The Day of Thunder

Maybe Goju misunderstood him. "Aye." The Stag being the first target brought him no comfort. He shook his head. "Though I suppose I dragged us to an odd point worrying about a war with the Nezumi. I have tendency to speak before thinking."

After having had the illogical part of his train thought point, Goju takes a second to organize his thoughts. "I am no priest either, but I did hear tales about the realms from father long ago." Goju sighs. "I do not know what we're here for. Nor do I know how my talk of the Realms play into. Or if ...

[Would normally roll Lore: Corruption, but this Day 0 so...] Goju fishes out a finger of jade. "Isn't that what this is about? To protect us from Jigoku. It wants to take us from Tengoku's light. It's first attempt was to take Hisomu-kami after all" Goju shrugs as he puts it back. "Maybe greed would...

"Jigoku is a jealous realm. Of course, it would want the glory of the Heavens. It might have happened in a different way, but it is inevitable." Goju believe in Tengoku supremacy. The idea that the kami did something wrong by coming to Ningen-do was just alien to him.

"Nah. This isn't on us. A war between Jigoku and the Heavens would have happened regardless." Goju is full of belief and nothing else to back up his comment.

"Shinsei? He does have his choices for people. I don't necessarily understand his choices, but they appear to always work on." Reo inclines his head. "Though I am surprised that you were this far from the shore, I am glad to have a diverse skillset" "Aye. I'd rather be at sea, but at least I got to...

"A little of both. I know Nezumi shamans who grow powerful enough can become Transcedants and reside in Yume-do. It sounded like they reside in the same area. But that doesn't necessarily mean Yume-do is similar to Ningen-do having a world." Goju wonder if he made sense as he barely got what he was ...

Goju considers this. "I suppose they all do. Though I do wonder if the corruption is a place in Ymue-do and we just happen to come across it or if it targets people for some reason."

"My trip here, nothing surprisingly. At least that I personally saw. Saw a few things in the see that should be like that. Saw prey fish rip apart predators a few times. A two-headed shark too."

Goju shrugs. "I guess? Our camp seems a little larger than other Clans." Goju motions towards it (player is assuming camp sizes are relative to PC characters unless otherwise noted). "Doesn't surprise me. If we are here about the dream stuff, Hisomu-kami has interest in seeing it stopped."

"Ah. Thanks, Reo-sama." Goju wasn't all that hungry since he just ate but took some to be polite. He always felt awkward around his in-laws. They were a little too insightful for his taste even if by accounts they were good people. Who knows? Maybe Hisomu already told him? Either way, his past somet...

Goju comes in and gives a deep bow to his father-in-law first. "Reo-sama, I hope you are well." He gives a normal bow to Ohta. "Afternoon, Reiko-san." He seems to read the air. "I hope I am not interrupting."

"Hm. I had some goods I was delivering in Stag lands, so I took my ship back to port in Spider lands and traveled west in a caravan. The hunting was pretty good, though mainly I was trying to keep my skills sharp. Don't get to hunt a lot on a ship."

"More like.... a concerned lord. Fortunately, I have my own ship, so I don't have to worry about anyone above me. On the sea at least." Goju was interested in the Stag's tale but decided to not pry considering his earlier reaction to Goju mentioning the sea.

"Probably the same. Though that is behind me." There was a hint of sadness in those words.

"We get on with 'em well enough," Akutou replies. "Occasional dustups, but that's true any time y' get two groups come into contact. Lots o' folks feel like they've gotta show who's got the most t' swing around, even with the Kami in charge of things here. Nothin' wrong with a little fun, now an' a...

"Name magic is different. Well, not denying their religious significance, but it's not about making offerings to the kami. It's about using your Name to warp reality to your wishes. It's power is.... well, let's say I'm glad the Stag are the neighbors to the Nezumi."

Goju nods along and notes Akutou's interest in the Nezumi. "Aye. I was a Seeker of Name a little while ago and studied their Name Magic. Their power is incredible." Goju has absolute respect for the Name magic that he seems to not have for much else. "Though getting a shaman to talk to me was always...

Goju nods. The Stag's words would lead to the Spider having a long philosophical and scholarly thought before bedtime. Luckily here, he could ignore them for now. "Aye. I guess this probably has to do with dream stuff going on? That's the only thing that makes sense." Goju sighs. "It always comes ba...

DAMNIT!!! A host of emotions play of Goju's face from anger to sadness to fear at the mention of Genji's name though he quickly gets control of himself. If Akutou wasn't looking at him as he mentioned that name, he probably wouldn't have noticed. "I see. I was afraid of that." He would volunteer fo...
