You are Kagome Higurashi, an average teenage girl from Tokyo. Well at least you WERE average. After a series of strange and unfortunate events you find yourself in a strange place with even stranger people.

You’ve managed to track down your attacker from earlier in the day and have her surrounded. It’s been a good hunt, but its far from over.

You breath deeply and exhale; some of your breath catching the light chill of the pitch black night. You arch your back and look to a tall tree and the shadowy figure nestled in the branches. No doubt it’s her.

A few moments pass before she speaks up. Her voice distant and flat from so high up. “So, I take it you’ve come to give yourself up then?”

Your eyes narrow as you think of how to best approach the situation, before your instincts take over and let them do it for you. Placing your hand on your hip and using the other to incriminatingly point at the inky specter in the canopy above “I’m here to negotiate your unconditional surrender.”.

This woman was after you or your party and you need to know why.


Kagome; assess the situation:

HP: 18/18
Energy: 100/100
Fate Challenges: [whatever the dice roll was]/4

>>36453510
Either or both. Maybe a why did you attack/who sent you
>>
>>36453388
Lead in with something casual.
"Do you go around attacking people often, or am I a special case?"
...I was trying to write casual, but thats the best I got.
>>
>>36453564

Well, before Kagome displayed an innate talent for blind-fighting, she saw Sango coming into the room with some rope. She might have thought that the gas would have been enough to knock out Kagome and Inuyasha.
>>
>>36453783
>Casual

For our group that's.. an interesting idea. Yura casual:WHHRRIII Mutt casual is probably a fist fight...

And other guy who's name I've forgotten due to lack of combat ability can't sell her anything.
>>
>>36453805
Point taken forgot about the rope.

If she asks why we're being so blase about this, we can point out that she wasn't a rotting king who spoke broken Japanese trying to skewer us, or a bunch of crooked samurai attempting to harvest our skin and organs. So that makes her OK in our book.

A light breeze blows, rustling your hair as you wait for her to respond. “And you honestly believe I would just go and give up after you found me and formed a little plan?”

“You could run, sure, but you wouldn’t make it far. I’ve seen to that. What I really want to know is who hired you and what do they want with me? I haven’t even BEEN here that long and it feels like every few days someone else wants me dead! So what gives?”

She pauses again as the wind picks back up and dies down, Yuras threads bobbing in the breeze. The would be assassin finally has her answer; “You’re awfully demanding for someone in your position.”

“Who the hell do you think I am? I’m Higurashi Kagome! You should be one to talk! Look at you! Trapped in a tree like a scared cat! Now are you going to answer my questions from up there, or do I have to bring you down here?” She’s obviously testing the waters with you and while you can’t avoid revealing information, perhaps you can feed her misinformation instead. Or at least the wrong idea about you for a moment.

“Ok Higurashi, what makes you so certain that I was hired?” she responds.

You swirl your tongue in your mouth as you reenact the scene in your head “You’re too skilled to be an ordinary bandit looking for a house to spend the night in and that ninja outfit of yours reinforces that theory. At best you’re a hired killer and at worst some masterless bandit.”

“Hmm” she chuckles “You’re quite observant Higurashi.” You hate the way she’s being formal and potentially emphasizing the wrong parts of your name, but you keep it to yourself as she continues “Someone did in fact hire me to bring them to you, but I’m not a ninja. I’m something far more dangerous to you and your companions, I’m a demon slayer.”

The conviction in her voice sends a chill up your spine.

“Seriously?” you say, putting both hands on your hips and leaning back to try and get a better look at her. “SERIOUSLY?”

“You’re some kind of bad ass “Demon Slayer” and your preferred line of work is tying up human girls? Honey, were I’m from, you’re better suited for a brothel with an MO like that. Would have made your like a lot easier if you just bought me a few drinks.”

Kujo stifles his laughter and completely silences himself after you glair at him.

“Now are you going to tell me who hired you and what they want or what?”

Thee figure shifts her position and stands, but it’s not quite a human shape. Maybe it’s just the darkness playing tricks on your eyes, but her silhouette seems pretty bulky and a little lopsided from what you remember of her. “Trying to antagonize me to give up the high ground… admirable, if a little transparent. While I don’t generally give up client info I may as well tell you since you’ll be meeting him one way or another.”

She shifts again as if stretching or readjusting herself “His name is Koga of the Wolf Demon Tribe. And he wants revenge. Now tell ME; why would he be interested in someone like you?”

We should let Kujo handle this one.

A few days ago, we were looking for an inn to stay the night. We came across what appeared to be a village from a distance, but it became readily apparent that it was deserted. Before long, we were set upon by a massive horde of wolves. They attacked us, and but we prevailed. Allegedly, I had a big role in preventing us from becoming another meal in their stomachs.

