The Day of Thunder

Ohta shook her head, "No, it's a good ideal. One I strive for myself. I'm happy to hear such from someone else's mouth." It was still early and the Spider woman hid a small yawn behind a hand politely before sitting up more straight and leaning back, looking at the sky. "...the sound of rain on a ro...

(Yes, thank you both much!)

It turns out “mild covid” does not produce the kind of sick days you can post through, so that’s my excuse.

*headpats Otaku*

"Hmmm... well, if you have indeed traveled much and seen much, I think it best to trust your instincts then. Say what feels right, and do what feels right here. It's true the choices can be hard and the mysteries deep, but your choices have served you up until now, no?" Ohta quietly cut a leaf up wi...

Ohta nodded. "I do sometimes wonder with some people; The way the spirits and prayers can heal people and help soothe their minds is amazing, and in recent years some people seem more reluctant to handle healing that relies on such mundane things as bandages and splints and herbs. They'd rather trus...

"I can but promise to look into it, Saru-sama. I will admit, he could be an avenue to look into, but I shall find out what I can regardless. I may not be as reckless as some, but I will give my all to find results, and hopefully make sure everyone is safe." She turned in her sitting position and fir...

"That was what I needed", the Scorpion said with a nod. He finally looked two thirds alive instead of half dead. A bow to the two shugenja. "Next question, either of you have time for tea perhaps? I'm trying my best to prepare for whatever nightmares are in store for us tonight." (my tea ceremony i...

SNIP SMOP Ohta had been standing near by, taking notes on what people said and the results of tests in neat, crisp, hurried handwriting. She didn't look up at the interaction of her Clanmates, but listened intently. "If it's all the same, Matsu-sama, I'd just as soon take my sensei's head if this p...

"I wouldn't see why a princess such as yourself would need to learn about tribal stimulants, no. I think we've moved beyond thinking we need such things to connect with the Heavens, no? Regardless, it's definitely something within my purview of knowledge, learning about herbs and medicines and poiso...

"Oh, you hadn't..." Ohta shook her head. "No, I suppose not by name, perhaps. It's a plant whose smoke produces feelings of relaxation and euphoria. I know it grows in mountain valleys, used to be used in some tribal rituals. It seems the locals here still use it in the rituals for this celebration."

Ohta watched the ritual with interest. She was interested... but wary as always. But... maybe too wary. It had already gotten her in trouble, and it had been said that she should not live to her fears while here. So she watched, nervously fidgeting with some beads on her wrist.

I'm just happy to have enough spoons to post tonight with everyone. *hugs all the people and birbs that are comfortable with hugs*

EDIT: *contemplates the "healing" of a Small disadvantage*

Ohta shook her head, "I can't say I've had the opportunity to meet any Nezumi, no. I hear they're not very common this far north. ...hm. Though now that you mention them, I wonder... I know most of their stories and such are by scent, but I wonder if they ever dabbled in pictograms... Could wrap the...

"You have been very busy with your sensei; but what is the source of the river?" she asked. "That... is something I was not able to find. Between the fog and the denseness of the forest, I ended up getting turned around. Rather than venture further and become lost, I made my way back to the farmlan...

Ohta went about looking at the plants, gathering small careful samples as she looked back at Kumori, "Are you sure, Shiba-dono? It sounds as if you have something on your mind. I always have open ears if you need them."

ssszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzleeeep~

"There are all sorts of possibilities as to what they couldn't get. I won't even speculate too much. Not from these papers." Ohta waves at the papers with one hand. "Not to mention precisely what they were seeking. A way into Yumedo, no doubt, but the WHY and what they hoped to do once they were the...

"Well, if they are doing something, I don't think it's actually malicious. Perhaps they have a different perspective than we do, part of how they ended up here. But I don't think they mean any of us actual harm." Next from Ohta's bag came a small knife, some small empty bottles, and a mortar and pes...

Thread/Threads opportunity; https://dayofthunder.fallenash.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=770 Ohta is available all three evening slots (EE, ME, LE) for medicine/healing rolls, as well as any discussions or requests of assistance. Whether that be learning about something, taking a look at something for yo...

Ohta's tally; +4!

That's almost a half a percent towards 1000!
