Final Investigation

[thecastle]

Unless you're outside the change in the environment is subtle, a spike of electricity in the air that lasts only for a moment. And if you're outside, well, it's hard to miss the blossoms of the sakura tree as they fall in a flurry. It's rather beautiful, if not somewhat disturbing; sometime in the past few hours, they've changed color from a cheerful pink to a blood red.

Regardless of whether you see that as an omen or not, you'll hear what comes next through your pendants:

Third floor, there is little time left.

The Teishu's words are clipped and urgent, so you probably shouldn't tarry.

What awaits you when you climb the stairs are three new corridors and one ornate, black, wooden door directly opposite the solar. There's a keyhole here so you don't need to worry about trying to force it down (and you still have that key don't you?) but it would be wise to explore the rest of rooms first.

Best to be prepared and all.

Explore?

[ A few of the books are just the normal history of Japan stuff that would take forever to read and are irrevelant. However, there's one book about the five swords of Japan under heaven and it's imperial swords -- a few names are highlighted, specifically Mikazuki Munechika, Juzumaru Tsunetsugu, and Tsurumaru Kuninaga.

Hmm...that seems probably notable. Though, there are a few books still left for him to look through. ]

[That does seem like important stuff to remember]

Hanyuu-chan, Zaberisk-san, there are names of swords here. These may be worth remembering.

[He recites the names of the swords. Better for three people to have the info than just him.

He puts the book aside, mulling if he should take it to the trial, and keeps checking the books]

[ There's another book about the process of how a Sage is picked out amongst the rest. There's a paragraph that reads, "Individuals with potential are located before being taken away from their family so the Time Government can properly influence and educate them on their duty to the land."

Hmm... strange. Well, and with that book-reading, there's just one final book for Kizakura to look through here. ]

[fedorascout]

[Now that's very important info. That's a book he'll definitely have to take with him.

So what's this final book?]

[ The last book of interest is a photo album of a certain someone's family. There's a young - looking mother and father for most of the pages. Though on the last page there's a photo of what appears to be a young girl and a young boy holding hands -- evidently brother and sister. The young girl and boy have peach-colored hair. Same for the mother. The father has brown hair. It looks like in every photo it’s been done during the afternoon, nearby a dilapidated-looking wooden house.

That's all that's going on here! o/ ]

[A photo album...Kizakura glances at the book about how the Sage is chosen, and decides to take the photo album as well. It should mean this is the Sage's former family, perhaps? It could be.

End of investigation for him!]

[ She will also take a look! ]

The Five Great Swords...? [ ... ] Ah, t-that's right, the Munechika blade is one of those!