>Seems like you guys want to let Kujo handle this. Sound right?

Yeah, that sounds good.

Yep.

>Cutting back down on write in only options. Wanted to see how you guys handled longer social interactions on the fly.

>>36455819
Well in this instance It'd be awkward to talk about Kujo's family being killed.

Unless we just said we're hired to protect him from the man who killed his family.

I'd be more active, but the wifi where I am blocks 4chan and my wireless is crap here. Have to step out to load the page and the wifi seems to let me update but not post on mobile.

>>36455819
Personally, I'm just not the best at role-playing social stuff. I can bust out the occasional speech or something but unless I've been really focusing on a character for an hour or so, I can't really think like they would.

Regardless, I'm enjoying the back and forth here, and look forward to the rest of the session.

“Koga?”

You curse to yourself as Kujo slowly breaks cover and stands in front of you, completely ignoring your presence. “Did you say it was Koga that wants her?”

“I did, and who are y-“

Kujo interrupts her, his tone far more joyous and upbeat than you would expect; “I am Keisuke Kujo. You can simply call me Kujo if you wish. I have little need for formalities. While I’m not sure what Kagome has done to evoke the wrath of a fine woman like yourself and a powerful demon like your employer I’m sure we can all work something out without any further unpleasantness.”

“I have no interest in you, but I will ask what your relation is to that woman that would cause you to stick your next so far out.”

“Oh, again, please excuse me” he says bowing “This woman is my retainer. She’s simply a traveling mercenary I pay to escort me from location to location as I collect tribute from my other businesses or resupply stocks.”

“Is that so?” the would be assassin murmurs, the scraping sound of bark underlining her words.

“If you would excuse us for one moment, I must have a word with her to see if she has acted… out of turn in my absence.” His last few words are cold and bitter as he turns to you and throws his arm around your shoulder, stopping just behind the brush he was concealed in moments before.

“There is a path to be walked here Lady Kagome and I ask that you allow me to walk it; however you will be put in grave danger as well.”

Really, the only reason why we're on a journey is because of Kujo. If not, we might've just been bumming around with Inuyasha & Yura.

Just giving her the pile of 100 Yen store series of shampoo, conditioner, and treatments will earn her loyalty to death.

If she survives into the future. Perhaps we will find her as the proprietor of a hair salon, where the end of the day sweep up cuttings are all her's...

Actually if she did that she would probably get fat.
>>
>>36457123
If we bring back one thing from the future my vote is on conditioner. Shampoo is nice but can be harsh on hair.. conditioner on the other hand..
>>
>>36457162
It depends on the type of shampoo. Start with J&J baby. It isn't harsh and makes hair soft. Or a vitamin infused shampoo that treats split ends. She probably doesn't have a real scalp so no need to worry about Head & Shoulders.

Conditioners and oil treatments we can go wild with. Maybe even a battery powered hairdryer and thermasilk.

Watch, she'll have the power to weaponize mouse or gel, forge and hold mighty spikes or armor.

“So” you say furrowing your brow “You want to go ahead and use me as bait then have me kill Koga is that it?”

Kujo raises hs eyebrow and crosses his arms “Not exactly, but you will need to follow my lead. After all I can’t guarantee your safety.”

“Since I’ve been here everything has tried to kill me. There is no such thing as safety and if I ever want to get back and retake my home I can’t go backing out of things. I said I’d help and I meant it.”

The merchant closes his eyes and exhales, a slight smile crossing his face, “Very well.”

He stands up and slowly walks up to the tree again, looking up at the feminine form. Her hair blowing in the cold night breeze. No doubt she was watching the two of you like a hawk.

“I do not know what she has done, however as her master, her actions are my actions as mine are hers. If you wish to take her with you, I must humbly request that I also attend. If nothing else than to bargain for her life.”

In response, the assassin lifts something large above her lead before throwing it down and jumping after it. Your eyes widen as you realize what it is. A giant boomerange. Godamnit you have the past, it is beyond stupid. It cuts cleanly through the air and even through a few of Yuras trap lines. Inuyasha raises his arm to call out, but it’s too late. It crashes into the ground a few feet from Kujos feet with the ninja woman on top of it. She gets up from her kneeling stance and looks the two of you in the eye.

Inuyasha rushes out, sword drawn, but the woman is far quicker; in an instant she has a short bow drawn and an arrow nocked.

“Do not think for a moment that I believe any of your lies. If you turn heel, if you disobey a command, if you so much as consider fleeing I will kill you where you stand. Am I clear?”

“Perfectly so. I do have one request... Please tell your men in the woods to inform Koga that he’s finally caught Naraku.”

Someone remind me. Naraku was the guy who ate a fuckton of demons and stole their bodies or something like that right? He had some poison gas AoE and all of the body doubles?
>>
>>36457821
Well I love to predict things but they're never as dark as I make them out to be.

