The Day of Thunder

Thematically, Sora, assuming he's alive, would go in after Kumori and therefore would probably be available to rescue somebody else in the process.

"Pleased to meet you, Dai Lu."

He started idly pondering nicknames- and wondering just how many weddings the Day of Thunder would usher in.

"Seems to be a day for Names."

Sora took the scroll and read it over.

"The Wu family will encounter no opposition from the Imperial Families in this matter. And I know Wu would be proud of you, kid."

For the 'Surprise Party' combat with the Harbinger, do we know our positioning vis a vis her and her ATN? And it sounds like for now she's alone?

And to piggyback this, should Alternates roll their Initiative now for ease of bookkeeping?

"We never had a choice in the matter before. We'll do it now. And one day... they might still remember our names, but they'll get all the details wrong." She smiled to herself.

"Fun, hell, about damn time you kids stepped up!"

He grinned through the pain, then, still cradling to little Nezumi, gave his old friend a nod.

"I reckon you'll get it done. All of you."

"Hm?"

He glanced over and nearly did a double-take.

Wu Zhe in the Imperial Camp?

It really was the end of the world!

She nodded once, grimly. True, she strongly suspected that her ability to involve herself was nothing more than supportive.

He managed a half-smile.

"So. As the oldest of the damn kids going into that mess, look after the little ones, hm?"

"It will be over, soon, old friend. I will take them to him. That... is my place, it seems. To watch it happen."

Being grouped isn't as big a concern since we get a surprise round we can use to spread out
