Hantei Dave: All those tainted, raise a tenticle Keshijo: No innocent blood spilt by my hand... Hantei Dave: ok, wanna start up then? Keshijo: I don't think I've killed anything not tainted...

Hantei Dave: but he CONSIDERED it....no samurai heart there ^_- Togashi Udon: what, prejudist against innocents? They not good enough for you to kill?

Suzume Sousha: oooh wait Suzume Sousha: 22 Suzume Sousha: I did add the other 8 Hantei Dave: Udon: your Ise Zumi brother decides he better leave too before things get worse ^_- Keshijo: I smell the blood... Keshijo: Bah. 14. Togashi Udon: "Bye you little SCAMP! Be good!" Hantei Dave: He says, "Yo homey, I be outtie" Keshijo: I bow. Keshijo: And wonder about this strange Ise Zumi speech... Hantei Dave: He puts on his gold medalions and raps out the door Togashi Udon: Catch you on the flipslide homes! Suzume Sousha: :-) Hantei Dave: that'll be fun for a reread Hantei Dave: now we are back to basics Togashi Udon: May I cover the finger with a napkin? Hantei Dave: sure Udon KibagamiKuno has entered the room. Keshijo: Sitting in a restaurant with a finger on a table. That's back to the basics alright. Hantei Dave: Kuno: you are all killing the guards again!!!! Togashi Udon: I gag as Kesh sniffs the digit... KibagamiKuno: nani? KibagamiKuno: am not. Hantei Dave: hehehe KibagamiKuno: where is the guy? Hantei Dave: no no...he ran away fast Togashi Udon: Hantei Dave:speaking of which...the villiger runs in...says her name in a monotone voice, draps a finger...and bolts away never to be seen again Hantei Dave: and disappeared into the ether KibagamiKuno: someone want to tell me what the "new" version of events so far? Togashi Udon: see above Keshijo: Sitting in a restaurant with a finger on a table. That's back to the basics alright. Keshijo: Just about sums it up.... Hantei Dave: hehe Hantei Dave: no Ise Zumi..no nothing KibagamiKuno: Is it a woman's finger? KibagamiKuno: The ise Zumi already left, right? Keshijo: Someone claimed it was Habiki's/ Hantei Dave: you see no evidence to argue with the finger Kuno Keshijo: That doesn't mean it is. Hantei Dave: he left too Togashi Udon: Hey!!! i'm right here!!! Hantei Dave: rapping about something KibagamiKuno: Do we have an empty bowl? Hantei Dave: ehhehe Hantei Dave: Kuno: sure Keshijo: (ACK!) Hantei Dave: if you eat your rice KibagamiKuno: i put it upside down over the finger (it wasn't rice, it was Togashi Udon: the finger is covered by a napkin KibagamiKuno: shoot, i forgot what it was now... Hantei Dave: don't bother...it was rice ^_- KibagamiKuno: oh, then nevermind about the bowl. Hantei Dave: heheh KibagamiKuno: millet. KibagamiKuno: it was millet, that's right ;-) Hantei Dave: good enough Togashi Udon: kesh is sniffing it Togashi Udon: it=finger KibagamiKuno: Kesh, stop sniffing the table. Hantei Dave: and sousha went to the little samurai's room Hantei Dave: ..and wackiness ensues KibagamiKuno: "Looks like a sign - get out of town cause we know you're here" Hida Oku has entered the room. Hida Oku: <bow> Keshijo: Millet Smells funny... Hantei Dave: deep breath...one more time... Hida Oku: hello, everyone Keshijo: Hey Oku. KibagamiKuno: hida - summing up for you in im Togashi Udon: Oku! Keshijo: Keshijo: Sitting in a restaurant with a finger on a table. That's back to the basics alright.Keshijo: Just about sums it up.... Hantei Dave: oku: finger on table...all guests gone...no guards...no ninjas Hida Oku: of course Hantei Dave: (Oku stuffs his mask back into his sleeve) Hida Oku: :-D KibagamiKuno: hehhe KibagamiKuno: some days they have the best smiles on this thing. Hida Oku: ninja? What's a ninja? Hantei Dave: so, anyone want to take the finger? Togashi Udon: "I do not wish to leave. A Bearer is in danger, obviously hurt. My pledge was to you all, including those who do not walk our path." Togashi Udon: For all we know she did not leave us like we thought Togashi Udon: but was taken KibagamiKuno: "The tanto take their own road to our joined