Dokkaebi Egg [phoenix]

[this time, the room you walk into is fairly modern? with bench-like couches lining the walls and square or circular ottomans acting as either addition seating or surfaces to put things on. one of the walls even has what appears to be a public transit map for wallpaper? well, don't worry too much about that. it's just Aesthetic. (those who are familiar with South Korea's transit system may recognize it...)

you can feel free to move any of these things around to maximize comfort (the furniture is somewhat comfy! but maybe the floor isn't completely uncomfortable), save for the bench-couches against the wall and a circular table in the middle of the room.

on top of the table, there's a collection of stones of various colors sitting within a bowl. next to said bowl is a cushion for your egg if you don't want to hold onto it. isn't that nice?

oh, and there's a little kitchenette on another wall with a sink and refrigerator, if you get snacky. just ignore the sticky note on the food containers that seem to be screaming "DO NOT TOUCH! THIS IS MY LUNCH!". it's fine.]

Others should share their own to match mine.
briarliar: (Lily of the Valley)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-05-29 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
I'm very glad you offered your example of feeling joy. I...I think we will need as much of it as we can get.

And it's nice to learn about each other. Especially since so many of us are new to this kind of task.
mountanoffensive: (follow that rainbow road)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-30 01:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Joy is easy when you have a family like mine.

And yeah, I don't mind learning new things about my herdmates here.
briarliar: (Sunflower)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-05-30 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ smiles because herdmates is such a nice word that she can understand the meaning of! unlike ficustaur ]

Neither do I. Or, I mean I do mind in that I want to pay attention to learning about everyone here. I think I've talked to more strangers in these past few days than I usually would have in months back home.
mountanoffensive: (we are all just fragile things)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-31 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I'm used to talking to strangers by now. But it's not often we get to learn about each other in ways that aren't awkward.
briarliar: (Hibiscus)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-05-31 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
You don't think this way is awkward?

[ genuinely curious, all her social interactions are awkward and this is just a special kind of different ]
mountanoffensive: (isn't this awkward)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-31 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
It helps when people aren't getting drunk at the same time.
briarliar: (Grapevine)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-05-31 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, having social interactions while getting drunk is much easier for me! Except I never remember what happens afterward...
mountanoffensive: (this is kind of a lot)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-05-31 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose?
briarliar: (Blazing Star)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-01 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
M-maybe it does, but it really helps me survive the interaction in the first place.

[ people around drunk!Yor however... ]
mountanoffensive: (you and I are fragile things)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-03 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Do you have social anxiety issues?
briarliar: (Larkspur)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-03 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, not around most people. For the longest time I was content to sit and wait until it was over.

But sometimes around those I want to put at ease, I get worried that I might be troubling them so I try really hard not to act like I'm worried, except it...does the opposite.
mountanoffensive: (don't recognize you)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-05 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
It's really hard to not act worried when you are. Reim was good at it. I wish you could have met him.
mountanoffensive: (paralyzed with sadness)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-05 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, he was here before you and the others showed up. He ended up in solitary confinement like most of the others from his world. Elliot ended up on Nymph.
briarliar: (Buddha's Hand)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-05 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Solitary confinement? So there is a place here that acts like a regular prison...
mountanoffensive: (what if I take far too long)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-05 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It's complicated. We don't really know where it is. And we can't see them.
briarliar: (Willow Tree)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-05 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Has anyone successfully managed to come back from solitary?

[ she sounds pretty resigned to thinking it's a long shot ]
mountanoffensive: (paralyzed with sadness)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-05 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure... I haven't met anyone who has.
briarliar: (Chamomile)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-05 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
W-well, if Reim ever gets out I will ask you to introduce us so I can learn from him to appear less nervous.
mountanoffensive: (we are all just fragile things)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-06 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
I think you'd like him. He's very smart and kind.
briarliar: (Birch Bark)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-06 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
If he was here, does that mean he was part of Phoenix before? I assume since there are so many of us who are very new...

[ she trails off, not wanting to say something insensitive ]
mountanoffensive: (you're okay you're all right)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-06 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, he's one of us. Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian too but they're on other teams too now.
briarliar: (Aster)

[personal profile] briarliar 2022-06-06 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
At least that means you can still talk to them...

[ pausing ] Are they the ones who had the bloody writing on the walls when we first arrived?
mountanoffensive: (isn't this awkward)

[personal profile] mountanoffensive 2022-06-06 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Laughs]

That's them. It's supposed to be some sort of protection magic.
