SOMEONE'S RECEIVING HEAVEN'S BLESSINGS IN THIS THREAD.

>>36592602
We're more Chinese Electric Spiderman, but props on finding an excuse to use that joke.

>>36592530
so since C is like expert does that mean sky learns new skill quickly to an expert level

>>36592530
wulin, this is second thread in a row you did not announce on twitter.

>>36592634
You're killing me.

>>36592627
Well, we did learn Carefree Saber to a C- in one afternoon, so I'd say the answer is yes. Part of that "strong foundation in the fundamentals" bit. We can probably learn the basics of a style easily, but getting the rest would take using it in battle.

>>36592610
is that a euphemism for sky giving someone the D?

>>36592530
WE CAME TO THIS TOURNAMENT TO KICK ASS AND CHEW BUBBLEGUM, AND BUBBLEGUM HASN'T BEEN INVENTED YET

>>36592668
what do you mean by that?

he has a twitter linked in the first post of the thread, and the last thread announced on it was #7. this is thread #9.

>>36592627
It helps that Carefree Saber is a comparatively easy style to learn, especially given it's basic simplicity and Sky's intelligence.
>>36592530

You are eventually put down by the crowd, and you hear a booming voice come from the stage; Yuan Shanli's voice again.

>"WELL DONE, HERO SKY! YOUR VICTORY IS CLEARLY WELL-EARNED! NOW, WILL THE VICTOR AND THE MAJOR SECT HEROES PLEASE HEAD INTO YUAN MANOR!"

He smiles and nods at you from afar, and you nod back, unsure. You head over to your friends.

"Well Bro, might as well rub shoulders with the bigwigs. Be sure to rub in in their faces that you only started fighting a week ago, that'll be hilarious," Lei suggests

"Be CAREFUL Sky! If they decide you're a threat you don't know what they might do!"

>WDYS?

>"If they start nothing then I won't either," [Assure]

>"No worries. I'm probably not going to have much to do anyway. [Carefree]

>>36592703
A large part of it was that carefree saber is a very loose style which largely overlaps with what dad taught us and is mostly about the basics, it explicitly said that most of what there is to teach about it we already know.

We probably won't pick up an exotic style or one drastically different from our loose style in an afternoon. Also, its not like we mastered the style, we just learned enough to get a C- in it.

>>36592740
I think both fit here

>>36592740
>>"No worries. I'm probably not going to have much to do anyway. [Carefree]

>>36592740
>>"No worries. I'm probably not going to have much to do anyway. [Carefree]

Best girl, worst girl, any girl, she's still our fem-bro.

>>36592740
>"If they start nothing then I won't either," [Assure]

>>36592740
I am tempted to do write in for naive who thinks he is going to go in there and make friends in a friendly match. not realizing how bone headed some xia are.

>>36592740
>>"No worries. I'm probably not going to have much to do anyway. [Carefree]

>>36592740
>"No worries. I'm probably not going to have much to do anyway. [Carefree]

>>36592740
Hahah, at least assure Lei we'll try to put in a few jokes about that.

>>36592806
Well do that, I don't think Sky understands at all what he is walking into right now. Jianghu politics and powerplay

>>36592740
Say Sage, i think i missed that

How does Shanli looks?

>>36592831
I am pretty sure that last line is by zhuer not lei

>>36592740
>>"No worries. I'm probably not going to have much to do anyway. [Carefree]

>>36592856
Dude...
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about a different "assuring", the first line, the one by Lei.
He asks us to joke, we should tell him we will.

>>36592910
>What are you talking about?
I am talking about the fact that

>>36592740
>"Be CAREFUL Sky! If they decide you're a threat you don't know what they might do!"
was said by zhuer not by lei
And I thought when you said "assure" you were referring to
>"If they start nothing then I won't either," [Assure]
>[Assure]
Which is a reply to zhuer's line about being careful. not to anything lei said.

>>36592968
I'm aware anon, assure isn't a word that can only be used to choose from the options, it's actually a word by itself that doesn't immediatelly refer to any of the options.

When I said assure I meant telling him we WILL tell jokes.

I was aware the ASSURE OPTION meant Zhu'er's phrase, not Lei. I was just using the same fucking word, for a whole different reason.

