"I'd 'magine so," Akutou says as he glances around again and resumes his seat. "An' I don't envy you gettin' t' make it, neither."

He sighs.

"How d' you do it?" he asks. "How d' you stand havin' t' be th' one ev'rybody looks to?"

"Th' short version's that th' Champion o' Jigoku manifested here, and th' folks gathered here were t' fight it," Akutou says. "Hiruma-sama here's one o' them as was picked f'r the fight, proper. An' it seems he won it--they won it. "A number o' others fought th' Champion's herald, an' they seem to'v...

Poor, poor Toshigure.

That was a dark time for the Lion Clan.

Weren't most times?

*sighs nostalgically*

Anyway, getting to be time to say

For the most part though, school's make better duelists. Making it more viable for duelist schools to participate in combat, and combat schools to participate in dueling is what i mean to address by changing iai. Not just half of it. Because as it stands with design... Iai might as well be somethin...

"Most like, yessir," Akutou affirms. "But a body does hafta get back south f'r a bit first," he adds. "Th' O-Iemoto'll wanna know things, an' ain't a whole lotta folks know how t' find 'im even when he's in his studio." He produces a cup and fills it, then places the full cup on the ground. "I's 'bo...

That being said, if he's a bastard of Gusai and phobia: ocean, what are his plans after all this? Surely his family would probably see his participation as a boon. Had he done more, they might. He's got Black Sheep. The Otomo couldn't quite cast him out, not with Dawei having taken him as a student...

"Th' Emperor's here?"

Akutou starts up, looking about in something that looks very much like panic.

"Might not be able t' make a quiet exit, after all."

He gave the man a light bow as well ''Stag heh? I don't see a lot of you in the north normally. I am Mirumoto.'' he reached down, a knee aching to get a bottle of white, milky liquor. He handed it to the southern man ''Be careful lad, even the Crab get drunk on this stuff!'' Seeing the other young ...

Why a gaijin?
Why *this* gaijin?

I'll echo the thanks of many, all well deserved.

How do the branches of the willow spread in this new season?

''You, young man, you look like someone who deserves to quench his thirst'' "Don't know 'bout deservin', sir," Akutou says, tipping his hat as he approaches. "But I ain't 'bout t' turn down th' chance f'r it, neither." He sketches a short bow. "Otomo Akutou." Naraku, despite his lithe frame, was fa...

FORM QUESTIONS INBOUND! 1. Biggest curveball Akutou threw you? 2. Biggest curveball the game threw you? 3. Favorite moment? 4. Biggest missed opportunity? 5. Any secrets Akutou has that never came up? 1. That he wasn't as scoundrely as I'd thought. More "learned shifty shit to not die" than the ori...

Is there anything you would have liked to have done with the character that you didn't get to do? Hmmm, good question! Surprisingly, probably not, she got to check in on her family, offer some advice, beat some people up and even talk to Shiba. Good results there. What about on Akutou's end? *laugh...

To what do you give credence?

Why that particular child of Doji?

Matsu, what is best in life?
