Togashi Udon: too

Hantei

city I've seen from a distance...real wachy buildings that light up at

Hantei
Dave: (don't ruin my
vision)
Togashi
Udon: ok
Togashi Udon: a
long cape
Hantei
Dave: i'm really pulling for
this job in Sarasota right now
Togashi Udon: cool
Togashi Udon:
when are you gonna go for the interview?
Hantei
Dave: haven't gotten any word
yet unfortunatly.
Togashi Udon: we are pulling for that
job too!
Togashi
Udon: oh, hopefully

Hantei
Dave: uh oh. I can't compete
against you guys in Fish Stock Assessments
Hantei Dave:
damn...time to hit the booze
Togashi Udon: i ment pulling for
you
Togashi
Udon: but you can still hit
the booze ;-)
Hantei
Dave: so, wanna
start?
Togashi
Udon: ok
Togashi Udon: i
need a quiet moment alone with Hisa, if you happen to have
one...
Hantei
Dave: sure, you have
one.
Togashi
Udon: "Hisa, I must ask you
some questions."
Hantei Dave: lets say you are hiding
out in a stable
Togashi Udon: (ok)
Hantei Dave: He
sits in an almost meditative trance
Togashi
Udon: "Our two Clans have the
strongest bond between any of the Clans in the Empire. It is on that bond that I
ask these questions."
Togashi Udon: "Are you planning to
misdirect me or use me as a puppet, or to aid someone else in doing
so?"
Hantei
Dave: he opens his eyes but
doesn't make eye contact
Togashi Udon: (watching
him)
Hantei
Dave: "I have no desire to
use you as a puppet but you are my passage back to honor. So, yes...I plan to
use you."
Togashi
Udon: "Are you planning to
kill me or to have me killed? Or any other Tanto Bearer?"
Hantei Dave:
shakes head slowly.
Togashi Udon: "Why should I believe
you?"
Hantei
Dave: silence for a
moment
Hantei
Dave: "Two
reasons."
Hantei
Dave: "One, because I believe
you."
Hantei
Dave: "and two, because I
asked."
Togashi
Udon: (Big smile) "I like
those reasons!"
Hantei
Dave: He closes his eyes
again.
Hantei
Dave: "I know someone who can
translate those markings."
Togashi Udon: "Only the Scorpions
ever make sense. Why is that?"(mutter to self)
Togashi Udon:
"Who?"
Hantei
Dave: "What I tell you now is
pure proof of my trust. Empires can topple with this information. I will bring
you to one of the 'Grass'."
Hantei Dave: "The greatest secret of
the Shosuro. I only know a few of the 'grass'."
Togashi Udon:
"Thank you, Hisa-san." (bow)
Hantei Dave: "They are those who
have been planted for generations. To grow...to live as one of the community. To
uproot them is to undo generations of work. I know a man in the City of the Rich
Frog. He can help."
Hantei Dave: "But you must not
reveal anything about him."
Togashi Udon: "The patience of
lifetimes is something TOgashi Yokuni-sama has often talked
about."
Togashi
Udon: "I will do my best to
forget."
Hantei
Dave: (next
day?)
Togashi
Udon: ok
Hantei Dave:
how would you like to procede?
Hantei Dave: you have to go west.
they will be looking for you.
Togashi Udon: Hisa thinks we should
see this man? How far is the City of the Rich Frog?
Togashi Udon:
Who is "they"? The Kitsuki?
Hantei Dave: on horse with two
people...it will take about 2 days ...
Hantei
Dave: and yes, the Kisuki.
They will want answers
Hantei Dave: (as can be
expected)
Togashi
Udon: So we should avoid them
