The D3 dinner party has a crasher!

Mindshred wrote:The hunter crouched amid the shadows of the tent, her bottom in the air as her tail flicked anxiously from side to side. She waited, quietly, watching as the humans wandered about the tent, oblivious to the danger she represented.

They thought themselves the rulers of this land.

This day would see them pay for their hubris.

As the Badger samurai passed her by, she saw her moment to strike. Muscles tensed as she pounced forward, front legs extended as her claws sliced out from their fleshy sheathes...




Suddenly, a cat leaps up onto the dinner table, her feet trampling across three different types of sauce. A flick of her paw sends a bowl of soup spilling across an assortment of fish dishes, providing a distraction as she leaps forward, plowing into the stacked bottles of sake and sending them crashing to the floor.

Eyes wide with enjoyment, Kon the cat skitters around, her rump wiggling as she pounces right into the heart of the dinner table. She twists as she jumps, landing on her side and transitioning into a roll that takes her from the midway point of the table to the far end, leaving cat hair in her wake and a great deal of smushed food in her fur.

The Idea of a courtly Doji being led into court on a giant horse is a good image:

"Hai, Shinjo-san." she said.

You're not the only one.

Shinjo Akil wrote:He held up the reins. "Take this. Most of the effort will be done with your legs and feet, but you can pull back quickly on this if you want him to stop." Once she has the reins, he continues, "a small tap with your feet will get him to start walking forward. Tap with both feet, or he might get confused and start trying to turn on you."

He moved his eyes to Setem, whispering calmly. "Be good, boy. Help your buddy out, here."


I found Akil asking his horse to wingman for him to be really endearing.

Moto Baatar wrote:"Tell us a tale about how you taught Kyra to be samurai, Shimizu-san," Baatar urged, seemingly heedless of the tension that had arisen. "I've utterly failed to teach my horse how to be samurai, and would like to benefit from your example." The young rider grinned impishly.

Bees make the honey, silly.

Matsu Nintoku wrote:The Matsu stepped towards the two woman visibly pleased for their performance "Good job. You've really demonstrated the potential that lays inside of you both."

He turned first to his cousin "Matsu-san as expected of someone of our family your strength and martial abilities are on point." he congratulated her "It comes to no one's surprise that you managed to defeat Usagi-san."

He then turned to the Usagi "Usagi-san you surprised me." his tone conveyed that it had been a good surprise "You showed a fearlessness and bravery that I simply did not know you had inside of you. With a bit of practice you will be a great fighter and even if you wield no weapon you will at least manage to defend yourself."

"Tell me Usagi-san do you remember yesterday?" he questioned her "When I defeated the Mantis?"



A... a Lion samurai, a Matsu, just complimented this squishy little courtier?! :shock:
