blinking several times at the blurry intensified world as taeil looked through the glasses he’d loved to wear all too much, he made his way through the city. squinting as he walked, he could make out the large structures through the glasses; such as buildings and cars that sped by honking their horn when he got ever too close to the street...but it was the little things he had troubles with, like street signs and pillars, even people at times.

it was far from a surprise when the young looking boy walked head first right into the pole of a street sign, glasses cracking as he fell back onto his bottom and let out a loud groan.

“HMPH!”

pulling the glasses from his face, taeil let out a loud, dramatic gasp that drew attention from the crowd of people who’d been walking by, his fingers shook and his face went from confused to on the verge of tears.

“My glasses!” he let out with a bit of a yell, trying to see through the shattered lens, his voice cracked. “My...glasses.”

“Excuse me, I’m sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you knew anything about when the opening for the big comic reveal was?” the young man asked the stranger who also stood outside the large comic store. He had looked everywhere online, but to no luck, he found nothing and he needed to know how soon he would need to get his tent, as he’d planned to camp out in front of the building the night before.

The young man emerged from his apartment building with a warm blanket draped over his shoulders and a very, very hot coffee in hand. Sniffling and yawning as he squinted at the sun, the young man ventured out into the ‘real world’ with nothing but contempt and the desire to go back in, but his father had called and practically begged him to leave his home, go for a walk, so that was exactly what he was doing.

until his body collided with another, that is.

gasping when he crashed into the person, his very hot coffee managed to slip from his fingers and spill all over the poor innocent passing person.

It was the dreary, clouded rainy mornings that Godfrey enjoyed the most. A simple umbrella and he could actually go out without the irritating weakness to the sun, of course the clouds would occasionally let rays of sun poke through, but the umbrella helped with the more than people would realize.

One hand slipped into his pocket, the other holding the umbrella over his head to repel the rain from soaking his expensive suit, the tall man routinely lifted a wrist to check his watch, keeping track of the time, he knew later in the day the sun would come out more and his free time would end. While looking down at his watch, the man bumped harshly into somebody walking the opposite way; blinking rapidly and looking down at the person he was quick to offer a hand.

Yonghwa is a little shit, but at least he’s not a cruel one. He wants to zoom through the challenge because he’s starving and doesn’t have time to send people on scavenger hunts or perform complicated feats. They’re all starving and he wants to get through this hellish game as quickly as possible. He’s laying on his stomach with his chin propped up in his hands, legs kicking behind him out of habit without his tail.

“I’ll pick something really easy, okay?” he said. He struggles to think of something short and sweet that wouldn’t be too obvious of an attempt to whiz through the game. Yonghwa didn’t want to think about the possible consequences if someone was caught cheating. The merman chews on his lips as he considered his options, then burst into giggles when he finally thought of a desire he can enjoy.

“You have three options,” he said, holding back laughter, “You can either entertain me, spoil me, or flatter me.” He snorts in an attempt to stifle back laughter, then forces his face into a serious expression. “In fact, you can do all three in a row if you would like to chow down on a bunch of food until it’s my turn.”

He held up his index finger, interrupting his own train of thought.

“But, you have to keep going until I’m satisfied. It’s not fair if you do a half-assed job, but I have to do really well on my turn. Deal? Go on ahead, I’m waiting.”
