IZOU'S PALACE

[goei]

KYOTO BAKUMATSU PALACE
You find yourself in historical Kyoto at night. The city is shadowy and beautiful, elegant but hostile. It's a sophisticated city, but you don't belong there and it knows it. Everyone knows it. You are being watched.

Worst of all, a terrible demon haunts the streets of this powerful capital city.

Eli Walsh, Kirumi Tojo, Still Sunrise, Argenti, Yi Sang, Celeste, Mafuyu Asahina, and McGillis Fareed, do you dare journey into hell?

... I'd volunteer myself, but I stick out like a sore thumb here.

[ EXTREMELY CONSPICUOUSLY LARGE WHITE MAN NOISES???

... also he would absolutely stab everyone in the back but like. Neither here nor there, nobody who knows this is present right now. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

Eh? I mean, usually, I'd agree with ya, rich boy, but if this is like the other one, these folks probably won't notice.

[ Eli isn't as large, but the whole yellow eyes and wolf teeth thing might... be a little more alarming than being a giant white man, you know, normally. ]

[vogelfrei]

The other one...?

[ Sorry, someone here wasn't on Mission Aubrey, woops...

And no, you see, Japan is a land of Youkai. Eli will be fine. (Says man who has read too many books.) ]

... The other day- there was something like this. One of ours was drawn into it and held captive within- It was as if part of the Nekiya warped to fit it's victim... b-but I don't know if it's our place to elaborate on certain specifics. It was... personal.

[vogelfrei]

[ Oh hey, he really hates this!! ]

Count on this place to keep getting more invasive by the minute... How do we get out? Is it a straight-forward rescue scenario?

[beathollow]

With her, we had to find a way to the heart of the area- there were shadows we had to fight, and once we got to the core of the issue we were taken to where... her shadow was. It was as if her Persona had become warped. We had to defeat it.

[vogelfrei]

[ He still hates this?? Wow. But also it's pretty straight-forward as far as plan of action goes. ]

So we need to seek out whatever locations are most significant to the owner of this place and find their shadow, got it.

Then our first step should be gathering hints towards their identity.

[beathollow]

They're likely from Japan, given the area- it's reminiscent of older buildings and traditional fashion.

[vogelfrei]

[ Nods. ]

That does narrow it down at least a little. You're also from Japan, right? Your knowledge might become invaluable to us.

[ Mafuyu has been promoted to Tour Guide. ]

Let's look at one of the other establishments nearby while we wait for the others to come back.

[beathollow]

... I'll do my best, yes.

( this may be before her time, though... )

[fullmoonmutt]

Yeah, Aubrey... had one of these, too. Uh. Some chick said this stuff is made from hearts? Meta... phorically.

[ Look, Mafuyu, he remembered the right word.

Also, excuse you, he isn't a demon??? He's human! Human! ]

[vogelfrei]

While it shouldn't come as a surprise now...

[ He trails off, but is clearly displeased. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

Yeah... It's pretty weird, so keep an eye out for, uh. Even something stupid and little might be a clue?

[ Although as he looks around, he has to wonder aloud... ]

I wonder who this one belongs to. This place looks real old-fashioned.

[vogelfrei]

It does. Old fashioned and Asian... We have a lot of people from that region, but I couldn't say which time period they're all from.

[ Or like... tell apart one time period from another. He has read a bunch of Japanese folk tales but most actual Japanese history is lost to time. ]

[beathollow]

( she's proud of you buddy good job )
