Having only been reclaimed by heroes one year past, the city still bears many marks of the destructive powers that had been displayed here. Construction crews work tirelessly to remove rubble and replace infrastructure, but with steep mountains on one side and a rough ocean on the other side, it's been difficult to transport larger materials, slowing down reconstruction processes. However, the residents themselves are accustomed to hardship and lacking supplies, taking the nonchalant attitude of 'it can't be helped'. Most houses have a garden in the yard, while bikes attached to carts serve as a replacement for cars. Despite the destruction wrought upon the downtown district, Kirisama still retains its natural charm, and has a surprisingly robust indie music scene. [hider=Jigokuraku Academy] [img]https://i.imgur.com/1YL99t5.png[/img] Opened up recently, Jigokuraku Academy is nestled in the forest of one of the steeper mountains bordering Kirisama City. To reach civilization proper would require a daunting 524 descent down stone staircases, while the ascent is similarly brutal. There are no roads leading up to the Academy, and it's said that the Principal of the school had most building materials airlifted, before doing the construction herself, as if it was a massive IKEA project. Built around a small shrine, the Academy features three floors, but only the first floor, for the first years, is properly stocked. There is running water, electricity, gas, and plumbing, but due to its close proximity to nature, there are a variety of pests as well, from mice to cockroaches. Such dire circumstances can't even be compared to the state of the dorms in Jigokuraku, however, a bare, five-story concrete building with basic utilities such as water and electricity but no actual furniture. The Principal calls this set-up 'Spartan' and believes that her students should toughen up and renovate it to their own liking. Most other people think she's acting out on some deep psychological trauma though. [/hider] [hider=Shrines] [img]https://i.imgur.com/BnOYEqg.png[/img] No less than 14 different shrines can be found in the town of Kirisama, each tucked away from civilization yet frequently visited by those who wish to seek divine counsel, whether for love, studies, or life. Cared for by the shrine maidens of the Toujou family, it is often assumed that the offerings are taken as donations to the shrine themselves, but offerings of food left on a Monday will not be present when the shrine maiden comes on Friday. There is a central shrine of sorts, set halfway up one of Kirisama's mountains. It is this shrine that people go to for major festivals and events, such as New Years Celebrations. Most of the time though, it is the loneliest shrine, its paper lanterns ceaselessly burning through the night.

A 24/7 convenience store that's pretty much everywhere else in Japan as well, the Lawson at Kirisama is a relatively new branch, having only opened a couple years back. Now, it's a relatively popular destination for students to get cheap junk food or work at minimum wage. Of course, there's been rumors that Lawson's competitor, Family Mart, has also been planning to expand into Kirisama... Also, all the female employees are cute, young girls, while all the male employees are balding, fat men. Wonder how that happened. [/hider] [hider=Boulangerie le Trefle] [img]https://i.imgur.com/lhkvM1z.png[/img] Translating into Clover Bakery if you used Google Translate, Boulangerie le Trefle is one of the few food trucks going about Kirisama, always ready to serve European pastries to those who are willing to pay the aureate price. Run by two friends (Sachi-chan and Ami-chan) who totally didn't drop out of high school, it's often set up nearby the ports, where the employees would then bring out a bunch of collapsible tables and chairs, creating a portable cafe of sorts. Sadly, their coffee sucks, but hey, what sort of Japanese person drinks coffee? It's all about tea, after all! No one has told them that the spelling on their truck is incorrect and lived to tell the tale. [/hider] [hider=Madeleine Courtyards] [img]https://i.imgur.com/7vhBVE8.png?1[/img] Named after some fancy French aristocrat that was apparently vital to Kirisama City's development in the 19th century, the history being the Madeleine Courtyards is all but lost now. Instead, the beautiful trees throughout the season and the naturally secluded nature of the Courtyards have made this particular spot an amazingly popular place for couples to hang out. There's even a rumor going on about how, if the fog rolls in while you're on your date, there's a definite 100% chance that the guy you're with is the one that's for you! With a hipster-y coffeehouse a block away and unique acoustics that seem to deflect the sounds of neighboring traffic, it certainly is on every date's checklist. There's another rumor, that guys who bring fog machines to falsely create the first rumor will be smote by a balding midget with Chinese buns. [/hider]
