“Hey should you uh, you know even be out like that? With all those layers on? I realize maybe I’m not one to talk but . . . You could at least take like ONE layer off right?”

There are too many of them and Mashirao finds himself backing into a corner, sweat trickling down his temple. He holds fast and hard to a sturdy stance, bracing himself for any of the four monsters circling around him to attack. He’d have to defend for now...!

     “Do tell, are beasts like these normally running around this crumbling city, or is there just a special party?”

“Don’t you get hot in that getup? It’s summer, and even my bodysuit is making my day a little more miserable due to it.”

{ ♠ }— “What are you, a ninja?” Sliske’s voice is nothing short of incredulous, brow raised in subtle amusement. Sure, the outfits here (he’d quickly found) were utterly ridiculous, but the individual was so buried in cloth. Only thieves and the fanciful few who liked the name ‘ninja’ would wear such outfits, surely? The hat alone was something suited to a fancy dress, or brought back from distant lands Sliske had little-to-no interest in.  With bored flippancy, he had little-to-no interest even now. “Ooh, are you going to a fancy dress party? This City does have parties, doesn’t it? Most people wouldn’t be seen dead in such wear without a good reason.”

“Hello~ There~. Tell me, are you new to this city too? Do you know anything about these apartments we’re supposed to be living in?”

“Isn’t it a little hot under all that? Summer is practically here, so wouldn’t you be around in something more... not covered up? I guess the hat is good for avoiding the sun.”
