Please do. The one thread/story simply doesn't work without Sorano around. I would have to do another storyline.

Something about a missing magical, sorry "awakened", flute perhaps ...

Hi.  I can try and get back into things.  Sorry about being so unreliable.  It might take me a bit to catch up, but I'll try to be around at least long enough to move the storyline somewhere I'm less critical.

That is a bit on the nose, isn't it?

In reply to Otomo Hoshi (msg # 252):

*lol!*

Yeah, I guess so!

Okay, so ...

First: Who's still around (even conditionally)?

raises hand

Snorts

I'm here!

Okay, next question then: since the Missing Daughter mystery isn't going anywhere, should we try something else?

We could try The Lion, the Lich, and the Wardrobe ..........

I like the mystery, but the wheel has a bit stalled there.

I am game. But, I do not have so much contact with Sorano now.

I'm also going through a "lessons learned" in my head (soon to be on digital paper). I can see a few mistakes I've made and I'm going to try and correct them.

So: Kidnapping, Murder, or Theft?

yes

Are you offering me a good time?

Kidnapping, Murder and Theft? Hmm ... hmmmmmm ..... thinking ......

*insert burning smell here*

Please take a look at the new mystery -- Mystery: The Roaring Lion Mystery -- and give me some feedback. :D

I know 20202 has been rough, but the world literally caught on fire here.  It has been distracting.

Sorry for my absence.

That is right! I am bigboss here.

Are we deciding the corporal and sergeant too?


And rank one body guards are ok. Urako and I are top tier body guards.

Yes.

I don't think we want a scorpion in the squadron.  We have one already, so that should help with complaints from the Scorpion of unfairness.

I like these Kirin, so a few to scout should be good.  A Lion Corporal sounds right, but maybe not too many Lion in the main body.  Phoenix and Dragon could be ok.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Yumiko's going to get orders from the Scorpion to make sure the Scorpion aren't implicated further. Or maybe not, since any Scorpion with any sense knows that Yumiko will share any orders she gets with Hoshi.

Can we get someone trained in Kitsuki's Method and an eta assistant?

Kitsuki’s method hasn’t been invented yet, if I recall correctly.

well, darn, there goes my chance to look impartial while also throwing the Scorpion under the bus ^_^

Well ... it kinda feels like GodModing, but I could,/i> assign Agasha Kitsuki to you ........

Of course, I would rather have <i>you solve the mystery, and given his exploits (he got his own family) that would be ... problematic.

So, what do we have so far? Is it:

Privates:
8 Rank 1 Shiba Bushi
8 Rank 1 Mirumoto Bushi

Corporal:
1 Rank 2 Lion Bushi -- What school and Family? Matsu Koharu (see below)?

Sergeant: Rank 3 Mirumoto Bushi?


Hmmm ...

Special:
Otaku Koharu: Shiotome Scout
Shinjo Sayoko: Shinjo Horse Archer

Matsu Kaoru: Corporal, Lion's Pride. Survivor of the ill-fated expedition.

What say y'all?

In reply to Ku Kaze (msg # 273):

Looks like a typical legion.

Is that suppose to be an Otaku Koharu?
