Jiro was out again. He had messed up the previous piece, failed to meet his standards and needed more material.

D5 LE, collecting crafting materials | TN: 2 | Success: 3 / Opportunity: 2 / Strife: 1

Success, opps: Notice something missing or out of place in the vicinity that is not directly related to the task. At the GM’s discretion, you may establish an absence, such as a lack of shoes outside indicating the occupant’s absence.

Can I notice a lack of animals in the vicinity, indicating that something nearby keeps them away?

The sounds of wildlife, the brief chirping of crickets in the evenjng. Nothing is driving away animals from the forests, it seems perfectly normal.

What you do notice is that the feeling of life seems stronger the further away from Tsuma one gets. As if something within the city has been dulled.

But it is slowly ebbing back..

Noticing the curious sensation he begins the walk back.

I will need to talk to someone tomorrow.
