In the Emperor's name we shall not falter! (A warhammer 40k roleplay. Featuring space marines!)

So.

[F/M] Original or Canon IM RP! Ideas Within!

What do you think of this idea:

An unorthodox sorcerer delves into the dark arts. Shunned by his peers and exiled into a far away land, he tries to uncover the mysteries of magic by whatever means. One of the lores he is investigating is Demonology. He intends to bind a demon and enslave it to his will. Gathering his courage and making as many wards as possible, he draws a summoning circle one night and calls forth a succubus. However, the wards fail and a short battle occurs where it is found that they are evenly matched. Both decide that combat is pointless, but the adrenaline has stoked a certain fire within them... and so a battle of a different sort begins.

I'll play as the sorcerer.

When two of their heavy cruisers - Atago and Kinugasa if I recall correctly - were sunk near Palawan Island, Admiral Ozawa called it the "Kinugasa Incident."

I worded that wrong. But Japan has this weird thing of fighting but not calling it a war. They like to use the term "incident" instead. The "declaration" that followed Pearl Harbor wasn't a declaration of war either, just a statement that diplomacy with the US was now impossible and that hostilities were inevitable. They're a roundabout people like that.

Hello, Rokoku. My name is Japanija.

My latest post references Japan's obsession with "making peace" even during times of war. Talking about peace, pretending there is peace. Oh there's a war in China but it's not really a war, get me? It's not 2nd Sino-Japanese War but China Incident, okay?

Well. Looks like the storm isn't approaching, rather it's already arrived, both literally and figuratively. War was certain prospect, especially if Russia was announcing it.

And yet, despite the grim news, Japan offered her a smile. One should always be polite. A hand extended in offering or balled up in a fist, after all, remained a hand. She stood up from the couch she'd been making herself comfortable in, holding up a tea plate with a cup of Darjeeling on it. Her servant Korea moved to stand as well but a subtle gesture from her master - a movement of the elbow - stopped her from doing so. This kaiken was for sovereigns, not territories.

"Rokoku," Japan greeted. If the so-called Third Rome insisted on calling everyone by Slavic nomenclature then she would address her in Japanese. "What dire tidings you bring. In fact, this whole day has been nothing but dire tidings. War this, war that. Serbia hinted about war, Germany came in here earlier and threatened war - and now you have come to confirm it. This is truly a regrettable situation." She furrowed her brows in a vague expression, and shook her head lightly as if in admonishment. "Is peace no longer an option? So many of us great powers are at each other's throats these days. Perhaps if we would just get together and solve these various issues through mutual understanding without resorting to violence..."

And what did Japan hope to gain with such nebulous words? Little. Some information would be nice, but Britain had already filled her in on the Balkan situation before Russia arrived. Really, Japan just wanted annoy her greatest rival. Ah, the Russo-Japanese War - so many good memories.

Ahhh, the latest post is some good writing.

Russia's gonna be dropping London by to make everyone uncomfortable soon

@Nerevarine

Ah hell. The memories of the Russo-Japanese war are still very fresh. This is gonna be good.

And so the term "Hakko Ichiu" makes its first appearance in this RP. Kind of a short post, but for the usage of that term alone I'm happy with it.

Britain's Home

Such energy, such vitriol, hatred, jealousy and anger - so much shared history and feuds going back centuries. The great European powers Britain and Germany were actually threatening each other in such an open manner. Both Japan and the silent Korea were taken back. Japan never traveled to Europe often and was always a little clueless about the affairs of this part of the world but was the situation really this bad? Such fire! The honesty and force in everyone's words shook the air and reached her guts. There would have been none of this in the East, where threats were veiled in politeness and certain differences in which one prepared the tea and the arrangement of the seating. Westerners - there was a reason she and China called them "barbarians" centuries ago. Westerners were so... unrestrained.

There was not even a chance for Japan to join in and reply while Britain and Germany yelled at each other. Not that she really wanted to. But America's talk of war and switching to a war economy rang alarm bells in her head.

"If conflict is to come," Japan began with her colorful accent, turning towards Britain. "Then you will have my support as is guaranteed by our alliance. Although I am glad that Germany is, as usual, a very healthy girl, I believe her bellicose nature is causing her to make some rather unwise decisions that thus far have lead to unfortunate tensions between us, and fomented an atmosphere like a slowly approaching storm. Under current conditions, I'd say that the future would be... a tad regrettable." Her eyes narrowed as she said this. Japan has always viewed China as hers and with her growing power had recently been influencing the country. China, Old Han - the Celestial Empire - was supposed to be the third roof to be added to Hakko Ichiu. And Japan would not forgive threats to her rightful dominion over the Middle Kingdom, especially not something so bold as helping to modernize its armed forces. But she wouldn't say this out loud.
