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 think that might be best. In the other place like this, there were a lot of shadows that we had to fight- it was dangerous to be split up for too long.

[fullmoonmutt]

I still can't believe this is all made up from Izou's... whatever. Friggin' idiot, falling for. I don't know. Whatever makes these things, I guess.

[ He has to get a dig in at Izou somehow! ]

But you're right. We shouldn't stay split up too long, but, uh, if you look around the street, I ain't seeing the rest in any of the shops here anymore.

[cleansewithfire]

They might have gone somewhere nearby.

[ She will be taking a look around. ]

...Maybe that park.

[fullmoonmutt]

I mean, if they ditched us, that's kind of on them...

[ He'll throw a look parkwards, though. ]

Why there?

[cleansewithfire]

Mr. Eli, were you not the one who said you were not going anywhere with Mr. Argenti?

[ I.e., one could argue the ditching happened there, so to speak. ]

I would not know, but if they had heard about the demon, would a park not be the sort of place where an attack could happen?

[fullmoonmutt]

[ !!! ]

Splitting up to cover more ground and gather information is a smart thing to do! It worked out in Aubrey's... thingy! So!

[ Eli, maybe shout a little less. That's disruptive. ]

If they're following a lead over there, why shouldn't we follow ours, huh? I mean. We would just need to be careful not to start any fights, yeah?

[beathollow]

It wouldn't hurt to check.

[cleansewithfire]

That is also an option.

[ Sunrise is, unfortunately, not going to stop Eli from shouting. ]

Shall we go?

[fullmoonmutt]

Yeah, let's check it out. I'll just... not yap on about the shogi nates or whatever. Good, right?

[ eli......

Anyway, yes, it is time to autopilot McGillis and themselves across that river. ]

[beathollow]

( come along, uncle white man. )

[goei]

[WELL!!! On heading towards the river, the group will find that their way across is a bridge!

However they cannot cross it. There is a shadowy figure standing in the way. Like. Literally shadowy. He's shaped like a man but cloaked in shadow despite the clear moonlight.

It holds out a similarly shadowed sword and says;]

YOU ARE TOO FEW TO TAKE ON THE DEMON.

[Sorry Eli, you are being railroaded just a little this one time. Better find the other half of your group or wait for them.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Excuse you, what the fuck is this? Eli stops short of the bridge and stares blankly at the figure. ]

What.

[ Can't believe they're being partyblocked, omg. ]

[beathollow]

... Then we'll need the others regardless...

[fullmoonmutt]

What a load of crap... ugh, fine, I guess we should go get them.

[vogelfrei]

... awfully convenient of Izou's mind to warn us like this.

[ Maybe he's got a bleeding heart after all.

Or is it because he wants to show off how many he can take on??? ]