>>36592740
>"If they start nothing then I won't either," [Assure]

>>36592854
Times like these I wish I could draw worth a shit. I have very clear visual images in my head for almost every character, but I'm not good enough to describe them all.
>>36592802, >>36592803, >>36592811, >>36592819, >>36592831, >>36592897

"Relax Zhu'er, I'll be alright. There's nothing they can do to me even if they tried," you say.

Zhu'er looks worried at that. "Sky, you're strong but there's so many going in there just as strong as you or even-"

"What? No, I meant I'm a REALLY fast runner, if shit goes down I'll just hoof it like the wind," you say, laughing.

You smile and walk over to Yuan Shanli, who nods to you. He's taller then you, with a well-muscled upper body covered in ornate gold and tan robes, long clothes worn by those with status. His house character is on the back, showing clearly his allegiance. His face is clean-shave and his hair is neck-length.

"Well done Hero Sky. I must admit, I wasn't expecting a showing even remotely like that from the Preliminaries," he says in a friendly tone.

>WDYS?

>"Thank you, Lord Yuan,"

>"Yeah, neither was I."

>>36593057
>"Thank you, Lord Yuan,"

>>36593057
>>"Yeah, neither was I."

>>36593057

We ain't not bitch xia. We poke fun at princesses lords and don't afraid of anything

>>36593057
>">"Thank you, Lord Yuan, neither was I."
MIX UP Option

Carefree as fuck. Like a boss.

>>36593057
>"Thank you, Lord Yuan,"
Can we change "Lord Yuan" to "Honored Host"? It keeps Sky's irreverence for titles but also shows respect.

>>36593057
>"Thank you, Lord Yuan,"

>>36593057
>>"Thank you, Lord Yuan,"

>>36593057
>"Yeah, neither was I."
Keep up the attitude

Hey Sage, are there any Xia THIS fabulous?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jO4aFX8INIE

>>36593106
Well that would be true. We didn't expect everyone else to suck so bad.

>>36593057
Why not make it thank you without the lord part?

To keep in character

>>36593057
Neither was I

>>36593178
this.

Please no, Lord

>>36593178
agreed, remove the lord bit.

>>36593178
That'd be fine. Be an irreverent boss is half the fun for me.

>>36593178
Please. I already voted for the 2nd but at least keep it in character

>>36593057
>>"Thank you, Lord Yuan,"
I didn't know which one was the option to be humble

>>36593025
>>>What are you talking about?
>>Explanation
>I'm aware anon
Then why did you ask what I am talking about?
Why didn't you just explain yourself instead of pretending ignorance?

>assure isn't a word that can only be used to choose from the options
Duh.
Stop being a condescending prick.
Of course it can be used for other stuff, but contextually it seemed to refer to the choice offered up by the author. So I thought that is how you meant it, because context. And then I figured out that isn't what you meant despite the fact you refused to say so, instead playing dumb to call other people dumb to stroke your ego.

>>36593057
>"What? No, I meant I'm a REALLY fast runner, if shit goes down I'll just hoof it like the wind," you say, laughing.
I laughed too.

>>36593154
Interestingly, no.
Long flowing locks is about as fabulous as it gets in Wuxia, but that's actually true of every single character who has it, namely everyone. Most male xia have incredibly heroic physical builds, usually visually on the ripped-as-fuck Hokuto-no-Ken side of physique regardless of how pretty they look. Girly men are STILL girly men there. This is largely because Japanese standards of physical attractiveness include girly-looking frail guys because, and it must be admitted, they have a long and proud tradition of homosexuality being accepted. There's even an Japanese word for it when a lord is fucking his boy samurai retainer (Ranmaru Mori says hi).
Sky for instance has the bishie hair, but is legit swole as fuck under his clothes.

The Storm Riders, Wind and Cloud, are a good visual example of what I'm talking about; clearly hair on the long side, but these guys look like they bench elephants.

>>36593057
>"Thank you, Lord Yuan,"

>>36593266
obviously thanking him.
the other one insults everyone else in the preliminaries.

>>36593297
I did explain myself, and you instead chose to jump at my rhetoric question...
Then my last post was me explaining myself again, because you failed to grasp it the first time.

I'm not being condescending, it's just annoying to have to explain things twice because someone thinks a word implies somethig it doesn't, regardless of context it was pretty obvious what it meant.

>>36593318
>Sky for instance has the bishie hair, but is legit swole as fuck under his clothes.
>bishie hair
>Swole as fuck
.... I APPROVE!

