The City of the Specter, Atem's Palace

[metagame]

The corpse sinks to the floor
Even the brightest gold, even the sharpest blade
Becomes sand, becomes dust

So... do we just try to help encourage him so he can handle it better?

[Hmm...]

[finalmix]

[ hmmmmmmmmmm ]

No.

[ there is no explanation forthcoming ]

[moodwrecker]

...Okay. What else do you suggest, then?

[finalmix]

We could overthrow him.

[ gasp. blasphemy. ]

If he's being stubborn and this has been going on for a while he needs to get to a point where he's willing to listen, otherwise it's just as good as yelling at a wall.

[ shrug. ]

And if he's not coping well with the responsibility maybe someone else should take the role.

[ he has lost count of the number of times people have come for his composer position so he is talking from. personal experience, ]

[chimken]

I think we should investigate more to find the best way to help him. [ Falin frowns slightly, her cheeks turning red. ]

Allowing someone else to take the role may be part of the pressure he is feeling.

[finalmix]

[ gestures at the entire palace and the fact that they're all trying to get into the palace somehow ]

Isn't this us helping him?

[chimken]

[ Falin stares at Joshua. Normally, she was very patient with people...but she also was very cognizant of how certain people could be. She suddenly smiled and there was something different about this smile. ]

Of course it is.

[ HELP ]

...I suppose passing the role onto someone else could help, but...

We'd have to see about what might work best for him.

[ Argenti isn't exactly discounting the idea but at the same time when it comes to unseating rulers, well. He isn't entirely sure if that's going to fix Atem's problems either, until they know more. ]

[finalmix]

It might help, it might not~

If he really wants to keep the role that badly he will do what it takes to keep it.

[ again, personal experience, ]
