Kusanagi’s posture is…readied, yet at ease. As if they could indeed slice your head if at the twitch of their whiskers, but until then we’re content to ‘relax’ and let things be. Reminds you of some of the upper Ace Trainers more battle hardened Mons or the more warrior like species that have bee at it for some time - easily affable, just as easily demolish any fool that crosses them, and back again with no change to their demeanor. This lady, in other words, is one to tread lightly around, or be as straightforward with her as can be.


You spot a camera by its full red light in the upper left corner of the room. No mic on it that you can see, but that doesn’t mean there are not was hidden around.

Leaves gives you a ping of acknowledgement, and you can feel them faintly overlaping their sense of ‘understanding’ as she pays closer attention now. 

Which, coincidentally, prompted a reaction: the old otter lowered her cup and craned their head down. You could see their whiskers twitching and their posture becoming…more ready, if you had to guess.

Your response causes the to ‘focus’ on you, their face still in the shadows but now turned to EXACTLY where the are sitting AND looking. Then, she *Snorts* .

Translation: “Direct. Impertinent. But you are right. Let us ‘speak’ . It is rare that one your kind can understand the the original tongue. Rarer still one a young warrior like you. Curious…but irrelevant. For now. You may begin.”

It seems they picked up your ‘ability to understand Pokespeak. Very sharp, this Samuratt was…

(Gonna tackle this separately for now.  Need to still think about what to type for day 3, encounter 1)

Relaxed, but ready.  Seddi can relate.  He's very much staying at the ready himself, especially since there's a camera in the room.  Gotta tread lightly.

"Well, I don't mean to be rude, but I do rather think gettin' to the point is valuable.  Here's the lowdown: I'm sure you're aware of the Wandering Hurricane that's claimed the Forsaken Beach as its territory.  City's government wants me to 'take care of it'.  They estimate it's going to try to claim some of the city next, and that's not exactly very appealing for obvious reasons.  It's going to be dangerous, so I need some assistance.  I've got a group rounded up for it, but I still need a few aces up my sleeve.  A swordsmon of your skill, living by the phrase 'live by the sword, die by the sword'?  Right up my alley for a job like this.  If you meet your end but give us a crucial advantage?  Great.  If you survive and help us beat it?  Well, as someone here to research Sutalör's more unique critters, it's not going to be the last time my partners and I are going to be risking our necks.  Plenty of opportunity for you to test your blades against worthy opponents."

"Figured that we could help each other, and that's why I'm speakin' with you now.  I'd be lying if I were to say I wasn't interested in seein' you in action and seein' what kinds of skills my Swords and I could pick up from ya, though.  Always more to learn."

He'll pause and let Kusanagi stew on that for a second.

"So, any questions?"
