[ they're in the hallway! Dokja is actually heading to his own room except he... well, Lup would have definitely seen him around here earlier. Taking the same turns ( he's literally going in circles) and just generally looking confused.
.. Yes. He's lost. His furry companion, a fluffy white nine-tailed fox the size of a medium dog just yawns beside him. It seems used to this. ]
Was it not this way? [ The fox whines. No you fool. ]
[she is busy trying to open everybody's rooms with her terrible goblin hands, which is probably why he finds her trying to open his room. at least he's less lost!
a pause.]
Uhhhh, room service! [she has no idea he's lost.] Whoa! Fox!
I don't know about forty-three different ways. That seems more up Yoo Joonghyuk's alley. But if you want a peek at my room I don't really have any objections.
[ Jin already is making her way to his door, pawing at it. ]
but in we go! he opens his door and she's more than free to have a peek. it's kinda a boring room. it is not very exciting! there's a bunch of books around the room but if she gets any peeks at them.. they're all surprisingly blank. Fake Books(TM)
Jin meanwhile beelines for the bed to jump on and flop over with a blanket of nine tails. ]
there's a creature sitting in simulations. it seems to just be enjoying the scenery of the area that has been summoned - an airship sits in midair, looking out over a lush, thick jungle. the air is fresh and gentle, blowing through, and the sun feels good to stand under.
the creature doesn't seem to notice anybody coming in.]
Dokja takes a moment of looking around, not particularly rushed to spike a conversation yet. just curious of their surroundings for now. his appearance is mostly normal, save for the occasional full-body static flicker. with a few words spilling from him that seems a bit hard to read.
Jin, the white nine-tailed fox daemon, seems more excited to jump for a moment and then just YIP at creature. ]
the yip scares the shit out of her, and she startles sharply before pulling her hood up, like that's going to hide literally any of her features. she's actually wearing these and they're fucking enormous on her.]
The white nine-tailed fox daemon seems unbothered by the reaction, staying where she is with nine tails waving side to side. Though she dances on her front paws for a bit to show off her excitement. ]
She didn't mean to scare you, Jin just wanted to say hello.
[ it's fine. he's dealt with ruder people tbh, he takes it with stride. barely even bats an eye at it. ]
[ jin comes the rest of the way to lup. you know that meme where they hold their hand out and the person just plops their chin on the hand? that is Jin. she is plopping her muzzle on her hand. ]
You lived on a ship? [ his head tilts, looking back. ] ..Sounds like a nice home to have, being able to travel with it.
[ but she said "old house" so. ] Live elsewhere now? Outside your suite here, of course.
[ that's six whole ass daemons. Jin waves her nine tails slowly, but she seems to watch lup closely before burying her muzzle more into her. as if sensing something and is trying to comfort her. ]
Did you live alone? [ how sizeable is this ship... does it seem like it could host plenty. ]
[ Jin rests in the hug, seeming completely fine with it, rather shifts to wrap some of her nine tails around lup. a fluffy blanket. ]
Sounds like home to me. [ or perhaps to this reader he sees home to be in people rather than a place. ] I'm sure they'll be waiting for you then. Once you get back.
How long have you been with them? [ he'll lean to view the scenery again, but still keep an eye on her. ]
[ a Watcher in chasma assumed that meant they were soulmates/married so y'know, this may as well happen too. i love it ]
Life and Death companion. [ but he has learned since that experience so, he does elaborate after a moment ] Our world is made up of stories, quite literally. That's a fable we created together through our companionship.
[ how to say you're gay without saying you're gay. ]
As far as I'm aware, he hasn't proposed to me yet. [ it's a joke it's a joke ]
Well... you'll get different answers from us both. I would say I've known him all my life, he would say less so. [ #it's complicated ] There's a bit of a difference given I'm much farther ahead in time compared to him since the last time we were in a "game" like this.
[she is also wandering, this fine sunday, but kim dokja can find her chilling at the bar with the piano, absently playing something on the piano. it sounds sort of like this but way slower and way less confident.]
there's the soft sound of clicks as Jin, the white nine-tailed daemon, just paws on over to approach the piano (well, approach Lup to be more specific) with soft, happy little chuffs. ]
Fair enough. [ Jin wags her tails more, content to receive pets. ]
So far one, but not necessarily a direct accusation per say. More like "I wonder if you killed and are capable of saying so now and that you're free of the shadow."
[ he says this with a light laugh, not at all offended. ] Killing would mean I secured my means of saving my hostage so I personally would see no reason to lie about it but. I did not do the kill, so unfortunately people can only rely on my word on it.
It's to be expected when something snatches up a bunch of mostly strangers. The only ones you'd likely be able to tell are those you're very familiar with, and even then it would probably be too late. The shadow probably does a good job of covering its tracks.
[ a hum. ] I had high suspicion before in my previous game so, it doesn't exactly worry me. I would rather it be me than my companion anyways. [ (yjh voice) vote for me instead. <-- a dumbass ]
I don't really expect anyone to take my word for it. [ He can't help but laugh a little. Be careful? He can't really take that to heart. Or rather, he can't care to.
Jin shakes out her fur, trailing back to Dokja. this vibe does not feel good to her. ] I could point out that there wasn't a lot of evidence stacking my way. Similar clothing and shoe sizes don't mean much when anyone can change their clothes and wear shoes bigger or small than their own. My injuries would have been aggravated if I did kill since I would need to hold Alphinaud Leveilleur steady with my right to cut with my left.
[ a pause, before he reaches to lightly pet Jin with his left hand. ] But for now there's no changing what's been done, tomorrow will begin a new week so I guess we'll just have to see how things go.
No, see - I didn't think anything pointed to you so much. [she absently plays a few keys.] You coming up as a suspect was weird. Felt out of place or forced just based on some clothes and a weird hint, but.
[her ear flicks.] I've been wrong before, so I'm just being careful, you know? Just like I'd expect you to be if I got pointed at.
Hmm.. If you got pointed at, it wouldn't really change anything for me. I'd treat you the same way as I have been. Though that's how I've always been, so I'm not telling you to not be careful. It isn't as if our profiles don't hold some truth to our name.
[ kdj isn't exactly innocent by those skill details. Jin emits a soft, drawn-out whine. ] When it comes down to it, I've never really had any interest in playing with a higher-up's rules.
[ but he doesn't seem offended, there's no malice. he sounds as normal as he always has. he glances to the idle presses of the piano keys. ] Try to take care of yourself, Lup. These next few weeks are sure to get harder. ..Jin worries easily too with those that are kind to her.
[ which the fox emits a soft bark at the mention of her name. ]

