Winds of Ambition - Game Thread

"Why not? Maybe I'd mind if you were my wife, but what does it matter to me what my mistress does in her free time? I just want you, I don't want to chain you, Red." He grins. "Well, maybe once in a while, just for fun."

"Really now." Kyouka sighed, "You do know your bastard son is a skilled fighter, yes?" She asked, licking her lips seductively. "And you do know what I do whenever I see skilled fighters." She said, with her murderous grin. "Can you really say that when I kill him... or, maybe you'll do it yourself on the off chance he beats me?"
 
The woman giggles. "A meeting? My mistress simply sent me here to ensure you that you're a most welcome guest here in the capital. Well, she did have one question: How long have you had a former retainer of the emperor Gotaka in your employ?" Jurobei genuinely has no idea what she's talking about.

Jurobei stayed silent, not answering the question, only looked at the woman, wondering who she was truly working for.
 
She sees that one book teaches how to create a simple offensive fireball, strong enough to immolate a single person, and with practice, a small group. Another spell does something very similar to the tiara, enhancing her diplomatic skills. A small script of paper marks out how to perform a shadow clone spell, summoning an identical copy of one's self that can be commanded by the user and interact with the physical world to a small extent.
Hmm... The fireball and the clone seem like they can be useful... the tiara as well... “Very nice... how much would the fireball and the clone spells cost me? And would you mind if I give the tiara a try? I'd like to see how it looks on me...” Midori asked after examining all the offered items.
 
Inazuma look in the darkness.
"I'm not looking for cure to 'free' myself. I'm looking for cure to free my clan, my family, my mothers and sisters! As long as I use my body and spirit, there is a way for me." She didn't take her kunai, kunoichi knows if female in the darkness want her death, she would kill her long ago.
"But I guess there is a prize for it, like it is prize for everythink. Maybe you show yourself up, poet? It would be easier to talk."
The woman walks out of the shadows.

"I can offer your sisters their freedom as well."
 
"Really now." Kyouka sighed, "You do know your bastard son is a skilled fighter, yes?" She asked, licking her lips seductively. "And you do know what I do whenever I see skilled fighters." She said, with her murderous grin. "Can you really say that when I kill him... or, maybe you'll do it yourself on the off chance he beats me?"
"I'm not sure he'll take your offer. He's found himself a girl." Shintaro smiles.

Though meant to be worn with nanban clothes, the tiara suits Midori, framing her head well without being too ostentatious. She can feel the effect the moment she puts the piece on, confidence flowing through her. The woman names a fairly high price. Midori realises that she has enough to buy both of the spells, or a spell and the tiara, but not enough for all three. If she buys two items, her funds will run fairly dry. (-1 wealth. Sorry, I forgot to mention that Midori has two wealth, since her sister gave her some money.)
 
Inazuma wraped arms across cheast.
"Yes, you can share with me information about ritual, I know that already. But tell me, what do you want from me or my sisters? Because in your pure hearth I won't belive."
"I'd like you to keep doing what you've been doing. In fact, I'd like you to do better than you've been doing. Make yourself indispensable to your father, and gain his trust. All you have to do besides that, is tell us what moves he makes.

Inazuma laught for that.
"I serve to him since I was born, and if I can tell something about him, he trust anybody. People are tools to him, he care abut them as long they are usefull to him. He don't see me as daughter, only like servant." She smile sarcastic.
"But why I should think you would be better? I don't know anything about you, except your web of power reach far and you have much wealth. Yes, taking off curse is intresting and it is something what I wanted, but it won't help me or my sister if Lord Yokuboo started hunting us down as traitors, with all his forces."
 
Inazuma laught for that.

"If you're not a fool, he won't find out, not until he's already dead." The masked woman looks at Inazuma. "As for us, well... We're people who want to see this nation bettered."
 
"I'm not sure he'll take your offer. He's found himself a girl." Shintaro smiles.

"Has he now?" Kyouka cooes, "Well, he won't be the first married samurai I'll cut down." She added in a more devious tone. "Mmh. I guess I'm stuck here until my dress finishes drying." She sighed, "Ah. I hope the tailor stays open til later." She said, remembering her as she how her bodysuit was being repaired.
 
"If you're not a fool, he won't find out, not until he's already dead." The masked woman looks at Inazuma. "As for us, well... We're people who want to see this nation bettered."
Inazuma don't belive in this bullshit about 'Better nation'.
"Yes, better nation, it is purpose which we all want to gain. Problem it is, many people have diffrent point of view how to gain that." She look into masked woman eyes.
"I don't ask for ypour leaders names or your party title, but what you want to change I would like to know. Soldier better fight for cause, when he know his purpse." She steped closer to masked woman.

"I suppose you couldn't give him a break?" Shintaro yawns. "I guess I could go find a maid and get her to give you her dress."

"We want to end the squabbling, the court politics, and create a new system. No longer will the people be ruled by venal and corrupt lords who care only for their own benefit. We're going to change Hattori, so that no one stands between the people and their emperor."
 
"I suppose you couldn't give him a break?" Shintaro yawns. "I guess I could go find a maid and get her to give you her dress."

"Ho? Is that a request for your "mistress?" Kyouka said in a teasing tone, nodding at his suggestion to get a dress. "Yeah, that'll be wise. You're too tired to be any fun while I wait. So, I'd rather get on with my business."

"Now you sound like your sister." He laughs, before getting up and leaving the room. A few minutes later, an attractive maid with a height and bust similar to Kyouka's enters the room. "Y-You wanted my kimono, ma'am?"
 
She remains looking at him. "Lord Yokuboo? Very well, if you don't want to answer, I won't press you. Her majesty would like to have the chance to speak with you, when it's convenient."

"Indeed, how fast the wind changes direction." He said with wonder, idly commenting on woman's fast change of her lady's wishes. "Today evening, in adobe of the gardens, would be the fastest." He answered shortly. This place also wasn't too public.
 
"We want to end the squabbling, the court politics, and create a new system. No longer will the people be ruled by venal and corrupt lords who care only for their own benefit. We're going to change Hattori, so that no one stands between the people and their emperor."
"Replace lords for... what? Officials? Because no emperor can't do everything by himself, he need people to reach far away to provinces. So you want change lords, who have their position by right of birth, to people, who will be chouse for their skills and their services?" That would be intersting, but Inazuma doubts it would be possible to done.
"Let's say, that I would help you. Last days I lost for looking for your clues and trails, time wasted what I should looking for information to my lord. If I want to gain his trust, I need some valuble data or inforamtion, what I could give him. Real information, because the lies he will quicly discover and won't belive on next time."
