The Day of Thunder

"Tribe that used to live here... Do you know much else about them? This... isn't any tribe that I know of's territory. Unless there's something I've missed in my lessons."

See, it's so much saucier if you say it like;

"Day 1: Rock falls, /ftb."

"...I'm not worried I can't shoot my nightmares. Though I am worried about the consequences. That whole 'facing them' part. I had heard about this, but I didn't realize it was so literal."

Ohta bowed as well, even setting down the half-empty bowl of porridge to do so properly, "Indeed it is. And a set of diverse skills here would have been incomplete for the Spider without one of your family here, Matsu-sama. The fact it is yourself rather than someone trained by you..." A small nod a...

Ohta tried to not think about her own nightmares. It wasn't as if she had a lot, but they certainly felt like they were getting more common and vivid lately. Her Kirin-mother had always told her she had an active imagination, but there seemed to be a difference between that and dreaming, something h...

"Hisomu Goju..." Ohta seemed to become thoughtful at the introduction, even as Reo spoke. When he was done, she spoke up herself. "You... are that author, correct? Children's stories, if I recall. Hm. I can see someone like that not wanting to think about why they're here. Still, no boating and no w...

HE'S SO TINY.

Zaps all the Gremilins.

Ohta certainly had no objections to someone joining them; She'd been expecting it even. Giving a seated bow to the stranger, she spoke up, "Not at all, Hisomu-san. We were just discussing what brought us here. It's not the sort of place one simply 'ends up', after all. If I'm here, I know I have a p...

The term 'The Local Fog' sounded like something she should look into some time soon, while she was here. But not today certainly. No, she'd been riding all day. So it was she had shoes on instead of sandals, soft topped things that bunched around the ankles and didn't fall off with your legs off the...

Ohta listens calmly, though almost can't hold back a small cough or two when she swallows some hot porridge and it almost goes down the wrong way. She shakes her head at the end, "And that's what I mean in the end. We need more. Stories are good and all, they put things down memory can forget. But m...

Wonder when there will be a prayer/spell developed to tell THAT.

You'd think it would be easy with literal Blood Magic.

At least y'all know who your dad is.

Incorrect sir.

And Ohta is fine keeping it that way.

"Hmph. As much as I understand the desire to try to look into things, but if something is vague, I'd rather keep following up on it than simply suppose what it means. At least while the iron is hot, as a Kaiu might say. Is that not part of why you're following? The constant tug of finding knowledge ...

"I'm here to LEARN of course. I've been studying everything that's happening since graduating, but there are so many false leads and dead ends to this madness and everything going on lately. What better place to find a breakthrough than here? I didn't follow anything but my notes and the instincts o...

"You MISS a madhouse? In these times?" She shook her head a little, sighing. "If there's any one thing I want these days it's more peace, quiet, and sanity please. And maybe comfort, but I'm not going to go out of my way for that part as long as there are still opportunities out there. I mean, I'm n...

"I try my best. She belonged to my mother, Shinjo Wakana. She obtained him for the ride to Great Mountain City, back in the day. Been from one end of the Empire to the other, this one." She patted his mane before standing up fully again, "Though I suspect you know more about horses than me, even if ...

"One my Spider mother made, actually, for me. She always did have my schooling at heart." A small chuckle, only under Ohta's breath, "She always told me that children and education were the future, and the reason I was an only child was so she could focus on making sure I had all the tools necessary...

I'm happy to see you've availed yourself of a compound contraction.

You should hear me speak in real life.

We've heard the streams >.>
