bando: first blood

[bypartisan]

... tell me, is there an award for earliest, most ignominious death in a jaunt? Because I think I may have won that anti-prize.

Those of you in Nakamiyo, tread lightly around Gyakusatsu Izanami. And see if you can hide my body? I'm on the outskirts of Mibu Village, on the disused path near the Sentai clanhouse. If I'm lucky enough that no one but Izanami knows I died then perhaps I can slip back into my overlay's life.

[Sorry, By. That's not going to happen. Given that it took about a day for you to resurrect in Liminal--must have been Bai's fate as a pincushion that caused the delay--not only do all the Sentai siblings know about your death, but so should most of Mibu Village.]

Yeah. You got it in one. It was ... kinda a mess.

Well, with luck you won't meet this Izanami.

[truerevelation]

You said she was Istas' overlay, right? I ... mighta already. She came over just to be all 'you suck' at me outta nowhere.

[bypartisan]

... that sounds like her overlay, yes. Bai was extremely wary of her, to the point of always betting on her brother whenever her brother and his youngest sibling had their annual brawl.

(Well, also, Ren was the sure winner every time, but the point is that he still might have bet on Hibine out of family feelings if it wouldn't have offended Izanami.)

In any case, please tell me you were polite to her.

[truerevelation]

Yeah. Just nodded 'n let her say what she wanted. I mean, she was pissin' me off, but... I've had enough people judgin' me in the past. I can deal with it.

[bypartisan]

... that was very much the correct path for dealing with her.

[truerevelation]

Not surprised. Those kinda people don't wanna hear anythin' except the sound of their own ego. 'n if she's that dangerous...
...I'll steer clear. If I can.

[bypartisan]

Please do. She's really not to be trifled with.
