Excellent story, but... are you killing Mai?

I certainly hope not! Not with so much unresolved as of yet, anyway...

No no. I don't plan to kill Mai, or Shoju for that matter.
I have a love hate relationship with the character. I love him, because I have created this persona that has feelings, and is a complete whack job, and has immense power, but weaknesses, and vulnerabilities.
But, I hate him because trying to keep a character like that balanced, and not a complete over the top pile of trash is tough. I mean, power creep is a real worry for me.
So, there are days when I want to kill him and start over. But man... Its really frikkin hard to think about doing that. Though, I now need to figure out where I'm going to take my hostage, and what I'm going to do with her.
I'm pretty happy with how this leg of it ended up. Mai's PM's and writing style really pushed me to explore how to set the scene without being too overt, and to rely on the contextual aspects of the setting to fill in some of the gaps. I hope it worked.
So,
Shoju has Mai, Mai just went unconscious in a fit of panic after being brought underground. Sojiro, wanna play?

I'll also say, Shoju was great to RP with. Not only does he have a great dramatic sense, but there was the perfect balance between working details out in advance, and leaving things open enough to surprise each other. I was really worried that my "awesome ideas" would just be seen as railroading, but he took them to places I didn't even think of. Two thumbs up. Would role play again.  |

Shoju, if you take Sojiro I'll have to tag along. I was so close to championing your cause at winter court (in regards to the snake) and then you go and have to have a dishonorable meltdown.

Woohoo!
That would be fantastic. The dishonorable meltdown of shoju happened sooner than I had planned for sure, The Snake Clan story was originally going to take me through this Civil War, since I'm just trying to stay out of it, but... I think this is working out well.
Plans... they are definitely brewing.

Wow.... Sojiro is going to go BATSHIT on Shodai and Senshi when he realizes that the guy who's pregnant wife they murdered is the same crazed Tsukai that now has Mai. Mitsouko filled him in on their little adventure, but there were no names mentioned. Does Sojiro want to play? *checks swords, checks jade* Name a time and place, Snake-boy!  |
