He smiles and releases a breath he hadn't known he was holding when she seemed interested in the idea.

Ryo nods along with her "Well hey we can make sure I have my own space if the energy gets too much, I can always go tinker somewhere or hide in my drafting room."

Snip.


Ochiba leans back into him with a smile that slowly grows a little surprised at Ryosei’s offer.

“I… I mean, you sure? I’m kind of loud, and I’m not the most organised. Plus you know, there’s a lot of chaotic energy, which is a good thing but I understand all stuff in moderation ...

Re: A Pirate's Life for Me - Yoritomo Ochiba Q&A


Hello! Thank you for joining us once more and playing Banner!

Despite not doing the evil thing, I think Ochiba managed to do her fill of things and leave her triple-parked mark on the island! Really glad that Ochiba and Ayame managed to hit it off on Day 1, they narrowly avoided going into a ...

Thanks for dragging Hitomi out of her shell (and occasionally me out of writing funk land)! It was very entertaining watching Ochiba chaotically pinball across Nakahama. Good to know evil Nagisa's ship is in good hands...well, chaotic evil ones, but they'll take care of the ship.

Two Nagisa enter, one Nagisa leaves, this is Nakahamadome!

It was great having a sensible character grounded in the island for folks to bounce off (much like a sports car bounces off a curb). And I'm thrilled she found a special someone, probably due to acronyms.

Do you think she'll ever travel ...

Thank you for partnering up for some fun scenes! Kanna Can, and so can Kaida.

Also, she does have a big Failure of Bushido, that while didn't matter mechanically, it did inform some of her choices. Leaving that one for y'all to guess!

Thank you for being a powerful and might beach oshidama partner even as real-life-no-oni was set on taking you down (it will not succeed).

Very glad to have had you on team Mantis! Everyone needs an auntie, and a huge cup to drink sake out of.

Are you expecting Yakura to stay in Nakahama for the foreseeable future? And are there plans to expand the casino?

Thanks for Mantising with me! I loved our threads, I think the two hit it off quite well and complimented each other in the worst/best fashion.
