The Day of Thunder

Ooooh, so I was curious about one thing specifically. Who was the voice whispering in Yukara's head in the Thunder selection scene. Did she have a haunting or something?

So, funny story. When I got tapped for Nozomi to play out the "Selection" process the way that Shinsei had in Game 2, I went hunting for little tidbits of story from previous games. That was when I ran across the scene where Wu Zhe and Satsuki were having a ... disagreement about how the burning of ...

I loved both of your characters. You gave such a detailed story into how Matsu grew as a person, full of the burning confidence and solidarity that she always displayed in the face of a foe. She ended up going a more brutal and pragmatic route than the canonical one, but a lot of her still reflected...

I was planning to ride Reo until the wheels fell off and instead he got healed. Whouda think? lol, I've started to realize that sometimes the ones we expect to die end up surviving until the very bitter end. Sakkaku and the game are so unpredictable. What would you say is the one thing above all th...

"She's already done so much. Get her some rest," she said with kind affection. "I... am glad one of the Nezumi could stand with us. I hope our bonds can stay strong in the years to come." At least... considering the Ongaku and the Nezumi? That hope was seeming to stand strong.

The door rustles. Reo is there with a pot of rice porridge. "You should eat." He sits down in silence. After a pause. "You'll always be welcome to visit Spider lands so long as I'm there. You did Susumu a kindness too." He sits again awkwardly She took the porridge with a small smile and looked dow...

So, I definitely enjoyed Kumori a lot. At first, Nozomi was not sure how to handle her, but she could absolutely identify with one thing that the girl felt. Twice in Nozomi's life, she was sidelined (As I OOC always knew she would be. It was intentional that she would never enter Jigoku, and I gave ...

I'm always a little sad when I say goodbye to good Lions. I play such dastardly souls that they rarely spend time with the honorable ones. But I will say that it was nice to see Kenji develop in the short time we had them. What do you hope to leave behind as his legacy, as one of those who gave thei...

I do apologize that we didn't get quite as much time as I'd originally planned, given your storyline. But it was an interesting one. I love Name Magic and the idea of losing one's name. So many ways to play out the Man with No Name. I'm also extremely glad that Genji was on board with this. Those sc...

Hikaru Tribe Fist-Bump FORM QUESTIONS AWAAAAAAY! 1. Biggest curveball Nozomi threw you? 2. Biggest curveball the game threw you? 3. Favorite moment? 4. Biggest missed opportunity? 5. Any secrets Nozomi has that never came up? Had life been more accommodating, I would have loved more of them rehashi...

"I know," she whispered softly and sighed, reaching up one hand to run through her hair. "I will always remember the good times. Thank you." Honestly, it was... nice to know that one or two knew her secret. Even if not most.

So, thankfully I was able to be here despite some health difficulties and the additional requirements of real life. Nozomi's been a blast to play for three games. One of my longest term characters in these play by post games.

Feel free to shoot any questions you might have.

She looked at her friend forlornly and smiled. It was a somber, sad thing. "They will try to tell one of those tales, but while I have hope, old friend. We both know the reality. However... I will make sure that the story told of him is as kind as possible." Future generations, however, she could n...

"A useful trick to have. I haven't had it for quite some time. Ever since I crossed the Seido that once, no matter how I try to pretend otherwise, I find myself at the center of something or another." It could be infuriating. "If I allowed myself to envy something, it is that freedom."

-snip- She knelt low to him and murmured softly. "Of course." Even as much as she knew that Shiba was a decent soul, she was always nervous around the company of the kami. They were far beyond her imaginings. "Thank you for taking the time. I... wish the news I brought were more positive, but there...

-snip- "The exact direction will depend on some things out of my control. I must speak with Shiba." This was a known fact. She would have to give him an account, and that conversation might involve a decision on his part. "I May be returning to the south. But first, I must see what the Emperor will...

-snip- "For some of us," she said a touch ruefully. "The path finds us. In many ways, that is what happened to me. I did not find the path, but it found me. I ... am not the equal of the Teacher, and never have been. At best, I am a pale shadow to what he was during his life. But, if that is what I...

Nozomi wasn't exactly avoiding this conversation, but she was emotionally exhausted and physically drained. However, there was an unavoidable reality that, with the Imperial Legions here and Shiba himself here, explanations would need to be given. Others would be at the Emperor's ear. She had to do ...

-snip- She winced and then nodded, giving him a smile. "I was his first student. He was and is a good man. What they slew... it was not him. He fought the darkness to the last, but even the Teacher is a mortal like all of us." She closed her eyes and shook her head. "But they brought him peace. The...

-snip- It had been a lifetime. She looked over at him and sighed, rubbing at her eyes and just looking a little tired. "We made it out. It is done. The champion is cleansed. For another thousand years, our children will know peace. It cost us, but... at least there is that." She sounded very tired ...
