The Day of Thunder

"Nine Clans, well, that's me out then." Sora grinned. "So what the hell am I doing here?" She sighed as she listened to Shinsei and then glanced at Sora. "There will always be work for us to do. Destiny takes many forms," she could admit. "Yes, we are here to make sure that they succeed, are we not...

'Would it be weird to say some of my fondest memories were on the verge of hell?' It would absolutely be weird, and she absolutely wasn't going to say that. Then again, her smile turned a little warmer and she mused to herself as she thought about some of the memories of more recent years. "The edg...

"It happens more and more, the older you get." Soju allows her words to linger for a moment before continuing. "We can speak more later. For now, I had best get to my performance, before I am drowned out by the fireworks." "Heh, it's more of a natural talent of mine, aged to perfection. But of cour...

"There are a few happy songs," she replied, somewhat warily. "There were times for celebration among my people, despite our situation. Marriages. Births. Important festival days." Soju made a familiar warding gesture with one hand. "And a great deal of sad ones, as well. If you know about the Shoji...

"After today, you will still not have heard them," she says with a smirk. "I have only been a Scorpion for a few years. All my songs are passed down, or made up, or learned from others. The Scorpion only care that I sing, and few of them are any good at writing music." She gave her a careful look a...

'Her father's daughter, no question. I imagine she could smooth over any conversation, just like he used to.' Definitely not one of her gifts, even if she was much better at 'behaving herself' than she used to be long ago. "A pleasure for me as well. I will definitely say, I meet all sorts of peopl...

"No," she said, shaking her head. "I am a singer, and little else. To be honest, I do not put much trust in priests of any sort." 'From the little I remember? Can't say I'm surprised a few would not trust them.' Of course, Haka had never been entirely clear on all the details, or maybe she'd been t...

"We give up a piece of ourselves when we take up the path, searching for the truth. My talents have always laid, even after all this time, in other pursuits. He has the eye for talent and me? I'm good with a story, living off the land and ... heh, grinding flour." She patted one of the tonfa at her ...

"Good. I don't want to see anyone ruining things by running around and shouting about the end of all things. Festivals should be times of celebration." She made a vague gesture to the musicians behind her. "I am preparing to sing once everyone is ready. It should be entertaining, so please hang aro...

Soju inclined her head in greeting. "Thank you. I'm Haka Soju." She lowers her drink, holding it with both hands. "I've heard that there are a few of us around. Are you hear for the festival, or the epic battle of destiny that so many are expecting?" "Haka... that's a name that brings back memories...

She chuckled and nodded. "We do it all the time, as Nanzi-sama says. It's our little pleasure. I learned at the Teacher's feet, so sometimes I do the same thing, though I am not really as good at it as he is. But as for this? It is possible to know a soul destined for greatness, but that greatness c...

"Yes, and greatness comes in many forms," she could admit. "Even if fate favors you in its own unique way? Yours may not be a fate that is that of the Thunders. Nothing is truly certain, and we are not bound by fate. Not with chains. We are all on the river of this life and its currents merely guide...

Soju drifted over to the musicians, preparing for her second performance of the day. Someone had pressed a cup of something warm into her hands, and since they didn't look like her daughter, she assumed it was safe to drink. A bit bitter, perhaps, but it would keep her warm until it was her time to...

She listened to them, nodding after a moment. "Seppun-sama was a good man. We didn't talk much in those days, but he was as brave as any, and quiet in what he did. he did what had to be dun," she said after a moment. "If he sent you, then you're where you are supposed to be. As for what day it is......

-snip- Reo offers a little shake of his head. "The stories about Taoshu...they get me. Oh, he would have liked them, no question. But I was there at the end." Reo pauses. "Some parts are better off unsung. All those others were better than me, and I got away because I limped away with a bum leg and...

There was a momentary discomfort. She always preferred to focus on the stories of those who traveled with her, but there was no harm in the tale any longer. Enough years passed that she knew a few stories of her exploits followed. "I might have a recollection of following a few of my distant kin and...

"Old Man Yamadono. Felt like he'd always be around..." Sora sighed. She nodded and sighed a little. "Nothing can last forever, no matter what we might wish." Such was the way of things. "A good man." -snip- "I... like to think he still is, in his way, and where he is." Admittedly... where he was no...

Holy. oh how that would have been an interesting thought to Nozomi. She never really thought of herself as such. "I've gotten used to there always being something holding me back from seeing what's in front of me, at least not far past my hands. Sometimes, I just have to walk blind to get where I ne...

Gotta love them shrooms.

"In other words, business as usual..." "Business as usual. Second verse. A little bit louder, a little bit worse." She snorted once, shaking her head. "He's been more quiet than usual..." "It's good to see that some things don't change." Reo leans back on his stick, rocking slightly to keep the blo...