path. That tanto has crossed once, but not yet joined" Hantei Dave: (good fill-in SKip) Hantei Dave: ^_- Keshijo: So where to start looking? Togashi Udon: The Lady of Sercrets perhaps? Hida Oku: dave, I wuold like to create a painting when I have a chance Hida Oku: Udon, I'm going to send her a message Hantei Dave: Oku: you need a place to work quietly..not this restaurant in the city Hida Oku: true KibagamiKuno: "Would you tempt fate by slaying a tanto bearer?" Hida Oku: tonight, then Togashi Udon: A message in a Bottle? KibagamiKuno: "Let us continue on our journey north, quickly and quietly, Keshijo: I would like to see her, actually... Keshijo: There are so few of my people left.. KibagamiKuno: we can return to see her as the final thunder KibagamiKuno: " Hantei Dave: staying the night? or going north now? Togashi Udon: Kuno- "only if they are traveling with Oni's. And I have not seen any of us do that yet." Togashi Udon: Just your friend (wink) Keshijo: Udon, there was that one guy... Keshijo: Yes. Him. Keshijo: I still need to purify his body... Keshijo: Or he'll bother us agin.. Keshijo: again... KibagamiKuno: I do not think Habikki will be harmed, even if she is being used to threaten us, or ensnare us. Our course is clear, and it does not yet involve the scorpion queen. Hantei Dave: Sousha returns from the little samurai's room Suzume Sousha: yeay Keshijo: We should stick to the original plan if we don't say hi to Kachiko. Keshijo: Besides, the Hantei Keshijo: is too close to her... Hantei Dave: they are married now Keshijo: Revealing our plans may be KibagamiKuno: I agree, whatever your new name is -san. Togashi Udon: ...Information. I will be satisfied with some more information. Keshijo: a bad idea.. Keshijo: Shinjoten. And Kuno, you're talking! KibagamiKuno: (started talking a while ago, btw, don't recall quite when in the last game.) Hantei Dave: After Udon mentions wanting information, a drum beats loudly Keshijo: Yes, well, last game was erased... :-) Hantei Dave: you can hear it come down the street Togashi Udon: (I didn't do that drum thing!) KibagamiKuno: it was saved for editting heh Keshijo: I look out a window... Hantei Dave: you mean eliminating Josh KibagamiKuno: d - part of it is useful, part is not. Hantei Dave: A crowd from the restaurant gathers at the door with you Keshijo KibagamiKuno: "nani-o..." Togashi Udon: "Look, Kuno, I cannot leave with out knowing. Or atLEAST not TRYING." Hantei Dave: a procession of Pheonix samurai walk down the street...a drumer in the lead Hantei Dave: people clear a path KibagamiKuno: Who said you weren't trying? But it is unlike the dragon to rush into such things... Hantei Dave: A caravan room is being carried by 2 samurai in the center Togashi Udon: I thought I was the first Dragon you ever met? KibagamiKuno: we will be back soon enough, and hopefully we won't be expected and can gather evidence more discreetly. Togashi Udon: I'm hurt. Hantei Dave: Kuno and Udon talk without notice of the change in atmosphere ^_- KibagamiKuno: I have met many more since you. Hantei Dave: that's ok with me though Suzume Sousha: (is a caravan room those things that people sit in?) Togashi Udon: I thought you would expect me to run head long into danger by now? Keshijo: Can we see in the room? KibagamiKuno: Umm, udon, where'd everyone go? Hantei Dave: yes sousha Hantei Dave: Kesh: no Keshijo: Any Mons displayed? Suzume Sousha: only 2 people carrying it. . . I wouldn't want to mess with those 2. Togashi Udon: Especially to get us all thrown out---uhm... where did they go? Hantei Dave: Pheonix of course. Most carry the Shiba mon KibagamiKuno: I get up to figure out what everyone is staring at. Hantei Dave: SOusha: their hands are tied ^_- Togashi Udon: I pocket the finger, making sure to touch it through the napkin Togashi Udon: and go follow kuno KibagamiKuno: (heh, if we don't go to the phoenix, they come to us.) Hida Oku: I'll also follow kuno Togashi Udon: to continue whinning Hantei