[ To not feel the pain, he thought about the next part of the story.
Should he trust that Secretive Plotter will stick to his word? Bring an end to the Most Ancient Dream. After all, there in front of him was the opportunity for his revenge, reached after experiencing 1864 lifetimes.
It simply needed to happen so that everything would end there. Which is why Dokja just had to believe that Secretive Plotter will go through with his plans. So Yoo Joonghyuk would be freed from his long journey of regression. ]
I know. And I won't give up.
[ There's a light nod of his head, accompanied with a smile even if it doesn't reach his eyes. Even as Jin ignores the smack of that tail, shivering as she curls into herself as if trying to burrow and hideaway. Making herself appear even smaller than what she is. ]

[ THEY ARE WALKING AROUND? So Niah sees this and picks her up again. Now he has a white puff in his mouth. Whatever Dokja is thinking, Joonghyuk sees it differently... And he knows Secretive Plotter did, too.
This is why he knows it's impossible to truly understand another person. There will always be barriers between everyone where, at most, they can only read the leftover messages another left on the wall. ]
It sounds like you have a lot to ask the Watchers when you get your chance.

[ That doesn't stop her, nor Dokja even though his steps slow a little. But had Niah not picked her up, it would have been the tug of the distance between daemon and person that stopped them from continuning. Enjoy white puff. ]
So I do. Assuming it isn't something they're not allowed to tell us. Some of these restrictions they have... [ He shakes his head. ]

Just as we saw at the execution, the Watchers were specially equipped to deal with the spectres.
[ However, as he provides this little tidbit, he passes on a note in Hangul.
Jin is, once again, moving to walk beside Niah with jolly steps. Happy fox. ]
It's good they weren't brought in completely unawares and with nothing.
[ However, as he provides this little tidbit, he passes on a note in Hangul.
Knowing you, you probably asked about powers and or items from home. There's an exchange system- though at a cost with some restrictions.

Despite how some of them can barely see the specters.
[ Which should indicate Watcher ages, but anyway. Joonghyuk nods after receiving the paper—he has already quoted some things. ]
At least we can consider that we are safe under their watch, against spectres.

[ At that, Dokja looks over to him, taking in this change of conversation with ease. Even Jin seems to perk up a little. ]
I did. With wreckage like that... [ Maybe he should've taken the time to explore more of the area with a group, but sometimes it doesn't hurt to just focus on the city and castle itself. more importantly: arm ] And of course, given how the previous explorations has gone last week, there are more corpses to find.

That's right. Matches up with how only adults can see them.
[ Interesting. Well, he's writing a bit more.
But, Joonghyuk has heard from Reze that supposedly she's on the Celestial team, so if he asks her to meet with Suriel- they can test it with her. ]
Though, I wonder if the spectres will be an issue here? Or do we have something else to worry about?
[ Interesting. Well, he's writing a bit more.
I asked about being able to distinguish someone on your team.
Suriel offered a means to provide a subtle clue to help me figure out who is a Celestial, which involves the person's coin.
The thing is it won't show up on their coin unless they personally go to Suriel and ask it from them.

There's some strange history here... It doesn't line up how the ship looks like it has decayed for years and the city abandoned for the same amount, but the bodies have only been dead for at most a month.
[ MAGIC. ANYWAY. ]
Most importantly, this city was above land and of course worshipped the angels of the tower.

[ Joonghyuk only gives Dokja a weird look cause what kind of scheme do you have now? ]
We should focus on what is at hand since the spectres haven't shown themselves, though I'm not keen on letting only the Watchers being capable of fending them off.
[ What if the Watchers BETRAY them. ]

Where do you hide out now?
[ Show him your batcave. Let him rest there tonight. Dokja is still a bit unsteady even after being tended to, and while he has no problem with potentially taking the risks of collapsing somewhere, on his way to sleep anywhere that isn't his shared room with Sholmes... Something tells him Yoo Joonghyuk won't let him out of his sight. Sooo.... Yoo Joonghyuk's place of choice it is.

Edited (you ever typo sholmes into holmes because you forget his dumb name is a thing) 2021-10-09 05:53 (UTC)
You should take Kim Kitsuragi's bed, or force Sholmes out of his.
[ Don't just camp out in a place with him? He has his little cave somewhere else, but will be considering just chilling somewhere closer. They're at the dining hall! For a meal!
Stupid! He has half a fish with soup. It is more... Soup, less fish, really. Easy to digest. ]
You know more.

What? And here I thought we were companions.
[ Stingy. Why are you so secretive about your spots, share them with him?? (yjh voice: share yours then. kdj voice: no that's okay. )
..That soup though. Kim Dokja squints at it with a flat look. Is this a joke? He literally just dealt with fish people. ]
..Of course I do. I remember everything.

[ No reason to know right now... after Dokja came back from a CYOA and there's apparently someone dead that he is only vaguely aware of even though no one has mentioned anything out loud /stares at the returning thread.
stupid bitch, fine. Dokja will go out into the city whenever he decides to sleep. ]
You more or less know what happened at the end with the fishmen horde. The thing is before we escaped them there was a familiar blue light the group of us saw before. The cave looked the same but it also didn't.
[ Stares at the food. ] We jumped timelines.

