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

Mafuyu?

[ soujuurou looks up, left, right, and up, and then back down at her. ]

Did you fall from the sky?!

[beathollow]

... Yes... I don't know what happened.

This is Atem's palace, right? ... I was... rude to him before, when under the God of Conflict's influence. I'll have to apologize.

[emptyself]

I'm sure he'll understand if you apologize.

[ he won't mention the fact that he himself never realized that mafuyu was under the influence of the god of conflict, because even soujuurou has a bit of pride. ]

At worst, he might just ask you to play a game with him. He seems to like doing that.

( soujuurou also didn't catch her absolutely destroying the common room and tearing things up before celeste found her and fixed everything. that was... a bit more obvious. )

... Hopefully my luck from home continues, then.

I know mine is still continuing from your palace. We got arrested and I lost in his game.

[ oh he's been carrying this under his arm the whole time... ]

Here. It's some sort of clothes that we got from a criminal vendor at the marketplace.

[ it's a tunic! ]

--Are you sure? It's really hot, and you wear a lot of sweaters.

[emptyself]

I had to trade the black shirt for this.

[ at this point, his usual sweater is tied at his hips, and he's only wearing his loose t-shirt that he wears underneath! basically like this. ]

But it's fine, I don't think I'd be used to moving around in this anyways.

[beathollow]

... If you're sure.

( ... whispering- )

Where do I go to change?

[emptyself]

[ um- ]

Maybe... talk to the people working here?
