     DOON-JU  .
Tumblr media
       “It broke,” he says flatly, lying. If she wants to figure out how it’s doing, she can do so with her usual skillset. Conversations like these usually ended early, and on Doon-ju’s account. But she’s no stranger to his steely answers and sifting past his stoniness, especially since he’s more than tolerated it in the past. It’s strange reviving this familiarity in the 21st century, but at least it tells him to close conversation before she tries to finish it sometime else on her own terms.
        Though Ji-won’s employment status surprises him, he doesn’t show it. Instead, he raises his brows, looking simultaneously neutral and derisive. “What, as a cover for grand larceny? Smart.”
Tumblr media
          SHE  CAN’T  HELP  BUT  roll  her  eyes  once  more  .  does  anyone  ever  catch  doon-ju  in  a  good  mood  ?  or  is  he  hellbent  on  maintaining  this  loner  facade  ?  what  are  the  odds  that  the  two  of  them  were  living  in  the  same  city  ?  granted  ,  he  was  probably  living  somewhere  plush  in  manhattan  because  it’s  clear  this  city  favors  vampires  .  she  could  look  into  it  ––  no  .  no  .  she  doesn’t  do  that  anymore  .  light  breaking  and  entering  ?  jiwon  hasn’t  done  that  in  years  .
“  you  have  such  a  way  with  words  ,  doon-ju  .  funny  too  ,  ”  she  sarcastically  quips  .  “  but  no  .  i  have  an  actual  job  .  i’m  a  video  game  developer  .  even  went  to  school  for  it  .  ”

Cedric fake laughed at the other for sarcastic affect at Ji-won’s joke before smiling, immediately letting it slide off as teasing was their main form of love sometimes. “I’m not pissed off at them, I’m just honestly trying to vibe you know, keep the vibe in here right until we have like  security and the performers show up because otherwise what the hell.”  they mentioned before actually laughing lightly. “I am european technically…. whales was europe for a long while. Don’t remind me of brexit man.”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
           SHE  DOESN’T  BOTHER  HIDING  HER  AMUSEMENT  .  “  small  talk  must  be  the  absolute  WORST  for  you  ,  ”  ji-won  comments  with  a  light  chuckle  .  “  but  i  get  that  .  not  to  rub  it  in  or  anything  but  i  am  a  little  glad  i  don’t  have  a  job  that  deals  with  drunk  people  .  video  game  testers  are  something  else  but  i’m  not  personally  dealing  with  them  ,  ”  she  laughs  .  “  okay  y’know  what  ?  fair  .  does  that  mean  i’m  european  because  i  did  live  in  london  for  some  time  ?  ”

location II in line @ random coffee shop 
          aiyana give a small smile towards the barista as they handed her back her change. the only thing she had been craving was the toasted almond latte from this particular coffee shop for some reason. she put back in her air-pods, only to immediately take them out when she heard the familiar static like voices. unsure if it had to do with her … banshee senses or if someone had actually said something. “ - did you say something?” saying out loud to the person next to her, eyes flickering around quizzically. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
          EYES  ZERO  IN  ON  the  fallen  object  near  the  other  woman  .  furrowing  her  brows  ,  ji-won  makes  her  way  over  to  pick  it  up  .  “  hey  ––  ”  calls  out  to  the  other  .  “  are  these  ––  ”  pauses  when  she  spots  the  airpods  .  she  takes  a  step  closer  and  taps  her  shoulder  lightly  .  “  totally  don’t  mean  to  bother  ,  ”  offers  a  polite  smile  .  “  but  i  think  you  dropped  this  ?  ”  holds  the  object  in  question  up  .  “  it  looked  important  .  ”

She shakes the other’s hand firmly. “It definitely is…whoever it was really said “HAPPY NEW YEAR!”, huh?” The girl thinks she’s funny when in all reality no one’s laughing. “It’s lovely to meet you, Jiwon. How long have you been here?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
          “  IT’S  A  SUPER  FUCKED  UP  way  of  ringing  in  the  new  year  .  ”  but  ji-won’s  seen  a  lot  .  it  shouldn’t  be  surprising  but  it  is  .  she’s  evaded  death  for  so  long  that  it  now  feels  like  it’s  within  reach  .  if  the  vampires  aren’t  safe  ,  who’s  to  say  she  ,  a  gumiho  ,  is  ?  “  i’d  say  about  seven  years  now  ?  ”  kinda  true  but  also  kind  of  a  lie  .  “  i  moved  here  for  college  and  stayed  ever  since  .  you  ?  ”

