The Day of Thunder

"I would take the lead on drilling those who can already fight, Lady Makime," she commented firmly. "Courage runs through the blood of my family. We face the darkness without thought of running, and if I could inspire those here to face it, I'll have considered it my duty." Confidence surged through...

"And there's nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with hard work, there's bound to be plenty of it in the next few days! I'm sure you'll have much to go around too," she said as she looked around at the work in progress. "I'm sure that there are some of us who've managed to build a rapport with ...

"No. That's Saru Ranmaru." Matsu shook her head, speaking up. "Who himself is... interesting." The Amazon continued, then looked to Lady Makime. "I agree. Strategic deferment to your expertise, and that we council and act as a unified front. And Lady Otaku, thank you for your wisdom, and prudence," ...

Matsu's nose itched. She was already well on alert, with the wrongness of the place. Her hands tucked into the sleeves of her kimono, and the Amazon stalked through the garden.

She felt at home in her armor, patrolling in the dark. Her grip on the haft of her bisento was relaxed. The Amazon could make out the other two, one specifically by the gentle light that he set off.

"All quiet so far." She spoke softly as she joined the other two.

Matsu found herself lost for words, noting the way Shang shifted the conversation. Her mind was usually on Battle, or preparing for Battle. The comment made lingering in the air, "I know I'm not strong at convincing, except maybe by being... mean about things. I'm sure there are others who are bette...

"Enemies of the Empire will be dealt with in brutal efficiency. Pa told me stories of when he was a bandit lord. Before the Kami... how when someone betrayed the Noriaki, you didn't just deal with them, but everyone they associated with. If they could tolerate a traitor, they were traitors themselve...

"I'm sorry I missed it. I'd have enjoyed taking it down." She punched one fist into the palm of her hand, firm determination in her words. "Lady Makime, as the leader of the Spider Armies, I would ask that I be allowed to serve as your second. Leadership has been a wonder to read, though it doesn't ...

"I'm more interested in getting stronger than taller, Lady Anjing," she smiled sheepishly as the final Daimyo arrived, instinctively flexing her arms before regaining the seriousness of the moment. Her deep, dark eyes focused on Makime, listening intently. "We don't have an army here. The Spider hav...

"I was a child when I first knew of you. That'll be a hard habit to shake, Lady Makime." She inclined her head, a bit deeper than the other woman did to her. "There's nothing to be sorry for. There's some shit going down, and wasting breath discussing it repeatedly as everyone else shows up is a was...

The Amazon arrived, bright eyed and bushy tailed. Her hands were tucked into the sleeves of her Kimono, but the unusual thing was her hair was fully down, rather than tied back as per usual. The length of it reaching down to her rear. It seemed in her desire to arrive to the meeting early, she opted...

She pondered for a moment. "Music can be louder than shots. Maybe there is a place for music on the battlefield. If you can't hear the commander, maybe the Flute or drum..." she pondered, keeping her eyes on Shang's. "That might be more than amusing, Saru-san." She grinned as the other woman giggled...

Matsu would bow her head in kind, letting her Flute rest gently in her hand as she looked down at the pale Dragon. "Art, and fanciful things aren't silly. You need them the most when things are at their worst. My pa was a brute and a bear of a man, but he still cherished playing his Flute, or taking...

Matsu is very good at keeping watch

Okay, but day watch, night watch, or forest scouting?

Though I guess Matsu's answer to that could very much be "Yes." or "Not or, and."

Yes xD

But what do we need most?

At some point, Satsuki will post a list for people to fill out in the Imperial Camp, after Goju's Meet-and-Greet. There is absolutely no need to volunteer for any of these things, and everything is completely voluntary! Just post here if you sign up for any of these (maybe a springboard for scenes ...

Matsu had been there when the meeting was called, despite the player being stuck at work for all of the first part of the day. Sora took a breath and let it out slowly. "Twenty years ago, it was not skills, nor practical accomplishments which led Shinsei to select the party which went into the Pit t...