Dave: the processions stops in front of THIS restaurant...so much for Kuno's plan Togashi Udon: Man, Kuno, you're bad luck (whisper) KibagamiKuno: "heh, you have no idea" Hantei Dave: the drummer stops and the carriage is placed on the ground Keshijo: No Isawa mons? Togashi Udon: (Looks areound the restaurant--empty except for us?) Hantei Dave: Kesh: there is an Isawa mon on top of the drape on the carriage Hantei Dave: The Shiba samurai remain regimental Keshijo: Maybe Isawa Tadaka is here.. :-) Hantei Dave: in their gold and shiny red armor Hantei Dave: the captain walks to the drape, and stands next to it Hantei Dave: a female hand gently puches the drape to the side and he assists her out. Keshijo: I pay attention... Hantei Dave: You have seen her b4. It is Isawa Kaeda. Mistriss of the Void. Hantei Dave: She has a smiley on her face Hantei Dave: smile even Hantei Dave: :-) Keshijo: bow. Suzume Sousha: bow low Hantei Dave: The villigers look on eagerly Suzume Sousha: and I smile back :-D Togashi Udon: (whisper) Kuno, just do it. Its for her not you. <BOW> KibagamiKuno: <pause or a moment> Hantei Dave: She walks over to Sousha, Keshijo, and Oku KibagamiKuno: <bow> Hantei Dave: and Kuno too I guess Hantei Dave: hehe Keshijo: Err... Shinjoten... :-) KibagamiKuno: (awkwardly) Hantei Dave: yeah. Shinjoten Hantei Dave: She says, "Captain, can you please assure me some privacy. Arigato." She bows to you all Hantei Dave: She waits to be let in to the restaurant Togashi Udon: Move aside Hantei Dave: with less subtle eye movements KibagamiKuno: (is anyone other than us inside the restaurant?) Keshijo: I move.. Hantei Dave: She walks in carefully Hantei Dave: Kuno: waitresses KibagamiKuno: glare at them and see if they take a cue. Hida Oku: to the waitress.... "you may leave us" Hantei Dave: "But how will I order tea then?" Hantei Dave: Kaeda says KibagamiKuno: I go looking for tea. Hida Oku: you asked for privacy, my lady Hantei Dave: Kuno walks off Hida Oku: <bow> KibagamiKuno: any tea around? tea cups? Keshijo: Being a ronin, I start to leave as well... Hantei Dave: Kuno walks into the kitchen for materials Hantei Dave: Keshijo: a large Imperial samurai stands in your way Keshijo: I guess I don't leave. Togashi Udon: I'll gather Shinjoten. KibagamiKuno: "Her lady has requested tea, have you seen any?" Hantei Dave: he says, "I am Seppun Bake. The Lady Isawa Kaeda would have words with you." KibagamiKuno: Hai, Words. And tea. Hantei Dave: he leans into Shinjoten Hida Oku: hard to disagree with that Hantei Dave: "She knows you" he whispers Togashi Udon: Come on, Shinjoten, it is not often you are granted so great an audiance. Keshijo: I bow. "Yes honorable sir. I assumed a ronin would have no place here." KibagamiKuno: I return. Keshijo: (I type too slow) Hantei Dave: Kuno gets tea and cups and a serving tray Keshijo: I go back. KibagamiKuno: "Tea, sama?" Hantei Dave: Kaeda kneels down at the table Hantei Dave: and sits quietly Togashi Udon: Most honorable Mistress, your presence here gives us comfort. What may we do for you? Hantei Dave: Two Pheonix samurai come in and guard the door KibagamiKuno: (i'll awkwardly be transgender here and try pouring tea properly) Togashi Udon: (Motions for us all to sit) Hida Oku: Thank you, kuno Suzume Sousha: I sit then Hantei Dave: "Talk a bit" she says. "I felt you were looking for answers when I reached into the void." KibagamiKuno: Udon-san? Hantei Dave: sousha: roll WILL test...add diplomacy if you have it Keshijo: I sit. Togashi Udon: Hai, Kuno-san? Hantei Dave: Kuno serves everyone KibagamiKuno: I think your wish has been granted. Hantei Dave: awkwardly Hantei Dave: actually...Udon wants to perform no? KibagamiKuno: (he can, if he likes) Suzume Sousha: 13 I htink Keshijo: (oh no) Togashi Udon: Tea Ceremony? ok, if Kuno doesn't mind... Hantei Dave: Rishard: WILL+DIPLOMACY+3d6 Suzume Sousha: yeah that looks about right KibagamiKuno: I present the tray to udon rather than pouring, then