The Day of Thunder

"Yes yes!" Chuchu cheeps happily. "Together, we'll create a Tomorrow that's good for children, won't we?"

....... END

She touches her heart, its warm glow pulsing beneath her fingers. "My Name is Mother of Ten Thousand Dreams ..." An auspicious Name, a sacred Name. Her dark, shining eyes turn to Soryu, gaze softening as she tries not to melt. "And your son, Dreams of Harmony , may his Name echo across eternity ." C...

Chuchu smiles up at Sora as she squeezes Soryu's hand. "Yes yes!" The nezumi -- not so little anymore, though still short coming up short beside her favorite human -- pipes up. "I know it is... unprecedented , but... it's what we want!" Her ears raise as her confidence does. "We are nnich'charatha -...

She tugs Soryu towards the fabled tunnel to give it a peek, swinging their hands between them as she does. Once again Chu barrages her human friend with questions: "Did you try snacks? Did you catch baby fox? Lots baby foxes here in spring?" .............................................................

"Practice tea parties?" Another giggle. Some people just like messing with cute things, she thinks. Silly. "Show Chu all the secret places? And the foxes?" She offers a hand to Soryu, expecting him to lead her around like she led him.

"Will be good good yes! See soon!" Chu chirps to Sora, one of her rare fibs. She absolutely wants to play with the foxes. The shaman scampers out first, giving Soryu an excuse to follow her giggling outside into the yard. He finds her staring up at the night sky. No matter where you are in the world...

Chu is, of course, absolutely delighted to play with Soryu's younger siblings -- once she's hugged both Sora and Kinyoubi, of course, and pounced on Soryu for his own omigosh I haven't seen you in forever hugs, and told Chomper he's a good-good boy yes he is. The nezumi does her best to be a good gu...

What do the Crab need redemption for? I'm pushing for more nezumi integration into the setting with my major goal and a (interesting, to me) mystical-y thing with my minor goal. Also, depending on how much leverage Canary gives me in splatbook writing, I have some worldbuilding ideas for nezumi. ^^ ...

Chu covers her mouth to just barely hide another giggle. "Yes please," She answers softly, doing her best to maintain the façade of an official delegate instead of a teenager wanting to hang out with one of her favorite friends and his family. It's been months since she took Human with a Nose to mee...

Would like it if nezumi magic comes with more nezumi. XP

Y'all know which one this nezumi voted for ;D

I do like the idea of Rokugan having better tech bc the nezumi empire survived almost fully intact. I think it would reward that huge divergence from the canon.

One of the Transcendent on the disk looks familiar; like one of the murals on the walls in their secret room, one petitioned for good fortune and prophetic dreams. She giggles, and, leaning in, whispers, "Do not worrily worry much -- you have Name ." Chu pulls away to brightly chirp, "Trip good! Pic...

It's her fur that gives her away. Among them that shock of multi-colored fur stands out -- the fur she shares with her mother and many of her siblings; but only Chu has a full-black face. Her eyes shine when she catches sight of Soryu. Oh! Yes, she'd hoped for this! Long black whiskers twitch in del...

...and Chu promptly climbs up his back. She peeks over Soryu's shoulder into the nest of roots where the shining eyes of a cat peer back at them. One spitting hiss and a squeal later, the shaman peeks out at him from behind a statue. "What you see?" .....................................................

And so Soryu is dragged off on the first of many adventures! Chu leads him a hidden room in the archives, one only reachable through crawling down a tunnel someone'd dug in the corner of a long-neglected storage closet. Some of the tarnished gold wall-to-ceiling murals are explained in detail -- oth...

If you want to stop running games for ANY reason, do it -- you > any game, period -- but man, that sucks to hear. I hope that was said to you out of compassion and not anger; still not great either way but at least one comes from a place of care. I'm sorry game has all been so rough for you after al...

Could nezumi help too? <- sticks nezumi nose in everything

Trying to figure out how to word Major Goal, bc it'll... be major. Minor is just *shrugging emoji*

She giggles again, tugging him towards the door; hopefully she can get him to play, like the children in the village, like in his father's dream. "Nose will get too big for face if you stay here all night and day, Little Nose! Come with? Chu show you secret secrets! Learn fun things!"

"Ah... that is Zhe's friend, right? I'm glad he got out with you..." The little nezumi happily takes Satsuki's hand, and Shou is... unceremoniously... carried over Chu's shoulder like a big stuffed animal. She looks around as they walk -- taking in the mix of human and nezumi. Her hand squeezes the...

Ah, so he hasn't dream walked; tonight will be fun, she thinks. She's much to teach him about Name and Reality... His bow gets another giggle which is immediately swallowed as her ears flatten against her skull. Oh... poor humans...! Chu pounces Soryu with a hug. "Glad to helping help!" She cheeps. ...
