[Closed Event Post - The Third Tengu Meeting]

::Asuka's waiting by the front door of Sakana, waring a skirt suit.::

So, Judai, is it too much to hope if we just don't open the front door, they'll go away?

[i_like_red]

Ah, right.
I think I understand all of that.

Er, still, just give us some more time on the whole subject of Fujiwara's notes just so Asuka and I can discuss it more privately beforehand before we make a decision.

[daeasterncourt]

Of course, Supreme King. As the Champion of the Gentle Dark, we owe you at least that much curtesy.

It's why we have not sent our army against you.

So, we shall arrange another meeting, then?

[i_like_red]

Yeah.

Let's arrange another meeting.

[daeasterncourt]

We bid you farewell then.

Our scribe, Hatomaru will handle arranging our next meeting.

::The car pulls out and drives away, carrying the Shinobird Sovereign.::

[danse_etoile]

... They're a bit intense.

[i_like_red]

They really are.
It's exhausting talking to them.

We... really need to decide what to do with all this.
I don't think we can keep organising endless meetings with them to keep them at bay.

[danse_etoile]

Especially with whatever they perceive Noriko and her... whole. Zaibatsu. Keibatsu. Whatever. Is doing as a 'threat' to Japan.

[i_like_red]

Yeah, they really made it clear that they won't take kindly to anything she does and we'll 100% be caught up in that.

So we need a plan on what to do here.

Also, if there is truth in what they say about our reality being kinda 'broken', we need to figure out what's going on with that too, and what to do with these Fujiwara notes they want.

[danse_etoile]

... I suspect asking Noriko would probably be smartest.

... Though I think it would be less risky if you were the one to ask her.

::Coughs.::

[i_like_red]

Alright. I'll have a talk with her about all this and see what comes from that.

Seems like the best way to go forward for now.

[danse_etoile]

I'll. Try. To glean. Something. From Fujiwara's notes, even if it's just busy work.

I don't want to feel useless in this whole mess.

::Waving her arms around a little frustrated.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai gives her a nod.*

You're the best person to go over the notes and get anything from them.
I wouldn't even know where to begin with those.

[danse_etoile]

... Thanks. It means a lot to hear that. Seriously.

::Cracks a weak smile.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai gives her a smile and places a reassuring hand on her shoulder.*

You're smart, Asuka. You understand things and catch things I don't.
I'd be lost if I didn't have your input.

[danse_etoile]

... I should be more confident in that I guess.

Not everyone needs to be a fighter.

[i_like_red]

Exactly.

Don't sell yourself short. Those strengths are just as important as anything else.

[danse_etoile]

Right now, I'd like to just watch Netflix and chill a little.

::Deflates.::

[i_like_red]

That sounds like a good idea.

I think we deserve that down time!

[danse_etoile]

Yeah. Hit the books in the morning.

::Walking slowly back into Sakana.::
