[ nice, full charge. he'll turn it off and set his aside in his pocket, but the other old man left without his sir? anyways, can Dokja go ahead and just take the map with them? this place is abandoned anyways, nobody else needs this smh.
that's a lot of fog though. however, he can't see anything else than that from his own viewpoint so he'll go and wander in the direction that jiji went. abandoned post office huh, what can go wrong? PAPER CUTS? ]
Mikazuki Munechika. [ first a peek, just to check-in with the sword man. ] Find anything?
mikazuki will be opening the packages - tho he will manage the bare minimum decency and say:] Please excuse us - if we might return these to their rightful owner, we will.
[in case any ghosts are listening…
anyway what’s inside
at that moment he calls back to kdj]
Some packages… I believe there is a merchant’s store nearby.
[ Nothing but fog............... as opposed to nothing but net. Aikawa will turn back around then, pointing towards the convenience store yeah the same one Mikazuki is talking about. ]
It's a convenience store. Probably. Kinda ratty, but maybe there's extra stuff in there if we gotta go hiking.
[ Also before Dokja maybe-takes the map, he will also have a looksy at this so he can read the fine print. ]
'Cause based on that, I think we gotta head over to that tower -- looks like a radio tower to me.
[ He points in a direction. Idk if these two can see it or if it's just him I guess you will just have to trust him. ]
[it is possible they see the tip of the tower but they will have to walk toward it, yeah. at least on the map they can see where it is in relation to things.
kim dokja can take the map! granted, it tears a little since he has to pull it from the bulletin board, but there is a map now.
inside the post office, jiji can start being nosy and looking through a few packages. he will open the first and find a fashionable green hat. another box reveals a beautiful set of paints. a third box reveals a black choker with a silver ring dangling from it!
the fourth box begins to move on its own. it just. starts wandering away. goodbye?]
[ aw ye, their map now. this is just so they have a better idea when they're on the path. the Bigger Picture. don't worry, he'll hand it over if someone wants to look at it so he looks to where Aikawa points. ]
It's the only thing we've got to work with for now. Should check out the convenience store in the meantime.
[ jiji seems to have whatever is going on in there covered, and did suggest the store so. ]
Call out if you need anything.
[ Dokja will wander towards the convenience store now. what's it looking like? assuming there's anything left cause hmm, how long exactly has this place been abandoned... anything worth of noting? MAYBE A LIGHTER? ]
jiji will look at the rest of these items! he will wear the green hat and let it be lop-sided on his head but before that he’ll look at all the different items and see if there are any tags and branding, to see if they’re western or eastern… where is Lotus located]
[ Our desperate quest to avoid the unga bunga fire struggle continues…. Among other things, since a box starts? Wandering out of the post office??? And then Jiji’s polite request to grab it.
[why are you so obsessed with this lighter!! there doesn't seem to be, but there are a few half-empty boxes of matches in the convenience store. likewise, there are things such as beach towels, umbrellas, non-perishable food items, other maps of the island that you really could have taken instead of stealing the one from the board, charcoal, lighter fluid, etc.
jiji now has a very nice hat that is probably not being worn correctly. some of the tags are still visible, which means that jiji will see the boxes have names starting with B and one box has a name ending in ng. looking at lotus's branding though, the return address appears to be western stylization.
the box aikawa is chasing doesn't have a label, but it's nyoomin. and then it clucks loudly in alarm as footsteps grow closer, nyooming away even faster.
[ hey, matches is just as good as a lighter. as long as there are some means of being able to start a fire on the chance they need one. Dokja will pocket a few of those matchboxes, thank you. also ignores the other maps he has one already he's good- he does not perceive you.
hmm, he'll take the lighter fluid too. are there any bags to put some of these items in? otherwise he'll just. set a beach towel down and pile some items in like non-perishable food items and anything else useful before picking it up.
he's maybe done here... gives one last glance around, but things seem lively outside? ]
Everyone doing alright? [ just calls out just in case. ]
regardless mikazuki will continue not wearing this hat correctly, gently gathering all the items to continue to hold them in his burlap sack/sleeves.
before he goes to help aikawa he will pick up some of the mail and peer at the addressees... and he will also open those. are there any saucy letters.]
[ I make up for my earlier crimes by preparing tag so it just goes up instantly the moment Dana posts. Which is to say he is having a standoff with this box, treating it like it’s a wild animal suddenly. ]
Pspspsps...
[ Producing... a small candy from his pocket and waving it at this cardboard box... pspsps...??? ]
[kdj may have a single totebag for his loot. i have decided i am done spelling out his name now and you will have to deal. anyway, that happens, so he has his loot and he can begin wandering back.
meanwhile over in whatever the hell is going on here...waving the candy at a box does not work because the box does not have eyes. aikawa now looks rather silly waving candy at a box as it runs around in the post office and clucks in its distress.
jiji can have all of these items because you are all very insistent on stealing other people's things. the addresses appear to be smeared and some are torn in places, but he can open a letter!
the first bits of it are a little hard to make out, but he will see part of it.
