Welcome to Gaia! ::

I like alliteration more. "The Itty Bitty Imperial" or "The Miniature Miya"!

Lilly has already expressed that Ayame will kill me for this. XD

Anywho, I might be stealing your spoiler tracking thing if you don't mind that. I like it, at least to occasionally drop in. Otherwise, waiting on Lilly to post before dropping my sincerity roll so this doesn't get any bigger on her (though I'm not sure either of our rolls will be necessary).

I also thought I should ask for Rain's input, regarding the satsumata- I was picturing Tsuyoshi mostly walking around with it like one would a staff, like a walking stick almost, but didn't know if this would be correct, or considered aggressive/like holding a drawn weapon by people in general, as it is mostly the bo in particular that gets a free pass on that from my understanding. I'm sure there's a way for him to carry it across his back, so I thought I should check on that before I have him trod into a village with it like that and scare people off or something.

You're a magistrate, carrying a magistrate's weapon. As long as you aren't bringing it into the bathhouse or a court session or anything, you can probably carry it however you want. It's not like you're dragging your katana along the ground or anything. All weapons beyond the daisho are kind of just 'tools' and no one really cares, unless an individual forms a personal, bordering-on-unhealthy attachment with his or her weapon.

Hotaru, I'm looking at you.

That said, using it like a walking stick might give the impression that you're either lazy or out of shape, but if you don't care, there you have it. Generally, both the populace and myself aren't expecting you to suddenly lunge at someone with your weapon unexpectedly, without at least announcing intention first. If you start sasumataing like a madman, then there might be problems, but until then, go with whatever you want.

For the record, you lot will be entering the Ezura province from the Southeast.



You will be entering at "15".

I'm in no position to judge. My posting has been lax lately. Working OT most days, plus an extra sixth day, got me tired of being in front of a PC (my old position I could spend anywhere from 0 to all 8 hours on the PC, but averaged around 1-2 hours a day; my current position I spend all 8 hours a day every day there, longer if working overtime).

However, as of today, no more overtime until further notice, so I'll be able to be more prompt in my posting again. More time and less tiredness = happy Rain.

Not sure if its worth trying for this one but its unskilled, so I believe its no explosions. Just a base Intelligence roll? If so, 2k2 from the not well read Daidoji!

Okay, I've checked Gusty-san's character sheet and she is good to go. We're going to hand-waive that she's been there all long.

Daidoji Hotaru stayed behind at the village. If she hasn't posted by the time you guys get back there/if you get back there, then I'll sacrifice her character in a dark ritual dedicated to Daigotsu write her off somehow.

Welcome back, officially smile

And that's okay! Doesn't bother me in the least smile
