R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

Ohhh, gotcha. Hey, don't choke, kid.

[ Mmmhmm, sure. Sure. ]

Pet names in general aren't really my style, but that doesn't mean there aren't people out there who like that shit. You never know...

[starswink]

I guess you have a point but... [in fact being embarrassed would not stop Yoosung from absolutely loving it if someone called him pet names, but that is clearly neither here or there!]

Well, it was already kind of a thing when we started calling each other our first names! Korean and Japanese normally only do that with the people we're comfortable with. I think that's significant enough for how we relate.

[Yoosung is confident this will be a satisfactory answer. He's a little flustered still, but he didn't think anyone else would have thought he was something different to him from the sunbae role he was thinking about. After all, that explained perfectly when it came to his manic fixation on both being acknowledged by him and keeping him happy and safe.

...But if he thinks about it that way, it isn't unlike the girl in the apartment...]

[donotlick]

Ohhh, yeah, guess that'd be weird, huh. I always tell people to call me Hank since I'm not on the job.

[ But certainly once upon a time it was all "Anderson". ]

So you guys are pretty good friends, huh? Maybe you oughta ask him to call you Sunbae.

[starswink]

[He thinks that would be so cute. But really unnecessary.]

Hehe, I could, but we're not really in a college heirarchy so we probably don't have to. We're equals in the guild at least!

[donotlick]

[ But cute tho. ]

Fair enough. You guys came up with that together, huh? What's the story there?

[starswink]

Oh, how it was founded? [Yoosung is a bit amused that he's the first one to ask about that. Everyone just kind of accepted it at face value somehow.]

Well... Yuuki wanted to back me up if I ever had to see Grantaire again. From there, we just kind of figured other victims would want a safe space too, and so we decided to model ourselves on a combination of the Phantom Thieves and my Guild in LOLOL. Although we're more like a guild since we both game and we don't really know how the thieves operate. So that's more of an homage to them and the fact that we're "ghosts."

[He actually does the airquotes since they know now that this isn't what they are....]

[donotlick]

Oh, yeah, that Phantom Thief thing...

[ Did Akira ever tell him about that? I don't think so, but he's heard enough people talk. ]

So it was a murdered versus murderer thing, huh? How'd that work out for you?

[starswink]

Uhh... [He thinks about them one by one.] Viral and Henry was an accident. Maya might join but she's not scared of 2D. Your killer... [was a hat lol.] Isn't here.... and neither are Connor and Rebecca's.

...So in the end, everyone's getting along, so we don't have to do anything?

[Well that just makes them sound kinda useless. He puffs up confidently to make up for it.]

But peace is a good thing! That's why we have other mission statements besides just that!

[donotlick]

Yeah, better that than everybody ripping on each other.

[ Hank smirks. If it's a cute club then it's a cute club. That's ok. ]

Oh, yeah? What're your other 'mission statements'?
