[ Dokja looks over to Joonghyuk at that, meeting his gaze with a quiet expression. His brows furrow after, looking off to the side, then seems to be in thought some more. Finally, after a moment longer he does look back to his companion. ]
I have to tell you something. [ It is Thursday. And well... the curfew has already settled in. Last week he had accompanied Reze and by morning he... Well, no point in thinking about it now. There's already a lot on his mind. So, he approaches close, glances over to Akira with a.. well, maybe a quick look. Is it apologetic? Sheepish? Either way, sorry Akira.
Then leans over to whisper to something to Joonghyuk. ]
[ At least Dokja seems to be nice enough to avoid the obvious locations that Yoo Joonghyuk was previously injured in the week before? Obviously, he isn't trying to aim at those weaknesses.
Jin meanwhile is... not at all hostile. She's relaxing? Just chilling with the other two daemons, though does playfully nip at Niah's muzzle. ]
[ Jin is a menace, throwing her paws around Niah to bite at him some more. Gently.
Dokja is out of breath, clothes a bit tattered... a good thing he switched into his suit after getting blood on his white jacket earlier with the returning group. Though here he is with some cuts as a result of their fighting. ..He may as well have stayed in his other clothes. Smh. ]
[ Can't wait to show up to headcount like this. Assuming one of them isn't... missing by the time they wake up. ]
Why there of all places? [ Hmmm. Jin is licking at parts of her body which is clearly matching the areas with Dokja what with his cuts. Owie. ] I did think it was a little strange we haven't really seen them since the first execution.
Niah will also lick the wounds on himself and jin, also Nagako because she’s there. ]
… It may be more so that spectres are underground. A lake is a dip into the earth, so possibly closer to where they’re being kept.
[ He strokes his chin. ]
The water was clear. Void of wildlife. You could see the bottom blanketed with broken swords, armor, and chests. At the center of the lake was a broken Angel statue, similar to the ones in the first city.
[ imagine, akira is gone when both dads wake up after fighting. i swear to god
but yes, grooming time. Jin is a smol fox bean and well-behaved under licks. But she will take charge of it now!! Grooms both Niah and Nagako. ]
It's a change compared to the first city, where there were no adults to be found.
[ Oh? That does make him think of the books he read this week and shared already. He doesn't have them on hand since he had to go return them but. ] There is a connection here with the Angels after all.
Nagako is receptive to licks and rolls over, tail wagging. ]
I'm pretty sure I saw spectres too, at the Southern Isles. I scoped it out with Nanaly, there were the same wispy inky things at the bottom of the Isles. I didn't feel anything, but that's not new.
I had thought so. When I was meditating there, it was... Strange. Then someone visited me and was looking around the isles like we were going to be ambushed at any moment.
[ spectres EVERYWHERE. ]
I was able to fish out a trunk from the bottom of the lake. There was a book inside that had the title “The Removal of Shadows” by The Magi. All of the pages inside of it was ripped out, though I do not think we would have been able to read it if the pages weren't.
Too bad it didn't have any blood on it, or if it did, it'd be washed off by now.
[ Instead he gets to save his readings for murder, yay. ]
This isn't related, but I wanted to bring it up before trial. I spoke with Ulrika in private at the ball, and she couldn't confirm whether Monika was the right person or not.
[ Glances over to Joonghyuk, giving a considering look. ]
The Magi? ...There was that book I found in the library that kept mentioning "Magisterium", about the experiments of some Church doing on their idea of sinners. "These experiments would have been done as a means to rid themselves of being oppressed."
[ Maybe a connection? Or not. ]
Hmm, I didn't think it'd be that easy. We really only have the evidence we gathered at the time and what Ulrika was able to share with her note, assuming the killer stays back from murdering again.
[ Figures. Right in front of their son and everything??? Of course Dokja can tell when Joonghyuk is serious, so he brings out his sword to defend himself. ]

It's fine- This is just how Yoo Joonghyuk, unfortunately, "talks."

Alright. Just try not to bleed over everything. [ Holds up his right hand and flexes his fingers. ]

It is to the point some parts of their clothes are torn and they do having bleeding cuts. It’s fine. Joonghyuk brought bandages. ]

I believe there are spectres in the lake past the dense forest.

...Spectres? Really?
no subject
I tried diving into the lake and felt a sense of dread… Then it seemed like it wanted to drag me down under.
It is definitely the same feeling as when we saw a spectre that very first week.
