Re: The Festive Spirit [Day 1, EE, Expecting]

“Oh? Yes. I have to keep up with my hand-to-hand practice. I have to be able to defend myself on the road.” She lifts up her sleeve slightly to show that she isn’t skinny but rather lean. “Keeping one’s body in condition helps the mind.” "Hmmm, still skinny if you ask me." She nods approvingly all ...

Re: It's not just nice, it's niece [Day 1 LM, Expecting]

Snip "People who talk in metaphors ought to- Uh, well they shouldn't. It just slows everything down. Half the time it's just so they can feel superior." She chews angrily for a moment, chewing in a fury! "Say to him?" She swallows date, sitting up a little straighter. "Hmmm, not an easy question. I...

Re: The Festive Spirit [Day 1, EE, Expecting]

“Villages tend to be hospitable and lend grains and some vegetables if they can spare. Regardless, I cook a lot with wild vegetables.” The meat skewers don’t really seem to catch much attention from the monk. “I had something to eat before starting. I might partake during the festival, but I am sat...

Re: The Festive Spirit [Day 1, EE, Expecting]

“There’s always some place in need.” Sukuna answers simply, a slight smile crossing her features. “Paying forward kindness that I have received.” "Right...I can't imagine you receive a lot back in return. Gratitude and a task well done is good and all, but they don't put food on the table. No Crab ...

Re: Crabs in the Fields (Day 1, LE Expecting)

Snip "It's the navel gazers and poets who write history. But I agree, things are dire enough that everything we have could be stripped away. It can't happen again." Anjing's fists clench at the thought, knuckles white and angry against her skin. "All that chaos at the Winter Court and still, we jus...

Re: Crabs in the Fields (Day 1, LE Expecting)

Snip "Ha! Stubborn enough we could live in a house with no walls and the roof would stay up. I suppose there are worse things to be known for." She thinks back on her family, her expression hardening. "It won't come to that. Armies or no we will stop it here." Then Anjing glances over at Makime. "I...

Re: Crabs in the Fields (Day 1, LE Expecting)

"I work only to make Lord Akodo's will manifest. Which mostly means creating some sort of order from the chaos of mixing so many from such different tribes together. And I take pride in having done well so far." She answered dryly, taking the offered arm in a firm grasp. Truthfully she would have d...

Re: It's not just nice, it's niece [Day 1 LM, Expecting]

"Tea and sweets it is." She starts boiling water over the now appropriately blazing fire before carefully unwrapping some sweet dried dates she hands to Satsuki. "Put some colour in your cheeks. It feels like it will be a long day." She pops a date into her own mouth and chews happily. "Tai is very ...

Re: Crabs in the Fields (Day 1, LE Expecting)

"Lady Anjing," Makime said as her shape resolved itself out of the fog, "Terrible ground to fight a battle on I am afraid. I was looking it over this morning." Her own weapon sat in it's scabbard, but the Lioness's hand rested on it...ready to shift down and hold the scabbard if she had need to dra...

"I'm not sure, maybe? It fled once we started striking it properly, if none of that was doing any harm it would probably have stayed. Or maybe not, it was just drinking when we found it. Drinking and drinking and polluting a stream. I don't think if it could really think." She turns and starts rumma...

“Depends on the needs of the village in particular. I have done some training in medicinal care in case of illness in the area. Or injuries.” Sukuna hides her hands in the sleeves of her robes and looks around the village. “Sometimes it’s helping in construction.” "Oh? That...actually sounds quite ...

Re: Crabs in the Fields (Day 1, LE Expecting)

Makime had headed back out into the fields, this time with a more direct purpose. She had heard a few individuals of interest to herself might be out in this area at this time of day. So the Lioness took to the prowl to locate them. Seek and ye shall find. Anjing was still pacing about even with th...

Re: Bench Warming Through The Apocalypse [Day 1, LA, Expecting]

Anjing yawns again and blinks. Yes, not that bad a garden at all really. Strange, but maybe sleeping here wasn't that weird if you needed a quick nap. Definitely the nicest part of the village.

Re: The Festive Spirit [Day 1, EE, Expecting]

Confusion and concern crosses her features. “Annoying me? I can’t exactly say he has. I’m usually practicing away from my fellow monks. I spend more time wandering between villages and offering aid when needed.” “Though, I apologize if I have caused any confusion.” "That's good to hear. That's he's...

"Magic is cheating." Not that Anjing seems to mind as the as the heat radiates out from the fire and she warms her hands. "Yes, Tai called it a 'Mad Shaper' it was warped, even by the standards of the creatures. I'm not even sure she really harmed it, even with Tai dropping a boulder on the thing." ...

Re: The Festive Spirit [Day 1, EE, Expecting]

That really catches Sukuna off guard. She can’t quite respond to that for a good few seconds before she was able to compose herself. “Ah, yes, I am one of Shinsei’s disciples, but I am unsure why you being married is an issue when it comes to idle chatter and conversation? Did I miss something impo...

Snip "He's a strange one, no doubt. Started just flexing to himself at one point. At least he works out." Anjing is working hard not to smirk at the memory. "Wu's here too? Well that's something, trying to save the empire with a new strain of beans I bet. The artist sounds interesting, if she does ...

"Give me dry mountain coldness any day. Hot and humid is fine, cold and dry is fine. This is just miserable." Anjing smiles, her usually dour expression lighting up as she hugs Satsuki fiercely. "My bones far fine I'll have you know. They still get me where I need to go." One last squeeze and then s...

Re: The Festive Spirit [Day 1, EE, Expecting]

The young monk had spent some time offering help to those who wanted it while setting up. This is the least she could do to repay them for the hospitality. It didn’t take long to notice the other outsider hanging around the festival preparations and Sukuna decided to approach. “I hope I can get use...