then!
Togashi
Udon: If I had an eye-patch I
could have a disguise, like Shinjoten!
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "Perhaps as
Kumoso (basket monks). I could shave my head."
Togashi Udon:
"That would be good."
Togashi Udon: "I will need to cover
my tattoos."
Hantei
Dave: "We will need to make
baskets. I am not skilled in such matters."
Hantei Dave:
"It also might not be beleivable on horseback."
Togashi Udon:
"Perhaps we sold them all and are returning to get supplies?"
Togashi Udon:
"Sold them for this horse?"
Hantei Dave: (sold
what?)
Togashi
Udon: "The
baskets."
Hantei
Dave: (baskets go on your
head)
Togashi
Udon:
"Why?"
Togashi
Udon: (Udon has no
clue)
Hantei
Dave: (finding picture...and
Udon would know)
Togashi Udon: (its more fun if he
didnt)
Hantei
Dave: http://www.geocities.com/hantei4/online/h_kamuso.jpg
Hantei Dave: (you've seen
oe)
Hantei
Dave: one
Togashi Udon:
right that guy
Togashi
Udon: oh
well
Hantei
Dave: "Bad suggestion
anyway...."
Togashi
Udon: can we go the long way
around to get to the city?
Hantei Dave: "I would prefer not to
go into the Lion lands."
Togashi Udon: "ok, thats
out."
Togashi
Udon:
"Wiat!"
Togashi
Udon: "What if you pose as my
escort, and we just walk through..."
Togashi
Udon: "Nah that'll never
work." :-)
Hantei
Dave: "...We won't lose the
Kitsuki that easily."
Togashi Udon: (sorry, bad
joke)
Hantei
Dave: (it woulda
worked)
Hantei
Dave: hehe
Togashi Udon:
"What if we split up?"
Togashi Udon: "They are looking for 2
people."
Hantei
Dave: "Are
they?"
Togashi
Udon: "hrm... good
point..."
Hantei
Dave: heh
Hantei Dave:
"Maybe if we go as peasants. We would have to lose the
warhorse."
Togashi
Udon: "I think we need the
horse. Time is of the essance."
Hantei Dave: "Then do we ride
fast?"
Togashi
Udon: "They are just going to
ask our purpose at the gate, right?"
Hantei
Dave: "The city is walled...
but the road is traveled freely...for the most part."
Togashi Udon:
"Can't we just tell them to see a friend?"
Hantei Dave:
"And if they are looking for you?"
Hantei Dave: "By now the body would
have been discovered and reported."
Togashi
Udon: "Then we are in
trouble." (smile)
Hantei Dave: "Only one of us
really." evil smile
Hantei Dave: "Well, if we are to be
found, then so be it."
Togashi Udon: "I think we did a good
enough job on that room that they will think that I am dead. I do not think they
will be expecting me to be walking around."
Hantei Dave:
"Then lets go." He mounts.
Togashi Udon: "Hai."
(mount)
Hantei
Dave: (who is
driving?)
Togashi
Udon: him
Hantei Dave:
ok
Hantei
Dave: (dave makes some
rolls)
Hantei
Dave: ok
Hantei Dave:
you keep a decent pace and the first day was uneventful
Togashi Udon:
:-)
Hantei
Dave: (it will take longer at
this pace... 2.5 days)
Togashi Udon: ok
Hantei Dave:
you two can buy food from merchants along the way.
Togashi Udon:
great
Hantei
Dave: Next day
passes....still good. Lets play out the night though.
Togashi Udon:
uhoh
Hantei
Dave: you are at a travel
house...with a group of traveling merchants and farmers. It is a light hearted
evening
Hantei
Dave: 12 people are here not
including you and Hisa
Hantei Dave: roll
perception
Hantei
Dave: hosa