sit. Suzume Sousha: no diplomacy for me Hantei Dave: no diplomacy? then bushido at -2 KibagamiKuno: "Sama, i have a question..." Hantei Dave: Udon: make your roll for tea ceremony Hantei Dave: She lifts a finger while Udon performs Togashi Udon: Kaeda-sama, Ise Zumi are not known for their skill in this, but it would be an honor to bumble through it for you. Hantei Dave: She smiles and nods Togashi Udon: The last person I did this for was Yokuni-sama. Togashi Udon: 18 Hantei Dave: "Then it is an even greater honor to follow his Lord Dragon." Hantei Dave: Udon begins the tea ceremony at a normal pace Hantei Dave: Sousha controls his animal urges the entire time Hantei Dave: for, she too, is quite lovely Suzume Sousha: perhaps some drool coming out occasionally but thats it. Hantei Dave: She sips her tea. The Emperial Guard, Seppun Bake, and the 2 Pheonix stand quietly by, Hantei Dave: she says, "Now Kuno san. What was on your mind?" KibagamiKuno: The lion only teach that honor is a path of rigid rules. What is honor when the rules are gone? Hantei Dave: She giggles a bit. "I am no oracle Kuno-san." Togashi Udon: Honor is what is beyond the rules, brother. KibagamiKuno: "Hai, but you have seen more than most." Hantei Dave: "Hai. I have seen much that eventually attains the void." Hantei Dave: "You should listen to Udon-san for advise in such matters" KibagamiKuno: "Then i will take that advice, even if Udon-san does suggest another mountain <wink>" Hantei Dave: what is Oku and Keshijo doing? Togashi Udon: This time we wont split up. Keshijo: Sitting back and watching... Hantei Dave: She smiles and sips her tea. Hantei Dave: "I understand..." Hantei Dave: "that you are looking for my brother, Tadaka." Hida Oku: just listnening Keshijo: I look up at that. KibagamiKuno: "Hai, we are on our way to see him" Keshijo: "Yes milady." Keshijo: "We are" Hantei Dave: "Of what recourse may I ask?" KibagamiKuno: "It was suggested by Yokuni-sama that we discuss with him the nature of these prophecies, KibagamiKuno: that perhaps he might shed additional light on the mystery" Keshijo: "We believe he has a great role to play in them" Hantei Dave: "I am afraid I lied. I did not know you were searching for him but realized you were not searching for me and sensed the desire to reach the Masters (Elemental)" Togashi Udon: "I fear I may have been looking for you. I think. Maybe. A little." KibagamiKuno: "Yes, there is much we do not understand about our fate and how it is linked to that of the empire" Hantei Dave: "How so Udon-san?" Suzume Sousha: (was she married. . . I can't remember) Hantei Dave: Sousha: you wouldn't know. Togashi Udon: "I have a couple of questions." Togashi Udon: "if you dont mind." Hantei Dave: "Hai" KibagamiKuno: dave - i might know something of it... Keshijo: (I think she was engaged to Toturi, as I recall from intro at the coup) KibagamiKuno: (yup) Hantei Dave: roll gen knowledge Kuno...-2...everyone else -4 Hantei Dave: oh ok...you do know then Hantei Dave: ^_- Hida Oku: 5 Hantei Dave: Sousha: she is engaged to Toturi...well, was Suzume Sousha: 13 KibagamiKuno: 17 Togashi Udon: "One of our number maybe in daner, and though our path leads to your brother, I cannot go on in good concience Hantei Dave: don't bother...i must have said it in a game Togashi Udon: danger KibagamiKuno: (yes, if she was in a diner, we wouldn't be so worried) Togashi Udon: without trying to find her or save her. I gave a vow to the Bearers (shut up kuno) Hantei Dave: "Very admirable of you I would say." Togashi Udon: of protections that extends to her. i am at a crossroads Togashi Udon: yet again. Hantei Dave: she blinks a few times. Hantei Dave: ...awkward silence.... Hantei Dave: "I .... Hantei Dave: "I am not sure of what you are asking Udon-san." Togashi Udon: "Neither do I, sometimes...hehe...