[ While Kim Dokja did not show up to the headcount, he is spotted showing up to the hotel once he's concluded his own activities. He's on his way in the direction of the rooms when he catches sight of a familiar head of blonde along the way. ]
Oh, Sheba.
[ The arctic fox at his heels seems to raise her tail high in greeting, giving a short happy whine. ]
Glad to see you're doing alright, do you have a moment to spare?
anyway! her daemon appears to be in peregrine falcon form, for now; she's flying above sheba, within range for them to not feel icky because of Too Much Distance, but when sheba stops walking, aura dives down to perch on her shoulder.]
Oh, hello! [she smiles.] Sure, I've got some time.
[ From what he can tell of her, she's quite proactive. He only takes a moment to bring out a book, removing a slip of paper from it to hand out to her.
"It's never after the children. It seems to just pass right through them as if it was avoiding them. It's as though it's hunting us, however I'm safe here. I must be."
Does that sound familiar? ]
It's the note I mentioned that was at the top of the lighthouse at night. Your group shared the one during the day, so I figured I'd give you a copy to have on hand. It probably has nothing to do with what's going on right now but, we never know.
Nothing yet. [she makes a face] But I've been marking off the places I haven't found anything on this map, so if someone else takes over later, they'll know where I've already looked.
[alas, no deets for us! for now, anyway.
she looks curiously at the paper when he holds it out, then takes it to read it over.]
...oh! Thank you! [the exact wording is helpful.] This matches up with what the kids in town said - that the spectres don't hurt kids...
Efficient as always. [ Not that he's surprised, he's seen how she handled things when bringing in information about the lighthouse. he sounds like a proud dad smh. ] I checked the streets with Yoo Joonghyuk and we did not see anything stand out, but that'll be useful in case any groups go out.
[ But it isn't as if they were enough for a thorough search. So alas indeed! ]
At least we can be assured of the situation with the spectres. We still don't know how to deal with them but.. we'll figure something out. [ his fox daemon does a little hop. ] In any case, I'm sure I don't need to worry about you, but try to have company with you other than your daemon. Just to be safe.
The fact we haven't found anything makes you wonder. Is there a chance they're still lost? Being held hostage somewhere? Maybe it could have meant nothing at all and we're overreacting.
Maybe once the Watchers make themselves known again we'll figure it out. [ for now though, it remains... unsolved. ]
Of course. Yoo Joonghyuk would bring me back just to kill me himself if I did anything reckless. [ haha. except, he would. he really would. ]
I'd like to believe we're just overreacting, but...
[everything just seems Too Sus to her.]
It'll be nice to get to talk with them again. It's strange that sending messages isn't working, but I guess that lends credence to the idea that something actually did happen. [she shrugs] Yoo Joonghyuk... he's a friend of yours, then?
Because anything can happen- it's just better to be prepared for the worst. I came from a ruined world so something like this isn't too surprising, admittedly.
I think so yes. [ the comment about friend though? ] Hmm... he's my companion, yes. We came from the same world. I can only imagine that some of us weren't so lucky in arriving with someone else from home.
[ of course, he doesn't know everyone's personal relationship, but assuming not everyone came in pairs of two well... it probably is more common to have arrived alone. ]
I am. A ruined apocalyptic world after higher-powered beings took over, but instead of destroying it and moving on- they decided to make a game of it. Force us to fight to live for sake of their entertainment.
It's all for the sake of making a good story in their eyes. Constellations would much prefer to watch humans do their bidding for their entertainment. Only involving themselves by the minimal, by supporting their favorite and giving them abilities and boosts.
[ It's a story he's grown accustomed to. But to live through it... ] Of course I didn't always play by their rules. Just like here, we have to not play whoever is in charge's rules either. We have to take charge of our own path.

[she just can't shake the feeling that this is going to wind up being more complicated than it appears.]
I'll keep that in mind, though - thanks for looking out for me. You'll do the same, right?

...you're right. I don't have any intention of playing along with whatever's behind all this and letting it play out however they want.
no subject
Good, having a fighting spirit is what we need. [ Patting her head! ] I'll let you go back to your exploring, I'll need to check on something myself.
no subject
All right! I'll see you around. If there's anything I can ever help you with, just let me know!
[and she scampers off to continue exploring!! pc me again for w1]