Hantei
Dave: hisa
Togashi Udon:

Hantei
Dave: 23 for Hisa

Hantei
Dave: You hear some horses
ride up outside
Hantei
Dave: and some
clammer
Togashi
Udon: (gulp--does Hisa look
worried?)
Hantei
Dave: (no, he is a Scorpion)
but he should be
Togashi Udon: (we can get out of
this, no prob--whatever this is)
Hantei Dave: (do you want to do
anything?)
Togashi
Udon: Not
yet
Hantei
Dave: ok. Hisa makes himself
comfortable in the hay and lies back.
Hantei
Dave: (roll perception again
Udon)
Togashi
Udon: 21
Hantei Dave:
ok
Hantei
Dave: The door opens wide
(the peasants become quiet). Two Dragonfly bushi walk in and stop at the door.
They begin scanning the crowd."
Togashi Udon: I trust i am fairly
hidden/covered
Hantei
Dave: how
so?
Togashi
Udon: by my
blankets
Hantei
Dave: ok
Togashi Udon: i
was hidding from the peasents too
Hantei Dave: One of the bushi lifts
up a scroll and he stares at it as he starts at the opposite side of the house.
He walks slowly.
Hantei Dave: Noone makes a
sound.
Hantei
Dave: he looks from the paper
to the peasants
Hantei
Dave: action
Udon?
Hantei
Dave: Hisa lies
back
Togashi
Udon: I cant really do
anything
Hantei
Dave: ok
Hantei Dave:
The bushi come to you and Hisa.
Hantei Dave: (udon is under the
blanket?)
Togashi
Udon: yes
Togashi Udon:
face 1/2 showing
Hantei Dave: you can only hear this
conversation then
Hantei Dave: He asks Hisa. "Ronin,
you seen this guy?"
Hantei Dave: Hisa: "Ehh? Hmmmm. Yes,
I think I saw him."
Hantei Dave:
(action?)
Togashi
Udon: no
Togashi Udon:
stay still
Hantei
Dave: "I think he is east of
here."
Hantei
Dave: "I think we passed him
yesterday."
Hantei
Dave: bushi: "What about
him?"
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "Him? He is a
merchant. I was hired to bring him to the City of the Rich
Frog."
Hantei
Dave: Udon, you feel a sword
hilt (saya) poke the blanket. action?
Togashi
Udon: (snore and move
alittle)
Hantei
Dave: roll
WILL
Togashi
Udon: 19
Hantei Dave:
(good roll...you snore and shift a little rather than give into
fear)
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "I wouldn't. I
was hired to bring him and I needed the money. Plague victims are better left
alone by those with a steady job."
Hantei Dave: the saya quickly
removes itself
Hantei
Dave: (dave makes a roll to
see if this works)
Hantei Dave: crap. Hisa rolls low.
18. Now for the bushi's INT
Togashi Udon: (please be dumb, please
be dumb)
Hantei
Dave: 13.
heheheh.
Hantei
Dave: worse
roll
Togashi
Udon: (YOU SO
STOOOOOOPID!!!!)
Hantei Dave: All the peasants begin
moving to one side of the room
Hantei Dave: (the other
side)
Togashi
Udon:
hehehe
Hantei
Dave: the bushi step back a
few paces
Hantei
Dave: "Ok, we'll try
east."
Hantei
Dave: "lets
go."
Hantei
Dave: SLAM
Hantei Dave:
"You can come out now."
Togashi Udon: (dave 5 min break so i

Hantei Dave:

Togashi Udon:

Hantei
Dave: k
Togashi Udon:
(smile)
Hantei
Dave: the peasants are
whimpering on one side of the room
Togashi Udon: "Thank
you."
Hantei
Dave: peasant: "Hey! Get out
of here! We don't need your type around."
Hantei Dave: he
covers his mouth
Hantei Dave: Hisa: "Do you want to
stay or leave?"
Togashi Udon: "Perhaps we should
go?"
Hantei
Dave: (whispers to
Udon)
Togashi
Udon: "even if we stay it
will be appearent that we lied to the bushi."(whisper)
Hantei Dave:
Hisa: "Ok. He reaches into the hey and takes a handful of something. "Plan B."
he whispers
Hantei
Dave: ready to
leave?
Togashi
Udon:
"hai."
Hantei
Dave: He takes the horse
reigns and begins walking
Togashi Udon:
follow
Hantei
Dave: (a long night goes by
but you make it to the City early...and tired)
Togashi Udon:
ok
Togashi
Udon: "That was a picture of
me?"
Hantei
Dave: "Yep. It worked
once."
Togashi
Udon: "Then we know that they
are looking."
Togashi
Udon: "Shall we try the same
thing again?"
Hantei
Dave: "They might not let you
in actually. Got any other ideas?"
Togashi Udon: "We scale the
wall?"
Hantei
Dave: He smiles. "We might
not get too far."
Togashi Udon: "and the
horse..."
Hantei
Dave: (its morning
now)
Hantei
Dave: (and you, Hisa, and the
horse are tiredO
Hantei Dave:
hehhee
Togashi
Udon: "How about
this..."
Hantei
Dave: HEY STOP THAT HORSE!
ITS SCALING THE WALL!
Togashi Udon: "We tie a piece of
clothing/cloth around my head, covering my eyes and baldness, and try to get
through the gate saving that you are my guide."
Togashi Udon:
saying
Hantei
Dave: "I like it. How long
can you stay blind?"
Togashi Udon: "For as long as I have
your sholder to hold onto."
Togashi Udon: "I can also use my
staff as a walking stick."
Hantei Dave: "It better be longer
than that." lets go
Togashi Udon: We need a head
bandana
Togashi
Udon: oer
something
Hantei
Dave: (takes a look at Udon's
picture and points to your head)
Togashi Udon: (I trust the horse got
down off the wall)
Hantei Dave: I assume you have
something
Hantei
Dave: (and the horse is
making a break for it)
Togashi Udon: Ok, I do have
something
Hantei
Dave:
hehehe
Togashi
Udon: (but the horse likes
me)
Hantei
Dave: You two walk up to the
ashigaru guarding
Togashi Udon: I makesure I am well
covered with a blanket, too
Togashi Udon: (no tatts
showing)
Hantei
Dave: They ask you your
business.
Togashi
Udon: (stay silent, hand on
Hisa's sholder)
Hantei
Dave: "I am leading this man
to his family."
Hantei
Dave: you hear some
giggling
Hantei
Dave: "What? You working for
this eta?"
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "Yes. His family
is wealthy."
Hantei
Dave: dave rolls
again
Hantei
Dave: 15 for the
ashigaru
Hantei
Dave: 26 for
Hisa
Hantei Dave signed off at 9:21:36
PM.
Hantei Dave
signed on at 9:22:44 PM.
Togashi Udon:
Huzza!
Hantei
Dave: yay!
Hantei Dave:

