Who ⬤ Hizen, Skylark, and Kazuma What ⬤ Two cats and a bird When ⬤ August Where ⬤ Catchall for apartment shenanigans Content Warnings ⬤ N/A for now, general warning for drinking and violence because that's how Hizen be sometimes
Wouldn't call it common knowledge for everyone but wouldn't really call it much of a secret either if y'know what I mean.
(Maybe not everyone knows about it for one reason or another-- their age, their interests, the lands they're from and so on, but he feels like there are things that can still be spoken about freely enough to at least grasp some basics.)
There was a big festival when I got here. The kappa tribe made it a pain in the ass to get things done... they were messing with things underground. Kept it real secret 'til the night of the festival. When the big bird gave their speech there was an explosion from underground.
(He sort of waves one hand in the air, opening his palm to show something going off,)
A bunch of guys in modern armor and stuff came out. Shot the big bird dead and a bunch of other people. (INCLUDING HIZEN WHO GOT SHOT FOR A PLOT CLUE,) They had special weapons... bullets made from some special metal. They used the same metal to make the dagger last time things went to shit.
(The dagger the group used when they seized the Kaigo no Bou. )
The soldiers were working for the haniwa. (And here is where Hizen starts to get frustrated the more he talks because just remembering everything reminds him of how complicated and messy this whole thing is,) First the chicken, then the big guy... maybe it's the boss's turn now... I dunno.
[ ...Skylark was right, he shouldn't have said "exciting drama". Then again, in a city like this maybe he should have expected this nonsense? This does seem like somewhat more niche knowledge however, so it's not surprising that the Iron Bear name didn't ring a bell for Kazuma either. ]
Uh, is the last time things went to shit where all the...blood...came from?
[ The blood he saw almost damn well everywhere had to clean off arcade machines and the baths, ]
And...at the very least, it'd be weird to just put all down to just a coincidence.
(He sounds so tired. Is this really going to be their first time things get crazy? He hadn't even thought about that,)
Yeah... yeah. (Ugh,) A bunch of figures started showing up. Haniwa shaped. Had a lot of real bad energy. (That Hizen got the real heebie jeebies from considering his own nature as a spirit.) And there was some black market shit going on... also had a bunch of clay from the same place. The wastelands outside the city. (And he sort of waves his hand in the air a bit to show he means away) There was some of that special metal too. "Hihi'irokane."
Anyway, the big guy had his people collect 'em all in his fancy building and they just... went off at once. All of that bad energy spread over the city, started raining blood, people started seeing things... (His voice starts to trail. It was a difficult time for everyone, including him. He doesn't really want to dwell on personal parts,) The haniwa are related to the Haniyasu you guys've probably heard about. They're gods-- real old gods-- and they seem to got something against the city and the big guy but...
(Quietly, mumbling,)
Don't think everyone's telling everything they know and we know even less.
We're probably gonna start getting some answers but things're gonna go sideways again. Ya saw what happened tonight.
If ya ask me, it'd be weird if nothing was out there.
(He hasn't really thought much about it. He dislikes troublesome work if he can help it but Kazuma is right, it's come up quite a bit since he's been here.)
Can't imagine this city just being in the middle of nowhere. Places don't usually work like that...
[ Hm? Seems like Kazuma had already tried to do some investigation of his own. ]
To be fair, I'm not sure how many people were expecting a city in Hell, either. [ Which is to say, does Hell even follow the usual rules of how places work? ] The Haniyasu don't seem to be worshipped here, and even old gods will disappear eventually without prayer, so...it stands to reason that they're probably getting worship from somewhere. [ Out in the wastelands? ]

The wastelands?
[That's where the kidnappers ran off to, where Kazuma and Jon hadn't been able to follow them. Kazuma clenches a fist in impotent frustration.]
That place seems to come up a lot for nothing being out there.
