[ sipping his own cold brew. it's nice in this heat. plus, anything to keep himself awake. rip to sheba's roommates but also, rock on. ]
Thank you for listening. [ It's genuine. ] I appreciate you sharing your time with me.
Mmm, I think so as well. I wish you could have met her. Since I had to save her soul, she needed a new body, so she became a dokkaebi. They are white, furry goblin-like creatures. Let's see... [ He brings out his notebook to doodle two furry things. ] The bigger one is "Bihyung." He's helped me on my journey nearly since the beginning. The smaller round one is "Biyoo", she used to be the future Shin Yoosung.
[ He beams over. ] Cute, isn't she? She's definitely gotten a lot bigger in the past few years. [ He's very proud of his goblin baby. ]
I will. It's the same for you, if you need me I'll be there.
[ they are cute and fluffy but can have quite the.... murderous expressions. evil. ]
Ah, Bihyung. Well, it wasn't the most pleasant of meetings... After all, it was his arrival that alerted us of our world's beginning ruin. He started us all with our first scenario, 'Kill one creature' in a certain amount of time. If you didn't, the penalty was death. [ very unpleasant first meetings. ] While he continued to play his role as a 'streamer', he did later become someone I could rely on.
It's actually because of him that I was able to get my hands on a dokkaebi egg that allowed us to bring Biyoo into this world. [ So it's like. Biyoo is both their daughters. ]
Oh. [kill a creature or else you die?? what the hell?? the more she learns about his and yjh's world, the more ??? she is about it. ...but it sounds like things turned out more or less okay.] The fact that he turned out to be someone you could rely on, and she did, too...
It seems like you're good at turning enemies into allies.
It seems that way, doesn't it? [ Dokja sounds quite clever when she puts it like that. And, technically, he is. But he uses whatever is available to him. ]
I just... appeal to their own wishes. Promise them that the end I aim for aligns with their own. Then it's up to them whether they trust my word for it.
[ A hum, before he brings up the earlier mention. ] Are you curious as to how I bypassed the first scenario? I ended up killing a grasshopper. After all, it said "kill a creature", not necessarily another person.
It probably wouldn't be so convincing if you weren't telling the truth, though, right? I think... most of the time, people can tell when someone's making empty promises or not.
[unless they're, like. a really good actor!
but dokja seems to back up his words with actions - case in point: the grasshopper.]
Hee hee, good for you! Finding loopholes like that is a skill, too.
You might have a point. Especially if the person is good at telling when someone makes a lie.
[ They could also be a very good actor!
Dokja chuckles at that, propping his chin in a hand. ]
It's better to work around things than play to the higher-up's rules. It's why I'm trying to figure that out here. How we can workaround rather than playing directly into the angel's hands.
I don't like being told what to do in general. Make it a situation like this, and... [she makes a face] Well... it just really makes me want to do the opposite of what they want.

[she leans over to get a better look at what he's doodling and... oh, hello! that's adorable, what the heck.]
She's so cute! They both are...
[well, she knows now how he met Biyoo, so.]
How did you meet Bihyung?