(studder) Hantei Dave: She looks down at her tea. Hantei Dave: and takes a sip Togashi Udon: Uhm, howcouldwemaybelocateher? Hantei Dave: Seppun Bake: "Ummm. Do you have a lead?" Togashi Udon: (Looks at party) KibagamiKuno: "(sad) hai... shinjoten?" Hantei Dave: "I will place lookout for her in the area if you wish." Keshijo: "There is the small matter... Keshijo: "of the the... Hantei Dave: "..." Keshijo: "finger..." Hantei Dave: Bake looks at you oddly Togashi Udon: Udon lifts it out of his pocket Keshijo: And the peasent... KibagamiKuno: "we received a message earlier... loud and clear." Togashi Udon: wrapped in napkin Hantei Dave: Kaeda lifts her fan to her face Hantei Dave: She gasps a bit Hantei Dave: before you open it Togashi Udon: "Sorry, Sama" Hantei Dave: "That is....suprising." Hantei Dave: she says Hantei Dave: Bake offers to take the napkin Togashi Udon: Domo Keshijo: My apologies. Hantei Dave: She says, "You walk a dark path...like that of my brother." Togashi Udon: There is light at the end of the tunnel. Keshijo: "It is after the darkness that the light is most appreciated." Keshijo: "These trials serve to strength us all, and the Empire." KibagamiKuno: "Do you see him walking it with us?" Hantei Dave: She smiles as the lights in the room flicker on by themselves. Suzume Sousha: lights??? Hantei Dave: candles and lanterns Suzume Sousha: (ahhh ok) Suzume Sousha: (actually thats even more spookier) Hantei Dave: "Him? Tadaka, Kuno-san?" Keshijo: (I didn't do it) Suzume Sousha: Did you do that miss? KibagamiKuno: "Hai, sama." Hantei Dave: She looks at Sousha from behind her fan but doesn't answer Hantei Dave: "Tadaka is a busy man...but good. He means only the best and underneath, he is in pain." Hantei Dave: "Much like you." KibagamiKuno: "What does he seek for redemption from that pain?" Hantei Dave: "He is consumed with missions and feels...like he cannot rest until finished." Togashi Udon: I think we all can understand that, sama. Keshijo: "What kind of missions?" Hantei Dave: "He has searched his whole life for...The First..." As she says it, her eyes widen and the lights dim for a moment KibagamiKuno: (holy wind here, thunder there, he's been the rolling boulder three times this week...) Hantei Dave: roll lore all Hantei Dave: 20 passes KibagamiKuno: bleh. 14. Keshijo: 21 Togashi Udon: 20 Suzume Sousha: 21 KibagamiKuno: heh. i'm in the dark, swell KibagamiKuno: you all got lanterns, and i'm here under the candle that flickered out Hantei Dave: (ehhehe) Keshijo: "Why would he seek that of all things?" Hantei Dave: (where;s your sword skills now kuno?) Keshijo: "To destroy it?" KibagamiKuno: (useless in these matters) Keshijo: "Some things are best left to the Kamis." Hantei Dave: "yes...to destroy it. It has consumed our families history and now he seeks an end." Keshijo: "A noble cause. Perhaps I could aid him Keshijo: when these current matters are finished." Hantei Dave: "It takes his life more each year...He does not need help. He needs to let go of that memory." Hantei Dave: "Why do you seek him?" Togashi Udon: "We must remind him who he is." Keshijo: "The Oni? They are my family's enemy." Hantei Dave: She looks at Oku...oddly quiet. KibagamiKuno: Sama - i have another question... Hantei Dave: "Hai Kuno-san" KibagamiKuno: please tell me if it offends and i will ask no more of it. You know my history and origins, and you know the dark path we walk; what of Toturi? Hida Oku: anyone? beuler? Hantei Dave: Her eyes drop a moment KibagamiKuno: "I am sorry, please forget i asked." Hantei Dave: "He has chosen his path long ago I believe." Hantei Dave: "A great man...perhaps not as great as many would belive." Keshijo: "We all have flaws. It is what makes us human." Hantei Dave: She turns to Oku again and makes a confused face behind her fan Keshijo: "Toturi will redeem himself, I am sure." KibagamiKuno: "Has he a role left to play in this?" Keshijo: "He also has a role in all of this." Hantei Dave: She turns back to Kuno and bows a bit Hantei Dave: I mean Keshijo Hantei Dave: I mean..Shinjoten Hantei Dave: whew Suzume Sousha: shinjoten Suzume Sousha: :-) KibagamiKuno: