[walking out of the hotel this time stuck him in the library in the camp - and assuming yjh happened to be walking out at the same time, here they are in the library together! he immediately gasps once he realizes where this is, looking around with undisguised excitement. to yjh, once he realizes he isn't alone:]
[ Joonghyuk happens to be here with his sparkle wolf who is the size of a golden retriever. Niah is sniffing the area before meeting Rupert, curiously staring at him as he stares at the books in awe.
You open the door and find yourself seated in a chair, your arms bound behind you. You feel someone's presence behind you, though you can't see them - they are also seated in a chair. You can speak, but you cannot recognize the voice of the other person, even if it is someone you would normally know just by hearing them. You must play a game of twenty questions to guess who they are. Once you have correctly identified each other, you will find yourselves back in the hallway, perfectly fine; however, if you hit twenty questions without both of you correctly guessing the other's identity, you will both feel a sharp pain in your neck, as if something has been injected into you. You will then find ourselves back in the hallway, disoriented and as though you've been sedated for the next thirty minutes, and you will have a puncture wound that matches a syringe and needle in your neck. Only four minutes have passed.
[here they are in the void, locations are now fake.
luckily, he had a chance to get cleaned up before curfew hit last night, so the only currently visible indication that he's been hurt is the gauze patch covering his left eye socket and the slightly unsteady way he walks. help, his depth perception. when he sees yjh, though:]
...Are you alright? I heard you got sent somewhere else yesterday, too.
[ i love the fucking void. Anyway, Joonghyuk is here, but also kind of not here. There's a glassy look in his eyes, unsure and lost, but he snaps out of it when he hears Rupert ask a question. ]
I've heard you also got sent elsewhere. [ Looks at eyeball. ] And your wounds were grave.
[ HELLO? Niah whines when he sees Rupert. Boy hurt? ELI YOUR EYE INJURIES? ]
[ me crying like IS THIS REAL PORRIDGE but it's the dragon??
Niah also curiously looks at porridge, though Joonghyuk is examining Rupert to see that he really is fine? There's no use lying when it seems so obvious. ]
[ We're here at simulations! Maybe looking to simulate a nice place so they can recap last week. For the effect, Joonghyuk's figure is made up of Korean characters on white. They flow down like someone is scrolling through text.
Both him and Niah look to the panel on the wall. ]
[for his part, it seems like his skin is pulsing with a golden tone of light, gently glowing as he moves around.
that being said, it is clear from his expression that he has no idea what this place is supposed to be. they didn't have a simulation room back at the school, help.]
Uh, yeah, totally. I'll definitely do that. [the light dims for just a second as he gives an awkward pause.] Just, um, how would I do that...?
[ The ink characters scramble on his new paper white visage because... He doesn't know what this room is for, either. He just has a feeling that it's meant to be used. All rooms are. ]
Touch the panel and see what happens.
[ Don't know the answer? Wing it with confidence. ]
[he hasn't seen a room quite like this before, but the closest thing he can compare it to is an empty ballroom, so when he touches the panel thinking of something like this... the entire room shifts to reflect it. there's even soft classical music playing, though no instruments are visible.]
[ We are at the cemetery! Just looking at these graves with arms crossed, but the effect simulates the Korean characters again. At least Niah notices Rupert and comes over to greet. ]
[ DAmn. We really hate memshare? Joonghyuk seems to be avoiding people, taking paths that most people won't go, but unfortunately He crosses Rupert's path.
There is an attempt, though Niah comes up to greet— ]
[there's a long moment after experiencing this memory that he's silent. the pain, the grief - they seem so personal that he isn't sure what to say, isn't sure what a person like joonghyuk would want to hear in this situation. still, it feels worse not to say anything, so after a few tense moments pass:]
...I'm so sorry. For your loss.
[he hasn't spoken much to dokja, but - it's a terrible thing for anyone at all to go through.]
[ Joonghyuk... Knows it's awkward. What do you even say to others when you unintentionally see memories they wish to keep close? It's already difficult to reach out, to understand, and to know someone.
There's... a sigh. ]
... This is the worst weekly effect. [ ... ] I went to search for him. After.
w0, tuesday.
This is great, right?
[what a nerd.]
HELP I WROTE UP A TAG AND NEVER SENT IT

They were, but... Nothing's bleeding anymore. What about you, though? You seem - kind of out of it.

We didn't have graves in the round I was in, but maybe that is for the better if this is something that could have happened.
It is, however, good that he was not eaten.

Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd wanted a brawl?

...What?

[ Joonghyuk is still trying to process it, but that was what Dimitri said he had in mind and not the nice beach party with dogs they all had.
anyway, I throw a dart. It's the circus, Eli. May Jeff Bezos be with you. ]
