If you ever feel up to it, I'd love to see your takes on some of the NPCs, like the Kami and Shosuro and whatnot.

We'll have a poll like this after each arc. Other fashion will have its moment!

He nodded. "She will wake if she hasn't already. She will need recovery time after this."

He raised his eyebrows, the slight hint of amusement returning. "I believe I understand," he said with a nod. Togashi had never been one for standing on ceremony. "However... you get to tell your mother that."

shiba bowed, as well, smiling warmly. "I'm lucky to have you in my life, as well, Kumori. I couldn't be more proud to have you as my daughter."

The final main poll: international relations. In 25 years, what cultures does Rokugan know about (that we haven't established they know already)?

Your choices are unlimited for this one. Follow up polls will determine what the relationship is, if any.

The most important poll, obviously.

You may choose up to three options. The results will dictate what fashion inspirations are popular in 25 years. Obviously they don't know what those countries are, they're shorthand for the look.

I do want to make note that The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is also one of the earliest stories one could read as science fiction. It's not that out there. To put it another way: I wouldn't list something in the poll if I couldn't make it work.

Whatever people vote for is good in my book.

Magic poll!

Guys, please. I am okay.

I know everyone is concerned and has their own ways of expressing it. Everyone's feelings are valid here. So let's all take a breath.

I know my reactions to things this game have been troubling for some. I'll be doing my best to keep it together going forward.

I'll be creating a few polls that'll be common post-arc polls. This is one of them.

This poll with run for 3 days.

"It is appropriate for a spouse for you," he agreed with a nod, wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "Clever and well thought out, but also beautiful and poetic."

"Your mother will wish to arrange a public wedding."

"I do." He smiled slightly. "A key skill for someone joining our family," he noted, the slightest tone of amusement in his voice. "What were the riddles, and how did he answer them?"

The light of the sunrise dappled through trees to light up the shoji screens on the headwoman's house in Blue Lotus Village. But here, there wasn't much of a village left anymore. Most of the people were gone. Their homes, like the few people left, were preserved in the pristine stillness of memory....

She nodded softly, looking down at her hands as he offered her support. "And with him gone, they will need someone. I might be him, but it wouldn't be right if someone didn't pick up and continue the work. Even if it is in their own, imperfect way. Thank you, Shiba." There was a sigh and she looked...

"You, too," he said, coming over and patting Naraku firmly on the back, then heading over to a chair. "I see Kanna isn't with you."

"Oh?" He tilted his head, curious.
