The City of the Specter, Atem's Palace

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

[...Hm.]

Hey.

[He looks over at the other people looking over at the mural.]

So, like... what are we going to do if they try to execute us?

[Also...could they remove their personas from them?? That would be a horrible nerf, but...]

I was hoping someone had a plan after dragging us into this.

[Clearly that was too much to hope for.]

I think the plan is just "try talking to the Pharaoh", but after that? If we piss him off?

[""""if""""]

Don't think anyone thought that far ahead.

I suppose we'll have to think on our feet, then. Though let's try to avoid being arrested and potentially condemned next time.

If there's a next time I think we should just start blasting and skip all of the scheming entirely.

If they do not listen to reason, we engage them in honorable combat.

[ Argenti refuses to die in here...! As for if they can take away their Personas, though? uh...hm. ]

[HOW IS THAT MORE HONORABLE THAN BLASTING FROM THE GETGO, ARGENTI]

...Of course. Violence is always the answer.

[personal profile] beautifulknight 2024-09-30 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ IT'S SUPER HONORABLE NOW BECAUSE IT'S LATER- ]

...Always? I should hope it is not. But in such a case where our lives are at risk, I would agree that it would be the answer.

[ Argenti will not hesitate to resort to violence when needed but he prefers to actually solve it by being non-violent. ]

[personal profile] townmusician 2024-09-30 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I mean in these palaces! Everyone always jumps to beating the hell out of everything...

[Which. He guesses their lives are always at risk in these... so maybe Argenti has a point? But he doesn't want to admit that, so he won't.]

beautifulknight: (🌹28)

[personal profile] beautifulknight 2024-09-30 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh!

I suppose it also depends even here, as there are usually enemies available to beat upon in palaces like these. So it isn't entirely surprising to see everyone go on the attack.

Yet, in the end, I can only hope we are able to resolve it all as peaceful as possible...even while knowing we will inevitably fight for our lives, and solve it all in a most beautiful as well as heartwarming fashion!

[ Argenti says firmly, the b word slipping into there, almost like he's really about to start Yapping. ]

...Right. Heartwarming. I'll just think heartwarming thoughts while everyone gets the shit kicked out of them.

That's a surprising sentiment, coming from you.

Yes. You're not truly the bloodthirsty type, are you?

...Heh. I might not be from a place that's as dangerous as the homes a lot of people here are from, but that doesn't mean I'm a good person, either.

[Shalem just gives him a look, complete with a raised eyebrow. Somehow he doesn't believe that Haruka is as tough as he presents himself.

SOMEHOW.]

[wow!!! he can be hardcore!!!! but it's not like he's going to fight about whether or not he's a bad person because that's fucking cringe, so he's just going to busy himself looking around the room and trying to find his cat (soujuurou).]
