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 ...

Sumiko looked thoughtful as she worked. "Well, I can think of two reasons. One, they are vengeful due to their deaths - holding a grudge into the afterlife which has stopped them passing over. Or, the influence of gaki-do has warped them, which would mean the explosion caused the connection to gaki-...

"Well..." Sumiko started before the kisses began raining down. She rolled slightly so she was on top of the Scorpion girl, looking down at her with a grin.

"How about a little exploring?" She looked down below the covers then back up at Senshuken "your choices are yes and yes."

There was a chuckle.

"I'm looking forward to seeing what you plan. For now though?"

Sumiko stood up, offering a hand.

"Shall we go watch through the flowers?"

(Yeah let's wrap up in a fade to chatting among the flowers?)

I've been very busy this week and I'm going to be away for 4 days from Tomorrow - will try to keep up on posts but can't guarantee

Guess that's it?

Sumiko kept a neutral expression, looking to Yakumo to see how she was.

Despite the blistering heat, Sumiko made her way to the sanctuary again ready to work on getting the samples prepared again. She was quietly excited - confident that the two of them could complete this work quickly. Once she found her way to the room she met up with Kioku, smiling and bowing. "Soshi...

Sumiko managed to hold back a frown.

That wasn't necessary...a tactic to distract maybe?

With the Imperial arriving, Sumiko watched on

Sumiko had made sure to arrive early enough to support her kin. She remained as part of the crowd though, rather than coming too far forward.

"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 ...

There was panic in the Spider embassy. Systems were going up and down, and it seemed most people didn't know what to do. Sumiko sighed softly, sitting down at one of the machines after being "politely" demanded to resolve the issue. Balancing her beloved spider plushie on the computer as she got to ...

Sumiko had remained at the sanctuary throughout the afternoon. There was some science happening! Invested in the project, she continued to work, getting quite far already.

D10 LA recreating Oborozuki Dragon Newt - Lore: Biology/Int (Sage). | 5k4 ⇒ 37 (TN: ?)

Sumiko smiled warmly. "Now comes the easy part right? Bringing them back!" Sumiko, you're donating the sample then, yeah? If you want to help with the recreation, we can get another D10 thread going to do the rolls, or we can do that in the background (tell me in your PF if you'd prefer to do that)....

"Asking permission to kidnap?" Sumiko grinned "I shall allow it, as long as I get to stay in a comfortable bed against your lovely warm self." She took a moment to think before shaking her head. "I'll be honest, I haven't researched further. So if there's anywhere you want to surprise me with, you c...

Sumiko looked confused for the briefest moment, then laughed.

"You are unbelievable" Sumiko grinned, giving Senshuken a kiss "thank you though, it's helped a lot. Even if it confused me. You don't need to keep making jokes though, I'll accept other distractions."

(ooc - making this for after people leave the tomb and go for snacks!

Having left the tomb, Sumiko took a breath of the air outside - even if it wasn't a real tomb, it was well sealed! She moved over to collect a bottle of water, and sipped on it as she looked at the other groups coming out.

"Susumu-san... Dai-san... you're both too kind.", she says. "As I said, I do think one of the samples shouls be enough to recreate the species. An extra sample could help expedite the process, but..." "I insist" Sumiko said with a smile "while I could do more with the samples, a restoration of the ...

Sumiko smiled as the door opened.

"Good job mina-sama, now lets's head out!"
