Mitsuko came into the tournament with a lot of guilt about being a bad Kuni, but several people early on were hitting her with "Well, but you're here , and even your Tiger-mom didn't do that," which really resonated. She got to a "being special isn't bad" frame of mind and kinda started enjoying th...

I think it might have been mentioned in the Discord. Which might not have filtered out.

He smiles warmly at her, a definite sense of having enjoyed the experience present in the air. When she moves next to him, he reapplies the blanket over both of their shoulders. There is a nod at mentioning a foundation and learning, but he doesn't disagree or try to elaborate, giving tacit agreemen...

He nods as she begins working through it, considering the fact that he needs to do the same for her perspective. He is going to do his best. Making an effort is not enough and she deserves more than that. But for now she was working on her own journey and he watches and listens to her with a support...

We welcome any and all employment

*hires to drive all of Enders subplots as the villains*

I had a lot of fun exploring the problems and ideas related to their oddly arranged betrothal and the two characters. Thank you so much for the chance to do so with you

Return question, any scene that you think we should have gotten too?

Thanks for asking about the character link way back. Apologies for then foisting the expressionless void on you! Though that went in more interesting directions than I could have planned with the backup Loremaster (in case ishiken weren't allowed). What was the seed for the twins and how they devel...

He nods in understanding at her explanation of how she feels about assurances. "You're right, I can't see the future. I don't have that ability and can't guarantee anything. However, I can have faith. I can believe in the intent, drive and goals that both of us hold. I say things with certainty and ...

I haven't figured out how yet, but I want to get some hip hop feel a la Samurai Champloo. That's a work in progress. This is the way to go. And what you do is normalize sadane as slam tracks and rap battles. Make the clever wordplay game more musical and general culture can follow. :D Having it so ...

I think things started off much better with Mitsuko than they ended between us But it was fun!

Yeah, it happens. But thanks for threads

Thanks to Jiro, gift giver extraordinaire and provider of excellent tea. I'm pretty sure Rin has a strong soft spot for the Phoenix now between him and Natsuko. Thanks! Her appreciation for Jiro will only last until Mitsuko mentions his foolish activities :D But I was happy to have the scenes with ...

Indeed! Kite flying fun! Jiro will definitely be writing to you!

Thanks for the scenes

So... Biggest curveball the game threw you? Biggest curveball Jiro threw you? Biggest missed opportunity for you in this game? Favorite scene in this game? And a couple bonus queries, since Jiro and Kasumi had a lot of, er, interaction... 1. Why Kasumi in particular? 2. He ever going to tell Natsuk...

Had fun! Hope to see many of you again!

Jiro stepped up for his turn during naming, his face neutral and his voice soft but not quiet. He bowed respectfully in recognition of the competition, participants, judges and tradition. He tosses the slip with his name int the fire, then accepts the ceremonial blade. "Jiro is gone, but lessons lea...

Uh oh! Curveballs! Duck!

Was nice having a functional betrothal to contrast my dysfunctional one with!

Didn't have a lot of interaction, but thanks

I was honestly surprised myself I went the way I did and caused the problems I did. Had a lot of fun with Kasumi and Jiro! He'll forever be simultaneously confused and happy for the time he spent with her. Thanks for an amazing game.

Thank you for running. I enjoyed the game. Look forward to the next installment!

He runs a hand gently through her hair while her head rests on his shoulder. The other hand scratches her back softly. "I am not trying to prove that I can care and there was no hyperbole, Natsuko-san. I meant it exactly as I said it and will say it again, so many times." His chest and shoulders ris...
