⥽⥼ residence 3

@shin ⋄ dongwook [] Okay! So do you want the residence room to be called rectory? And I think this ends their rp? We can always rp as Taehyung if you wanna but I'll let you decide if you wanna rp with others instead who might be more fun to actually affect instead of us. As Lord V said, he's only observing you so you won't need to rp with us if you have any questions : ) ]

*Maybe if it was another entity who entered your dream first other than Lord V, it would have taken trial and error to control your dream completely. But the moment Lord V entered the dream, whatever control you had was given to him. Consider it almost like sleep paralysis. A nightmarish sleep paralysis that seemed off yet real. Still, he did not choose to frighten you or affect your waking memory- which is why he had to include the other entity into this dream. His power was too strong that if he didn't, nightmares would startle you and scar you during sleep paralysis. When you wake up, you would even recall our conversation- which was not right. You were not supposed to recall our conversation so he tried to avoid scarring you at all costs.*

*He too had noticed you chanted the words in religion as if you were trying to steady yourself to his presence. Many a time religious people did this as some superstition that their god would protect them from temptation. And yet...he didn't seem hurt by such things. Almost as if things like holy water and other silly beliefs did not actually affect him as popularily thought. He /did/ have one great weakness though. A weakness that could cause his whole self to become vulnerable. Not because of death but something else. But that's besides the point.*

*To be truly devoted to a fake god who could not hear your prayers- at least in a world ruled by an entity who never considered themself a god in the human means. That was one thing that even Lord V found almost admirable about humans. That unfaltering and baseless faith. Now as he observed you go through your thoughts, his lips barely smirked. Fascinating. He will very much look forward to your behavior in this world.*

*he lifted his brow when you leaned forward* is there a reason you are leaning towards me? Ah, you wish to show off your jewelry? *he reached a hand and casually handled it, rubbing his thumb as it glinted towards him* Yes hm. I have a much more exciting piece of jewelry *he is about to stand up to usher you through to the exit only to be stopped.* You...wish for me to write your name? And how exactly will this help you, human? *Then he pulled out what seemed like a tablet looking device, writing down a note* it does not matter as you will not remember this conversation and I will not be approaching you unless you dare to approach me outside of a dream. I only look forward to monitoring you as a past time.

Good luck, Human *he pulls out his painless bat with a grin that didn't match his once cold face before you wake up forgetting the whole conversation even happened*

@kim ∶ taehyung [This work perfectly well with me. I think it might be the rectory where the priest is residing.]

Dreams were such a funny thing, weren’t they? It was uncontrollable and sometimes even hurtful to the dreamer but the moment the brain was aware of the dream one could become the strongest human in the dream. Yet Dongwook didn’t exert his strength over his dreams. He was drawn in by this creature. He was curious how dark those on the other side could go. Wondering how much they would do to mess with his faith. Wondered how they didn’t know how fundamental and unshakable his faith was. Not because he believed in eternal salvation on the contrary. He knew he was never bound for heaven. He knew the fires of hell were stretching their burning tentacles out for him sending their strongest hounds after him. But that didn’t change or shake his faith after all his god wasn’t kind, wasn’t soft, his god was savage, unyielding and wrathful.

Softly lowering his head, the priest smiled once more not in the slightest disconcerted by anything that was or wasn’t happening. His mind was cradled in the soft light of prayer and his soul was judged already there was nothing to fear nothing to worry he knew where he was heading knew what was to come and knew why he still prayed to a god who was said to have abandoned him. It was because his faith was not rooted in the belief he could escape hell or ascend to heaven. It was rooted in the knowledge he was holding. His actions were already condemned so why be faithful? But he was and it was the most deep-seated faith wishing nothing in return, but the light of peace prayer would give him.

“May god be with you on your way” The priest softly spoke a grace as the others got ready to leave. “You may call HIS eminence false. I will not argue with you. After all, we all have our own faith and beliefs.” The priest leaned closer to the other. “Confiteor Deo omnipotenti et vobis, fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione, verbo, opere et omission.” As he was speaking leaning closer the cross around his neck fell forward finally leaving the folds of his robe as always in his dreams it would shine with the unshakable faith of his. “Sanctus dominus glorius omipotentem.” He spoke final grace still smiling as he pulled back gesturing for the door. “May I ask one thing before I leave this place? Write my name down on a piece of parchment and leave it on the altar. After all, it holds much power to me, and I don’t see how it would mean much to you.” With that, the priest decided that it was time to wake up and leave behind the messenger be it of heaven or hell he was familiar with both entering his dreams.

@shin ⋄ dongwook [] Hopefully this works? I just went ahead and pasted it in an empty residence room, but please let me know to change it to a house/etc]

*lord V lifted a brow as he observed what pious antics you continued to show him. Those rosebeads were being quite delicately but yet aggressively fondled with. Was that a sort of foreshadowing to the future that was in store for your soul? Only fate could tell. And yet when you finally show him the respect he deserved, his irritation with you was quelled before being replaced by slight curiosity in his hollow eyes yet again. Amused that you understood the state you were in, dark shadow after shadow loomed around the glass windows of the regal interior. As if something was quite amiss and yet- nothing touched you. Then- a few moans were heard close to the confession booth. A female's and a male's. Only the female's was decipherable*

N: y-yes no! F-father I can feel the sin leaving me! y-yes ohhh!~ *a familiar voice to you moaned. The female's. But why did it sound like a Nun of yours?*

*Lord V rolled his eyes suddenly irritated and as soon as the moans were heard, it was like you didn't hear them at all. As if sound canceling headphones shut the voices out, blasting your ears and only making you hear his voice. He has to remember the drawback of meeting you in your sleep. The "drawback" who was quite literally a bit too loud while ing one of your Nuns. Afterall, if he /did not/ have this "drawback," you would be plagued with a terrifying blood curdling nightmare. Ergo, the shadows that threatened to enter and yet could not because of that same drawback at least keeping them at bay. He could not frighten the poor human soul by meeting you in your sleep alone. Yes. We were not alone.*

*Lord V looked down into your hand and did not shake it, more because that was not him to do so. He just nods curtly despite already knowing your birth name. It seems like you are under the perception a name is quite important. In order to indirectly do his bidding then, he shall continue to act like he does not know it.* Do not worry, I do not care for such trivialities. I am much more looking forward to the sin you shall spread in the name of your false god. He barely smirks before adjusting himself to leave* Any questions you may have for me before we let you go and awaken to your purpose here?
