The Day of Thunder

"I do not know. I feel I've been very distant from my Ryoshun cousin and have been distracted from most of the goings on here. It's something I need to rectify. I've found myself quite lost in this current situation. It's a... personal failure. I spent the last half decade living in a monastery with...

"It's simultaneously simple and difficult to learn how to do so properly. The techniques and ways of meditating are... myriad. But it's important to find the way that works best for you personally. I am capable of sitting down and quieting my mind with silence, relaxation, and release of thoughts. O...

"Just preparing for bed. It's been a bit choppy the last few nights, so I'm hoping a bit of centering and clearing my mind will help me find better sleep tonight," he admits. "Not sure if it will help, given the nature of what is happening but it can't help to make the mind more resilient and prepar...

With how stressful and unrestful sleep has been among the people, Huan decides to try a bit of meditation before bed to prepare his mind to resist the effects of what may try to invade his mind. He sits by a small fire in contemplation and seeks to find peace before he searches for rest. It doesn't ...

Huan sits in the garden in quiet contemplation. He meditates on the fire before him as he eats the provided food.

Huan heads to sleep in the early night and has no issues with attempts by nightmares breaching his dreams.

"The dreams I've had when sleeping near graveyards were usually not any worse when sleeping elsewhere, but maybe they would be here. Is that something that someone should be trying in order to learn about our enemy? Would we want to keep a watch over someone doing so?" He asks the little teacher. H...

He paused again to gather his thoughts. "Mmm... Ryoshun-san, if one were to sleep in a graveyard, what sort of dreams do you suppose they would have?" "The dreams I've had when sleeping near graveyards were usually not any worse when sleeping elsewhere, but maybe they would be here. Is that somethi...

Shinsei looks amused. "It's a comfortable seat." Huan opens his eyes with the words of Shinsei and listens to his words carefully. When he has an opportunity himself, he speaks up at the man on the stone, "Shinsei-sensei, the corrupt spirits are already here and working. Last evening Haka Soju and ...

"It's an unpleasant potential that we do need to be prepared for, but I certainly hope will be unnecessary. But I do hope that it never comes to utilizing such large scale forces over political disagreements, particularly if they are personal to leaders. Mobilizing such large groups of people should...

There was a resounding thump as a stone was dropped to the ground unceremoniously in the middle of the camp where most of the newcomers to the village were staying. Until now, it had been carried over hill and dale by the short man who had set it down. The fatigue written in this movements gave the...

"One on one combat probably tends to be a far more practical skillset for people that are looking to enforce the law and protect a community against individual criminal elements I imagine. It has it's practical place, but it can't imagine it protecting a region. For someone like me it's more benefic...

"Of course. Keep yourself safe Haka Soju. Thank you for your help and advice," he says with a nod.

"I will let you know. I'll also consult the stars about this too. Sometimes they reveal clues about things we cannot normally see. Any source of information can potentially be helpful. Where are you staying? With someone in the village?"
