[ Ohh, who is a good boy... ruffles Niah's fur before smoothing it out in soft strokes. He doesn't mind the silence, lets Joonghyuk meditate, but as time goes on..
He will start to lean a little against Joonghyuk. Hello. ]
[ Niah bites Dokja’s hand as he keeps ruffling. Too much! But it isn’t much of a bite, just a little teething, some play, but he goes back to being content and closing his eyes. Happy.
Dokja leaning against Joonghyuk breaks him out of his trance. Quietly, he looks over. ]
[ Ouch, except not. He hardly pays the teething much mind. Jin, on the other hand, leans over to gently nibble on Niah's ear before grooming him.
Dokja focuses on Joonghyuk after and meets his gaze as he leaves their daemons to themselves.
Hmmm. He has felt some blips of anger, sadness, emotions that do not belong to himself. His own had been.. worry, a bit anxious, but now he has calmed down again. ]
It's no different from our previous experience. [ They had sent eight people to their deaths. And honestly, it isn't as if the reader was attached to Siegbert's character. Kim Dokja did not really get to know the man's story. ]
[ Niah grumbles, but allows Jin to do as she pleases. Joonghyuk has found Bradley’s emotions annoying, but he can school his expression better than most people.
He has had his own worries… Though they’ve been muffled over time. They linger in the back of his mind, but he allows himself some solace. Relaxing, he leans a bit against Dokja, looking off as he does. ]
This time under pretense of being entertainment.
[ There’s some distaste in his voice. Sorry, Sieg, that the trial is an afterthought. ]
Anyone of interest?
[ Who does Dokja like? dislike? Find interesting? ]
Once again not all that different from how our world used to be.
[ When he feels him lean back, Dokja rests his head on his companion's shoulder. Mostly looking ahead as he contemplates the words. ]
Mikazuki Munechika is an interesting character. I'm connected to Kocho Shinobu for those emotional effects we have so I've been keeping an eye on her.
[ Otherwise, he cannot say he particularly hard dislikes someone yet. A few interesting but no one he yet likes as well. Outside their obvious companionship with Hua Cheng. ]
[ Stop distancing yourself like that. It isn't good for you—it may be some empathy since Joonghyuk understands more than anyone being a character, being seen as just a character. ]
You already know Bradley Bain. [ Only because they know Nero. He doesn't talk more on him. ] Harrowhark Nonagesimus is obstinate, but steadfast. It's unfortunate or fortunate that she's scrawny.
... Jason Todd reminds me of a number of our companions, though some of the worst parts of them. The way he talks to me is similar to how Jung Heewon patronizes you. It's annoying.
[ ... ]
There are kind people here, but that is only a facet of a person.
[ No reply to that. They may be people but... even so, Dokja wasn't exactly the type of person to favor people. He wasn't afraid to tell a crowd of people that he didn't care what kind of fate they ended up having. People suck? ]
Ran into him on a few occasions, yes. [ He raises a brow at the next description. ] She does come off as the kind of person to hold their ground. Not necessarily bad to get on your side.
[ He does however snort at Jason Todd. ] When tempered, he sounds like Kim Namwoon. A bit quick to get defensive and threatening.
[ THE GUN FIASCO?? Dokja just idly watching nearby like: that's not my problem (for now) ]
There will always be more sides to someone than what we see.
[ Joonghyuk really is the one that gets attached faster and understands regular relationships better than Dokja. ]
Not bad, but also annoying.
[ Harrowhark assigned difficult. He doesn't add another comment about Jason because... Well. Dokja is right. It's similar to Namwoon, except less chuuni. He was also like damn, a gun? Not my problem, however...
Sometimes you're not interested to see people die from their own stupidity. ]
[ Gun might be a problem if the man comes after you to murder though. Suddenly our problem. ]
Hmm. Someone may be pitted against him then, if it's anything like we're used to.
[ Dokja does not care enough to sign up to become an executioner. Besides, he's sure there are a few who will likely pick up the responsibility. He will just continue as he is- a reader. ]
We might expect those trips to happen as well in the coming weeks. When I spoke with Mikazuki Munechika, he said he had experienced the same in his previous predictament.
[ And! Well! It fits a theme of the premise in the end. Joonghyuk frowns because he doesn’t really like execution being a spectacle, but he guesses he can always not attend (sucks for you yjh it’s mandatory).
The trips. He closes his eyes. ]
If we want to check on others, we can make a promise to stay in our rooms and send a message or wait for one from another person for both Thursday and Friday.
I have been. ..Difficult some days but, after sleeping for so long it's easier I guess.
[ Some days are harder-- not necessarily because of nightmares, more so when dissociating. Feeling like he's back on that train. But he has been sleeping more regularly back home.
His words mumble as his cheeks continue to be pinched. Another half-hearted swat. Better to be pinched than choked tho. ]

You’re calm after we sent a man to his death.

A headcount also works well enough.
no subject
Headcount has always worked well for us. Especially since there's still quite a bit of us to check on.
[ He would probably just check on Yoo Joonghyuk and other Chasma people for now tbh. ]
We just need to keep on alert by Wednesday, and double-check on Thursday.
no subject
Are can reconvene to one's room for the nights. Whoever has the largest.
[ Which means not Dokja's. ]
no subject
They stayed in Kaeya Alberich's room this past curfew, right? We could do that next week.
[ consistent plans. ]
no subject
[ He's just complaining, but he's fine with it because they've done similar. ]
no subject
[ Stop complaining. Funny enough Dokja looks a bit drowsy, just leaning here against him. He will stay here tonight (again) thanks. ]
no subject
[ Stop using him as a pillow? ]
no subject
[ No. ]
no subject
[ Pinches his cheek. ]
no subject
[ He isn't. Makes a face at the cheek pinch, swatting lightly at him. ]
no subject
[ Pinches the other cheek. Both cheeks pinched. ]
no subject
[ HIS CHEEKS?? (face) ]
no subject
[ At Dokja's canonpoint, wherever he is. He's actually getting sleep. There's a lingering tinge of disbelief, but...
He shoves that away and continues to pinch his cheeks. ]

Go brush your teeth.
no subject
Did you really need to slap me to tell me that.
[ his poor face cheeks. GRUMBLE but he will get up and go do that while rubbing his own cheeks. dumb mola ]
