The Day of Thunder

The smile widens, and Tae-soo bows, even though still holding the fishing rod. "Happy to see you again, friend. Hope you've been well, despite... " He gestures vaguely with one hand. "Been meaning to ask... this fog, it looks, feels unnatural. Would you know if there something specific that's causin...

He's up faster than a drop of sweat could drop to the ground, looks at Ha-yeong. Had this... thing done anything to them?

Then, looking outside. Was there anything outside the tent?

Something here!

Apparently there the headmistress had invited everyone to her home for... something. A party? Dinner? It was bound to be important... but from the last two days and some conversations, he wasn't sure he trusted the villagers a lot. And there was Ha-yeong... going with him might put him in danger, de...

The Water always knows what touches it, the water always knows what it touches. Being aware of one's surroundings and the signs around might be an obvious lesson, but it was one that was ingrained into most everyone in the late Mosu village from a tender age. So when something touched the small pool...

Just to be sure, someone who hasn't showed up for the evening event probably also does the 'unexpected visitor' event, right?

And I'm assuming also gets a -5 TN to social rolls with locals?
Thanks!

To be fair, from skimming the thread, I honestly don't know if there are more shugenja that heal than Nao. Satsuki said she didn't - and I don't know if Tai heals or just rejuvenates. Hence my offering a somewhat open-ended question rather than just spamming Nao's inbox. That said, I will just poke...

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 ...

On the D3 event - did everyone get invitations to go to the headwoman's house or something of the sort? I'm trying to figure out why Tae-soo would be there, and whether he'd take Ha-yeong or be wary to. Also if we decide not to come - you mentioned it would count as failing in the event. Would that ...

It's not super applicable to a largely wood-based endeavor like stakes and palisades, but it could improve anchoring them. So, a little bit. That makes me wonder, what would wood fall under? I assume something multi-elemental, as a living thing, but maybe mostly Earth and Water? Snip Tae-soo is cam...

"Up with you boy. You bend over like that you'll fall asleep in no time. Just 'Anjing' will surface." She shakes her head, the younger generation, so polite all the time. "I don't like all the calm. It shouldn't feel as right as it does, it's like the whole place is meant to be comforting. Makes me...

The two Haka kept quiet during the whole thing. Both of them looked with great interest and surprise at the Yuzuru's attempt to reach through other realms - Tae-soo slowly making some sense of what those were supposed to be considering the stories heard among his people, Ha-yeong apparently understa...

It is a normal fish, as are the others he catches over the morning as far as he can tell. (OOC: You're good. Up to you how you want to do it.) (OOC: Can we assume Tae-soo prepares the fish and eats it, say, EE or ME on D2 to avoid any weird retcon stuff? I can create a thread for that if it helps. ...

Maybe it was the fact that the trip here took so long, and so much had changed since the incident. Maybe it was the sound of the river - even a traumatised river that he had no idea how to help. But somehow, the last two days in this (decidedly weird) village didn't feel more stressful than the week...

This second ritual again seemed to have some things in common with themes present in the rituals of his people. But again, it had relevant differences - and those were enough to feel troubling. Finding his fear was not exactly easy. There was a general feeling of uneasiness that made it hard to pinp...

"Among... ruins?" The young man is visibly confused. "I... somehow felt this village was more like the towns we went through since... since the incident. More than like where we come from. But from what you say, its traditions come from something ancient? I had thought it'd be simply them keeping th...

The younger one keeps behind the tree while the others speak, although 'hidden' is not quite the right word as one eye and most of a head pop out from time to time to look at the group. Tae-soo meanwhile relaxes, at least in part, as Tai says they're friends. He bows again to Satsuki, then the other...

Once he casts, it isn't long before he gets a pull on the line. He'll pull without hesitation, as he's used to. Take a good look at the fish. Does it look normal? If so, he'll say a prayer to the river and the fish's spirits, place it aside for a meal later, and cast again. (OOC: As it took me a wh...

"This village is too suspicious, that's what I think", he answered. "As Haka Soji-san and I were discussing, the headwoman is hiding a great deal. I wouldn't call her a bald faced liar, she's very sincere, but she likely doesn't even understand everything about this ritual...or if she does and I re...

A young man in strangely patterned robes and a younger one with similar garments eventually appear walking from upstream. "Oi, Tai-sshi! Nice to see you again", the older one says with a friendly wave followed by a bow. The younger one follows suit, but keeps silent. Looking about and seeing the oth...
