malewife | SYLVAIN, say babe once and you die

[ sylvain immediately is enamored with niah. who's a good wolf-daemon-doggo???????

but also WHY THIS ROOM AGAIN ]

Damnit. [ fuck! shit!!! ]

...What's your name again? [ it's you... ]

[ Niah has the aura of a really old dog despite not looking old, so he's very chill and looks up at Sylvain when he internally coos.

Joonghyuk is just frowning cause there's a gun. ]

Yoo Joonghyuk.

[ sylvain is probably making stupid faces at niah. he wants to pet so BADLY? 🥺

but yeah, there is a gun in the room. ]

What? I met Yoo Joonghyuk by the statues the other day?

[ ........? ]

… That was not me.

[ Sylvain he’s so disappointed in you and also offended. ]

...Oh.

[ guess he should DOUBLE CHECK the guestbook. god sylvain, not all asians look the same. ]

...Uh, nice to meet you. Actual Yoo Joonghyuk. [ he's now yjh-prime, and kdj gets to be yjh-wannabe, until sylvain figures out his name. ]

[ you assigning sylvain face blindness with a hint of racism. ]

What did my imposter look like?

[ he actually just tried to narrow down a list of names he'd been given... and simply didn't remember the last one... ]

Short black hair and dark eyes. A bit shorter than you. Wearing a suit, but then again, we all were.

Plain face?

[ Be Nice. ]

Uh. His face was fine...?

[ he thinks? they only met once and sylvain also met 928379428 other people in the same day... ]

... That guy keeps trying to impersonate me. His impressions are bad.

[ No, actually, Dokja is pretty good at roleplaying. ]

It never works. [ ... ] Are you going to shoot yourself?

Oh. That's what it is... Are you two close?

[ ... ]

How about we take turns shooting at each other, this time. [ not that... joonghyuk played last time, but whatever. ]

No.

[ Sometimes you lie. Joonghyuk has no qualms with that. He takes the gun and points to Sylvain, doesn't even wait before pulling the trigger.

Empty! ]

[ it's only a matter of time before sylvain identifies them as boyfriends... ur on thin ice

also WOW this lack of hesitation! ]

Ah, you missed.

[ this is so much easier than having to pull a trigger on himself, or someone who's actually nice. sylvain takes the gun next, aims, fires.

nop! ]

Is this easier for you?

[ He spins the barrel again, then points at Sylvain. This is also blank. Yayy. ]

Sorta. I made a promise with someone not to bite the dust before they did. They'd probably be less mad at me if I died because of someone else. ...Just a little.

[ bang! jk there is no actual gunshot. ]

Not that we're gonna die here [ he doesn't think, judging from his previous game... ], but old habits, y'know?

[ He stays quiet, not saying more, but he heard all of that. It's his turn with a gun and the barrel rolls.

He points it at himself, instead. ]

At least not in this room.

[ Click. No bullet. ]

[ his eyes narrow slightly, visibly confused ]

...Now I regret saying anything at all.

[ he'll direct the gun at himself too.

—this time it goes off for real though, and they're both brought back to the hallway immediately after sylvain pulls the trigger. ]

Dammit. [ he massages at his temple, where the barrel had last been resting ]

[ he crosses his arms... Niah is here, too, looking at both of them in confusion. It didn't seem like the wolf was perturbed by the bullet. ]

Why did you stop pointing the gun at me?

[ His tone very much says, "stupid." ]