>>36593328
>the other one insults everyone else in the preliminaries.
Let's be honest here, it's not an insult if it's true.

Saying someone is weak is not insulting if they really ARE weak, as long as you don't make fun of them for it or anything. It's just fact.

>>36593364
A lot of people find such things insulting.

>>36593394
Then perhaps they should beat us a lesson for saying it. Oh wait. :3

>>36593364
>Saying someone is weak is not insulting if they really ARE weak, as long as you don't make fun of them for it or anything. It's just fact.
1. still insulting
2. the way it comes off in this particular phrasing comes off as haughty and belittling to those in the preliminaries rather than honest appraisal

>>36593414
Not saying we shouldn't mind you. I voted to say it because Sky has no concept of tact.

Ohh? Don't get it wrong Sage,
Jojo's BA is Gay as all hell, they even wear it lipstick

But almost everyone is SWOLE as all fuck
and Jonathan is pretty much that manly man song in drawing form

Those guys from the vid are gay, but they are the /fit/ kind of gay, like gay for MUSCLES

>>36593414
being mean to people because they are weaker than you is a sign of a rotten character.

>>36593419
Yeah, especially for a newcomer to the Wulin. That kind of attitude is usually reserved for pricks in theses sorts of stories. An upright Xia will either feign humility/be actually humble or simply stay quiet. Though being boastful and getting a stern correction to set you back on the right track is also a trapping of the genre I suppose.

>>36593466
That is true, it would make us sound like a spoiled princeling from a famed xia sect who looks down his nose at those dirty peasants.

>>36593433
Now back at me.

>>36593433
is it possible that "jojo's bizzare adventure" is a mistranslation of "jojo's queer adventure"?
because queer can be a synonym for bizarre and in fact used to be before it was co opted as being used to refer to homosexuals.

Also, AFAIK your typical gay man is not into bishies and ultra femenine men. Many don't know it but:
Yaoi = "gay men" written by women for women.
Bara = "gay men" written by gay men for gay men.

>>36593548
>your typical gay man is not into bishies and ultra femenine men.
I'm aware.
Just pointing out the thing with frail men.

A queer fellow doesn't need to like feminine men, actually less likely to.
More likely to want manly men. Bears.

>Jojo's queer adventure
top kek. I was showing this to my girl, she kept laughing and pointing out their lipstick colours

>>36593466
Correction, the hero does that.

Anyone sufficiently badass gets a pass.

"Thanks. It caught me by surprise too," you say, with a slight laugh.

Which is technically an accurate statement.

"May I ask, who is your Sifu?"

"Sure."

"......who is your Sifu?" he asks after his face takes a a mildly amused "cheeky little shit" expression.

"My father," you answer honestly. "I trained in the Min Mountains with him since I was born."

"He must be quite the xia then!" he compliments.

"Maybe. He never willingly left the Min Mountains since I was born," you say dryly.

"So you naturally came to test your skills here then! Excellent!"

"Sure," you say with a shrug...it's partially true you guess.

You follow him into the lavish mansion's waiting room, where the primary sect contestants all wait already.

"I can't believe we're waiting for some no-name xia without even a sect!" says Qi Qiang, impatience deeply etched on his voice.

"Amitābha, almsgiver Qiang," Brother Genshu says, his hand wrapped in prayer beads and raised in from of him. "Patience is not beyond one so mighty as yourself."

"Bah! Monks!" he says, throwing his hands up.

"Here is he," Fei Meilin says nodding in your direction as you come in.

"Hello again, almsgiver Tiankong. It is good to see you are doing well,"

"Hi Genshu. Still bald I see," you say with a nod, which surprises everyone there.

>>36593658
BADUM-TSHHHH

I had already forgotten Sky is capable of cracking jokes.

>>36593658
Genshu X Sky is my favorite pairing

>>36593740
I wonder if they were originally supposed to have quipped this much in the novelized version of the story.

>>36593740
eh, I prefer them as BFFs than actual lovers.

>>36593658
"Oh, hey Genshu, how are you doing? By the way, strangest thing! I heard there are a total of 72 forms in the entire Shaolin school, and most monks master only a fraction of that. Isn't that interesting? Ha ha."

At this point we give him a knowing look.

>>36593658
Wait, who was Fei?

>>36593769
Well i didn't mean to say them as a lovers mind you.

