The Day of Thunder

While Shang liked to contemplate and appraise the beauty in the world, she unfortunately couldn't quite notice anything afoot in the Festival. It was perhaps for the best that she was more concentrated on the refreshments and food that was being offered around here. "Another pour, please! This wine ...

"Rock-sensei? Oh, you speak of Shinsei and his rock, I suppose? Did he always carry the burden of a rock? You'd think that as a storm crow, he'd have a totem that would allow him to move a bit faster. Perhaps a feather or even a bird of sorts?" She tapped on her chin in thought. That muse aside, she...

"-san is fine too, or just Satsuki. I'm not usually too picky with my fellow kin, as we are like a family, yes?" she offered kindly, not wanting to have that distance between those who were fellow Dragon. Some insisted on calling her by formal titles and it always felt a little awkward. "I'll try t...

Stop Children, What's That Sound? (Mid-Afternoon)

The undrinkable river was just one of many spots around the village and Shang wasn't going to let that bit of downer prevent her from exploring the rest of the county. With her bow and quiver, she ventured out to see the rest of the wilderness to see if she could get an idea of what was truly going ...

Shang was rather tardy for the event but she was here nevertheless. It seemed much of the day was about Shinsei's appearance and the ominous fog that she nearly forgot the actual feature of the village, the Festival! Her gaze darted about as she took in the sights while navigating through the crowds...

"Or maybe the warm season ended and they moved on from this land. Wasn't it just recently when many tribes decided to stop going nomadic and settle in parts of the Empire? Such progress sometimes resulted in a shuffle and adjustment across the land," she shrugged with a faint smirk on her lips. It s...

Shang gave Satsuki another small smile and dipped slightly in something of a bow/curtsey to show gratefulness for her interest. "Thank you, Togashi-sama. Your enthusiasm is well appreciated by this one. I paint too, of course, but my time on the road hasn't quite afforded me the environment or comf...

Shang placed a hand on her chin and nodded slowly to the information shared by Sakuna. Admittedly, the topic of magic had gone over her head on the matter, the intangible elements that she was more familiar with were more philosophical than anything else. "Ah, it makes me wonder what happened in the...

"Really?" Satsuki seemed oblivious of any markings that Shang might bear from her artistic pursuits, but rather very interested. Maybe not unexpected among the Dragon these days. "I'd love to see some of your works some day. This place will no doubt provide you will several interesting vistas, if l...

For a place that had something that they weren't supposed to make use of, it seemed like it was a rather popular spot. Shang did find herself momentarily glancing around the area to see if she had inadvertently stumbled on Shinsei's next public 'performance' but it was perhaps the river itself that ...

"I think I heard that the water drown from the village well is safe though, but so far I still have some water left from outside the village." Not much but something, enough to make another batch of tea if needed. Satsuki listened with great interest to Shang's observations, nodding thoughtfully at...

Shang held up a hand to show that she would decline the offer with a small chuckle. "Oh, no. I think I can fetch my own water from the river, thank you very much. Supposedly, there is some water to drink in the village but I can't say that water exactly is on top of my thoughts after hearing so much...

Shang grimaced at that thought from the Crab, "So I see...I have to hope that isn't the case, considering that must be rather inconvenient and something that's a bit horrifying when it comes to imagery. A very evocative picture, however. It makes me wonder if that's a fable that's been told around t...

"Ah," she nodded. Not that she had much coin left herself from her long travel, but if Shang needed it she wouldn't mind parting with some of them. "I don't think it's in his style to ask for coin so directly, from what I've heard. But yeah! The stone is a curious piece, I agree, hmm. Do you think ...

As Naraku was filling up his vial, Shang would wander out to the river after the morning ceremony to get more of a lay of the land. She narrowed her eyes momentarily to see the man there and try to get an idea of what he was doing. Shaking her head, she tsked a few times to get his attention before ...

"Ah, good morning. I hope I'm not blocking your view?" the tall girl inquired with a friendly smile. There was a small smile that made its way to Shang's lips before she dipped down to a respectful bow at Satsuki. "Good morning, Togashi-sama. No, I suppose you're not. We make our own view and I was...

Shang meandered out onto the field and let out a big yawn but perhaps stopped midway when she saw a crowd of people before her. Well! She wasn't expecting a sudden audience before her this morning! It would have been nice if there was some forewarning before something like that was sprung on her. We...