Togashi
Udon: "Did I forget to pay
you today, Kendo?" (hold up a gold piece) "your silver piece my
friend."
Hantei
Dave: 'Kendo' takes the
piece
Hantei
Dave: "Will this
do?"
Hantei
Dave: Ashigaru all
gasp
Hantei
Dave: "Yes, yessir! That'll
just about cover it."
Hantei Dave: "Come right
in."
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "How very kind of
you. (sarcastically)"
Hantei Dave: Hisa leads you into the
city
Togashi
Udon: "i didn't know there
was a toll." (as we walk away)
Togashi Udon: "was their a sign? they
really should have a sign."
Hantei Dave: "Kendo? What am I a
crane?"
Togashi
Udon: "Hey, best I could
do."
Hantei
Dave: hmphs
(jokingly)
Togashi
Udon: "Be glad I didn't call
you Maki."
Hantei
Dave: after awhile of walking
you get to a house.
Hantei Dave: "Thank you for leaving
the blindfold on. It makes this easier."
Hantei
Dave: He opens the
door.
Hantei
Dave: and leads you
in
Togashi
Udon: "I rather enjoy the
sense deprivation. I wish I could fight this way."
Hantei Dave: it
is ver yquiet in here and ever on of your steps creek
Hantei Dave:
one
Togashi
Udon:
(smile)
Hantei
Dave: a girl whispers
"hai?"
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "Death to all
Scorpion..."
Hantei
Dave: girl: (whisper)
"hai."
Togashi
Udon: (smile
dissappears)
Hantei
Dave: Udon, you hear some
furniture moving and a door opening in the floor
Hantei Dave:
Hisa: "Step down, Udon."
Togashi Udon: I do so,
timidly
Hantei
Dave: Hisa walks behind
you
Hantei
Dave: you go down 5 steps and
reach a much more solid floor
Hantei Dave: the door shuts
above
Hantei
Dave: Hisa lifts off your
blindfold
Togashi
Udon: (look
around)
Hantei
Dave: you are in a large
room. No windows. Antiques are strewn around on tables and shelves. Some look
quite valuable. An old man with a long bierd and mostache sits in the center at
aa table around some books. He is smoking a pipe.
Hantei Dave:
some candles are all the light there is
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "You shouldn't
smoke down here."
Hantei Dave: old man: "Old men
deserve some luxuries."
Togashi Udon: "Hello,
sir."(bow)
Hantei
Dave: he speaks slowly and
light heartedly
Hantei
Dave: (like that guy from
Gremlins)
Togashi
Udon:
hehehe
Hantei
Dave: he smiles and rocks
back and forth a bit
Hantei Dave: Hisa: "We need
something translated sir."
Hantei Dave: old man takes a
puff
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "Show him the
medallion."
Togashi
Udon: (puff-puff, GIVE, man.
puff-puff GIVE)
Hantei
Dave: (?)
Togashi Udon: I
hand over the medallion.
Togashi Udon: (movie Friday
referance, sorry)
Hantei Dave: old man:
"sit...sit."
Togashi
Udon: I
sit
Hantei
Dave: Hisa
sits
Hantei
Dave: he circles the
medallion with his thumb
Hantei Dave: "It is of Unicorn
quality."
Hantei
Dave: "I know this
language."
Togashi
Udon: "what does it say
sir?"
Hantei
Dave: "It is language from
the gaijin land of Kara-Tur."
Hantei Dave: (there's my D&D
reference)
Togashi
Udon: (:-)
)
Hantei
Dave: His expression turns
colder.
Hantei
Dave: He is
quiet.
Hantei
Dave: he looks at
Hisa
Hantei
Dave: "It says, 'The Fortunes
favor the mortal man.'"
Hantei Dave: (Udon would know this
saying well)
Hantei
Dave: (spoken by
Shinsei)
Togashi
Udon: (I thought it sounded
familiar)
Togashi
Udon: "Shinsei said
that."
Hantei
Dave:
...quiet
Togashi
Udon: "Does it mean something
that it is written in gaijin tounge?"
Hantei
Dave: old man: "It is words
that every Rokugani has heard. It means, the gaijin know more than we
think."
Togashi
Udon: "Is it symbolic in
