[ they can be in the big dipper hall it's fine. same neighborhood!
tanhua smells a little like jin at the moment, it seems, but is tolerating the sniffing and tilts his head to nip once at niah's ear. two sparkledawg OCs do not steal reduced down to the size of golden retrievers. ]
Almost surprised the six of them didn't tear this place apart.
[ tanhua's retaliation is to smack him back with a tail or two, but it's harmless fluff compared to what he could actually do. this is fine. this is apparently how their souls just express companionship. ]
So well that they've shrunk. [ tsk ] Find your sword with him?
[ Getting smacked by tails only makes him shake with the tail in mouth. It's just playful tugs. They're regular animals now, though reminiscent of their owners. ]
[ The wolf tugs on Tanhua's tail one more time before coming over. Joonghyuk holds out the sword and Niah takes it in his mouth... It is big stick, though heavy, so not too long he puts it down. His coat, too, which just covers the wolf.
[ tanhua is waiting outside of the theater, it seems, having not come in when hua cheng's feet took him here. but there's nothing to report, and no way to even if there was. ]
A little like Suigetsu's execution in terms of fiasco.
... That execution was very much a mess despite combat aptitude.
[ He can't necessarily fault people trying their best to have better odds that their favorite lives. Niah had gone in, but he greets Tanhua with a look. ]
En, it was. More for outside interference than the lack thereof, which might be what the organizer of this particular game might be looking for with this format.
[ they'll have to see if all of them are like that. but tanhua tilts his head in response to the look, his own greeting. ]
... interesting. While we didn't know everything happening as Watchers, and we have some knowledge of mechanics here, being cast so deep in the dark is not something I have enjoyed.
I have no interest in roleplaying or exploring any of those avenues.
[ HAhahaHA. ]
It also leaves us with one less worry of you deciding to get into trouble. Trouble that would deliver you with broken wings, bones, and without a pulse. [ ... ] You don't have kitchen privileges, do you.
I've no pulse in the first place. [ semantics ] But point made. Any trips I make outside of this place will either be made against my choice, or will be when we've figured out how to put it out of business.
[ ... pff. ] No. I'm not sure any of us in our group do. I watched Rin speed make bao the other day just to try and beat the kitchen staff.
[ He isn't going to correct himself because Hua Cheng understands. ]
... We only need to survive, then we can raze this hotel. [ Joonghyuk has every intention to. Those words are said with all the hatred in his body. Anyway: ] I was told by Gemini that some do.
[ that's so much hatred. but hua cheng understands. ]
Making a bit of a habit of razing things that slight me, but may as well stick to what I'm good at. [ stop.
he tilts his head a little.
realizes that he's sulking. snorts. ]
I believe Lup mentioned something about having to feed people. She might be one of them, if you're looking for someone to help you gain longterm access.
[ After the meeting, Joonghyuk is still in Hua Cheng's room. Niah is also here, still just playing with Tanhua. Why do their daemons always have something to do with their owners just
[ their daemons are more normal than them. especially right now.
hua cheng cocks an eyebrow at him, moving to sit back on the lounge once everyone else is gone, since this is his room and he's never been respectful a whole day in his life. ]
We tore the Heavens down and unseated the emperor thereof shortly before I became a Watcher, and someone under my employ was killed during it all, so I had to deal with the fallout and start work on restoring the deceased's soul.
Rin came for training when I had the time. [ he taps under his own left one. ] And I had to replace Alberich's missing eye, as well.
[ the daemons are minding their own business. the grandpas are minding their own business. hua cheng is expecting some peace and quiet, for once, since he's not sure what the effect is just yet.
and then he gets smacked in the face, once again, by a yoo joonghyuk memory. much like the last time, he doesn't falter. he just continues their dance. ]
alberich is acting strangely. it may be nothing, with the way this week's effect is treating us, but something of note. so on top of someone sweeping through three of our rooms, one of us may have killed because of the shadows.
pick a case and cause them to fixate on it, if possible. maybe one of the wiwaldi ones - there are two remaining, and we're at their location this week.
it will. we need to gain some control of the flow of trial, in a way, so it doesn't get out of hand.
[ pre-curfew void of getting to places probably idk. ]
I saw. As I suspect many others have. [ annoyance, but acceptance. ] What a ridiculous thing to do the week before it's all over.
But let them come for me, if I'm to be a target - whether tonight or at trial doesn't matter to me. All it's done is give me further proof some individuals aren't to be trusted.
Depends, I suppose. There's, what, very few people here that will name someone with their full name? The two of you and Mikazuki? Anyone else?
[ because why would anyone bother to write that mouthful of a name? not him, that's for sure. ]
We're not to kill in excess, but that doesn't mean I won't seek retribution for it. Even at this point where we're so close to the end. The person in question would make a fine vote at trial.
[ he's going to start walking so he can herd yjh back to kdj. subtly. ]

there's a sigh, aggrieved, and he spreads his hands. ]
Raincheck for sparring with swords again until I get my hands on one. [ not a no for sparring in general, though. ] None in my room.

