[ kate can be encountered somewhere outdoors! she's in her regular clothes with her non-face no longer hidden. she tries not to bring attention to it, but along one of her shins is a word in white lettering: FALSE. ]
... It seems we've all been assigned some kind of living arrangements. I hope yours isn't too disagreeable.
[ she isn't quite sure how she feels about it, but... it's not the worst place she's had to sleep so she can make due. slowly oozing along her knuckles and down her fingertips in black: traitor and coward. ]
[ miss kate! marina's just standing outside the clothing shop curiously peeping through the window. ]
Wanna go see what they've got on offer for us? I don't know about you, but I could use a change of clothes.
[ i mean, her clothes are sad - her pink skirt has some sad faded bloodstains she's clearly tried to scrub out, the bottom of it graying and tattered a little as well.
Whoa, three times a day? You must have a huge wardrobe.
[ she's more in awe than anything... that sounds like a lot of clothes... ]
Guess we'll have to work your way back up to that while we're here.
[ if she'd like, she'll offer a hand, opening the door with the other and letting them inside! pardon but she will beeline it to the dresses immediately once she sees them. ]
Yes. In the manor, I had a collection of all kinds of dresses. It's difficult to be limited to just one for so long. And having to wash it every day...
[ painful. but she'll take that hand. to the dresses! ]
Mmm, high collars, long skirts. That's mostly what I've always worn. At school in Vatican City, we had a uniform that wasn't so bad. Similar to that.
[ kicking up a foot and looking back at her shoe, she hums. ]
Think I might see about getting a nice pair of boots, though, what with all the walking. Between the rats and everything else from back home, I'm pretty sure my shoes are totally worn through.
[ marina nods in agreement. practical shoes and pretty shoes - they could easily get both! combing the dresses... ]
Yeah, I went to school in this place, Vatican City. Got picked up by the Ministry when they caught wind of someone practicing magic in Prehevil's local church. It's not a common occurrence, having magic, so they seem to scoop up who they can and put 'em on scholarship to come learn more.
[ a short nod while peeking through some options. ]
... Raising ghouls, engraving, among other things. One affiliates themselves with an old god at the start of their training - but you can branch out to others as you go along. That's the one I began with.
(note: the fan translation is not great. "emilyko" should be "emilico." however, if it looks like certain characters are speaking in the third person... that is correct. they are doing that. it is weird.) ]
[ it's library time. marina is surrounded by books and seems to be deeply entrenched in the left-behind saga of the group called Chaos and the Afflicted. ]
Hey there... Quite the fascinating place we've found ourselves in this time.
[ she looks very tired... but delighted at least at the new area. and even more excited to see kate! ]

Well, the church is familiar enough.
[ she isn't quite sure how she feels about it, but... it's not the worst place she's had to sleep so she can make due. slowly oozing along her knuckles and down her fingertips in black: traitor and coward. ]
What about you? A place with a real bed I hope?

no subject
[ terrible actually. ]
Seems like you didn't get spared the obnoxious word plague going around... ugh.
no subject
I wonder if there's any purpose to them besides simple cruelty.
no subject
Not sure if there's a purpose...
[ glancing down a bit as ink bleeds out from her sleeve. moonscorched. ]
Nothing seems to cover them either. Like come on.
no subject
[ but then, she doesn't know where a word like "moonscorched" falls among the others she's seen. ]
... Is that a pejorative of some kind, as well?
no subject
[ :nyeh: she gives pause and glances down at her sleeve a moment. ]
It's... an outcome for those who resist the moon god Rher and his associate's theatrics. So. I suppose it feels like one. Yeah.
... why "false"...?
no subject
I don't know. I suppose I... play a lot of roles, sometimes.
no subject
Something you do a lot of back home...?
no subject
[ she hesitates... ]
For example... the role of Kate Shadows, a noble of the Shadows family.

[ i mean, her clothes are sad - her pink skirt has some sad faded bloodstains she's clearly tried to scrub out, the bottom of it graying and tattered a little as well.
Can't hurt to play a little dress up, yeah?
no subject
I'd love to. Having just one change of clothes is hard to live with... I normally change clothes three times a day.
no subject
[ she's more in awe than anything... that sounds like a lot of clothes... ]

What kinds of clothes do you like, Marina?

no subject
[ coming over to look at the wares... ]
You went to a school with a uniform? Was it a prestigious sort of place?
no subject
Yeah, I went to school in this place, Vatican City. Got picked up by the Ministry when they caught wind of someone practicing magic in Prehevil's local church. It's not a common occurrence, having magic, so they seem to scoop up who they can and put 'em on scholarship to come learn more.

they see a memory.

Hey there... Quite the fascinating place we've found ourselves in this time.
[ she looks very tired... but delighted at least at the new area. and even more excited to see kate! ]
Find anything here that catches your eye?
no subject
literally, somehow shimmering from her shadowy self. she immediately leans to get a look at what marina's looking at. ]
Yes... There's so much, I don't know how I'll find the time to read everything that I want to.
no subject
Well, good thing we can take some of these with us - seems like nothing's stopping us from doing so anyways.
... Say, are you alright, though? You're, uh... [ what's the word ] quite radiant today.
no subject
[ looks down at herself. ]
I don't feel any different, so I think I'm all right. Does it look strange?
[ the fact that her face actually catches some light means that you can almost make out some features! ]
