[Luckily Goro was able to find some clothing when he had first arrived, but it would probably be best to think about trying to find more. More specifically, warming clothing for the weather.]

Where would a guy go to find some more clothing? I've already checked the general store, but I was hoping to find something warmer if at all possible.

[At least something besides what he arrived in.]

Oh. I guess I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Goro Akechi. I used to be a detective back home, so if you need my services, feel free to contact me whenever.

Nearby The Invincible;

[Somewhat nearby The Invincible somewhere that's not directly in view, Akechi can be seen with his lantern sitting nearby. He hadn't really tried it immediately upon arriving, but he was wondering about his Personas. It looks like he was on a cell phone, but it was really hard to see in considering the light seems to stop working since coming here. He hadn't had much use for it now, but with the help of the lantern, he navigated the smart phone (that wasn't so smart anymore). More so out of curiosity that the MetaNav could possibly work. He really doubted the Metaverse existed here, but it was worth a shot. After a few tries and "Location not found", he gave up on it, shoving his phone in his pocket. It was likely going to be useless here, but he'd tested what he wanted from it.

That did leave another question for him though. Did his Personas work here if the Metaverse most likely didn't exist here? With the MetaNav being all but useless, his curiosity wasn't quite sated. So shortly after checking his phone, he took a moment to test a theory. If you're close enough nearby, you might notice a faint glow of a giant creature. It's not visable if you're far enough away due to the eternal darkness, but if you're close enough it'll be standing behind Akechi. You'll also probably notice that his appearance has become significantly more regal looking, complete with a long, red pointed mask on.

Glancing off to the side and then to his gloved hand...]

Huh... That's intriguing. So the Metaverse most likely doesn't exist here, but I can still use Robin Hood.

[He's not talking to anyone in particular. In fact, he probably doesn't even notice any onlookers nearby. Feel free to bug him.]

[justcawse]

That's fine.

[Grabbing his own lantern to follow inside.]

Anything on your end?

[survivaltricks]

I talked to the lighthouse keeper.

She's cute.

[. . . . . . . #priorities]

[justcawse]

..... That's helpful.

[Just that look. He's also spoken to Robin, but it was only about taking the torches and the firework show.]

I'm glad you were productive during your time here thus far.

[He knows that Akira more than likely knew more than that, but it won't stop him from sarcastically responding back.]

[survivaltricks]

[Akira's mouth twitches in barely contained amusement]

I talked to her a little bit about the resets too, actually.

[ah yes, he actually did get something important from her]

They almost sound like resets from a video game.

[justcawse]

Resets... What do they mean by resets.

[He... might have had it come up with Quentin, but he didn't explain much about dangers here.]

[survivaltricks]

[aha. well. Akira's got him, then. though he looks contemplative as he responds]

When things don't go "right," then Robin might be asked to reset the entire town. The forest spirits swarm us to kill us while setting the town back to the way it's "supposed" To be.

[he sounds so clinical in his explanation]

[justcawse]

I see....

[Noob did say that Robin had a lot of power here. It was clear the man didn't trust her. Goro was never the kind of person that trusted people so easily, but Robin didn't seem like much of a threat at first glance. He wasn't about to make the mistake of underestimating her though.

If she had that sort of power, it made sense why so many people seemed to dislike her for some reason.]

So essentially she has the ability to control the spirits?

[survivaltricks]

[Akira didn't trust easily either, but he'd be the first to admit there was something about Robin that made her easy to believe. perhaps it was because she was personable. . .? Akechi is probably in the right for remaining so wary]

I don't really think that's it.

[Akira replies with a shake of his head]

When she "resets" the town, she has to read some kind of incantation in a language she doesn't understand. It's different from being able to make the spirits do what she wants them to do, whenever she wants to do it.

[justcawse]

I guess the question that should be sought after for is...

What constitutes as a "reset"? What would the conditions be to trigger one?
