Re: A Perfect World, A Perfect Nightmare

"Since when do any of us ever have much time?" she growled with a shrug. "You'll have to forgive me, but as dangerous as you no doubt are and as much danger as I might be in right now? It dawns on me." Her gaze locked with the Harbinger. "Why would you be trying to convince me to take an offer if y...

"I've just been watching the dreams of the people here," she replied with a smile. "So you will seek it on your own terms? You only have... hmm... Day and a half left?"

Re: A Perfect World, A Perfect Nightmare

"It probably says as much of my dim view of myself," she said, her eyes narrowed. "So, you are aware of it. I am surprised it has not involved itself. I imagine you are aware of all that he is aware in that case? That's useful to know." She had assumed that if he became the Champion, he would witho...

"Ah yes, the trouble that plagues poor Shosuro-chan. She's doing her best," she said, amused. "You think he wouldn't forgive you just for wanting your husband back? Or thinking the world still needs Shinsei? What a dim view you have of him."

Re: A Perfect World, A Perfect Nightmare

She turned her gaze towards the woman and raised an eyebrow. There was a sigh and she regarded them with as level an expression as she could, a pained element in her tone. "You're not who I expected, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised." She focused herself, folding her arms. "What I want is not...

A tall woman appeared in her dream, smiling. She was elegant, but all stone and green flame. A figure she knew. "You're saying you don't want him back?"

Re: A Perfect World, A Perfect Nightmare

Her eyes narrowed as she visibly folded in on herself. She had hope. Ukyou had insisted that she keep hope. Her fingers flexed and she scowled. She wanted to reach out, to take hold of it. But she also ... knew better. "If you're out there, old friend, don't taunt me. Whoever, whatever you are? Go ...

But it was possible, no matter how remote. It could be done.

She could gain the power to do it herself.

She just had to take it.

A Perfect World, A Perfect Nightmare

Nozomi's perfect, ideal world is a nightmare. It is a cruel, sick joke because it is something that feels like it should be possible. In it, she sees Togashi Satsuki and the young, one-armed Ryoshun shugenja standing firm and tall, utilizing their combined mystical power, as Matsu holds back her hu...

No pressure at all, old man.

Also, I'm very proud of a question Nozomi just asked. Hahahaha. Maybe this will be visible later?

"If he can be saved, then he will be. But I will do what I must, if needed, too." She gently placed a hand on Nozomi's. She wasn't dumb, and could read between the lines, but she also wasn't rude, unless she was pressed. "I promise, Auntie. Hope springs eternal." "It does... and knowing that you wo...

At first, all she finds is a poem. Do not mourn for me I will be in the sunlight Watching our treasure She notices, though, there's a little ink bleed through from the back. On the other side of the paper is a note: Find the best of me in them. It must be you now. As she read it, her hands shook an...

“Sure. If it will help.” She nodded. Nozomi's eyes glowed a brief glow, flickering somewhat as she stared directly at Kumori. Her gaze is penetrating as if she were trying to see directly into the woman's being. "Relax a moment. I will attempt to see into your nature, to know what your strengths an...

"You're fidgeting, old man," she said mildly, smirking over at him. Fuck, he was as bad as she used to be at this, but ah well. She knew that. "What I want for each of you to think carefully on is the nature of what it is that makes you most afraid. You can make the pretext that you're not afraid no...

Re: Looking for an Old Crow - D4 ME

Nozomi might have been unfamiliar with the set-up of this tent, but she was intimately familiar with Shinsei. As she started to rifle through his possessions, she went for where he would hide things, just in case they needed to be found. Her hands hunted around for somewhere that they might have hid...

-snip- When the flap closed, she narrowed her eyes and grunted as if to herself. "Ironically, I haven't even succumbed to temptation and been here since we came to this town. I almost regret that." Admittedly, this was no time for regrets, however many she might have had under the circumstances. St...

Re: D5 - EA - Childrens' Games and Self-Reflection (Wide-Open)

Finally, Nozomi's eyes opened after a long silence. She bowed to those who had come and sighed. In truth, she'd spent most of the day in seclusion, silently contemplating events and what she knew already. her eyes were cold, steeled, because they needed to be. She unfolded from position and rose. "I...

He sighed, signing in the new Rokugani sign language. I don't know. He seemed to figure something out just before he woke up, though. Something about purity, honor, and mercy. She frowned visibly and her eyes drew together in a knit, worried expression before she sighed. "If you have any idea where...

Re: Past Lives Pavillion

Little bit late to the punch, but why not? The days of me being nervous about my old reputation are sort of long behind me at this point. I'm kind of used to people who know me just sort of watching me like a hawk and saying "Ok... is he evil this time?" Nozomi's been a reprieve, haha. Winter Court ...
