[ me immediately like i wonder if the weight of 98 cats is enough to crush him. probably.
anyway
Elysium couldn't produce a remotely intelligible noise before, and that certainly isn't changing now that Hak has dislodged a single (1) cat. Still! That is another sound in response. More importantly, he's starting to wriggle, like he's actually trying to break free?
Together, they were so strong. All it took was Hak leaving for the cats to grow this emboldened… Has he thought about that… Even if it was with good intent. ]
[ there is not a songle thought in hak's head other than it'll be kind of annoying if he has to move a dead body out of the way.
just kidding, he wouldn't leave ely to that fate. the warbled noises and shifting cats are a good sign, and he crouches down to help dislodge more cats. together with the power of teamwork, they can free elysium from his kitty shackles...! ]
[ Truly, no one wants to deal with a decomposing body in their choice of stay… At least, spreading rock disease in purgatory isn't as much of a concern? So worse comes to worst, there are plenty of abysses here Hak could easily throw him in. Fun!
I just felt like I needed to lie down, and that's when they decided to attack. [ He's sitting upright now, but there's still visible discomfort marring his features. One knee is drawn up to his chest, his weight braced against it. ]
[ first rabbits and now cats.....does this guy have bad luck around animals or something. though it sucks a little, to see him visibly suffering. if only yoon were here. ]
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…

nudges elysium a little harder, enough to dislodge one of the cats. only 98 remain. ]
Hey, you okay down there?

After what feels like years: ]
You saved me…
[ he sounds so touched ]
no subject
actually, better question: ]
Why'd you let them win so easily?
[ meanwhile, one of the cats has gotten to the water glass and is peacefully drinking from it. ]
no subject
[ the implication that he defeated only a single cat ]
no subject
Do I get a weapon?
no subject
No.
no subject
that's fine though. he shrugs. ]
I could still do it with just my hands.
[ bold words ]
no subject
Go ahead. The arena's all yours.
[ The meowrmy. They stare straight through his soul with their beady eyes… ]
no subject
those beady eyes stare into his soul. he decides to pet one of them instead. ]
I just said that I could, not that I would.
[ okay ]
no subject
[ Shakes his head solemnly and narrates this. ]
no subject
[ not the point, but that's also not why he's back. ]
Feeling better?
no subject
[ brooks no argument.
But, anyway. ]

… A little. Word of advice? Don't chase rabbits.
no subject
A rabbit did this to you?
[ how big was the rabbit ]
no subject
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.
no subject
but by way of answer, he just points at the glass of water. it is now a third empty. ]
no subject
You decided to join them?!
no subject
It was supposed to be for you.

[ A little more quietly, with a sigh. ]

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? ]
no subject
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 ]
no subject
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 ]
no subject
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.
no subject
Tonight? [ looks up from where he's giving one of the cats some chin scritches. ] Why tonight?