Talked to them the other day. "You will suffer," they said. And I was like "okay, what else is new?" Going to see what else I can find. Back soon. Love you.
anyway this is all going into jiji's totebag and once he's done actually going through people's personal belongings, he will lift his sword from his side and
just use the sheathed end of it to lightly scoop the box up...ward...
[ Please, he wants to personally avoid the suffering. He's just walking back over here after the box into the post-office in the midst of his Chickenquest (Block O'Chicken Quest). ]
Did you both get something useful?
[ Please just bonk him with a chicken in a box or something. ]
[mikazuki will make a gesture to his stylish green hat - and then get the rest of the items out of his rucksack: paint and a choker with a silver ring on it.
though.]
... and that is Bob-chan-san.
[gesturing toward aikawa and their chicken]
So I believe I am expected to believe that Tsurumaru Kuninaga is somehow involved in all this... in case either of you also recognize these items. [a beat] We ought take care of each of them as we proceed...
[tsuru will shank every person here if something happens to his chicken if this is real]
[ Well. This may as well happen. Aikawa is wearing a gas mask and cap combo so it’s not like he’s gonna get scratched in the face but one of them chicken feets bonks him anyway and his hat almost falls off his head. But now he has a chicken sandwiched between his big ol’ hands. ]
And I have a chicken.
[ Sure. ]
I don't recognise either of those items though, so I dunno.
[ Actually edits this to say he probably does recognise one of those items but it doesn't click immediately because... why the hell is it here he doesn't know yet. Tucks this chicken under his arm Like The Football. ]
But I guess we should just... keep whatever we can get, in case this is some spooky-ass maze island.
[ Dokja spends a moment looking at the items, before eventually shaking his head. ]
Nothing looks familiar to me, as far as I can tell.
[ maybe the paint.... but, it probably isn't it as far as Dokja thinks. also my brain fizzing out but kdj has a reason if it doesn't click on the chance i just don't realize it. a glance to the chicken, then back to the rest of the town. ]
Think we found plenty, did we want to head for the radio tower as Aikawa mentioned earlier?
[ unless there's something else here other than the post office, convenience store but. they have a good amount of loot that should hopefully help on the road ahead. maybe. ]
Hmm... We may - but I would also like to request the - ah, radio...? I believe that the staff normally utilize them to communicate during our idol shows...
[and he will just hold his hand out for his, assuming that someone else picked it up for him, like an asshole.
and then he will set it to station 102.3 listed on the map in order to get the guided tour information! he will do that as he casually begins to walk out of the store so that they're not just loitering and i can give ty a chance to tell us Things
if there is something else to be forgotten, someone not jiji will have to deal with it]
I officially have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway, if you want me to carry some shit, give it here, just don't make me carry everything 'cause I'm not a pack mule.
[ Though he will take the choker anyway just in case. Sure, in the interest of convenience, Aikawa will have picked up a second radio to hand over to his new gramps.
Back to the fork in the road from earlier then, perhaps? Up the stairs? ]
[with their loot and now with at least one of the radios tuned to 102.3, the three of them will begin wandering out of the post office and hear the crackle of the radio.]
”The island is famously sought out by those seeking a higher purpose, and those who would prefer to relax in pleasure and luxury. Famously named after the lotus flower, Lotus Island calls to those who wish to fix their past and secure their future.”
[the radio glitches, wavering as they walk toward the stairs before the signal continues.]
”The art of regret is a time-honored tradition. You will be a part of that heritage, dear listener. Do not resist, it will be over soon. Your participation will ensure clear communication with Biyoo, Aruji, and Nikaido.
Be sure to tune in for more information.”
[there are the stairs. they can take those! they seem to lead up into the cliffsides but it's difficult to see what might beyond the rocks. or they can attempt to get to the radio tower traveling up a different path onward.]
[ It's softly mumbled, like an afterthought, as they make their way while listening.
the art of regret... what is that supposed to mean? Dokja looks to contemplate, before he registers what's now ahead of them. this rocky... path or a different one ahead? maybe?? ]
[his voice sounds a little wry, a little amused - but it's not like he's about to explain the joke to anyone, unfortunately. mikazuki will wander along.]
Tell me - I do not completely grasp the technology at hand. Would reaching the radio tower allow us to know where the origin of the message is coming from?
[and is there a button on the radio? jiji will look at his and see if it's possible to send communication back. he is mistaking the radio for a walkie talkie, i'm going to be honest]
