Sumiko chuckled. "You know, most clans would take this as an opportunity to secure a very young, talented and single samurai for themselves. Yet Soshi-sama wants me to set something up in Spider worlds instead. Hmm, maybe to stay in touch and trade notes? Is Soshi-sama interested in the wildlife of...

The shugenja nodded, thoughtful. "Breaking the link to Gaki-do in the whole area... it's no small feat, though. I... wonder how it could be done. Or if. There have been attempts, of course..." Some more pondering as she works. "Although... we could lift the curse from these samples. Maybe that will ...

Omoi's words... they made sense, of course. A spirit could not stay around forever. That didn't mean they didn't hurt. It did. So much so that it made talking to the Water Spirits harder - she was still able to heal Dai back, despite some bruises and cuts remaining. But it took longer and much more ...

The bleeding in her legs now stopped, she takes her hand to the Olms' vials and murmurs a prayer to their health. With another nod of thanks to the Kitsune, she places both these and the Newt vial the Fox had retrieved from the half-destroyed desk on a support and moves over to Dai. "Seems like Omoi...

Immediate danger over. Non-immediate? "Soshi-sama, Kitsune-sama, are the realms stabilized or should we worry about more creatures showing up?" After the gilled larvae are properly settled again, Kioku turns to Kanna and bows to her again. "Kitsu-san... I may be able to create a memorial, after all...

Two or three minutes later, Kioku has two new vials with some culture medium in it. It has some smears, considering she's still bleeding, but it should be enough for the Olms. Hey, maybe they'd even like the extra nutrient... "Here, Kitsune-san!", she says as she moves as fast as she can despite her...

"I think they will be fine, Omoi-chan." he held up the vial. "But, we need to get them into a new container. Then, I can help Dai-san and your mother more." Finally properly turning her attention to Kiyoshi, Kioku widens her eyes and rushes to one of the benches still in more or less decent conditi...

Kazumi pinched the bridge of their nose that extended beyond the mask and took a deep breath weird ass spirit shit, no idea why i get involved in stuff like this "Well it looks like everyone is..." They looked at Dai and Kioku "more or less alright. I'll need to call this in, I'm sure the Scorpion ...

The ronin stirs though is still somewhat worse for the wear. Hearing the Scorpion's question he tries to find his voice, "Lost souls... they fought to prevent others from being saved." He gingerly pushes himself up to his feet and nods thanks to the Fox, "They hunger for the potential of life they ...

"He... he will, Omoi-chan. He will. And... Tsukune's heart, I want to talk to you so much, Omoi-chan. But..."

She turns to Kanna and the Kitsune. "Kitsune-san, Kitsu-san, we need to help Dai-san!"

Immediate danger over. Non-immediate? "Soshi-sama, Kitsune-sama, are the realms stabilized or should we worry about more creatures showing up?" The Soshi, seeing the nightmarish creature vanish along with its companion, lets out a breath she seemed to be holding for a long time. "See, you're fine!"...

Seeing the abominable creature let out a ring of teeth as it falls down, Kioku moves together with the young girl to protect her, although her eyes keep on the desk where her daughter is. "Omoi-chan... I missed you so much! I won't let it happen to someone else!" ---- Simple Action move Simple actio...

Both her legs now bleeding considerably, Kioku grits her teeth, looks exasperated at the desks, then at the kid who just moved from under a table, then back at the desks. "... why??", she exclaims through her teeth, frustration, anger and doubt burning together in her eyes. https://i.imgur.com/hTBAX...

Kioku, despite the wound on her leg and her shaking hands, takes a step back to keep close to the Rainbow Olm Sample and, once again, whispers a prayer to the Air Kami. Once again, a strong wind blows from her, causing some "flesh" wounds to the three spirits. This time, however, even the Raven hold...

Kioku looks at Kanna surprised, but relieved. "They just appeared! The samples!!", she says, keeping her back to the desks. She then swipes her Densai with her free hand, whispers a prayer, and a powerful gust of wind emanates from her, sending the Raven-like creature flying to the ground. The other...

"Oh, hi hi Soshi-samaaaaa!!" He only broke his avid staring at the spine drake briefly to greet the Scorpion. "I see you're quite excited, ne, Asahina-san?", she said, bowing to him and the Fox respectfully. Crane keikaku. It had to be Crane keikaku. Right? She widened one eye for a moment, but let...

"Hm?" Sumiko paused in some writing to look at Kioku. "You're the expect here so if you believe so then I can't argue it. I do think I would enjoy doing this long term though, there is something really exciting about this kind of work. Not just research in general, but well...I suppose this is kind...

"Oh! Is he in the planet? What's he called? I'm more used to other creatures, but I'd very much like to meet him". She gestures to the drakes. "I can't say they're exactly similar, of course. But if you have experience with dogs, you'll find at least some things easier to understand." A half smile....

"But of course!" he said happy, "I got a Shiba Inu at the day of my Gempukku and took him with me ever since!" "Oh! Is he in the planet? What's he called? I'm more used to other creatures, but I'd very much like to meet him". She gestures to the drakes. "I can't say they're exactly similar, of cour...

Kioku had been taken up by some work inside - there was always a fair amount of that, and even more now with plans to bring back other species - but she eventually shows up in the lobby. Seeing Hinata and Kiyoshi playing with Goldwing, she comes closer with a pleased smile. "I see you two are gettin...
