Grand Desert Region, Korous - Golden age era

Niki notices the stuff pop up on her glasses.
"Hey guys, *azure sent me some coordinates and a picture. I think it's where we need to go! It looks like some kinda 2 story building with a sign out front with a picture or something. It's hard to make it out in this resolution, but I think it's a... moon in a puddle? It's hard to tell. ➜"
Upon hearing Elsey and noticing the cart puller on the horizon, she scrambles to find something more period specific in her sylladex.
...she hadn't packed for this era.
"...darn it. ➜"
She scrolls through it a bit more and tries to think about what will work. She uncaptchas a bedsheet and tries to tie it around her... somehow. It's a bit wrinkled from not being folded properly and it drags a bit on the ground.
"Okay, I think I got something. I only have one bedsheet tho. ➜"

The maid looks over at her before perking up in slight shock.
"...what are you doing down here?! Aren't you satisfied with the damage you've done already?"
The maid gets uncomfortably close to Kat, enough to smell the alcohol on her breath. She begins to speak in what should be a hushed tone, but with the inability to control the volume of her voice, she winds up saying it just about as loud as usual.
"The Voice of Time has forsaken me! No matter how much I've prayed for guidance, all he does is throw insults at me!"
The maid is tearing up a little while glaring at Kat from like, a couple inches away.

Some of the bar patrons appear to be watching, though most of them are minding their own business.
The bartender is busy preparing some sort of fruit juice, squeezing an odd citrus looking thing with a juicing tool of some sort.

Meanwhile, the cart puller is getting closer...

"How can you be so DENSE after you broke his heart, Katalina?! After you left him in the dust and crushed his dreams of ever finding anyone to share his love with?! After you willingly handed over his greatest gift to the blight in the sun's eye?!" The maid waves her arms around dramatically to add emphasis.

"The moment I hesitated to... follow his orders, was the moment he knew I could never be good enough... Honestly I think there's only one way to regain his favor... but now is not the time or place for that. Too many witnesses..." The maid glances off to the side, avoiding eye contact.

The bartender places the glass of freshly squeezed fruit juice on the counter in front of Kat and then resumes their regular bartenderly duties. This person must have seen quite a bit happen here before.

"L-love...? What gift...? I don't know...I don't recall anything about that, but...Y-You can just call me Kat..."

Kat takes the glass of juice and starts sipping as she contemplates about the situation.

She finally recalls about the fact that Chronos was issuing commands to people on this planet during his time in Seth's body...He's definitely the Voice of Time, then.

But what is the girl talking about? She doesn't remember this kind of scenario...At least, not during her session. She does think there was something similar during her time as a ghost...But she can't remember the details.

"Maybe we could talk about this later, when you're sober..."

Kat looks at her glass wistfully.
"I'm sure that I may not be the right Kat...And I'm not sure if any apology will reach him...But I wish him the best, despite it all."

She eventually finishes her glass and puts it aside.

"...But...I know that you can always believe in what both your heart and your head tells you, if not anyone else. If...If you need anything from me, just say so."

Fannie looks over at the short nakkadile that's seemed to have taken an interest in her shirt.
"Um, do you need something?" She looks ahead and sees the cart puller getting closer. "Ticks and tocks, I gotta put this thing on!... again." She slips the cultist robe back on.
"...Thanks for reminding me, I guess."
