[ HEY... Pulls his leg closer to him so that she can't hit him again!! ]
Of course it's not in me. I barely know anything about it, too.
[ Just that it's in Estinien and partly responsible for Abel and Himeka's capture... He's never come across it face to face, but Dokja already resents it for all the trouble it's caused. ]
[damn this host guy sounds just like dokja, what are the odds.
sooyoung's frown grows a little deeper because she can already tell what the implications of "a person willing to do anything" + "has some kind of entity inside of him that has weird powers" are gonna be.]
Sure, but they're still gonna get in our way. And I don't think we'll have time to chit chat during this rescue mission.
[ Thankful to the mystery person who got her into Pleroma because he would be losing his mind if both her and Joonghyuk were in Kenoma...!! ]
It makes you relive some of your worst memories.
[ Dokja's expression twists as he remembers what it had felt like. That black sludge had had so much to work with back when it had been eating away at him. ]
By bringing up your despair and past traumas, it makes you more susceptible to accepting the Kenoma.
Great. Of course Yoo Joonghyuk of all idiots ate that.
[Yoo Joonghyuk and his +1000 regressions, all the despair implied in the text that he actually lived through. ...And with how they left things back home -- trying to save Dokja, only to fail -- yet again.]
...And it doesn't help that the Kenoma apparently want to remake the universe.
[it falls into yjh's goals, almost perfectly. maybe hers too, if she thought about it a little harder.]
... Even if Dokja has. It had been so tempting at the time, when he'd been fighting back against the whispers in his head that he could have a world where he'd never existed. What would that have been like, to not have inflicted so much pain and misery to the people he loves?
Sometimes it still haunts him. Maybe it's why he's awake now, the nightmares always waiting at the edges. ]
We'll talk to him. He's angry right now, but once he's calmed down...
[ Why does it sound like he doesn't believe in what he's saying. ]
[ He sure is suffering, which is still kind of new to him after losing the Fourth Wall. He'd at least had something to keep his nightmares at bay, then, but now...
in her mind. in real life? she looks at him for a long moment, then shrugs. They only have a few hours until the start of the raid anyway, time better spent attempting to rest.]
...Fine.
[good thing dokja won't use lie detection on HER, because she WILL worry about it, and probably pester Yoo Joonghyuk for solutions after.]

No, because I don't know shit!
[swats his leg with the book]
It's in you, isn't it. [just blames dokja]
no subject
Of course it's not in me. I barely know anything about it, too.
[ Just that it's in Estinien and partly responsible for Abel and Himeka's capture... He's never come across it face to face, but Dokja already resents it for all the trouble it's caused. ]
... He's going to try and fight it, isn't he.
no subject
her eyes narrow but dokja's twink legs are too far away to bash with the book.....]
Is he not supposed to? I thought Kenoma were supposed to fight Pleroma.
[regardless of alien babies]
no subject
That's not...
[ Oh, right. She hadn't been part of the first wave. ]
It's more complicated than that.
no subject
Explain it to me then.
[becomes one with the mattress in the meantime]
Is this Innocent thing gonna be a problem?
no subject
Yes. Its host is going to do everything he can to get back Abel and Himeka. Go to any lengths.
[ He had to practically talk Estinien down from a suicide mission, which lmao. Kind of Dokja's area of expertise. ]
But, Han Sooyoung, I need you to understand that not all of the Kenoma are our enemy.
no subject

no subject
Yeah, don't try and talk to any of them.
[ Sooyoung, you're great and all, but the way you use your words... ]
When you arrived, did anyone try to feed you something?
no subject
Nope. I saw soldiers and went with the Pleroma instead.
[who did hsy go with? WE WILL NEVER KNOW]
You're talking about what Yoo Joonghyuk ate. What does it do -- besides make you weak as shit?
no subject

no subject
Sooyoung is quiet for yet ANOTHER moment, her doubt just as easy to read as it would be in the mindscape.]
You know, he's only gonna calm down if you tell him that you won't get in his way.
['and you won't do that, so he won't.']
no subject
Well, I'm not going to tell him that.
[ He's going to set both the books in his hands down now and sigh loudly. As if he isn't stressing enough about a myriad of things. ]
You should get some sleep. Tomorrow's going to be a busy day.
no subject
jk she'll just set them on the table that dokja might have in this hobo room,]
What about you? Are you planning on staying up?
no subject
I'll fall asleep soon.
[ Do not use Lie Detection on him I swear to GOD. ]
no subject
no subject
Yeah, he's lying. ]
You and Yoo Joonghyuk have to stop doing this.
no subject
Just go to sleep already. Want me to knock you out?
[approaches... ominously...]
no subject
No. I'll try to fall asleep.
[ That much is at least the truth. ]
Seriously, it's three in the morning. Go back to bed.
no subject
I'll just hit a pressure point! You'll be unconscious right away, promise.
no subject
[ It comes out in a rush and Dokja stops short as he turns to look away, hand rubbing at his eyes. ]
I don't want to be unconscious.
[ That's when the nightmares come. ]
no subject
Is it because of the nightmares? [godmodes your meta
jk, the entire orv gang has ptsd and can't sleep at night even after scenarios, so why wouldn't dokja also be suffering?]
no subject
He hesitantly shakes his head. ]
Don't worry about it.
no subject
in her mind. in real life? she looks at him for a long moment, then shrugs. They only have a few hours until the start of the raid anyway, time better spent attempting to rest.]
...Fine.
[good thing dokja won't use lie detection on HER, because she WILL worry about it, and probably pester Yoo Joonghyuk for solutions after.]
Don't pass out during the raid tomorrow.
