[ Maybe one day he’ll learn of your ghosts, Dimitri. And… Yeah? That is a sign of being unwell, young sir.
He thinks. Niah barks before he goes into play position, upper body low and tail up. ]
It’s been a while since I saw someone receive a proper grave. [ He’s okay, but… ] While the point of this game, I hate to see someone’s suffering and tragedy turn into entertainment.
I also dislike how conveniently this place takes control of our senses. I had wanted to leave execution once I saw enough, but I was frozen still.
[ it's been a very long weekend, but it helps to be able to play with a dog. a wolf. a wolf dog. he smiles briefly as he roughhouses with niah a bit, pushing his hands through his fur. ]
That is the whole point of our being here, isn't it? Entertainment.
[ there is a sour edge to his voice, tempered only by doggo. ]
...I despise it. These places twist people, and force us to watch the results—whether it is corpses, trials, executions. It harnesses the ugliest emotions and turns them into some... drama to watch unfold.
[ His expression grows dark as disdain festers, until it boils over. His tone is controlled as usual, but there's such intense loathing and animosity bleeding with every word. It comes from a personal place. ]
I have no plans to become another puppet for otherworldly beings. No matter how powerful, this hotel and its mastermind will fall.
[ Dog is really helpful during times of rage. Too bad Joonghyuk doesn't partake. ]
[ the way his face turns stormy and dark with hatred is something startlingly familiar to him. it's enough to make dimitri's expression turn shuttered too; he closes his eyes, willing himself not to get lost in the same feelings.
the dog helps. ]
...Yes.
[ it is always about having enough time to turn things around. ]
In places like this, the cost of survival is always steep. Too steep. ...It only demands we tear this place down faster. [ for him, it's already killed one of his friends. it's too late to achieve an acceptable ending. but that doesn't mean he can give up, either. ]
[ Normally, Joonghyuk welcomes solidarity, appreciates it when the same emotions shines in others deep and intense, but there's something about Dimitri in specific... ]
You can go for a jog with Niah.
[ Niah barks and tackles Dimitri down happily at the sound of "jog." ]

his Brooding Thoughts are interrupted when niah jumps on him. dimitri is handily knocked over, startled into a laugh instead. ]
Okay, okay—there's no rush, my friend.
[ it's apparently walky time? he sets the conversation aside for now, speaking to joonghyuk, ]
Did you want to run with us? [ or is he being shooed away to jog with niah? ]

Why do you keep inviting me?
[ After the excitement, Niah will wait patiently now. ]
no subject
[ it's not that complicated ]
Also, he is your dog...?

You're being overly familiar with an extension of my soul.
