I meant to add room to Kusanagi...but I got distracted by the stuttering ^_^;;; I'll fix it when I can ^_^;;;

Ah. That's a lot more believable. Sorry to be dense about it, I assumed this was some kind of weird shadowy blood magic thing or something.

no worries ^_^

Thanks, Kedo ... now I'm gonna cry! ;p

I really don't have anything else -- other than trying to get out in one piece ... ;p

Banteki doesn't have much going on in this scene- the political scenario is way over his head. Any chance he could excuse himself and maybe run in to (literally or otherwise) Lin Ru-Fang?

I don't have a problem with that. Only thing else I have to post right now is continuing the one-sided flirtations with the slaves... err.. 'servants'. I thought my previous post covered my actions for the whole scene up to that point.

I'm just kinda here without a heck of a lot to do while everyone else talks.

 Me too, which is why I diplimatically tried to remind Sakura that she needs to get a new sidekick so I can actually get out of the damn' political scene and off to do something fun. ^_^

Where is the thread Chapter 6 - the problem with answers... set currently, like the setting for the scene I mean?

I'm getting to make my entrance, but need a little help on visualizing the scene.

*chuckles*

You think I like being the target of assassination attempts? I've been trying to get to the library now for close to a year RT!

I am still here, listening and oozing as people talk.

Oozing?

Blood ... IIRC, he's still wounded. And yours truly is out of Water spells for the day.

I still have some but at the moment he doesn't really want to interrupt the serious discussions by arguing with the kami over how much they're willing to heal him.

Oh, well if the pain gets to be too much just let me know. :)

I'm not Old Yeller, you can't put me out of my misery.

Well, I think the main difference is that not at many people will cry and it won't traumatize and entire generation of dog lovers.

I have never actually seen that movie and I think it's one of the most famous/infamous of its time.

it's in the private offices of Doji Kasarugi - governor of Toshi Ranbo; it's a little cramped, what with seven or eight samurai crowding into a room meant for three or four (not counting his yojimbo) ^_^


It sounds like you all are chomping at the bit to do something else ^_^;;;

right now, there are two big events left in my main plot:
1)  take out Daidoji Ryu
2)  fight off the Lion

at this point, we could take a bit of time off from the main plot to follow some personal plot lines.  Send me a PM or post here with where you'd like to go to pursue your personal goals.  For example, Kedo's going to go talk to a former Kaiu about steel

if you need ideas...(these are not directions, just a starting place based on what I know of your characters, if you've got something that you'd find more interesting I'd be happy to run with it ^_^)
Sakura needs to talk to someone about getting a yojimbo
Gyatso might want to report to his Unicorn superiors (and get some healing) or go do some research on the Lying Darkness
Banteki could go report to his wife or go with Kedo in search of a new/old drinking buddy
Ru-Fang might want to start looking into commercial opportunities involved with a siege mentality
Kenshin might want to look into becoming a yojimbo for someone

Okay, thanks for the info. I'm trying to work up a description for Sumi before I post, but I should hopefully get it soon. I tend to run into a lot of writers block when trying to write descriptions, even when I have a good mental image, it's hard to put things into words. :(

 We need to take out Daidoji Ryu?

 This is why I dislike trying to get too political too soon - though 'soon' is a funny concept in PBP... I'm eager for the lion siege though, if only for the fun and frolic of the increasingly dangerous buildup to a climactic battle. ^_^

I could kinda go for some Mass Combat myself -- time to get other people in the firing line for a change! ;p

*grins*

I'm not sure what you're trying to say there ...

 Let's face it, with all due humility... you would have one hell of an act to follow, given how unreasonably kind the dice have been to Kedo since he hit town. ^_^
