Yomiki Village

The wind picks up suddenly. Goosebumps break out all over your skin as you shiver from the cold.

Shiver?

You look down and see skin and flesh. You have a body again. The frigid breeze flowing across your scarred, bare chest, the soft blades of grass beneath your feet, the soothing blue sky over your head: you take in all of these sensations, feeling truly alive.

“Kyaa, Acchan!” Ei is crouched down right in front of you, peeking through her fingers cheerfully. “You’re a beast!”

You suddenly realize that you are very naked, with not a stitch of clothing on your person. Before you can react, something bumps against the side of your foot. It is a red cloth ball. Turning your head, you see three children clad in faded, patched clothing and straw sandals staring at you, their jaws hanging agape.

***

A. “You there, kids! I have something to ask of you!” This place is not real. These children are not real. Ergo, your nakedness is not real. Thus reasoning, you strike a bold pose and ask them to bring you to their leader. Who needs clothes when you have a mystery to solve?

B. “Sorry! D-Don't look at me... I know this sounds weird, but can you hear me out for a bit?” You cover yourself up with your hands and try to convince them not to scream, and perhaps to bring you something to cover yourself with.

C. You make a run for it. You don’t really want to be lynched for indecent exposure. You flee towards:
1. The edge of the village, into the forest. You’ll figure out where to get clothes later.
2. The nearest hut that seems uninhabited. There might be clothing you can take there.
3. The Western mansion close to you. The owner must be rich, and can afford to take pity on you.
4. The large shrine down the road. Surely the priest will be full of compassion and not jump to conclusions.

Jesus...

C2.

Damn it, now I'll never know what would happen if we barged into the Mansion with all the girls there...

Doubt the Baron would be very generous, but his wife might help us out of kindness. Judging by the photo, she was a gentle woman. Maybe C3 could work, too... provided we don't stumble on anyone else.

Also, it's good to finally see Ei in her human form. She does not disappoint.

Isnìt Japan that place where men and women still bath naked together?
I thought that Japanese didn't have the same approach to nakedeness as the West.

C2> C4 seems to be clever way to stay alive.

Public nudity has been illegal in Japan since the late 19th century. They've had more than a century to adapt that into their cultural consciousness. I'm pretty sure the Japanese don't go about their public business naked nowadays, unless their public business is filming fetish porn videos.

 

[Kz3r0]

Public nudity has been illegal in Japan since the late 19th century. .

Exactly the era we are in, in a rural village.
My point is that while for Shinoseki is normal to feel embarassed I doubt the villagers will bat an eyelid, authorities, notables and Catholic clergy could be a different story.

How does your point relate to the choices given?

 

[Kz3r0]

How does your point relate to the choices given?

It's not based on the given choices but on what to pick up, I don't think we should overreact here, but I guess that for RPG players barging in someone else's property and taking his stuff is an automatic reflex.

 

[treave]

Even in rural areas, without getting into your being a stranger, you're expected to have at least a loincloth on in public. This isn't some flopping cock Scandinavian nudist paradise.

How exactly the villagers will react is another matter that you can discuss, but there will be a reaction.

Still, how can your nakedness be real if their eyes aren't real?

 

[Baltika9]

Precisely why I'm rolling with A, the best defense is a strong offense. First, we demand to be seen by their leader. Then, we take the leader's wife and daughters in front of the entire village. They won't dare disobey us after that.

 

[Nevill]

While this place, our nakedness and their eyes are not real, we have come here with a very real purpose - to investigate. Which we might quite nicely botch if we fail to cover our fake nakedness with fake clothes, get thrown into a fake prison and subsequently kicked out of this fake vision.

Besides, Ei's immodest glances make us shy.

 

[Baltika9]

Just pretend we're Inari on a drinking binge.

What?
Weaboos lied to me.

How exactly the villagers will react is another matter that you can discuss, but there will be a reaction.

Of course, this is why starting stealing stuff is not the best course of action in my opinion.

Still, how can your nakedness be real if their eyes aren't real?

We should be true to ourself, well, not to the point to run in the woods.

 

[Nevill]

It's not stealing if we aren't planning to run away with them.

I mean, what are our alternatives, to go beg for clothes while stark naked? Better to ask forgiveness than permission.

 

[Kz3r0]

All right, flopping to
C2
to speed up things.

I have a bad feeling about this.

 

[Nevill]

I am still tempted by the mansion. The Baron might turn out less prejudiced than petty commoners.

 

[Rex Feral]

C2, of course. Lynch mobs are bad, and in that epoch people were killing other people for any reason they could think of.

Or you could grab Ei and go for fake road trip, followed by fake date, followed by fake... something else
She seems to be interested.

Acchan could ask her if she will lend him some clothes to, if she is from this time era. Kids might be simply wondering who is this naked guy next to baron doughter.

The woods are a place of equal romance and mystery, and on top of that we run the chance of encountering a bear to engage in diplomacy with. What will the ghosts have on bear cavalry?