They're just have the best dialogue

>>36593658
Be bros with Genshu. Be charming with Zhengzhu. Be indifferent and aloof with everyone else until we get to know them.

>>36593658

The Wudang swordsman Ma Huizhong blinks and looks at Genshu.

"Honored Brother Genshu, you KNOW this Xia?" he says, surprised.

"Yeah, we met and fought. It's a whole thing," you say, brushing it off.

"Yong Xia!" Yuan Shilong says, getting your attention with his voice, and clapping.
"Refreshments are being provided for you," he says motioning at the well-provisioned table, "But mingle amongst yourselves, as I have business to attend to before setting up the final rules," he says with a bow.

Everyone begins to mill around nervously, speaking only with their faction-assistants.

I would like to describe our lightening fist to him and ask his advice about whether we should use it, and if so against whom, from the perspective of not wanting to accidentally kill any of our opponents.
And not implying that we are going to win, but just that that technique might be a bit too dangerous for such a friendly match.

Talking to Zhengzhu is obligatory, since she not only went out of her way to find us and wish us well but gave us a token of esteem too.

We can talk more about how apprently he knows all of the styles. And How "rare" it is.
As well ask him some advice for our upcoming fights. Things we should be on the look at for for our competitors.

>Speak with Heaven Sword Alliance's Xiao Jian

>>36594076
This is actually probably a good idea at some point. He is a pacifist and is not fighting, and he seems like a bro. He would probably steer us right, and maybe we will get to fight with him again later and learn new things if he wants us to show him.

I mean, our style was made to kill people right? We don't want to kill people in a tournament. He would likely give us good advice simply because that mirrors his own philosophy.

I am so tempted to ask the one lei said doesn't like men if she can explain this to us for the hue
but that is probably an awful idea

>>36593966
>See if Genshu wants to chat while you eat.
Then maybe talk to some other people.

>>36594099
Mostly because an order would be nice, as I have pics for all of them and they all deserve their individual conversations. Since Genshu and Zhuzheng are the ones most folks agree on, I'll start there.
Literally everyone who is going to be in this room is a major character.
>>36594115
I omitted him in purpose; he seems to not be here.

Obligatory to at least trade some words with Dragon lady and Monk buddy.

I mean its just rude to ignore them.

>Mostly because an order would be nice
so, if we agree on an order, can we actually speak to all of them?

You stand there for a second, watching everyone, who seem content to just avoid each other.

"Oh for crying out loud!" you say, throwing your hands up in the air and going for the food.

You begin pouring yourself some wine and and getting some food when Genshu extracts himself from the Shaolin Sect monks and joins you.

"The Top Ten Young Heroes stand around a large expensive hallway and are too paranoid to eat while the country bumpkin xia is the only one brave enough to eat the food. I'm sure there's a metaphor in there somewhere," he begins.

"Confucius say; 'Hungry man don't give a fuck'," you respond, and he begins laughing so hard at that that he has to bend over and touch his knees to steady himself.

"Woo!" he says, wiping a tear from his eye. "I'm gonna have to remember that one. But don't let the Junzi Society hear it, they get really cranky when you insult important ancestors."

"Sounds like you know from experience," you say with a raised eyebrow.

"Amitābha, Hero Sky. I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about," he says with a smile.

"So, any idea what YuansHisname is doing while everyone in here sits here feeling awkward?"

"I'm not sure, but you probably have something to do with it I imagine," he says.

You gulp down a baozi bun filled with pork.

"Me? Why?" you say, genuinely confused.

"I'm sure you're canny enough to recognize the somewhat unfair nature of the Preliminaries?"

"How unfair are we talking about?" you ask, unsure.

"Likely all of you will get a chance to fight with each other, regardless of whom looses to whom. Otherwise there'd be no way to know whom was truly best of all, only which person they might be able to beat on a good day."

"Still not seeing what this has to do with me?"

"Obviously the Preliminaries were designed to remove all but one person from a minor faction, and even then he must go through every other hopeful in the crowd to get there. This is supposed to ensure that only the worthies, and most importantly to some Wulin personages I imagine, the best secondary faction emerges so that certain Wulin personages know who to appease and make friends with," he explains.

"And I have no faction at all.

"Precisely, Hero Sky," he says, bowing to your observational skills.

"So, are any of these tournament things actually about, you know, FIGHTING?" you ask in a mildly irritated tone.

Maybe entering was a stupid idea....

