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?

[ Here comes Eli jogging back, holding up a very similar segment triumphantly. He has successfully fetched. Good dog. ]

Hey, there was this weird shadow lady watching me and she gave me this thing! Is it important?

[ Wait...what, he'll look over at that. That's twice (thrice) now with the shadows, should he go ahead and chase whatever is watching him down now.

Provided whatever it is still watching?? Is it??? ]

[ do it do it ]

[ WE'RE GOING FOR IT FAM ]

[He does still feel like he's being watched, yes. Whether or not that's related to the shadow men giving treats.]

[ Well, whether or not it's treats or something else entirely, Argenti will decide to see if he can catch whatever it is that's watching him?

(Apparently not. He actually rolled a 1 here.) ]

[...Two Frenchmen, One Braincell in this moment.

So, you know, double that question. Is he still being watched, too? And is there a shadowy friend accompanying the watching?]

[Celeste still feels like he is being watched. But there isn't any more shadow men in the vicinity, no.]

[That is both inconvenient and throws a wrench in the "people with watchitis go talk to a shadow" plan! He does have the thought to try and pick out what is watching him, but considering he rolled a whole one (1), it's probably way too crowded for him to see jack and/or shit.]

[With a 1: There are many people here! They seem to be of the east asian persuasion.]

Yes. Sunrise and I got one as well.

[ For this being Izou's horrible and likely to be depressing heart palace, Eli sure is having a good time. First, taking that guy out with one shot, now getting an Important Item. He beams at Mafuyu. ]

Great! Think we have all the ones we need?

... I'm not sure. We needed all of us to cross the bridge- maybe we each need one of these as well?

Could be. Let's put the ones we have together and see how many pieces are missing? That's, like, a thing, right?

They are only pieces... Let's try.

( OKAY BOSS HOW DO THE PIECES FIT )

[ Sorry, the Boss (Mabosstiff) is not here, only Eli. He'll still hold his piece out to put it together with any others, though! ]

( boss caitie but i can understand the confusion )

[Help. I am Mabosstiff now it's fine.

Anyway, the three pieces fit together! They seem to form half of a complete guard. To save you the math, that means you need three more.

On top of that, though... The ones holding the pieces together will watch them stick together... and then start to tug the holders towards the next street over as if they're pulled there be magnetic force.]
