[A shit day to be in the simulation room. Forces Eunhyuk to already be in there by godmodding you.
Which is fine because Eunhyuk can feel Viktor before he even shows up! Feels like... being at death's door. Feels awful. Feels like someone should be in the infirmary.
It's just Viktor who walks in. :) He seems startled someone else is already here.]
Oh--I'm sorry. I didn't know someone was inside... I can come back later.

[Eunhyuk like okay i know im malnourished but im not about to die (am I?), but before he can start spiraling, Viktor announces his presence like a Victorian ghostie.]
Oh.
[hilariously, Eunhyuk is in the simulation room.... but it's not simulating anything??? He is like, man standing in this white room.]
You can use it, if you like. I was having trouble making a decision. [ON WHAT TO SEE.... because he was definitely planning on using it and not just stand in this white room like in get out]

[Hello? Why is he being so weird? Well, Viktor doesn't question it because sometimes you are a man standing in a white room. Or, in his case, sometimes a man sitting in a chair looking into the void.]
Ah. The indecision that arises when the possibilities are immense.
[He comes in, steps stilted with the shuffling of the crutch. Each step flutters an ache up the spine from the pelvis. The right hand and leg aches, too, but in a different way. Cold. They feel a little too cold.]
Not homesick enough to try for home?

[HELLO? IS VIKTOR OKAY???? Eunhyuk registers the aches and the feeling of DEATH from earlier, wow, and also the coldness, though that feels more familiar -- in a strange sort of way.]
...There are places I miss. I don't remember enough to recreate them perfectly.
[All I remember are the bad parts.]
So I thought about making something up, but it's harder than I expected.

[VIKTOR? IS EUNHYUK OKAY??? MIB BEAM WIPES HIS MEMORY.
Hearing this startles Viktor because, at first, he thinks it's something Eunhyuk said, and it's such a bold thing to just... declare.]
The bad...?
[Wait, that... didn't sound out loud? What.]
Sorry--I think I misheard you.

[STOP ITS FINE HE WANTS TO KEEP ALL THE BAD PARTS
there is a beat where eunhyuk is like 'what', and then he realizes,]
...You didn't. I just didn't say that part out loud. These nanites are pretty amazing, huh?
[he says that, but the emotion here is DRY]

[Viktor is also like what. Until he realizes. NOOOOOOOO. There's a lamenting sigh from him.]
Thoughts... too?
Thoughts... too?
[HIS LAMENTING SIGH EMOTIONAL VIBE, damn that's so real.
Eunhyuk nods slowly, he doesn't even have to emotion share, the vibe is horse man emotions,]
It's pretty brief whenever it does happen, if that helps.

[He stands there for a moment eyeballing Eunhyuk thoughtfully. His expression is asking, but he does not verbalize it just yet. He's probably debating if he should.]
Our dear comrade Charles said he thought it best not to acknowledge weird things on our profiles unless the other person offered first.
[Mildly teasing:]
So should I ask about you being a collector of bad memories, or just carry on?

[viktorxcharles...............
hilariously, this eases some of eunhyuk's tension in a 'of course charles would say that' kind of way,]
It sounds pretty concerning when you put it like that. [COLLECTOR OF BAD MEMORIES... the secret weeb part of eunhyuk probably enjoys that,]
But it's not that serious. The bad memories just take precedence, because they're the most recent ones for me. [HE'S NOT AN AMNESIAC OR ANYTHING IT'S FINE] So even if I imagine my home, I keep thinking about it being destroyed.

[HELLO? also you let me put w1 on this thread instead of w0
eunhyukxcharles......]
It says a lot about human nature's desire to survive that they easily remember what's the most uncomfortable.
[Supposedly. A weeb, but not an amnesiac.]
It was destroyed?

[ANNA.... DO YOU EXPECT ME TO BE ABLE TO READ.....
we want charles to ship so bad even though he is happily married.... he nods,]
The military thought we were harboring fugitives, so they sent bombs. [damb] But it was already breaking down even before that point.
[he touches his wrist where the IRIS is, and then brings up the simulation of a pretty ragged apartment building. the name "green home mansion apartments" is emblazoned on the side in peeling paint,]

[wow after our long spiral about realizing i have seen some of this canon which i forgot
Viktor shifts so he can look around what's projected for them. The building is a disaster, but he does not look disgusted, or surprised. His eyes skim the name.]
Sounds like the Undercity. Looks like something you'd find in the Undercity, too.

[Eunhyuk lowers his IRIS and lets the image fade out, until next time when i jumpscare you with something else,]
Is it 'Under' because it's literally under the city? Or because of the lower tax bracket?

[NOOO NOT LIKE THIS]
Both. Zaun is across the river from Piltover, but much of Zaun is beneath Piltover, so they call it the Undercity.
...It's basically Piltover's dumping ground.

[viktor like you live in the slums and eunhyuk like yeah....]
It sounds similar, though we're not as clearly divided from the rest of the city.
How much bigger is Zaun compared to Piltover?

[Just two nerdy guys from the slums.]
Zaun is approximately a quarter or so bigger. Piltover's buildings reach for the sky standing on the back of Zaun.
The top promenade of Zaun mingles at the bottom of Piltover.

Which part are you from?

[# GRIEF]
...I was born in the Undercity. But I tried my hand at Piltover when I was a young man, to join the Academy. I knew it was the only way I would be able to do what I wanted to do: invent things.
It wasn't easy. I had no sponsor, no money. Only what I could do, and I had to convince the Dean I was worth it. But luckily, [there is some guilt here? strangely?] he... was a good man.

[the guilt....... eunhyuk like did the dean also explode with viktor.....]
You must be pretty skilled to catch his notice, with all those odds stacked against you.
[it's impressive]
What kind of things did you want to invent?

[Nooooooooooooo, not the compliments. He gets incredibly shy, but PROUD. NOOOOO, EUNHYUK CAN FEEL THE SHYNESS AND THE PRIDE!!!! THE DON'T LOOK AT MES!!! This week is HELL.]
I've always wanted to build things that helped others, especially the people in the Undercity. I stopped being the Dean's assistant to join a research partner. We created Hextech together.
A merging of the arcane and technology. We built things to help make work and life easier for people. And the Hexgates, to make commerce better.

[HELP, THESE EMOTIONS......... they're so softe wow, eunhyuk tries to spare victor by suppressing the curl of amusement threatening to rise through him.... so he'll concentrate on his words instead,]
...You invented the Hexgates? [he remembers when viktor briefly mentioned them in their last conversation,
it makes asking him questions about it a little funny in hindsight]
How long did that take you?

[Don't look at him. Just ignore the nerdiness, thank you.]
Yes. I helped my partner stabilize the hex crystals he had been working on. Once we did, it was easier to figure out how to utilize them to power pieces of machinery. Or teleportation towers, like the Hexgates.
[He shrugs very gently.]
Several years. Not as long as one would think. But Jayce had been working on the crystals for a long time.

[THIS CATCHALL IMAGE IS SO FCKING REAL NOW
anyway Eunhyuk will be around!!!! i don't know where ig the observation lounge, the emotions are very bad, despite his calm expression, but he's here to check up on viktor.... how's our twink]

[EUNHYUUUUK. HELP WHY ARE THEY THE SAME PERSON?!?! The emotions are also very bad, except his expression is actually pretty ragged and weary.
He's been standing all day, so he's sitting in the lounge, yes, leaned heavily on the crutch with both hands and his head over. He's mumbling under his breath, but looks up like a startled deer when Eunhyuk appears.]
