Wall-e (2008) dir. Andrew Stanton
tida:
“ ah– gotcha… I watched it in English, but my mom’s, like, fluent, so– I picked up some fun facts from her, I guess. I tried to watch sub’s, sometimes, because I thought she’d be proud if I could talk to her in her first language. but… ” he laughs– “ ‘turns out you don’t learn a lot of useful stuff from watching Dragon Ball Z. ‘not a lot of dinner-time conversations that start with ‘Kamehameha’… ” well, it’s the thought that counts, right? and how apt, that Jaehee would bring up a ‘vampire’ deer, while they’re on the topic of his adopted mother…
“ a what? ‘can’t say I’ve heard of ‘em. ” ‘cute’, ‘vampire’, and ‘deer’ are three seemingly mismatched ways to describe ONE singular creature, but it certainly peaks his curiosity. “ why would they call a deer a vampire… ? ” blood-sucking deer? nature could be weird, but he’s having a hard time picturing that scenario.
⸻ HE LAUGHED AT THE OTHER’S WORDS. True, thinking back on all the anime he ever watched he could barely think of any themes that were remotely close to anything that would be useful in any kind of normal situation. Then again, he was sure there were also educational anime and such (he had a vague memory of actually reading like a whole article devoted to the culture and scope of anime in Japan) but he doubted that those were really present on the foreign market.
“Oh, you don’t know what a musk deer is?” He wasn’t surprised really. They weren’t that well known nor was the population big enough for a person to just randomly stumble upon one of those little things. “It’s this small deer, it usually grows up to about seventy centimetres in height and its pretty light. It went viral a few years ago in France cause of this list of the weirdest animals. It has very well-pronounced fangs, you see. Like... big enough for them to always stick out and it gave them the nickname ‘vampire deers’.” He kept on speaking, excitedly, always happy to share his knowledge of the animals. “Fun, little known fact, they’re not actually deer but they do look like the horror version of Bambi, so back in the day, biologists, who used to classify animals based on what they looked like instead of what they were, put them down as deer. Funny, right?”
Astro ‘All Light’ Scans
sunny:
Sunny followed Jaehee happily, studying their surroundings with bright, curious eyes. The air around them was a bit chilly, but the sun made it that much warmer. He trailed after the younger, careful where he stepped, just in case a little critter was nesting in the grass.
Sunny laughed softly. “Don’t worry,” he assured Jaehee, patting his shoulder. “I’ll meet Dravi whenever I have the chance to. For now, snakes!” He had promised that, after all.
The trees were beginning to thicken as they moved further into the clearing, beginning to block out the sun. He admired the dapple of shadows surrounding them, keeping an eye on Jaehee so they wouldn’t get separated.
⸻ JAEHEE LED THE WAY, TRYING TO REMEMBER WHERE HE HAD SEEN THE SETTING OF STONES WHERE THE SNAKES WOULD COME OUT TO TAKE IN THE SUN. It wasn’t that difficult, he had always had very good spatial orientation and he never got lost in any forest (that was something he was incredibly proud of, by the way) still, he wanted to take the shortest route. Now that he knew there was someone who’d want to meet his furry friend, the young man had double the motivation to actually find the snakes and take the photos.
It didn’t take long and as they walked through the trees, deeper and deeper, they managed to walk right into a clearing in the middle of the woods. “Oh, fantastic we’re here!” Jaehee spoke, making sure his voice wasn’t too loud, not to scare any potential animals that could possibly be in the vicinity. He looked around and there, on the farthermost stone he noticed a flash of orange and black and his eyes lit up with excitement. Wordlessly, he waved at Sunny to follow him, taking each step very carefully while already reaching with his free hand to his pocket to take out his phone. It seemed to be his lucky day---he would have his snake photo!
He made sure to keep a safe distance but also attempted to walk as close up to the animal as was possible to get a good shot. He turned to Sunny with a big, excited grin. “That looks like the red-banded snake, right? I didn’t actually believe I’d get to see it just like that, you know. It’s so pretty and wow, I was pretty sure the colour would be much darker, more like a brown but seriously---look at that beauty!”
soojin:
Today, she had found a reason to be happy. The air was hot, just the way she liked it to be during the summer; she could still remember running through the grass in her home town, racing her sisters to the edges of the cliffs to watch the waves crash against the rocks and the shore so far down below.
