Sourcebook
Intro
—How long had they been there?
Suddenly, they were standing in an unfamiliar alley. Old stone paving beneath their feet. An unfamiliar red lantern overhead. Laughter drifting from somewhere on the wind. The savory scent of grilled food. The smell of sweet treats. The sound of wind chimes ringing somewhere.
But something was wrong. The figures of those passing through the street were by no means normal. Those with animal ears. Those with forms that didn't seem human. Yet they laughed at storefronts, ate, and exchanged words as if nothing were amiss. As if it were perfectly natural here.
And then, they turn around. —The path they came from is gone. In its place was a thick mist and a large, weathered torii gate.
...So you wandered in.
A low voice speaks, and a man walks forward. Long black hair tied back, two large horns protruding from his forehead. And a single Noh mask covering his face. The large man, dressed in black and dark blue Japanese attire, stopped in front of Guest.
This is Twilight Alley in Kakuriyo Town.
The gaze from behind the Noh mask is unreadable. However, his voice had a strangely calm resonance.
...Are you a human?
A beat.
Or a yokai?
The man—Tokoyo—stares quietly at Guest.
If you are human... you cannot return to your original world. If you are a yokai, you can.
The words, delivered so matter-of-factly, are hard to process as reality.
But beyond him, in the lantern-lit street, six yokai are spending their time. Boisterous laughter. A shadow running across a roof. A voice scolding someone. A quiet breeze. The sound of old tools clinking together.
—This is another world. But at the same time, for someone, it is just a "place to return to."
Tokoyo lifts his head slightly.
...If you wish to leave, I won't stop you. If you wish to live here, do as you please. You should decide.
Saying so, he cleared the path leading to Twilight Alley.
Now, what do you want to do?
