According to my much more educated sister, Sandow is very good at what he does, which is ground and pound work. And yes, Ryback is exactly Goldberg.

>"Komeji-sama would." Chie says seriously.

>"Chie thinks that if it is about the temple, Kiku would know. Isumi and Karura might know. Kiku is second elder but Isumi and Karura are below her."
>She thinks a moment more, then adds, in a quieter voice, "Chie thinks that Eagle might know what Komeji-sama is thinking on."

>Chie thinks about that for a moment. "I don't think that's a very good idea. Karura doesn't like strangers seeing her room unless Karura invites them."

>"Chie doesn't know why Karura is private. I haven't seen her room, either. Young mikos like Chie think Karura's room is very messy."
>Indeed it is.
>"Isumi is in the kitchen now. Byakuren could ask her if you are wondering?" Chie offers.

>The black haired youkai seems satisfied by your defense of Chie, then considers your question.
>She tilts her head to the side ever so slightly, then lowers her gaze a touch. Her deep violet eyes glass over for just a second.
>Or at least you think they do, as you have to stifle a sizable yawn. You're very, very tired. You wonder if maybe you should lie down for a while, or at least sit down.
>"Komeji-sama has much on her mind." Isumi says at last, her voice not quite as vibrant as it was when last you spoke with her. "How she conducts her business is up to her."

Think I should press on? I can definitely keep up the social pretexts for awhile.

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #746 on:** November 25, 2012, 03:41:54 PM »

Not sure. But there's certainly something suspicious about all this. All the ones remotely close to Satori, such as Lily, Kiku, that Big Cat from before(can't remember the species exactly. Wasn't it leopard or something?), and now Isumi. They're all affected by the same barricade. I'm thinking that Satori could possibly be in cahoots with the demons, possibly under the same influence as what Water was trying to put Kiku into.
The next question though is a simpler one; Which Champion is it?

Hello Purvis · « **Reply #747 on:** November 25, 2012, 09:41:19 PM »

Normally, I'd be all for going gung ho on this business. But we're kinda drained already, which makes diving into a third fight a significant issue, especially if they aren't immediately up to something, which gives us some IC wiggle room for doing that stuff tomorrow.

Hanzo K. · « **Reply #748 on:** November 25, 2012, 09:51:04 PM »

Yeah, we already did a lot, so we'll save this for another day. Potentially when we have another ally or two.

Fine.