anyother way? I spent time with the Brotherhood of Shinsei and I never saw
anyone with this medallion."
Hantei Dave: "The brotherhood of
Shinsei you say?"
Togashi Udon:
"Hai."
Hantei
Dave: "You have strange
friends these days Hisa."
Togashi Udon: "Thank
you."
Hantei
Dave: Hisa stares at
Udon
Hantei
Dave: old man "It is symbolic
in many ways."
Togashi
Udon:
"What?"
Hantei
Dave: "I cannot know. But I
know this. The gaijin of the lands of Kara-Tur do not worship the
Kamis"
Togashi
Udon: "Do they have any
interest in the Empire?"
Hantei Dave: "So it
seems."
Togashi
Udon: "Destroy the Kami's
followers and take over?"
Hantei Dave: "It is the words spoken
by SHinsei to the Emporer when he gathered the 7 Thunders."
Hantei Dave:
"The Emporer wanted to send his simblings...the Kamis. But Shinsei told him, it
must be humans,"
Hantei Dave: "It can mean many
things."
Togashi
Udon: "Which is what we are
doing. But why are they trying to stop us? Do they want a 1000 years of
Darkness? What could the Gaijin gain by that?"
Hantei Dave:
Hisa: "There is only one way to find the answer. At the
source"
Togashi
Udon: "And we got this off of
a small boy, bearly in his teens. He was sending a message. Is there some
underground network working against the Kami's and trying to undermind our very
belief structure, their by destroying our society?!?!"
Hantei Dave:
Old man takes a puff
Togashi Udon: "Where might this
source be, Kara-Tur?"
Hantei Dave: Old man: "There is only
one known way into the lands of Kara-Tur. Through the Badger
Clan."
Hantei
Dave: "They guard the path
into the Burning Sands."
Hantei Dave: "Into the lands of
Kara-Tur."
Togashi
Udon: (Remove the blanket,
showing the tattoos) "The Badger Clan. Nothing is easy. How long would that
journey take?"
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "We can make it
in about 4 days."
Togashi Udon: "Time is of the
essance. The Second Day of Thunder is getting closer."
Hantei Dave:
Old Man: "You have strange friends, Hisa."
Togashi Udon: 4
days to the Badger or 4 days to Kara-Tur?
Togashi Udon:
"Thank you."
Hantei
Dave: Old Man: "I don't know
what you will find in Kara-Tur. Few would be able to tell you such things. One
you reach the Badger Clan, Kara-Tur is on the other side."
Hantei Dave:
Hisa: "We need rest...and we can't leave now anyway, Udon. The door won't open
again until tomarrow morning."
Hantei Dave: The old man
nods
Hantei
Dave: The man opens a box
and shuffles through papers.
Togashi Udon: "I am a tool of the
Kami's. If I travel to where they do not belive in the Kami's, then I will be in
even greater danger. How can this help to find Habikki? Do you think they would
have taken her there?"
Togashi Udon: "For all I know she is
still in Otosan Uchi."
Hantei Dave: Hisa: "I do not care
about that. This matter must be known."
Hantei
Dave: "and I can redeem
myself."
Hantei
Dave: Old man: "This will
get you safely to the Badger."
Togashi Udon: "Wouldn't saving the
life of a tanto bearer redeem you?"
Hantei Dave: He holds up a
traveling paper.
Togashi Udon: (Let Hisa take
it)
Hantei
Dave: Hisa: "As much as
killing you and taking for myself Udon." he takes the paper
Hantei Dave:
Hisa nods. "Thank you father."
Hantei Dave: Old man puffs his
pipe.
Togashi
Udon: "Hrm. Good
point."
Togashi
Udon: "This is your father?
Sir I am honored." (bow)
Hantei Dave: old man: "I am only an
antique dealer."
Togashi Udon: "Perhaps you could
help me once more, kind sir."
Hantei Dave: He hands back the
medallion
Togashi
Udon: "The Pheonix did not
