[dancermai]

Thank you, Fox.

[ Nervous pause...]

Is that...your uniform when you go outside?

[artisticliberty]

[looks down--oh]

No, this was used to cover up my nudity after I lost my clothes.

...

It is not a common occurrence here, please rest assured.

[dancermai]

[ She should look more relieved than is actually showing on her face... ]

It sounds dangerous out there if you can lose your clothes...

[artisticliberty]

It is, but not for that reason specifically.

[dancermai]

Ah. I heard about the...temporary-death games that we're forced to play.

Did you just come back from one of those? Is that how you lost...your clothes?

[artisticliberty]

I did just return from a game, but as far as I am aware, no death was involved. But there were some strange compulsions.

[scratches at his neck, where he has a collar tattoo, though he doesn't realize it]

I should probably change into normal clothing, come to think of it.

[dancermai]

No death is good to hear! Really, all I've been hearing all morning is that there is a lot of death and revivals.

...and death here.

[ She's peering closely at his neck ]

That's a really cute design you have there. Did it hurt or is it temporary?

[artisticliberty]

Design? What design? Is there something on my neck?

[dancermai]

Yes it's a...

[ pointing to his neck and then using her two index fingers to point at her own neck to show that the design goes all the way around ]

...pattern that goes around your neck. You ...didn't know?

[artisticliberty]

No... that is strange. I was wearing a collar for most of the game, but I thought it had vanished at the conclusion--along with my clothing. This is unfortunate.

[dancermai]

OH! Clothes can vanish at the end of events.

[ Very obviously making mental notes about this. ]

It doesn't look like this collar can come off though.

[ Kind of reaching out and wanting to touch it to make sure ]

[artisticliberty]

[tbh that's what fox thinks too, even though he removed his clothing in the first place. for unrelated reasons]

Sometimes the effects from games can linger for several days afterwards. It would not be the first time.

[dancermai]

If the lingering effect is just this really nice collar then...

..things might not be so bad here after all.
