Reckless Banzai Screamer

Shugo Kato Oijin receives the corrected missive from Takemura as they breeded their stilt striders. "We're going to be rich, Takemura! Unagi-don every night!" @wowj

"It's time to pay taxes, Shinji...." It was a long time coming recovering their industrial output from Almaris, but Oijin smelled black powder and blood coming.

A military governor laments that the War of the Poppies was not enough having neglected to follow up on routing out the listed do-badders in the Treaty of Sakuragakure, 154 SA because of life and being occupied with the demon-lich Lord Gashadokuro on his border. He smoked his cigarette from his porch as he read the missive from the Church on the porch of the Kato clan estate and long contemplated the consequences of actions and inactions before dropping it on his lap with a few embers falling atop it from his smoke. A massive migraine set in as the old samurai held his head, "They're all involved with Gashadokuro, they're all plotting against me."

Destroy all realms

Filled with a great negative kani, a military governor makes preparations for a total victory against the dark forces of Gashadokuro and revenge against those that aided him to get to this point. :murder:

Shugo Kato read over the report and nodded with approval. ”The dream is coming together…”

Tonito wandered around the Seven Skies for a long while recovering in spirit from another great fracturing of humanity. ”Oi Toni, get a look at this!” A friendly wayward spirit points to a hole in the clouds from where they traversed. Tonito looks down…. ”What es Animii????”

Writ of Banishment - King Aleksandr By Order of Shugo Kato of Sakuragakure Year of the Saruban, 1222 10th of Snow's Maiden, Year 167, 2A Name: King Aleksandr Power Rank: A - He has big Alliance. Description: Never met him I think. Abilities: Uniting coalitions. Synopsis: Upon recent revelations regarding the associations and dealings between King Aleksandr and the Demon Lich Lord Gashadokuro, the village of Sakuragakure banishes King Aleksandr from the Land of Cherry Blossoms (all of the Oyashi claim) within Nor-Velyth. To arm such an enemy of not only us but many across the realm is a personal slight and it is the Oyashimans and citizens of the Ashen State that suffer first hand as a result of these nefarious dealings. You are unwelcomed here. While this ban does not extend upon the people he governs, any agents sent by him or his government will be turned back until an investigation by the Shugo's government or a reliable source is conducted and proves the aforementioned claims otherwise. KATO OIJIN the Black Swordsman, Legendary Sanbushi and Shugo of Sakuragakure

A military governor :doomers: beneath the Cherry Blossom petals and says to his samurai council, "Owari da, burn the rations the Haensers gave us. They might be contaminated." The Sakuragakure food storage was set a blaze then along with any semblance of friendship. 10 more years of famine...

A military governor of a village deep in the cuts of a great shadow war against the dark forces of Gashadokuro threw his bento box across his meeting room in rage for the automaton servant to clean up while the man yelled across his home. ”SHINJIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!”

OYASHI ONLY! Here is how to use the clock. Make a copy of the sheet so you can edit. Then, in the box underneath "Enter Birth Year here. . ." ENTER YOUR BIRTH YEAR! Right side is Eastern Gaijin time, called "First Age" or "Imperial". Left side is Western Gaijin time, called "Second Age" or "Janny Time". The middle time is Kamijikan, "Kami Time." It counts down by month, not year, to a VERY IMPORTANT date. Blessings upon your houses! -Uncle O” Local Saki-Gaki Legend Years ago during the founding of the Hidden Cherry Blossom Village, a flash of lightning struck the ground before the Kato Clan workshop. From it appeared a mysterious grandfather clock. Many of the citizens believed it to be another whacky invention of Shugo Uncle-O or his buddies at the forge. But Uncle-O was just as clueless as the citizens of Sakuragakure and spent years tinkering with and studying the mysterious grandfather clock that manifested into existence. Though one thing eluded the samurai of the village and the greatest of their tinkerers - what happens when the Kamijikan hits zero? The Kamijikan The Kamijikan (or Kami Time) refers to the clock that is counted down monthly (every OOC day) down to zero where it is said that a very important event will take place. It is unknown what is to occur but it has not stopped the villagers of Sakuragakure from taking wild guesses. For many of the Yosei (Oyashi elves), the Kamijikan is a doomsday countdown that will lead to the entire annihilation of the world. The Oni and human Oyashi however possess more optimistic theories where each respectively believes that an ancestral savior (The Onimaru from the Oni and Owinsama for humans respectively) will return to the world to defeat the tyrannical Shogun Yorinobu and make Oyashima a paradise. While highly anticipated, whatever awaits the world and the Oyashi is still a long while away. The Oyashiman Zodiac Every eight years (or 56 Kami Days) the cycle of the Oyashiman Zodiac resets with each year/seven months representing a spiritual animal and one of the four main corresponding elemental signs of fire, earth, air and water aligned with the year of an individual’s birth year said to represent some of the inner facets of one’s personality or inclinations. Kouryuu (High Dragon | Dragaar) = Intelligent, Prideful, Conniving, Long lived, Scholar Archetype, Fire Sign Kaerumon (Frogman | Wonk) = Lucky, Gluttonous, Silly, Family Oriented, Water Sign, Craftsman/Bard Archetype Nyazoku (Cat Man | Kharajyr) = Quick, Silver tongued, Greedy, Dexterous, Air Sign, Archer/Rogue/Diplomat archetype Saruban (Monkey Savage | Hou-Zi) = Strong, Stubborn, Slothful, Emotionally Stable, Monk-archetype Earth Sign Nezumin (Rat Man | Ratiki/Musin) = Untrustworthy, Envious, Clever, survivors, stealthy, thief/rogue archetype, Fire Sign Butajin (Boar Man | Bohra) = Trustworthy, arrogant, magically inclined, unlucky, curious, Wizard archetype, Water Sign Tanuki (Raccoon Dog) = Friendly, naïve, adventurous, flaky, scatterbrained, adventurer archetype, Air Sign Oni (Oyashiman Ork) = Wrothful, warrior archetype, large, boisterous, honorable, Earth sign

