Funny how things work out in the end. If the radio show wasn’t picked up for another trimester and Asami, somehow, didn’t manage to guarantee her spot as their host for another set of episodes, she wouldn’t be sitting with Taeha, wearing bunny ears and a blue outfit that she guesses, was an attempt to mimic the costume from Zootopia, while hosting their radio slot. The world has its surprises always. Asami doesn’t understand how she can still be surprised.
“Now that we’re back from our break, there’s something I wanted to talk about. We’re not wearing ordinary outfits today. We and our team put a little more effort into the way we look, and that’s because Halloween is right around the corner!” Asami says as she silently claps, “It’s a very festive time during Halloween in Korea. Do you remember dressing up for it as a kid, Taeha-ssi?”
Had that not been what she demanded from her parents? No one had warned her about the dangers of not being explicit with her wishes. How was she supposed to know that the Pocket Realm would open in a fortnight? She didn't want to count herself out, but frankly, she wasn't particularly the first person anyone would want to be paired with to journey through a realm set on being their final resting place. Instead of being strategic, she was determined to enjoy her company. Perhaps, she wanted to find out that her courageous spirit was stronger than what she gave herself credit for...
Naturally, Hayoung had become the de-facto leader and the four of them had followed her like ducklings during an imprinting period. If anything was going to help them get through the next thirty days, it would certainly be that all five of them cared about each other. No one was going to be left behind. Upon reaching the infamous cave, her fingers gripped to the leather strap securely around her torso, aiding her in carrying her precious Wolgeum.
"I'm not the only one that has heard stories about the tunnels reaching deep into the core, right?" Minseo whispers as if it would awaken whatever creatures thrived in the environment much foreign to the group of trespassers. What use were precious rocks, ore, and metals to her? Her motivation would have to survive the Pocket Realm with her friends. "Should we have a code word for when to evacuate?"
I've been taking a lot more walks lately and it's so easy to make new friends when you're out and about! Here's my newest buddy! I just loved her style and had to stop and ask her for a few fashion tips! 🎀

Ichika knows pretty much what she got herself into when she signed up for LGC Breakers. She knows it’s for the visibility and all the little bits related to her career, but as she stands amongst the sea of girls, she can’t help but feel somewhat out of her comfort zone. Her groupmates are with her, and she knows the three remaining original members of Fabula but her relationship with the younger girls is hit or miss at best. It would be easy to keep to what she knows but in some sort of moment of growth, she shifts a bit closer to one of the girls while the rules of the Memory game are being explained.
“Are you good at these kinds of games?” She asks, unable to ignore the odd, awkwardness of her words but she’s trying. She knows this girl’s name is Taeha but all other knowledge ends there. It’s her own fault for not really keeping up with trainees after her debut.
In all honesty, Parker is a bit disappointed that the set doesn't smell like freshly baked cakes and bread. From what he can tell, aside from a few pastry items, some cakes are most definitely fake. It’s probably for practicality, but even if he knows some of the cakes are fake, they look amazing and he’d love to take a bite.
Okay, well. That’s probably the reason why they were fake.
From where he stands, looking at the props, he can see the photographer and director milling around another person. His time will come soon enough, but he settles milling around for now. A staff from the cake company catches his eye, and for a moment, he gets the impression that they deciding if they need to tell him not to play with the props, and that alone is enough to make him nod his head politely and step away.
Near the back of the stage, a few snacks and beverages provided by PASISON5 are laid, and considering how this stuff is actually meant to be eaten, Parker decides it must be a safer place to wait out his turn. He does his best to navigate around chairs and staff, but just as he is about to reach the table, his luck runs out, so to speak, and he lets out a grunt as he runs into someone. Oh shi— oh!” He blinks a few times and feels his face split into a smile. “Taeha! Hi! You okay?”
Cupid Seyoon was on the move, ready to hand out matching candies to his fated couples. He walked around the entire Halloween party ground, pretending to be innocently admiring people's costumes while in reality, diligently observed and schemed.
If any of his ships end up sailing after tonight and people get laid, he shall consider it his contribution to humankind and expect karmic rewards.
Please ctrl + f your character's first name if you don't want to read the whole thing. If I mentioned you, it's because you liked my plot call or told me on discord/twitter that you would not mind participating. Thanks everyone, for indulging me, this was so fun to write!
