[ And directly taking someone's idea… how unoriginal!! But his eyes narrow into near crescents with something of a playful smile. ]
You're the one who decided to intrude on an interesting dream. Call it a bit of experimentation on my part. The more outlandish the scenario, the more easily one can accept that they're in a dream, right? I didn't think it'd have worked so well, but I suppose the source content did provide quite the vivid imagery.
[ Sure, Yuwon could have methods that would make Elysium talk. The question is, does he really want him to?? ]
So what's it like? Being a vampire. Now that I think about it, you're almost perfect for the role: as broody and gloomy as you are.
[ he's clearly expecting some kind of answer here, or else he wouldn't look nearly as amused…… ]
no subject
regardless of whether he considers this explanation a truth or not, he doesn't seem to point that fact out. instead, he considers it food for thought.
vivid imargery, my ass.
but, he supposed it was an easier "dream" or memory to swallow than anything he's encountered thus far. jk, it was probably worse in some ways. intimate in a way that was entirely separate than sharing an actual part of you.
when he asks his question, he places a finger to his mouth, as if feeling around for the fangs behind his skin. ] Not exactly great. I just feel thirsty. [ ... ] You're one to talk after making me like this. [ but well... ] Tell me more about this place.
[ or else, he'll have to suck you dry like a juice box. ]
no subject
But, Elysium will relent on the point of romancing for now. If Yuwon thinks the flowers and chocolates won't come back to haunt him one day just because he's given Elysium a pointed look, well, he's thought wrong.
More importantly, there's their "reality" to contend with. Which, truly is worse than many other memories when at least in them, you could occasionally get away with being a spectator; in this one, Yuwon is fully made a part of the fantasy. ]
Woah there, wooooah. Let's not get aggressive again. You're nowhere near my first choice to dream about either, you know? We might as well make the most of the situation. Like, say, I could take you to the blood bank?
[ He holds up one hand while the other hovers around his sword out of self-defense. He's not actually going to unsheathe it, but Yuwon is a regular vampire in this au… so no webtoon powers unless he'd like to try and make up some blood arts with the power of imagination. ]
… Pffff—hahaha. Well, regardless, you've made it to Rhodes Island, the pharmaceutical [ and paramilitary ] company I worked for before LILITH. I'm not sure what else you want me to tell you, other than that we do have vampires and the facilities to properly care for them. So, this really wasn't all me.
[ 'properly care for them,' he says, like a pet?? ]
no subject
jk, but yuwon doesn't seem to refute elysium's point. he'd genuinely hope he'd have better things to dream about than this. however, while he's not offended by his statement, he is by the clear fact that elysium seems to be dodging any sense of culpability here when ... listen, his world isn't the one with furries and vampires.
his mood does seem to becoming slightly lighter at his explanation. though, he knows its a temporary appeasement considering elysium could easily switch up on him. ... or that's what yuwon believes elysium to be fully capable of, at least. ] I didn't expect a flashy guy like you to work at a pharmaceutical company. [ even if it's just that in name. he distinctly remembers elysium bringing up flagbearing and war, but... even then, it's not like he could make out the full picture with the limited details he had. after all, he tried to avoid speculation when he could. anyway, ]
What work do you normally do? [ also, idk let furries be the in the bg, so he can see.
bc the closest thing to a furry he knows is son ohgong (jk this is rude). ]
no subject
But sure, just let him bandage up his wound before he leaves a trail of blood in their wake… it appears he's pretty resourceful to have a first aid kit at the ready and on his person. There's already some of it on the floor, and he might be deliberating the ethics of leaving it there even if it's a dream—but ultimately decides, well, a little blood here and there wouldn't be the strangest thing someone could encounter.
… probably. Regular pharmaceutical company, yeah. ]
That's rather presumptuous of you. What did you expect, model? At the end of the day, it all comes down to whether I decide to put my mind to it or not since I tend to pick things up quite quickly.
[ one of those… guys…
So, could he be Doctor Elysium? Possible…… Anyway, it doesn't take long to patch himself up so he'll start walking. Once they're out of that corridor in particular, Yuwon can feast his eyes on all the furries and scalies he'd like, some much less humanoid than the rest. But yes, all sorts of kemonomimi and yet he gets saddled with vampire. Wonder why that is. ]
But, officially——I normally just do what my captain tells me to do. Otherwise, I'm usually on the field. You won't find anyone with a better sense of direction than me, anywhere.
[ pharmaceutical company things!! yeah!!!!!!!!! ]
no subject
when he sees elysium bust out the first aid kit, he has a lot to say? is he being treated like he has rabies or something? he didn't think the wound be that big of a deal. especially, in the midst of a dream, and so he can only stand there awkwardly as if asking if this is all necessary? while he was going to open his mouth with a remark about spitting on his wounds, he ends up stopping himself.
no, he didn't want to make this more convoluted. especially when elysium is there spitting out the words "model" without any shred of shame. though, he can't refute that elysium was an attractive man, maybe seeming a bit too youthful and energetic at times. but, objectively he had unique features, and probably would have been known in the tower of being handsome. (why did you make me type this). ] Good to know you're modest.
[ but, he does follow behind elysium. his eyes scanning the individuals who colored this world. they all seemed to be some type of ... creature. fur, scales. he looks back to elysium and his feathers. ] I didn't realize even you answer to a superior. You must keep your Captain's hands full. [ what was that about assumptions again? ] Directions? ... so you were kind of like a guide?
no subject
And why is he being judged for wrapping up a wound, anyway… They might be in a dream, but it won't stop the residents of his conscious from wondering why tf he's walking around with one. Because you were so gracious to describe Elysium's physical features, there's no denying that Elysium himself feels similarly about Yuwon; he stands tall and commanding, his face is chiseled framed by high cheekbones that accentuate his features. His dark, piercing eyes gleam with intensity despite his apparent dispassion. His muscular build, mentioned to be a product of good genetics, is evident even under well-fitted clothes, leaving no doubt about the strength he likely possesses. He exudes a quiet yet potent allure, making him impossible to ignore even in a crowded room.
No doubt: he could be a model, too. (i kms) ]
Come now. She tries to beat me to a pulp every time we meet. Don't you think I deserve to have a little fun for that?
[ He isn't offended though, only amused. There's an argument to be made that he's only perpetuating the cycle here, but don't call him out on it. It isn't worth it. ]
But I work as a navigator where it matters, yeah. They're the jobs I happen to enjoy the most. More often, I'm responsible for managing communication channels on a battlefield and assisting in covert operations. [ A beat, if only because he's talked an awful lot about himself and now it's time to pivot. ] What about you, Mister Yuwon? You know a lot about me at this point, yet I could hardly say the same about you. What do you do that beats any conventional workout regimen?
