"I cannot accept the ending you're going to give us."
[ Aren't those words familiar-sounding? They should since Yoo Joonghyuk had said them to Dokja after all. It was the end of the second week in Chasma when they talked. "Talked." It was a lot of running and facing memory after memory really.
Dokja's memories... it takes a bit to remember, most of it, when he doesn't feel like he's watching what's going on as if he's in the audience. Sometimes you get too accustomed to dissociating. Anyways stop how did honeymoon phase become divorce arc part 2 ]
We're at different times. [ Again. Because it boils down to Joonghyuk Not Being This Pissed last time he saw him. That or he somehow someway fucked up??? (which is believable) ]
[ Can't believe someone has already smooched while Dokja and Joonghyuk are going through their divorce part 2. Those words are still true, even after all he went through and the end of that regression, he cannot accept what he saw. He cannot accept the following events to follow... The life that he and his companions will need to lead due to Dokja's actions.
Unlike Dokja who needs a moment, Joonghyuk can vividly see what place he left, only to receive an odd and infuriating dream that left him more drained. More angry. The stress stacks, what with the hostage and with Dokja's very existence here... ]
[ yeah who the hell is smooching, they're trying to divorce in peace here.
Honestly, it isn't as if Dokja isn't stressed, it's in the way his hands grip together, a tension in his shoulders. Antsy despite how he always tries to hold himself as collected and stable. On one hand, seeing Joonghyuk again is a relief, but the time shenanigans... again...
Well, for one thing, he probably shouldn't say too much. Spoilers? Not for him. ]
Still, we met again, didn't we, Joonghyuk? Just as we said we would.
[ Yes he'll be a lil fond despite Joonghyuk choking him out earlier in the day. Bastard. ]
[ I can't believe they're going to have microaggressions and regular aggressions again until memshare week where it could just be hyper aggression. He wants answers to his questions... And based on Dokja's calmness, he can't help but believe that has those answers.
He always frowns, but this frown isn't so hateful for earlier. Instead, it's dissatisfied. It's almost empty. Without anger to hold onto, this is what is left. That can be said about many things about their world. ]
[ It's going to.. take a lot, who knows how much given Joonghyuk's timeline (whatever it is), but that should be enough. It's all he can really offer. Well, no, he could offer more but- since when did Dokja ever do that?
Anyways, with their situation, where are they even gonna sleep.. Food... they really are back to square one. Their items- and he doesn't have his phone apparently listed? Damn. I'm just gonna say they're in the courtyard so he's gonna look over at the statues in the distance and frown just a bit. ]
[ ... Normally, Joonghyuk would want to hear that. He still does, but after what he's seen it's hard to believe. He can feel resistance despite his core wanting to cling onto those words. They really could just talk this out. Joonghyuk could splay all the words that come up, lodged in his throat—it builds with every second in Dokja's presence. Instead, he expects Dokja to read his mind or to know his mistakes, whether he's from the future or not. Dokja knows him best, doesn't he...?
He closes his eyes as his teeth stay tightly shut. In the darkness behind his eyelids, he can picture his hostage... And then another scene. To protect what you want to protect. To save those you want to save. Will he be able— ]
[ For a moment, there's no response. He continues to look off. As if recalling that dream, focusing on that instead- the details. The one he saw. The one just out of reach. So close and yet.. so far. His eyes darken and lips part, only to close again. There's that feeling of anger he felt in that moment.
It's one of those instances where if you say it out loud, it'll possibly feel more real. More real than it does. It's not sometihng he wants to keep quiet about when it comes to Joonghyuk though. He needs to know. So, finally-- ]
[ Joonghyuk frowns as he watches Dokja's expression change, already guessing who it is... It has to be a child. Then here we go, Biyoo is just a baby. Even for him, that's kind of low. She's a puffball. Can't even speak. Can't even say appa properly. ]
[ Big canon update... but it explains why he's this more angry about this turn of events. Of course anyone would want their hands on the Dokkaebi King if they knew what they were capable of. but that's his daughter!! ]
... [ hm ] We'll figure it out. Given recent discussions, it seems like a lot of our experiences [ the people here ] connect to killing but it doesn't feel like it's that simple.
[ kill people to save your hostage feels too predictable? but people will probably be that stupid and do it. ]
... It felt like we shouldn't be killing each other at arrival, but with the similarity between all of us someone will die. Or we will be coerced to kill, if the rules are similar.
[ Same game same game but different game! He isn't sure yet. ]
When I get my hands on the source of this, I'll make sure this is the last game it has.
