"Are you sure you have maintained your mental faculties in your purgatory?" Shio asked in response to the old woman before waving the question of, seemingly because it might be considered rude, although Shio was not waving for that reason. "Rather, more specifically, are you sure that I will find him in the desert? I am required to release both of you from this state, but locating a singular spirit can be quite challenging, especially given the vast, nonspecific area you have provided."

"While also unorthodox, if you can provide me with more specific details on locating your son, I can release you from your state second. Father and mother would likely not approve of this, but there is potential for self-release if I do it that way - the tomes reference such thing. I'd be interested in experiencing that firsthand."

Shio was not pleased with having to go to the desert. Mentally, she thought about how much she disliked the desert before quickly pulling out that book and scribbling in 'disliking something consciously' into her book. She had generally approached all things, including terrain with a general air of apathy. To consciously dislike it was quite a different experience for her.

"I would like to mention that I have consciously made the effort to dislike the desert, although I suspect I didn't like it subconsciously as well," Shio added, hoping the woman might be moved to assist her in her task given that it would take Shio to a place that she was not keen on going. "I also think I am not fond of lasers as well, as they are quite dangerous when in the hands of assassins." She gave a firm nod at the second statement, given the likely agreement of the old woman, as she had brought up the subject matter of lasers in the conversation herself. Shio had heard that people occasionally bonded over their mutual dislike for things and that bond could prove useful in completing her task and releasing both this woman and her son Kim from their binds in the mortal world - a place they should not be.

All these RPGs getting canned right out of the gate (from what I'm seeing) is making me feel really unsure of staying on RPG.


Some GMs just aren't that good at making sure the project goes through.

You'd be more than welcome on my thread. We have been running it off and on for 8 years and are just at a new reboot in it (it is an open world fantasy thread with a creature capture element).

I'm on my way out of here for many reasons, just gotta make a seamless transition.Also, the lack of acknowledgement of player characters by other player characters in a story is to damn high. What's the point of roleplaying if nobody reacts to what your character does? Pff.


I get the frustration, as it has happened to me before too. But is very much the groups you choose to participate with. As I did with Psyga, you'd be more than welcome. I spend a good amount of effort making sure my players are engaged and do have something to do (and are truly an impactful part of the story).

"I could trade you the key I used for the door, which would seem prudent given a stranger has a key to your place," Shio responded, holding up the key in offer. She wasn't used to bartering with people, so this was definitely something to write down in the experience book, especially given the second request of the woman.

"i don't know who Kim is or how I could find him, but if you could direct me I will see if I can locate him," Shio added. "Also, given the timeline, you'd be a ghost. Are you aware that you are a ghost or currently possessed by one? I am an exorcist and can provide my services."

Shio was now feeling what she suspected was excitement. This was now treading on her territory. Although, it was unique given that the woman was in her human form as a ghost, which was quite unusual. That usually invoked powerful magic long lost to their world. It could pose a challenge to her skills. She had spent the trip up to Ward reviewing Gishiki material in order to better deal with events like Toran where she had felt a bit useless, it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility that this would help her in dealing with this woman.

Shio was ready to pull out one of her books on Gishiki and start reading through it to try to solve the situation.

Shio unlocked the door with little issue, finally utilizing the key she had been given. It was peculiar setup to an entry way that Shio could approve of, given that it was rather perplexing. It would likely deter attackers with lasers. She would have to consider putting in doors like this into her home to prevent these such assassins.

"Hello, I am Shio of the Enyo family. I was given this address and a key from a book I read," she stated, "Is this a treasure hunt?" She slid her book out of her chest pocket, preparing to write down 'treasure hunt' into the book, "I need to know so I can write this down in my book of experiences."

Shio was completely oblivious to how odd her reply was. However, she had completed the core tenants of her training. Introduce yourself, followed by an explanation of why you were there if applicable. Then, she knew she was to ask any clarifying questions before explaining why she was asking them. It was only 'proper', even if likely most of the information was entirely unnecessary to the situation. Shio had already deemed the woman a non-threat, and while still on her guard, had moved her left hand an inch extra away from her left hip which had her belt knife. Her Kohitsuji joined her in a brief flash of light as well, allowing Shio to further 'relax'.

