House of Drifting Leaves OOC

[Kasuga Shinobu]

I didn't want to make a post JUST ooc in the thread so I decided to start this. The thread WAS started by Momo, but I wanted to see where people wanted to go from here. Obviously Shizu will have things to do in Ox lands, but I know Mo-Li is going to meet with the Khan (as per her thread, and Kinen has places to go as well. Did we want to have a night time talk at the Inn, skip to the morning for the testimony, skip to the north? Or, did someone want to add intrigue by having their own kolat operative or ninja assassin?

[utakumoli]

Basically I want for Mo to find out that there may or may not be a greater conspiracy (*ahemroninoutintheshadowlandswhocallthemselvesspiderforsomereasonahem*) in the empire that may warrant some investigation. She'll head over to the Khan whenever this thread is over. Could be the next morning, could be two days after, it's really not that big a deal for me.

My alternate character, Goju Mugao, could show up hiding in the shadows, but its purpose and intentions are unknown to me at the moment (pending some rp with Shoju in the Spider section of the board).

Any thoughts?

[Kitsu Natsuki]

Well, Suki's heading for Shinden Asahina to meet with an NPC, so I'm pretty flexible with timing here. The wonders of Rokugan's teleporting horses can solve all distance troubles. ;D

Haven't really thought about how I would like the rest of the RP to go, but discovering a Kolat/Spider conspiracy sounds like a good plan to me. Suki's the traditional kind of shuggie, the kind that reacts with distaste at even mild impieties. Discovering a anti-Celestial conspiracy/plan by the Shadowlands to infiltrate? Her outrage would go off the charts. Of course, I'm good with anything else you guys come up with.

[Isawa Kinen]

Yeah, Kinen's supposed to be looking for Tadaka, but I could just as easily throw one or two of his children to replace him. Likely Kamiya since she's the only one actually old enough to do so.

...and I thought this was a Kolat conspiracy already?

[Kasuga Shinobu]

It is Kinen, that's why I added the note.

Anyway, it sounds like most characters have someplace to be, and it IS still an internal Ox affair at the moment. I should come with an idea by tomorrow, I think we'll make a scene at the Inn that should finish things off nicely.

[utakumoli]

I'm going to be afk for the weekend, but I should be back by Sunday night. ^_^

[Kasuga Shinobu]

I have testing for Green Bay tomorrow, work tonight and basically all Sunday. Then again, I'm always here and there. Should be some food for thought though with my last post.

[Kitsu Natsuki]

And the plot thickens. DUN DUN DUN!

[utakumoli]

I'm so sorry I missed the post!!! It must have gotten buried in the 50 recent posts somewhere. :<

Posting soon!

On second thought.... I really don't know how to respond to this... Hmm.....

[Kasuga Shinobu]

It doesn't seem anyone knows how to respond to it. No one asked for help either... lost interest, again? I don't want to guilt or force anyone into RP, so if no one can think what to do here I can just drop it. I know there are more exciting RP out there anyway.

[Kitsu Natsuki]

So sorry, been awfully busy recently and didn't have a chance to sit down and think of a good way to respond. Don't worry, I certainly haven't lost interest in this and would definitely want to wrap it up with a fitting conclusion. Will come up with something real soon! (And don't worry Shizu, you're definitely not guilting or forcing me into it. I've enjoyed this RP with all of you guys tremendously, and I don't wanna just let it die.)

[utakumoli]

My problem is that if I don't metagame, Mo's gonna get poisoned, which I suppose would be interesting, but at some point she'd have to recover and make it to see the Khan.

If I do metagame and have her be suspicious of something she'd have little reason to be suspicious about, she'd avoid the poisoning, but it would be out of character for her to do so.

Komatta na~...

I haven't lost interest, but if someone else who's more likely to be suspicious or hear something, or whatever, that would be good. I can go from there.

[Kasuga Shinobu]

Well, let's work it out then. Who's the most suspicious of us all? Maybe one of our Phoenix senses something? Otherwise it can be a mild poison that lets an attack in the night be harder to do anything against.

This is your idea Momo, even if I took some ideas and ran with them. So it's sort of up to you. *hugs*

[Bayushi Etsuko]

I don't mean to interrupt, but I've been reading the RP and it is most interesting. I'm waiting eagerly how it will unfold. Hopefully, you guys will figure a way out of it soon =D

[Kitsu Natsuki]

Right now, I can't quite decide whether to go with that mild poison idea, or to have the ancestors tip Suki off that something's not quite right with the serving girl. Either that, or we wait for Kinen and his Void mojo to pick up something. What do you guys think?
