WEEK 2

[akudamods]

Saturday passes uneventfully save a little rain. It's on Sunday that you get a little notification of probation for new areas: Neo-Nipponbashi and Chuo. It'd be possible to investigate, to check out some anime, or to worship the defunct Shinkansen. But maybe it's hard to get excited about any of that when Friday’s events suggest that you have simply been provided some additional photogenic places to commit murder. Are you going to bother either overseer after their participation in some mockery of justice? Troll the internet? Get a bat out of Hyper Zone and just take out your frustration on everything?

Those of you who entered the pods will experience fewer “painful bursts of color” as your body is unaffected below the knees, though the same amount of “slight teleportation” glitches. Those of you who abstained from the pods will continue to experience all of the above as well as electric shock sensations occasionally when touching metal objects.

((Internet investigations of any kind go here, and for all IRL areas, please use "investigate" in the subject line of your top-level comment, or link the thread to a moderator!))

[Zenos makes note of everything, but doesn't linger too long. He's eager to move into the next room after this story of death and rebirth...]

The Shinkansen brought food and technology into Kansai, as well as the wonderful art and culture of Kanto. The once-famous Koshien stadium was lost along with the rest of Nishinomiya, so they provided the concert dome in Chiyozaki to heal everyone’s spirits. Then, when the accursed Akudama began to plague the city, Kanto provided the means to suppress them and restored the peace and order. Gratitude to Kanto was so immense, a religion was formed, and their belief caused the Shinkansen to be reborn with a living soul as it served as the medium between Kansai and their new gods.

[To the left and right at the front of the room, naturally peripheral vision will more great things like the greatest recent singers and scientists... who were so much more empowered by Kanto's tunes and technology. From here, you can get back to the core of the museum.]

[Is that it?

Naturally, the atheistic garlean is NOT buying this poor end to the tale. It seems that if he wants more information about the previous Akudama and Executioners, he will have to venture on back to the HQ...]