His "family" is responsible for the genocide of Koga's original clan. Koga has been attempting to destroy him for an indeterminable amount of time willing to sink as low as hiring a killer of his kind to stop him. Naraku wants a corrupted sacred jewel.. initially planning on taking it. However seeing it's new host he's decided it's fine right where it is. Under his eye and slowly becoming darker. -- side sperg onigumo kikiyo feelings.

>Knew we were surrounded

If he is Naraku, he is by far and above more competent than the show version ever was and has been subtly manipulating us ever since. Why take the jewel himself when he can just twist the arm of the one who has it AND his old former love rival while using his incarnation to influence larger politics as he nestles in with the most powerful force in the land. Not to mention he knew that Kikyo legend FAR too well. Dead son? Just a random guy and some acting.

Eh. Even if does turn out to be Naraku, this version of him seems pretty chill.
And we can always backstab him later if need be.
>>
>>36457896
Someone thinks similarly to me!

The Jewel is an analog for the Hongekui? Hongekei? object of power in bleach. Hes not straight up Naraku. Hes also Keske! So! He's not trying to take the object. he's trying to develop it to its true potential. Everything is as it should be! He sacrificed Kikyo for this opportunity! She has come again!

>>36458045
You wont disaude me! I know he's Uraharagumo!
>>
>>36458107
I'm not even sure what he wanted in canon. Some people mentioned the jewel, but everyone wants the jewel and we see pretty happy hanging with demons anyway.
>>
>>36458107
I'm with >>36458115
He's Naraku + Urahara Kisuke.

So of course he's chill. Naraku was never too intense anyway.

Fuck is going on in that picture?

>>36465369
Pls no.
>>
>>36457896
Ok, so what's with Koga then? Why focus on him?

Also once we kill him, we don't really have anything else to do in the quest... Wrap up in the next 1 to 2 threads?
>>
>>36466313
Given that there's the Coven and who knows what out there (including millions of demons- even though they don't have jewel shards to give themselves powerups), there's still plenty to do, or happen.
>>
>>36466313
Yeah nothing left to do. You know being trapped in the past, affected by the coven, have a plot rock somewhere in our body.
>>
>>36466313
Attempt to go home? Learn we possess the Shikon No Tama and learn about Midoriko? Naraku's machinations?

Huh, without a shattered Shikon, Shippo's mother never gets murdered.
>>
>>36466313
Well Kagome still kind of wants to go home and Inuyasha I think said he'd help.
>>
>>36466616
Just "going home." Isn't feasible.. if it was we would have done so. Remember the firing squad? We're stuck for the time being and need to accumulate power. To be honest the situation with Kujo isn't OUR QUEST! It was a means of acquiring employment.

If he's actually Naraku it's a major plot point. If not.. it's a blip on the radar with the Coven and finding out how to return to the present and or deal with future.co being the bigger priorities.

The Jewel is our means to accomplish these goals.
>>
>>36466588
I hope we never see him again.

So, let's take notes on the situation...

Keisuke declared himself as Naruku.
We're surrounded by wolf-demons.
Koga is not infatuated with Kagome.

We should just be glad Miroku isn't here to Kirby us.
>>
>>36467745
He just has an iwin button. A power so OP that the big bad had to invent a new enemy type just to deal with him.
>>
>>36467012
Even if he is naraku, he's only an issue if he actually attacks us. Which he might not, he seems to have a very different personality than canon. If he only wants to take over the world or something, we might even wind up helping him. Depending on his reasons why and what he'll do once he's in power, of course
>>
>>36468022

Or it could be that there's more than one Naraku out there. Like, the demon-composite Naraku and another dude who is also named Naraku for some reason, or he otherwise has some involvement with a Naraku dude.
>>
>>36468022
I said major plot point not problem. Even if he's a bit dark we're not much better. Could use the argument that from the inside we could mitigate the horrors or what have you.

As it stands the name Naraku shouldn't mean much to Kagome so all the panic and the like is metagame.

>>36467857
He'd have no reason to gib us.. we've also got two attractive women over one.
>>
>>36468082
Or Naraku went straight to cloning himself rather than just creating his 'children'. The clones could be autonomous, and probably have conflicting goals and schemes
>>
>>36468116
>He'd have no reason to gib us.
We're traveling with "Naraku". I don't remember him using Windtunnel on the two other Naruku attendents, but I'm not in a rush to test that.
>>
>>36468116
Honestly, we haven't been all that depraved yet. I mean, we killed some people, and the thing with the samurai was pretty gruesome, but that isn't that bad and we're still trying to do what's right. And I'm going to have to agree with Inuyasha that Yura shredded all the wolves.
Naraku's still eons above us when it comes to ducked IP stuff, at least if he's like his cannon self at all
>>
>>36468213
>fucked up stuff
I hate autocorrect
>>
>>36468213
Should have said as far as we've seen he's not any darker than we are.

