::So it's a fabulous late spring day at Labirinto. The air is nice and cool. And there appears to be a sale on clothing, as well as guidebooks to interpreting your dreams and how to make friends. There's also a sale on candles. And winter themed statues.

Enjoy walking about.::

*... she's nice. A card he's considered integrating. He nervously looks over her statue, glancing over every so often at the front counter.*

::The owner seems intrigued by your purchase and hopes you buy it. There's also two icy birds, that'd go nicely with Sylphine. Also a wintergreen tea is on sale.::

[thefrozenstorm]

*... ... I'll get the set of them. ... and the tea. tea is fine. he likes tea, right? Yes. He gathers them up, going up to the front.*

[by_the_pricking]

Are you alright today, customer? You seem anxious.

[thefrozenstorm]

-- hm, do I? Sorry.

*he should say something. he should say something. this would be the one guy who'd know anything, bar Asmodeus himself... damnit, like there's a knot in his throat about it.*

I. Do hope your business has been going well.

[by_the_pricking]

Rather well since that gaudy monstrosity vanished, people seem to have decided they need more daily comforts and less luxuries.

[thefrozenstorm]

... That parlor, right? I did notice it was gone, now.

*smiles slightly* Hm, it's at least nice to hear that it caused an upswing for you, as a result.

[by_the_pricking]

Well yes, I think they were playing with various magical spells involving seduction, though, are you sure there isn't anything you'd like to ask?

::Ringing the items up.::

[thefrozenstorm]

*damnit. his smile drops a bit*

... I can't really deny that, but it is more... I'm not able to word it.

[by_the_pricking]

Write it down?

[thefrozenstorm]

*... he laughs a bit*

Sorry. I think that would count towards words, too. Just...

*he sighs, tapping a finger on the counter*

... You remember what. Asmodeus did, correct?

[by_the_pricking]

Which specific part. He did a lot of things, customer.

[thefrozenstorm]

Hm, specifically... The part about the Frozen Guards of the Ice Barrier.

[by_the_pricking]

It was a piecemeal, artificial Duel Spirit he created, yes.

[thefrozenstorm]

*... he laughs a bit bitterly, smiling again, but... rather sad.*

You basically just answered what I was going to ask specifically.

[by_the_pricking]

Ah? Is that so? Nearly all the Duel Spirits that worked for him that he made well. Not to be cruel, they weren't designed to have personalities.

[thefrozenstorm]

Hm, I know you're not trying to be cruel. But it does explain more than enough.

Easier, I'd imagine, to have them do what he intended on.

[by_the_pricking]

Exactly.

[thefrozenstorm]

Makes sense, makes sense... that's all I wanted to really know, then. *even if it. stings. it very much stings. but he shouldn't cause too much alarm, here.*

[by_the_pricking]

If you wish to ask more, please do so.

[thefrozenstorm]

... Just... Do you think it's possible for any of the Duel Spirits he created, to eventually develop a. Personality...?

[by_the_pricking]

Oh, they'd have a personality in the first place, shallow, but I don't see why it couldn't grow.

[thefrozenstorm]

Hm... I see. At least there's some hope there... ... Sorry, I'm being misleading, aren't I.

[by_the_pricking]

Yes.

[thefrozenstorm]

*looks down somewhat*

... If I said that I'm that Guard, would you be alarmed?
