[D6 LA] Science!

[Moshi Asakiko]

"Ah... There is power in words and the dedication you give your meishodo is not really elemental... it is spiritual. Chi... you carve your meishodo an give it a word of power. It is heard by the Kami but they dont interact with it. Your essence is what give the power to the word and the meishodo. Your dedication, your effort and your spiritual energy... that is probably what is going on... I think..."

[Iuchi Dong-Ha]

"We will study this, of course." Dong-Ha nodded, looking at each of the participants in turn. "But this is an important result, and a result I wish you to share with others. The more we understand, the better. We might not be the ones who make the next important discovery, just as it was not Iuchi-shiryo who perfected the meishodo, but his student, Iuchi Nobane-shiryo."

"What would you think are the next questions that we should try to answer?"

[Moshi Asakiko]

"You wanted to know emotions and air is the one to be the element of emotions. So perhaps that could be our next step." The Moshi suggested.

[Iuchi Dong-Ha]

"There would be a problem with that, Moshi-san. Most us have very weak grasp of air, intangible as it is. I guess... we could summon a small gust of air but I don't have a such charm prepared..." He made a mental note to see if he could actually craft one. "Unless Saksaha-san has something that'd work?"

[Iuchi Saksaha]

"No," Saksaha says with an air (ha) of some regret at having to disappoint them. "It is as Dong-Ha-san said. Air charms are hardest. I have not mastered any either. With Water and Earth I have more successes."

((Gotta wait for Rank 2 for the Air stuff. ))

[Moshi Asakiko]

"So you are elementally attuned. Interesting..." She nodded. "Each element represents an aspect of the ningen... Isawa sama should explain a bit. Air is emotions, fire is life..."

[Iuchi Dong-Ha]

"Earth is permanence, Water stands for change, yes? I believe Iuchi-shiryo focused on earth-sorcery because the element is ubiquitous. Even under the rivers and on top of the mountains... there is always Earth somewhere under your feet." the young Iuchi mused. "Perhaps the air is too capricious to be commanded as easily as the other elements, then."

[Isawa Nonin]

"Air is indeed tricky," agreed Nonin.

[Moshi Asakiko]

The Moshi chuckled being an air shugenja. "Well both fire and air can be tricky. Controlling such force that tends to destroy can be also tricky. I do enjoy the freedom of air."

[Iuchi Saksaha]

"Even Fire is easier to trap and shape in hard material," Saksaha puts in, touching the charms hanging at her breast. "Metal, wood, some stones, all these have connection with fire and water. With air, I think we will have to work more abstractly. I will ask my teachers later, but... this does not help our experiments now, I am afraid."

[Iuchi Dong-Ha]

"But I believe we are then done for a moment, unless anyone has a question?"

[Isawa Nonin]

"Let us agree to keep in touch after the miai and work together to learn how best to use this knowledge for the betterment of the Empire," suggests Nonin.

[Iuchi Dong-Ha]

"That's not a bad idea. I was thinking that each of us could ponder this for few days, and then we could reconvene for a dinner, for example." Dong-Ha suggested. "If only to make sure where to direct our communications in case we discover something. And well, maybe to celebrate today's results."

"Excellent idea, Iuchi Dong-Ha-san," nodded Nonin.

[Iuchi Saksaha]

"I like this thought also," Saksaha says with a smile.