shinjijo. Keshijo: (I should change my name again next week...) KibagamiKuno: (shinjojo?) Hida Oku: I am so confused.... why have you come to see us? Togashi Udon: (mojoshinjojo?!?!) Hantei Dave: She looks at Oku again a bit distressed. Keshijo: I look at Oku. Hantei Dave: I think I should leave now. Hantei Dave: "" Keshijo: I bow Keshijo: "It has been an honor, milady." Suzume Sousha: bow low Hida Oku: Please, lady... explain to me... I am only a simple crab Keshijo: "With you permission, we hope to seek your brother?" Keshijo: err... your... Hantei Dave: She stands from the table and Seppun Bake, and older man with the start of a greying thick moustache helps her Hantei Dave: She looks at Oku and says, Hida Oku: we must see your brother Hantei Dave: "Be careful of my brother Oku-san. He is very powerful and you seem to be hiding something..." She turns towards the door KibagamiKuno: <stand, bow a little better this time> Hantei Dave: She relizews she forgot to bow Hantei Dave: and turns to do so before leaving Togashi Udon: "To some crabs a shell is protection, to others it is a cell, honorable mistress. Thank you for your time." (bow) KibagamiKuno: (much better time in the restaurant than pissing off the guards) Hantei Dave: Seppun Bake "I will look into Habikki's matter." Hida Oku: <bow low> Hantei Dave: (I agree) Keshijo: "Thank you, honorable sir." bow. Hantei Dave: Bake: "Send message to me where I can tell you of progress." KibagamiKuno: "domo" Hantei Dave: He bows formally low and leaves Hantei Dave: the drums begin again Hantei Dave: Sousha goes to the little samurai needs a power cable for laptop room Hantei Dave: A waitress returns and warely collects the teac cups Togashi Udon: "Now we may go, Kuno-san." KibagamiKuno: "I'm glad we waited for that... heh." Keshijo: Off to see the wizard... Hantei Dave: which wizard? Keshijo: (ducks slap from Dave) KibagamiKuno: order of the phoenix. Keshijo: Yes Hantei Dave: Sleep tonight? Keshijo: Yes. Hantei Dave: No Kachiko? Hida Oku: make a painting Hantei Dave: you need rooms KibagamiKuno: what, in this town? Togashi Udon: And Kuno, I am Nebiki has rubbed off on you. But even she realizes that silly ceremonies still serve their purpose. Togashi Udon: i am glad Nebiki--imean KibagamiKuno: which is what? to mock people with false ceremony? Keshijo: "They put people at ease... Keshijo: "surround them with the familiar." Togashi Udon: it is not mocking if you do it out of respect. Hantei Dave: do you people have money? Hantei Dave: (most are running low) Togashi Udon: is the pesent mocking you when he bows? KibagamiKuno: It is quite paradoxical to think that the people worthy of respect would need it through ceremony. Togashi Udon: of course, what else would ceremony be for! KibagamiKuno: They should already know they have respect. Suzume Sousha: I think I do though I don't know how much KibagamiKuno: But if they require it to keep up pretenses, then so be it. Keshijo: That is a good way to see it Kuno. Hantei Dave: it is still quiet in this restaurant Keshijo: Comfort is hard to come by. Hantei Dave: only one waitress Hantei Dave: and gotten dark out Togashi Udon: Kuno, ceremony is nothing more then easing insecurities. I am glad you are a secure Samurai, but the rest of the Empire is not as advanced as you. KibagamiKuno: If i have learned anything in these past few months, tho, it is that our own honor has nothing to do with our past, with ceremony, or with our rank. It is only our actions from now into the future. Suzume Sousha: I will treat you all to food if you are hungry. Togashi Udon: Well, I am glad you learned something. Togashi Udon: Stubborn Lion (wink) Hantei Dave: sousha: you ate...sleep now ^_- KibagamiKuno: Feh. I am no more secure than the next samurai, and probably worthy of less, but for the sake of your comfort, and that of those we meet, i'll keep up the ceremony. Suzume Sousha: ok Keshijo: I go for a walk. KibagamiKuno: (ok, good, got that out of the way, now