The Day of Thunder

Sleep and alas, will be scarce again on Sunday.

"Hm! Do you suppose that's something that was served earlier in the festivities? There were so many drinks and local foods, I don't think they had much time to explain what they were or what they were made from, only that they were delicious and good for you," she chuckled. "They weren't wrong but i...

Shang chuckled softly at that thought, "Thank you, Akodo-san. I suppose that sort of inspiration is rather obvious. In a way, the fates have hit me on the head on my likely subject for my next great piece!" Soon with a sigh, she shook her head wistfully. "Truthfully, I'm not so sure if I could be so...

And she made her return to the village, her walk back made her rather cautious about branches that might be mistaken for hands reaching out to her and the voices that she thought she heard...

(OOC: Thanks for the scene!)

sleep and will be scarce for most of tomorrow, take care!

"Oh, no, I don't mind talking about my art at all!" She chuckled softly at the question. "Showing it might be a whole different matter entirely as you've caught me on short notice. My art is painting and artful speaking. I'm a bit away from home at the moment and abroad, so I make do with charcoal s...

"And it seems there's only so much of the surrounding wilderness we could see before we either run into something less than savoury. With that in mind, I think I'll be heading back to town now and see if I can get something to drink prior to the festival to loosen up a bit. But yes, you'll see me ar...

That didn't make a large amount of sense to Kenji, why leave when you had obviously spent years in the building of this place just to wander? Of course, he was no expert on these kinds of things, so he just shrugged instead. "That could be it." He offered after a moment. "It's hard to say any which...

"I have a lot of time, Jiyo-sama," she smirked before her good humour faded a little as she looked around her surroundings. "But maybe not right this moment, of course. I don't know if these woods are friendly in the slightest and it'll do better to tell tales while sitting. Maybe even over tea?"

Shang chuckled at that and nodded. "I'm sure not everyone might be a fan of stories from the past, especially told in repetition. It's about finding your audience and knowing what they like. Of course, you have more than a few children to pick your audience from. Of course, you're more than free to ...

Shang's offering for today!

Garden May Cause Drowsiness (Mid Afternoon)

Despite being warned about the strange oddity present in the gardens, Shang's curiosity got the better of her and she meandered out to the Sleeping Gardens in the village. She admittedly didn't know what to expect and found herself easily distracted by the stream and pond that was installed here. It...

Shang wandered into the gathering without the faintest clue of what was going on at first. However, her interest lit right up when it seemed like they were building effigies. Effigies have always been a curious tribal practice and something she had heard about from her elders when they wandered the ...

Shang walked with a saunter. Yes, a saunter. She wasn't in a particular hurry to go back to her tent and figured that this would extend her evening a little to get some further information about both the village and a fellow visitor. She glanced around to take in her surroundings and nodded at Akuto...

Shang widened her eyes for a moment when Kenji mentioned the forest, nodding slowly as she considered that possibility. After hearing the voices there, this was something that sounded like it was a possibility rather than just a fun muse. "...Aha! How quaint that you would wonder what happened to th...

"It's endearing to hear that you haven't lost your adventure even after settling down to this budding idea of civilization that we're enjoying today. I'm sure it's a better life now for them than it was before, although I'm sure they would fair just as well with you around and punching those who nee...

Not a bushi but I suppose I am curious! For the Day 1 Purification of the Mind event, when rolling the third part of the attack roll, would attack bonuses from schools and items apply here?

Thank you!

Shang let out an abashed chuckle at Aoyama's keen observation. "...ah, well, we're still guests here and you're the hosts. It's been really wonderful that you've been able to accommodate us on such short notice and share your plentiful stock with us. The least I could do is be the least amount of ha...

"I'll be sure to owe you a drink and have one in its honour much later when I get a cup in my hand. Or sooner, I'm not picky when I can honour that toast," she chuckled. Shang looked pensively at her surroundings, her gaze going left and right and then to the paved ground itself. "I suppose it's not...

Up later than I thought..good night!
