The Day of Thunder

"I am aware of that weakness. I acquired a bit of jade for my experiments, perhaps I could bind the jade to the concoctions and bypass their resistances. My blood also helps on that regard; it makes poisons be more insidious, more difficult for the body to reject. I hope to catch lightning in a bott...

Naraku studied the man before nodding in agreement "We do not seek to be praised, or even rewarded, for our efforts. Some might prefer to hide their heads, to speak of empty platitudes like honor, while this insidious enemy spreads and saps your strength," his tone seems to carry a thinly veiled hat...

"People enjoy calling anything a curse," he scoffs. "Perhaps at one time I also thought the same. But no, this is not a curse. It is a weapon to turn towards our enemy. The only enemy that matters." "But I doubt you came here to skulk around and do a courtesy visit," he eyes the man with caution, wa...

Naraku eyes the Spider with caution. He isn't surprised that the man knows about his gift, after all the Seekers are known as some of the greatest spymasters of the Empire. "You're wrong though," he sighs as he leaves the vial on top of his workstation. "It is not only my blood. All of my fluids are...

Her words ringed true, no matter how he didn't like the sound of them; he didn't know why he had that gut feeling and why he had changed his course to visit this village. "Why do you say tricked?" he commented in a low growl, eyeing the person with mistrust.

The voice startles Naraku, making him quickly turn to the source with his hand on the hilt of his sword. He relaxes after seeing it is Reo, albeit he still seems wary. "I was not aware that it was customary among the Spiders to walk into other people tents unannounced," he commented. He is still hol...

Naraku groaned at her words. "It's not about etiquette, the man is clearly meditating, I just..." he sighs. "I don't know what to say to Shinsei."

"Fleeing people rarely leave things in good condition. It seems more probable that they left with intention to return," he shrugs. "Now as to why they never returned, well, even before this time the land was not safe. Priests always pride themselves about their magic, but magic takes time to cast an...

Naraku makes a mental checklist of which plants he will search as he waits for Enrou to lead them to the garden.

Naraku is too focused on his wagashi.

"Thank you for your assistance," he lowered his head in gratitude and followed the man.

"I wouldn't know, by the way," Naraku spoke as he walked inside. "I did not travel with the clan here. In fact, I didn't know there was something happening here.."

Naraku observed the reaction, taking mental notes of what had transpired. He shook the flask gently, trying to stir the liquid whilst keeping an eye to understand what is happening.

[Poison/Int = 20]

Naraku cringes at the misplaced note. This is exactly why he ABSOLUTELY hates musical performances. He takes another bite from his wagashi - not that he likes it or anything.

"Many reasons why they would leave. The food ran out, they were chased away by another tribe, they decided to move to another place or they simply died out," he shrugs. "Many times the explications are rather mundane."

snip Anger flared once more in Naraku's eyes. He wanted to answer, tell her that she knew nothing of his motives or about his story, but all was cut short when she decided to call Shinsei so casually. Naraku wasn't particularly pious but even he knew who the man was. He stared dumbfound at Kai "Wha...

snip "My poison will never be turned to those that are pure," he replied coldly, his eyes flaring with fleeting anger. "And do not mistake yourself Kai. I do not derive pleasure from the pain I inflict. I derive pleasure every time one of those stories , as you put it, becomes undone. Hopefully the...

Naraku's eyes widen when the Bat arrives, his head going once more to Anjing's words. Was she some kind of witch? He is shaken away from his thoughts when Enrou finally appears but before he can speak the Bat cuts him off. "I take you are the healer of this village? I apologize for the early arrival...

"Water that erases memories is not a sufficiently interesting topic?" Naraku shrugs and turns to look at the river. "Let's just say it is a gut feeling. The air of this place feels strange," he turns back to the Dragon. "But that isn't news. I'd say there's enough samurai here to make most courts fe...

I wouldn't mind

Hiruma Naraku wandered through the camp towards his tent. He had searched for a secluded place where he could be alone with his thoughts and where he could perform his research in peace. He had found that in the edges of the camp, away from the bustle that comes with such accommodations. As he enter...
