Being truly on my own is a bit of a weird feeling. It's never really happened.

Let it never be said that sometimes extreme brevity isn't the most appropriate post, though. Everything is a tool.

The swordsman could see where such a nail would be more likely to wound someone--particularly if it was slipped under a carpet or otherwise hidden. Unless an infiltrator was wearing oddly thick or reinforced footwear, then simply walking normally could cause crippling damage. Not that their thief had been particularly stymied by the apparent injury but the thought was there. Though... why? "Why would you own or set up something like this?"

Plus the black haired girl still seemed unable to remember her own trap-setting, maybe... "And is there someone else that could have placed the nail?"
By any chance (not sure if has been asked yet) but would it be possible to submit a Negari character? One of the more advanced ones. After all, from the sounds of it the Negari aren't exactly a unified force and a strong one that formed independent of whatever is pulling the strings seems possible.


It's been asked and the answer was no.
Ryuuko stood, taking in the maids' various responses--none of which approached something that could even approximate a useful answer. The black-haired one had been planning to set up nails... somehow. Setting up nails? What did she even mean by that? The blood on the one nail might suggest improvised caltrops but no thief would fall for that and still complete a heist; thieves hat had no awareness of their surroundings didn't tend to last long.

"There was indeed a theft, of a particular magic vase. The assailant tracked blood, stemming from this nail no less, all the way to the scene of the crime. Yet you claim to not remember setting it up? Setting it up how, at that?"
But Sakuya's a maid and going fast isn't the same as timestopping. And she's all about trickery, so... not similar.

You're thinking about the wrong Shiki. It's Ryougi Shiki that's relevant, not Nanaya Shiki. :p
<Snipped quote by Raineh Daze>

It's probably the knives.

Personally though, Noriko seems to be more of a Shiki to me, given the 'see weak points' thing going on.


Well, that's hardly unintentional.

And I thought the GM would murder me for it earlier, but here we go:

Why do people keep suggesting Sakuya's themes when they don't fit at all? >_>;
Ryuuko coughed politely as she drew closer to the maids, the trail that she was following ending at a conspicuous nail. For one, it was just there on the floor rather than in anywhere befitting a nail. It was even more inexcusable when one considered the state of the rest of the mansion; a misplaced nail should have been removed or restored to its proper position in minutes rather than unintentionally injuring a thief. Deliberate, then? The maid holding a nail encouraged a view such as that.

"I am Miura Ryuuko, here to investigate the recent theft. Could you please explain why it is that you are carrying a nail?" the girl asked, gesturing with one hand towards the bloodied nail for an indication of why she cared. Her other hand was careful not to stray far from the katana's handle: something about this family made the idea of rebellious servants seem quite likely.
The same as the day before and the day before that, but not the day prior as that had been a Sunday, Noriko found herself stopping into a convenience store on her way home. Though it was closer to the public high school than to her own, it lay on the way back to her current apartment and therefore made it an ideal stop for buying something to eat. After a few disastrous weeks of trying to prepare any food herself in her first year, Noriko had opted to just buy anything edible on her way home for the day.

She felt even more out of place if she came by at the right time to coincide with those leaving from the closer school. The close-fitting blazer favoured by her own school stood out next to the white sailor uniforms and all but drew attention to her attendance of the fancier institution. Noriko's persisting discomfort with western-styled attire only made it more uncomfortable. Still, doing something every day made it easy for her to ignore the feeling that someone was going to make a big deal out of it.

Today, there seemed to be a distinct lack of food available... so surely there would be more put on the shelves soon. Where were all the employees, though? There wasn't even anyone staffing the cash registers...
On the bendy bit.
Noriko explicitly isn't, at least. She attends the nearby fancy, exclusive school.