"Usually ones like this are, but as I'm sure you've heard, having it openly in a public city like this is somewhat unusual."

so, if we end up beating up Ao, do you think she will forgive us?
on the one hand, I don't want to white knight, on the other hand, knocking out a girl's teeth is more than a bit awkward... for that matter, the bishies will probably be equally upset with us if we mar their beauty in our fights

"Add to that the ease with which you defeated your opposition despite being a complete unknown with no faction backing you, and you become something of a mystery and an anomaly here. Obviously the others are interested in you as well," he says, nodding at the other cliques in the room.

You glance around and see he's right; most of the others keep looking your way. Hong Lan even flutters her eyelashes at you when she sees you looking at her, which makes you glance away awkwardly.

The only two who don't seem to be Qiu Qiang and Xiao Jian. Their escorts occasionally do, but they do not. Jian stands with both hands on his sword, eyes closed, and Qiang with his arms folded and looking away, tapping his foot.

"Huh. Well might as well introduce myself to them at some point."

"When you do so, I'll be over here, at a safe distance. Speaking of which...," he says, and then Ao Zhuzheng runs up

"Lord Sky!" she says, joy in her face. "I'm glad to see you again!"

"Yeah, I was talking to-" you say, looking over for Genshu, who is in fact no longer standing next to you. You look around for him frantically.

"How the hell does he DO that?" you mutter.

It's like a Buddhist Batman.

guys, presenting the hairpin would be a sign of rejecting her token of goodluck, this kills the romance.

>>36595024
Should we start calling him Batmonk then?

>>36595035
Actually, I think it would be more like fulfilling our promise to find her again or something, if I recall?

I like the hairpin thing, seems more friendly than just, "Hey, sup?"

>>36595078
maybe she is just confused by how bishie the mc is?

>>36595095
Maybe he's so hot he can make the spider-licker thirst for the mountain's spring

>>36595035
>>36595091
it is a bit unclear which of those two it is. which is why i went for the more neutral good to see you.
also, i am pretty sure we aren't supposed to actually return it, but rather keep it as a memento of her forever.

>>36594942
I have no idea what the difference between these two options will be, so

Show her the hairpin and thank her for her wishes and cheering, she was very... energetic!

>>36595078
Or it could just be, you know, something to break the ice and get us talking to her for politics.

Or maybe she isn't actually a lez and just has significant other circumstances.

We should ask her!

"Yeah, it's been so long since we last me I totally forgot that thing I promised you," you say dryly, but with a small grin on your face.

She blushes again, then looks away, coughing.

"Lord Sky, it occurs to me that when we last spoke I was...unkind," she admits.

"You dropped this by the way," you say, upholding the hairpin.

"You kept it!" she says, her face lighting up in a girlish way again.

"It's....it's only been like, a couple of hours?" you say, her mood shift catching you off-guard.

"But you wore it in battle, I saw!"

This girl is hard to get the hang of; sometimes she's the proud princess, other times she's a squealing girl who seems REALLY excited about certain things.

"I...yes, I kept it, like you said!" you say, backing up a little.

"I knew you would! My Lord Sky already showed himself to be noble, and now he is shown to be gallant as well!" she says, holding her fists up under her chin and bouncing up and down.

"I...yeah I...say, where's What His Name right now?!" you say, looking around, edging on something like panic. She's...really, really excited now.

"Who?"

"Yeah, that guy!"

"Oh, you mean Sho Eiji! He's over there," she says, calming down and pointing a thumb over at the gathering of Dragon Clan men.

You look over and meet Eiji's eyes as he has the most exaggeratedly angry frowny face and the single most murderous glance you've ever seen

>Interlude

Sho Eiji stood, glaring daggers at the ruffian xia.

"I fucking hate that guy."

>Interlude End

A most succinct interlude.

i knew she was being rude every one said noo but i was right

that interlude

>>36595425
He hates a guy, not the whole country.

>>36595448
What difference does it make tho? Would you have called her out on it?

>>36595362
My sides have gone on an expedition to claim the imperial seal.

>>36595497

> something of a mystery and an anomaly

So you're saying... they were shocked?

>>36595548
She wasn't intentionally being rude. It's not like she was saying fuck you or anything. It was a perfectly legit assumption to make considering how weak all the other open tourney people were, and we didn't even have a school.

>>36595548
We didn't say she wasn't being rude, just that we didn't take offense at it. She's clearly not good at speaking to people who she's not superior in station to. She got flustered and said something dumb. No reason to get mad at her for it.