The memories always left a sharp ache in her chest, but today, she could move past it and enjoy the moment. Soojin wandered through the park, shoes in hand so that she could feel the grass beneath her feet. It tickled in the most pleasant way against her bare skin.
Soojin had discovered a new song, I Only Know Love, and it was the source of her happiness. The song is more than a bit melancholy, but it reminds her of the way music used to be; the styles and tones, the rhythms and notes, it was the same as it was when she was growing up.
When she had been turned and left to fend for herself in a brand new, terrifying, cold world.
Soojin sang happily, imagining herself on stage, in the old bar she used to work in. She missed that place; it had been enough to satisfy the loneliness in her. She finished her song on a pure note, letting her shoulders drop with a satisfied sigh.
The approach of another almost startled her; she usually didn’t lose herself enough for someone to sneak up on her. Soojin watched the guy, but her apprehension disappeared with the compliment - and vanished completely with the rose.
He was different like her. And she didn’t meet others like herself often.
“My goodness, thank you!” Soojin bowed, holding the flower to her chest. It was cold to the touch and shimmered beautifully in the sun. “Oh, I was once upon a time. I’m glad you enjoyed my song!”
⸻ THE SMILE HE HAD RECEIVED FROM THE GIRL WAS REWARD ENOUGH FOR HIS LITTLE EXPLOSION OF COURAGE TO BE WORTH IT. “You have one of the prettiest singing voices I have ever heard.” Granted, the young man heard very little in his life but somehow he knew even with his limited experience that what he had experienced was exceptional. “You should be a professional singer, I think.” He continued speaking, smiling at the beautiful woman. “I’ve recently learnt of this thing called therapy by music and I didn’t understand it up till now but hearing you I can honestly imagine someone listening to you and genuinely healing.” Soo spoke out, not even thinking whether or not he was overstepping any boundaries or if he came through as genuine or not. He still didn’t know how to lie and for now at least, Jaehee had chosen not to teach him about such things so the creature spoke his mind fully, openly taking for granted that his words were heard and believed.
The man stood in front of the woman, looking at her with a smile before a thought hit him and he shifted in his position uncomfortably wondering whether or not he could impose upon a stranger. Quickly, he decided he would not know unless he asked her. “Uhm... may I ask what it was like? To be a singer, I mean.” He clarified almost immediately. “What does it feel like to have people come to you just to listen to your voice? What does it feel like to have the power to make someone smile?”

morpheus:
If Zeus ever asks for an explanation about why he broke his truth to a mortal, he’ll make sure to come up with an excuse so horrible that it causes him to ache so much that he’ll just let Morpheus get away with it this time. To be fair, he’s low on allowance and he’s pretty much consumed all the snacks he had when he was doing that Disney movies marathon with his older brother who clearly wasn’t up for such childish things as he was found asleep by the second half of the first movie. The latter makes a comment, a smart one. ❛ I’m trying to lose weight, I don’t like salty stuff ❜ He lies a lie dripping with stupidity because a bag of chips wouldn’t be what someone would reach for if their goal was truly to diet. ❛ If you get me the same bag of chips, you lose, because it’s obvious, you need to use your brain and stomach ❜
⸻ “UHHH... DO YOU NOT HAVE A MIRROR?” Jaehee spoke before he even thought about it, the words just coming out naturally. “You don’t need to lose any weight, you look like a Greek god with that body.” Not to mention, the other’s lie was rather easy to disperse, taking into account what he had just been eating. “I’m gonna go and assume you’re just trying to get me off your case but that’s not gonna happen so easily, especially not now that you finally gave me a chance.” He grinned. “I’m taking up this challenge of yours, but we first need to get off this bus, don’t you think? I can hardly buy you anything here, after all.” He was positively shining with enthusiasm as he spoke. He was so close to having his curiosity satisfied after all!