***Don't see your character? Probably in the next part (s)***
The first person he pulled to his side was Taeha (@lgctaeha), just to let her know that it was time. As Cupid's assistant and fellow Legacy shipper, he intended to take her opinions into consideration (because let's be real, his alone should not be trusted). Of course, he also had a match for her. "Here," he said, passing her a strawberry candy. It was identical to the one he had handed off to Wenjun (@lgcwenjun) earlier because he thought they would make such a cute couple. "Your match is tall, gorgeous and incredibly sweet. He's one of the only two men I really trust here at Legacy." Only the best for dear Taeha. Seyoon considered this ship sunshine x sunshine, and thought about everlasting summers.
He went to Yoojoon (@lgcyoojoon) next, because his brother's wellbeing was always on his mind. He handed him a peach candy, which was the same kind he had given to Milan (@lgcmilan). "Your match is a real peach," he promised Yoojoon after explaining his little game tonight. Milan was a pretty Christian girl and probably wanted a vanilla good boy. Who would be a better fit than his step brother? Nobody. Seyoon gave this ship the name of holy union, because both of the people involved were angels, at least in his eyes.
"Kiwi for you!" He grabbed a wild Ollie (@lgcoliver) by the back of his shirt as the guy was running past and placed a bright green candy into his hand. Seyoon planned to hand the matching candy off to Jaekyung (@lgcjaekyung) because she was really fun and could probably match Ollie's energy.
Seyoon looked down at the next candy he'd pulled out of his basket. It was watermelon, which was the flavor he gave to Yujin (@yujinlgc). The idea of matching her hurt, because she was a goddess and his idol, so nobody really deserved her. A part of him wanted to take the candy back for his Yujin shrine, but the other less selfish part wanted to find her someone. While contemplating, he accidentally bumped into Akio (@lgcakio), and ended up dropping the candy into his pocket. It would be weird to reach into his fellow trainee's pocket now and get the candy back, so instead he accepted fate and gave Akio a sulky look. "You better treasure her," he told the guy. All things considered, this one was not a bad option - Akio was a good man as far as he knew, better than a lot of the others.
Minjun (@lgcmjun) was a difficult one, because Seyoon still couldn't look at him without feeling the guilt. He assigned the guy grapefruit flavored candy, because that was Asher's favorite and gave the matching one to Jisoo (@lgcjisoo). Maybe back then, he, Jisoo and Asher were never meant to be a trio. Sometimes he wished he could go back and change things. This was his attempt, he supposed.
Perhaps BK (@lgcbk) would be confused about getting paired up with Sori (@lgcsori) via the apple candy but he should trust Seyoon's judgement. Sori was a cutie, especially whenever she got a bit tipsy. There might be a party girl hiding inside and those rosy cheeks were incredibly charming, which he highly doubted any man could resist.
Who on the earth should he pair up with Yuxi (@lgcyuxi)? She was real spicy with guys, but Seyoon had seen her interacting better with the ladies. Since Yuxi was working with the cool older sister vibe, he figured he'd find her someone with a little sister look. Maybe Amelia (@lgcamelia) would be a good choice! They can enjoy their raspberry candies together.
jaekyung is still giggling, slightly out of breath from all the running when she regroups with taeha to get a status update. "did you sell more soap?"
trying to sabotage yumi in selling her juices both for the sake of entertainment and to actually give them a small edge to get them back into the game, jaekyung hopes that her fellow lgc girls member turned friend made some progress on her own.
she does find herself pouting though when it looks like the girl had little to no success. taking stock of their inventory, the vocalist couldn't help the frustrated whine she let out in response at the disappointing news. "did you find no one?!"
legacy had once forced sori out in a search for a hobby, and she had considered wrestling, but considering was as far as that went. she tried out lots of things in her search for a hobby: painting, calligraphy, boxing, pottery, but wrestling never got the chance to be a hobby she would never return to (because to be honest, sori finds herself too busy for any hobby). but there’d she’d been, a wrestling match, she sure was lucky that dancing so much made her body strong.
the matches were over, but there was still more to come. female wrestlers (actual wrestlers) coming to teach them wrestling moves. she leans over to taeha, whispering to the other “if we were in a match with any of those real wrestlers, how quick do you think we’d lose?”. sori’s body was toned, but their bodies were far more toned than hers. she shrugs “maybe all this wrestling stuff will become useful some day”.