Travel Advisory - The Brightwald and The Cursed Forest In effect as of the Year of the Kouryuu, Year 166 SA (1225 Kamijikan) The Hidden Cherry Blossom Village has witnessed an alarming rate of hostilities within the Land of Cherry Blossoms and releases this travel advisory to all of those in the Greater Ashen State of Nor-Velyth and those abroad that may visit the realm. The Kurai Mori (The Dark Forests / The Brightwald) has seen an infestation of a goblin tribe referred to as the Gutterborn that has attacked citizens of the Ashen state traveling north to Urguan and beyond. We advise that all of those traveling in these forests stick to the roads, travel with companions, keep weapons on hand and keep a lantern on them. The goblins are known to use the darkness of the forests to their advantage and possibly tamed forest beasts. Sakuragakure has suffered an attack at the hands of the forces of the Demon-Lich Lord Gashadokuro leaving many wounded and the streets littered with carnage. We advise all of those traveling throughout the Norowareta Mori (The Cursed Forests) and the Sakura Mori (The Cherry Blossom Forests) to keep their weapons on hand (with a reminder that no one except a samurai, knight or Lord may bear a sword within the The Hidden Cherry Blossom Village) and to travel with companions. While attacks are infrequent, we still advise caution. All reports of violence should be sent to Shugo Kato Oijin of Sakuragakure, Honma Monjaro, Mayor of Sakuragakure or the nearest samurai should immediate aid be needed. Sakuragakure will now be in a state of martial law with all powers of the military junta increasing (this will not be extended beyond the Oyashiman claim and the Men of Hazum encampment). We now reserve the right to test all suspected evil doers and do badders by burning at the stake or swimming them by king’s stone block who exhibit the following (but not limited to) traits: Exhibit loyalties or sympathies to Gashadokuro/Shinji. Feed the Gutterborn Goblins. Exhibit/display negative kani (the vibes are off). Rotting. Disobeying the samurai. Carrying foreign poppy flowers. We implore citizens of the Ashen state to not be afraid of the evil doers or the do badders but to violently beat them without mercy and take their rare boomsteel weapons. The enemies of the state fear the samurai. There is great honor and glory to fight and die for one’s state. Glory to the Primarch! KATO OIJIN the Black Swordsman, Shugo of Sakuragakure, Legendary Sanbushi

A military governor shows the missive to the Primarch. "Primarch-sama. Peace in our time." @milksoda

Shugo Kato picks up the pieces of the old Lector, "Oooh, my poor friend, my brother." He frowned deeply beneath his mempo as he knelt before the mechanical man. "My favorite engineer apprentice, the world gets lonelier with each passing year." "Sayonara, chrome-choom!"

"Sorry I didn't leave you nothin' en de will tio - I did not expect ju to out live meh." Tonito smiles awkwardly in the Seven Skies, all these old mfs together at last.

Tonito rolls in his ash urn without the magic investigation being finished.

A military governor out to the west nods approvingly at the mention of reparations. ”Peace in the East, no more closed gates.”

"For the Ashen State..." Shugo Kato knelt upon seeing the honorable sacrifice of the Primarch and reaffirms his vows to protect her. "United we stand, divided we fall!" He prepares contingency plans to shoot the meteor out of the air.

An agent of Shugo Kato delivers the missive to him for the military governor's pursuit to find all missives about the Lectorate of Owyn, secretly waiting for the Church of Gaekrin to rise again. "Burn them all, the world will not besmirch the Tetsugawa war hero DHARASU with these war crimes."

Shugo Kato is happy that the words of the Yasu Tori rang true in the chests of the heartlanders and that peace was on the horizon. "Finally, no more closed gates. . ."
