Not quite pondering - i've picked and thought them through, only thing that's left is to write it up, which shouldn't take long. How's your re-work going?


It goes. I should be able to start tonight/tomorrow.
@Innue

Still up for the fight against me?


Yes, I thought you were still pondering your alternative character. :)
@Innue, Thanks I apreciate that a lot actually.


Just FYI it is your post in our chain. :D
[Clarification from Yosh -
[12:00:30 AM] Innue: Are you targeting the upper set or lower set first with that counter?
[12:03:01 AM] Yosh: Both. 1 lower (Akine's right) 1 upper (Akine's left).]

Chiyoko was not a fool. The tying of the line gave away Akine's actions. Despite the close distance with which Akine had let them approach, the counter was simple - alter the profile of the weapon near impact to a more vertical position to prevent him from threading ring like a needle and likely even hitting the rings. By doing so, Chiyoko would not be forced to reveal the true extent with which she could control the Eien no Sai's rings, as a profile alteration was a simple action for nearly any shinobi adept at utilizing their chakra through weapons to preform. In the case of the Eien no Sai, it was even easier for her given the threads of the Yuganori clan. The rings that could would continue towards Akine, the two closest initially opting to close in on his new position with their arc, rather than the move behind him like originally intended, aimed for his wrists. The other two would cross in an arc in front of him (at a point that was behind his initial position) before creating a new wide arc from the cross point in a move similar to the original - a repeat attempt to get behind him, but rising slightly to move upwards to just below waist height on their new path. However, these rings had a much shorter distance for Akine to react to, providing they were not disrupted by an additional counter.

She could see his usage of some form of energy given the ability of her clan. However, she could not determine what it was other than the fact it was in the line that he had thrown to catch the rings. Of course, Chiyoko was not going to let up on an opponent and released four more rings of the Eien no Sai. The paths on these rings were unique. Two would drop quickly to the ground before they would move on an arc from near the ground to an upward trajectory towards Akine, intended initially to be in an arc to get around behind him. The other two went to different directions, as well as heights, to form a quick square in front of her with the lines created by the paths of these four rings before the two side rings would adjust to an original ankle height along the grass in an even wider arc than the initial set of rings.

Beginning to move forward slightly, with a slow initial walk, Chiyoko began to form a quick string of signs with her left hand in an attempt to augment the attack she was initiating. Given the response he had to her initial attack, Chiyoko began to form the beginnings of a strategy.

Hitsujiki remained close to Chiyoko, Tokiko still riding upon the sheep.

The shiki would now be finding its stoping point within the forest away from Akine, where Chiyoko could make use of it as assurance to the safety of her group.

Chiyoko responded to the blade with one of her own, still from a kneeling position - flinging one of her tanto to intercept the weapon.

"That will not happen," Chiyoko responded confidently, rising and wasting no time in providing a response to Akine's attack. One of Chiyoko's Shiki revealed itself, immediately bolting off in a direction away Akine towards the trees. Chiyoko's priority was in protecting Tokiko and Hitsujiki from the madman. The other response was releasing four of the rings on her staff. Two moved in a wide arc around Akine, while the remaining two would be launched higher than the first two and on a shallower arc towards him, the distance between the two sets of arc rings being thirty feet and ten feet respectively. The first two also ran much lower to the ground, roughly at Akine's kneecaps in height, while the other two were launched so they would arc inwards (and downwards) from above him. The power of the Eien no Sai was the lines created by the Yuganori clan, which gave her incredible control over the path of the rings, which may prove surprising to her opponent.

Hitsujiki was also not one to sit on the sidelines. Taking a defensive stance and gathering chakra himself, the sheep kept close guard on Chiyoko. At this point, there was still significant distance between the two combatants, making the battle one of ranged skill for the time. Chiyoko had no idea what abilities Akine had and had to play the game carefully. For now, she would test Akine's skills in hopes to force him to reveal the nature of his power - her puppets would remain as cards to play later. It was risky to bring them in without some sort of idea as to what her opponent could do.
Some peeps need to postin'.
The soft clang of metal could be heard resounding through the clearing as Chiyoko gracefully stepped into the center of the clearing. The ancient ring staff was a symbol of her status as head of her clan. It was a fitting weapon for a clan of spiritualists. Replication of the weapon had been attempted for many years, but the skills of a lost clan that were once their allies had made such a feat impossible. The young child that Chiyoko now brought with her on her journey was a member of that lost clan and theoretically, he may be able to manifest the ability to replicate the Eien no Sai. Hitsujiki was also with her. The steadfast sheep companion walked along the ground beside her with Tokiko on his back. The ram had been with her since she was a young child. Chiyoko had bound a surprisingly powerful spirit to the sheep which gave it exceptional longevity as well as access to a unique set of skills.

Chiyoko did not look like much of a threat, mostly due to her constant facial expression that gave her a look as if she were peering into a vast distance - perpetually giving her a distracted look. It was common for members of her clan, given the nature of their abilities and their fascination with the world of spirits. It gave her unique insight into both the mortal world and the afterlife and was the source of much of her power. However, it also gave her a restraint that many thought worth exploiting, but Chiyoko knew when this restraint needed to be lifted for the greater good. People who disrespect the wishes of the spirits were those that often received her most severe admonishments. She, and the Council, had no qualms about issuing judgments upon those that violated the tenets of their system of belief.

Kneeling, Chiyoko brought her attention to the mortal world, mostly at a bleat from Hitsujiki and the laughter of Tokiko, the young four year old boy having taken notice in a small flower that had laid claim to its home in the clearing. It was a solitary flower, no companion to it within the clearing. Chiyoko took a moment to appreciate its individuality. Tokiko had begun to clamber off the sheep's back to pick the pale blue flower, but Chiyoko swung her staff out to be placed between the child and the flower, giving him a look that stopped him in his tracks.

"Appreciate Tokiko, but do not remove it from its home," she spoke softly, in a tone that still expressed the importance that the young boy leave the flower for others to appreciate. "We must respect the choice the flower has made." She nodded in finality to the statement, pulling her staff back, but still keeping a close eye on the child to ensure he contained his impulses to take it. Hitsujiki bleated again, in agreement with Chiyoko and encouraging Tokiko to climb up once again onto his back.
Will not be using Transcendent Genbu in this battle.
So, who is fighting who?


Yosh is fighting Lily, Shiden, and myself. I am judging the first two fights.
