The Day of Thunder

Work...as things get spicy, oh well

<snip> <snip> As they helped Nao to sit, Satsuki noticed Yukara and gave them a nod of appreciation. It was good to see that someone from the Bat was here to look after Nao. "She came to the village on her own, to see everyone gathered here," she explained to Tai in a gentle tone as she let Nao lea...

She slowly stood and moved to the porch, offering Yukara a thankful smile. She glances around, asking "your mom about then? Imagine she'd at least want to know you're ok after that." "No. Mom joined dad in meido a few years ago." she said. They're a ways to the porch while Tai mulls the word over. ...

Thought I had another post in me. I was wrong. Sleep soon.

"My head doesn't have as far to fall as my siblings or cousins." she laughed weakly. "I should be alright. It happens sometimes . It used to happen to mom, too." She looked up. "I am Ryoshun Nao." Tai takes in the more formal introduction, happy to relinquish the packet of herbs. They were common e...

Tai nods, not bothering to correct the odd-to-her form of address and accepts the little bukkumi with a smile. "Ah, that's far more'n a fair trade. We'll see what I can bring you later on, neh? Make em yourself?" She busies herself wrapping a few greens around it to make a packet to bite through as ...

Tai riffles through little packets, pulling out one with a soothing scent as the obviously capable Dragon works. She passes it down. "For the headache like to come after droppin' like that. Have a cousin gets those shakes." She looks down. "So Nao, is it?" That one doesn't look familiar at all. Too ...

As she waits for the little wrapped cake, she studies the young Dragon woman. Not one of those she'd seen with the folks crossing the mountain to trade, but familiar. Cake in hand, she tromps closer, clearing her throat a bit. "Pardon, missy...you look familiar, but not quite. Any of your family tr...

Forgot to input the TN, but that doesn't affect it overall.

A festival! Satsuki was drawn to the food right away, and she happily got some warm rice cakes that reminded her of the kind she had eaten at home. The young Dragon was happily milling around with her guqin in its cover on her back as she ate. (PM if approached pls) Tai'd gone hunting the most fill...

Glad all the cussing has inspired this

Tai spent some time getting there, unhappy with how *off* directions felt. She could see the tents all around as she made her way to the fog-dimmed murmur of many voices, but when she'd been certain that she'd passed this off in the other direction last night. Damn fog. Still, something was going on...

Tai nods. "Why we're here...well some of us. Can't build a wall against dreams. But we know jade helps...maybe there's other things that hold it off, or push it back. There's rumors that maybe there's somethin' in this place." She looks around at fog, with a frown. "But I grow more worried that it's...

Tai shakes her head. "Too new to be sure. But those I've seen? Well...they're noticed when they do something awful. Lot of 'em don't much want to live then, even if they come out of their madness." She shoots a sour glance toward Naraku. "Which doesn't mean we set them on fire and warm our hands as ...

Tai's lip curls. Was she that certain when she was young? Certainly not about anything so damaging. "Don't humanize them? Those are my neighbors...and their children or parents or cousins. They suffer as we all do through these nightmares of an infected realm. And some snap." The hard part was knowi...

Ranmaru's opinions had been considered laughable, But Naraku's... Tai's dark on dark eyes go wide in surprise before narrowing. There's a distinct chill to her tone. "Country bumpkins... Like those driven mad by these nightmares plaguin' everyone?" She pauses there, the earth's patience willing to w...

Day 1: Rock falls, everyone dies.

Please give me some credit, that's not nearly traumatic enough

Rocks fall, everyone you know dies around you.
Been there, done that, got the permanent marks for it since T-shirts aren't invented yet. ;p

"Just Tai is fine. Hard enough to remember I've got a family name to announce here, where I don't know everyone. Definitely never got the hang of adding bits to the ends of all the names." She tilts her head, "but if you've one you like, I'm polite enough to use it, neh?" She laughs, tramping closer...

"Tch, now Takuma, all this chatter's full of pleasantries. We're very pleasant. Just not fond of the folks who need to talk about wet the rain is, instead of steppin' in out of it so you can close the door." Tai watches the eddying of the fog as the group moves through it. She reflects Anjing's hint...
