[Yoko]

"Well, it can't get much worse.. right?" she said, glancing about the group but focusing then on the newest addition to those who were now present, the Fuzake.

[Fuzake Hifumi]

"Hai. Fortunately, it appears your death has been averted." She glanced at Ishi. "But, there still appears to be danger of some sort looming for the Empire."

"I witnessed a horse of wind descend from the heavens. It separated into many and spread throughout the land, bearing a dire message. Each messenger carried a bloodied wreath crown in one hand and a scroll in the other. I do not know what the proclamation was, but I saw the Mon of the Miya. I glimpsed a burning kobune and then the land split and shattered. One half laid behind a man I do not know. The other half, Sutorenja-san, was behind you."

[Sutorenja]

"That explains why Otomo-sama is trying to murder me," she said dryly.

"Sort of."

[Yoko]

"Shit.." her voice was quiet and the word trailed off into obscurity. Standing where she was, arms crossed she looked down as she thought.

[Ikoma Ren]

"Well, it can't get much worse.. right?" she said, glancing about the group but focusing then on the newest addition to those who were now present, the Fuzake.

Ren hisses. "Don't ever say that Tomo-san! Whenever people say that in the stories, things always get worse!"

"That explains why Otomo-sama is trying to murder me," she said dryly.

"Sort of."

"I think I missed something. Does he somehow think that taking your life would prevent that catastrophe? Because it sounds like the very attempt is what brings the doom"

[Fuzake Hifumi]

"My previous vision showed her death, followed by the breaking and burning of a throne. The sun turned red and the sky rained blood. A man in green and gold sat on the throne before many noble dead." the Monkey explained. "I think that would have been worse."

[Yoko]

Yoko took another moment, glancing around at each person but smirking when she looked to Ren. Focusing last on Sutorenja, being the main person in question, "Well.. we have the who, what, and why, eh? Sounds like even after all of this is over, it's just gonna get harder and for longer but.. seems like it's the right thing to me. Just a matter of figuring out how we.." she paused, shook her head. "How to go about doing something about it," she glanced elsewhere a moment.

"We- we might get a few tries at this, it seems, eh? Just.. so do the other guys, eh?"

[Ikoma Ren]

"My previous vision showed her death, followed by the breaking and burning of a throne. The sun turned red and the sky rained blood. A man in green and gold sat on the throne before many noble dead." the Monkey explained. "I think that would have been worse."

" Oh. Well then, yes this is an improvement. I don't know if anyone knows of a Miya in town?"

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

Well this was certainly an oddity, and it was the burning Kobune that alarmed Shouji. "Could you describe the man you do not know at least."

He glanced towards Sutorenja. "It seems to me more of your family may be in danger too, Sutorenja-san."

[Fuzake Hifumi]

She closed her eyes and tried to picture him, wondering if he might be the man who sat on the throne in her earlier vision.

"He is the same man I saw in the earlier vision. The one who sat on the throne. Dressed in fine green and gold, his head is shaven. He has a mustache and beard."

[Sutorenja]

Sutorenja frowned at the description and said, "That sounds like... no, it makes no sense."

[Yoko]

Yoko'd been looking to Shouji for a moment, thinking on something. When the extra revelation was made she looked back to Sutorenja, "Not my place to ask, but- I'll ask, what doesn't make sense?" Chuckling Yoko shook her head, "Cause right now it seems like that's pretty standard for how life's going."

[Ikoma Ren]

Sutorenja frowned at the description and said, "That sounds like... no, it makes no sense."

Ren looks over at Yoko and nods. "I agree. We are in a time when the things that make no sense are happening constantly. Betrayal from a trusted source is sadly less uncommon than the other things I've seen in the last day."

[Fuzake Hifumi]

"I have not pressed you for your secrets, Sutorenja-san. But, I feel my visions have little context without them."

[Ikoma Ren]

"I have not pressed you for your secrets, Sutorenja-san. But, I feel my visions have little context without them."

"You missed the reveal Fuzake-san." Ren looks over at Sutorenja. "Sutorenja-san has ties to the Imperial family"

[Fuzake Hifumi]

She did not seem surprised. "Close ties, I presume?"

[Ikoma Ren]

"Very. The seat you saw was not a metaphor, as I understand it"

[Fuzake Hifumi]

She nodded. "That suggests the man in my visions has ties to the Throne, as well."

[Ikoma Ren]

Something seems to click for Ren. "Wait, you can divine things Fuzake-san! I have heard leads about the supernatural. Can you see anything about the ghost of Hida Hitomi or dolls of soldiers belonging to Hida Gusari and Doji Bujeihime? Something needs to be reunited or something needs to be destroyed, or so says Doji Komohsmaru-san"

[Fuzake Hifumi]

She looked at the Lion with some confusion. "I do not know any of those names. Could you explain their importance?"

[Sutorenja]

“The man could be my eldest brother but if so then there is no way I would be against him he is heir by right. Named by my mother, this makes no sense, “ she said before sighing and moving away from the group and look at the sea alone.

[Yoko]

Yoko for her part had little more to add, but what was being said was important. So she stood where she was, crossed her arms, glanced over to Sutorenja but afforded the woman her peace and listened along.

[Ikoma Ren]

"Hitomi is supposed to be the spirit that is haunting the festival" Ren replies. "There seems to be something gives her power to trap is in this loop. I know we have the other problem of our killer Miya, but you seem to have sometjing that could give us a new lead"

Ren pauses at the reveal and follows Sutorenja along to the beach, nodding and motioning back at the others.

[Ichiro Taiki]

The Badger had heard things about a Ronin meeting at the beach the day before - the one he remembered and some didn't, that is. But he had though it probably wasn't anything important. People tended to worry too much about Ronin... many of them were actually just people trying to mind their business - in at least some cases, doing the best they could along the way. He thought it funny more people couldn't see that after Oturi's story, but... well, traditions die hard, probably, eh?

But anyway. The day repeated, and so did the rumour. He kept considering whether or not he should go check what the rumours were about, this time. He still thought it probably wasn't anything too serious, but... he had met or seen at least some ronin. The one he had talked to for a bit longer seemed like a very decent person indeed.

So after quite some time, he decided to leave the Inn and make his way to the beach. He arrived quite late, but still... there the meeting was. And there were Yoko, that other ronin from the Festival... and also the Monkey samurai-ko he had met. And... a Lion?

What was a Lion doing in a Ronin meeting, then?

He slowly made his way closer to the others, bowing to those he passed, but just stayed to one side for the time being, as they seemed to be involved in serious conversations already. About.... spirits, and haunting? And... a loop?

That definitely sounded important.

[Yue]

As preposterous as it might have been to involved the vision of the future, they were caught in a peculiar day. Yue didn't exactly have any authority in saying even which direction the wind was blowing. She bowed at the approaching Ichiro, assuming he was a friend of someone here. Even though she was in this meeting earlier, she might have been just as confused as him.
