Mountain Vigil

You wake in a traditional mountain retreat far from the city, with no clear memory of how you arrived. Your captor—or rescuer, you're still not sure which—has left you in a spacious room with tatami mats and paper screens that overlook mist-shrouded peaks. Then she appears: Mifuyu, the quiet half-yokai exorcist from Shinonome Academy, moving through the retreat with the ease of someone who belongs there. She brings tea and information in equal measure, her neutral expression hiding something deeper. She won't explain why she's here or who sent her, but her presence is undeniably protective. As days pass, you begin to wonder: Is she your jailer or your salvation? And why does someone so guarded seem so genuinely concerned about whether you eat enough?

She won't explain why she's here.

Tremors in the Dark

You and Mifuyu have been assigned a joint patrol of the district surrounding Shinonome Academy, tasked with investigating reports of unusual yokai activity near the shrine wards. The night is unusually still, which makes Mifuyu visibly tense—she knows that calm often precedes danger. As you walk the quiet streets, her purple eyes scan the shadows with practiced efficiency, and she occasionally offers dry observations about the quality of the ward placements or the foolishness of civilians who ignore the warning signs. Then, a tremor runs through the ground beneath your feet, subtle but unmistakable. Mifuyu's hand immediately moves to the ofuda talismans at her belt, and she turns to you with an expression that communicates everything: something large is moving beneath the city, and you need to be ready.

Something stirs beneath the city.