>>36595570
i know but i got a lot of shit when i said she was being rude and had no faith in sky

>>36595592
this

>>36595601
At that point Sky hadn't done anything to make her have faith. I think some guy said she was just being realistic, which I agree with.

>>36595601
all of which was justified.

>>36595601
Well,you were right I suppose.

>>36595624
we did flip her guard like paper

".......he seems nice," you say, looking away with a wince.

"He's okay," she says with a shrug. "He always insists on being my bodyguard everywhere even though I'm stronger then him. Could use some lightening up. He's a good first officer though, so what can you do?" she says, calmer again.

"So, yeah, about what you were saying?"

"My hairp-"

"BEFORE the hairpin."

"Oh! Yes," she says, her Princess Voice putting itself on again.

"Lord Sky. I was unkind to you earlier, making the assumption that you would most likely be beaten before I had seen your skill. I apologize to you. I was not intending to be rude when I said it," she says, bowing to you with her hands folded on her weapon in the Wulin Salute.

You wonder if you that heat you're feeling in the direction of where you're certain Whatshisname is still standing and glaring at you is imaginary, or somehow a side-effect of his gaze.

"Hey, no harm done. You'd never seen me fight and I had to go through something like twenty-five guys just to get here. It's kind of a reasonable assumption to make I suppose."

"Then my Lord Sky is not offended?!" she says, happy again.

"I...no, I'm good! So, ahem," you say, changing the subject again, "I guess we're fighting each other in this round?"

"Yes," she says, serious again. "I hope you display continued might. I shall do my very best to impress you in battle, and give you my full efforts when we face each other." She gives the Salute again as she says it.
"I shall attempt not to seriously injure or maim you, my Lord Sky."

"That's...that's nice of you. So I gotta go, if you want your hairpin back...," you say, reaching for it.

"Keep it! It'll bring you luck in battle and I want to see you fight with it more!" she says happily, turning and skipping away.

You exhale after she's gone.

You walk over back to the table, and pour a drink. You feel like you're gonna need a few.

"Where's that nosy monk?" you mutter, looking around.

"Looking for Genshu?" come a voice on the other end of the table. You see Yang Meilin there, smiling and partaking of the food.

"Yea," you admit with a nod.

"He does that,"

"The vanishing thing?"

"And the appearing thing. Mostly to play his pranks I think,"

"Yeah, that sounds like him," you say, rolling your eyes. "You know him then?"

"We've met before, yes. Forgive me, I am Yang-"

"-Meilin, I remember. Tiankong," you respond, and you both salute the other.

"Everyone was quite impressed with your performance earlier. Except Genshu I suppose. He simply seemed amused."

"He ALWAYS seems amused...," you mutter.

"Ah, but here he was stroking an invisible beard while holding one hand behind his back while looking on with pretend squinty old person eyes and going 'I seem to have found some holes in your theories'."

"Huh?"

"Well, my peers were inquiring at the reasons why lesser factions would turn out lesser xia, and of course correlating said reasons with why OUR faction has superior xia," she admits with a chuckle.

>>36596323
She does seems like a nice lady

>>36596390
Yeah. I really like her.

>>36596409
She said almost nothing

>>36596427
Yeah, I really like her.

>>36596440
Fucking necrophiliacs.

>>36596427
She told us that members of her faction were acting smug and superior about lesser factions not being as capable as them and is laughing at them being proven wrong by our performance. So that's something at least.

>>36596323

"You don't approve of your colleagues theories then?"

"Right..." you say, nodding your head, your eyes looking to the side in thought.

"....what's an ovary?" you finally ask.

She blinks, smiles, then makes a "kkkksssh!" sound before breaking into peals of laughter that ring across the hall, drawing attention of everyone in the room, making you feel awkward. Well, even MORE awkward anyway.

Her laughter is not an unpleasant sound though; it's melodious and warm, like a blanket.

She clutches her stomach and steadies herself on the haft of her spear, before shaking her head and smiling at you.

"I see why Genshu likes you. You feel as uncomfortable during all these proceedings as much as he and I do, don't you?"

"Yeah. It just seems...a little superficial," you explain.

"That's because it is. You're wiser then your years show to notice it Hero Sky,"

"I'm twenty, actually," you note, and she smiles a coy smile this time.