I'd have to troll the archives.. but does the Naraku hold any real meaning to us? My whole point is that we can't really be worried or attack him.. if it's just a name.
>>
>>36468266
Nope, as far as we know, Naraku is a word that weird bug-lich thing said. That name-drop was snow fucking with the players, not with Kagome
>>
>>36468301
Most likely.
The only ones who know the name holds any true value are the players who have seen or know the original series.
>>
Have we even heard about a Naraku previous to this? I can't remember.
>>
>>36468421
See >>36468301
>>
If anything I'm willing to bet that if he's not the real Naraku that this is just our next plot thread.
>>
>>36468699
It is about due time he got involved in the plot.
>>
Haven't heard from snow yet so it looks like it'll probably be around 8 or 9 again
bummer
>>
>>36468301
Even if we haven't had the down-low on Naraku yet, having heard the name from "IT" should make us pause.
>>
>>36469752
It was after him I think. So wouldn't that give us an inclination towards supporting him?
>>
>>36470010
Maybe I guess? It all depends really. Besides, what was Naraku even doing for the 50 year he was around before Kagome showed up in canon?

Oh and Snow tweeted to say he'll be here at 8pm.
>>
>>36470316
We have no idea he was around for 50 years. It was a big reveal to Inuyasha and Kikyo as well.

You're using meta knowledge man. We just know he's a guy named Naraku.
>>
>>36470358
So even in the manga and anime he just sort of shows up out of the blue and fucks with the party because why not?
>>
>>36470382
As far as they know. If you're not big on Inuyasha background like it's seeming it goes like this.

Random criminal Onigumo who was a victim of horrible burns and paralyzed is treated by Kikyo. Serve the meek even if they're evil shits sort of thing.

Kikyo is the guardian of the sacred jewel he hears about it's powers is interested in it.

Inuyasha and kikyo have a half assed relationship they love each other but pussy foot around about it. - Inu wants the jewel to become a full demon - Kikyo protects it from demons so that's a no go.

Onigumo sells his soul/body to demons - becomes one - shapeshifting powers seem to be his thing.

He starts going by the name Naraku - Impersonates Kikyo/Inuyasha gets them at each others throats - Naraku mortally wounds kikyo disguised as inuyasha - She pins the real Inuyasha to a tree with that arrow we saw earlier - Inuyasha goes into magical coma thinking she betrayed him for no reason.

Kikyo has herself cremated with the jewel.

Kagome is her reincarnation and is born with the thing inside her.
>>
>>36470382
>>36470492 So with this info!

He wants the Jewel for power.. and reasons.

Kagome knows next to nothing about Kikyo - Inuyasha doesn't know about Naraku or any of that shit.

Eventually Naraku goes all big bad evil idiot - IT WAS I WHO TRICKED EVERYONE AREN'T I CLEVER! HAHAHAHAHAHAAA!

In this set up we have no idea if he's that same dickhead set up. If Kujo is actually him. If he is Kujo he's a blending between Naraku and Kesike so he's probably nowhere near as big a prick.. or worse a far cleverer one.

All sorts of implications blah blah blah.

Overall we've got no reason not to trust Kujo.
>>
Quick nitpick.

Naraku and Onigumo are not the same person.

Naraku was the Youkai who was born when Onigumo got his ass eaten.

Their goals are not really all that similar. In fact, Onigumo was quite pissed at Naraku.

Onigumo wanted Kikyo in the literal and carnal sense, but Naraku screwed that up by getting Kikyo killed, and he ended up sealing away Onigumo's mind deep inside himself.
>>
>>36470492
>>36470538
Ok then, so ya he just sits on his ass until the jewel comes back. If the guy we met a long while back is Naraku (due to cloak) then at least this version has been busy and built himself a city.

If it's Kujo after all, then man did he slum it.

Thanks for the clarifications. Been ages since I saw the show. As for why Naraku wants the jewel I remember something about his motivations being like Inuyashas original ones. He wants to get rid of his human heart... so he can kill Kikyo. Who I think he paid a witch to revive.
>>
>>36470708
Well Naraku in the show did seem to have a lot of resources. He was also Lord of a Castle as well - Songo's family died fighting demons he hired them to destroy.
>>
He does hate Kikyou, mostly because she keeps taunting him with his inability to kill her, and basically told him. "I know you're going to go collect the Jewel. And when you do...well, I'll come and take it from you, and probably kill you. Also, I'm so much more powerful than you, and because of Onigumo's heart deep inside you, you're very flesh will keep you from killing me."

And she got revived by an Ogre Hag, who made her a body of grave-soil, bones, and clay. The Hag wanted to use her as a pawn, and tried to steal Kagome's soul to put into Kikyou, due to reincarnation shenanigans.

