A quick question here.

Unburying this one here rq

Ochiba practically purrs (even as the headphones start blaring ‘my lovely bushi bumps’).

“You’re a big strong Crab, you can handle it.” she half turns and plants several kisses along Ryosei’s jawline.

“Besides, now it’s mine turn to cook you breakfast. Something to soothe all those aches and ...

"Excitement is... well, quite the word for it Kaiu-san," Honoka would say, before rising and offering Ryosei a bow in turn. With a wave of her hand she would indicate the bench seat open beside her. "You are under no obligation to join me, Kaiu-san, but if you would I would be delighted."


He ...

She likely saw that she had pulled him out of some walking contemplation as he looked up suddenly "ahh Yasuki-sama." He bows deeply "good afternoon. I hope you had a restful night after the uh...excitement."

Ryosei had left Ochiba's apartment and was going for a bit of a walk to further process the events of last night. It was his first violent altercation in over half a decade.

His hands in his pockets he walked through the park with his mind focused inward as he followed the path.

Ryosei awoke with a smile as the smell of cooking food and the sound of questionable music taste drifted into the room. He crawled out of bed and slipped on some pants not bothering with a shirt.

He wandered into the kitchen and smiled softly at the sight of the Mantis woman dancing and singing ...

He tilted his head side to side "just talks of becoming ronin if things didn't work and mentioning that these schemes might cost her a life if things went sideways."

He shrugged "but if she's half the investigator that I get the feeling she is and things seem to be going well I don't foresee any ...

Should anyone want the engineer I am mostly free for D11 likely just event slots spoken for for now

"well it would explain why we get along so well. We are both pretty similar when you break it down." He let out a little chuckle.

"But do you know how her schemes to get here long term are going? I know she's dead set on it she made some mildly worrying claims last time we spoke."

She grins, jogging up and clapping Ryosei on the shoulder.
"Just watching me do what I do best. You did pretty well yourself, Crab don't mess around, even the ones with big brains who can do something more productive than just blasting."

Her expression turns slightly more serious for a moment ...

Pang


His head tilted to the side and then his eyebrows went up "oh this? Nothing much really. I am just getting some parts ready to he laser etched. I have little skill with artistry but luckily I have some connects that can do the design work and I can have the machine do it for me."

He ...

"What a cluster...ah well."
Ochiba shrugs, already making plans before heading over to check on Ryosei (important), Sorato (less important but, priest).

Passing Junpei she'll offer a brief.
"Kuni-sama, you got balls, give you that."
And a nod before continuing on.


Ryosei had taken some ...

Fluff incoming

--------------------
Voiding damage

Wants to free move to have cover against Kuni and friend
Complex shoot Kuni

D10 shooting the Kaiu grazed tn +3 tn 22 | 6k3 ⇒ 22 (TN: 22)
D10 shooting the Kaiu damage | 6k2 ⇒ 16

[GM GHOST!]

Okay, that hurt. Ryosei would shoulder on to get a jump on those who came from the car they saw earlier. If he knew what happened to Shiwahime, he might have considered doing this twice!

------------------
Spends 1 Clue Point to -10 Damage! Should be 3 damage in all.
Simple moves to ...

Ghosting instructions: aim is to flank behind the other Kuni and scions. Next turn move up but behind as much cover as possible while being within free movement of line of sight.

Focus Kuni, then scions

"Fair enough, I told Ochiba-san something similar so I understand. Tmi perhaps but I have been through enough flings and casual things. If I'm investing time with someone now I want it to mean something, ya know?"

Snip


He leaned back with a smirk on his lips "well I'd make a joke about you lacking modesty but I did straight up tell you that I found you attractive." A small chuckle "but you came here and looked to impress so I have to guess that those feelings go a little both ways."

At her next words ...

He smiled and nodded "Nothing to be ashamed of Agasha-san I often get lost in such things when I think of a new project." His smile and tone were intended to be reassuring.

"I would understand your concern. I understand that these things can get messy, clan secrets and developing technology. I do ...

Even cooler Nagisa noises


His grin was mischievous "oh yeah bonding? Is that what the kids are calling it these days?" He needled her playfully.

"But I hope she stick around too. This place will be good for her. It was good for me when I started rebuilding. She's gonna be on a similar journey ...

"You have to be quite the autodidact to learn such an advanced science as fleshcrafting without aide from the school. And I did a teensy little weeny research before coming, light one, nothing that tells me what happened to you."

She shrugged gently. "I have a few lives left for curiosity to kill ...
