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?

[Well! Let's reconvene over here while sneaky people are sneaky]

Perhaps it's an ally of the demon. Given how calm everyone is, I do not think the demon himself attacks here.

[An ally of him is a good lead, though!]

It appeared when I first was accused to theft. I managed to talk my way out of trouble- I told an older man that I was simply borrowing the news paper to show McGillis and that I would bring it back promptly, which I did. The feeling of being watched lessened, but it was still present.

A few people in the teahouses have mentioned seeing someone watching them from out of the corner of their eyes as well.

Did you notice anything unusual about those who have felt observed?

No. I only heard them, I'm sorry. It was by the tea houses, but I didn't want to try getting in more trouble by trying to enter... I'm very worried that being monitored like this would make things come down on me harder, and I don't want to burden everyone with that.

You chose wisely.

[Hmmmm...]

Perhaps they are targeting people who might break the law. It is possible...

[It could be easy to lure such an entity, if Kirumi is right]

Has there been anyone else who's gotten this feeling...?

[personal profile] kandata 2024-09-02 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I have not been informed of anybody else feeling that.

[It's Argenti! But he hasn't told anybody yet, I think]

Perhaps they will feel it soon. We must ask once they are all back.

Mm. Regardless, we must be careful. I don't want to know what will happen when we all have eyes on us.

Do you feel prepared? If you feel you need back-up, you can rely on us all.

[Celeste is right there! And Kirumi, by virtue of being devoted to the group, is willing to fight]

More so when we're together than not. But I appreciate the reassurance.

You also are underestimating yourself. While you should not face a situation alone, you are more capable than you give yourself credit for.

[Or at least that’s Kirumi's opinion as someone who routinely pays attention to other's skills and capabilities. There's something about Papaya, she feels]
