PRE-W0: SUNDAY.

[malewife]

[ For some reason, Joonghyuk is here with Niah, who is a sparkly black wolf nerfed to the size of a medium dog. The wolf sniffs at the door, curious, while Joonghyuk is...

Himself. ]

They should have prepared the rooms before sending out "invitations."

[dms]

You'd think, right? But it only took a few days, so it wasn't so bad.

[ hi. kazu waves at them both! ]

So many of you have animal friends! I'm totally jelly!

[malewife]

You'd accept sleeping in the hotel lobby for a couple of days?

[ BAD SERVICE. ]

... You have. [ Tries to remember, then frowns deeply. ] Two smartphones.

[dms]

It's not my ideal vacation, but it could be worse! At least the place is intact and we aren't freezing!

[ the first few days in the prism sucked! ]

Sure do. One's from home, and the other's from the prism. I can't DM or text anyone outside of the hotel, though - which is what I was expecting, but it's still a little disappointing.

[malewife]

That is a low bar for a luxurious hotel.

[ ... ]

Are there games?

W0 : SUNDAY

[malewife]

[ Where is Kazunari?? They can be wherever he is. Niah yawns once before looking up at Kazu while Joonghyuk seems contemplative.

but then: ]

Execution is even more of a mockery than I expected.

[dms]

[ he's out in the courtyard, drawing in his notepad. ]

Mm... It's not that different from how the prism did it... it wasn't made into a movie or anything, but it still made the whole thing into a big spectacle.

[malewife]

[ you bitches love the courtyard for what ]

… Ours weren’t so styled, though the notification was ominous. What is annoying is that execution seems to be mandatory here.

[dms]

[ would you rather we hang out in the rooms upstairs ]

Mm, I heard some of you saying that it wasn't mandatory for you. I'm a little jealous, TBH... we had to be there every time, no matter what.

[malewife]

[ No. ]

Detestable… I may say it seems mandatory here, but there’s a chance that isn’t true. I didn’t have the luxury of leaving due to circumstances.

[ Because. Well. He attacked skeletons and got frozen. ]

What were executions like in this Prism?

W1 : MONDAY

[malewife]

[ Where in the Prism are they? Joonghyuk had told/demanded Kazunari to show him around. ]

[dms]

[ kazunari is going to be predictable and take him to... the art room!! one of his favorite spots!! ]

I used to come here to paint all the time. And some of it's still here! Look!

[ he pulls up a big painting of a japanese-style flower garden, with two mostly indistinct figures off to one side. it's a very nice oil painting! ]

Tada~! It's the gardens out by the meeting hall! I can take you up there in a bit, if you want, and you can tell me how I did.

[malewife]

[ ... Interesting. ]

This realm is strange. [ Maybe it's the air here, but. Hm. Judging a painting. ] Fine.

[dms]

Strange, but really interesting! I figure it's probs about the same for everywhere else we've all been, including the hotel.

Hehe. I spent a lot of time working on it! Oils take forever to cure, you know? But I wanted to do something like a memorial for Naryu and Kazumin - something besides the wall.

[malewife]

The locations I've been to were actual cities.

[ So he feels it's kind of different, but it's fine? ]

Some of the dead?

W2 : MONDAY

[malewife]

[ damn........

They are in Anhkeen's hookah bar and Joonghyuk is squinting and shifts his gaze to Kazunari who got transported with him here. Niah sneezes. For the effect, his figure is made up of Korean characters on white. They flow down like someone is scrolling through text. ]

[dms]

[ hm. if not for niah, kazunari would have no idea who this is. ]

...Whoa. This is not what I was expecting from the new place.

[ kneeling to get a better look at niah, hopefully they don't mind his cat features. ]

You okay? Should we leave so you can breathe better?

[malewife]

I didn't use the lounge here myself, but they stock useful vials.

[ Sometimes effects do that? Anyway, Niah does not mind cats. He seems fine after the first sneeze and barks in response. ]

[dms]

[ well okay, if he's fine! kazu will stand back up. ]

...Vials of what, exactly?

[malewife]

[ ... ]

... Muscle relaxants.

W3 : MONDAY

[malewife]

[ Wherever Kazunai is, Niah comes over to sniff him. But unlike his more friendly daemon, Joonghyuk leers. ]

Stay where you are.

[ As if that stops the stardust from falling. a memory plays. ]

[dms]

[ immediately he throws his hands up in surrender in spite of how much he wants to pet niah. ]

Okay, okay! I will!

[ ...but yeah, stardust isn't stopped by proximity. that memory... ]

...Sorry. I don't mean to pry, but I hope things worked out - or will, I guess?

[malewife]

[ Niah fortunately has padded over, so Kazunari can technically stay there? ]

... It's fine. She's fine.

[dms]

[ niah gets a wave then! and scritches, if allowed. ]

Good! That's a relief.

The memory thing really freaks you out, doesn't it? I'm sorry it's happening... It's not fair to anyone.

[malewife]

It isn't. If people wish to talk about their past, then they would.

These ridiculous settings don't need to force it onto us.
