[OOC]For the previous dream adventures of Tamihei Yun, you may go TO THIS THREAD, AND THEN LOOK AT THE LAST POST ON THAT PAGE.[/OOC] Two energies had collided previously that night. One directed by the snake shugenja, Tamihei Yun; the other directed by the gaijin Sprinkles. As the targets of the spells woke and tore out of the dreams that they had walked in; a new etherial dream state was created by the magical energies that they were channeling and deposited them both there. To begin with, as most dream crafting started, it was just an inky blackness that they found themselves in. Tamihei Yun was in a terrible state, having just been ejected from the most excellent dream that he was in with Bayushi Haruka. He was half clothed, wearing only the hakama that he had been wearing before, and still very aroused from the things that Bayushi Haruka had been doing to him. It took Yun a moment to realize that there was another person there. It took him even longer to realize that he was not awake. He had entered another dream? He did not know. He looked at the other person standing in this shadowy realm and spoke: "So...hello. Who are you? Did you draw me here?"

Sprinkles was dressed in the red robes he wore the last time he had visited Haruka. His skin held no sign of the taint.
"Hmmm, I it appears our magic have intertwined themselves together. I sought someone else's dream but instead I have been lead here. I am Sprinkles. And who are you?"

Yun stood up and took a moment to reform clothes for himself. He wore a simple red robe with a yellow obi. At his hip was the same wakizashi that had not terribly long ago fallen from his hip in another dream. Sprinkles would recognize that Yun was talented in dream work.
"I was in anothers dream, and as they awoke I got drug here. If it is as you say that our spells intertwined then we must have been seeking people in almost the very same location."
The unspoken question lingered there for a moment before Yun continued.
"My name is Isawa Yun. You are...gaijin? Sprinkles is a name I have never heard someone called."
Yun was clearly distracted. The thoughts from the previous dream still lingered with him. Haruka's touch still lingered. Yun's mind was still clouded from those moments.

Sprinkles eyes narrowed. Thunder clouds gathered around them.
"And who's dream were you in?"

"Bayushi Kurumi. We have a certain, business relationship and I had to check on some aspects of our shared interests with her." Yun did not want to let his true adventures that night out. Especially to a Gaijin that he had only just met a few minutes ago. And at one point or another, Yun was sure that Kurumi was someone he had met before....maybe... Lying was something that Yun had become very accustomed to. Having been a court member for quite some time and having been a spider it was something as natural as breathing at this point. "And you? I wasn't going to ask, as it would seem impolite to intrude, but one good turn deserves another, don't you think?"

The clouds disappear. Sprinkles noticeably relaxes.
"I cannot speak her name. She is a married woman. I visit in dreams to fulfill our...desires."
Now that his mind is at easy curiosity takes over.
"You seem very adept at dreamweaving. Where did you learn such a practice? Obviously your power is great to be able to interfere with my intentions."

"Well, I did introduce myself as Isawa Yun. I think it's pretty straightforward where I learned my skills. My specialty is air; I am a shugenja of some power, but the air kami dance for me. And dream weaving, being air based, being half-illusion. It was a very natural talent for me to pick up."
Yun's distracted nature was still not abating. He could not push the thoughts of Bayushi Haruka out of his mind. He attempted to focus on the coversation and the gaijin that had appeared in this realm; but to no avail, he stabbed blindly with his words...
"Married woman, huh, well, far be it from me to judge the ways of Gaijin, I suppose. In rokugan we take marriage with a bit more sanctity than that."
In any court, Yun would have been asked to leave, he was not being friendly, congenial, or focused, in fact, just the opposite. And of course, the hypocrisy with which he spoke was astounding, being that just moments before, he had been begging Haruka, a married woman, to engage in those same deviant activities with himself.

Sprinkles smiled. If any offense was taken it didn't show. In fact he seemed pleased.
"Hence the dreams. It isn't like I can just walk into her bedchambers and have her while her husband sleeps next to us." Sprinkles chuckled. "Well actually I guess it is like that."