I can't be a superheroaboo, I don't think America and American culture is the greatest in the world because of superheroes. Also I have been a part of many non superhero rps and have a lot of fun, hell I'm about to join a street fighter rp when I get the chance to. Sorry but that claim doesn't count, also I wasn't calling anyone a weeaboo I was just clarifying that the term was created for good reasons.There's nothing wrong with being defensive about what you like, I have to do it all the time as a superman fan. And I'll admit I'm a bit of a hater because of my bad experiences and I'm not ashamed of it.I'm sorry if my ranting has upset you


The extremism of your views is just as bad as the supposed group you claim to dislike. You are also not on the defensive. You've been the one ranting and leading a campaign against anything anime.

"I have a key," Shio responded, holding up the key she had been given before launching into a longer explanation, "I was given this address and key in a book I found in a library in Toran. I assumed it was directing me to this shop, however I am not certain what this is for."

She was unsure what she was supposed to do in response to this. She hadn't been given a password from the initial material, which could make this challenge extremely problematic. Once again, she was questioning the original material that had directed her here. Either the original author had failed to provide information or there was something the merited greater scrutiny for her. She tried to find the excitement in this, as she suspected she should, but was unsure if she was successful. She had been told that excitement involved an increased heart rate and an intangible sense of looking forward to something. Her heart was doing its duty, as per her direction, but the latter was proving more challenging.
Shio

Shio knocked lightly on the door, noting the name of the establishment. She hadn't heard of the shop before, but it looks like an older establishment. It seemed to have the strange touch of nostalgia though. Upon trying the shop door, she found it locked. It was surprising to her that the business would not have its doors opened. According to what she knew, the next step was to knock on the door. Other people may have been considering a more aggressive approach, but Shio felt no need to exert force onto the situation that didn't require it. That would be a waste of energy.

Shio's knock was solid, but without being intentionally obnoxious like some people when they were absolutely desperate to be heard. Politely, she'd wait at the door for a response before pondering other options for entering the establishment. She was unsure whether this was supposed to be a part of the treasure hunt. She suspected it wasn't completely out of the ordinary to put significant roadblocks in the way to make the treasure hunt more challenging. Given that there was no obvious slot for the key, she was unsure of how the key fit into this equation at all, but for now she kept it firmly in her grasp.

She did question whether all treasure hunts lacked such specifics. She knew they were supposed to be challenges of the mind and body, but felt that such directions could have included more clarity on what to do. It seems that such details were important should you want someone to actually be successful at completing the hunt. With just the address, a key, and a locked door, she was unsure of what she would do if there was no response.
Shio

Shio did not miss the details in the smithing tome. She had mulled a bit over what to do with the book, having noticed the extra weight and shaping. She was not keen on damaging library property, but it seem in this instance there was no choice. She had pondered consulting Kasumi on the morality of what she was doing, but decided she already knew the answer Kasumi would give and what she needed to do anyway. Taking her belt knife, she ran it along the top of the binding of the closed book, creating a small slit for the key to slide out from as she shook it. Soon she was rewarded with a key in her hand, as well as the address the book had provided.

Without hesitation, Shio quickly boarded the next train to Ward. She wanted to find out more about where this book was leading her. While she did conclude it could be a trap, completely with threatening lasers, she knew that if she didn't explore this further she would regret not having the experience to write into her booklet. She had never gone on a treasure hunt as a child and she was quite certain this would classify as one. So far she had a key and an address with very little else to work off of. Clearly it was intended that someone find these things, as well as go to the address with the key, but after that, she wasn't sure of what she should do.

The train to Ward was non-eventful, as was the walk from the station to the address. Shio was quite familiar with Ward, having stopped off many times here on her way to the Western cities. She had even promised to treat herself with some of that ice cream she had tried last time she passed through, icecream being an experience she had written in last visit. However, this time she was going to write it in again under the experience of 'rewarding oneself'. she suspected that she would likely be keen on continuing to do this.
