Not sure what's going on, to be honest... 

@Lady Selune Enlighten me.

お前はもう死んでいる@Sigurd

何!!! 

I'll take that as interest in the Japanese one, otherwise you're just quoting memes at me...and you'd never do that, right? RIGHT?!

I pushed 'today' to the limits of its definition but there it is!@Laduguer

A post is a post is a post, as they say.

I hope your degree went well, my own was pretty poor compared to what I could have done...I blame the drink.

@Rithy I assume you drew that, in which case...very nice, very nice indeed.

Yea, I can see how that would be what you imagined, fits quite well; I especially love the attention to detail, 'need for speed' indeed. 

I'll get a post up today and end this - one question, does our Orkish adversary actually have any close-coombat weapons? From what I can tell, he's bristling with guns and dakka but no choppy bitz.

@Rithy O rly? For Adrienne, perhaps. Why can she not just crush him like a walking tin can?

@Rithy Whelp...looks like we're screwed now! 

Musha shugyō (武者修行) is a samurai warrior's quest or pilgrimage. The concept is similar to the Chinese Youxia, or Knight Errantry in feudal Europe. A warrior, called a shugyōsha, would wander the land practicing and honing his skills without the protection of his family or school. Possible activities include training with other schools, dueling, performing bodyguard or mercenary work, and searching for a daimyō to serve.

Musha shugyō ("training in warriorship") was inspired by Zen monks, who would engage in similar ascetic wanderings (which they called angya, "travelling on foot") before attaining enlightenment. Kamiizumi Ise-no-Kami Nobutsuna, who founded the Shinkage-ryū school of swordsmanship in the mid-sixteenth century, was a shugyōsha.

I am a huge fan of both Akira Kurosawa and Fedual Japan (well...military and otherwise Japanese history in general), in spite of being a Westerner, and I've always like the idea of a small (or medium) group of warriors in a non-specific Japan (think James Clavell's Shogun) travelling the length of the Land of the Rising Sun.

There may, possibly, be more fantastical elements added in - though probably not as much as 47 Ronin with Keaaaaanu Reeves - but I'd need to see about that.

Questions? Takers?

*Cough*@Laduguer@Hank@Cash78Yougottapost*Cough*

@Rithy I collected (Space) Orks for over a decade, so there's no need to tell me about a skorcha, thank you very much!
