Tenzo falls silent for a moment, unsure what to say. "...So... that demon, that's what you turned before? I..."

He's not dangerous. He never asked for this. Neither did I.

Unsure of what else to do, he approaches him and gives a rather awkward but heartfelt hug.

Fuyume stiffens a little. It's clear she's a bit discomforted by the thought of Tarou being consumed like that.

"..."

Nanaka has walked out of earshot, and either didn't hear or didn't show that he heard.

Tarou keeps his eyes to the floor, tensing up just slightly from Tenzo hugging him, which he honestly doesn't expect. He keeps his grip tight on the counter behind him. "...None of you have fled yet. That's surprising..." he says, still waiting on reactions from Nairube, Kotone, Polgara, and possibly more importantly, Sasuke.

Yoshiki smiles brightly, and giggles happily, his cheerfulness seeming completely genuine. "I was glad to help!" he says. "So, what now? Should we go back to the village? I don't think you're in the best shape to continues our searching."

Minami looks up from her work as she hears Yama jump away from the wall. "Are you alright? Do you need some ice?" she asks, and watches as he seems to be looking at Kokoro quite intensely. She takes a cautious step closer to her just because.

Date's House

"...Oh. Nothing of that sort." Date says, removing his fingers and sitting up straight again. "Just someone admiring my apprentices...in a less than innocent fashion. Please, calm yourself child, sit." he continues, gesturing with his hand as he reassures the young man.

Will add the rest in, have to do something for a bit.

Kotone squeaks and hides behind Nairube.

Sasuke's spine stuffens a slight margin and he lowers his head, sighing long and low, "Kotone, don't be rude... Tarou...I can't say this is...unexpected...I'd honestly expected you might have... I just..." He slowly approaches and hugs Tarou as well, though it is a bit stiff and awkward, If I may ask...how many spirits...and did they deserve it?"

Polgara doesn't seem at all perturbed by the news and rests a gentle hand on Tarou's, smiling maternally, "It will be alright, dear one. You're stronger than you know, and your friends are here for you."

"I'm as free as the dust in the solar wind."

"That... That might be for the best." Ren says, trying to get back up but keeping his hand in Yoshiki's unless he removes it first. Wincing with some pain as he gets up. "Lets get back, i'm getting hungry again anyway." A smile on his face despite being in pain.

"... I cant believe you two. Facing such danger and being soo cheerful." Mana replies following the pair. Assuming Yoshiki does indeed head back to town.

Date's House

Rhylu pauses looking at Date, clenching his fists and taking some deep breaths. The magic calming down and fading back to being undetectable and the changes in appearance gone. The young man sitting back down again. "Don't scare me like that...."

"Anyway, I appreciate your offer but I must decline. If I stay here, I will be hunted again, putting you in danger...." Rhylu responds, burdened by his previous actions.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Sonome Village, Blacksmith's Hut

Yama would notice that Kokoro was in her late teens... so at least one thing... she still looked a bit concerned... that is until she fell the gaze lying on her... now Kokoro didn't mind being looked at... also not in such a way considering she did realize she was attractive... but she also realized that this probably had gone on for quite a while which did bother her... she turned her back to him... probably giving him a good bit of a view on her... only to suddenly spin around, now a nearby Naginata in her hands.

She let the weapon in her hands, not really raising it against him... but also probaly conveying her point as the Chōchin Obake started to wiggle around in the air. Kokoro now looked not at all concerned anymore "Or... have you been careless because you admired me a bit too much?" Yama would notice that her arms while being slender showed quite a hint of muscle... quite unsurprising given her profession "It goes against my honor to deliver faulty works so you can still expect your sword to be better than new...but don't expect anything more... and do cease to look at me like such." She gave him a courtesy smile "And... please also extend that courtesy to Minami."

"One may feel fear in the face of danger so long as one banishes fear when danger actually arrives"

Yama immediately stopped looking once he noticed how old the girl was who was standing next to him. He had his pervert's honour, and teens were off limits! Instead, he decided to focus on the older woman, the one who he knew was older by just a year. Pervert's honor said that only girls above the age of 16 were available to him.

And then he realized he had been seen. Curses! He pouted a bit, and did rub his back some, trying indicate he wanted ice. He didn't know sign language or anything, so he really had to use his body language when communicating his intentions.

And then the woman threatened him to knock it off. Oh dear. That wasn't very fair at all. He was bored, and his status as a hidden pervert was now at stake. He had to act!

And by act, he simply continued to stare at her. Now, he had made up his mind. She shall be the one to be seduced! Yes, that would work. So, he decided to make his move.

He rushed forward, quickly moving to try and grab her wrist so she couldn't use the weapon, put his other hand around the back of her neck, pull her close, and plant a big wet one on her lips.

Tenzo lets Tarou go, but stays close to him. "Well... I can't really judge, since I'm pretty similar. Though, I try to commune with other spirits, not consume them..." He turns to Sasuke and Fuyume. "Do either of you know anything that might help with people like us?"

@Vampireandthen: I have a slight problem with the last bit of your post. The way you're phrasing it makes it seem like an autohit.

Kokoro was... actually frozen for a split second from the sheer brazeness of what this person was up to... staring at somebody who was... admittingly attractive was one thing.... forcefully kissing was another thing entirely. While he'd indeed manage to grab her at first that was more than anything else because she was so stunned. Seeing he was about to kiss her on the lips made her duck under the kiss before yanking her arm out of his grip, now actually raising the Naginata. "Ack!" Now it was clear that she was quite pissed - to say the very least. She went back a step, holding the weapon before her to keep him at a distance. The Chōchin Obake started to wildly flail around in the air.

