[ NOT A NEST. IT is just a library. They are walking to a library which Reze will notice eventually. The wolf has noticed someone tailing them, but Joonghyuk hasn't brought it to light yet.
Also.
He does not hold out the door. He just goes in. ]
I tried looking in other areas, but at the moment there's nothing to be found... Or things are avoiding my gaze.
[ She identifies it quickly enough, with Grigory darting forward and catching the door after shifting into his iguana form. Squish.
Reze picks him up as silently as possible, the soft click of the door closing behind her making her grit her teeth. Big woof don't say anything... pwease. ]
Once they're inside, Dokja will help himself to looking around at the various books collected within the library. ]
..A bit small. [ The library, that is. The fox's attention is immediately at the entrance of the library with ears and tail up. ]
Aside from the group meeting we had earlier today, I did talk with Suriel. [ Hmm. ] Have you tried talking with any of the Watchers outside the Temporals?
There's a possibility that I could have overlooked a larger library—or even a computer lab. There's something about this city...
[ Where locations or strange things seem to finally show themselves? Only to some, at certain times, and then others see and notice other things. He doesn't quite like it.
Anyway, time to look through books. ]
I haven't spoken to any of them today, but I do plan on talking to each one privately.
[ Also, Niah is connected to Joonghyuk, so he also knows. The wolf turns to look at her as if to be like "are you sure about this?" ]
[ Reze is... peering from behind a table, squatting down. Overhearing their conversation she takes a moment, lips pressed firmly together before she speaks: ]
What are you gonna ask them?
[ Grigory squirms immediately, knowing that she's done Made A Mess. ]
[ There's a nod to Joonghyuk's words but he says nothing in response. Not when a soft voice sounds out. ]
Oh? Have you decided to join our conversation?
[ Well, Dokja doesn't seem surprised. Of course, he wasn't sure who- only that someone had been tailing him. ]
Probably the same questions you have. Have you talked to any of them yet, Reze?
[ With Reze alerting them of her presence, the fox trots a little on over in the direction with a flick of her tail. As much as she's able while still being close enough to Dokja. ]
[ She doesn't sound disappointed, her tone flat. She lifts herself on her feet and steps a little closer; unhesitating. ]
I spoke to Shamsiel, cause they seemed soft-spoken and easier to get info from. But they seemed almost as clueless as we are... Though they did say that the spectres weren't an enemy in particular but also not something you want to have around. I dunno what to think of it.
[ With her coming closer, Jin jogs on back to Dokja and pushes on her hind legs to paw at his pockets. ]
The spectres seemed tied to whatever is happening here. [ Glancing at Jin, he puts his hand in his pocket to pull out the little angel statue he found at the lighthouse top. ] I spoke with Suriel about this, they told me that the people who live here cherish them, like guardian angels. That they use to be here while offering their protection, but seem to have vanished and they're not sure what made them leave.
[ He pockets the angel again. ] Our best guess is their protection was against the spectres. How else would they have been able to live here otherwise? And now that they are no longer here... makes sense why they're suddenly in danger of these spectres. Still desperately hoping for the angels to save them.
[ Joonghyuk frowns because usually he wouldn't care much for that, but the number they did on the bodies they found is... Concerning. He isn't fond of the possible methods.
Joonghyuk crosses his arms and Niah's gaze is back here instead of an "intruder." ]
Then our theories are cemented. [ From their little Town Hall meeting earlier. ] Did Suriel mention why there are two different sets of angel statues?
... [ Her gaze moves from Dokja to Joonghyuk, and then quickly back to Dokja. ] You know, before we started getting more information I almost thought that some of us were meant to be the spectres. The kids here said that the adults left before we appeared, and it sounded awful convenient.
[ Dokja seems interested in their shared conversation, even as he peeks at some of the books here and there but as soon as Reze brings mention of it... His book snaps shut, brows furrowing a little. He's forgotten how it feels- the suspense of the unknown. ]
..I do. [ Weird. Already he makes his way to the entrance of the library only for-- ] ..They're locked.
[ He tries to push some weight against the door but it doesn't budge. Not even a slight creak. Jin, on the other hand, seems to be peeking outside the window with a low growl. The colors spotted from within the library. ] What is that?
[ Because what defines adult men from the boys is how big are their toys, Joonghyuk also beelines to the same window and shoves Dokja so he can also look through. HE WANTS TO SEE!!!
There sure are strange colors circling and swirling outside as the song continues to play. ]
We’re in an inconvenient place. Without a body of water, we can’t contact the Watchers for answers.
[ She places Grigory onto the floor, only for him to shift into his lynx form with hair raised. Her instincts flare up, nerves following swiftly after her, and yet her expression remains stilled.
Until Joonghyuk comes to shove Dokja. She comes over, gripping the latter's arm so he doesn't topple over thanks to this brute. ]
The Watchers probably don't even have any idea, either. [ Pessimistic, sure, but listen. ] Should we -- The others, they probably all hear it too, right? But if it's locked what can we do?
[ Stupid sunfish bastard shoving people aside, he gives him a look at that but looks curiously in Reze's direction when she steadies him. He offers a small 'thanks' before looking back towards the window. Jin is pacing by it, fur standing a little on ends with an unsettling growl. ]
Since it's locked, we're probably stuck in here. Unless Yoo Joonghyuk can break down that door. [ Raises a brow at him, but good luck cause even if Dokja had shoved all of his weight onto it, it did nothing. ]
We might have to wait until morning and see if someone comes by.
[ That eerie song continues on and as it starts to grow softer... something else starts. The beginning calls of blaring alarms. ]
What is th.. [ Oh, his vision gets wobbly and his body starts to stagger. He's feeling as if he's pushing himself to the limit even more than usual, as though days of sleep are suddenly catching up to him. ] I.. Huh?
[ A hand catches him on the nearest furniture he can grab, but it's a bit too late for his daemon who is already collapsing into a heap of white fur. ]
[ HE WILL TRY TO BREAK DOWN THE DOOR?? ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SEES FRIENDS READY TO COLLAPSE and he's feeling the sleepies now.
Anyway, he will try to ram down the door, but it doesn't work. Niah also changes into his jaguar form, trying to help, but we are going to fall asleep and cuddle with his big cat, I guess. ]
[ Grigory is laid out comfortably on the floor, the pressing his body firmly against the cool feeling. Reze can feel that odd sense of comfort, preparing her to sleep, and for a moment she feels like she may need to thank Dokja for keeping her upright. ]
Please... [ She's acting, but she genuinely also wants to get out of here? What the fuck is going on -- ]
Dokja!? Are you okay? Joo... Joo... [ Her eyelids begin to grow heavy, the sound of Joonghyuk slamming into the door growing distant. Her fingers unravel from Dokja's arm almost unwilling, arm swinging backward before her back knocks against a shelf.
[ Distantly, there's the sound of books falling? The door echoing as Joonghyuk works on ramming against it. With Reze no longer there to help them support each other, he knows it will not end well. All Dokja knows is one second he's upright and then he's collapsing onto the ground, a brief sensation of pain shooting through his body until he's completely passed out.
Also no taboo daemon cuddling unless it's with your own daemon, mods are gonna slap our hands. >:/ ]

[ ..It also may have slipped his mind. He was more interested in something else he had asked of them. ]