yukwon:
He wasn’t exactly sure how to get a word in because every time he opened his mouth to comment, the other would rush in with another flood of irritated sentences that only made him smile almost apologetically. It wasn’t as if he was very truthful about his condition or who he was either and in that sense he wasn’t actually wrong. There is a small pang of guilt thrust into his throat that he didn’t mind not having to say anything at all. He simply grabbed his drink and perched the straw to his lips as he listened. He nodded and when he was finished he pursed his lips and sat back in his seat. The straw still pressing to his lips idly as he looked off towards the side. “Our country is just like that. maybe we just enjoy… the mystery. Like you said it’s a game. and who… doesn’t like playing games?” He smiled, though it didn’t reach his eyes very much so he dropped it and sat up with a more sincere smile as he placed his drink back down to cross his arms over the table. “Being Korean mean being stubborn about everything. I dunno how we could change.” A pause. “Don’t lose sleep over it, but maybe add the discussion to your youtube page. You might find more like-minded people.”
⸻ JAEHEE’S FACE PAINTED A NICE AND VERY EXACT PICTURE OF WHAT HE THOUGHT ABOUT KOREANS AND LIKING’THE MYSTERY. “I’m gonna say... no. Pretty sure it’s got more to do with most Koreans being elitist and closed up more than actually loving the idea of the subtleness of nuance and context clues giving meaning to the unspoken words.” His tone was dry, his bitterness still easily visible. “See, the thing is, everybody expects me to know the rules of this game.” He liked that description of the social rules. “Everybody’s like ‘your parents are both Korean, surely you were brought up to know this.’ But you see... I wasn’t. They actively left all of that out so now I’m here, a damn gyopo without even a tiny bit of instincts. A game is fun only if you have any hope of winning. I can’t even hope to survive for more than one turn and that---that’s just agony.” He scoffed at the idea of making that a topic on his channel. “I’d be lynched by the Koreans, please. National pride here is everything. I know my place. This is why you end up buried under my complaints. I trust you to listen and not attack me just because...” He smiled apologetically. He knew how much of an emotional burden this probably was but there were few people he could really open up to and somehow, the silent Yukwon felt the most natural for this sort of thing.

He felt safe and secure lost inside the material of his oversized hoodie, drowned in the fabric from the top of his head to nearly his knees. It made the concept of being incognito a lot easier, even in the early summer evenings the weather was still cool enough that he could get away with wearing the large garment. He didn’t have to be in his persona of Cain, but he didn’t have to face the world as himself entirely either. It was… comfortable. Just like the breeze that swept over the balcony seating of the cafe; quiet as the post dinner rush had faded.
“Any special requests?” A quirk stumbled on the felines lips, casually regarding the stranger a table or two away. Cam had his acoustic guitar on his lap, he had been absently strumming to the faint songs that could be heard through the window - promptly stopping when one of his own had come on. It was a good enough excuse to down half of his iced coffee, his fingers still cold as he slid them back over strings. “What’s your favourite song?”
⸻ IT WAS RARE FOR THE YOUNG WOMAN TO VENTURE OUT ALONE TO THE STREETS AND EVEN RARER FOR HER TO GO INTO A CAFE ALONE. It’s not even that she was nervous about her knowledge of the language, she’d learnt it for far too long at this point and she only had a slight foreign accent, it was just the fact that she was alone. Far too many times people would come up to her and speak. Total strangers. It was relatively fine if they were amicable, she could deal with that, even if trying to get back to being alone took a lot of energy but the times when people would see her Japanese features and come to her with... ‘comments’ that scared her. This was why she would usually go out with friends from University or with Tilly.
Yet, there she was, sitting, resting, sipping on some strawberry water, listening to some guy softly playing on his guitar. She enjoyed this quiet moment right up till the music stopped and she heard a voice speaking up. She looked around, curious to see who was going to be ordering songs, promptly realising there was nobody really around. “Are you... talking to me?” She asked shyly, slightly confused (and also wary) why a total stranger would be asking her for such a thing. She was hesitant, not wanting to make a fool out of herself, ready to be ignored by the man.
