At the end of the first full day of the Story

[shakenit]

[Sumire is treating her journal... like a journal, because why not. It's not like any of the people she'd talk to about this stuff otherwise are here.]

I suppose I've at least found one useful inroad, but I still feel so lost, trying to make sense of this. Akechi-san would have it all figured out by now, I'm sure.

What we need is a way to coordinate without drawing attention to ourselves as outsiders, but I don't know what that would be.

[Guess who learned Reply All and doesn't know it! Someone may want to let her know this isn't quite as private as she intended.]

[Added after Hikaru's comment:]

Sorry about that, everyone. This is Sumire. I suppose I got what I asked for.

I found Siobhan-san - Sigrid, at the moment - and she's offered to help me get ready for the masquerade. At least I got to choose my own mask. Does anyone have much sense of what's going on besides that yet?

Gods, if our Tybalt is Amalia with her Blood Moon theatre Troupe, that would track.

Almost certainly Mei Torioi, who ever has chafed against cruel restriction. Beware that she’s chasing her doppelganger, the Luna Argent of the Blood Moons.

Ah, that's the shadow then. I believe we briefly crossed paths. She seems too reasonable to be playing the troublemaker in this tale, I wonder if that will change?
