The Day of Thunder

I can if no one else wants to. I actually have pretty decent rolls on the first two. But combat I am not particularly good at. So, I'll do it if no one else wants to, but more than happy to stand aside for someone who actually has a combat character even if they've had a battle already.

The 6% were the short ones in the back.

Probably a bunch of seagulls in trenchcoats.

Tadaka nods. "I get it. At least, I think I do."

Tadaka continues to write his book. First the events of the day and then revisions of the previous nights.

Goju considers Reo's words while he eats. They would resonate with him when he speaks to the shaman later tonight in his dreams. He needed to forge his own path to become a better man.

"Aye. And Uncle Hisomu gives us the opportunity to excel at our own path."

Tadaka considers. "We'll see. Not sure how well the rigging would be set up for someone your size to climb up that high. But if it's safe to, sure. Just make sure it won't interfere with anyone's duties."

"I simply figured either they were the enemy or had some great drugs. Either way, I probably should stay from them with my history. But yeah. I see what you mean. It's harder to look at things from someone else's perspective when the enemy isn't straightforward. But necessary." Tadaka makes note to ...

If the Day of Thunder would have been described before as it was in the latest Announcement, I would have tried harder to become a Thunder.

"I see. Maybe I can you and the others back on board my ship. My home has a giant forest in it, and I heard the Isawa tribe believed the wood had special properties for the magic. I figure I can also bring some for your Rememberers. If it is good, then we can open a trade route between our peoples."

"Aye. Makes sense. I admit, I've been a bit hesitant to reach out to them after that first night."

"Aye. Hopefully, it will be impressive enough." Tadaka thinks for a moment. "Do you have a planned route home?"

"Hm. I see. That's helps."

Tadaka nods. He wasn't sure how culpable the villagers were. Well, Sora's comment helps put it in better context. "Wouldn't they still follow the headswoman? She is helping us now, right?"

"I see. I wasn't sure how it went. We do have Imperials such as you and my cousin here. But we also have the daimyo council. I wasn't sure who had what authority. If you or my cousin were sent by the Emperor. Or maybe one of the daimyos. Or if no one was given such authority which is apparently the ...

"Ha, I recall something like that in my youth as well...maybe with my sister?" He seemed a bit confused. "It seems cool until fingers start flying. Will you be taking your twins to the sea when they're older?" Sorry about that, Kazoku. I'll stop reminiscing about the past before you take the blame ...

Tadaka shrugs. "Has their fate been determined yet?"

Her eyes grow wide and shiny. Oh! Oh, that makes everything make sense! Normally, someone would die if their Name was stolen, but his was only borrowed -- it was no punishment, no intended cruelty at all! She bounces up and down where she stands. "Yay, yay!" She gently tugs at Tadaka's clothes as s...

"Think of how my uncle must feel. It's why I have been mostly been staying away from my brother and cousins. It feels weird and a little creepy to know things about them and they know nothing about me." He takes a bite. "Though I do plan to see Genji later today. Not sure how it will go." Goju nods ...

"Well, I'm glad there was no accident. I definitely need to keep the swords locked up tight. I remember when I was five or so and tried to convince my brother that we should play sword fight with real swords because obviously it would be cooler. Thankfully, my brother had the common sense to refuse ...
