Oooh time to organise the first glorious shugenja wrestling/ martial arts championship it seems?

I've got the Earth; we'll get Mai for the water.

Mud wrestling, anyone?

Toritaka Noriko walks the streets of Tsuma a new woman. Among others, she feels a need for new robes; even fires that barely touched her did not treat her clothing so kindly, and she is not the only one, to be sure. Fortunately, Crane lands are replete with vendors for such things. And she is lookin...

Coming back for part 3?

Jiujutsu 5?

I'll be your huckleberry.

Coming back for more?

So, what do you see Kunio doing after, if he's not coming back for part 3?

I enjoyed Saburo/Sasaiko interactions in the dueling Thread when Saburo got burned.

I'm flattered, truly.

Planning on founding a new Minor Clan Alliance?

There being no Minor Clan representative on hand, and the young Falcon being set to marry into the Phoenix, Toritaka Sasaiko does one last thing and presents herself before Asako Himeya. Bowing deeply, she asks if the shugenja will hear and attest to the oaths of one who will join her Clan and calli...

The flames surround and envelop Sasaiko, and she feels their heat, but her own incantation is complete even as the flames begin to touch her. A hail of small stones leaps up from the ground around Tanshin, pelting him from below and bruising him. Sasaiko bows. "May the winner have joy of his victory...

Favorite Sasaiko scene (With link!) and favorite scene you read that Sasaiko wasn't involved in! So far (because I'm still in some that are moving, so things might change), my favorite one to have been in has been this one: http://newwinds.fallenash.com/viewtopic.php?f=237&t=1511. Brushing up again...

I understand.

Which leads to the next question: Whom do you think was messing with us with the fans?

Absent the existing engagement, would Aiichiro go for Sasaiko?

(4, 4, and 1, respectively.) The stone is the stone, however bright the flame burns that lights it. And when it begins to move, it does so with force and focus. Sasaiko intones a gravelly prayer.

I'm still in active threads, and I'm going to try for at least one other thing, so there may be some stuff I can't answer--but what I can, I will!

She is clearly faster, poised for action as she assesses her opponent, probing for weakness...

"I receive it humbly," Sasaiko says of the food.

After a moment, changing the topic utterly, she asks "Have you given thought to your new name?"

She nods, gives him a small wink.

"We shall see how matters progress."

And she helps him out.

Solid as the very earth, she does not move at the taunt.

It is the howling wind around the mountain, and only that.

Sasaiko, having ensured that Saburo is well, returns to the ring and bows to it, to the judges, and to her opponent. She breathes deeply, centering herself, making ready to act, boulders held to the mountainside by mere pebbles that are grinding away... (Initiative 36, https://orokos.com/roll/841230)
