Since the name changed this will remove confusion also I'm going to have a vote for our next major story arc.

Dante · 06-09-2004, 09:05 AM

Can't you combine the plots? Hmm... On the way back to the Kaiu Wall we save a village from villains, then when we hit the wall and are ushered to Kyuden Hida, the ninjas attack and we have to track them down, then after that we have to discusss what to do with the dead guy's stuff, with a huge samurai battle as disgruntled would-be inheritors attack the group, and at the end of it all Satsume and Yukino ctach up with whoever it is they're suppsoed to duel to the death...

That get's a little to saturated. I prefer to not get my stories to complicated.

Dante · 06-09-2004, 09:40 AM

Of course... You can organize it into two main arcs, the "kill monsters arc" or "political intrigue" arc... and some of the unrelated plot points can be applied for extra juiciness of story.

Squishy Cheeks · 06-09-2004, 03:05 PM

Don't worry. I can make any of these stories work.

So do we stop for the night or keep chasing them?

Dante · 06-09-2004, 03:09 PM

I'm with stop. If we chase them, we might run into a trap. God knows they've had enough time to summon more oni. Best to rest and come up with a plan.

Squishy Cheeks · 06-09-2004, 03:13 PM

Then suggest it in character.

Krylo · 06-09-2004, 05:52 PM

...I like traps. Traps are fun.

Also, I just got home and haven't read the actual RP yet.

Squishy Cheeks · 06-10-2004, 05:44 PM

Alright. I'm going to be sending you private messages over the course of the rp. These private messages are details of information that I think you and only you should notice. If you want to share the detail with others it's up to you.

So do we stand our ground and protect the Cranes, or go after the Maho Tsukais and protect the empire?

The choice is up to you.

On the one hand, it's dishonerable to just abandon allies to the whim of a hideous monster.

On the other, our duty is to the Empire, and it should come first.

I would probably vote to try and stop this monster now as a team, since we are here, and we can't just abandon the people to their fates at it's desire...
