The Day of Thunder

So what was it like having all these damn kids around? Sora honestly loves the younger generation. He sees them fucking up, and plenty, but he's ultimately pretty sure they'll be an improvement on people like him :lol: Also now that Sora is much older, him seeing the kids of his old companions, the...

[OOC: Not sure if this is open or not, and will delete if asked] Nobody would ever confuse Sora with being casually devout. But nevertheless, he approached the shrine with the air of a man who hasn't slept at all. Indeed, it would be safe to say that his being awake was a major achievement. He blink...

Shiba reads the report, his eyebrows slowly climbing higher up his forehead despite his calm expression. After a moment, he looked up at Sora. "... This is... interesting." "I have tried to be dispassionate in the writing, Boss. As I tried to be mindful of Shinsei's guidance we received on our firs...

She nodded to Sora. "We'll do our best."

"You'd better. Young people not grabbing happiness where they can sets my teeth on edge..."

In three games, I think Tadaka was the one who most got to know Sora. Glad I did. Thanks for all the scenes.

Heh, well.... Sora really liked Goju/Tadaka, and he was deeply amused by the jellyfish thing.

I did often wonder if Sora had Foresight or Lesser Prophecy, or something else for his Inner Gift since he got all them fancy visions. I guessed Foresight in Dawn 3, and chose it for Satsuki for similar reasons, but... guess not. :lol: Yep, it was Foresight, since I was cirbbing off of Dune when I ...

Hah, *fist bump of the Hikaru* Team Hikaru represent! So, after all this time? Any regrets? You had a hell of a run. Sora could have gotten into more fights, since while he wasn't fully optimized, he was a TOUGH goddamn bushi. But at the same time, I didn't want to hog combats, since bushi often sp...

Cats, Dogs, or both?

Yes.

I LOVED Sora's threads with Yukara, so... not a question, but there's that! BEWARE THE DREADED FORM QUESTIONS! 1. Biggest curveball Yukara threw you? 2.

"Anything I can do, let me know."

A pause.

You schemer. Honestly, Ohta would be open to that. She respect Sora and the Imperials and such.

I mean, no commitments or anything

But I always planned for Phi to marry a pair of Spiders, and having an actual name for one of them would be a helpful step forward

"All that he did before the darkness may take him. I'm glad that there are those who have not forgotten. I will help the Empire remember." She would end up making it her life's work, it seemed.

"Just remember one more thing, while you do that."

Sora leaned close and whispered into Nozomi's ear.

That's what form questions are for! FORM QUESTIONS INBOUND! 1. Biggest curveball Otaku threw you? 2. Biggest curveball the game threw you? 3. Favorite moment? 4.

As I noted when I MMed his dream, I think you got an awful lot of pathos out of the guy, considering his baseline "gimmick." Like, genuinely, well done.

Sorry he never got to do a proper combat?

Sorry we didn't get more time, but as you say, irl-no-oni was in full bloom. Granite continued and continues. And will possibly be a little envious of Sora's long life, as Kyosei isn't close enough for that to happen. Sora's going to be weirded out by it. He's already lived longer than most Hikaru ...

Oh yeah... sheet reveal time! You would think, four games in, the guy would have hit IR 3, but no, because I love burdening my PCs with self-sabotaging expenditures that go nowhere. Jiyo Sora (family bonus is from Hikaru Tribe, however) School/Rank: Ronin (Forest Killers technique)/Jiyo Bushi 1 Insi...