I know martial arts.
[ Tries again. ]

[ acceptable. high key roughhousing. ]

He will guard, I guess. ]

That was horrible.

She will want something in return.
no subject
no just being in the kitchen with him and lording it over yjh would be enough for hc actually. ]
She'll want conversation, probably. Use your charming personality.

[ Chooses Hua Cheng for clown. ]
W1 : MONDAY
stare at each other?? ]
Hua Cheng.
no subject
hua cheng cocks an eyebrow at him, moving to sit back on the lounge once everyone else is gone, since this is his room and he's never been respectful a whole day in his life. ]
Yoo Joonghyuk. Something else on your mind?
no subject
[ Something of a cough, but he swallows it down. There's... A frown??? As he feels what that is going back down his throat.
There's silence cause what the fuck is that. ]
This week's effect...
no subject
The flowers? [ considering he's had more than a couple stuck in his throat, today, and he knows flower language... ] What about it.
no subject
[ No flowers cause that's honest. Joonghyuk is ready to fight hanahaki personally, but— ]
If you have no plans to scout the new areas for the day, let me see your handwriting.
no subject
[ only when it doesn't inconvenience them, though. ]
Are you going to badger me for the next two months about my handwriting? Be grateful that the typewriters exist.
no subject
[ BE GRATEFUL? Joonghyuk has the deadest fucking look. ]
You haven't improved.
[ ASSUMES ]
no subject
but, also, hua cheng picks up a pillow and lobs it at him. ]
I've been busy.
no subject
[ Since after chasma. ]
no subject
Rin came for training when I had the time. [ he taps under his own left one. ] And I had to replace Alberich's missing eye, as well.
no subject
[ He's saying that as agreement, but also relieved that it sounds like Hua Cheng had accomplished what he needed. ]
A lot has happened.
W3 : MONDAY
They think that glass isn't here, so they're safe, but too bad. Stardust falls and a memory plays. ]
no subject
and then he gets smacked in the face, once again, by a yoo joonghyuk memory. much like the last time, he doesn't falter. he just continues their dance. ]
That was amateur of you. [ the dogs, obviously. ]
no subject
[ Since Hua Cheng saw that hey... He survived? Sure, he was summoned into the train instead of whatever void the dogs tried to drown him in.
Still.
He survived? ]
no subject
Did you get that idiot out, at least, without much more issue? He seems to need rescuing quite often.
[ stop dunking on kim dokja, hua cheng. ]
no subject
... He split his soul and, allegedly, these pieces being reborn across the galaxy.
[ So that's... Well. A no and Joonghyuk is rightfully pissed about it. ]
no subject
... of course he did. [ of course they are. ] Collecting them?
no subject
[ It just happened. ]
The him at this time must have wanted us to move on.
no subject
[ he understands that. ]
Do you need help from outside?
wk 3; friday
alberich is acting strangely. it may be nothing, with the way this week's effect is treating us, but something of note.
so on top of someone sweeping through three of our rooms, one of us may have killed because of the shadows.
no subject
But this will be trouble for us, anyway.
no subject
it will. we need to gain some control of the flow of trial, in a way, so it doesn't get out of hand.
no subject
We had talked about doing our checks ourselves, so that will help.
W6 : THURSDAY
The note.
no subject
I saw. As I suspect many others have. [ annoyance, but acceptance. ] What a ridiculous thing to do the week before it's all over.
But let them come for me, if I'm to be a target - whether tonight or at trial doesn't matter to me. All it's done is give me further proof some individuals aren't to be trusted.
[ y'all on your own for endgame ]
no subject
[ Which he's like... Sure. Whatever. Okay. ]
If you find out who did this, you won't do anything?
no subject
[ because why would anyone bother to write that mouthful of a name? not him, that's for sure. ]
We're not to kill in excess, but that doesn't mean I won't seek retribution for it. Even at this point where we're so close to the end. The person in question would make a fine vote at trial.
[ he's going to start walking so he can herd yjh back to kdj. subtly. ]
no subject
[ HE has his REASONS and it's not being close to others > convenience. ]
When I hear excess, I thought more not trying to kill everyone to avoid dying. If it's dramatic, the Nightman should be satisfied.
[ Why are you trying to herd him when he has so much ADRENALINE and PARANOIA. ]
