Killing Me Softly (D8, LA, Open)

[Moto Khulun]

“I have been studying the form, it is intriguing, I like it,” she says looking at the two duelists converse.

“Have you done duel, sayyeda?” she says to Kogo.

"Duels are not unheard of anywhere, really. Perhaps among the Phoenix?"

"How do mantis duel?" she asks.

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo shakes her head. "Not as yet, Moto-san. Have you dueled another?"

[Moto Khulun]

Kogo shakes her head. "Not as yet, Moto-san. Have you dueled another?"

“Once and the Heavens favored neither that night,” she says wistfully.

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo looks intrigued. "That sounds like an interesting duel. Perhaps you will tell me of it sometime."

[Soshi Yuuru]

Yuuru wandered over by the Togashi and nodded a greeting, "Nice to see you again Togashi-san."

[Togashi Udo]

Yuuru wandered over by the Togashi and nodded a greeting, "Nice to see you again Togashi-san."

Udo bows. "Soshi-san, hello. How lays the land?"

[Moto Khulun]

Kogo looks intrigued. "That sounds like an interesting duel. Perhaps you will tell me of it sometime."

She is quiet then says, “We have time if you have ears to listen.”

[Soshi Yuuru]

He chuckled, "That's what I've come to see. Part of me would like to see what these Unicorn are made of... Though Kakita-trained might be a bit of a difficult start."

He smiled and turned his face to the monk, "And what about yourself? Got a picture of what your future may look like yet? You've been quite successful in the competitions the Unicorn have prepared for us."

[Matsu Kogo]

Kogo looks intrigued. "That sounds like an interesting duel. Perhaps you will tell me of it sometime."

She is quiet then says, “We have time if you have ears to listen.”

Kogo nods. "It seems an appropriate conversation to have, as long as it would harm no one here."

[Togashi Udo]

He chuckled, "That's what I've come to see. Part of me would like to see what these Unicorn are made of... Though Kakita-trained might be a bit of a difficult start."

He smiled and turned his face to the monk, "And what about yourself? Got a picture of what your future may look like yet? You've been quite successful in the competitions the Unicorn have prepared for us."

Udo nods. "I'm beginning to have an idea, yes. I've been doing better in the last few days. I think the trouble from the orochi has encouraged me to better myself." He shrugs off his comment.

"I am also interested in the duel, though I must say I have some questions about it. Did you hear the rumors?"

[Soshi Yuuru]

He nodded, "And I heard the songs that were their origin... Were you not there yesterday?"

[Togashi Udo]

He nodded, "And I heard the songs that were their origin... Were you not there yesterday?"

"I was, though I got distracted with this business after a time. It was hard to listen to the songs when talk of a duel was being thrown about."

[Yuzuki]

"How do mantis duel?" she asks.

"Whilst drunk," she said, "really, really drunk."

[Moto Khulun]

She nods and speaks loudly enough for Yuzuki and Kogo to hear, “It was a dark and stormy night, tis true. She came for me in the dark the most beautiful princess… she was of course jealous of my own strength and beauty.”

The lightning framed her approach as I called to her and sais that I would not submit to her whims and be second to her! She scoffed and claimed that even the heavens knew I was the lesser and I said, these are empty words sayyeda.”

“Then you are challenged and there was thunder and flash of lightning.”

Khulun motions with her hands as she speaks and says, “She dismounted and we came to this very spot and in the moonlight we showed our stances, the rain did not deter us. Her stance was near perfect mine was fierce and we took our measures and our blades flashed like the storm and in the end neither could prove our case to the heavens.”

“We embraced and went our separate ways, sometimes I wonder whatever became of the night princess, so fierce. Perhaps we shall cross blades some day in the future,” she says wistfully.

"I was, though I got distracted with this business after a time. It was hard to listen to the songs when talk of a duel was being thrown about."

He nodded, "That's right. I remember your song for Otaku Imane-sama. Quite impressive."

He smiled, "Is that where your heart truly lies at this moment, or was it a different statement you were making? You can tell me, she seems to have no interest in me anymore since we had lunch a few days ago."
