Jumping straight into the Introduction Phrase:Inugami Enenra posted:For most people, finding someone like Inugami Enenra would be an impossible task. The old stray wandered where he willed for the most part. Even if you could manage to be in the same place as he, given that the yokia could take on many forms, it was no easy feat to recognize him. Still, for the Blood of Oni, there were ways, provided that you were studied and patient. Tora Himura posted:The familiar crack of a wooden bat finding its mark on a good pitch filled the air. In a streak of white, the ball flew right back at the pitcher like a bullet, leveled at head height. The pitcher’s reflexes were good, but apparently her lacked nerve as he crouched into a small ball on the pitcher’s mound and covered his head. A chorus of mocking shouts came from the sideline as the ball hit the dirt on the way to second base, bouncing into the outstretched mitt of one of the girls, who quickly stepped off the plate and hurled the ball towards first base. It flew a bit high, the baseman having to reach up to snatch it, and before he could bring the ball down the batter slid into first with a cocky smirk on his face, laying in the dirt for a second and propping his chin up as he waved to someone on the sidelines. The ball sailed over to third, hoping to at least chase the other runner back to second if they couldn’t tag him out. Yamamoto Sachiko posted:It’s been a particularly rough days for deliveries. You can feel it in the air, a tension, like something is coming to Shibuya but you can’t quite piece together what. Whatever it is, you’re not the only one who can feel it. You had two near misses on the road from drivers who were clearly distracted, and the tips have been coming up light no matter how well you performed. It was the kind of day where it was difficult to keep your spirits up, for certain. As if to top things off, just as you were about to turn in your uniform and punch out for the night, another large order came in and the man on the other end of the phone had requested you to deliver it by name, promising a big tip. Sasaki Naomi posted:The atmosphere of the Super-Drive was much the same as it ever was. Clean, well-lit, and most tellingly busy. The sound of power tools echoed off the inside of the garage at all hours, punctuated by pneumatic hisses. Some of the guys might have given you some trouble when you’d first signed on, but there was no denying talent. The Legend of the Auto-Wizard was spreading, slowly but surely, one wrench turn at a time. Sora Takeda posted:Your work always seems to take you to the worst examples of the Prefect, doesn’t it? The old tenement has been a monument to urban decay since you set your polished shoes in the lobby. The front desk was divided from the lobby by a set of bars, the tired attendant speaking with the officers through a slab of ballistic glass with a grill set in it to carry sound. Once the lean-faced man confirmed why you were there, he dropped the spare key to room 212 into the tray and slid it out from his isolated desk as if by rote, waving off any pleasantries. Fujibayashi Hanako posted:Somewhere deep within Kuroba Industries, an explosion rang out. This was no particular cause for alarm, it had been controlled, shrapnel hitting heavy anti-ballistic panes and bouncing off. All around the test chamber, men and women in white coats made notes, the arm of a mannequin having been left a charred black stump at the elbow as burning chunks of wood smoldered on the yellow and black striped floor.

Inugami Enenra’s Introduction posted:“Old?” the anachronistic man asks, pushing the small dark glasses up his nose with a wry grin. He chuckles to himself, a deep, level sound that goes on a bit too long for such a simple jab. Tora Himura’s Introduction posted:“Ah, I’m sorry m’am. I’ll be sure to work on it.” The student said, his eyes widening slightly. Apparently he thought he’d been doing a good job. The odds were good that he’d been spending too much time training with his elders back at the village these days. The relaxed relationship that most students had with their instructors in this modern world simply wasn’t tolerated within the clan, after all. Duty, after all, was hammered into every Kurama Shin … even if some forgot during the course of their duties. Yamamoto Sachiko’s Introduction posted:“See!?” the big man said, reaching out an arm to flash a thumbs up at the business woman, “I Tell You! Work Better If Big Scary Man Not Hiding In Back!” he’s switched over to Japanese properly, though he’s still booming his words far too loudly for the quiet dignity of his surroundings. Inside you can see a heavy leather duster and a Stetson hat hanging from the hooks in the wall alongside the woman’s business jacket. The big man happily takes the bag of food off your hands and retreats back to the kitchenette, opening the bag and spreading the contents across the counter with round, happy eyes at the prospect of putting down each item in front of him. Sasaki Naomi’s Introduction posted:“I aim to please.” Seiji said with a bit of a lopsided smile, watching you eagerly bite into the confection with a satisfied air about him. A bit reluctantly, he set the box down on its usual place at the corner of the desk, near the coffee pot. Taking a bit of wax paper, he saves another of your favorite before the hungry marauders of the pit crew start reaching their oil-stained hands for the box like a group of sugar-hungry zombies. Sora Takeda’s Introduction posted:The slender older man waited a moment as the two uniformed officers pulled away from the front door, his easy half-lidded smile seeming to take some satisfaction from seeing the officers bossed around a bit. Still, once they were safely out of ear shot, he took a moment to look around the room, scooping up an incidental looking porcelain cat statue and regarding it closely before tucking it in his pocket. Fujibayashi Hanako’s Introduction posted:The low hum of the elevator’s motor filled the small box as the two of them ascended away from the isolated reaches of the lab. The stainless steel walls of the box held murky reflections of the two figures as they rode along, the digital display above the door climbing up through the reinforced basement levels. Finally, the man in the suit shifted his weight slightly.

Tora Himura’s Introduction posted:"The information on the opposition is still inconclusive, they've been avoiding direct confrontation. Whoever they are, their tool use skills are very advanced, but the tools themselves are very old." he says, still a bit rigidly, "The current theory is that they're either rogue nin...or agents trying to pass themselves off as such." Sasaki Naomi’s Introduction posted:"That's a little above my head." Seiji said with a bit of a chuckle, shrugging his shoulders with a helpless smile, "As far as I can tell, the Clan intends to study the blade in another Prefect. You know, distance ourselves from the disappearance of a covetted artifact whose existance is known to the public. We're also harrassing some teams deployed from other cities, trying to keep the heat off so you can move more easily." Sora Takeda’s Introduction posted:Kirigakure nodded, his slender smile still stretching across his face. Fujibayashi Hanako’s Introduction posted:The one-eyed man looked down at Fujibayashi, nodding slightly. End Introduction Phase Commencing Main Phase! Master Scene posted:Pre-dawn, a starless, black night on a quiet summer night. Underneath the grand Meiji shrine, in a rocky and dark cavern protected by locks and alarms both physical and mystical, lies Kamikiri, the God of Mist, in its protective sheath. It rests on a small protective altar of smooth stone, surrounded by six lit candles. It's a bit dirty, as the restoration is only half-complete, but the cool majesty emanating from the dagger is unmistakable. This is a weapon that will change the very destiny of Japan. Sora Takeda Takes Possession of the Prize – Kamikiri Arashi, please declare whether you intend to have a Drama Scene or Combat Scene and invite any characters to it you wish. They do have the right to refuse, of course. Yami, you declare after Arashi. Next up will be Tricky, assuming they're not already in a scene and the person they want to target is still available. If not, they may pass and we'll move on down the list. The intention is to try and get everyone in a scene so everyone is playing, though the scenes are happening simultaneously. Anyone who wishes to use a ninpo to interfere or insert themselves into someone else’s scene is, of course, permitted to do so.
