Substory # 3 – It’s very time consuming
[Soo Won was wandering around the city, visiting the locals he had befriended for any interesting rumors. The most popular one was about a cursed watch that brought misfortune. A year ago Soo Won might have dismissed it as superstition but his time in Hakagemachi had opened his eyes. Not to mention it could be fun tracking it down.
Soo Won followed the clues to a store with a broken window. The owner wasn’t around so Soo Won just looked around, his attention turned to the broken window as he mused out loud.]
Well, the rumor about misfortune seems to be true.
[It looked like the store had been robbed. The quiet notes of a gottan resonated in the minds of anyone nearby as Miyako answered Soo Won by lazily plucking her strings with little interest. She was bored. Magic may feel new and fascinating to Soo Won but haunted items were normal to her. Her absentminded notes suddenly changed with a startled and angry twang when she saw a damaged shamisen through the broken window. How dare they!]
Substory # 4 – It’s in the stars
[Soo Won was relieved everything was returning back to normal and a little competition between the factions was a nice change of pace from the turf war. Soo Won calculated the best places that would be overlooked by the over-eager participants and began his search. Simple enough, except the more stardust he gathered, the more unhappy he felt with his secret search. True it was efficient, but it wasn’t as satisfying on his own. Hak and Yona’s faces came to mind but he knew those days were long gone.
Miyako didn’t share Soo Won’s melancholy thoughts at all. The happy music that danced through the minds of the people nearby sounded drunk as her notes lazily slid over the strings in a chipper melody. Soo Won managed a weak smile. He was glad Miyako was enjoying herself. His lingering sad thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of someone else. Soo Won had never been happier to have someone figure out his strategy and Miyako mirrored his radiant smile with a dramatic flourish of bright notes.]
Are you looking for stardust as well?
Musician in Red (Tamamo territory)
[Perhaps you have heard the rumor of the musician in red. The mysterious masked musician with long black hair, wearing a red kimono who vanishes after every performance. She performed in a different place every other night, always within Tamamo territory. Tonight she was playing in a cabaret club.
The soft lighting of the stage illuminated the broken mask that covered most of her face as her fingers gracefully danced over the shamisen in a traditional melody. A spiderweb design branched over the ghostly white porcelain, leading to an orange butterfly that was entangled in the webs over the intact left eyehole. The brightly colored butterfly cleverly drew attention away from the sea green eye that peeked out of the broken right side of the mask. True to her reputation, after a few songs she silently left the stage and quickly vanished backstage.
Miyako quietly left the building, a small bag with her shamisen slung over her shoulder as she ducked into the alley she and Soo Won had chosen for her escape route the night before. She stayed still, listening for any footsteps among the various sounds of the city’s nightlife.]

no subject
Very well, then. We'll stick to our own paths for the time being.
[ Unless they should coincide for some reason, but she's fine with this arrangement. ]
My name is Mona. A pleasure, Soo Won, but I must ask – where is that music coming from?
sorry I'm so late
That's Yin. She's a yokai who lives inside me. It's a long story.
[Soo Won finished with a quiet chuckle. His relationship with Miyako, although precious, was rather complicated.
Hmph, Miyako could say the same about her foolish partner. She introduced herself with an impressive flourish of notes. Soo Won's mouth quirked up in amusement at Miyako showing off.]
all good <3
[ That doesn't sound normal??? At least, she doesn't think so. Then again, nothing about this place is normal, but still. She raises an eyebrow at the next flourish and squints a little. Her expression isn't one of judgment; rather, it's curious, trying to figure out how such a thing is possible.
Whatever concern she had about the Stardust has been replaced with some semblance of wonder, now. ]
She lives within you, and makes music. I've never seen something like this before! Is this something that happened to you when you arrived here?
the snail returns
It happened in the last world I was in. This isn't the first time I've ended up in a different place. The last place was falling apart and disconnected from time. The youkai who lived there were slowly losing themselves so they, well, possessed the people who were brought to their world, in order to survive.
[Soo Won's tone was light as he casually admitted to being possessed. He may not like how they met but Miyako was very important to him now and he was glad she survived.
Miyako interrupted with a quiet note, almost as if she was worried she had misheard him. What? No subtle jab about the possession? He had been furious at first and even as they got closer he still refused to let it go and would hint at how much it bothered him that he wasn't given a choice every time the possession was brought up. Did Soo Won hit his head recently?]
