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?

[He is still ????? but.... At least he's simmering down.]

... Why'd you throw yer shoes.

[cirquedesang]

[...You saw that????]

...They weren't flexible.

[goei]

[I decided he has a vague sense of what happened away from him.]

... So? How much do you gotta be able ta bend yer feet.

[cirquedesang]

Hm...

[Good question! And he doesn't have the most satisfying answer, but hey, maybe as a sword genius Izou will understand.]

It is... not so much a 'gotta' as it is what I am used to and any supernatural aid to my balance is missing, at present. [Or to put it another way--] Like if you were to attempt your usual sword techniques with a western broadsword. [Not impossible, but uncomfortable and inconvenient.]

[goei]

He grimmaces just imagining such a thing.]

I guess if ya put it like that... Though then you got burned anyway for it.

[cirquedesang]

Mmhm. A risk I was taking when I threw them.

[Not so much the... burning specifically, but. Getting injured.]

[goei]

What I don't get is why you guys got different clothes in th'first place. Not like yer servants so ya can't get spiritron dress or nothin.

[cirquedesang]

[Because we wanted to and mods said yes--]

Perhaps you simply wished to see us like this.

[He has no clue, but when in doubt: tease.]

[goei]

Why would I care how you idiots are dressed!?

[cirquedesang]

That is something you will have to ask yourself in the coming weeks, I suppose~

[goei]

Now I'm just worried if I go into one of these things if they happen again, I'm gonna end up in some uncool outfit.

[cirquedesang]

They all seemed to suit us, to some degree...

[Is this meant to be reassuring or meant to imply if Izou ends up in an uncool outfit he deserves it? Yes.]

[goei]

... I guess so. Even though I don't know shit about ladies fashion.

[cirquedesang]

You know enough to have imagined something that looked nice.

[Apparently that's enough!]

[goei]

Maybe it wasn't me, maybe it was whatever made that weird place happen in the first place.

1/2

[cirquedesang]

[...]

2/2

[cirquedesang]

You made that weird place happen in the first place.

[goei]

Did not! You think I know how ta do magic like that!?

[cirquedesang]

You think I thought you did this on purpose?

[They're talking in circles.]

Whatever caused it was pulled from your mind, no matter how it got there.

[goei]

Well whoever pulled it out coulda added stuff!

[cirquedesang]

...Like an outfit change.

[goei]

Yeah! Like that.

[Sure whatever you say Izou.]

[cirquedesang]

[Whatever you say, Izou.]

Let's get you out of here--