[ STOP. YOU WILL NOT. Also, who are we kidding it is week 1 and both of them would be more wrapped up on the lore than the murder (even though i love pan and nine and i'm sad they are gone). ]
... Are you saying what you saw was an alternate reality of the past?
[ hello, explain? Joonghyuk is familiar with this, but out of context it's hard to visualize when you just know fish people tried to chase your companion. ]

[ kdj will go off on his own again, it's fine. keep your batcave!!!! also sorry pan and nine, i never got the opportunity. ]
It seems that way. [ He would cross his arm if one wasn't in a sling... Sigh. Fortunate Jin is still in her snake form resting on his shoulders, otherwise she'd be limping badly everywhere as a fox. ]
Let me start from the beginning. When we first came to our senses, we found ourselves on a boat and seem to be caught up in the middle of a storm. I had Suigetsu and Power help the deckmen in working on the sails and anything needed to prepare for it. Alphinaud and I went below deck after a group of kids.
One of them was... distorted. Like a glitch. Anytime they spoke, we couldn't understand a word. They affected those around them too. Like a hiccup in the system. [ His eyes lower. He's thinking about something specific at that moment. Whatever it is, Jin reacts in that she coils up tighter. ]
But another child was affected differently. [ He pulls out a paper, fortunately dry, and he takes a moment to write in it and immediately rubs his thumb over it. Effectively smudging the writing. He tilts his head at that before looking at Yoo Joonghyuk while passing the paper over as if to have him look at it. Once he does, ] Hard to read, isn't it?

[ He is following. It is gracious that he understands situations like this. Scenarios aren't too different... Just stuffing you in random situations and sometimes the system just (blep). ]
... It is unreadable, but you purposely smudged it.
[ WHAT IS THE POINT. ]
... It is unreadable, but you purposely smudged it.
[ WHAT IS THE POINT. ]
[ This is why it's easy to explain to Yoo Joonghyuk. Anyone else would be like what the fuck are you saying. ]
That's the point. The girl was, in a sense, smudged. It was hard to remember the details of her, I would remember some things about her appearance and then forget them. It was like a blur.
[ You know what that sounds like? When Kim Dokja's face was a blur to everyone. ]
..She was self-aware of what was going on and unaffected by the glitch. [ But still smudged. ] We had been talking to her aunt, but when we were mentioned about her parents the girl told us she "needed to find them before they're gone." [ His free hand raises to settle over Jin, the snake shifting to gently touch his fingers. ] It was around then that Power came down and mentioned that there was a big sea dragon in the waters approaching at the same time we were nearing land.
We were cut on time and had to hurry. [ He looks off to the side. ] So, I promised the girl we would find them.
[ Is Yoo Joonghyuk surprised? Probably not. ] When we tried to get her name, it was distorted- but unlike the earlier glitches where nobody noticed but us, she was aware of it. Knew she couldn't, even if she did not know why. Mentioned it was fuzzy and not suppose to be this way. [ Strange, isn't it? ] ..Anyways, once we reached the cargo hold, Alphinaud took a quick peek at the crates and found the very same items he came back with the group that explored the ship wreckage a few days ago.
[ And there's your connection. ]

[ oh, god. Joonghyuk has already understood that it was most likely that sunknen ship, so really he's just listening to a story. Yes. Also, of course he frowns when Dokja is like... Teehee. Kids.
Not surprised by the sea dragon. ]
How strange that there was an anomaly in the scenario... One that recognizes and interacts with you.
[ anyway. ]
It is to be played without any changes, you all should have sank with the ship.

Different cities, still the same world. The worshipping of angels seems to be the one thing consistent.
[ A finger tap. ] With how things are now though, we just need to explore a bit more until we find something. [ me looks at thurs when kdj leaves and literally sees the ship before sunken times. ]

[ Dokja merely smiles at that look.
But, Yoo Joonghyuk will see what he means when he passes the note with his coin. On the side opposite of where the fraction symbol technically is, two small dots are on the coin, one stacked above the other, underneath the feather symbol. ..If there was a feather symbol. It's obviously gone now, even though Joonghyuk definitely saw it once before.
However, with both Sholmes and van Zieks rhyming on trial day, and Joonghyuk aware of what ability Dokja had, he can probably put two and two together. ]
With the lack of abilities from our universe, we don't really have a choice but to rely on them for now. [ Dokja looks amused. ]
The Temporal Watchers won't know anything about it, so let's keep it that way.

[ THIS IS TUESDAY. A REMINDER TO ME. ]
Despite the dispute, many people are doing their best to help each other and unravel the mysteries here... Even if it doesn't solve the problem at hand.
[ Which is this game. ]
I was approached by two people that didn't want to play the game, instead hoping to work around it.
[ Which Joonghyuk thinks it isn't quite possible, but there may be benefits in trying. ]

[ This one is WEDNESDAY.
Anyway, Joonghyuk raises his eyebrows... Though he also frowns. It can be a clever ploy, whether or not Dokja uses it to confirm others. Him having it can serve as a beacon for others to maybe ask the Watchers about it, then only Celestials will know.
Hm.
Doesn't like that Dokja is basically putting himself in the spotlight, but he can't voice it. ]
... Then you cursed either Herlock Sholmes or Barok van Zieks. [ ... ] What are you planning to regain?
[ It isn't the matter of will you regain anything, to be honest. ]
