The Day of Thunder

"Of course, there is much to do and precious little time to do it, days at most." She nods at Makime and then at the two hosts. "I am sure that all will be right soon. In the meantime I will speak prayers to Lady Sun for the both of you. Be well and take care, you especially Chouri, you are so busy ...

"At one point he did," Ranmaru said before doing his best to twirl the shaft around his hand. Nice. Well, it wasn't so nice since it fell to the ground. He clucked his tongue then squatted down to pick it back up. "He didn't approve but I'm guessing not a lot of people approved of him when he creat...

"Would you believe me if I told you that I sought the truth of the universe in the act of being a mother?" "..." Anjing blinks. "Might need you to explain it to me. Only truth I found was that being a mother was the hardest thing I've ever done, but maybe the best. Except when you haven't slept in ...

The younger Crab tried to stand up straighter as she gave her report to the daimyo, but it was obviously difficult. “Something powerful wearing the form of Shinsei is attacking people,” Ayako reported. The most important news first, she had been taught. Then she elaborated. “The monk Ukyou asked fo...

She snorted and then she just barked out a yip of a laugh. "Oh, I can believe that. I've only met him once from a far distance, but he seems probably the most human of them all. It's a good trait. He seems an endearing sort." Look, she knew all about the company of a beatstick, so she could kind of...

Anjing curses using a highly creative and implausible coarse combination of words that most other Crab would have their ears boxed for. "Tai, you get the spirits ready, I'll help her." She tosses her cup down and moves fast towards the wounded Crab warrior, if necessary prepared to carry her to medi...

Otaku raises her eyebrows in pleased surprise that Anjing even has a snack for her mount. “A little rain never hurt,” she defends herself mildly, but steps under the canvas cover nevertheless, wrapping her hands around the hot cup of tea with murmured thanks. “Your camp is very neat,” she adds, loo...

''Anjing-sama, is the crab field camp still separated from the main imperial one? If so might I suggest you and yours to come stay in the village?'' "Oh that is a kind offer. And certainly in times like as things worsen we must all pull together. But I won't have my people just stomping their way i...

Ranmaru had done well in his studies of Niten but not enough. There were times when he was still too heavy on his feet, exposing himself (not in that way) to attacks and missing key openings. Sometimes he did not exert himself at a steady pace either; he could have used a bit more endurance. But in...

Day 4 it’s me again. Contested investigation vs sincerity. No realistic chance but for completion's sake. TN 50 | 5k3 ⇒ 23 (TN: 50) “Makes sense to me.” Anjing nods. “Well, appreciate your time and your help with the defences. Stay safe, one of my people got pretty badly hurt in the village this mo...

Snip "Well met Tsubame, you are a fine horse indeed."Turning to Otaky,. "If you're welcome in a Crab camp you're welcome to what we have, even got something special for Tsubame." Anjing stomps over and holds out the sack of feed before awkwardly hanging it off a tent pole. "Had to trade some scraps...

Anjing mutters a curse. "A shadow being? In your tent? Tssk, this is getting worse and worse every day. The demons strike more openly." She reaches down and rests a hand on the shaft of her battered club. "Could have been any of us without those wards." Firmly. "Makime, you need to get protection, I...

Day 4 It's me again thread. Opposing Sincerity with investigation/perception, TN 26, spending a void point since why not | 6k4 ⇒ 19 (TN: 26) Anjing had apparently missed the subtext but noted Makime's tone before looking to Wu and then Chouri. "Perhaps it is because I am a stranger in these lands, ...

Tai nods. "Assumin' we get out of here, he's gonna hear about this and tell me to just stick to our mountain for the rest of forever. Expect I'll have some new things to teach the twins and that water caller who walked up to join the Xia three winters back." Leaning over the pot, Anjing will smell ...

Tai looks sharply over to her commander, drops flinging from her hair. "Five!" She shakes her head. "Were they waiting for a sign from the heavens? I think I'd have rolled Akihito into a cave and sealed him in till he decided to say yes or no if he'd been ditherin' for a whole year even." She shuff...

"Very...earnest. Also owes me some tea. Don't know either well enough to say they're a good match, but I gather they've known each other more than the 3 days we've been here, and they both seem pretty sensible, so it's probably fine." She sits back, tucking the pouch well under her cloak to protect...

(Right, today's weather is rain. Guess we're rigging enough shelter for some fire but we're getting dripped on) "Yep, heard somethin' in the night, but not enough to really wake...you know? Haven't had a chance to ask around much this morning and see what other folks dreams were like." She brings h...

Makime looked at Anjing then back to Chouri, "And that is just a result of the ritual? Seeing monsters in the form of what you fear the most?"

Anjing shrugs slightly. "Another curse I suppose, hallucinations of fear."

(open and expecting) Tai spends some time refreshing wards upon her return before poking up the fire to heat water for tea. She really should have gotten Hikaru to bring her some *before* conjuring up that chunk of glittergrain. When Anjing emerges she...seems pretty well rested actually, there are...

Snip "My oh my, what have you got there? Very fancy indeed, don't think I've seen 'em like that before." Anjing holds out her tea. "Sounds like a good trade. Now, you make sure you drink plenty of water as well and stay awake and alert when you need to, okay? Lots of us having trouble with sleep so...
