I was doing more CR stuff this month so I haven't done any investigations despite having ideas. These are pretty general and easy to jump into if anyone needs help getting a lead. For anything more specific, we can figure out extra handwaving and stuff.
GEMSTONE/MEMORY RESTORATION Tsurumaru has suspected a connection between the characters and their gemstones for a while because of his own nature as a spirit whose physical condition is tied to his sword's status. With the information coming together, I'd like for him to take a more involved interest here. He's been damaged plenty of times before and recovered each time. While Tsurumaru doesn't remember right now, he's also the product of artifact restoration so he's cautiously optimistic here.
He's layered and slow to open up to others but he'll explain his reasoning and experience to others if he thinks they're worried or interested. He's pretty flippant about his nature as a spirit.
COLLECTING STORIES Sword boys are the products of the stories they've inherited. It doesn't matter if they're fact, fiction, detailed accounts, or trivial anecdotes. Their stories define them. While Tsuru has lost the value of his own stories, he still values other stories. He's more interested in learning the stories of the people in the towns and trying to find a way to preserve/restore what they can.
Last month, he offered a book of fairy tales, his favorite story, and asked the coffin for their favorite story. He received an original, handwritten story about a monster. Tsuru is very interested in finding out,
1. The title of the story (because it's written in Braille and he doesn't know what that is) 2. Who had the story before (because the notebook is worn from use) 3. Who the author, "Keigo Arata," is (because it's handwritten) 4. What was the inspiration for the story
Since the things they offered to the coffin effects on the island, he's going to see if he can find out where/how his offering ended up while looking for more information about the one he received.
He shared the monster story at the last town hall meeting so people are free to know about it if they were there. I've also had him sharing/discussing the story with anyone who asks. He's the type that just tells stories whimsically (because he's an old man...) so we can handwave him sharing it. Otherwise, he hasn't really discussed it a whole lot IC despite having thoughts.
This is just a lot of tl;dr to say,
1. He is investigating the story he got 2. He wants to learn more about the stories/lore/people here.
One of these this is specific and the other is pretty general but if anyone wants to pair up with me so we can investigate lmk.
GENERAL THINGS Tsuru is a 1,000+ year-old spirit and is very grounded in spiritual beliefs. He knows a ton of stories about superstition, folklore, traditional magic, and so on. He's happy to share what he knows with others even if his beliefs don't line up exactly with situations. He's here to offer a spirit-y and magic-y perspective on things.
He's also very capable in a fight and I want to get him a little hecked up tbh. So if anyone wants to go on a more dangerous investigation, I'm happy to have him play body guard or something.
