The dungeon is in Korea, but as an esper with a pretty specialised power niche Haru is used to occasionally having to go international for these dungeons, and the fact that he already speaks Korean is definitely a bonus. The espers he's going to be working with are all in Quasar Guild, which is the largest one in Korea and which has just recently acquired a very powerful teleportation esper, one whose power can be stored in batteries Quasar also happened to already have in its possession, so they're covering the teleportation cost for Haru to get there.
🔔traceless: guess who got the sweetest fanmail from Malaysia
🔔traceless: it was me, though I did also forward it to him.
🍉melonmelon: traceless you're relevantly multilingual, should one of them change their name
🔔traceless: it's only confusing in Latin characters, nomu could spell it in Japanese and it wouldn't be at all. I think "nemo" is literally Latin so nomu is the one who has to change though if either does
nomu? has changed their nickname to 飲むか
🚫do-not-jin: I am so glad this platform has nickname histories, if I had to track down the choices you all make I'd go insane
🍸飲むか: unlike your normal self, who is very sane
🚫do-not-jin: yes.
yoo-min-max: what'd the email say?
🔔traceless: just that it meant a lot to see me & Jaeha not caring about what country we are in when we kiss in public, I don't want to paste the whole thing because I don't think it was intended for public consumption
🔔traceless: it was heartwarming! I also got a less heartwarming taste of Korean celebrity culture but really all those people were doing me a favor, giving me reading material for when I'm backlashed
yoo-min-max: ohhhh did you get fanmail
yoo-min-max: what flavour was it?
yoo-min-max: I'm glad @SenSoJoo and I are not famous enough to get it too often
taegun fan no. 1183: what's so awful about it?
KangJaeha: I'd like to be able to do my job and not also have complete strangers speculating about my relationships while I'm at it
taegun fan no. 1183: I mean, you guys were pretty public...
KangJaeha: My relationship with @traceless was not the only one people were speculating about
KangJaeha: And I'm just trying to do my job
taegun fan no. 1183: ...sorry
KangJaeha: No, you don't have anything to apologise for, sorry
KangJaeha: It's just a pain
"No, I don't mind it. And I hear whining about your problems in public is a time-honoured human bonding tradition and if I want to pretend I'm human I ought to try some of those sometimes."
🔔traceless: the emails don't bother me, there's a decent section of my backlash where I can read stuff directed at me and can't read a book and I catch up on blog comments and mail then, but I do think a lot of them reveal questionable character on the part of the senders and they will probably feel awkward about it when they grow up
yoo-min-max: some of the thirsty ones are funny, and I got linked a really good slash fic once
yoo-min-max: that was from before @SenSoJoo and I were dating
yoo-min-max: they got the way he has me in the palm of his hand just right
yoo-min-max: always nice to see some good characterisation in these
🚫do-not-jin: I cannot comprehend the appeal
🍸飲むか: you're ace, of course you can't
🐠nemo: I'm not ace and I also can't
🍸飲むか: you're seafood, of course you also can't
🐠nemo: ╭∩╮
MODERATOR ANNOUNCEMENT: Please do not use vulgar kaomoji in chat.
🔔traceless: I also got a fic link but don't know when if ever I will get around to it, it'd interfere with reading novels by dead people which are my staple fare when I can read whatever I want
🚫do-not-jin: I find the ethics of writing real-person fiction thorny and the ethics of writing real-person erotic fiction even thornier
yoo-min-max: ok but given that they're already written
🚫do-not-jin: you're still giving them views on the website, and that incentivises them
yoo-min-max: what if the subject consents?
🚫do-not-jin: yes I feel a lot fewer qualms about people writing slash fic of you
🚫do-not-jin: ...don't know about Seungjoo
SenSoJoo: :)
🚫do-not-jin: ...you know, there was a time of my life when I thought @yoo-min-max was being really weird about you
🚫do-not-jin: but the two of you deserve each other
yoo-min-max: awwww that's really sweet
taegun fan no. 1183: @SenSoJoo spent literal months making @yoo-min-max dance to his tune
taegun fan no. 1183: it was real obvious if you paid any attention