i can go be an honorless but respectful samurai heh) Togashi Udon: Well, in that case Kuno, for the sake of my comfort, will you also make my bed? And rub my back? Hantei Dave: ok keshijo KibagamiKuno: Ecchi. Hantei Dave: Udon ^_^ Togashi Udon: hehehe, try not to go over board Kuno, you'll lose yourself. KibagamiKuno: (actually, it's one skill i probably should have learned - samurai are supposed to know shiatsu, it's origin is actually from samurai) KibagamiKuno: I go practice on Udon. Hantei Dave: you know...enough to pass you as a physical therapist Kuno Togashi Udon: OUCH! Hantei Dave: a not so great one KibagamiKuno: -2 KibagamiKuno: :-) KibagamiKuno: heh, i try to remember all those shiatsuey things they taught me in school. Togashi Udon: If you break my back I will fart in your general direction! KibagamiKuno: You'll have to teach me the pressure points for that one, monk. Togashi Udon: hehehe Hantei Dave: (teach him Bladder Point 1) Suzume Sousha: :-) KibagamiKuno: hmm, udon, is it HERE? KibagamiKuno: nope, well how about... heheh Togashi Udon: So, we goin or what? OUCH__NO! KibagamiKuno: no, we're sleeping heh Hantei Dave: sorry if i am quiet all...some private conversations here KibagamiKuno: ok, we'll go have some too Hantei Dave: just keep fighting like little geishas Togashi Udon: fighting little geishas---where?!?! KibagamiKuno: Heh, would you know what to do with one if i caught her for you, Udon? Bladder Point 1 won't go over well... Togashi Udon: I don't know. I havent kissed a girl since Jikata KibagamiKuno: (have you told us that story yet?) Togashi Udon has left the room. KibagamiKuno: DOH! Hantei Dave: hehe Hantei Dave: he passed out KibagamiKuno: my victim, err, patient left Hantei Dave: SOusha is here Suzume Sousha: yey Suzume Sousha: er . . . nay! Suzume Sousha: :-) KibagamiKuno: Hmm, is it raining out? Hantei Dave: no...clear...dark night Hantei Dave: small moon Hantei Dave: 5 minutes people...gotta finish up here KibagamiKuno: k Togashi Udon has entered the room. KibagamiKuno: Sousha - want to feel better? I know some shiatsu... Suzume Sousha: yey Togashi Udon: sorry crashed hard Suzume Sousha: your lab rat has returned KibagamiKuno: Aha, he's back - lay down. Togashi Udon: anyway that night udon told the story of the bodhi tree Hantei Dave: still that night ^_- Togashi Udon: ok, Udon tells Kuno & who ever is there about Jikata. Suzume Sousha: so . . . yeah Togashi Udon: so...whats up? everyone but the 2 tainted ones dead? Suzume Sousha: I was waiting to hear that story. :-) Togashi Udon: :-) Hantei Dave: sorry skip...some privates ^_- Togashi Udon: Well, if everyone is content on story time, Udon will tell his "Lava" story. Hantei Dave: ^_^ Hantei Dave: please email josh and rishard skip ^_- Hantei Dave: oku and keshijo are missing Togashi Udon: I dont have it here, sorry :-( Togashi Udon: we'll post it later Togashi Udon: essentially it is a tale of a lesson about trust and teamwork. Suzume Sousha: I think we all trust each other asnd have good teamwork Suzume Sousha: therefore it could be a story about sus KibagamiKuno: now that we've heard the lava story. Hantei Dave: almost done hee Hantei Dave: here Togashi Udon: It is a tale written for us. I thought it would be nice (as a player) to build upon why Udon was chosen to carry a tanto... so it is another peice of the puzzle KibagamiKuno: don't keep giving us pieces of the puzzle, BE the puzzle. KibagamiKuno: "zzzzz" Hantei Dave: OK...next day Togashi Udon: HUZZAH! KibagamiKuno: [STRETCH] Togashi Udon: Udon shows Kuno the 5 stances of Niten. Suzume Sousha: lets eat :-P Hantei Dave: you all eat and move on KibagamiKuno: Kuno spends each rest stop tinkering with the stances, trying to figure out how to fight from them. Hantei Dave: ^_- KibagamiKuno: He asks udon lots of "something like this maybe?" Togashi Udon: First, you'll have to correct me a bit Togashi Udon: yeah, like that Hantei Dave: where are you all going today? north? KibagamiKuno: