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?

[ Anyway, moving on from the empty room to... (5)? ]

[goei]

[Eli has found the stairs!!

There is another shadow figure standing before the stairs though. A small one, maybe a child?]

Are ya here t'kill the demon?

[beathollow]

...

( mafuyu's grip tightens around her bow, and she frowns. )

You can't learn anything in death.

[goei]

So yer not gonna kill him?

Even though he's mean and did a lotta bad stuff?

[beathollow]

That's not my call to make. But... I think that, it is better to offer a path to atonement. I don't think he's so far gone that death is necessary.

( ... also like he's already dead. but like. she's not gonna just say that part outloud. )

I think that maybe... even offering the chance could do good. And we'll still keep him out of trouble, regardless.

[goei]

[The child shadow cocks his head as if he doesn't get it, but doesn't ask her anything more.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ Small... ]

Uh. No, I'm just here to kick his a— [ Right. Child. ] His... butt... and drag him home. He, er. He won't bug you no more, promise.

[goei]

But if you just beat'm up won't he go back ta causin' trouble eventually?

[fullmoonmutt]

[ uhhhhh ]

Nah, because I'll keep an eye on him. Me and the others here. We, like, care about him or some shi... [ sdkfs ] ...stuff.

[goei]

[The child shadow makes a "hmmm" sound like he's not sure about that but doesn't ask any more.]

[fullmoonmutt]

...right. I'll just.

[ scoot on right by ya there

Eli will give the kid a pat on the head while passing by to go up the stairs. ]

[beautifulknight]

[ ... ]

We're here to face him down through honorable combat.

[ However that combat looks like. ]

[goei]

[The child shadow tilts his head.]

Ain't that fer real samurai?

[beautifulknight]

[ There's a small pause, as he's flashing it back to the first conversation he had with Izou. ]

I see no reason why he should not be entitled to it.

And why he would not be considered a respectable warrior in his own right.

[goei]

[Hmm.]

You talk funny.

[But he'll step aside to let Argenti go up.]
