Do you have any ideas?" > "I started think about ravens and such since I saw so many animals, I thought you might have birds here as well, and both Crows and Ravens are misunderstood by some people. Is Okuu really her name, or is it a nick-name, because I have never heard of a name such as that." --- End quote --- > "Unfortunately, that is not my area of expertise. Youkai such as myself don't have issues taping into our magic, did she give you the names of other humans to talk to? She came down with a witch that one time, and I think there's another one at the top of the mountain. Names escape me right now though." > "I see. Okuu is what I call her, so it's just as well her real name. Doubtful that you've heard of a name like that or her real name to be honest; humans tend to have drastically different naming styles from youkai. I wouldn't say she's misunderstood, but she has had issues with humans in the past." --- Quote from: That Guy on March 05, 2010, 02:55:56 PM --->Think about pie. >Think about technology. >Ask Satori how mind reading works. Is it controllable? Is there an off switch? >Or just think that stuff in her general direction. --- End quote --- > You decide to mess around with Satori. > "Have you ever had the kitsune shikigami's blackberry pie? Oh, it's absolutely divine!" > "As you can surely see, we are not terribly advanced down here. That distillery probably had the most advanced technology around here." > "As you've noticed, the eye here can see you, and when it does it can read you. It's quite simple really, and that information is relayed back to me. The specifics of how aren't important, without a Third Eye you wouldn't be able to achieve it." > The eye shifts again, seeming to rise up her shirt. --- Quote from: Xijiy on March 05, 2010, 01:39:50 PM --->"Thanks for that little talk about the knife that I've been far too concerned about. I don't know why I got so worried over it, you're right a human without spellcards needs some way to defend himself. Sometimes you get a strange though or two in your head and it takes forever to get rid of it." >Take another bite of the scone. We must be pretty hungry after that day we've had so far plus it's best not to be rude after receiving such kindness. >"I must say I'm rather shocked at how nice and inviting everyone is here in the underground. I mean there are rumors about this place and while not all of them are bad no one has mentioned how inviting the people down here are. I don't believe the village treats people the same way." >Look around the satori's home and take in all the sights. See if there are any pets around your feet that you could pet a little bit. Pets are always a treat to pet after all. --- End quote --- --- Quote from: Robespurvis on March 05, 2010, 07:49:11 PM --->Ill feelings don't just go away this easily.

At least until I can get the thing replaced." --- End quote --- > "Well, let's presume that you're on a delivery, similar to now. What would you do if I swiped your canteen and used it to bludgeon an oni to death before washing it off and returning it to you. Assuming it wasn't dented, wouldn't it be the same canteen? If you didn't know I had swiped it, how would you feel about it? What if you kept using it for years before finding out that it had been an implement for murder? This is just a hypothetical, but I hope you see my point. Why worry about the values you assign to it? In the end, it's just a tool." > "They may be easy for me to say, but why is it difficult for you? I've witnessed some particularly violent oni rows in the past, so I know what violence out of malice looks like, especially compared to violence out of defense. Since we're applying theoretical values, isn't violence as defense more righteous than out of malice? Why can't you differentiate between the two?" > "No, you shouldn't be defenseless, but spell cards are not a be-all and catch-all of defense. Gensokyo is still a dangerous place, especially for a human. Even if you replaced it, would you hesitate to use a knife for defense? You'd wind up in the same situation, is it practical to get a new knife every time one draws blood?" > You eat some more of the scone while you digest her words. A black cat with two tails and a red color leaps up next to Satori and lies down. Satori pets her absentmindedly. > "It's not often I get visitors, and I try to make all feel welcome here. The oni love to make friends, but they also love a good fight, so don't become too comfortable. New people show up rarely, so it's no surprise that you were welcomed." > Aside from that black cat, there don't seem to be any other pets near you right now. You suspect that most of them are outside. The room you are in is quite barren. The walls are decorated solely with mirrors, and there is only a couch across from the two chairs you and Satori occupy. >_ |

| Hello Purvis:
>"The point is that I do know. I can't ignore what I do know. As for the rest, I just got to assume that people are smart enough not to go committing atrocities with tools. I don't want anything to do with that sort of thing. Defense or otherwise, killing people isn't right, even if they do get better afterwards. and just looking at the thing makes me sick now. Call it superstitious and silly if you want, but it's still how I feel. and you're talking about a new knife every time? There's a difference there. I wouldn't go after someone to kill them. If it happened by accident...well, yeah. I'd want not to have it around anymore. But I'd have bigger worries than that, you know? But if you're not worried about what it was used for, I'll trade you." |
