[ Not technically, but. ]

Yeah. The animals here? Most of them not friendly.

[ these brackets are so soft i'm soft. blows kisses to hak. ]

… But where'd you go? I didn't think you were coming back.

[ HELLO HE IS JUST BEING A NORMAL PERSON? don't be soft over that

but by way of answer, he just points at the glass of water. it is now a third empty. ]

You decided to join them?!

[ DONT JUST LUMP HIM WITH THE ENEMY LIKE THAT ]

It was supposed to be for you.

Oh…

[ …

His dramatic ass is back to laying on the floor and staring at the ceiling. ]

That's probably the wise choice, though. Let them go with it. [ HE JUST SAID HE DIDN'T BETRAY HIM!! ] Is there winning? They're endless. Well, I should probably figure out how serious he is about not liking them…

[ A little more quietly, with a sigh. ]

[ this is so funny

pats elysium comfortingly on one shoulder condescendingly. ]

He'll be fine. If you keep worrying like this, you'll get wrinkles.

[ and how will he be number one hottie then? ]

[ thank you for not top-leveling and keeping our thread lag free. we should just continue to live in inboxes forever

He accepts these shoulder pats with his whole heart. ]

It's more like it's been a distraction. I want to go back out there, but now's probably not the best idea, given… you know.

[ HIS NAUSEA!!! ]

What about you? What brought you here? [ other than fake employment ]

[ elysium your sickness ]

Getting a feel for this place. Thought there might be something here that would tell us where we are.

[ but instead it's just cats for days ]

[ THIS IS NOT HIS SICKNESS THIS IS JUST THE BLUNT TRAUMA TO THE HEAD

but i really just nonconned hak into being here and then asked you what he was doing. tears up ]

Lemme guess. No luck. But I wouldn't be surprised if something came up tonight—that feels like it'd be on brand for it.

[ it can be both? anyway it's fine, you know you can do whatever to me and i will not care ]

Tonight? [ looks up from where he's giving one of the cats some chin scritches. ] Why tonight?

Doesn't this look like the kind of place ghosts and spirits would show up?

[ oooOoooo… ]

[ .... ]

I don't believe in ghosts.

That's how you ask for trouble.

[ Stares at. ]

Did you believe in purgatory before this?

[ i can't believe you're making me think about theistic beliefs in ye olde fantasy asia. ]

Not really. Never really thought about what would happen after I died.

[ no use in worrying over something he doesn't have the power to change. ]

[ wow i am now being sandwiched by soo-won… cute ]

So you can't discount the possibility! It wouldn't even be the strangest thing that's happened to us, would it? Apparently I've got a doppelganger out there.

[ is hak smart enough to know what the term doppelganger is....i say no. ]

A what?

[ you would do this to me

phone tags ]

There's someone out there running around besmriching my good name. Or, they were.

They're apparently dead now. Who knows where they came from, though? Or if there are others? I don't think anyone with proper eyes would be fooled. How do you come up with a perfect replication of someone like me? It's impossible.

[ i see the war of the phone tags has begun

also. why does this guy sound exactly like jae-ha. it's giving him the creeps. ]

Yeah. There's no way anyone would want another copy of you.

[ photoshops ely onto your one icon of him and jae-ha ]

It's true. Imagine the overstimulation.

[ imagines it

makes a face. ]

I hope the cats eat you.

I'm dead

IS THIS A TAG OR ARE YOU REPLYING TO THE ICON

You're really trying to kill a corpse that's already dead I'm in tears

(no subject)

Don't hate me for the truth!

[ but also ]

You're going to make them do your dirty work like that?

It's called delegation.

[ we love efficiency!!!!!! ]

Besides, it's not dirty work if they want to eat you.

[ the cats.....they approacheth again.... ]