A lightbulb seemingly went off over Yun's head as in trying to piece together why the gaijin had said that his own words resurfaced in his mind. "Ah, well, I'm sorry if I gave any offense. Kurumi has her ways of getting what she wants...and the dreams we share linger with me for a bit afterward." Yun's mind had sharpened to the situation a little bit and the inquisitive nature of him was taking over. "So, Sprinkles-san, if you don't mind me asking; why are you in Rokugan dealing in dreams. I was under the impression that Gaijin were still outlawed by imperial edict, so I wonder how you have managed to establish such a connection in this place. And Kyuden Bayushi is not near the edge of our empire, so you would have had to travel far in to make dreams with one of our scorpion ladies." Suddenly, a few pieces fell together in Yun's mind; scorpion lady, kyuden bayushi, his target was Senshi, but he had ended up in Haruka's dreams, married woman, Haruka had mentioned a Gaijin spirit in her dreams... Could this be the spirit that Haruka spoke of? Now Yun's gaze shifted noticably, now he seemed to be measuring and judging the gaijin more acutely. This man was powerful for sure, but was he this spirit? How to even approach the question without blurting it out and revealing his own lie about this Kurumi?

Sprinkles smiled again but this time it was not a friendly gesture. It looked like a cat about to torture a mouse.
"That is quite simple. You see normally I look like this." Sprinkles skin turned grey and sickly. His clothes became the grey kimono he typically wore. He donned the white mempo. "You see Isawa I am Spider. I care nothing for your laws. Until my clan is recognized then we shall not bow to Imperial Law."

"Ah, well, that makes things easier."
Yun's own clothes shifted to the black and white he normally wore. His skin became a whiter shade and his eyes shifted to the lime green that denoted his taint infection.
"Whew, it feels good to not have to lie, brother."
Yun paused to reflect that they should have a secret handshake or something. And the previous notions about Sprinkles seemed to fade as the new-found camaraderie that they might share took it's place.
"So, were you really visiting some womans dreams to sex her up or were you on a mission?"
Yun's own smile was playful and friendly. His eyes glowed. But, behind Yun there was another more shadowy presence that Sprinkles could see. Yun was seemingly unaware of it or at least paid it no attention. It was slowly forming and had the vague shape of a human adult male wearing black clothing.

Sprinkles eyes shifted to the shadowy figure but it seemed to move each time he looked at it, it moved to the side of his vision. He stood in front of Zeure spinning around. Finally he stopped. "I am on a mission to infiltrate the Scorpion." He hoped the half truth would be enough to satisfy his 'brother'. Sprinkles took a moment to "feel" for anyone else in the dream. But there was no one. What was going on? "Do you see anyone else here? We are alone and yet some figure haunts my vision."

"It shouldn't be a problem." Yun noted as he glanced behind himself and saw what Sprinkles was talking about. Yun closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment and formed some plump cushions for him and Sprinkles to sit down on. He fell down onto one and sat comfortably upon it. "That's just Bob, my yojimbo. We have a mental link so he can also appear in these places." The figure continued to stand, making no motion to change position. He also continued to appear distorted never fully solidifying. "I don't know how many people outside the Chuda are as comfortable with what Bob is as I am, so he generally keeps himself hidden, but since we're the same clan and all, I guess he doesn't feel that he needs to." He motioned for Sprinkles to sit. "Infiltration is a good goal, I guess. I was checking on my information sources in the scorpion as well. It would seem that they are moving a rather large force towards wall. Don't know if you're there or not, but I wouldn't want to be there in the near future. Hida are predictable, so you can see what they're doing. The Scorpion are not as such."

Sprinkles sat down. "The Scorpion are not as crafty as they think. I've already killed some on the Wall. But it does not matter. I am in the Monkey lands currently. Kenpachi is lending support to the followers of Toturi. I felt the need to limit that support. When I am done the Monkey Clan will be no more. And where are you if not the Wall? Surely someone must be defending it? Last I was there Thrakhath was off seeking to kill the treacherous Snake. If I was Shoju I'd be quite frightened, wouldn't you say?"

"Thrakhath is indeed a terrible force to be reckoned with. But I do not think that Tamihei Shoju will go down so easily. He has quite a few allies. Not least of which is myself."
His gaze was locked on Sprinkles's face. He was still trying to determine an unknown quantity and not all spider believed as Yun did, that their over-arching goals would only be accomplished if they worked in unison. Calling himself a spider was something that Yun was still uncertain about. He still didn't know if Shoju was legitimately trying to reform. It could be an incredibly clever ploy developed between himself and the Dark Lord.
His mind returned to Haruka's questions: And if you so wish it I will quest for a way to cleanse the taint from you.. I will find a way to purify your form once again to make you whole. Would you like that Yun? Would he like that? If he could reform....if what Shoju is doing is legitimate... Oh, Haruka...