Then Kikyou turned around and blasted the hag to ash, and after a little talk with Inuyasha, fell off a cliff.

She also survives off the souls of dead women, which she uses to power herself, and are brought to her by these weird flying serpent insects.
>>
>>36470852
In short.

Kikyo a shit.

You young hunter pauses for a moment before raising her eyebrow “Who?”

“It’s nothing” Kujo sighs, running his hand through his hair.

Inuyasha continues to bear his fangs, reluctant to go anywhere without a fight. “Calm your beast or I’ll have to put it down.”

“Who you callen a b-“ His rebuttal is cut short by an icy look from Kujo and reinforced by you giving him a slight nod. Scoffing he tucks the battered blade into the cloth folds of his belt and you make a mental note to find a scabbard for him when you can. The hunter releases her pull on the bow and promptly ties yours, Inuyashas, and Kujos hands together, taking an end of the rope and tying the last bit to her own wrist before giving a tug. Under different circumstances you may have found pleasure in this, but you shake the thought from your head.

“If that’s everyone, we should get moving.”

>You missed someone
>That’s all of us
>>
>>36472342

How did Sango miss Yura? Didn't she see all the hairs and stuff surrounding her position up in the trees?

Calling her out and letting herself get captured would allow us to keep tabs on her and perhaps build a bit of sincerity or trust with her? I'm pretty sure that rope wouldn't hold Yura well at all, seeing as how she could just untangle her arms and let the rope fall off.
>>
>>36472342
This seems to be Kujo's show. Don't say anything if he doesn't.
>>
>>36472342
>You missed someone

Is this a cue for the flea to fuck shit up?
>>
>>36472342
>That's all of us
>>
>>36472342

I'll second this option:
>>36472464
>>
>>36472454
In the show only Kagome and the old woman could see the hairs, so maybe it's a priestess thing?
Sango also used her boomerang as a platform to drop down with so she may have interpreted the threads she ripped through for branches.
>>
>>36472481
We don't say shit because she didn't catch Yura.
>>
>>36472481
Don't tell her she missed someone. Yura is the implied missing party.
>>
>>36472481

You mean Myoga? I'm pretty sure all he can do is talk and suck blood at the rate a normal tick can, in addition to being nearly invincible.

“Well then, lets get a move on. I don’t have all night woman.” Kujo sighs.

“Awfully eager to die.” The assassin responds, lifting up the large curved weapon and fashioning it to her back. “The sooner I can prove her innocence the sooner I can get back to my shops. I have no intention of dying here.”

The woman turns her back to you and tugs your bindings one last time before she begins walking. “Then you should have tried to run.”

If Sango is not very conversational, then talk with Inuyasha. If he's willing, maybe we can ask him how his father was like. Or ask him if he thinks Totosai (the weaponsmith) is OK, given Sesshomaru's less-than-sunny disposition toward anyone who Inuyasha associates with.
>>
>>36473093
Yeah, asking of the smith is okay makes sense.

The four of you march through the pith black woods silently save for a broken branch or shifting soil amid the sounds of insects and other night life.

While it’s the longest you’ve ever heard Inuyasha keep his mouth shut, you honestly can’t stand the quiet any more. Your hearts pounding with either fear or maybe anticipation and you desperately need to get your mid off things.

“So, you’re a demon slayer right?”

She doesn’t answer.

“So what are you doing working for one?”

Still no answer.

You pause, maybe you were too forward?”

“So, do you have a name?”

Just as you’re about to open your mouth again to press the issue, she finally speaks “… I am Sango of the Yōkai taijiya Village. You’re awfully talkative for a prisoner.”

“Sango huh? Pretty name.” Kujo responds, quickly followed by Inuyasha scoffing.

“So Sango” you continue, “Do you know this Koga guy murdered a whole village of people? Why would a demon slayer like you even want to help him? Shouldn’t you, you know, take off his head or something?” You swish your hands back and forth “You can’t see it, but I’m doing a chopping motion.” Gotta keep yourself checked out to keep from panicking, just keep it g-

“I know what he has done.” She replies, her voice somber and distant.

I'll second this: >>36474063

If she doesn't respond, we can try to loosen her up with some other small talk, or sharing a bit about ourselves.
>>
>>36473958
>Press further (ask what next?)
Why not bring up the similarities that we (Kagome) share with Sango. Try to gain her trust that way.

>>36474017
Thankfully I had some idea earlier this year for some of the family.

