As "excursions."

[ He looks around and Niah also sniffs because it's... Different here? ]

It's a strange place. The air reminds me of a Demon Realm.

[afterword]

Does it?

[ Curious... He glances in the direction of the apartments before looking over to- the carnival? They have all of this? Jin sniffs and peers alert in the direction of the colorful amusement sights. ]

It's too bad we can't take anything back with us.

[ photos only... smh ]

[malewife]

It's different.

[ That is what he means... Kind of like people aren't naturally here? ]

We can't use some of the facilities here, either. [ MEDPODS!!! ] What would you bring back, anyway?

[afterword]

It is. [ no, he gets it ] Feels more of a gathering place than somewhere to stay.

[ but it might not have been that awful for eight weeks, maybe. ]

Any extra supplies from the Medbay area for one.

[malewife]

Despite that, there are places that give the illusion of a home.

[ Lodgings seem more personable, then there's a fucking grocery store? A music store? Why need those if you're here temporarily? ]

I was able to purchase us a first aid kit, so for the time being we are accounted for, but we should look for more stock when those trips start.

[afterword]

Maybe an invitation to permanently stay?

[ If there was nowhere else to go, it could be a temptation to some. Give them anything they could require. ]

..We really had it easy when we could just ask a Watcher to heal. [ They could just call upon them too the moment a group returned. Damn were they spoiled?? ]

Which archway should we explore first?

[malewife]

... Maybe. For whatever stray souls. [ He accepts that some people might be dead, but accepting death is better. at least he thinks so. Casting a gaze to all the archways, he thinks. ] This means people should value their lives.

[ WHICH IS GOOD. ]

We can start with the first one.

[ Are they even fucking labeled. ]

[afterword]

Wise words from Yoo Joonghyuk.

[ i. I dont even remember if they're labeled but I think the location they visit is random anyways from what I read of the notes so uhhhh

spins wheel

they're at the hot springs. ]

Oh.

[malewife]

[ He doesn't answer that, but there's a bit of a cough. No petals can be seen however BECAUSE HE JUST ATE THEM.

... Hot springs. ]

Did you want to take a dip?

[afterword]

[ SWALLOWING FLOWERS?!

At the cough, Dokja does glance over with a raise of his brow. But his attention is back on the Hot Springs.

Hmm.. ]

I wouldn't mind. [ a brief look of amusement.] Nicer than a hot tub.

[ their hot tub shenanigans in chasma. good times.]

[malewife]

[ Conceal, don't feel. You say hot tub shenanigans but that was the weekend before DOKJA FUCKING DIES and Joonghyuk does not think of it that fondly. This has him cough some more, but... again.

Covered. Eat those petals.

He doesn't respond, but goes to use the lockers and will meet him in the hot spring. Niah will also join. ]

[afterword]

[ true. also pikasquints. he would ask if he's okay but he zooms without replying OKAYYY.

Well, Dokja will be there when they meet up in the Hot Spring, Jin is wiggling her butt for a moment before taking a little dip. ]

Doing alright? [ YOUR COUGHING. Dokja has been managing well so far so no trouble for him (yet). ]

[malewife]

[ It's because if Dokja asked him then, Joonghyuk would be like... Go get undressed, basically. When they're settled in the water, he is more receptive. ]

This week's effect is annoying.

[afterword]

[ Dokja focuses on rinsing Jin off, watching as she begins to waddle around playfully. ]

That seems to be consistent as well.

[ Having a weekly effect. ..Squints ]

You shouldn't swallow it.

[malewife]

Littering is a crime.

[ Truth is he doesn't care about littering, but it's an excuse and here we go he coughs more and does what Dokja told him not to do. ]

[afterword]

Since when did you ever obey the law.

[ HE KNOWS YOU DON'T CARE.

gives an exasperated look. ] You don't need to hide it.

[malewife]

... Coughing up petals makes a mess.

[ Joonghyuk really is the type who would swallow his own vomit because he doesn't want his clothes or shoes to get dirty. ]

[afterword]

It's just petals.

[ Vomit is valid because it's a liquid, PETALS ARE NOT COMPARABLE TO THAT. ]

[malewife]

They are petals that came from my mouth, covered in saliva.

[ GROSS. ]

[afterword]

Could be worse.

[ kdj is insane cause I personally don't know what can be worse than choking on flowers but go off king ]

[malewife]

That doesn't make this less annoying.

[ He sinks into the hot spring. ]

... How likely is it that someone murdered here?

[afterword]

Fair.

[ He closes his eyes, sinking in himself with a hum. ]

More than likely that I probably wouldn't be surprised. But we always had murder scenes completely cleared up after the trials so.

[ It's probably fine? Jin floats on by. ]

[malewife]

They could at least kill like a normal person.

[ Joonghyuk: don't be WEIRD about killing?

Granted, he would do whatever he can to kill someone. Niah merely sits and watches her float by. ]

This is much better than a hot tub.

[afterword]

Some people make use of their surroundings.

[ This is not always a good thing.

Floating fox... but her butt sinks fast because mass of nine tails. ]

Time to make use of it until it's gone by next week.

[malewife]

If you use it too often, you'll end up looking like a tomato.

[ When Niah sees Jin float by, he pushes her down into the water with his paw. ]
