IZOU'S PALACE

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?

[ ...which startles Eli. With his fist no longer striking something solid, he staggers forward a step. ]

Buh? Wait. [ What? Huh?! ] Was that it?!
vogelfrei: (smile; smug relaxed)

[personal profile] vogelfrei 2024-09-02 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh. Well done.

[ The praise isn't sarcastic. McGillis does like watching people kick ass.

Even if the ass was very easy to kick. We'll just gloss over that. ]

[personal profile] fullmoonmutt 2024-09-02 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh, yeah. Right.

[ Praise...? What is this? First Aubrey's palace, now this. People telling him he's done good is weird! ]

Efficiently solved.

[Nice, it was totally dealt with. Kirumi has no complaints!]

[Applause for you from the direction of the "maybe we should make a plan first" squad.]

My, he sure went down easy for talking so much.
fullmoonmutt: (077)

[personal profile] fullmoonmutt 2024-09-02 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I... guess so. I mean. I did punch him pretty hard. Right?

[ He looks uncertainly at Garm, who offers no answers besides a huff before fading away into the mists again. ]
cirquedesang: (🎪 ⧼026⧽)

[personal profile] cirquedesang 2024-09-02 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You did, but one would think he could handle a few, no?

[But, you know, that sure sounded like you were looking for some praise there, my guy, so. Just. Gonna give one of those promised good boy hair ruffles as he walks by onto the bridge.]

[ slkdnfsd hey! ]

I said not to do that, Celeste!

[ Eli is ignoring the forced confession about liking headpats from before. He is ignoring it! It is ignored! Huff, puff, well, whatever, he'll cross the bridge after. ]
cirquedesang: (🎪 ⧼038⧽)

[personal profile] cirquedesang 2024-09-02 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just because Eli is ignoring it doesn't mean Celeste is!! He's also very pointedly remembering the disappointment at the implication that he might stop at some point, so. Protests? Ignored.]

[ An approving nod in his direction after he has soundly defeated this man. ]

It seems so...

But, I can only imagine the difficulty will grow from hereon.

[personal profile] fullmoonmutt 2024-09-02 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably... Maybe all of Izou's allies were just a bunch of losers or something.

[ did his side lose??? eli bets they lost ]

...All bark and no bite.

[ someone had to say it. ]

[ An amused look from over here. Help ]

[personal profile] fullmoonmutt 2024-09-02 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
...oi, are you making fun of me?!

[ eli no ]
idealitas: (ys n-eyesclosed)

[personal profile] idealitas 2024-09-02 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not in the slightest. Your bite was the one that took him down quite succinctly.

[ or: good job! maybe. ]

[ Eli stares at him suspiciously for a moment, but... he lets it go. Right. He meant the other guy. ]

But...

[ ...Wait this is one of those idioms, isn't it. Probably? ]

[personal profile] idealitas 2024-09-02 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It means they may boast or provoke with verbosity, but cannot back it up with physical prowess.

[ crying in "yes he's explaining it" ]

Not that they were speaking much of themself except in comparison to the demon, or perhaps Izou. I wonder if this was a person from Izou's life.
cleansewithfire: (Wishing for a most terrible end)

[personal profile] cleansewithfire 2024-09-02 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hmmm... ]

Thank you, Mr. Eli.
fullmoonmutt: (007)

[personal profile] fullmoonmutt 2024-09-02 07:31 pm (UTC)(link)
...you're welcome. [ Pause. Uh. ] I'm sure you'll get a chance to light Izou on fire. This guy wouldn't have been worth the effort.

That would depend on what happens.
