"Ugggh, you're so sweet." Complained the Mantis, not minding at all.
"Okay then, we'll make a thing of it. But promise me you'll let me know if I'm being too awesome at the wrong hours. I don't want you hiding in your drafting room unless that's what you want to be doing...or unless we're being ...

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.”

Tilting her ...

Ryosei felt very Crab, very grounded. Was the prodigal/black sheep part just because of his past substance abuse issues? Or did the family disapprove of the fleshcraft career, or....something else? I've enjoyed seeing black sheep this game who weren't basically going "I was just too rebellious and ...

Snip
He nodded

"yup that's what I've been dedicating most of my time to. I won't be able to even get a working prototype with priests to do the prayers to bless the armor but I can get a concept ready to show potential investors maybe military contractors." He shrugged "I also need some more ...

Pause.
"Uhh, fuck yeah this is happening!"
The Mantis playfully protests being wrapped up but puts no actual effort into avoiding it, her cheeks reddening.

"I mean, yes, 'we' are going to be 'us'. I like you so much I'm even considering sitting and reading a book with you on a rainy day, and ...

First off a wonderful hat off to our amazing GM team for putting together a fun and enjoyable game!

Second thank you to any of the players I had a chance to thread with interacting with y'all was great fun! A special shout out to Ochiba for giving me the romance anchor I needed to stay tied to the ...

Ochiba gets distracted enough that one piece of tofu is promptly launched out of a wok and ricochets off a wall before landing back with a sizzle.

"If you can get used to that sort of thing I'm losing my touch. Was half expecting to have to bring you breakfast in bed for your wounds."
The ...

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 ...
