Homura stopped in half-step surprised with Scorpion sudden appearance. She waited letting Hiromitsu to finish his speech. That was interesting. But she didn’t have time for him. Taking the castle. That was important right now. His stance was nice. Really nice. No holes, good attack options. Maybe at least checking him?
Sorry I have a meeting with them first. she pointed in Cranes direction and made a step forward. But I will gladly meet you later, Hiromitsu-kun. She bowed to him lightly with a smile on her lips.

Does Hiromitsu was that scary? The Bitter Lies Technique so efective that no one would dare to face him in combat again? This answers he did not had.-I must seek another way, another way to buy time... And was then, that the "great Hiromitsu's idea" was born. Out of necessity and desperation, he climbed back to the window he just fell from and runned again throught the corridors. He rushed and with great celerity, he looked into the emperor's room and got himself... new clothes.
The silk was perfect, the tailor a genius, and as he left the room with his borrowed garb, he knew that was no turning back.
He seated in the Hantei's Throne, and waited.
How many people have looked into Hantei's eyes (eye) ? To trully know the face of the most proeminent figure of Rokugan was no easy task, at least, was the way Hiromitsu wished for. He put his best poker face, and waited.-Damn, I must be looking good. I wish that mom could see me now. -The taxes are now, revoked... Oh, comfy throne!

OCC: Good one Hiro. How many would be able to recognize the True Emperor? This is the question.
Seeing the bulk of Crane armies making their way out of Toshi Ranbo, with some regret Mitsouko knew it was time to leave. Their forces weren’t too large to resist for too long without aid from the other allies. But Fitsu was able to spare great part of their force for a new opportunity in the future. She had hope the other Crane daimyo would take care of the Emperor while she and the Regent of Crane would deal with the armies. Now, it was time to her to find her way out and meet Fitsu.
She glanced to her guard, frowned face: Time for us to leave, too. Let’s find our way with the last remnants of our troops. Be prepared, I don’t think it will be easy.
Then, stepping out the tower she was, surrounded by few yojimbo, she looked at the city, detaining her look at the silhouette of the Palace, hoping they had time to made it. If she just imagined what was happening in the Hall of Throne, she would slap Hiromitsu until he drops from the spot. But unfortunately, she wasn’t aware of the boldest act in this entire war. She started her retreat, hoping to join Fitsu.Tucked in her belt, not only her sword, but the Toku ancestral sword Sanjuro delivered her.

Homura was surprised again watching Hitomitsu-kun climbing the window. Didn’t he just said he wouldn’t flee? What was going on? She waited looking at the window. Maybe that weird bushi will appear once again?
He didn’t.
Homura sighted. That was to be expected. She turned to standing Cranes. Do Hanteists always flee or is it just because of me? She waited for their reaction. They weren’t happy but remained calm.
She made anotherr step towards Cranes. Their archers are still aiming at her. Homura didn’t bother with this. Instead she addressed them all. There are quite many of you. Aren’t you ashamed? So many on one? And those bows of yours are a bit too much of a handicap.
At least for now. She finishes with ugly grin on her lips.

(OoC: As we are stuck in a standstill here and we all know that the hantei is gone, is it problematic if i have my troops kill those archers? either that or i suggest they be reclaimed i only ask to avoid god modding or stepping on someones toes so that i may give assistance to Homura. )

A cry from the city grabs Kakita Mitsouko's attention as she exited the city. She turns and sees a huge Crab in bloodstained Heavy armor jogging toward her. Behind him a long line of Yasuki House Guard, most wounded and some carrying wounded or pulling covered carts.
"You are Kakita Mitsouko?" The man stops and looks for her mon. Nodding he Bows very low and continues to speak while matching her pace. "My Name is Yasuki Yagyu, Taisa of the Yasuki House guard. I'm sure you know by now the West Gate has fallen. We held as long as we could, but the Lion Beat us and Took Yasuki-dono prisoner." The Shame of his retreat is clear in his voice. Mitsouko notices now that at least some of the blood covering the man is his own. "After the Unicorn got by us, Chad-dono ordered me to mobilize all the walking wounded and cart our supplies out of the city. Most of those carts you see are full of rice and barley."
"The war continues and we wish to fight, Lady Kakita. There are still nearly a thousand of us. Where do we go?"