"Oh, that close to me in age? Good to know."

"Why's that?" you ask with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh, nothing," she says, smiling again, her eyes glittering in amusement.

"So, if you don't agree with the Junzi Society's theories why be a pat of them?"

"Because my Sifu, Master Zhuge Zhengwo, is a member. And because once you get past all the stuffy conservatism some of them have, they aren't so bad. They genuinely are righteous folk, they just need help getting over themselves sometimes."

"And you help with that?"

"Sometimes," she says with a shrug. "Sometimes I just ignore them and do what I think is right."

>>36596882
>"Oh, that close to me in age? Good to know."

>"Why's that?" you ask with a raised eyebrow.

Also, gonna be honest, I won't mind if she gets to be third girl.

>>36596956
who's to say thats not who snatched him up?
His amazon women army have been looking for him for YEARS!

So guys, in fight with Dragon Sword Princess Zhengzhu, will we be using our bro Lei's sword style to start? Sword vs. Sword?

Not sure if it's a good idea to challenge another young master on her home turf like that, but eh... might be better than fighting with our hands.

>>36596965
Eh, I like her but I am not sure she is third girl materiel yet. Maybe when we see more of her.

>>36597027
why not give are bros style an electric boost

>>36597054
Well, mostly because it's his style that we will be showcasing, on his behalf.

>>36597077
His external style, we're free to use whatever internals we want.

>>36597089
Hmmm. Point.

Perhaps make it subtle? Electrical charge through the sword so that our foe's arm becomes numb and less nimble?

>>36597110
I am fine with that.
We can do a few jolts every now and then.
Make her focus on dodging and wondering what the fuck is going on.

You nod; it sounds like something you'd do too. Lei was right; she IS nice.

"So you're in your faction just because your Master was?" you say.

There's no disapproval in your voice; you may not have always been polite to your father, but you were ALWAYS filial to him, as both your father and teacher.

"Sort of," she says, folding her hands behind her, her spear's covered point sticking out above her back as she folds her hands around it. "I also like books a lot."

"Books?"

"Yes. Reading, learning, poetry, art. I love all of that! There's so much that should be preserved and kept intact for future generations to read and learn from. The Society is right about that at least," she explains.

If glasses had been invented yet, she'd be wearing them basically; she's the sweet, bookish type.
But you know. With spears and kungfu.

"But not the other stuff?"

"No," she says firmly, but gently. "They have this firm belief that everything older is more legitimate and thus more worth knowing. Not ALL ideas from the past are worth emulating, certainly," she says, sounding concerned about the subject.

"That makes sense. I've heard previous Emperors were cruel tyrants, and they're as much a part of the past as anything else," you note.

"Yes, exactly! Wow, it's weird having my opinions validated as legitimate twice in one day."

"Genshu?"

"Mmhmm. So, may I ask you trained you?"

"My father. He's a mountain hermit,"

"Mine's a General in the Capitol. I don't see him much anymore," she says with a note of regret, turning to go

"Thank you for talking with me Hero Sky, but I'd best return to my fellows before they decide I need to be married to someone again!"

"They tried to MARRY you?"

"To 'calm me down'," she says with a smile.

"How did that work out?"

"I told them they could marry me to whomever they wanted," she says with a smile, "so long as he could beat my spear!"

>>36597245

"Come speak again if you want though, Hero Sky," she offers with another smile.

"Will do. And nice meeting you!" you say with a bow

>>Speak with Wudang Sect's Ma Huizhong

>>36597380
With our luck it's going to turn out that we're the only male contestant she doesn't defeat, leading to her sect hounding after us to demand we marry her.

>>36597477
Naah, it won't be her sect, it'll be her, her sect won't want us because we lack any noble credentials.

She on the other hand will fall head over heels for us as an intelligent kind and yet oh so strong warrior.

>>36597002
I knew it! Poor Ba!

>>36597511
>intelligent

News to me.

>>36597550
He's smart, but not educated.

>>36597550
hey, I was referring to her perspective, she was quite taken with his views in that short conversation.

>>36597002
ohahahaha
this is hilarious.

Excellent.
>>36597368
Yang is her surname, not her given name.
>>36597284

You smile at the retreating Spear Sage, glad to have met ONE new person here who isn't crazy.

"You're pretty popular tonight," a new voice says, as the Wudang Sect hopeful walks past Meilin with a nod to her. She nods back.

