Sometimes Dead Men Do Tell Tales

Sen kept the same neutral pleasantry on his face throughout, even if he was a little perturbed that the Hokage had not introduced his companion. Shortly after they were sat, the older woman would come back with Tea as Fanho was speaking, setting down saucers, cups, and the pot, before bowing and lea...

New Challenger

Suzuko found herself immersed in a brooding state of mind, consumed by the peculiar absence of the empathetic strings that usually intertwined her soul with those of others. The void left by their disappearance was palpable, a stark contrast to the usual overflow of emotions that coursed through her...

Beachside Barbecue [open]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2TdUubTiLY Suzuko slumped along a beachside bash, feeling cold, and for once she didn't feel the strings of others emotions reaching out to her, begging to be felt and heard. There was an emptiness to it, especially in such a crowded area as the festival, and none o...

Zen and the Art of Sand Castles [Open]

In the midst of the beach party's facade, a pervasive sense of hollowness tainted the air, despite the ostensible revelry of spring. The festivities, like shadows cast by unseen forces, danced in a macabre pantomime of joy. Resembling a twisted reflection of the Iron Banner festival's deceitful tran...

Sometimes Dead Men Do Tell Tales

The Heart Empire lit on fire. The moment the Hokage had broke past the border crossing on his way into Tea Country, the sensory array that covered the border would ping him and his companion, two very powerful and worrisome signals. The rumor mill would then tag them for further observation, giving ...

Evening at the Scallop and Nabe

Suzuko didn't eat out all that often. Even when she was outside of the empire, she was usually travelling with her entire class, and they usually had someone cooking for them as a group. This cuisine, usually hearty stews, casseroles, rice en-masse with fish, things that were easy and cheap to make ...

[Open] Coming of Age

When Suzuko had received the invitation to Akihiko's 'coming of age' ceremony, she internally blanched. It seemed just as likely as not that this whole thing was a setup for some stupid prank that Aki was going to try and pull on as many people at once as he could manage. They hadn't discussed their...

Suzuko saw Ibuku's struggle, but nodded her thanks regardless, glad that he was doing what he could to help in this awfully awkward situation.

Shouldering her backpack, Suzuko opened her senses a bit, taking the lay of the land, before nodding.