Open starter : @duskstart​ Location: Warren Distillery
Tumblr media
She had been working at the Distillery, assisting others with events for the New Year, and of course any Wine tasting appointments. Mia had been keeping busy, ever since hearing about the Event. It brought a sense of sadness, she was familiar with passing, and deep down it scared her. But she put on a brave face, looking down at her schedule, she written a name down. Looking up she saw someone “Hi, can I help you?”
Tumblr media
          SHE’S  AWARE  THAT  THERE  are  some  that  are  still  grieving  the  death  of  a  fashion  icon  .  ji-won  didn’t  know  all  that  well  and  has  really  only  spoken  to  her  in  passing  .  either  way  ,  life  goes  on  and  she  technically  had  a  celebration  planned  for  the  lunar  new  year  .  which  is  what  brings  her  to  the  distillery  .  “  hi  ,  ”  smiles  politely  at  the  other  woman  .  “  actually  yeah  ,  you  guys  do  personalizations  ,  right  ?  ”

Tumblr media
          “  I  HONESTLY  THINK  WE  should  start  gatekeeping  at  this  point  ,  ”  ji-won  can’t  help  but  joke  when  she  overhears  the  estelle’s  comment  .  “  the  fear  is  that  everyone  will  start  coming  here  now  and  then  i’m  gonna  have  to  switch  up  laundry  day  .  ”  it’s  not  that  her  own  personal  washer  and  dryer  unit  doesn’t  work  ,  but  she  kinda  prefers  the  laundromat  from  time  to  time  .

“you're not just gonna stand there are you?” chace really felt he was in his element instead of some stuffy hole in the wall bar. “you're supposed to be having fun, remember?” he teased reaching down he takes their hand, itching for some chaos. “c'mon i know the thing you need.”

Location: Could be anywhere
Time: Any time before sun down
While the Oak Ash Cemetery was something of a haven for Fitzwilliam, the fact of the matter was that the place could start to feel an awful lot like a prison sometimes. It was during these times, that the eternally young man would take to just wandering around the streets of New York, without a destination in mind. He had watched the city change a lot over the past hundred years, and it was easy to become melancholy when he found himself reflected on how through all of that change, he had pretty much stayed exactly the same. “Hey excuse me. Can I ask you something?” He said, stopping someone who was walking in the opposite direction on the sidewalk. “This is going to seem like a very strange question, but have you ever taken a moment to look at the world around you, and realized that you hardly recognize anything about it? And then wondered how that could have happened in the short time since you last looked around at the world?”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
          WALKS  AROUND  THE  STREETS  of  manhattan  weren’t  all  too  uncommon  for  ji-won  .  staten  island  feels  like  a  prison  to  her  with  every  passing  day  .  if  she  had  it  her  way  ,  she’d  be  living  comfortably  in  manhattan  .  the  last  time  she  found  herself  in  new  york  ,  it  was  in  the  middle  of  the  supernatural  war  .  unwilling  to  be  around  so  much  violence  and  chaos  ,  she  left  .  with  her  earbuds  in  ,  she  continues  ambling  down  the  street  .  the  fox  stops  ,  pausing  her  music  and  turns  to  face  the  other  .  “  are  you  going  through  like  ...  an  existential  crisis  ?  ”  she  can’t  help  but  ask  .  although  ,  she  does  ponder  on  his  question  .  she’s  been  alive  for  over  700  years  and  she’s  seen  so  much  .  the  rise  and  fall  of  empires  .  towns  turning  into  cities  .  cities  modernizing  .  “  but  yeah  i  guess  in  a  sense  .  and  then  it  just  spirals  into  this  whole  ,  your  existence  in  this  universe  is  only  temporary  .  ”  how  ironic  for  ji-won  .  “  and  you’re  just  a  speck  of  dust  in  the  grand  scheme  of  things  .  ”

“You sure? You’ve got the bladder of a peanut, peanut.” They teased right back at their friend with ease. “I mean it doesn’t really matter like I don’t need it, but it’s the principle of the rotation man, it got all fucked up and I got shafted, but! Here we were anyways…” They breathed out after the vent about now working so early. “Oh yeah I mean a 9 pm snack is really very european really.”