"Considering everyone seems to be going out of their way to come up and talk to me, I have to agree. My plan to hoard the entire buffet table with my mysterious presence is failing then. Curses," you say dryly.

Huizhong startles you by going into soft laughter, quieter and more dignified then Meilin and Genshu's, but still noticeable.

"Okay, I see why Brother Genshu likes you. I actually came over here to see what was so funny; this room is a little dour."

"Actually the soup had the word 'please help me, I am locked inside the kitchens and forced to slave over soup' floating on it's surface in noodles. It was spelled really poorly so they started laughing."

>Huizhong startles you by going into soft laughter, quieter and more dignified then Meilin and Genshu's, but still noticeable.
wait... did we make every single person who talked to us here burst out in laughter?

>>36597631
>Excellent.

Rejoice! He's not the only one.

>>36597631
>"Actually the soup had the word 'please help me, I am locked inside the kitchens and forced to slave over soup' floating on it's surface in noodles. It was spelled really poorly so they started laughing."

fucken love it

>>36597631
can we waifu a bishi?

>>36597631

Yeah, I know, I just went with the name with less letters to type out.

>>36597675

Bromance man, just like the one we have with Lei.

>>36597651
So far yes. I have a feeling QQ won't be so accommodating. He's got freaking Gato as his likeness after all.

>>36597683
copy and paste like a boss

>>36597631

It's the day of the monk bros.

>>36597704

Shhhhh! I need to hide my cultural incompetence.

This is particularly embarrassing because I'm asian.

>>36597714
dont worry im good at keeping secrets.

Did we forget to archive thread 8?

>>36597785

It's archived as thread 7. There's two 7s now

>>36597830
Ah so there is. Thanks for clearing that up.

>>36597651
Wit is in short supply in the Jianghu and Sky has a surplus.
>>36597664
Double excellent.
>>36597675
I'm pretty sure waifuing has literally nothing to do with logic of any kind, so go right ahead.
>>36597704
It's what I do.
>>36597701
HAHAHAHAHAH.
Yes.
>>36597785
No, but I appear to have accidentally labeled it "Quest 7".
>>36597631

Huizhong starts laughing again.

"Wow, okay. We need more of you up at Wudang. I'm Ma Huizhong!"

"Tiankong."

"May I ask, did I indeed recognize Duan Lei's Carefree Saber technique in your fighting style earlier?"

"You did, actually. Duan Lei is my Sworn Brother, and thanks to injuries he could not compete, so he taught me his style to showcase it in battle for him. I'm still learning it," you admit

"He taught you his style?" he says in surprise. "You must be a hero of some caliber then, as he is known for his upright and chivalrous behavior!"

Also, already close to 300 posts AGAIN.!

>>36597845
sage, you haven't posted a notice on twitter for this thread, nor the last one.

>>36597845
It's tough being popular. Probably best to get used to it and only make a new thread once you hit page 9 or 10 or something. Also does QQ have a little sister chasing him around?

>>36597845
>Also, already close to 300 posts AGAIN.!
well, even after reaching 300 posts it still takes several hours before a thread is locked.
and when it is, can just start a new one. (or just before it is locked by checking which page it is, wait until it reaches page 9)

>>36597898
I figured everyone was here already.
>>36597899
I'll be a bit of a spoiler and say he's an only child.
>>36597845

"If by 'upright' you mean 'perpetually informal' and by 'chivalrous' you mean 'puts wine away like he has a hollow leg', then yeah, he's definitely both of those things," you say with a smile.

"Well, he may be a bit unorthodox, be he always behaves justly and with honor. This makes him a good man, and thus worthy of respect in my books," he says firmly with a nod.

"You don't mind unorthodox behavior as long as the person is just and decent?"

"Not really. It seems unfair to judge people as anything other then individuals to me."

You smile and nod at this. Huizhong seems like a decent guy.

good night gents

>>36598028
>I figured everyone was here already.
why would they? people have a life beyond checking the catalog in /tg/ for your quest every 5 minutes.
hence the whole "notification via twitter" thing.

>>36597244
It wouldn't be intentional. His swag would just be too strong. That's why he was in the mountains.

>>36598086
good night sweet prince

Take it easy on the guy, it's not hard to assume it can't be much more than 30 and so many.

I do agree it'd be nice if he announced, but at least thread 1 was justified since he was on borrowed time to start it up and get it running
