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?

[ "hopefully make them not stand out too much"

Uh huh. Sure. Maybe everyone else suddenly fits in, but Eli suddenly finds himself in torn rags and bandages, even if those rags do have a Japanese flair to them.

Surprised by this sudden change, he accepts it instead of making a big fucking scene-- oops, who am I kidding, he gives a jump and immediately shouts, ]

What the fuck is this supposed to be?!

[ Well. This is probably fine. ]

...

Yours is so different...?

( izou is this your beef with eli showing )

Christ, is this dumbass picking out the costumes or what...

[ Grumble, grumble, he's stripping!

Off the most outer layer since it's literally the worst of it. The rest is fine. He guesses! ]

... That's- a good question, actually.

I mean, it's got to be?! Everyone else got something cool or cute!

...

Wow.

[ What does that mean, Mafuyu?! ]

Hey, it isn't my fault we're always fighting! He can't keep his stupid mouth shut!

( bluntly: )

It takes two.

... But I was more judging him than you.

[ Excuse?! It takes two?! Grrr, but he doesn't want to say anything mean to Mafuyu?! ]

...r-right. Yeah.

[ That's right. Let's judge Izou. Yep. ]

... It's a shame, the state of these clothes. They're rather striking.

... [ Are they?! Eli doesn't seem quite as convinced but. ] I. Guess I could try fixing them if they stick around.

[ Loud barking... ]

Is it comfortable?

[ The full kimonos are, but it does take a bit to get used to moving in them. ]

[ bark bark bark bark bark ]

Uh.

[ He does a few jogs in place at that question, investigating. ]

I... suppose? Yeah. At least I didn't get stuck with those clunky sandals everyone else got.

[ That gets a nod of acknowledgment. ]

You've been fighting well against our foes. It would be ideal to not be hindered by something meant to fit us into... an aesthetic, I'm assuming.

[ We're scapegoating the depths of Izou's heart here. ]

[ That's a way nicer take on it... ]

Tch. I guess.

[ I forgot to say that eli jogging in place to check is cute to imagine, but ANYWAY. ]

Express your complaints to Izou whenever and however you'd like.

Are you... meant to be our servant...?

[Why else would he be so... anti-fancy? It kind of makes sense, in a way, but damn.]

We need to pay you better.

[ Guess who's getting that outermost layer that he just pulled off yeeted at him? It's Celeste. That's who. ]

Don't even start with that nonsense.

[Yeah he'll let himself get hit with it, he knows he kind of deserved that... but what's he supposed to do with this??? Stuff it in his sleeve??

...Yeah, nah, it's getting further yeeted right back out the door.]

You have been putting in quite a bit of work on the shadows.

[He's starting with that nonsense.]

[ Ohhh no, no no, nope. ]

Don't make me bite you, sir.

[ Sunrise will not comment on Eli's outfit because, frankly, she doesn't have much fashion sense. The others have got it covered already anyway. She is however gesturing at Eli to lean down a little because sir you are too tall compared to her. ]

[ ...what the? Well, since it's Sunrise gesturing for him to lean down, he'll do it. ]

Yeah?

[ She is wordlessly going to tidy up that bandage around his neck, at least so it isn't just hanging down from him. It probably looks a little funny that she is basically winding some of it around his neck, though. ]

It would be very unpleasant if someone grabbed this during a fight.

[ ...Why does it sound like she knows this from experience... ]

Wh...?

[ She isn't wrong, though. He hadn't even considered that. Alright, alright, he'll hold still while she wraps it better. ]

Uh, thanks?

You are welcome.

[ And she does it pretty well, carefully and neatly tucking the bandages. ]