And it's an online Super Robot RPG. Really got my ass handed to me by the guy who isn't supposed to be combat proficient...
>>
>>36473958
>Press further (ask what next?)
"If you know what he's done, why are you helping him hunt us? I mean, I killed a couple of samurai that were helping a demon harvest people, and I don't think Inuyasha's killed anyone in like 50 years? Kujo, I don't think I've even seen pull a weapon."
>>
>>36473958
>>36474161
If by similarities you mean expressing that we've somehow ended up working with Demons I'm right there with you.

>>36474127
Not a fan. AOE killing and possibly future people. Kagome hasn't made peace with anything in that realm at all.
>>
>>36474161
>Why not bring up the similarities that we (Kagome) share with Sango.

Yo. What similarities do we have with her? Did she get thrusted in to a life of horror and violence and has had to do pretty nasty ass stuff to make it?
>>
>>36474189
Drop the killed a couple samurai and that inuyasha has killed anyone and we're golden.
>>
>>36474161
>>36474214

They're both girls who have or had lives outside of demon-slaying. 2-3 weeks ago, Kagome was worrying about friends and boys and schoolwork and cliques. Probably a lot of bitchy girls in high school who gossip about you and stuff like that. Personally, I think Kagome would prefer the demons over the bitchy girls. At least they're up-front about why they want to kill you, but bitchy girls will just wear you down and annoy you over 6 years.
>>
>>36474267
I agree but if we're trying to talk about similarities in the, "You are female. I am also female." I'm not buying it.

Songo hasn't actually had a life outside of demon slaying that's what literally everyone in her village does.
>>
>>36474286

But it's not like 24/7 Batman-style training montage or where they're tossed into a pit of wolves/snakes/bears at birth and then the survivors train every waking moment. They have families and time off and all that. At least that's the impression I got from the show and the manga.
>>
>>36474286
But she has had a semblance of a normal life, despite the village's normal employment. True, we don't know about her kid brother (but that's what conversation is for). Back home, we had a pet cat. Cats are nice to talk about. We can drop a mention about how Inuyasha isn't all that bad...
>>
>>36474324
>But it's not like 24/7 Batman-style training montage or where they're tossed into a pit of wolves/snakes/bears at birth and then the survivors train every waking moment.

Yep. And, uh, yeah, that.

>>
>Ok, it sounds like people are trying to move the conversation into an area were family is discussed (and drop information that you OC know the two share). Sound right?
>>
>>36474529
I don't think we should drop anything unless Sango mentions it first. That shit just aint right.

I'm against dropping stuff we know we share OOC. if it comes up though, start trying to make a connection. try and bring the others into the conversation as well, especially if family comes up

You scowl and pick up your pace a little, dragging Inuyasha behind you. “So why are you doing this then if you think he’s such a bad guy?”

“I never said anything of the sort; but I have my reasons for doing this.” Even though she’s clearly forcing her words, there’s conviction behind them.

“Ok ok, fine, it’s just strange that a demon slayer would be taking orders from a demon, it seems-“

“Backwards.” Kujo adds, fiddling with the bindings on his hands.

“It’s not as strange as you may think. My family and the village I’m from are all demon slayers, but to say every demon is evil would be foolish. We often keep demons as pets or companions.”

“That makes sense; you’d have to be an idiot to eliminate your only source of income. So you take a few jobs here and there, kill off some demons for money and face, let the rest breed to make m-“ The hunter stops in her tracks before turning around and backhanding Kujo off of his feet “Life is a precious thing “Naraku”, you would do well to remember that before you further devalue yours.”

“Sat yer ass RIGHT down!”


>1/3
>>
>>36475856
The merchant gets up, rubbing his chin “Funny how you have the gall to talk about the value of a life when your buddy Koga slaughtered my son and his village.”

The assassin goes quiet once more “I’m sorry for your loss, but I have my mission to uphold.”

“And what kind of duty is it ta serve someone like that?"

"There is ONLY the mission, demon."

"I’ve heard enough of this crap. Woah is you, you got honor er something ya need ta worry about or whatever. Tell me, what would YOU do if someone killed YOUR whole family? Ya seem so proud-a it.”

“… I would stop at nothing to slay those responsible…”

“And yet here ya are marching that guy through the woods right to that killer.” The half demon continues “Seems pretty hypocritical if ya ask me. And another thing, ya jus go off and kidnap some random girl because he tells ya too? That an’t demon hunting at all! Man ya must be in a tight spot fer money and another thing-“

“AND he only wants to talk to him!” you quickly add, elbowing Inuyasha “To see why he’s so interested in me.” That boys mouth is going to get you all killed one day. “So, you mentioned you have a family?”

“Yes, a brother and my father.” She turns around again and yanks the rope again, cutting into your wrist and causing you to hiss from the sudden burn.

Tracking through the woods in silence once more, you find yourselves at a small and highly isolated shack. No doubt the former house of a mad or eccentric hermit. The walls, from what you can make out are dry, rotted, or covered with moss. There’s no way this thing would pass any sort of building code. You close your eyes and squint, prettying to a god you’re sure hates you.

