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?

[ Having not expected Izou to actually hug back, well... uh... hm... OKAY, FINE, THIS IS FINE. He'll allow this, so, yeah, here's one big group hug??? ]

S'all good. These places are pretty messed up, yeah?

[cirquedesang]

[Group hug, good. Yes. Accept the group hug both of you.]

You would have done the same for us.

[Calling him out!]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ LOOK, ELI WON'T DISAGREE, BUT??? ]

...yeahh, if I get stuck in one of these? You all should run the other way. Trust me on that one.

[ No DOING THE SAME, no way, no thanks. ]

[cirquedesang]

If you're stuck in one of these, you won't be able to make us.

[fullmoonmutt]

...tch.

[ No further comment. ]

[cirquedesang]

[One last public headpat because this is before the request to Not.]

[goei]

[He will hold on a moment longer.]

Yeah. And if any of you guys tell anyone else what happened in here, I'm gonna kill you for real.

[Hey, remember how you guys are on the fifth floor? So when the palace dissolves around everyone, you're up. In the sky.

For the sake of not murdering everyone, though, there's something to cushion their fall..... unfortunately it's an open garbage bin.

PALACE CLEARED]

[beathollow]

( ah )

[fullmoonmutt]

[ oh..... ]

[kandata]

[Sigh]

[cirquedesang]

[Ah- He doesn't even get a chance to respond to the threat before they're falling???

...And still in the group hug. Don't mind him as he clings a bit tighter.

...And kindly don't call him out on making sure he's the one the other two land on. (One last 16 for good measure.) That was completely incidental, yep.]

[fullmoonmutt]

[ WAIT, THAT MEANS ELI IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE HUG TRIO?!?!? AAAA!!! ]

[cirquedesang]

[NO IT MEANS HE GETS TO BE ON THE TOP]

[goei]

[THE ONLY TIME ELI GETS TO BE ON TOP.]

[goei]

.... Sorry. I didn't realize it was gonna do that.

[Pausing.]

S'everyone ok?

[cirquedesang]

[Muttering into Izou's shoulder--]

...Not the worst trash heap I've been dumped into.

[fullmoonmutt]

...guess this is better than hitting the pavement.

[ GRUMBLE GRUMBLE ]

[beathollow]

I was going to recommend we get a meal... but maybe we should go clean up and change first instead.

[idealitas]

We wouldnt—

[ and then the raccoon man along with everyone elsewas dropped into the trash.

this is apparently a happy ending for a palace run. we take those. ]

[goei]

[Groans.]

Wouldn't what?

[idealitas]

[ yi sang lifts himself up wearily. he has a takeout container on his head. ]

--Speak of anything personal that we saw in the dungeon. I'll assume it won't be relevant to any future discussion of palaces.

...I liked that poem, on that note.

[beautifulknight]

[ NO??????

HE'S OUT IMMEDIATELY AAAA ]

[goei]

[SEE YA SPACE COWBOY....

we'll collect him for dinner later]

[beautifulknight]

[ ....actually he didn't completely leave entirely. He is just. Outside of the garbage bin for now...for a little while longer...shaking off pieces of garbage.

Just to make sure Izou doesn't die and everyone is fine (then he'll leave and come back for whenever everyone is eating or something.....) ]

[cleansewithfire]

[ ...Well, okay.

Sunrise wirelessly lands in the trash with everyone, then slowly climbs out, equally wordlessly. ]
