BUNNAYA

*** Through breeze and the thunderous rain of the oyashi lands, an old figure lurked around. Each step sounding like a puddle splash it was clear that they we're headed towards the Monastery. Standing below a Torii gate was none other than Nezukai Nozomi. Beginning her ascent, her getas clanked against the stairs which lead to the Pagoda, eventually reaching the Shrine where she placed her footwear aside and dove within. Leaving a light chuckle. A lone tear ran down her eye. "Ha.. So this is how it ends?" A smile followed in her visage as she kneeled to the ground infront of one of the shrines. "Bakaasan..." A moment of silence followed as the old lady pondered. "You are and always will be my okaasan. Wherever you're headed I wish you the best. Deep in my heart, I know you meant no harm and only good." Succeeded by these words, Nozomi stood back up, bowing twice then clapping twice. Going through the exit, her sandals returned to her feets. She walked out but paused glancing up to the moon as tears bursted down her cold cheeks. "Saraba, Yano-sama." ***

This is a serious concern I have been having for a while as well now. I really REALLY love shamanism but... we're kind of locked behind using either the same Old blah emotes every times from a document or the emote will take three business days to be made for something unique. Its just really disappointing. For us Koyo Kuni shrine maidens talking in Kakuriyo Tsunagari (Japanese) would be the best thing we could have.

In a silent walk, Nozomi made her way to the Pagoda, each steps heavier than the previous one. Paper in hand, the lady deposited a note on the ground beside the memorial of the one she previously knew as her Mitsue. With a silent tear and a smile, the ex-miko bowed twice and clapped twice in a quiet prayer to the Kami. "We'll meet again, Shibuya. . ."

Somewhere in Koyokuni, a priestess whispers can be heard... “Every flame must someday flicker and die, leaving only the warmth of its memory in the darkness that follows.” "Sayonara, Yu-sama, may you return as a Kami."

"You're apologised Shibuya-sama..." spoke Nozomi with a smile upon her face as an old memory emerged in her head.

"When waking a tiger, use a long stick" -Quote from the Little Pink book.

As the miko awoke in the flower capital, her stomach protested with low, bitter growls. She stepped beyond the monastery walls, the sweet, sweet taste of Honma Taco still lingering in her thoughts. But reality struck like lightning. She dropped to her knees in disbelief. Tears welled in her eyes, trailing down her cheeks as she took in the cruel, empty space where the Grub-Bucket once stood. Her voice trembled, barely above a whisper. "Is this truly fate..?"

Suddenly, the miko saw a bright flash—perhaps a memory of a past vision, an alternate timeline. In an instant, her face was met with a splash of the hot boiling oil used during the making of the Kami Katsu. The shrine maiden's screams of agony soon echoed through the Flower Capital...

Nozomi mourns over the loss of two dear oyashi who gave their soul to the Kami Katsu. "Was it worth it..? " Is all she'd keep asking herself in tears.

Nozomi rises slowly from the ground channeling all her anger through her fists. "These gaijins made our Shugo cry... ASHIGARU! WE MUST SAVE MIKU" - "SUSUME!!"

Nozomi jumps in excitement at the invitation hoping for the best for her dear friends.

Which one are we smoking first?

Upon returning to the mortal planes, Nozomi sat her gaze upon her friend Ahng and wondered where their Tuna fish went... "Ahng-san... our leftovers..." she'd mutter of a low voice

My character felt many regrets losing their parents when they were young. Many downs through life making them feel life was useless. That was until one day when someone reached out to her, igniting the flame within her heart. If my character Himari Nozomi has a theme song, it has to be Chakka from Syudou.

IORI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE!!!!!

The Writ of Vengeance Somewhere in a house inside of Koyo-Kuni, two shrine maidens would be sitting on the floor hands in between each other, one of them speaking in Old Blah. It wouldn’t be long for the both of them to fall on the ground and lose consciousness, their souls brought upon the spirit planes. Nozomi would slowly regain consciousness, her sight glancing around, noticing a familiar realm. Not long before anyone could move any further, a being revealed themselves ahead of the girl. Black hair… black cloak… snake-like body… eyes that glowed a golden light through the dark. It was Shezept, the Kami of Revenge. “I have stained my blade with the blood of a yokai… just like you tasked me to. I have returned to complete our pact. You haven’t forgotten, have you?” “Oh! Our pact… ah yes! In return for seeking vengeance upon your parents, I would offer you a fraction of my power. And I sense that youuuuuuu… Are here to collect.” “I indeed, am here to collect.” “Well then, child of man… let me think… Oh! I see you’ve already erected a shrine in my honor… good. Upkeep it until you grow old and frail, unless you wish to spend eternity hiding from me instead? Ahh… yes you will too seek vengeance for your kin… forever.” “What do you intend by I will seek vengeance for my kin… forever..?” “The entirety of your life you will seek to avenge your parents, You will always search for the one that took their lives but you may never find them. So much injustice in this world, no?” The girl remained quiet for a moment. The yokai that took the life of her parents was dead… or at least, that’s what she had been told… The woman was lost, she hadn’t thought of the possibility of someone lying to her. The thought of it would make anger bubble through her. “I was told the yokai who killed my parents had been dealt with… Would they have lied to me!?” “That’s the thing, Himari Nozomi. The yokai may have died that day, it may not have. After all, you weren’t there to witness its death mhmm. Your ‘yokai’ is simply one amongst dozens of them. It must be sooo easy to confuse one for another!” Nozomi would fall down to her knees, her body had given up on her. Her breathing would become increasingly louder, her heart beats skyrocketing as well. Anger would grow within the girl. Everytimes Shezept spoke her state would worsen, similar to knife stabbing her heart repeatedly. Ignorance would have got the best of her. The Great Kami of Vengeance was delighted by the dramatic situation that was unveiled before her. “Ah, collapsing in front of me? Now tell me, why would I want to take a petty little human soul like yours, hm? Go on miko, tell me why you want my blessings…” A brink of hope would still be shining within her. She hadn’t completely lost it yet. With a weak voice that could barely be heard, Nozomi would speak. “I need your power so I can make this world a better place and perhaps one day, unknowingly take vengeance upon my parents…” “You catch on quite fast, I enjoy that about you.” The snake woman would smile and offer her hand to the young shrine maiden. Her eyes would focus upon the eyes of her visitor. The time had come. “Well then, Himari Nozomi… Do you promise to upkeep my shrine? Do you, Himari Nozomi, promise to confess your violent thoughts to me at the end of each day? Do you, Himari Nozomi, promise to spend your entire life seeking to give retribution to the one that killed your mother and father? And finally; do you, Himari Nozomi, wish to spend eternity with me in this dark, dark realm of mine?” A bright golden flame sprung forth from the hand of the one previously known as Kurayami. Nozomi took a grasp of her hand, a hand that felt rather… comforting to her. The miko then closed her eyes and began to speak, words that would conclude a pact between the two. “I, Himari Nozomi, promise I will upkeep the Shrine built at your effigy. None of my violents thoughts shall be a secret to you as my villainous thoughts are yours. My entire decisions within life shall fluctuate to benefit the vengeance my parents deserve. In conclusion, I, Himari Nozomi, wish to bind my soul to the Kami known as Shezept, spending my very eternity along their side within this dark realm of theirs.” The burn would not be hurtful… instead, it seemed to seal the bond between a Kami and a human. Their deal was complete and now, Nozomi was the agent of Shezept and her mischievous ways… Soon, Nozomi would begin to lose consciousness, only the echoing words of the Kami rang out in the shrine maiden’s ears. “Serve me well, Himari Nozomi… Serve me well, Miko…“
