The Day of Thunder

Blankly, Hikaru nodded. "I see." He said. He didn't actually see, not really, but that was the proper thing to say. He cleared his throat. "Did you travel alone to this village? I had the honor of travelling with Lady Makime, in fact." "Yes, I haven't yet come across any sign of a spirit or anythin...

I'm doing the at work dance.

I'll post when I can.

snip snip snip] "I know when t' bow to greater expertise," Akutou says. "An' I'll admit t' havin' more t' learn." Kenji gave a respectful nod to the other man as he left. "I was just trying to get things started." He said with a light chuckle. "I never professed to being an excellent shot. I expect...

snip snip] snip "Looks like you get to keep your bu after all then." Kenji said with a shake of his head as the other archers bowed out of the competition. "Seems, your clan picked well when they made you a sensei." He moved forward to collect whatever small prize he might have won and offered it t...

"Akodo Kenji, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Being Burned by My Dragon Wife"

This sounds like a horror story.

Maybe I should consider other options...

"Well, if you three want to start gambling I'll likely bow out." Kenji said with a shack of his head. "My shot was a bit more luck than skill after all." He continued offering a smile at the children, who were most likely thoroughly impressed with the display they had just witnessed. "And I don't wa...

Kenji was busy making his own adjustments to camping arrangements, though nothing quite a drastic as the Hisomu was currently engaging in, He'd borrowed a shovel from a local farmer and gather some rocks and was currently in the midst of making a proper firepit for the lion area of the encampment. M...

"A lot can be made of a little. It's hard to say if the cricket was alive, or even far away in that kind of story." He offered a smile to the pair before making his way towards the stand. "Still, it's nice to have those type of stories around, and could be one of us might hit all bullseyes in this f...

"I can't say I'm a bad shot either. Being on the smaller and frailer side meant it was always more emphasized in my training than the blade. Not sure what exactly a 'shootist' is though; Not a term I'm familiar with..." The woman did look a little like she was going to fall over any minute now with...

Aren't there some steps between now and then I'm missing?

Like "The Three keys to not getting burned to death by your dragon."

Akutou's ears perk up at the talk of archery, and he makes his way over. "There shootin' goin' on?" he asks, clear interest in his voice. Then he sees who's there, touches the brim of his hat. "Miss Reiko, ma'am." And a nod to the other, the one with the sweet potato, another touch of the brim. "Ot...

"If I'm right no one would of told you." Kenji offered somewhat vaguely. It would just go poorly for the villagers if they talked after all. Spirits could be like that after all.

He shook his head. "But it is good to meet you Doji-san, I'm Akodo Kenji."

"I see Makime-sama intends to pick up at least 3 spouses this year." Like all Generals I send forth the pawns to do the dirty work. Perhaps I should check my fellow Lion's marital status. Whoever puts out the most building wins the hand of the Dragon lady? ... *notes to burn this Lion first* "I've ...

"And I'm more of a swordsman by trade." Kenji replied with a polite nod to the woman that had made her way over. "But I've been known to hit the bullseye more often then some." He said to the children, perhaps not wanting to disappoint them completely.

"I see Makime-sama intends to pick up at least 3 spouses this year."

It really is a miai!

I told y'all it was a secret miai and you thought I was foolin'.

Welp. Even more reason to burn it all down then!

Whoever puts out the most building wins the hand of the Dragon lady?

Kenji looked up at the sound of someone calling for him. At least it was likely for him. "Good morning, Doji-san." He offered after a moment with a bow in return, turning to the bat to over another to her. "Ryoshun-san." He continued.

"My apologies if I disturbed your conversation."

Having snagged a roasted sweet potato from one of the food stalls, Kenji made is way slowly towards the festival games, it had been a while since he had played any after all, and it might not be a bad way to spend some time. Eventually making his way towards the archery stand. He wasn't an amazing s...

Well, Makime-sama had managed to arrive to this festival without any armor, so Kenji decided to follow her lead. Despite the fact there were likely trickster spirits in attendance, and the possibility of some sort of faceless woman. He was armed though much like the other Lion having been unable to ...

This garden was weird, and its presence in the small village set off some sort of weird alarm bells in Kenji's head. After all no self-respecting small village would put so many resources into such a thing, not when it could be well maintained farmland. Not to mention how it felt so serene and peace...