          “  THAT’S  A  WEIRD  WAY  of  talking  about  yourself  ,  ”  ji-won  retorts  ,  fondly  shaking  her  head  at  cedric  .  “  it’s  fine  .  you’ll  be  able  to  join  the  rest  of  society  and  not  be  as  pissed  off  at  the  customers  .  ”  there’s  a  bright  side  to  it  ,  she  thinks  .  “  well  we’re  not  europeans  so  we  definitely  don’t  have  to  adopt  that  .  ”

     DOON-JU  .
        Doon-ju was so close to feeling a swath of the city’s polluted air. But before he finally resigns himself to that dingy fate, he knows he’s caught. Despite it being centuries, he’ll probably never forget her voice. It was a voice accompanied with the theft of his wares, and one that he’s heard numerous times over his expansive lifespan.
        He would’ve been a little glad to see her if his humanity switch wasn’t half-toggled — though he also would never admit anything of the sort. But at his current state, he’s not the same man as he was before. People who’ve met him only in the last century would just chalk him up as an asshole. Although that’s a factual reputation that he’s sustained over his expansive lifespan, he’s not thrilled to hash out the yo-yo-like changes to his character development to someone who knew him when he was hundreds of years less mature. Even if they did meet when he was at his most brutal.
Tumblr media
        Finally, he sighs and turns, not betraying even a hint of surprise. There’d be no point anyway. His eyes dart around her get-up now that he has a closer view. At least he’ll never miss that hair from a mile away. “Acquaintance? You mean the reason why I have property insurance?”
          JI-WON  WOULDN’T  BE  SURPRISED  if  doon-ju  ignored  her  and  left  .  it  seemed  very  in  character  for  him  to  do  so  !  and  quite  frankly  ,  she’s  convinced  the  vampire  holds  a  dislike  towards  everyone  .  maybe  that’s  why  he’s  always  alone  .  or  at  least  all  the  times  she  encounters  him  .  and  yet  ,  doon-ju’s  attitude  never  really  bothered  her  .  it’s  actually  amusing  in  her  opinion  .
Tumblr media
“  you  say  that  as  if  i  didn’t  return  it  ,  ”  rolls  her  eyes  dramatically  .  technically  ,  it  was  deemed  worthless  but  still  .  she  had  the  decency  to  return  it  .  “  i  promise  you  those  days  are  behind  me  .  i  have  a  legit  job  and  everything  .  ”  let’s  not  talk  about  the  stolen  artwork  that’s  currently  residing  in  her  safe  house  .  “  how  is  that  little  piece  of  art  doing  ,  anyways  ?  ”

it was fairly quiet, something aaron wasn’t completely used to. maybe it came with being in a place for quite some time, which he hated, which is also why he liked to move around, or maybe he was losing his touch. he is however, still working and not just here for whatever drama he could piece together, so he returns to the bar, slinging the towel he was drying the glasses with over his shoulder. “so, what can i get you tonight?” @duskstart​
Tumblr media
          SHE’S  DEFINITELY  GOTTEN  THE  schedule  mixed  up  .  ji-won  showed  up  to  the  flame  with  the  intention  of  bothering  cedric  while  he’s  working  .  but  that  didn’t  end  up  being  the  case  .  however  ,  she’s  here  now  so  it  doesn’t  hurt  to  grab  a  drink  or  two  .  seating  herself  by  the  bar  ,  she  scans  the  menu  .  “  i’ll  take  a  strawberry  mojito  .  and  i  gotta  ask  ,  what’s  your  opinion  on  the  truffle  fries  ?  ”

     GABRIEL TAKES A STEP BACK INSTINCTIVELY, growing up in la and then moving to new york has made him weary of people approaching with questions to ask. but she seems harmless. “you’re doing a whole survey to prove a point?” gabriel repeats, slightly impressed but also finding it pointless; he hasn’t made up his mind yet. “and what’s it for?”
