The Day of Thunder

Shang was normally a jumpy person but she didn't flinch so much when Kai walked in beside her and started speaking to her. It seemed that she wouldn't react for a moment, seemingly in a melancholy or fugue state. She didn't pay any mind to the other in the slightest. It would only be after a moment ...

Off to the RL dreamlands...maybe I'll lead the caravan through the zombie-infested canyons? Who knows!

Will be scarce tomorrow until the evening.

"Yes! But let's stick to the less muddy path," she said as she moved to the side to avoid a puddle along the way. "The intention is to ensure that you don't connect with the Earth in an unexpected way," she chuckled a touch anxiously, wondering if that was something that was going to jest on in Yumi...

"I personally think it would be worth a try, if it doesn't damage the scroll in question," she gave a shake of her head, feeling that she hit a stone wall during her visit to the house earlier. "Insight is gravely lacking here. It wouldn't be so bothersome if there weren't so many issues that didn't...

The Haka seemed to notice Shang's brief vexation at his words, even raising his hands as if to apologise. "Ah, I didn't mean that as a criticism, Saru Shang-nim! I was more just worried, I guess, considering what the River has shown and what's in its source. Worried, and..." Curious? . The word did...

Shang smiled earnestly at Matsu's first point, nodding enthusiastically. "I'm glad that you see my passion for art. Well, perhaps not my art in general but the idea that something great could be created when inspiration and cooperation could be thrown into the mix. I know little of architecture but ...

What does it all mean? (Early Morning)

With the new days, Shang emerged from her tent looking a bit uncertain and listless. She threw on her clothes hastily and her hair was loosely bundled without the effort of styling it in a specific manner. Chaotic might be the word for it here. There were a few sharp gusts that flew by as she walked...

Snip Snip "Oh, uhm," she murmured to herself as her gaze went left and right, just realizing that she inadvertently let the cat out of the bag. However, she was determined to at least keep the details as clean as possible about said person. "Well, yes. Someone did. I couldn't stop them but I did wa...

"It was no issue at all, Yumi-san," Shang said as she cast a concerned look at her, checking that she was still with her in many ways. "I'm grateful that you trusted me to be here and honestly, I was very curious about the effects of the river. To hear that you didn't lose your memory but in fact, e...

Shang nodded slowly as she followed Matsu's every word, trying to drag each into her mind as she tried to decipher the meaning behind them. Unfortunately, she might have lost herself in the sauce already when she mentioned her children already. She never imagined that Matsu already had children of h...

Shang turned up for the meeting with charcoal and parchment in hand. She nudged her way to the front of the crowd, not because she assumed that she would be chosen for greatness in any manner but because she wanted to capture who was in attendance. Their reactions, mannerisms, and faces! It was unli...

Shang did take notice of the proximity of Yumi, her hands lifting slightly as she was prepared to either catch the other woman or deflect her away. When that wasn't the case, she would lower them again and pretend that wasn't concerned about her falling over in the slightest. No need to talk circles...

When Matsu's eyes met her own, Shang's hand slid off her forearm preemptively out of concern she might have overstepped her bounds with the reassuring gesture. The silence made things a touch awkward when she looked at the other woman with an uncertain look in her eyes as she was put in a bit of sus...

Shang placed a hand on Matsu's forearm when she spoke of her father's passing, nodding solemnly on the matter. "I never had the honour of meeting your father but I can sense that he is a great man, especially one who rose above his tribe to ensure a better future for you and others. These are indeed...

Scarce for the day, bye!

There was some amusement that lit up in Shang's eyes at the mention of Bishamon. Not that it needed to be said but it seemed rather obvious that Matsu (and likely her lineage) was blessed with this trait. "If you were all bad, you likely wouldn't be where you were, Matsu. Most certainly! In many way...

"No'm," he says. "Trip t' th' south, if'n I recollect m' lessons correctly." "Oh, uhm," Shang murmured before turning quiet with a tinge of red on her cheeks, that feeling of embarrassment of making a joke about something serious. "...If she can fix even this, these effects are powerful. Whatever t...
