They're persistent, too.

[ He sounds three times more tired all of a sudden. ]

If I find out about something useful, I can message you. Not sure if people are going to use forums for resources. They're more interested in shitposting.

[ He'd suggest changing the name to owenposting. ]

[ he giggles! ]

"Shitposting" ... [ that's getting added to his vocabulary. ]

I really appreciate it. I'll do the same for you too. I hope you can rely on me while we go through this experience. Thank you, Punisher. For a guy with a super tough name, you really are lovely.

[ On a second thought, considering that Brambles is somewhat new to the Internet... he's glad he didn't take that literally. ]

You weren't half-bad back in the dungeon.

[ Let's ignore the lovely part simply because that's more convenient. ]

Beginner's luck, I suppose! Though I am going to diligently try to improve. [ Mr. Modesty right here. ]

Give yourself some credit. It's my first MMO after a longer break, but I can tell that you have a knack for this.

[ Believe in brambself...!!! ]

Aw, really...!

[ if he had a dog tail, he would be wagging it-- ]

Thank you! I don't think I'd be half as confident without your encouragement!

You'd get there without me, I did nothing. It's all you.

[ Well, they went in as a team, but!! Joonghyuk will always give credit where it's due. ]

Do you want to kill some mobs together?

[ This is Joonghyuk's equivalent of do you want to hang out, apparently. ]

Well, I'm still grateful for the lovely words. Thank you millions.

[ He just can't stop smiling! ]

I'd love to.

[ What a nerd... at least Joonghyuk doesn't say it out loud. It's time to go to a new area!! He picks the meadows because Brambles mentioned being a florist that one time. ]

Have you visited this area yet?

I haven't! [ he's making a few sounds of 'ooooh'! and 'aaaah!' while surveying the area because omfg, flowers!! sure enough, he's down on his knees, examining them. ]

I know this is just a game, but ... wow. Really makes you feel like you're out in the wild.

[ Mr. Brambles what are you doing on your knees... oh, just examining flowers. Well then. ]

Yeah, it's wild. [ Did he just make a pun? Well, he doesn't even realize it so it doesn't count. ] I'm not sure if beta version will have it, but it would be nice if there were some other jobs that aren't connected to combat. Like florist or chef...

Oh, you're telling me!

[ he hunches down to sniff the flowers that he cradles in his palm. do they smell in this game? ]

I'm a florist in real life. But even though it's my job, I love it so much that it doesn't feel like a job. You know? Like ... I'd still be very content to do it in this game too.

[ Who's stopping flowers from having a nice scent!! Not Yoo Joonghyuk! They should live their best lives. ]

Maybe I should try florist if it becomes a thing.

[ Maybe!!! He's going to think about it. ]

Wha- really?! [ he sits up excitedly! ] I'm pleasantly surprised! With a name like "Punisher" I wouldn't expect to hear an interest in floristry from you, but ... we can't always judge a book by its cover, can we?

I hope you're right, though. I'd love to show you everything I know! It's really relaxing and so fun!

Is Punisher really that bad? It's just a word that's a part of a class name. And I didn't want to use my previous handle.

[ Googling "Supreme King" might get people some hits and that's the last thing he wants. ]

You can start teaching me now. I'll get a head start.

[ They were supposed to kill some mobs, but since Brambles got to his knees already... ]

Ummm ... it kind of has a threatening vibe? Which ... I guess is good for a video game! Having a name like, "Fluffy_Unicorn_Kitty" might make you a target. But "Punisher" is like ... "Ooh, he's gonna punish me!" You know?

[ LOGIC!! ]

Wha, really? [ he glances around. ] It would definitely be easy to make a simple arrangement with these flowers! I just don't know if video game flowers work the same as real life ones. [ come sit with him, punisher!! ]

"Fluffy_Unicorn_Kitty" can be deadly, too.

[ Not that "Punisher" isn't. He's very deadly!! And now his deadly ass plops next to Brambles because he's going to learn something about flowers now. ]

There's something like flower language too, right?

Hehehe! I guess you're right ... somehow, that sounds even more terrifying!

[ and Brambles can't believe he's actually interested in learning more!! he's so happy, he can't stop smiling! ]

Mhm! It's not hard to guess I'm a bit of a nerd and I've practically memorised every flower meaning. Do you have a favourite flower you're curious to know about?

[ Why is he smiling so much, Joonghyuk doesn't understand. All he did was sit down and talk a bit about flowers... ]

I like sunflowers.

[ Even edgy people have favorite flowers. ]

[ he looks up at him and gasps softly with an excited smile. ]

"Pure and lofty thoughts, adoration, longevity, loyalty."

Sunflowers are so beautiful ... you have amazing taste.

You can tell that off the top of your head?

[ Maybe he's just read on sunflowers recently... it's test time. That's easier than reacting to that compliment. ]

What about camellias?

"Unpretending excellence."

[ He giggles! ]

Haha, yep! I told you, I'm a flower nerd.

[ He's not giving up just yet!! ]

Peony!

[ Is he going to yell the name of any flower that will come to his mind? Yes. ]

Now this one changes by location! In China, “prosperity and honour.” In Japan, “masculinity and bravery.” Globally it can symbolise “shame, bashfulness and anger.”

[ What are the odds of finding a flower that lowkey describes him as a person? Not that Joonghyuk thinks about such things. ]

Damn, you're good.

[ He could keep yelling, but there's no point—Brambles most likely knows the meanings of all flowers he knows. ]

Just make sure that your flower arrangements don't contain flower-shaped monsters.