“We’ll have to make camp here for the night; it’s too dangerous to navigate the rest of the mountain in these conditions.”

Your heart sinks; another cold night in the gutter. “Ugh, just kill me now” you whisper as the four of you slide aside the doors of the broken home. This is going to be a hell of a night.

INTERLUDE INBOUND!

Damn is it cold. If there’s one thing you hate more than anything it’s sudden temperature changes and cold weather had to be the absolute worst. You can’t stand how old it makes you feel as you feel your bones grinding together step after step.

You raise your hands and blow into them. It feels better for a moment, but the residual moisture it’ll leave on your hands will only make things worse.

One of your compatriots stumbles over a log, face planting herself into a tree. You breath deep and exhale, reaching into your outfit to retrieve a small metal case from which you pluck a single cigarette before tapping it again to produce a match.

The newer generations are always about instant gratification or making things needlessly complex for a single task. Few of them would ever guess that life is to be enjoyed and taken slow. They’ll never understand the joy of a freshly rolled cigarette or that you lose the flavor with a lighter. You pause for but a brief moment more; a tick you have from a long gone era. Terrible thing snipers.

“Oye it me royt in th’ head.” Your female cohort whispers, rubbing her face. “Es so bloody dak.”

You exhale a large plume of smoke and keep moving. You may as well; you’ve barely stopped since you’ve started this insane adventure. A part of you wants to turn and help the poor girl, and gentlemen though you may be, her constant bumbling is starting to wear thin.

You spare a glance over to another of your partners, the green and red glow from the monitor illuminating his plane features in the dead of night.

You scowl and pluck the cigarette from your mouth and grind It in your fingers, giving a flicking motion with your spare hand, causing the woman to silently sprint away.

A slow and dull tone bleets out from the machine as he lowers the device and points to a small shack.

See now the question is.. if they're in the future tracking it down.. Or if they're in the past.

Maybe in the future since it's not set in stone the damn thing is floating around and appearing wherever we rest for a length of time.

It'd suck to get pulled into the present that way.

If they're actually outside.. Some feudal people are about to get a crash course in firearms.

Unless they're taking the timeline, "DONT BRING GUNS" route.

Is Yura actually following or.. is she off scalping villages?

Did we net any affection from her with the genuine 20 hug?

Will we ever get anyone else's character sheet?

How Bleachy is Kujo?

Thanks for writing you're right she's in for a hell of a night
>>
>>36476944
Not that guy.. but I take confuse her for the, "Someone cares? Fuck is this?"

So eventually she may warm up to us.

Is Kagome directly pulling on the power of the jewel?
>>
So Kujo may be the big bad and we're stuck with him and feudal version of The Boss while a yandre demoness may be stalking s and looking for an excuse to murder us all as a paramilitary group is probably just outside ready to rock our shit.
oh and koga probably also knows where we are.
all points converge.

Yura had a sad streak to her in cannon if I remember correctly maybe I'm imagining it.

FInd the answer but haven't looked into it. Well... need to do that.

Not sure if we'll be able to determine what our energy and what it's is.. maybe we need to find a priest.. or maybe a Monk.

Anyway I gatta crash man. Thanks for running looking forward to next time.

Did we ever get that axe back? How mentally stable would you rate Kagome? Say a 1-10 with 1 being Batshit 10 being sane.

>>
>>36477667
Well in our defense we've been busy...

I mean if I can vote for it I'd say Kagome's nightly dreams are attempts to "Talk things out."
>>
I think he wants us to meditate and go back to that bone world we did a long while ago?
Can we do that while walking?
>>
>>36477725
He's not saying people.. he's saying the jewel.. thing person. I think...

That or we should use the Jewel more often. I assumed we where drawing on it.. regularly but perhaps we havent been "Listening" to it.

When you say people around us.. my mind goes to Mutt, Yura, Kujo.

>>36477786
We'll have to start doing that regularly. Need dat power to accomplish any damn thing.

>>36477817
>>36477786
Now that you mention it, we haven't gotten any stat points or abilities since the knight... the last time we used our powers.
>>
>>36477786
Well we have been busy. I was going to mention it the next time we had a spare moment. Although, we are bunkering down for the night, so it could be worth a shot.
>>
>>36477832
So it's settled. Nighttime is boneyard meditation time. We'll also have to learn to draw on the jewel for power on a regular basis.

Well ya; who ever reads archives or remembers non-quest stuff? Hell some people even have trouble with that.

Also Final Act on very very soon.
>>
>>36478896
It's 2 am here. I think it's already been on. I'll just stream it on kissanime.