undertand something." (accept it back)
Togashi
Udon:
understand
Hantei
Dave: he
listens
Togashi
Udon: (Hold out the Ki-Rin
tanto)
Togashi
Udon: "The Phoenix did not
understand why this tanto was older then the others."
Hantei Dave:
"Strange...friends..." he rolls it in his hand.
Hantei Dave:
"It is an older design."
Togashi Udon: "The languages didn't
match for the time periods, I think. And this seemed to be made slightly
different."
Togashi
Udon: "The Mon was
different, or something."
Hantei Dave: "The Unicorn symbol
has changed over time. This is represents something before the
change."
Togashi
Udon: "Before the
wandered?"
Togashi
Udon:
they
Hantei
Dave: "Yes. These matters
might be related."
Hantei Dave: "Before they wandered
into the Burning Sands of Kara-Tur."
Hantei
Dave: "It is uncommon to
find items with original design...but not suprising if they are very
old."
Hantei
Dave:
"..."
Togashi
Udon: "What do you think
happened to the Unicorn when they went to Kara-Tur?"
Hantei Dave:
"As legend speaks, they encountered the gaijin and lived with them. As they
continued their journeys Shinjo, the Kami, disappeared, and somehow they managed
their way through the Shadowlands."
Hantei Dave: "Of course, 800 years
of travleing is hard to know all facts about."
Togashi Udon:
"The other tantos didn't have the original Mons. They had the Mons that had
changed over time. Does that mean something?"
Hantei Dave:
"It means, that whoever constructed this tanto, wanted an older
design."
Hantei
Dave: "It was changed with
purpose."
Togashi
Udon: "I wonder
why."
Togashi
Udon: "Thank you for all of
your help."(bow)
Hantei Dave: Old man taps out his
pipe
Hantei
Dave: you 2 need
rest
Togashi
Udon: (I wish to meditate
& then pray for guidance on what to do next)
Hantei Dave:
ok. make a great prayer roll.
Togashi Udon: then lots of
rest
Togashi
Udon: 14 + 13 =
27!
Hantei
Dave:
nice
Hantei
Dave: I'll do a dream
sequence hint ^_-
Togashi Udon: ;-)
Hantei Dave:
That day, Udon sleeps on the mat next to Hisa but he is
restless.
Hantei
Dave: VIsions of the past
year are haunting him
Hantei Dave: He sees the Unicorn
Tanto and his conversations with Otaku Kamoko, Shinjo Yokatsu, and the others in
these lands.
Hantei
Dave: Then his mind drifts
back further
Hantei
Dave: To the
beginning
Hantei
Dave: To the Unicorn
Riders
Hantei
Dave: Who died on that
field...cutting off their own hair
Hantei Dave: a symbol against the
Kami themselves.
Hantei Dave: Udon wakes up thirsty
^_^
Hantei
Dave: (i've had this story
in my head since the beginning)
Togashi Udon: (Drink water from my
hallow bamboo)
Togashi Udon: (Stare at Ki-Rin
Tanto) "We go to Kara-Tur'"
Hantei Dave: ----------------next
scene---------------------
Hantei Dave: oh, and btw....rich
text aol was correct
Togashi Udon:
good
Hantei
Dave: the jouney to the
Badger is easy...with your new forged pass
Togashi Udon:
any travel time I tell Hisa about Mudato from the Badger Clan and Matsu
Hinagi.
Hantei
Dave: Actually, it would be
cool to work in Mudato to this game. Can we stop here tonight? I forgot about
him. I was planning to get you to the start of the desert but you are close now
anyway.
Togashi
Udon: ok with
me
Togashi
Udon: the "We go to
Kara-Tur." line is a good end
Hantei Dave: i can work in a fun
fight or Udon background story this way
Hantei
Dave: i
agree
Togashi
Udon: sounds good to
me
Togashi
Udon: was that really hisas
father?
Hantei
Dave: Thats my own story. I
made up that old man
Togashi Udon: col
Hantei Dave:
so, maybe
Hantei
Dave:
hehehe
Togashi
Udon:
