HighEndNoob (Gaius/Gai) (IVDf VIPw IIIPc IIIWt)You instinctively put the tablet up to your ear. It speaks! The tablet speaks!
It is a female voice. The voice of this "Okasa."
"Gai, have you been with Rico-chan?" she asks of the wielder. "He's been leaving the house late at night more the past week. I'm worried for him..."
Ozarck (Di/Hamada) (4Df 3Pw 7Pc 2Wt)Placing what little you have at the foot of the altar among flowers and strange pieces of jewelry, you await an answer, if you can hear it.
You look down, and see a steady-expanding pool of red streaming down from your feet. But the pool expands in the direction away from the alter, toward the grassy hill. You notice that your clothes are mostly clean. The green hue of your coat stands out now.
Hearing footsteps against the raindrops, you encounter a
skulking girl dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and blue pants.
Bloody Knife
-Sharp. Reroll up to two failed dice on your first throw.
You approach the girl, noting that her clothes are being cleaned off by the rain. Standing in a growing pool of bloody water, she notices you as you open the door and step out into the rain.
What will you say?
Wooden Rod
-Quick Weapon. Always strikes first.
(Sorry for skipping again. I want to stick to the one-per-day schedule.)
Wunderkatze (Ryzard/Mitsuru) (0Df 7Pw 4Pc 5Wt)"I don't think Japan would be in the position we are now," he says starkly, "Not without the allies, I mean."
Finding no excuse to talk further, the two of you head to the Rumie Murakami Polytechnic Library. The glass facade of the building spills golden light out into the driveway. Automobiles are parked in neat columns, and for some reason people are driving on the left side of the road.
Inside, rows of books loom over the heads of studious teenagers who've taken the time to augment their studies with the knowledge of past ages.
Inside, you're greeted by a strange and uncanny new face, a woman who seems to always stare at your face and doesn't respond to the subtle visual cues that tell other people you aren't interested.
"Welcome to the Rumie Murakami Library! This building was created to honor the famed scientist Rumie Murakami, who invented the first--"
"Quite annoying aren't they?" umbrella kid injects mid-sentence.
"--artificial--" the woman begins anew, only to be interrupted once more.
"Well, if you're a fan of history, they've got a pretty comprehensive selection here in the basement. Especially military studies. Journals, case studies, you know."

Heading back up the stairs and remaining under the stair entrance shelter, you remain dry whilst examining the skyline.
The castles of this day and age are far advanced with respect to what you know. They are covered in glowing arrowslits, and this battlement you stand upon is large enough to hold a hundred archers. Most of these towers you see, however, are poorly manned. Perhaps these are times of peace and prosperity in no need of a knight.
You spot no river nor coastline. It is a sprawling sea of castles as far as the eye can see.
Over in the distance you see a huge mountain, a mere shadow of its true glory when obscured by the mist of rain. But its surface is lit by torchlight of many colors which pierce the darkness.
You do not know of any city this close to a mountain. But perhaps they have built new cities in this time. Perhaps your body was carried to one of them.
Down in the floors below, you hear footsteps. A party of perhaps three, perhaps five--it's hard to tell the difference. They seem to be in a hurry, to be heard through the stone walls, and must be rushing up the stairs as their sounds are getting closer.
Metal with grip
-Weighty. Roll another die forthwith if you score any number of successes.
