The Day of Thunder

Sora was there, crouched low, his teeth gritted into something suspiciously akin to a grin. He hated to admit it, but he was still far better at this sort of thing that the more satisfying work that had occupied him over the last twenty years. And he was a fair bit faster than the little Nezumi- mea...

Sora could potentially Lucid Dream somebody's Agility up to help them sneak.

(He also has a Kharmic tie to Kumori, so if she joins in, I won't be needing a self-boost to hit things)

Sora did what he always did in these situations.

He held the line, standing fast against the forces of the enemy until he was clear to fall back.

Assuming he wasn't Harbinger chow, Sora set out. The forest failed to mislead him, but Sora failed to zero in on the sounds.

Assuming the Harbinger hasn't utterly kicked his ass in an earlier thread, Sora decided to act a runner. And true to form, despite being one of the oldest samurai present, he was also among the most tireless. [Classic "should have called both Raises I was capable of" result Athletics/Stamina for Get...

Sora moved like he did in his dreams, a terrifying fluidity- and the names on his armor and daubed onto his skin seemed to glow faintly, like moonlight through mist. His sword flicked out, and almost delicately split a cup open, spilling the liquid onto the ground. [ Lucid Dreaming TN 20 to jack up ...

Loss. Failure. Alone. Death. Suffering.

Not today, shitheads, not today!

But Sora had to admit... one thing about the ritual still worked for him.

It was fun cutting these things apart.

Sora kinda wants in, or he could hang back as an atlernate

Need to see what he can cheesedick with Lucid Dreaming...

Sora stood in front of one of the homes, hackiing down any effigy that got close with ruthless efficiency. His swordsmanship wasn't particularly pretty, but every strike seemed to remove an effigy's limbs, at the very least. In addition to the names on his armor, he had daubed others onto his face a...

It had been an absolute bastard of a week, and the next day would decide it all... And he wouldn't even be there to see it done. It made the prospect of getting to sleep... difficult.

And getting badgered into babysitting grandbabies, don't forget about that!

He likes kids, he'd volunteer for that

"Yeah, that..." Sora frowned, then shrugged. "Imagine, Hisomu-san, that you are doing something you've done once a year for the last five years with no apparent ill effects.
