Ah, that ahjussi. He was very involved in the trial we had, with the autopsy reports.
[ Honestly, there was a period in time where everyone was yelling and pointing fingers and he just. Kept on working. Jin paws at Niah briefly and then tries to very gingerly nip beneath his jaw. She seems to have a lot of energy?? ]
I would hope that he acts calmly... I believe he is a police officer of sorts.
[ Reminisce when the police department used to exist in their world before it just got eradicated. Niah doesn't react much, just looking down and maybe squinting. ]
It's odd how surprising yet unsurprising it is for Herlock Sholmes to be on the right track in trial, too.
[ A Detective, officer of sorts, a prosecutor... Jobs Dokja hasn't thought about for some time, not with what they've been dealing with back home. Niah's response just encourages Jin further, becoming bolder as she pounces him again. A playful growl sounds from the fox. React more!! ]
Leaves no room for doubt. Hmm... it could put a target on his back. [ Of course, assuming what happened in the previous week happens again. ]
... This is why most allies of justice die out in our world. Either way, if he does meet his end, I fortunately have enough medical knowledge to look over corpses.
[ Not that he's cursing Kim. He does hope the man lives to keep being useful, then maybe dies when he becomes a hurdle. Shh. IMAGINE IF PAZU JUST DIES. ]
They've moved us to a new city, though we haven't uncovered everything in the last.
[ taking charge. wow, he's proud... also imagine both kim and sholmes dying, not that sholmes is as useful as kim but everything would be a mess. ]
Assuming they consider our "dispute" settled in the previous city. But as you said, we didn't uncover everything. All we did was settle the matters with people that arrived here together.
[ it doesn't make sense. at least be consistent in the reading material you're providing?? kdj breaks 4th wall to say this is bad narrating. ]
[ That this all went down. That any of this is supposed to happen, but Joonghyuk shrugs. He has to admit that it caught him by surprise to see the spectres. ]
I didn't ask. I was more concerned about how we'll be compensated.
[ Maybe. It seems that way, anyways. Dokja was more surprised by the spectres showing up more than anything. Really, as if forcing an end to it. ]
..Admittedly, I'd like to know that as well. [ But also-- ] Knowing how much longer we have to deal with this is good information too, you know. We need to get back to our universe.
[ They were so close. It was right there. ] I'll just ask in my next meeting.
[ Though that earlier chomp did enough to quell Jin down, she's back at it again. Especially at the sound of that growl. She reaches up with a paw to gingerly bap. Calm. ]
I've been thinking about that a bit.
[ At that thought though, when Joonghyuk points it out- his brows furrow and he brings a curled fist to his mouth. He may or may not be muttering to himself now. What would happen with his absence? After that encounter... He kind of doesn't want to think that by the time he comes back, things would have moved on. It leaves an uncomfortable feeling under his skin. Jin seems to react around the same time, looking nervous as she starts to circle where she stands. ]
[ Joonghyuk is quiet for a long time. He doesn't need to answer. He doesn't need to say anything? Dokja brought this upon him self.
... ]
They'll be fine.
[ That's all he says to that. They were fine when Dokja was gone for three years, too. There are more thought, but he silences them quickly. It does him no good to dwell on it. Niah stops growling, though his ears pin back. His tail does just smack Jin, though. ]
[ 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. ]
[ 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.
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.
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. ]
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. ]
[ Focusing on exploring, getting the lore, then a murder happens and they have to put that previous information on hold. A lot of jumping back and forth. ]
I'm not too surprised. Some people don't enjoy the feeling of not being in control. Hmm, it might be worth trying, but not too sure for now. [ Or rather, this early on. Of course, Dokja had a way of being in control from the start back in their universe so he can understand the feeling. He'll learn and make what he can with the Celestials and see where that takes him. ]

[ well we know what we're going to do—i'm kidding or am i. Niah shakes his head, then peers down at Jin before giving her a light chomp. Stop that. ]
I'm curious to know what team he's on, but he might be more of an asset to both groups.
no subject
Hmmm... well, assuming both roommates have to be of the same fraction to open the door, he could be Celestial. If opposites work, then Temporal.
Either way, I don't think he's the type to care what team he is on. He will want to bring justice- whether they're on his team or not.

[ Sooo... ]
Actually, the Watchers have confirmed to me that this will be part of the dispute. This will be the game.
[ This whole murder, trial, and execution thing. ]
no subject
[ Not that these two would have cared. They're used to a lot by now, but it's still surprising.
A sigh. ] Did they happen to share how many they expect of us?
[ how many more deaths and executions are they gonna deal with. ]

no subject
[ Niah lowly growls a bit to convey Joonghyuk’s irritation. ]
It would also be good to ask what happens to the world when we’re gone—though I would assume time will continue spinning.
[ Thinks about when Dokja died and stayed dead for like 3 years. ]
You’d be in a sticky situation.

I’d like to ask them about this place. You listened in on those that explored the sunken ship?
[ Since it is Tuesday and they can know about it. ]

If you're curious of their names, they're Allen Walker and Flat Escardos.
no subject
Hmmm, based on their characters I'd say it makes sense. [ He could have just said their personalities, but y'know. ]
