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.

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

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.

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

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?

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...

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

what did you want me to check out?

[ 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.

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 ]

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?

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

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...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm okay hold on im not getting anything with pinpointing but ill go check it out myself real quick gimme an hour

[ The waiting game begins... ]

[ It's a little over an hour, but. yeah. ]

okay i found the ofuda door but i couldnt find anything weird about it. i also looked through the book and it has everyone's info about their persona! it was like looking at a book form at what i could find out by pinpointing. it listed the persona info, the person who it belongs to, and their... arcana? but mine matched with the thing written on my charm so i guess it has something to do with that

those two are super overpowered

[ He thinks back on when Minato would be able to beat him in one second, and... well... he doesn't doubt it now. haha........... ]

The ofuda door itself is weird, though? Are you looking at the right thing?
As for the book... I thought it would be something more than that, if he keeps reading it after all this time. I guess it makes sense, like having a roster of everybody here if they're supposed to be guiding us.

Do you trust them?

[ Kido doesn't really. Minato could drop an atomic bomb on Hirajiro with his OP Persona and she wouldn't be surprised. ]

i think so? its the stone door with the three slots right? i mean... im still at the castle but i had to get out of the velvet room for phone signal so i can take a look at it again if you want me to, but i really cant find anything weird about it and pinpointing isn't helping me either

and um............. yeah i guess i do

[ He doesn't really think highly of the trust business, so he doesn't care whether he trusts them or not either way.

Maybe a different question would be better, lol. ]

No, it's definitely weird. Same with the castle that got fixed up. But if you can't find anything else about them, that's fine too.

Your extended ellipses aren't convincing.

yeah i cant seem to find anything else about the castle either. the materials seem to be pretty normal though

maybe its because i extracted info from them but i can trust them to be guides
