The Day of Thunder

Y'all're welcome t' ask. At this point, ain't worth keepin' secrets no more.

Thanks for being a friend.

I enjoyed our first thread and then Akutou’s internal surprise at Kumori being Kumori.

I admit to it being a struggle at times to understand what you were saying!

Was it ever hard for you to produce it?

Me, too!

Honestly, had I thought of it, I'd've given Akutou Obtuse. Rustic hick just does not get a whole lot of stuff.

Oh, no.
No, no, no.
I come by my drawl honestly, having lived more years than not in the Texas Hill Country. It creeps out when I'm tired, but I hear it often enough in my daily life, it's just spellin' it like I hear it in church pews and at the next table over at th' local Mexican rest'raunt.

Kumori stole my question! So I'll just say sorry we didn't hang out, I was sticking a little close to my comfort zone this game. Next time!

Next time, indeed!

Naraku absolutely loved Akutou.

What were your thoughts about him? Also remember you need to come to the Hiruma lands, maybe marry a nice Hiruma lady!

About Naraku?

Solid guy. Still think poison ruins the meat, though.

And as far as the Hiruma lands...perhaps in postlude fiction?

Maybe the next character will be the fruit of such a union.

FORM QUESTIONS INBOUND!

1. That he wasn't as scoundrely as I'd thought. More "learned shifty shit to not die" than the originally thought "learned shifty shit to get over."
2. Mostly, the damned dice. But dice will be dice.
3. The revelation of Kumori during the one event and the "oh, shit, I backhandedly propositioned the Princess" thoughts.
4. I do feel I could've started the underworld investigating earlier.
5. He doesn't know it, really, but he's one of the many bastard children of Otomo Gusai. It's part of what made his ocean-phobia so distasteful to his Family.

We didn't have a real scene.

But, I was happy we could signal without words and kill the Emperor's enemies without any fuss.

That being said, if he's a bastard of Gusai and phobia: ocean, what are his plans after all this? Surely his family would probably see his participation as a boon.

Had he done more, they might.

He's got Black Sheep. The Otomo couldn't quite cast him out, not with Dawei having taken him as a student, but they view him as a failure.

Akutou's opinion is that he didn't make enough of a difference here for them to revise their opinion.

Depending on how goals fall out, he may get some semblance of settlement with them.

For now, though, he's going to go back to Stag lands to report, and then he expects he'll be back on patrol for a while until he can avail himself of Naraku's invitation to Hiruma lands. I might have some Epilogue in me...
