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

Are you going to remind me about Jordi-san again?

[Haruka sighs, but he gets up to his feet and pulls his sweater over his head, throwing it towards Soujuurou before stepping out of the pool.]

But fine, I get it. No more fucking around.

[And then he'll find somewhere to slip away so he can toss his pants into his inventory and change into his Pity Clothing.]

[metagame]

Before Haruka leaves the courtyard, he may spot something shiny in the corner of his eye.

[townmusician]

[Wow, he's getting a pity puzzle piece, too? Maybe not, since he rolled a 9, so getting rid of his wet clothes takes precedence, but he'll come back to take a better look at it... trust me bro... He's trying...]

[metagame]

When he returns, he'll see a cat is batting around an oddly-shaped piece of gold with an eye on it. As he approaches, the cat runs away.

[townmusician]

[Oh! Bye, kitty...

Haruka is nabbing that piece, though. Time to go report this like a good little twink.]

[emptyself]

No. In Jordi's we knew we were going to have a fight from the start. This is totally different.

[townmusician]

That's not what I meant!

[He means the whole. If they fuck around too much someone will die aspect of these dumb palaces.]

[emptyself]

[ unfortunately, soujuurou cannot read these brackets nor haruka's mind. therefore his reply is-- ]

Then what do you mean?

[townmusician]

Tch. Nothing. Don't worry about it.

[SORRY SOUJUUROU... He's testy. Also, still wet, so he's gonna flounce off to change.]

[emptyself]

Okay.

[ he'll just be headed over to give shalem the puzzle piece! ]
