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?

...

You're wrong. That's not a life for anyone, demon or not.

[goei]

Haaah, that's how it works here in . Anyone who doesn't serve a purpose gets thrown to th'flames.

[beathollow]

( something about that makes her stomach churn. )

...

You sound... like her. So, I cannot accept such a thing. I won't. Not when you've already shared the pain you carry from this.

[goei]

Pain!? I ain't in pain, that's fer weak people! Demons ain't afraid of nothin' and they can't be killed!

[Oh he didn't like that.]

[beautifulknight]

[ 'Can't be killed'...

Him saying this when he knows Izou died is kind of... ]

[goei]

[Listen. Listen shut up.]

[beathollow]

Do you expect me to believe that when all you've done is broadcast your loneliness?

Your abandonment! Your ostracization! Even the path to you, dozens of empty rooms or terrified people too scared to speak your name! It hurts, doesn't it!

( except- can he lie to her when they all know about that network post...? )

[goei]

[He almost seems to grow in size, but maybe it's just an optical illusion caused by a change in stance and his fiery red hair flaring out about him as he gestures.]

It doesn't! I'm a demon spreadin' death! I'm gonna burn this whole city down with my anger! No one's ever gonna hurt me cause I'm gonna strike'em down first!

[beathollow]

( oh shit. maybe she should stop, because at the end of the day she is only a seventeen year old girl. but... )

People who aren't hurting don't think like that!

[goei]

I don't wanna hear it! Keep yer opinions to yerself!

[With a wave of his hand, Mafuyu is pushed back several yards by an invisible force and struck mute until the leaves this room! Conversation rights revoked.]

[beathollow]

( she stumbles, almost falling back completely with a cut-off cry and only barely managing to catch herself. she tries to say something once, twice- and then. ... wow she hates this actually. ... will... she be able to still summon snow white like this?

she is. however. very much certain she's right, now. eat it, izou. )

[beautifulknight]

Miss Mafuyu?!

[ Holy shit, he is not sure what has just happened. ]

Are you alright?

[beathollow]

( when their eyes meet he'll be able to tell she's. extremely shaken, but.



when she tries to speak, once more, there is nothing. )

[beautifulknight]

[ ...

His lips press into a thin line. ]

I am sorry this happened to you. I do not know how to undo what has been done to you, but I hope there is a way to find it soon.

[beathollow]

( she tries to reassure him but. well. that is very hard for obvious reasons. eventually she just nods, white knuckles gripping her bow like a lifeline. )

[beautifulknight]

[ This is kind of a two-parter because Argenti sends the other man a look too. ]

...You really couldn't handle what she was saying, could you?

[goei]

I ain't listening to little girls yammerin' on about things they don't understand. If you start with me I'll take yer tongue too.

[beautifulknight]

I firmly believe that she full well understood what she was talking about.

If it hurts to face that, however, it makes sense that you could no longer bear to hear it for the moment. Not that I approve of your methods, because I don't.

[ Obviously, Argenti disapproves.



Yeah the guy warned him about taking his tongue too but he is a knight. Does he think he can cower him like that? Absolutely not. ]

That being said, can you not lift what you have done to her?

[goei]

Once you get outta my sight, I don't care if she talks more.

[So it'll wear off whenever he fucks off, apparently?]
