Bayushi Senshi-sama, forgive the harsh words of young Alesha-san, but such are the words when they come from the heart. Please also bear in mind, most revered champion, that our Champion and our Daimyo have not yet made an official stance, meaning we have but our honor to rely on. And our honor lies where our duty does, and our duty is where the duty of yourself, Senshi-sama, of every Samurai in the Empire, and of Kaneka-dono as well – with the Empire. With the Son of Heavens. If you have grounded suspicion or proof that the Lost have tainted and twisted the Emperor's body and mind, please present such. For if your only argument against him is that he didn't personally led the assault on the Yobanjin, I beg you consider this: wasn't the office of the Shogun created so that the Son of Heavens does not risk his life in each and every battle?

This is because by having ever been tainted in the first place you show your hand as miserable honorless dogs. And why do you deserve anything else, oh practitioner of Maho, the foulest of arts? I have a simple deal. Give up your immortality and kill yourself and I will consider your statement. Until then I will push at every opportunity for the warriors of Rokugan to end you with fire and sword.
Also, it just because its a cliche doesn't mean its not 100% true.
Kakita sama: It is not his lack of leading from the front that I detest, but that it took weeks to respond at all. Had the Yobanjin been samurai rather than inferior gaijin animals the Empire might have been over run. The Shogun should not ever had been in the position to require unilateral action in the first place. The Emperor should have acted first.

End my life? What, so that this treacherous act of treason can come to fruition without a proper defense? No Morito-san, I think that I will stay right where I am, between the Usurpers and the Son of Heaven.

With defenders like you, we righteous champions of Toturi don't really need an army so does your twisted spirit weaken those you would call allies.
Its not like you're a real clan anyway.

I think you will find an attitude like that will lead to a crushing defeat at Toshi Ranbo Morito-san. We Spider have ample knowledge of how to destroy a Magically defended Capital (Otosan Uchi lies in ruins). I'm pretty sure this time around we will have ample knowledge on how to defend such a city. And without the trappings of such lies and false hopes that you cling to, you should be prepared for a long war.
Your prejudice of myself and those who follow our Lord rings hollow Morito-san. It is a shame that I cannot convince you otherwise. In the rebuilding process to follow this failed coup, we will need many to stand tall and be strong. I hope you live to see that day.

If it means I was defeated by a Maho using animal then I hope most fervently that I don't

You know, the Empire doesn't allow the use of maho, summoning of undead troops or making oneself immortal with forbidden magic.
I imagine that Shoju and co would have us change that, so they can fit in. Perhaps they'd argue it'd be like accepting how some of the Unicorn worship the Gods of Death.
However, you wish to change what is a core foundation aspect of the Empire - our unwillingness to accept unnatural and vile acts. Ones that you commit all the time, likely without any consideration at all anymore. Shoju, your mere continued existence is a blashemy. It, and everything you stand for and respresent, are inherently dishonourable according to every facet of how the Empire views the world. You are below eta.
You therefore do not deserve to be treated honourably and instead need to be rooted out and destroyed, as one would root out infected rats that were plaguing a town. You complain about this behaviour - that shows your complete lack of understanding of how the vast, vast majority of Rokugani people think.
Your words will never be accepted and neither will your actions. Also, do not even raise honour as a point or say that you are acting honourable or that supporting Hantei is the honourable choice. Your voice cannot be heard - it has no right to be, it is below the voice of an eta and your very nature is dishonourable.
...
Also, I have no idea why your people keep trying to talk to meet me as an old friend. I keep politiking in Scorpion lands and these odd ronin kept saying that I was doing them a favour. How unsightly!
Finally - I won't be visiting your quartermaster, court or any such like. As above, you are below eta. I would not be seen dead speaking to a corpse or touching it. I would befoul myself. The only way we will ever communicate is with actions - you will die once and for all and I, along with the rest of honourable and noble Rokugan, will express our satisfaction.

I didn't choose to make myself immortal. That was thrust upon me. A choice I never had to make. I laid dying upon the floor of a shrine, content to perish after performing the cuts for my dishonor. What I have realized since then, is that there are some secrets that are even too gruesome for the Scorpion to guard and understand.
My acts have been in the name of research, and defense. Desperate times call for desperate measures indeed. I have researched the secrets of a horrific art, and am now wiser for it. I have employed this art in defense of my lands and the unprovoked attacks of the Great Clans.
We will see if my actions and words will be accepted soon enough. I will soon be departing Spider lands for Toshi Ranbo.
How can you be so sure that the ronin belongs to me then? There are ronin scattered throughout the Empire. Not all of them hold allegiances to the Spider.
That is your choice Kitsuki-san. I have offered you the ability to rectify the situation. Your refusal to, and then deference of blame to my people shows you truly will not listen.

^-^ I can pick things up well with my training. Also, vast intelligence network. Also, them saying it sometimes rather stupidly. Also, good female intuition. Also, deus ex machina.
Heh. The game tells me ^^;
And yeeeep. Won't listen. La la la la la

Yuushahime san, Mori san, you argue with the wind. There is nothing to be gained from talking to that thing. It has lost it's mind as surely as it has lost it's body. I understand that now. We will save the empire from it and it's ilk. It saddens me that good samurai ignore who they stand beside to defend Hantei XL. Their blindness can only be the result of the corruption I sense in Toshi Ranbo.

When you arrive in Toshi Ranbo and find my new form uncorrupted, what say you then?

One wonders how many clans would change their minds if the Spider were to switch sides and support Kaneka....

*shushes Yuusha* Bwahahaha. That's OOC info. I've been very careful not to reveal my kolat-y goodness IC. All in due time. I'm in the Akodo Kage pre-exposure-as-kolat stage. For now I'm still Tamori Koichi, most honorable daimyo of the Dragon shugenja family.