hmm, it is hard to think of the swords as moving separately, when in the past my hands move with one mind. Togashi Udon: Mirumoto said, "A Samurai's duty is to protect his lord. Can you not see that two swords is better then one?" Suzume Sousha: Inless other people think otherwise why not just continue on our path KibagamiKuno: continue on the yellow brick road to the wiz. Keshijo: "Why use swords? There are other ways." Hantei Dave: that would be the palace Kuno ^_- Togashi Udon: I maybe better help with the philosphy perhaps. KibagamiKuno: I keep playing with it. Hantei Dave: ok Hantei Dave: so...you continue north until someone says otherwise...into and beyond the Emporer's city KibagamiKuno: (whew) Togashi Udon: ugh Hantei Dave: k Hantei Dave: you all walk for a few days without much trouble (dave skips ahead) KibagamiKuno: (yay skipping ahead and not playing out the entire trek! ;-) ) Suzume Sousha: :-) Hantei Dave: hehehe KibagamiKuno: i keep practicing these stances and the shiatsu. I'll also try applying the stances to single sword combat. Hida Oku: hey, everyone! Hantei Dave: dave goes to check map KibagamiKuno: A log pop's into an oku. Hida Oku: (Oku comes back) Hida Oku: <he needs a nap> Hantei Dave: hehehe Hida Oku: Where in the hells are you leading me now? Hantei Dave: did people want to do things while journeying Hantei Dave: ? Keshijo: I keep practice with my naginata along the way. Hida Oku: practince CLIMBING! Keshijo: er practicing...

Togashi Udon: that is his old families castle, sousha Suzume Sousha: hmmmm Togashi Udon: so... Hantei Dave: you all also pass the Emerald Champion's castle...although no Emerald Champion resides anymore Hantei Dave: under Doji control Hantei Dave: now KibagamiKuno: (anyone want to practice sword fighting?)

Hida Oku: I'll practice with hand-to-hand Togashi Udon: i'm up for that oku Hida Oku: or, hand-to-sword, in this case Togashi Udon: oh...you need a sword? Hida Oku: nope Hantei Dave: The Crab and the Bear Hida Oku: but I want to fight someone with armor KibagamiKuno: no, no wooden swords, haven't found good enough wood. Hida Oku: using only my hands Hantei Dave: ok...wanna roll out a duel now? Togashi Udon: and i wanna fight someone good, but we all cant have what we want. ;-) Suzume Sousha: bamboo Hida Oku: fool! Let's fight! Hantei Dave: one sec one sec Keshijo: You both want to fight me? Hantei Dave: Kuno vs who? Hantei Dave: Keshijo AND Sousha? Suzume Sousha: ooh KibagamiKuno: shrug, ok Suzume Sousha: that would be cool Hantei Dave: if you want you can do that Keshijo: 2 on 1 has no honor. Hida Oku: udon vs oku Hantei Dave: it is just a game Keshijo ^_- Keshijo: I will sit out and watch. KibagamiKuno: This isn't a battle, it's practice. Hantei Dave: ok..Kuno vs. SOusha Hantei Dave: take your positions Hantei Dave: Sousha: he is using a sword..real one Suzume Sousha: doh KibagamiKuno: you should use a real sword. Hantei Dave: make your void rolls you 2 KibagamiKuno: just don't cut hard. KibagamiKuno: 32 Suzume Sousha: u could keep it sheethed KibagamiKuno: The qualities of a blade are important in a fight Suzume Sousha: how do I do that void thing again? Hantei Dave: VOID+PERCEPTION+3d6 Suzume Sousha: oh ok. Suzume Sousha: 22 Hantei Dave: Sousha: tell Kuno your stats in private Togashi Udon: Well, Crab, we gonna tango or are you gonna jump around?

Suzume Sousha: dodge then attack. Can I declare that Hantei Dave: so no attack at all? Hantei Dave: you can't win then Hantei Dave: he goes first regardless Suzume Sousha: very well I will attack him straight out. Hantei Dave: ok..kuno attacks KibagamiKuno: (and you'll have to dodge that attack, regardless) Hantei Dave: roll kuno Hantei Dave: roll dodge Sousha + WATER KibagamiKuno: 38 to attack Suzume Sousha: 24 Hantei Dave: Kuno's sword rings against Sousha's but he oddly managed to block it Hantei Dave: SOusha attacks Hantei Dave: roll attack + fire sousha Hantei Dave: Kuno must roll dodge Suzume Sousha: 25 KibagamiKuno: 30.
