The Way of Sensei Wu

With my crane spirit bow and crane-fletched arrows? That would be amusing on some level, for sure. What was the idea behind Riri? I noticed a lot of fidgeting here and there in event threads, but wasn't sure what was behind that. Why hop in on Haruhi's side in the intrigue? Weekend was a bit busy, ...

A third snowball, at Riri this time. "You. I need someone to talk down the other monks from skinning me alive, and Haruhi heartily recommended you to take her place now the bird's leaving the nest. That you apparently work twice as tirelessly as your fellow samurai is a nice bonus too." Second plac...

"Weeks instead of years are wise with finite lives. No reason to waste years tending to someone just so you can take them apart that slow. I appreciate the monk's pragmatism in making his point. "The darkest of tonight's tales, Doji-san...if we were making awards for it." The Crane's cheerful smile...

"Part of me has made peace with it, has accepted the responsibility was shared between me, my then lord, bad luck, ineluctability. Part of me still seeks to shoulder the blame, the deaths, alone. If the gods allow it, stay away from war Doji-sama. On the battlefield, courage and honor are just tiny...

Akimitsu frowned slightly "hmmm bad would be the wrong word. Strange mostly. Moto-san, Kitsuki-san and I encountered a strange creature in the woods. We fought it for a few minutes but it ran away." "It seems the woods around this place have more secrets than we knew." "Hm!", the Doji exclaims simp...

Shoot!

And I do feel it fits! It's always a pleasure writing with you and I'm sad we couldn't interact more this game :) Thanks for the fun story thread though! So... I'll ask the same thing I asked Ketsudan for now, I guess. Do you feel Naoko achieved what she hoped to achieve here? And do you feel you as...

Simple question for now - do you feel Ketsudan achieved what he hoped to achieve here?

And do you feel you as a player achieved what you hoped to achieve with him?

Riri got some pretty clear vibes of at least part of the Hiro/ Haruhi story I think, so I'll hold off on that a bit longer until others share their theories. I could still be far off though! Sensei Wu... I didn't get much beyond a "quirky monk" and a past as a samurai, which is more or less what we ...

Kind of around but spotty today!

Riri also shows up in her best attire - which, being a Doji, is saying something. Although some observation will reveal practicality wasn't completely left aside. The trusty bo is on her back, and if she is fidgety usually, she's thrice as much now - her feet tap the ground, her fingers tap her cros...

"You're too nice Doji-sama. No secret here but daily dutiful training for years and years. If the kami have blessed us in any way in that regard, it's with perseverance." "Oh, I'm just stating a fact, Hiro-san", she said happily. "But I'll take your word for that - Haruhi-san also seems quite perse...

Akimitsu's mind was not taken by thoughts but rather practicing emptying them so he heard her approach before she spoke. He unfolded his legs and stood bowing back to her. "It is no intrusion Doji-san. I was simply meditating after the events of the morning. I hope your day has been simpler than mi...

(Expecting) Following the events in the wilderness Akimitsu delivered a report and made a written account as well a copy for the monetary and a copy to carry back with him to his lord. With the busy work done there was some time until the procession started. Akimitsu found himself in the rock garde...

"Oh?" Taka preens a bit. "Did she say anything?"

"Ah, not directly! Just that she had spent time with you. But... you know", she says with a slight grin.

*Applauds*

Apparently , Hiro is a very nervous dancer, but also someone with a pretty good bodily coordination. In hindsight, as could be expected of someone who's practiced intensively several forms of martial arts. Still, nervousness is in his character: "Am I doing good Doji-sama?" The Doji did her best to...

"Uh, sure," answers Hiro after one more instant of his eyes wandering in search parents who aren't there to see if they would approve. "A day where something new is learned is a good day," he adds, grasping at what he knows. A smile, a nod and she steps ahead, leading the way. "Shall we see what we...

Hiro's brain tries to analyze every philosophical conundrum raised by the conversation as they come by, but his overthinking crumbles in the face of the far more mundane final question. "Uh, I don't think so? Never had dancing classes as part of my curriculum, here or before." The Crane's answer is...

Logistics? The question more or less showed on the Doji's face for a split second, but she just tilted her head, bowed again and took a few steps back, leaving Tokiko and Haruhi to speak more freely. She was curious, of course. But she felt she had helped Haruhi achieve something important, and tha...
