[when dokja rings the bell, shadows appear before him, etc. also i forgot to mention this last time but this week, cetus has blue, energy-like wings coming from their back.]
[ oh, some lovely wings you have there. Dokja is sporting his own set of wings, but they are large black feathery ones. though a closer look will show various twinkling across the black-- like constellations. ]
I've never been one to be so open with my feelings.
[ so it was certainly.. a struggle. but he offers a knowing smile. because maybe that's exactly why he got. this kind of task. looks into camera. anyways, Jin is also here and trotting up to Cetus to repeat the last ritual of sitting in front of them and pawing briefly at her head. ]
[sacrifice is now his! as stated on the menu, it will allow him to either a) transfer any degree of his own injuries to a living target, where they'll remain or b) transfer any degree of a living target's injuries to himself, where they'll return to the original target after 24 hours. this does not include potential dealbreaking/squicky injuries like limb loss for ooc reasons! one use only.
[ say i use the transfers onto self on fri night like a gremlin, would it be in effect until sat night for the 24 hours or will it just not be in effect at all during trial. me confirming if it is 100% a no-go for trial shenanigans and that i ask this now so i'm not bothering later :creature: but otherwise this is a good power for someone like kim dokja to have certainly. his sacrificial needs.
Jin leans a little heavily into the pets. she is a melting pile of white fur and nine tails. ]
While you're still here, mind if I ask you something? I'm curious to know if you have a favorite story.
Not a lot of people have one, so it's alright. You can tell me any story if you don't particularly have a favorite. [ a hum. ] I'd ask for your personal story but I'm not sure if that will be breaching any contracts or something.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

Hence why it's a challenge. Now, give me your key for a moment.

Jin just wiggles excitedly but remains still enough for pets. ]

they hand it back to dokja.]
There you go.

I appreciate the service, Cetus.

A favourite story? I can't say I've thought much about it before...

It might. Hm... a story, then.
[they're silent for a while, as though thinking. then, finally—]
... Once, there was a woman who chose to help defend a group of people, even when she didn't belong to them personally.

Were they complete strangers to her? Or was she familiar with them, despite not belonging?

Unfortunately, the world isn't one that rewards compassion so easily.
