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

[Hey, his only point of reference for killing machines besides Shalem himself and Soujuurou are movies! Cut him some slack for being narrow minded!]

...It is. You could kill me at any time you felt like it, and my chances of fighting you off would be incredibly low, especially outside of the Nekyia.

[With his Persona, he has a very slim chance of winning a fight. Without that, he has no hope at all against someone with any actual real experience with combat.]

But I don't see why that means I should be taking this like "oh, gotta act with caution now, I should ghost him, what if Shalem snaps!". Almost everyone here could kill me just as easily as you if I wanted to, and I could die in so many stupid ways, too, that I'd never see coming. If you're gonna kill me, then go for it, I don't give a fuck. If you're not, then who cares if you get off on blood more than the average guy? Geez, stop being so dramatic.

[sorry shalem he failed his "have self-preservation" roll]

[Shalem's intimidation roll is low (10) but that's not as if he doesn't attempt at something, tired as he is. He leans into Haruka's space, to speak near his ear.]

I do wish you'd have more self-preservation than that. Or even cognition. If you had noticed there was a rhyme or reason to what I was doing... You would not say any of that.

I'm more than just a man who likes to make people bleed. Calculating monsters are always the worst. [And then he steps away.]

[Well, maybe Haruka is a little intimidated (9... rip), but being intimidated, being afraid, has never stopped him from running his mouth before.]

Maybe if you weren't so damn cryptic, I'd have a better understanding on what it is you're like.

[But then Shalem gets to go pvp his worst fears so like, rip.]
