[ welp. this announcement sure is something. he's not surprised something like this would occur... but still. anyway, one will find him perched upon their dorms's bun chairs, scrolling his phone with the most displeased expression. ]
I suppose this better explains why we have been selected.
temenos returns to the dorm a bit later, looking very, very pensive - almost lost in thought. when kogitsunemaru addresses him, he glances up, then sighs, and comes to sit on one of the chairs. ]
temenos can be found after all of. that. out in the pretty secret garden room, seated at the low table. he's still in his priest boy clothes, and has his chin in his hand and a deep frown on his face, looking down at his phone. it doesn't seem he's doing much besides thinking, though.
when he spots kogitsunemaru, he gives him a slight nod in greeting. man what a day huh ]
[ if he wasn't already pure white haired he certainly would be after a twisty day like today. his whole being seems to be droopy and sad about the way things panned out but he still manages a semi grimace of a smile ]
This certainly was not what I had expected from the day.
Perhaps Hanako-kun was onto something after all. [ WE REALLY JUST CAN'T KILL THE MAYOR AND TAKE OVER THE CITY (...................unless?) ] What an extreme reaction for what others would call an accident.
[ not me opening up the top levels channel to see a bunch of people got arrested ] Not to burst anyone's bubble, but, I don't think we'll have it so easy. The people here are deeply concerned with us, and it will only become worse, for now.
For as much as I would like to save Mika. [ and wasn't that obvious? he was the one to reach out, at the trial. the one to try and question her. a quiet bond built in confession and familiarity, from a lost little lamb to a priest. ] We are going to have to find the corruption of this system and tear it out by the roots.
by which i mean temenos is just MINDING HIS BUSINESS going for a walk and exploring the new areas, staff of judgement in his hand, other arm in a sling. it is a nice normal monday! and as he happens to be walking somewhere at least in line of sight of kogitsunemaru, one of the SUPER trains comes by right as temenos is walking over the grate.
which means his nice priestly robes do one of these. he has trousers on underneath it apparently but he does not have a hand to stem it, currently, which means he just makes a less than dignified - ] Ack! [ - and attempts to pull it back down.
[ this would have been the greatest thread we've had if I didn't just big brain a priest box for tem BUT FOR NOW, kogi's learning a lot about his teammates choice in pants, and thinking quietly about good thing it's not as traditional as back home. wehe ]
thank aelfric he's wearing trousers. but also, god. the train seems to be long and is continuing to go as he sort of attempts to shove the billowy bottoms of his robe down. kogi is getting a Look but this look is severely interrupted by the fact that his ears are bright red and he looks mortified. ]
Thank you, Kogitsunemaru! [ the sarcasm in this is so sharp it could cut glass. but again. he is so red. what a loser. the train goes for another like thirty second before it finally stops and he practically hops off of it like a rabbit.
[ you can blame the fact he's both very old and a fox to boot but he's thoroughly enjoying watching this disaster unfold. said hours before his own disasters but that's a later story nts tell the team about that wehe. anyway, he will at least step closer to temenos, nudging him a little farther away from any more billowy occasions, looking terribly amused by the entire thing. awful. ]
I suppose it's rather fortunate these robes of yours include pants.
Yes, well. Leave it to the clergy to always consider modesty.
[ christ. or. fantasy christ. aelfric. WHATEVER. the point stands, at least he is not being winded anymore. his typically perfectly composed everything is a mess, and he reaches up with one hand to try and fuss his hair back into place. ]
[ he Looks at tem because just one of them dealing with ridiculous nonsense was bad enough. kogitsunemaru refuses to engage with this tomfoolery! for now!
[ ari you're so brave. i ahve decided all of my shrek scripts are [insert quote here] because i simply will evaporate if i have to think about my tags any more than i already had to for the last three days.
anyway he just looks more thoughtful, brow furrowing. ] Last week's motives were unclear, in at least one of our cases. The other, the motive was simple; "what will happen if I do it?" But with the knowledge of the parameters of our experience here in play, things become more complicated.