I remember all the murder hoboing but when we get the chance everyone suddenly develops a conscience. I can assure you.. I do not have that problem.
>>
>>36478917
The hardest thing people have doing is keeping her in character. Also final act airs at 2am
>>
>>36478957
>keeping her in character

I'll be honest man. We're the character. We're making the choices. Any time I hear that I worry people are clinging to cannon.. which isn't exactly a good source for personality anymore.
>>
>>36478996
It's mostly people wanting to jump right into murder hobo which is not in character at all. She's still there and isn't so far gone yet. She hasn't decayed far enough yet.
>>
>>36479163
>She hasn't decayed far enough yet

If people are voting for it. Yes she has.

It's bullshit reasoning.

She for the entirety of this quest has been controlled by voters. If the voters start voting for murder.. then she's gotten to that point.

As you see the shift in votes you see the shift in her. Simple as that.
>>
>>36479255
You can all vote for Miroku to go hard gay; that doesn't make it in character. Just like when people wanted Kagome to fuck her mom. It's up to the quest master to decide what's appropriate and how to channel those commands if at all. It's quest running 101.
>>
>>36479350
If the votes decide to kill people. The votes should take it.

Miroku's sexuality isnt up to us he's an NPC.

Kagome wanting to fuck a parent is totally out of left field and falls into the bounds of not quest related.

Killing people doesn't.
>>
>>36479421
Lets try a different approach. Say the main character is shy and awkward and not good at talking. Someone writes a lengthy Captain America or Superman worthy write in and everyone loves and votes for it. To remain in character the speech may still be said, but maybe it comes out stuttered or broken since it would make no sense for him to just suddenly be able to give amazing speeches.
>>
>>36479468
The action would still occur. Because the players voted for it.
>>
>>36479504
And I disagree. You can't just completely ignore a characters preestablished MO out of the blue. It makes no sense in the context of the character or story, however gradually working the character up to that point is fine.
>>
>>36479550
In your own example the action occurred. The speech came out poorly and distorted.. but it was given.

If we vote to kill someone Kagome may have serious issues with it and a hard time doing it. But she'll still attempt it.

At this point the difficulty in achieving the action would be more mental than anything else.. and then it really depends on the target.
>>
>>36479582
Then we are in agreement.
>>
>>36479611
I'm not entirely sure.

One moment when I say the action would occur you say No.

The next you say yes.

You guys can stop arguing; Snow says as much in the rules that he'll disregard popular votes or suggestions if they don't fit which at least one of you takes issue with.
This is absolutely needed as seen in earlier threads where you get people trolling and stuffing the vote box.
>>
>>36479626
Not that anon, but not exactly. In the example given, the action would be attempted - or, the decision to attempt the action would be made.
That is not equal to the action actually taking place. There is a distinction to be made.

Ok so bad things:
>Future is fucked up
>We have been captured
>The person who captured us is Reforged Sango
>The jewel is in us and is active
>Sesshomeru is peobably hyper pissed at us about his hair and Inuyasha
>Kujo may be Naraku
>Alternatively some other important leader guy may be Naraku
>Or they both might
>The future is at our doorstop ready to fuck us
>Somewhere in some time "The Coven" is a thing and they are probably total dicks

I miss anything?
>>
>>36480100
Few more bad things. I think this is all accurate;
>We were kicked out of the village with the bone-eater's well. We're not welcome there, which'll make getting home even more difficult.
>We recruited the psychotic hair demon. That's not so bad, she's fun, but she remains crazy and is currently free and unsupervised somewhere in the vicinity.
>We're have rot/corruption powers that may or may not be gradually turning us into a lich.
>We have something like a zanpakuto living in our soul that may or may not be connected to the jewel.
>Lichyness and zanpakuto-yness don't seem to get along very well.
>We've rot-murdered a few people. I don't think we remember doing it. Yura was gushing over our carnage, seems to want us to remember.
>Sango's taking us to Koga. Because he asked her to? Not sure why she's going along with it. He wants us dead because we rot-murdered his wolves.
>Inuyasha is a jerk with no tact and no patience. That's canon, but it bears mentioning. He's actually better than early canon Inuyasha at this point. So we haven't made EVERYTHING worse. Progress!
>Shippo isn't dead yet. Also canon, but for a while we thought we'd managed it.
>>
>>36476451
Maybe.. maybe it's just fox spirits playing a prank right? Right?!
I want to get off this ride

Also crazy theory time; what if in the original canon or this one, whichever, Yura was an incarnation of Naraku that he made to keep watch over Kikyos village while he fucked around for the 50 years doing whatever?

>>36480100
>>36480512
a few of those things are the same thing. Don't know if I agree on the Inuyasha bit. We've barely had any interaction with him at all so we can't make that call. If anything he's still around the canon teasing accusation part. As for us and the wolves, I don't think we rot murdered them, I think we just cut them up. I don't remember anything about rot, but I'll go re-read.
