The Day of Thunder

Otaku coming in swinging with the "I'm not angry, just disappointed"-vibe. At least I felt that one in my soul. <3

Satsuki tilted her head to the side as she considered it. Not because she wanted to deny a dying woman one last request, far from it, but more that she didn't know the future of the villagers - if there would be a way out of it for them afterward. "If there is no order from the Emperor to prevent me...

"We all hope that," she agreed. "Hopefully, we'll have managed to turn the tide enough in our favor for what comes." "I can't make any guarantees as to what people will think of this, after it's all over, but at least they can make up their own minds on what to believe when hearing the motivations a...

Satsuki listened and nodded. For a rare moment, she decided not to voice her contrarian opinions, because at this point there was no need. "Destiny is a strange thing indeed, that it brought you the people you were fighting against up until recently, who managed to work together to make the scrolls ...

That is everything yes!

And Chuchu did give us her "prevent corruption"-blessing, which must be maintained by bringing the scrolls to Nezumi shamans.

Canary seal of approval, so adding it in!

That works with the way Nao was thinking about it, a rising vortex. I was picturing more of a targeted updraft, but a wind wall works. Suggestion: Dance of the Azure Dragon Ring/Mastery: Air 3 (Defense) Range: 50' Area of Effect: 50' radius, centered on caster Duration: 3 rounds Raises: Duration (+...

Added in Chuchu's special contribution! "It's quite the work. Alone it would have taken too long to do it all, but with everyone working together we've been able to make it happen so quickly..." Chuchu's eyes take on a strange shine while she examines their work -- as if reflecting a meteor shower. ...

Satsuki nodded, thoughtful and quiet for a moment. Another sip of the mint-tea was had, slow and deliberate. "I won't keep you too long, you probably have enough to do. Before I go though, is there anything you wish to say, have made known, or know yourself?" If today was a ritual of confessions, wo...

"You need need need Name for this," She finally breaks the silence. "You humans are corruptible. Your magic is, too. Bring this scroll to my people every three years, and we will purify and strengthen its Name for you. Do this, and peace will return to your dreams and your people." The shaman nods,...

"Show me what you have and I'll figure out what I can do." She starts to eat in earnest as she waits. Nezumi magic was fascinating to watch, and Satsuki can't help but wonder if the nezumi felt the same when they saw the magic humans performed. "Of course. Just a second." The grooming unfortunately...

"I see..." and she imagined that these messages probably painted the samurai of the Empire in an unfriendly light. "I don't think I remember hearing this song, but there was a lot of things going on then."

Shoulda done that first, you silly goose, that's the smart thing to do. Chuchu offers up the bowl back to Satsuki with one hand as she whispers into the other. A glow later and she squeaks, "Sorry sorry! How can I help?" Oh no! The poor little thing had dirt in her fur! Unable to help herself, Sats...

The Harbinger on Day 7: This day is going to be perfect...

She cheeps. Aww. Chuchu picks up a carrot and nibbles on it as she waits for correction. "Close enough," the Dragon woman laughs. It was too hard to correct someone so small and cute. "It's probably very hard to say for you, but you'll get the hang of it someday. When you go back home, you'll have ...

As a well-loved child, she's used to adults caring for her well-being, and it makes her feel right at home. Her tail wags as she starts to purr. The bowl exchanges hands, and she can't help but to feel all fluffy and warm on the inside watching the small ratling's reactions. Carefully she points ou...

Smiling without showing her teeth, Satsuki kneels down near the roots of the tree as she keeps in mind that her tall height might come off as intimidating to the little ratling. "Hi-hi," she responds back with a warm chuckle and a wave of her hand. The other squeaks and cute sounds wasn't something ...

"I'm sorry if this is a hard question to answer, given all you've been through but, do you know what she said to them when she was in control?" Satsuki asked carefully, keeping in mind that being possessed wasn't exactly a thrilling experience. As she knew herself! (stupid grandpa)

"She?" Satsuki looked for a moment to her teacup, then back to Chouri. "Do you mean the woman known as Tsubaki, as she was then, or the Harbinger as she is now? Sorry for so many questions, but... I'm just trying to understand the villagers' situation, and how much they have either been willingly pr...
