Note: please be as cryptic as possible regarding any specific actions your character takes when discussing them in the game channel to avoid influencing everyone else!
[The moment you step through the door, a bright flash of light blinds you as your consciousness fades away…
When you wake up, you find yourself lying on the grass, next to what appears to be a river. You can hear birds, the rustling of leaves, the water… Everything is beautiful. If it wasn’t as cold as it is, this place might as well be paradise.
Unless you were already wearing one before, you are now wearing a nice Taisho-colored scarf! There is also a paper bag next to you… with three (3) meat buns inside. But due to the current weather, they're not warm anymore. Sorry...]
[Most of the birds are mingling around a big tree, and Okami can hear baby birds chirping hungrily-- some other birds seem to be flying uphill. If Okami looks at the ground, he may be able to notice that the grass seems... shorter? Weaker? It looks like someone always takes this path to the river, and the grass knows it. It leads downhill.]
[Bird mom is not pleased! She's ready to attack. The birds are still hungry, and this only fuels her resolve! Maybe if you go away, she'll also respect your space...]
[Bird mom is WARY OF YOU, but once you've taken a few steps away from the tree, you'll hear the baby birds going wild, so she must not have been too proud. How can such small bodies make so much noise?...
The water is crystalline! You can see some fish there, too.]
[The fish seem to be living their best life, and don't seem to fear you. Or anything. They jump out and dive back into the water, and if you know about fish and you realize these are not freshwater fish, well... They don't know that! Who's going to tell them? They're just doing their own thing in this extremely chilly water.
In fact, now that he's close, Okami may be able to notice some bits of ice floating downstream. How is that possible? Who knows?]
[I SHOULD HAVE MOVED YOU HERE FROM THE DRAGON PIC COMMENT
Anyway, if you mean that you're just going to look at them from here, then OKAY, with your magical were eyes you can see... many weapons of many types! Swords, maces, axes, greatswords, daggers... Nothing for long-range combat, apparently. There's also coin, and... a basket... books... a Taisho hat... what seems to be a sketched drawing you may also recognize... more paintings that may seem like Fox's work... pocky... instant pasta...]
[This goblin didn't expect Okami to do that, so he gets a head start!
Okami manages not to slip on the ice and fall on his way down the tunnel by sheer force of will! The goblin isn't so lucky, and falls down with an undignified yelp.
. . . Does Okami go on, or does he use this chance to attack?]
Okami attacks, and the goblin cries out, once again confused by this turn of events-- wasn't he running away?!
This goblin is not afraid of pain, even if it's clearly at a disadvantage and bleeding. It tries to get back on its feet to have a decent chance to strike back, but the ice is too slippery and fails...
So it stays there, looking as menacing as it can, with its dagger ready!
[ Watching the goblin fall twice kind of takes away any of the thrill Okami might have gotten from remaining in the fray. He opts to takes his advantage and continue quickly down the tunnel, leaving the goblin to its slippery devices ]
[The tunnel is long and cold, but Okami walks fast-- and when he finally reaches the light at the end of it, the world on the other side of the cave looks as if there were holes in the very fabric of its reality.
Does this sound familiar? Well, it should! This cave tunnel leads outside of Shinjuku Station, and Okami is now looking at Imeeji as was right before the trial. However, he is not flickering, or in pain, or even in monochrome. The rest of the world is.
