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

Maybe they shouldn’t have picked that fight. I’m not looking for them.

[ he will. ]

[privatedomicile]

There's only like two halls, they'll wrap around eventually? Unless one of these leads to the basement. Palaces got basements, yeah?

[emptyself]

Maybe. This place is huge.

[metagame]

Yes, there's a basement... You can only access that through the throne room.

[He's not too thrilled about the basement.]

But both hallways loop around to the open courtyard in the back. And the library's down this way! Would you like to see my collection of papyrus?

[This is a great time for Haruka to pop up, trying to fuss with his hair. The static... at least his hair isn't as long, but it's still annoying.]

...Oh. Hi.

[At least he's in good enough shape he's not visibly out of breath from running down the halls and that fight...]

[prozaic]

[Here is Shalem too, sans tunic-scarf and shirt and much less... soft in the expression than usual. He's gone a bit insane recently, he hasn't come down from it, can't, really.]

Hmm. [He only restrains himself because there's no battle-- yet.]

[pointzeropercent]

[Suddenly Sou is here too.]

Oh hey, there's where you guys went. Thought we lost you for a minute there.

[emptyself]

Haruka. Sou.

[ his glare isn’t a powerful one by any means, but it’s clear in his expression that he’s both unhappy and extremely concerned. ]

So does this mean that the others will also end up in the library?

[ yeah he said he wasn’t going to look for then but!! he was lying. ]

[metagame]

Probably! Come on, let's go!

[townmusician]

...Uh. I don't know?

[He wasn't exactly paying attention to see if people split off or not...]
