He has a stall set up in the market street for locating things. Feel free to thread it out with an inbox action thread or handwave it!

Okay. If you get tired of tapping keys, the offer's still open.
Maybe it's a prophetic dream. But there's just as many cats. They won't let the birds take over.

[overstrain]

maybe it'll be like a battle between cats and birds!! though i wouldnt want to be in the way of that. sounds dangerous for everyone

oh yeah kido i found out something weird. theres a family in the occult shop. an old couple and their grandson?? pinpointing doesnt seem to fully work on them.......... like im getting some kind of interference

[reveilation]

The cats will win.
Is it weird for a family-run shop? Lots of shops around town are like that, and your ability isn't restored completely yet either, right? It's not the first time you weren't able to figure something out.

[overstrain]

but it worked on everyone else?! i even tried it multiple times but i cant get through! its weird!! its not like theres nothing to find out either because i can tell when im getting interference or if theres just simply nothing to find out

(´；д；`)

[reveilation]

Have you been doing that on everybody you meet? Stop it.

[ That's so shady?? Terry????? ]

[overstrain]

NO ITS NOT LIKE THAT

IT WAS JUST GENERIC STUFF LIKE HOW OLD THEY WERE

I DONT PRY SECRETS OUT OF EVERYONE I DONT KNOW

WHY WOULD I CARE ABOUT THOSE

[reveilation]

I don't know. Why would you stick your nose into people's business, write down their relationship troubles, and leave it out for the world to see? You tell me, Terrence.

[overstrain]

i crumpled that paper and was gonna throw it away................ i wasnt the one who dug it back out kido

and that was just testing how far i could go! i dont care what they do with whatever situation theyre in

[reveilation]

Yeah, it's none of your business, so keep it to yourself next time instead of leaving hard evidence.
Anyways, if it's generic stuff like ages, isn't it better to just ask? People will tell you things without you probing around in secret.

[overstrain]

thats not the point kido........... i was trying to see if my powers still worked. asking them that defeats the purpose

i couldnt get anything on that fortune telling person and now the occult shop family... its so weird. it used to work all the time and the only time i had interference was with jace and now too many things are getting in the way it suuuuucks

[reveilation]

Well, the fortune teller was obviously shady, and the shop owners have been buying the monster junk, right? No normal person would pay for teeth and smelly scrolls, so it's not surprising they're weird. The same thing happened with the Tengu leader, didn't it? Was it the same for Jace?

[overstrain]

he was 100% human and not strange though






okay maybe hes a little weird but not THAT kind of weird. i could find his location but nothing else...

[reveilation]

How do you know for sure he's not THAT kind of weird?

[overstrain]

well... he doesnt have an identifier so hes not a demigod at least. he also ages like a human!

[reveilation]

Is that your only criteria for not weird...?

[overstrain]

it rules out most nonhuman people back there at least...

and idk. just a feeling i get that jace is 100% human. he told me that too so i trust him

[reveilation]

So you don't know for sure. I bet if you ask the shopkeepers, they'll also say that they're human and have birthdays and the such... Neechan's 100% human too, and you couldn't find anything about her. Maybe it'll come back to you.

[overstrain]

i hate how its becoming unreliable......... Q_Q its like being told that youve been been breathing the wrong way this entire time

[reveilation]

Most people do breathe incorrectly.
But it's reliable when it does work, right? So it's still useful in that sense. I was actually hoping you could check some things for me with it.

[overstrain]

[ omg kido... he'd be fussing over that but. next topic ]

what did you want me to check out?

[reveilation]

[ Good. Being aware of your breathing is the first step to doing it correctly. ]

The ofuda door at the castle, and the book in the train. Those two guys aren't there right now. It would be a good chance to look around.

[overstrain]

ofuda door? book in the train??

what??

[ He's been to the castle so many times this past week, but he never took notice of the door lmao ]

[reveilation]

There's an ofuda door in the castle and a book in the train. Both are unguarded because the two guys living there are on vacation.

[ It's already so specific, how is she supposed to explain it any more than that? ]

Does it not work if you can't imagine it? Do you need to see it in person?

[overstrain]

i mean like... for people, they have an identity i can search for even if i've never seen them before, but you said book in the train. like... what book? maybe they keep multiple books in the train? idk which book youre talking about

and whats an ofuda

[reveilation]

The book Souji carries around sometimes. The very thick one.
An ofuda is an amulet like the ones we have, except that in place of our name, it's the name of a god. Traditionally, the ofuda is supposed to be returned to its shrine at the end of the year after providing protection, but there was a space in the castle which works well enough, I suppose. Although this god was doing the opposite of protection...
