  • I follow Mnemosyne's graceful gesture with my eyes. I turn towards the elevator to step out of my shoes and leave them there, then come into her living area. I find it difficult to simply sit without her joining me, not to mention the daisho makes s…
  • As I stride into the building, I let my station carry me. A curt nod returned to the doorman as he bows. I give him his due and no more. I don't wish to leave any lingering memories of how Tao acted in this place, a sure fingerprint that something h…
  • I consider a pair of responses to her question about meeting elsewhere, they range from a gentle mocking question if she suggests I shouldn't trust her to a flirting suggestion that we may not keep on task. I discard them both. "I appreciate your i…
  • Mnemosyne's caress is unexpected, but not unwelcome. The comfort is appreciated, and I will thankfulness to her. As I head towards the driver for my return trip, I answer, "Perhaps we should find a different way to work together. This communication…
  • I read Mnemosyne's emotions and feel empathy for her and complimented by her as well. "It could be argued that you are no longer under clear threat. The flower is a hint of someone's involvement, but it is very unclear who." I sigh, reaching up to…
  • I feel Mnemosyne inside my mind, her presence in my synapses, riding my soul. My curiosity betrays my professionalism, and I chalk it up to seeking the best result for my lord as I pull truths from Mnemosyne. * What are you really feeling? * What d…
  • I did not mind the personal contact. I don't offer this to Mnemosyne, but I'm sure she's able to sense that for this afternoon she filled my sense of loneliness. When she shows me the lily, I look it over. It's beautiful, simply constructed and per…
  • Somehow I feel Mnemosyne's voice diminishing, and wonder what she is doing. I trust her to remain professional, but I guard my dark thoughts regarding Jasper's involvement. "What did you find about the culprit knowing about your relationship to Sa…
  • "Mnemosyne," I say once I'm moving towards the exit, "Do we speak in this manner, or should I come to see you?"
  • I bow low to Sarah, "Thank you for welcoming me into your home, Sarah Pike. I appreciate the chance to meet you and hear your truth. I do not judge you as guilty for this theft. I do think you should strongly consider if Osprey is the right place fo…
  • "Mnemosyne," I say in my head while watching Sarah without answering aloud. "You're right. Sarah wasn't involved in this. I have what I need from her, is there anything more you need here?" I am reluctant to reveal Jasper's involvement in this to Mn…
  • Is Sarah telling the truth?
  • Rich, I'm trying to figure out why Jasper would be at the Neon Pagoda. What do you see him doing there? I don't really have a handle on Jasper to say for sure. Maybe he's an engineer (mechanic) who works on some of the club's bots and tech?
  • I do not wish to lie about Mnemosyne's involvement. It does concern me that perhaps I am being used by Mnemosyne is using me right now to further her plot against Sarah Pike, but her feelings seem to speak differently than Sarah's suspicions. I al…
  • What does she intend to do? What does she wish I'd do? (holding last question) I consider Mnemosyne's warning, then answer Sarah, "Mnemosyne. I sought her advice since I knew the two of you had a public feud, expecting she would be happy to tell me…
  • Jasper's Giri: Unclaimed: If you’ve told someone the precise origin of your object, which you have not told others, you have 1 Giri on them. I'd like Tao to take this one. Perhaps they were someone Jasper confided in on a late night at the Neon P…
  • I try to "speak" with Mnemosyne, asking, "May I tell her you are the person who feels she is a patsy?" I hope that I appear to be impassive to Sarah Pike.
  • Probing with Sad (Rolled: 2d6+1. Rolls: 4, 6. Total: 11)
  • Mnemosyne's observation slides through me in interesting ways. I hear the words, then I notice her wrists, how frail her body seems. The note, how could I miss it? Sarah always appears as a floating head when she simulcasts, or sitting in an avatar …
  • My gaze meets Sarah's, then I purposefully swing my eyes down to my right hand as it rests on the end of my katana as she sits in her lacquered scabbard. It is less a direct threat and more of a statement of station and purpose. "Sarah Pike," I an…
  • Yes, it seems she would be quite uncooperative with that information. "Understood." I say, then I ring the buzzer to notify Sarah Pike that I am outside her home.
  • Mnemosyne's truth is a sad truth. Not that I expected otherwise. We are similar in many ways, but clad in different armors. I press the button to ring Sarah Pike's room and summon her to me. As I stand waiting in the hall, my hand drifts to the top …
  • Of course I agree to the guard's request. It is proper, and not a threat at all. Seeing Sarah Pike with Mnemosyne makes me feel envious and a touch sad. I envy the passion they shared, it seems more than the trysts that I've had, something more per…
  • In the virtual world, I listen to Mneomsyne. She's right about Sarah's likely innocence. I don't presume that she is the target, but her offer of help is welcome. I would be a fool to refuse it. I am no fool. I bow my head, "I will allow you to ride…
  • I turn to give the security officer a respectful nod. I am fully confident in my rights to be here, and he is simply doing his job. "I do not. I am the Honorbound for my Daimyo Niiro Taigen, and working for the sake of his Giri. I am here to meet w…
  • TAO'S GIRI QUESTIONS After you introduce your character, you may use the following bullet points to develop Giri relationships with other players if you so choose, or develop relationships of your own. * Mnemosyne knows why Tao enforces Giri, she ha…
  • Mnemosyne's clarification deftly avoids the problematic phrasing from earlier. She's right, of course, and I knew she was right with her first statement, technically, but it gave the impression of questioning my lord, which I cannot abide. I'm glad …
  • When Mneosyne speaks into my right ear, then my left, my body tingles with the intimacy of it. She is a master of temptation. I maintain my on still, hands clenched into fists the only sign of her impact. Her implication that my lord's word is not s…
  • Mneomosyne appears. No, she flows into the mindspace for our communication. Her powers in this realm are awe-inspiring. Intimidating, to be truthful. I notice how little she is wearing. Again she seeks to put me off balance. Again, it has the desire…
  • While I wait for Nem, I pace around the outside of the housing complex. I find a small courtyard garden, and meander there quietly. I'm checking the sight-lines from Sarah's abode, looking for her room, if I have the number. I am loose and ready for…
