I'm glad you're enjoying it, it's been a wonderfully unexpected mess of plot twists for me to play out on my end and just keeps getting better all the time.
I am the GM that posts while you're at work, I am the plot line that freezes before day change, I am... The Underbirb!

The light of the fire flickers against the figure, gradually reavealing its form...
Kanna, half armored and grunting more like a beast than any human, steps out into the light, her eyes wide and sweeping the darkness madly, pupils dilated near to distortion.

Jin wrote: ↑Thu Jun 04, 2020 5:27 amJin had not been invited so Jin had held his tongue.
But the question had been posed....
The scarred man, missing and eye, missing a hand, all due to sacrifices and pain... but for the grater good... spoke up, "Yes. Some of us do."
"I have given much to make this world better. Endured so, so much to make this world better. Yet I would still give more. I would give my life... and may yet need to do so. I would give my soul. I would give my very essence, my Name if that is what it took."
He looks at all those gathered and their petty, mortal squabbles, "I understand not wanting to risk someone you care for. My own students march with us towards certain death and all I can do is try to prepare them. But the Nezumi is right. The pit needs to be closed. It was not our goal, that is true, but it is what needs to happen. We have seen the creatures it creates, the pain it causes, the suffering and torment and that is with it held at bay. If the pit is left open it does not matter if we save him. If the pit is open it does not matter the Empire we build. It will all be for naught. It will end in suffering and death for everyone. For all of us and for future generations."
He shakes his head sadly, "If another Kami's name is powerful enough to make that sacrifice and they wish to do so then so be it. But the pit must be closed."
It was probably the most any had ever heard the man speak in a turn. And it was certainly the most heartfelt an argument he had ever made.

Breathtakingly awful content, Kinsen.
Holy crap. that's like the absolute reversal of the naked in front of the class nightmare. That really is awful and perfect. Both you and Kinsen get gold stars for those nightmares. ^_^

He said the capitalized sentences slightly slower and louder to make sure they were heard and processed.

So we need to outlaw horns... sorry Ryoko....Canary wrote: ↑Tue Jun 09, 2020 9:04 amThe water ripples quickly and then clears. The image of Matsu has changed from the young girl she is to a tall young woman holding a curved sword of silver-grey metal rather than bronze, dressed in armor emblazoned proudly with the symbol of the Spider Clan. She faces a dark figure even larger than she is, unclear in shape aside from the vague impression of horns. Matsu is poised in the still image, as though ready to attack. On either side of her are eight other figures, more vague, but there is an aura of destiny to them, as well.

I'm not sure, but I feel the capability.
Maybe then I could really help. Not just my weak efforts until now, but fighting by your side.

"Well, anyone Nanzi hates as much as he hates Shinsei is probably a wonderful human being. I'll have to come to the wed-"
His eye assaulted him with a vision, so strong that he nearly dropped to his knees. Like it had done during the tournament, it showed him a myriad of futures spanning from the moment- and unlike the tournament, it was filled with nothing but nightmarishness in most cases.
Phi and Shinsei, smiling, looking down at a saddled bundle. A vision of black feathers and long claws impaling them both, then devouring the screaming baby alive. Phi and a child, in some stone building with a statue of Shinsei in the room, the structure shaking. A massive clawed hand smashing through the ceiling to scoop them both up and crush them to jelly. A pregnant Phi sitting by Shinsei's side, taking a sip of something steaming, handed to her by a robed figure... and then screaming as cramps overtook her.
Horror after horror, layered one on top of another. For the first time in quite a while, Sora tried to sift the visions. Tried to find a way out.
Phi. A baby. Shinsei, there but not there.
"... there can't be a wedding."
Oh, I'll let folks guess what I plan on spending 1 point on.
