"Like a tattoo? Would need to put up a bit of fat for that. And I'm not sure I'm physically capable of it. Don't think even a trip from hell and back has changed my constitution. I think I'll keep telling my stories through spoken words and paper instead. And there is definitely a lot to tell. Your...

Between the (popular as hell) library scheme and the early rise of the brotherhood, I think Shiba's Empire is going to be a lot more mystical, if not to the extent of the Togashi Dynasty from IH. And I think that's fitting. Shiba, Fu Leng and Ryoshun are basically the second tier under Togashi in m...

Haha, the "Chatty Imperial" said the rather chatty proto-ninja turned proto-monk. I rather liked Ayumu, and I appreciate that you got to book end the bathing sequences. It was amusing. Is there anything you didn't get to do this playthrough that you wanted to? Thinking of keeping him around or anoth...

While Saruko was arguably one of our most court-focused and lore focused characters, and thus has less presence in combat scenes for obvious reasons, I really liked seeing her here, and that she was as important to several events as she was. Phi was a good girl! Shinsei's kid's not going to be taint...

Sweet! :D Hehe, Yeah. I thought you and a few would be pleased to see early Brotherhood influences. I know that several players have voiced interest in kiho. I'm sure they'll still be painfully hard to come by in Game 3, but it has begun! And it's going to be fun to watch a potentially more spiritu...

She breathed a sigh while she looked up towards the ceiling. "You ... were pretty wrong, Ayumu. But the woman who walked across the Seidou is not the woman who crossed it a month ago. I was... and still am someone with a lot of blood on my hands. But maybe I'm taking a page from Sora. Maybe from Shi...

"Taochusu... would love the way your mind is working," she said, smiling sadly as she carefully hefted Satone up and nodded to Ninube and Reo. "But let's get back. I want the hell away from this place. I want them the hell away from this place. I never want to set eyes on it again. We're lucky we ar...

And wasn't Hantei Jama so happy that they did that? Oh so happy.

(Posted with Taochusu's approval after the Character Goal was approved. Most of the planning credit goes to Taochusu on this one. I added some of the historical references in here, but they're responsible for coming up with the idea, giving up three of the points to do it this year instead of next g...

Don't forget Hantei Genji lasted some 400 or so years. Simillarly with Togashi Hoshi. Long life in the second generation is also a thing.

That's actually true. If I recall correctly, it is Genji, not Hantei, that is a large part of why the empire has so few Hantei dynastial members.

Just in case there's confusion about why Phi is suddenly "Nozomi."

On Day 24, in the evening, she takes an early version of a monastic vow, changing her name from Phi (Ghost in Thai) to Nozomi (Wishful Hope). So, when we see her in the next game, she'll have the new name as well.

She bowed back to those who bowed and toasted, and offered Nanzi a deferential nod as well before settling down next to Shinsei and breathing a small sigh of relief, giving him a look out of the corner of her eye. He'd speak in a moment, she was certain. "There's no need to worry too long about thin...

"Yes. In camp. Where he can be honored by those who fought beside him." Phi could agree to that. It was with sadness, but she wanted them to know his fate, to know that he had gone down swinging, and that they had made sure he would be inviolate. It was only sad what they'd hear about the nezumi who...

Think in the rescue thread we had just started talking about that. My thought was maybe at least get back to the jungle, funeral pyre (with his guqin with him to take to the spirit realms), spread the ashes there in the jungle. Yeah, this is more or less then angle. Or perhaps get him all the way b...

She nodded to them both and then smiled over at Umeno brightly. "Old man would say that, and he's right. I have to have a little bit of faith that they'll see sense. And I'll thank you and wish you luck with that. Bring them in, and hopefully they'll be good for you." She turned to Miyako and nodded...

"We walked into hell together, and walked out alive. I think a month in that place is a lifetime for most," she chuckled out dryly, shaking her head. "But you're right. I came down from the mountains, stubborn, sure of myself, glaring at all of you from behind a mask and thinking so many fools. It's...

"Mmmm? Ayumu is that you?" She pulled her hair out of her face and barked out a laugh, looking at him with her red eyes and leaning back again. She got a bit of a look at the scars, but she didn't wince. "Well now, you've got quite the grizzled look to you. I imagine you'll be the talk of the town i...

She hadn't really expected this many to be present, but it was the feast hall. There were others around too, so... doing this publicly? Well, she'd faced hell. She could do this. Closing her eyes, she breathed in and out once and then spoke with as much clarity and sincerity as she was able to do, h...

Ko probably goes on to her own quests from here, so she's unlikely to return in a future game, although her story will definitely continue! I'm glad y'all rescued us (PM me the thread next time, though! :lol: ), eeep! Sorry, thought Ninube had you there. And I certainly hope everyone in this thing ...

Experience Expenditures --Includes the thing that I had briefly put down about "Unlearning." Provided that her Character Goal is approved, and this is ok, that's the plan listed in there.
