I think the idea is that "meaningful" is subjective. What one person may find important may be of little note to someone else. It would almost be easier for strangers, I think.
During the apocalypse, people will take advantage of you. Once they’ve had enough, they’ll kill you because they’d be rewarded with coins from Constellations that find violence fun and entertaining.
With them, yes. They think of those dying on the battlefield on their screen as toys. It's just a story for them to consume, an escape from boredom.
Why would you want to talk to beings that don't see you and your suffering as anything more than reality TV? The only reason you would open communication is for bargaining. Negotiations. Demands. Of course these prompt possible threats on your life.
I will take it as it's something you may wish to see.
[ me crying as i send this memory late but i am giving it to you.
Stardust shimmers and it's an apocalyptic world, freshly ruined only a month or two ago. Joonghyuk knows the next scenario, the Disaster of Floods, will be difficult, but he has little worries. The Disaster is his ally, after all? Except... Well. She was. When she wakes, she's disappointed to know the information she gave him wasn't enough. She decides being put through the thousand years of suffering to bring him information and abandoning her world aren't worth his failures, so she floods Seoul with monsters and tries to kill him and everyone else.

[ It's okay. Joonghyuk never watched it until this hotel. ]
Yuri Leclerc was curious, so I watched it with him to keep him company.

Where did you want to play?

Did you find your task difficult to complete otherwise?
[also if there are no objections, they will head that way.]
no subject
[ They may go. ]
"Meaningful" is difficult to gauge when my prospects are strangers and I am doing a task for my own benefit, but a task is a task.
[ Joonghyuk is annoyed, obviously, but he will accomplish what he needs. Even if he finishes things stupidly. ]

[ So it is not almost easier for strangers to him. It isn't completely true since at random he does something nice.
Depends on the day. They can start playing, Joonghyuk is claiming black pieces. Is there black?? ]
no subject
there are black pieces, sure.]
Do you think of yourself as a selfish person?
[they can start playing and we will handwave that's happening in the background.]
no subject
I had to be.
no subject
Might I ask why that is?

...it is truly a wonder you haven't tried to burn down this whole hotel, actually.
[SOMETIMES. THERE ARE SIMILARITIES ON ACCIDENT.]
Is there any way to change the minds of the Constellations?
no subject
[ For Now. ]
They are not so different from people. The most obstinate are impossible to persuade. I personally see it a waste.
no subject
...regardless. You truly think communication is a waste? Is this a decision you made on your own, or by experience?
no subject
With them, yes. They think of those dying on the battlefield on their screen as toys. It's just a story for them to consume, an escape from boredom.

no subject
Isn't your life already being threatened by their existence in the first place? Even if you don't speak up at all.
no subject
Yes, but you can become strong enough to match them, to drag them down, and to kill them.
[ don't we love a story about climbing the corporate ladder and beating up the board of directors ]

You're anticipating waiting around for the Nightman to kill him, aren't you.
no subject
I believe I’ve shown interest before.
no subject
no subject
[ I hope the Nightman ends up being sympathetic blorbo or something and yjh would need to rethink everything ]
no subject
I obviously cannot encourage you to do so. But I certainly cannot stop you from doing as you wish either.

However, with the help of companions and Kim Dokja (after him dying again), they are able to subdue the disaster of floods. This is how they want to resolve the scenario. ]

[memerie....hei lmk if you want one back then.

...the inevitable future, is it? Did she ever learn to live that way, too...?
