The deity groans and lets himself inside of his dwelling, shutting the door behind him. It’s really rather unfair that someone who can cook has moved in so close to him when he’s either eating take out or warming up something in the microwave ever night for his own meal. Jungsoo unhooks his cufflinks and rolls his white sleeves up to the elbow. Then he glances into the mirror on the wall in the hallway to make sure that his hair looks all right.

Because he’s going to go over there and knock on the door.

Usually he isn’t the type of person to ask for handouts but he just can’t take the lovely scent any longer. Jungsoo figures that if he puts on enough charm she’ll be willing to share her meal with him. Of course, he’s not going to outright ask for it, however. Or maybe he will.

01.01 - Into the Ring “They gave a vague shrug. I say we go with it.” “Who sent you?” “We met at the bar, we had a few drinks, and I don’t remember anything after that.” “Please, you have to believe me, I didn’t kill him.” “If there’s a stunning woman with questionable character in the room, you’re gonna find her and I’m gonna suffer.” “I’ll try not to make any cooing noises for the rest of this meeting.” “Do you know who’s trying to kill you?” “They killed _____ because of me.” “Can you at least pretend to be cold? It’s unsettling.”

01.02 - Cut Man “You know I’m still here, right?” “The wound on your side… knife?” “I’m really not looking for a guy to die on my couch.” “I-I can’t see! I can’t see! _-_____, I can’t see!” “Convince me it’s worth it.” “You’re very good at taking a beating.” “You gaze at me lovingly when you think I’m not looking.” “A man broke into my apartment and tried to kill me.” “I drank the eeeeeeeeeel!” “You have not lived until you’ve argued with a 90-year-old Okinawa survivor about sturgeon meat.” “You don’t have to be scared anymore.”

01.03 - Rabbit in a Snowstorm “You gotta bad attitude, friend.” “We should not be doing this.” “There’s something off about this whole thing.” “For the record, this is the first time you’ve ever said I was right. I hate it.” “It’s a clean slate, a chance to put it all behind you.” “Five days. That’s what this will buy you.” “Get the hell out of my office.” “_______ was up about half an hour. Asked about you.” “Go home. Get some rest. You’ve gotta big day tomorrow.” “Stay down.” “You better leave my city. Tonight.” “We’ve been leaving a trail of bodies and trails eventually lead somewhere.” “I have two kids and they’re all that matter to me right now.”

01.04 “We don’t need anyone else. Only each other.” “You’re gonna get yourself killed. You really need to ease up.” “You think us weak?” “It’s an offer, not an order.” “Don’t bullshit me.” “Let’s find our way again… together.” “Tell me about the man who did this to you.” “That’s either very romantic or very sad.” “A woman that can be bought isn’t worth having.” “It’s for girls isn’t it? It’s a new phone just for your girls.” “Those men are going to hurt ____ because of me.” “It hurts, doesn’t it? Being in pain, being afraid.” “You know, my mom wanted my to be a butcher.”

01.05 - In the Blood “I’d like you to stay here. With me.” “That’s a hell of a way to get a girl to move in.” “We have rats now? I’m never sleeping here again.” “They’re gonna shark attack me, _______. Look at me! I’m delicious.” “That’ll buy you a one-way ticket to thirty years in asshole land.” “You can ask me anything, ________, and I will always be honest with you.” “Did she just… Did she… Is this a date?” “You hurt people because you enjoy it.” “I just don’t think I can fall in love with someone… that’s so damn close to becoming what they hate.” “Why’d you look away?” “I know you’re a dangerous man. That’s why I brought a gun to a dinner date.” “On the brightside, ______ gets to touch a lot of pretty girls. On their faces!” “Hey, _________? I want you to touch my face.” “We have to stop the bleeding!”

Things get hectic, they panic, and before they know it they train stops upon reaching its final destination. The fog is thick and eerie, though through the fog of the station, muse a or  muse b can make out a green sign lighting the path of the exit. They can’t see it from the train car and it’s their last stop, so they have no choice but to get out and look for themselves. Upon closer inspection, the lit sign reads ((insert town name of your choice)).

                   don’t be afraid. please, don’t be afraid.
