>"Well," says Satori, "The place that she and Parsee goes to is rather secret. I expect, if you didn't know where to look for it, you wouldn't find it. And lately, they've been spending a lot of time around there finishing up a project of theirs with Nitori. It wouldn't surprise me if she's been there the whole time."

>Satori smiles. "Parsee's a very suspicious person, and very devoted. She hates leaving her home unattended for too long. So no, not always. Or she has a way of coming back first, at least."

Why are we at Satori again?

GuyYouMetOnline · « **Reply #874 on:** July 30, 2011, 04:12:28 AM »

Update on Utsuho, and to let her know what we'd learned. Also, I wanted to see if she could sense anything from the sword.

Guy get in here and do your thing or I'm going to move us after fireworks

Well, I have to go to work (yes, I work on weekends), but I'll start it off,, at least.

>She nods and takes the pieces in hand.
>She frowns at it, and turns the pieces over in her hands. Then she fits them together. "I...feel something from it. It is like hearing a distant voice, but not understanding what it is trying to say at all. Merely recognizing that it is, indeed, a voice in the distance. That is what its thoughts, as they were, feel like. They are merely there. I am not sure if it is actually thinking."

>You focus on the weapon, willing it to repair itself once more. You feel the odd, indescribable tingle once again. Satori places her hands on the blade, and frowns. At the same time, you feel the weapon's tingle shift, taking on a different feeling that you still can't identify, this one feels deeper in your hand, as if emanating from your bones. Satori pulls her hands away after a couple seconds.
>"You may stop now," she says. "It's not exactly thinking. It's more like following an instinct. Unfortunately, what that instinct may be is closed to me."
