Final Farewells [D24, EE, expecting]
Re: Final Farewells [D24, EE, expecting]
"Oh, if the Kami hadn't fallen, the Noriaki would have crushed the Seppun underfoot and then moved on to another target. Or Chosaku woukd have led the Hikaru on an ever-increasing number of raids, farther and farther afield. Or Jigoku would have launched its war on a bunch of disunited illiterate tribes instead of an Empire..."
He took another pull of what the Seidou insisted was beer.
"It's always some damn thing. Every sense we have is an instrument for reacting to change."

"Reacting to change, hmm? Like I hear you are doing, yes? Starting up a library system? I wouldn't mind the chance to have the Isawa libraries get copies of what is put there. Unlike many of the other tribes, we have not been illiterate for some time, and also have some books that you likely would not find elsewhere."

"Oh, we'd love to work out some kind of exchange... nothing too secret, of course, but once we have a handle on the texts we'll be beginning with, I'd love to exchange lists, see what we can work out."

"Definitely a good starting place. Though, I would warn you, a lot of the more recent texts are not... complimentary of the little gods. Some are... downright nasty."

Jin chuckles a little, "Well some of them probably deserve it. I doubt any treatise I wrote on Hantei would be too fawning." He pauses, "Though I guess I have to give him credit for his sacrifice if nothing else - but same goes to Sora so it's not entirely high praise."

Jin nods, "Very true. It will remain to be seen if coming even closer to humanity shall give him humility or if he will overreact in the other way to make up for his loss."

"I'll see if I can get copies made. Perhaps make sure they are included in the first crossover shipment of this new multiple Library system you are wanting?"
Kyosei may not be the greatest negotiator, but he did know a few tricks. It was always better to have something the other wanted, available when they had things set up for you. That way, they had a prize waiting when they were done with the work.

"Outside of the library if the Isawa have any texts on spiritual threats I would love to have a chance to peruse copies. This journey only helped highlight how little we know about what is potentially out there. Not just the threats from the realm of evil itself but pre-human races, spirits, and more."

Kyosei takes another sip of the liquid. "That is true. And, in case of purely natural issues, such as fire, flood, or floor collapse. Sorry, needed a rhyme for the last."
Another sip, followed by a sigh. "While I appreciate your thoughts, and I have no oracular gift, I have read some of what the Isawa tribe has written, about other tribes. And the Empire, in many ways, is a tribe writ large. Very large, but still, the same things occur. And one of those things is a need to expand, in one way or another. And so I feel I need to begin looking to what can and should happen when it expands into Isawa lands. And, no, don't tell me it won't eventually. We may be far now, but the Dragon moved just across the mountains from us, and claimed a great deal of land."