cooler
Hantei
Dave: hehehe...and I was
planning on skipping all this
Togashi Udon: next tuesday at
8pm?
Hantei
Dave:
sure
Togashi
Udon: why it is
great
Togashi
Udon: this
story
Togashi
Udon: it is making udon
think that all of the bad that has happened was linked to HIS
tanto
Hantei
Dave: and time consuming. I
was just gonna tie it up at some point and let you guys go back and look where
it affecteed the game in spots. This is much better this way
Togashi Udon:
its really giving him a guilt trip!
Hantei Dave: yeah. I gave you that
tanto for a reason you know ^_-
Togashi Udon: why
me!
Togashi
Udon: why the most religous
person!
Togashi
Udon:
NOFAIR
Hantei
Dave: cause it's me making
things annoying as usual
Togashi Udon: Udon is going to come
back from Kara-tur and renounce everything
Hantei Dave:
Udon has a great story occuring on his own
Hantei Dave:
he traveled to the Brotherhood, to the Dragon, and now this.
Togashi Udon:
from the dragon
Hantei Dave: it really must hit
home for the character
Togashi Udon: it is going to shake
his foundation
Hantei
Dave: well, thats my plan
anyway.
Togashi
Udon: what am i going to
do?
Hantei
Dave: hehehe. I wanna shake
all your foundations
Togashi Udon: yeah, but Udon
...but
Togashi
Udon: but
Hantei Dave: i
got a damn good one planned for Keshijo
Hantei
Dave:
wahhahaha
Togashi
Udon:
hehehe
Togashi
Udon: but Udon is going to
turn into a crab or something silly
Hantei Dave: well, it will take
some major reflection
Hantei Dave: lol
Hantei Dave:
who knows? he might find a greater faith when done
Togashi Udon:
if he flashes the tanto or something it might get him killed
Hantei Dave:
crab and Unicorn have a good repoir
Hantei Dave: hell, maybe he'll be a
gaijin when done
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Togashi Udon:
but find a greater fail in the face of a society without kami's? this charachter
has Kami blood running through him.
Togashi
Udon: how
faith
Hantei
Dave: well, maybe Udon
should ask himself, what would Togashi do then?
Togashi Udon:
i have no clue
Togashi Udon: "everything I have
taught you is a lie."
Togashi Udon: that sums it up i
guess
Hantei
Dave: he would probably
force some poor Ise Zumi to go through what Udon is going
through
Hantei
Dave: ^_^
Togashi Udon:
feh, gods.
Hantei
Dave: well, let me say
this
Hantei
Dave: it is not my intention
to make Udon renounce Togashi
Hantei Dave: but I will make him
question his purpose
Hantei Dave:
hopefully
Togashi
Udon: you have already done
that i think, but he is still holding strong.
Hantei Dave:
well, we'll see by the end of this solo ^_-
Togashi Udon:
Kara-tur, now that is something else
Togashi
Udon: can i even speak their
tounge?
Hantei
Dave:
nope
Togashi
Udon: can
hisa?
Hantei
Dave: you never even heard
it
Hantei
Dave: neither has
Hisa
Togashi
Udon: whf do we do
then?
Togashi
Udon: wtf
Hantei Dave:

Togashi Udon: heh
Hantei Dave:

Hantei
Dave: Udon has never been to
a desert
Togashi
Udon: where was that tainted
guy again?
Hantei
Dave: tainted guy?

Togashi
Udon: no the crazy guy at
the pheonix
Hantei
Dave: ....oh, you mean

Togashi
Udon: yeh
Togashi Udon:

Hantei Dave: hehehe. He is a
Unicorn too (go fig.)
Togashi Udon: (i

Hantei
Dave: yep, he might have
been helpful ^_^
Togashi Udon: (I really didnt think
the unicorn would be the antagonists
Hantei
Dave: who says they did
anything bad?
Hantei
Dave: they might be the good
guys
Togashi
Udon: we cant disguise
ourselves, we are going to stick out like a sore thumb
Hantei Dave:

Togashi
Udon: my prayers might not
work
