caught in the spider's web
Who: The crew of the Koumyou.
Where: The island of Kumonosu.
When: 3rd May-10th May.
What: After a few days of peace, it becomes apparent that something's not quite right. The ruined mansion in this place almost seems to be calling people to it...
Warnings: Potentially disturbing topics and violence. Will add further warnings as they become necessary!
Style: As you wish.
Status: Closed, unless you happen to be in the area.
***
It's not noticable at first.
The locals, who show a remarkable sense of kindness and generosity to their visitors, have spoken of a curse and the importance of the many shrines dotted around the island on many occasions, but it's easy enough to dismiss that as mere legend. After all, Komonosu is very peaceful and every single one of its inhabitants will greet you with a smile.
Except, after a little while, one will notice that this isn't true. There are some residents who bear battle scars and a haunted look in their features, some who mumble and look afraid, and whispers that some of those all-important shrines have been damaged.
Then, perhaps, you begin to feel a call. That abandoned and ruined mansion, out in one of the forests... it's strange, but the compulsion to go there grows and grows in one's heart. Especially if you have known battle. What's going on? Perhaps the curse is real, but one won't find out without entering that dark and forboding place...

May 3rd; OPEN
It took some walking, and a detour to the smaller shrines, which a few were in a poor state and he didn't touch, before arriving at the mansion. From the outside, it looked like any other abandoned mansion but it seemed creepy enough that he wouldn't even bother to venture in. That is, not until he saw someone from their crew go in. He only saw a glimpse of similar clothing, but he was sure that whomever just closed the door behind them was from the Koumyou.
Why would they go in there?
Gakupo crossed his arms, pondering if he should go in after them while analyzing the mansion from outside.
