With how amazingly delicious this stew is, I will pay for it handsomely once I have earned enough! [ when in trouble, always resort to praising the cook. ]

I'd rather owe money than favors. Especially to someone with your look in the eyes.

[ he smiles but it doesn't reach his own eyes. he likes to think he's learnt to read people in two lifetimes and joonghyuk looks like the kind of person you wouldn't want to owe, because it will surely bite you in the ass. so he will just earn enough. ]

I did read the notice board and they sound like quite the experience... have you faced any monsters?
