"I was there, though my services were not required, in the end. Lord Hantei's people are excellent hosts." Kaze looked down and to the side. That seemed like the proper thing to say. Kaze ignores the observation of his woodcraft. His skills are what they are: beneath notice. "You are...hunting, then?"

Kaze frowned, then took one step back to place a hand on his yari, quickly scanning the room for others, ears straining for any hint of sound.

"They?"

The string loosened and the guard relaxed. "Doji Kaze of the Lady's Clan." His dark eyes observed the Seppun for a moment before he emerged from the shadows. Arrow still nocked, he bowed formally as was required by Her will. "It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Seppun-san. You have had rice?...

The Crane's work stopped at the first clatter, and for a breath he silently observed this strange figure at the door. There was a light clack as he set down the block, then a rustling sound as he rose from his seat and bowed formally. The rules were to be observed, after all. When he spoke, it was w...

Hearing the skrit of movement, Kaze immediately becomes still, allowing the sound gently to turn him to face its source. His hands made no motion to his quiver. Steps come in twos. A Man. He very nearly cleared his throat, but paused. Fool. Are all men now your ally? You have lost much in your days ...

LA Court w/art

LM Hunting in the Farmlands

The court this afternoon was host to a dark-eyed, solemn man in the blue and white of the new Crane clan. He was seated near to the east wall of the chamber, a bit of wood in one hand and a knife in the other. At times gently and at times forcefully he drew the knife across the surface of the wood. ...

With the sun rising steadily higher, Dojo Kaze slipped out of one of Kaiu's side gates and into the countryside, bow ready in his hand, yari slung across his back. The climate was about right, warmer than up north, but the lack of trees was unnerving. For the time being he kept to the side of the ro...

Commerce is a no-go for me.

Courtier: Not great. +1 up for grabs. Please pm me if you're looking for assistance. Willing to help out whoever.

Hunting: 1 raise called. Rolled a 35. 2 Provision points Gained. In-character post to come.

You're keeping 5 across all of the rolls? I think the expedition has a vested interest in you participating.

Oh, I am so glad that there are other sane people on the trip.

I was getting worried.

No clue myself, but I kept back a koku to buy one if the opportunity presents itself.

Nothing to get hung about.

Regarding starting cash, do characters who began as ronin but have joined the clans start getting that sweet, sweet Kami koku? Or are we still sad, impoverished hangers-on of our new overlords, kept poor so that we do not have dreams of running away?

Is that the one that's also not talking about Fight Club?

Or is that the one about always making sure your knife is sharp?

I get the feeling we see each other quite a bit then.

Seems that way to me. Kaze would probably be pretty intimidated by Nanzi's bearing and culture, but would respect the heck out of him for Doji's choice.

Kaze was an outcast from the Chinsei tribe living ferally in the woods before he was found by Doji and introduced to the higher concepts of the new world. Since then, he has been a bodyguard of sorts to Lady Doji. He loves her and the other kami like a drowning man loves oxygen, and things like art,...
