The New Winds

"Good enough at what, Moto-san? Yelling the right way when they strike...? Going through unarmed kata? Have you seen an oni run away because a samurai yelled at it, or seen one beaten to death with someone's fists? Expectations and kata in a dojo are all well and good until I'm on a wall keeping mon...

"Beauty?" she repeated, looking up at him for a moment, little expression on her face. She was analyzing his, to try to see if he was teasing her, but it didn't seem like it, at least not at first glance. She wasn't always great at discerning such things. She certainly wasn't the ideal epitome of be...

"Everything is probably training, Moto-san." Rini said plainly, looking down for a moment to eat a bit of food, letting it hang in the air. "Everything we do... our routine and schedule every day, how we react to such high expectations, it's all just... training." she said with a small nod, and taki...

Rini rolled her eyes a bit, though there was at least a brief moment of an upturn at the edge of her mouth. Full of himself, he really could have been a crab. "I don't know that song, but it seemed nice. I'm Yasuki Rini." she said softly. She spoke fairly plainly, and was in anything a bit curt whic...

Rini was moving to enter but paused for a moment to listen to the end of song, letting the last note hang for a moment. With all the wood, and water, and the quiet, the acoustics were pleasant. She stepped forward, giving a small nod of acknowledgment to Kokyou as she descended into the water. It's ...

"Yasuki Rini." she said, without very much intonation. Her occasional propensity for few words might come as a relief to the Moto that certainly didn't ask for company, though perhaps might come as a disappointment to the other crab looking for conversation. There was a bit of a pause, a lingering s...

Rini wasn't sure exactly where to go, but as she scanned around she saw someone distinctly Crabby. Upon quick further inspection, it seemed that they were a Kaiu as well, all of the slight comforts of being around a fellow crab without the intensity of some of the other crab families; in her experie...

Rini was really starting to feel... bad at this. At least she knew about the clans. That was something. D1, If you don't know, now you know, Int/Lore:History , TN4; 1d10: 3 , failure D1, If you don't know, now you know, Int/Great Clans , TN 5; 1d10: 7 , pass D1, If you don't know, now you know, Int/...

Rini gave her head a small shake as they prepared to begin. She was tired, and frankly a bit distracted by there being so many others around. They were all so different, and it caused her mind to wander a bit during the prayer section. She spoke quietly, fumbling slightly, more frustrated with herse...

Her clothing is generally kept fairly neat and tidy, likely influenced by the ever-pr...