Not much to think about, and she nodded in instant reaction to the information the Yasuki taisa gave her:
Hai, Come with us. The last legion will gather at north to reorganize, while Fitsu will command the others. The capital will be lost by now but our Emperor is safe. We will do something about Chad-sama, be sure. You are brave, man. Thank you for holding for so long the most fragile spot from the wall… Some of our shugenja will take care of the wounded in the encampment.
She never meant to be blunt, but situation required some practical sense and hurry. Saying so, Mitsouko restarted to walk, processing the information about Yasuki Chad in her head, and choosing names she expected to be alive to perform another rescue mission…

OOC: one question: is somebody controlling those archers? the topic stucked and sooner or later we will have to solve it. if there is such a person: I don't mind Homura being shot or cut. she can be wounded or killed (though I would like to be pmed in that matter), she kind of provoked that. if there is no such a person, I will continue the thread, probably tomorrow (if I manage to flee from 36h shift at work) or on friday (after ending this stupid shift). and now I want to ask you a favor. If anyone doesn't like my characters actions, finds them inappropriate or so, contact me before going to mods. they have many other things to do and well, it's always nicer to do things on our own. I don't bite and am quite flexible, so if there is better option I will take it or we can work something out together. I like talking with Tomatsu-san and Mitsouko-san (didn't have possibility to talk with the rest yet), they are very nice and helpful but I don't think they intervension was needed that would be all. see you in game

Let's be more relaxed guys and confident to each other. We're here mainly to have fun, not to see our favorite team succeed. I am not addressing to anyone in particular, but I simply needed to chip in on this. Let's trust and respect each other.

As both Homura and I have called out for people to reclaim their crane archers, and no one has responded im issuing this statement. If they aren't reclaimed or if someone doesn't do anything with them im going to have them routed or killed. If thats not cool with you... let me know and we'll work something out, but i enjoyed this thread until it came to this pause. So im giving you one day (24 hours from this post) to reclaim your archers or do something with them. Otherwise im moving on!

OCC:The "owner" of the archers is not around. We cannot ask him what he thinks about it and if he has plans for them. Anyway, are they so important to you? Go ahead! I think all the Crane action left here is inside the palace, but I can be wrong...

Sorry not trying to be a jerk just its held my and homura's potential to rp together (as i mentioned earlier Jin and Homura had met up and were now moving through the city together). If she's held up than i am held up and i'd like to continue rping what we had going on. Also i didn't want to just say "and a rain of arrows killed all the crane archers outside" without giving someone a chance to interject if those archers were important to them. I know i dont like it when my npcs or clansmen are treated like little props that dont have the character of their clan, so i didn't want to do the same to other people.

Still no reaction. Are they stone? Homura eyed back on Kakita Norai. He was calm and was coming closer. Time to finish it. One way or the other.
She glanced on Crane archers. Tsh, cowards. Fine she started talking loudly If you want to survive leave now. She turned back and walked to her forces showing her back to Cranes. When she was passing Norai she spat at his feet [ooc: didn’t hit, lacking words sorry;(]. See you in battle if you dare.
Homura stopped near the middle of the space between both armies. Her forces were quite far away but closer than a moment ago. Not good. Not bad either. Fuck it. Maybe they would manage. At least Toshi should be fine and took care of everything.
See you in the next life she muttered to herself looking on them. She turned to look at the faces of Cranes standing there ready to shoot. That will be fun. She bursted out laughing. A really unpleasant to ears sound. Perfectly matching her wild eyes. And whole appearance. Wardens, attack! she yielded as loud as she could.
She could hear their horses starting running.
Suddenly she rushes forward. Fast, quiet. Concentrated.
[ooc: if sb wants to interrupt Homura moves just do it. I will edit the post as soon as I could. oh yeah, and Homura is probably still in arrows range]
