The Day of Thunder

Kanpai!

Agreed on all counts.

Yes, thank you for taking the time and effort to look into this. I might be able to kick in a little. Not much. Disposable is kind of tight for us these days, but either way it sounds like you guys have a plan in mind. Thank you for the time you put into this.

Orokos' situation was unfortunate.

Heh. Will Shinsei's crow start following her around now? Or one of her children? So, that is a Baku question... but tehre were implications in one of her conversations with the old crow that hinted he might be checking up on Mayumi from time to time. Which, given the Hooded Ronin? Sort of makes sen...

He supports her more firmly, the hand solid and grounding. "That is true. You will never be him. But those blood-soaked hands hold their own knowledge that is unique to you, Nozomi-san. There are things only you can teach. You don't have to be him. You have to be you." "Perhaps it is not so much th...

Ah how the years have passed. It's genuinely nice to see a few of us sticking around this long even as the years change. I've loved watching this all play out slowly but surely.

"What we did here was good. The strength that you showed was monumental, Nozomi-san," he said gently. His large hand touched her back with a gentleness it didn't seem capable of. "The world lost much, though. Shinsei. Wu Zhe. Akodo Kenji. Even, for whatever else she did, Wu Dai Lu. The Empire is sa...

Sounds good to me.

*laughs* I am sorry we didn't have time this game. We've done a lot in past games, but life has been throwing me a bit of a lemon this month. Still, it seems like you had an interesting character that a lot of folks enjoyed. I'm glad you had fun.

So, I am open to discussions on my Minor Goal with Nozomi. The secondary actions she will take in the short run could go in a very wide different set of directions. My Major Goal will be that Nozomi will spend her life working to secure the Tao of Shinsei's place in the Empire, so that its reputatio...

"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." "Here with his legions," she said, giving him a little easing motion to suggest he relax. "Don't worry. He hasn't made any summons yet. I've heard...

Yeah, I was super happy when Nozomi got to step in as the new Shinsei as it were. It felt very Dawn-verse... inclusive and lovely and great. Kumori was pushing Nozomi towards it IC a day or two before it happened, and I the player was super excited when it was revealed that was what was going to ha...

Shiba closed his eyes and nodded. "I see... His loss is a deep one." "Jigoku knew how to harm us. It tried to take one of your siblings, and it chose instead to claim something else precious to us. It is its way. His loss is a tragedy." She sighed and shrunk in a little. "I... learned one of his le...

Nozomi slipped in amongst the others with an old, tired smirk and nodded towards the Bayushi when she did. "One of these days, these old gatherings of warhorses from the mountains will come to an end," she said with a rueful grin. "But not before these bones are gray and shattered. I guess you can t...

I want Nozomi to be the Little Teacher, that's all I want. No more living in the shadows for you. But seriously, I am glad to see her play a pivotal role and as always a great time to have her here. Given that her Major Goal is to Preserve the Tao's place in Rokugan in light of Shinsei's fall, she ...

Oooh, I have to admit that "Doji Dreamers" does sound like an interesting approach to developments in the clan, given how much more active in the spiritual realms the entire empire is (and especially the Crane). So, this may be something that can be really developed over time.

Given the Thunder selection post I am really sad Nozomi and Naraku did not interact more. I absolutely adored reading your posts. I do regret that a little bit. The two had just enough of a similarity in their pasts, however distant she was to that past anymore, that I think there could have been s...

He sat down next to her. "Of course. Please, take your time." Rising slowly, she settled herself into as comfortable a position as she could, her lips set in a frown. "I... do not know if you were made aware already, but the Day of Thunder is now come and gone. The Champion Jigoku sent against us h...

"Compared to what you've seen? What you just dealt with ? It was a kami blessed paradise." Reo leans back. The comforting patients had never been his strength, but Nozomi (always Phi to him) was an old friend "There were a few of fetish things, but we had them in hand. Things were dangerous but com...

Hah, *fist bump of the Hikaru* So, after all this time? Any regrets? You had a hell of a run.

I just thought I would step in and say that I've loved both your characters. Nanzi was such a wonderful addition to the game. His story was magnificent as it was all-encompassing. Hah, i know that Nozomi and he never really got along that well, though that had so much to do with her being about as h...
