This is my idea: In 3 days Joji will go completely lost and will fight for the Spider for the rest of the game.
Here is my challenge to all the great writers around:
Since Hida Joji is losing control, as you can read below, I'm appealing to the community to create episodes of Joji's final collapse to the Taint.
If you want to make the Click moment just before he swears his allegiance to Daigotsu, PM me. I'd love to see your points-of-view!
Here are some "facts", they are not binding:
- Hida Joji wants to prove a Samurai can and should get Tainted, so as to be more powerful, while he serves his lord.
- Joji's taint manifests as black sweat, tears, blood and need to cough and spit black thick blood-like liquid.
- Joji has "died" a few times now, he always wakes up alive. Each time he feels he lost a piece of his soul. (For L5R old timers, this is my take on a power that gives you a rank of taint and make you an undead for each extra life. I ignored the undead part so far.)
- Joji has been fighting with a Dragon Daisho, calms him a bit... or used too. Has a distinct preference for close quarters fighting.
Hope you guys want to juggle your imagination!
Here is my small episode!
Joji screams in fury as his ally falls, felled by an Ono chop to the neck. Joji and the Moto had been reunited by chance as both found themselves surrounded by enemies, together they managed to fall back to a small weapon storage and defend it for a long long time. It would not be used by the attackers to gain a foothold on the fortress, but he alone could not hope to hold against all the bushi around him. Joji puts a wall to his back and prepares to take one more with him into Jigoku. The attackers part to allow a Kuni witch-hunter to approach. Joji’s eyes widen, a moment later he is flying through the air towards the fallen witch hunter screaming – “TRAITOR!!!!!!!”
Toritake Hayatetsu had seen this before amongst the fallen. They fought as long as they could until they died, selling their souls as dearly as they could. Some, however, didn’t die before the taint took them. This one, Hida Joji, was more corrupted than most Spider but until now he had managed to fight for the Crab. Now he was totally lost and probably didn’t even know it. The undead Moto finally falls. The Crab spread to surround Joji, the Kuni witch-hunter assigned to this band prepares to purge the taint from Joji’s body and give him a last chance to die well. As the Kuni get within 3m Joji’s jumps at him screaming, black blood streaming from his eyes. Hayatetsu was prepared and with his usual skill, he smashes Joji’s head with his Jade studded tetsubo. Joji’s head explodes his nearly headless body falls at the Kuni’s feet. The Crab step over the dead enemies and take the weapons and jade they came for.
Some time later, Joji wakes up. He grinds his teeth as he feels his bones grinding and knitting. A few minutes later he manages to sit and look around.
“Where am I?” – One dead Moto and seven Crab corpses litter the room. – “Must have been a damm fine Moto to kill 8 Crab bushi! Well, seven at least…” – Joji scavenges around, managing to patch his armor and goes out to continue his defense of the Fortress.