Tarou hesitates even more as Polgara touches him, then Sasuke gives him a hug as well. Again, not the type of physical contact he'd been expecting. He's not really sure how to react. Sasuke's question gives him pause. "...I...I could not really tell you. I...don't remember most of it...when I get to a point where spiritual feeding is necessary, I...am not completely conscious of my actions...I know it has been at least 3 times..." he answers.

He gives a somewhat appreciative nod to Polgara's words and to Tenzo as well, though still cannot bring himself to look at anyone.

Minami is surprised as Kokoro brandishes the naginata, but understands completely. But, she's even more shocked as Yama advances on her, attempting to grab and force himself on her. "That is not acceptable behavior!" she says and moves with a clearly practiced motion and attempts to jab Yama in the chin or throat, and failing either of those, will try to strike him in the back of the neck, hard.

Date's House

Date wears an intense expression, his gaze sharply pointed at the floor. Rhylu might note that the bandages on his fingers seem to be smoldering slightly. "If you're concerned for me, you shouldn't be. I've been contending the gods before you were likely even thought of. I am not worried in the least."

Forest Pond

"Okay!" Yoshiki answers, and does his best to help Ren walk as they head back into town.

Rhylu pauses at what is said... Eventually nodding. "If you're sure, it is your fate if you wish for this being of Calamity to remain... Thank you, though at any time I may need to leave again." The young teen finally breaks giving a small smile. A part of him he hadn't listened to in a long time wanting to have a home, the kid inside that got shunted the side when his personal war began still wanted others around to guide him even after all he has gone through.

He pauses and notices Date's bandages smoldering. "Are you feeling alright?"

Forest onroute to Sonome

Ren certainly tries to not put much weight on Yoshiki, then again Ren wasn't particularly heavy either.

Mana looking over. <Raylen:"Why are you intent on letting him come along?">

<Raylen:"Because he's lost much as well.">

<Raylen:"He is a child, he cannot defend himself. I do not see how he could be of any use, furthermore do you wish for him to get hurt?">

<Raylen:"Mana... Calm down. He cannot do such yet, its true. He can be our guide still, he has traveled a lot after all. For him getting hurt, bandits and war rage. He could get hurt anywhere, atleast I will be around to protect him">

"<Raylen:"Yeah right, you need protecting just as much as he does most of the time.">

The two talking back and fourth in their native tongue. Yet for some reason, much like during the spell. Yoshiki can understand the meaning of every sentence, even if he couldn't pick out individual words. More than enough to follow along. Though the bickering siblings did not realize.

"After time adrift among open stars, along tides of light and through shoals of dust, I will return to where I began."

Yama leapt away from the wild flailing of the weapon from the first woman, but felt a jab in his chin, and stumbled onto the ground, flat on his back. He tried to roll away, and instead rolled right at Kokore, on a collision course that would knock her over. And, unfortunately, cause her to land right on top of poor Yama. This was an eventful day, but what else could be expected from the silent pervert that he was? He had something to do after having been found out, and that was woo the girl who had found him out!

GM HAT ON

Vampireandthen, stop. Autohitting aside, you're being very creepy and predatory.

GM HAT OFF

Sonome Village, Blacksmith's Hut

Kokoro didn't even know how this motion was remotely possible. She quickly stepped aside to not fall over him, now not really shocked anymore... more angry than anything else, this pervert would certainly get what he'd deserve.

As he stopped his motion - wherever that would be - she'd quickly bring the blade of her Naginata down near his neck, blade pointed towards him. "This is enough now, do not try anything on either Minami or me or else this blade will stop you... Are. We. Clear?"

She looked to Minami, the blade still near Yama's neck "Minami? Please get Master Date here... I think he wants to see this."

What auto hit? Where?

Yama stared up, and gave a thin lipped smile. He crossed his heart and winked, a way of saying, cross my dirty heart and hope to die! He knew when he was beat, and he was beat. Plus, trying to be do bold a pervert would have never worked, now that he thought about it. This is why he hated not having a tongue: if he did, he would be the lovable pervert type, who everyone found assuming and charming, but no! Life made him into a creepy one!

@Vampireandthen: The autohit was dictating that Kokoro would fall on top of Yama. Kokoro is not under your control, so you cannot say where she will land. That is Sergey's decision. You can say she might land there, as that still gives Sergey the final say.

Oh.....I actually just quit now. This isn't working. Let's say Yama gets his sword and dies some days later.

...Because I reminded you not to do something clearly written in the rules and is pretty much a universal standard in role-playing.

No, because I seriously need to leave or I could do some serious damage. My emotional state right now is awful and dangerous as this is reminding me way too much of another RP I did.

Fuyume doesn't make eye contact.

"I... okay. You're not one of those people who would hurt others for their own power, so... I guess I can trust you." Tenzo says to Tarou, relaxing a bit.

"What do you mean?" He asks Fuyume.

"I used to be able to make seals." In a lower voice, she continues, "... It's how some of my masks work."

Nairube just continues to listen, but his eyes do darken the slightest bit at the mention oft he Murakumo. He'd had to deal with one or two during the war...not much fun. Still, he pats Kotone on the head lightly to show it will be fine.

Meanwhile, Yamada and Koneko both arrive with Mira, one looking a little more haphazard than the other. The okami twinges a little as he steps through the doorway, but thinks nothing of it, and sits at the bar. Koneko follows suit, looking worriedly at his bandaging.
