‘Righto. You’re the spooks expert.’
Okay, yeah, there’s some kind of illusion going on. You CAN sense beyond it, including the faint presence of some guards… but there’s also another presence you glimpse. Something… way more rotten. Not a living thing, but something Magic, and something just… wrong.
“Hado, yer sure it’s holding?” Sala questions quietly as the two continue to sneak ahead.
“Yeah. We’re not affected, at least not yet.” he confirms… and then pulls out something you weren’t expecting. A Scouter. Putting it on, he taps the settings a couple times. “All right, this wasn’t affected either. We’re on the right path.”
Cuuuurious. Doubly curious. Sachie pokes her head over your shoulder as the two of you move along the walls, following them. ‘Huh, ain’t that one of those Scouters you were tellin’ me about?’
You nod. ‘Aunt Maple kinda gave ‘em away like candy, so I guess stands to reason some ended up in the hands of… suspicious individuals.’ What they’re USING it for remains to be seen, but it’s definitely something to keep an eye on. In fact, maybe you SHOULD let Maple know…
…
Actually, were are the Dragon Balls? And… you find it a little odd that Fu’s not stalking them too, from what you’ve been told about the guy, this seems like something he might be interested in following up on. Or maybe he is? And what’s that presence you sensed earlier…? Agh, questions, questions…
>A. Nnnnah you’re fine. You can handle this, you’re Earth’s new Mahou! Suspicious Magic stuff like this is your responsibility now, or somethin’>B. Eeeeeh better check with Maple just in case>C. Sense out that presence again, see if you can get a better read on it>D. Pantea, can you scout ahead for us? And be wary, there’s something weird going on>E. …You’re so, so tempted to spook ‘em now. Look at ‘em, acting all serious and stuff. Might get them to move quicker, too>F. Something else?
