Children of Izanami: Inquisition

The Hunt for Advisors
"Attention, all citizens of Yūrei!!!"

From a megaphone, Kenta was broadcasting a message within the center of town. Behind him and flanking him were police on horseback, wielding rifles in one hand while keeping a grip on their respective horse's neck with the other. Kenta himself was on foot, with only the megaphone in hand as his only instrument. His dual pistols were holstered on his waist, though it didn't look like he was going to pull them out any time soon. This parade was attracting a massive civilian crowd, who could only look on and murmur with surprise and apprehension.

"Be advised that in an estimate of two days, this entire region will be under attack and under siege!!" Kenta continued to call out, ignoring the reactions of shock and fear, as well as recognition and rememberance of the last encounter with invaders of the city. "Please report to 417 McGregor Avenue in order to accomodate yourself with our underground shelters. If you have any belongings, go back home and take anything you can with you before coming. Not to worry, there will be plenty of food and drink serving during your stay, and we have set up appropriate lodgings for everyone--"

This was not only for that particular block.

Throughout Yūrei and beyond the capital city, there were several rallying police units that were moving to gather civilians and herd them to the underground base that once served as a haven for supporters and participants of the Yūrei Resistance. Within the internet, and mainly on the TV, the announcements were spreading like wildfire. Reporters, although instructed the same as the civilians, were still informing the public as to what was going on as they too were guided to the underground network. No one was spared from the concern, and only those who were able and willing to fight the predicted onslaught stayed on the surface.

One in particular was that of Rukia Kuchiki, who was observing a TV monitor from her home.

She was observing everything with an observant, serious gaze, sitting in a chair in front of the TV. Briefly, she turned her eyes away for a moment and began thinking. It was clear that the followers of Red Sun set their aggressive sights on the city. But for what reason, and what purpose? Why would they allow their plans to be so easily read and anticipated by the very enemy they sought to destroy? She would have to find out more about the Red Sun scrolls in order to truly discover what their enemies were planning.

She allowed herself to stand up, walking over to her door and locking it before disappearing with a Flash Step. She would have to inform Kenta at least that she was planning to stay on the surface in order to aid in the evac and defense movements. After all, she wasn't just any ordinary civilian....
