"Of course they have feelings. They're not the Spider," Yesugen said with a small smile. It remained as she thought about her place in the family. "Didn't keep my family from teaching me a bit about riding. Perhaps it would be more enjoyable than flying... who knows, really?" She thought on the offe...

Actually, I'm extremely aggravated right now (unrelated to the game) and can't give this the attention it deserves.

I'm fine with bowing out for more shugenja support. But yes, Yesugen can do bushi things

I basically will attend unless someone else wants to. Been inactive and don't want to take it from someone who's been doing more in game!

So the complaints had finally come out. All that talk of flying. Well, Yesugen perfectly understood the envy, not that she was the type to stoke it. "My stay so far has shown me that it diplomatic work is not for me." She looked to the ceiling. "I met with one of the Ide. It fits her much better, th...

On the note of flying, Yesugen simply took it as a pun at her own expense. "That or I will end up entrusting it to clan scientists." It really depended if she made the time for it or not. "I simply did not think it wise to hand over curses."

Yesugen pressed her lips together. "I don't think I had an explicit oath, no," she said, doubt in her voice; it seemed unlikely that such a thing would even matter coming from a Scorpion.

"Yes you have heard correctly. I don't think I would be a good Utaku if I hadn't earned my wings."

"I cannot be certain if it would change the physiology. But if the more unsavory corruptions in the universe can alter things, then I am lead to believe a simple haunting would too." Kami forbid that she ever encounter the Taint (ehehehehehehehehe). Yesugen too placed a finger on the vial. "Yes, for...

Unwilling to let this go any longer, Yesugen kept at it with the samples. The experience of researching the other one seemed to have helped her greatly on her end of the work. "Iuchi-sama must have much to do on an average day. I am on shore leave so it hasn't been difficult to work on what I please...

"Her mother, yes. She only requested one sample." Yesugen closed her eyes and hung her head. "While I would have loved to have returned it to the clan too, I had given my word to retrieve it for her. At the very least, I suspect that the project was of sentimental value due to association with her d...

Yesugen, reinvigorated by the break, took it upon herself to get a head start on the studies. "Since this is a pure sample, I must imagine that it will prove useful for its genetic code. Exactly how useful that'll be is up to interpretation." She pressed her lips together. "So in excising any haunti...

"The ghost was also a child. I imagine the practice of lying couldn't have been so instilled to counteract that innocence." Yesugen pressed her lips together. "Lots of threats of death. One threw a chair at me. But the child wanted one of us to record her to send a message to her mother." Yesugen to...

Regardless of the Iuchi's intentions, Yesugen wouldn't have been too fussed by the phrasing. "There's no need for privacy. This is a matter which affects our clan." She held up one of the samples with a pensive smile. "Insight into Scorpion research? By all accounts, this appears to be legitimate. A...

Yesugen had brought back three total, though one had gone back into the custody of Soshi Kioku. The weird crying lady had really wanted it. Is that part of her keikaku? It seemed genuine... "I have been told it is best not to taunt the forces that be." She had done so, of course, at the lab by being...

"They are currently resting in my rooms." Yesugen nodded. "I have done some cursory looks." She pressed her lips together. "But I'm at a loss thus far. Much of it I could do but... I believe we need to beseech the kami."

Oh yeah, I guess Yesugen could be a viable pick to help. Willing to sit out though.

"I'm honored that you have answered my request," Yesugen said, coupled with a polite bow. "I pray that you have read my report." Much of it had been the basics of going to some research lab on the planet (with express permission from a Soshi!) and how she'd happened upon some samples. "I still am in...

After days of trying to figure it out herself, Yesugen came to the obvious conclusion: spiritual matters required someone with more expertise than a woman who just read random pamphlets from time-to-time. Fortunately, she had a name of a Unicorn shugenja and, after much planning ahead, came to meet ...

It seems like the group is filled up but if you need an extra body, lemme know.

For her part, Yesugen opted to confer with the Unicorn Embassy in regards to almost all of her gathered objects. While she did not outwardly state that she distrusted a ronin's words, perhaps he gleamed it from her behavior. She was, after all, not a trained diplomat. Indeed, perhaps her fellow Unic...
