Keshijo: It is best not to poke a sleeping tiger. ... Unless I have a
stinger...
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Keshijo: Keshijo waits to stay..
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: Everyone else leaves
Keshijo: May I speak with Shoju?
Hantei Dave: he is stilll here
Hantei Dave: i meant the bearers left
Keshijo: Okay.
Keshijo: Shoju-sama, I know little of politics, but perhaps Hitomi needs to
be... removed...
Keshijo: There are those in her camp who do not share her views...
Hantei Dave: "Hitomi is not my concern. Her power dwindles.
Our CLan has our hands deep in that family."
Keshijo: If one of them could be "persuaded" to move against her, on their
own, of course...
Keshijo: As I suspected..
Keshijo: Any news of the prince?
Hantei Dave: silence
Hantei Dave: kachiko says,
Hantei Dave: "Look how tired he is...even through his mask I
can tell. I think my husband needs rest. The prince is still
not found."
Hantei Dave: did you want to do something else the rest of the
time now?
Keshijo: <I bow>. My apologies. I only wish to help the clan.
Keshijo: I try to silently leave. Then I would like to head to the library.
Hantei Dave: roll for silent leave
Keshijo: 25
Hantei Dave: NOPE
Hantei Dave: squeek
Keshijo: I want to look for info on the bloodswords...
Hantei Dave: the library...ok
Keshijo: I spread out some scrolls on Shintao as well, to hide my true
research.
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: not too much found here....you need the Pheonix
library
Hantei Dave: this is mostly emperial scriptures and recordings
Keshijo: Okay. Any pictures?
Hantei Dave: you find some stuff...I'll tell later
Hantei Dave: remind me
Keshijo: Okay.
Keshijo: Um... What would that be for me?
Keshijo: Thank you.
Hantei Dave: i get that line
Hantei Dave: the frog
Keshijo: Hehe. It's a great one.
Keshijo: Do I get their attention?
Hantei Dave: you can't.....too quiet voice
Hantei Dave: they haven't forgotten you
Hantei Dave: roll
Keshijo: Looking for others. perception?
Hantei Dave: yep
Keshijo: Ugh. 12.
Hantei Dave: nothing
Keshijo: Only rolled a 5..
Hantei Dave: you have a sense of duty to your clan too
Keshijo: Yeah. I'm trying to convince them to work for the Scorpion again...
Keshijo: :-)
Hantei Dave: heheh
Hantei Dave: roll will test
Keshijo: 18 unless I get a skill.
Hantei Dave: not that i see
Hantei Dave: checking your sheet
Hantei Dave: you can go either way on this opinion...for clan or
for group
Hantei Dave: your choice
Keshijo: I visit the library.
Keshijo: I suppose I'm next for a little visitor..
Hantei Dave: perhaps
Keshijo: And I'm the one who WANTED to talk to Aromoro... :-)
Hantei Dave: just commit a crime then
Keshijo: I suppose I would visit Kuno after a while, knowing he wanted to
send the letter but not knowing he had been confined.
Hantei Dave: ok
Keshijo: What happens when I get there?
Keshijo: I was, but haven't talked to Josh about it...
Keshijo: I think he gets it though...
Keshijo: I knew it. I was hoping he'd at least talk to me.
Keshijo: Should've called out to him, then told him my plan....
Keshijo: Can I use my language points towards lore?
Hantei Dave: yes
Keshijo: Cool. I gained enough to go up.
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Keshijo: Torture and "ninja" stuff wouldn't be in there. Just showing no
mercy and following through, and taking shots at Lions when they don't
realize it.
Hantei Dave: right...true
Hantei Dave: if noone asks I won't mention it
Keshijo: Can I get a few moments alone with him.
Keshijo: Maybe afterwards.
Hantei Dave: well see
Keshijo: BTW: DO I have any damage?
Hantei Dave: nope
Keshijo: I go straight after Shoju. Down to the throneroom.
Hantei Dave: ok
Keshijo: I don't give the others a chance to follow.
Hantei Dave: and?
Hantei Dave: He knows you follow
Keshijo: I know.
Keshijo: I ask Aromoro to show himself as well.
Hantei Dave: He leaves a shadow
Hantei Dave: from the side of the room
Keshijo: My brothers, It worries me about the throne.
Hantei Dave: Shoju sits
Keshijo: I think it would be best it was not used.
Keshijo: I would not bring this up in front of the others.
Hantei Dave: Shoju smiles. "You are right. It is a symbol
tainted"
Hantei Dave: He stands
Hantei Dave: you don't know he smiles actually
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Keshijo: Thank you. We should destroy it.
Hantei Dave: no...it is not my decision to make
Keshijo-san....but thanks
Keshijo: If we are to stop the prophecy there must be no more Emporsrs.
Keshijo: I have told the others that you would not be taking the title.
Keshijo: We have tried to convey this to the clans.
Hantei Dave: There will be one more only..trust in this
Keshijo: Only one?
Hantei Dave: only one
Hantei Dave: at a time ^_^
Keshijo: If we destroy the throne publicly though, we could prove to the
clans that you have no intention of taking the Empire. It will make them
think about their positions.
Keshijo: In the very least, it would confuse them.
Hantei Dave: no...you must go Keshijo
Hantei Dave: trust
Keshijo: <bow> Yes Shoju.
Keshijo: Aromoro, I feel I owe you an explanation for my actions before as
well.
Hantei Dave: I saw everything
Hantei Dave: from the start
Keshijo: But did you know why?
Hantei Dave: hai
Keshijo: You know what I told the Lion.
Hantei Dave: hai
Hantei Dave: I know everything here
Keshijo: But do you truly know my motivation?
Keshijo: I am Scorpion, they are not.
Keshijo: Kuno's letter would not have revealed anything.
Hantei Dave: do this brian...construct this in a letter to aromoro
when you return
Hantei Dave: catch up with the others ^_-
Keshijo: Okay.
Keshijo: I grab my stuff.
Hantei Dave: you can send it over email during the week
