Dokja was flying back to the complex, he decided to fly a bit lower as he got closer. What he didn't notice was the tree below him he was about to get caught in.
>>Alright, almost there-<<
He would help as he flew into the branches of a tree, leaves getting in his hair and wings. He would have to clean them later..
>>What the hell-?!<<
He tried to use his sword but he couldn't reach it, his arms stuck under branches in front of him.
>>Is this tree alive or something-?!<<
Dokja almost considered the ideal but then dismissed it.
>>I need to get out of here-<<
Dokja noticed a blue screen in front of him.
'Oh no. I forgot the constellations were here.'
Dokja thought as he watched his notifications, unable to mute them.
{ The Constellation 'The Queen of the Darkest Spring' asks if you need help! }
>>I'm perfectly fine, I can do this myself- AGH!<<
The branches began to stab into Dokja's wings, something he didn't expect, but what was there to expect at this point?
[ 'The Fourth Wall' cackles at your misfortune ]
'Fuck off! Wait no don't-'
[ 'The Fourth Wall' is offended at your statement. ]
'Goddamnit.'
{ The Constellation 'Father of the Rich Night' looks worried at your state. }
{ The Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' is trying not to laugh at you. }
{ The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flaming Dragon' is cackling at you! }
>>I hate this so, so much.<<
Dokja struggles with his wings as the branches of the tree slightly stab into them more.
>>OUCH!<<
He was stuck in a tree, and fourth wall was no help.
[ L ma O fu c ki ng lo s er ]
>>What will the company think-?!<<
Dokja sulked.
{ The Constellation 'Demon-like Judge of Fire' Giggles! }

Yoo Joonghyuk stops walking for a moment.
His Dokja detector is going off.
>>I feel like I should check on Kim Dokja.<<
He would speak under his breath before he walks towards the doors of the complex.
A particular woman with short, black hair would poke Joonghyuk on his back.
>>Where are you headed sunfish?<<
She sounded genuinely curious as she looked up at the latter.
>>None of your business.<<
Yoo Joonghyuk didn't want anyone, especially Han Sooyoung, to know.
>>Are you headed to your boyfriend again?<<
Han Sooyoung would tease.
>>Acrually speaking of, he hasn't been here in a while, at least I haven't seen him.<<
Yoo Joonghyuk glared at her, but then he realized she knew as little as he did. Where is this bastard?
Lee Gilyoung enters the room with Shin Yoosung and Yoo Mia.
>>Do you guys know where Dokja-ssi is?<<
Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung asked at the same time.
Yoo Mia looked at them before looking at her brother.
>>Yeah, have you?<<
Han Sooyoung shook her head.
>>This is so weird, where is that stupid squid.<<
{ The Constellation 'Demon-Like Judge of Fire' is cackling. }
>>Whats so funny?<<
Shin Yoosung commented.

>>I'm going to commit more war crimes after this.<<
He sighs as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
He finally came up with an idea after his mind was blank for so long.
[ To O k yo u l O ng en O ugh ]
'Shut up.'
>>Biyoo!<<
Dokja had his hands stuck under the branches as well so he could just talk.
The small puff ball appeared in front of him
>>Baat!<<
Biyoo sounded worried (somehow?) at her dad's state.
>>Can you help me...please?<<
He sounded very hesitant asking for help.
>>Baat!<<
The puff dissapeared off to somewhere.
>>W-wait-!<<
Dokja struggled in the branches again before giving up.
>>There goes my last hope.<<
He would sigh in defeat as he waited.
{ The Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flaming Dragon' can't breathe from laughing so hard! }
>>Shut up.<<

𝘽𝘼𝘾𝙆 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃 𝙅𝙊𝙊𝙉𝙂𝙃𝙔𝙐𝙆..
Joonghyuk watched the company group together to come up with a plan to find Dokja.
>>Well, let's think perimitter.<<
Yoo Sangah began.
>>Well he can't be THAT far, can he?<<
Jung Heewon asked.
>>The squid's unpredictable, we don't know if he is that far or not.<<
Han Sooyoung was eating a candy as she spoke, giving a slight lisp in her words.
>>I hope Dokja-ssi is okay..<<
Shin Yoosung looked visibly upset.
>>He can take care of himself, I'm sure he's just fine.<<
Yoo Mia commented.
>>No he can't!<<
Lee Gilyoung yelled back.
You could see Han Sooyoung holding in a laugh.
>>What should we do then..?<<
Lee Hyunsung added on to the original idea.
>>If he isn't back within an hour we should search for him.<<
Yoo Sangah concluded.
Suddenly, Biyoo appeared in front of Joonghyuk's face.
>>Hm-?<<
He looked at the puff as the rest of the company stares at it.
>>BAAT!!<<
Biyoo was hitting Joonghyuk on the cheek, maybe signalling he should follow.
>>What the- stop that.<<
He slowly stopped the puff as it began to float in a direction.
>>BAAT!<<
Joonghyuk took that as a signal to follow the puff, and so he does.
The rest of the company just watches him leave, strangely enough.

Dokja was waiting when he heard footsteps..wait footsteps.
>>Oh shit-<<
He whispered to himself as he began to panic, trying to free himself from the branches again.
>>Kim Dokja.<<
The familiar voice raised a brow as he stared at Dokja.
>>Oh-! Joonghyuk. Great timing.<<
Dokja gritted out.
>>You're stuck.<<
>>NO NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT OKAY? JUST HELP ME...please.<<
Joonghyuk nodded, and Biyoo closed the channel for some reason.
>>Hey- be gentle-!<<
Joonghyuk was breaking some branches off the tree to make it easier.
>>I wouldn't hurt you intentionally, Kim Dokja.<<
>>YES YOU WOULD!<<
>>Shut up.<<
Joonghyuk untangled Dokja rather quickly and helped him out.
>>Oh, uh...thank you...I guess.<<
Dokja began speed walking away before Joonghyuk grabbed his wrist.
>>Huh-!<<
He let out a noise as Joonghyuk plucked a leaf off of his feathers.
>>Leaves.<<
>>Right...leaves.<<