Same excursion, yes. Though he was a support role during it.

[she will, in fact, peek around though! she also follows jin because she's determined to pet everybody's daemon.]
Whoa! This looks like a serial killer's house! [you can't just say this sORT OF THING]
no subject
[ Jin will wag her tails like immediately when she sees she's being followed. ]
..Do you meet a lot of serial killers? [ help im in tears. IT LOOKS LIKE JUST A NORMAL ROOM TO HIMM how does she get this impression ]
no subject
I've met one or two! It's the vibe. Way too minimalist. Where are you hiding the bodies, etcetera.
no subject
I don't see the point in hiding a body. I would just leave it out in the open, easy to find.
[ he says this so honestly too help. ]
I was a typical office employee before my world fell into apocalyptic ruin. Sorry to say but I'm just boring.

Oh, mood. Sort of. [to

[ it's fine. he's dealt with ruder people tbh, he takes it with stride. barely even bats an eye at it. ]
A place from home?

Yep. [she says, after a moment.] It's my old house, actually. The ship.

You lived on a ship? [ his head tilts, looking back. ] ..Sounds like a nice home to have, being able to travel with it.
[ but she said "old house" so. ] Live elsewhere now? Outside your suite here, of course.

Sure did. Not really by choice, but you know. [a pause.] I guess I don't really have a home yet. I was figuring that out when I got spirited away.
no subject
Did you live alone? [ how sizeable is this ship... does it seem like it could host plenty. ]
no subject
no, jin nuzzles closer, and lup pauses before just straight up hugging her. it's nice. the glow under the hood subsides a bit.]
Nope. There were seven of us. One of them was my brother. Is, I guess, he's still around. [and it does look like it could hold at least seven people!]
no subject
Sounds like home to me. [ or perhaps to this reader he sees home to be in people rather than a place. ] I'm sure they'll be waiting for you then. Once you get back.
How long have you been with them? [ he'll lean to view the scenery again, but still keep an eye on her. ]
no subject
I hope so. [...] Um, a hundred years. Sort of.
no subject
You must have gone through a lot together then. [ that's a pretty long time but. that's good. that's a strong bond forged through all those years. ]
no subject
[she says, with a little laugh.]
... Hey, question. You know Yoo Joonghyuk, right? Are you guys like, friends?
no subject
Yoo Joonghyuk? [ he looks a bit amused. ] He's my Life and Death companion, we come from the same world.
no subject
[that sounds extremely gay and she's intrigued, i'm sorry]
no subject

no subject
[this is teasing, mostly.] No, uh, I was going to ask because I was curious how long you guys knew each other. Kind of as a frame of reference.

Didn't take you to play instruments.
no subject
Piano's not my thing, normally, but you take what you can get. [jin gets some pets.] So. How many people have accused you of murder today?
no subject
So far one, but not necessarily a direct accusation per say. More like "I wonder if you killed and are capable of saying so now and that you're free of the shadow."

You are lucky, though. It could've been you instead of him. A lot of people were gearing up for it.
no subject
