Kakita Kaiten is Crane, not Lion.

And the separate threads idea sounds good to me. I'd add to that list Black Omega and Xeriar.

"There is much wisdom in your suggestions, Yue-san, Akahita-san, but we must remember that any experimental treatments may well be dangerous, even lethal. It would not do to subject the heirs to the risk of an untested cure. For that reason we are going to need test-subjects, strong men and women of noble stature under various degrees of taint. It should not be too difficult to find volunteers. What Samurai would not sacrifice himself for such a great cause, when with the risk of death comes the hope of salvation?
The Lion Clan will be able to contribute a handful of tainted samurai, who have served on the Wall with the Crab. I believe most other clans should be able to gather quite a few as well, surely a sufficient number for our purposes. In preparation for the experiments we should try to explore all available options theoretically. I have a couple of ideas that might be worthwhile..." [ooc: Hey, he's the scholar, not I. I'm just a commoner ooc\]

Creamsteak; the Lion clan will gather a dozen tainted individuals from our ranks and start experimenting to find a cure for the taint. This work is being undertaken in secrecy and even the test-subjects themselves won't know the reason for their orders until they have been brought to our research facilities. Not even then will they know that some of the imperial heirs might be tainted, if that became publicly known it might demoralise the Empire.

Thanx, and good opinions... now to hunt people down... not tonight though...

Ok. If you would like to tell me more specifically what kind of research, that will help. Also, if your actually sacrificing a PL of troups, tell me. Through email would probably be the better bet.

OOC - Seperate threads for the contests sounds good. - OOC

As she sees two people talking with each other, Shiba Tsukune joins them.
"Greetings, Dragon-san and Unicorn-san. May I join your discussion? I am Shiba Tsukune. Am I correct in that you are Shono-san and ... Samanosuke-san? I am pleased to meet you. Samanosuke-san, may I ask you a few questions? It has been some time since we had contact with the Dragon, and strange rumours were spreading."

If Samanosuke is not opposed to answer these questions, here they are:
"Our last messenger brought rumours of a gaijin who has tried to become the clan daimyo. I hope that Hoshi-sama is well? If this rumour is true, what happened to this gaijin? I believe I heard the name Benjarmon in regard to this gaijin?"

"When you return to the Dragon lands after the contest, would you send Hoshi-sama my greetings and my apologies for the actions of our last messenger? I know that this is not a task for a honorable samurai as you are, but the Phoenix are not as well received by the Clan Daimyo as they used to be. I believe that, in asking you, it is just as if I talk to the Clan Daimyo himself."


At the Unicorn tent, Isawa Akahita replies to Kitsu Juri:
"Juri-san, I don't think that anyone implied that untested cures should be used on the heirs. Doing so would be foolish. I am certain that there are a few tainted individuals in the Phoenix lands, living as hermits to avoid spreading the taint, that are willing to undergo a test with the cures."

OOC - The Phoenix contact the known tainted hermits about this, and also tries to find other tainted individuals. When it seems that we have a relatively good cure, it will be tested on those. If this results in casualities, i would be easiest to assume that this drops the PL of some of my provinces.

There's really not enough tainted individuals in the Lion territories to make a power point. I don't think 0,5% of our population, or even our samurai, are tainted. So, I'm not really sacrificing anything. The temporary spending, representing people being away from military duty, is 5 Pls. Specifically, we are working together with the Phoenix, Crane, Unicorn and others to find a cure for the taint, using the theories devised by us in the thread.

 

[Festy_Dog]

The Crane will also get anyone who is known to be tainted and recruit volunteers to assist in finding a cure for taint, the reason why will not be disclosed.

OOC: I'll organise PL values and specific research details next turn.

Yes... I am Samanosuke... but I'll have to hear your questions before I can answer them...

If Samanosuke is not opposed to answer these questions, here they are:
"Our last messenger brought rumours of a gaijin who has tried to become the clan daimyo. I hope that Hoshi-sama is well? If this rumour is true, what happened to this gaijin? I believe I heard the name Benjarmon in regard to this gaijin?"

Hoshi-sama is ill, with grief. His mind is drawing strange pictures about what he should do, and he is ill most of his days. The gaijin still lives in our mountains, hidden away, waiting to come out... or so we think. Benjarmon... well that might be right...

"When you return to the Dragon lands after the contest, would you send Hoshi-sama my greetings and my apologies for the actions of our last messenger? I know that this is not a task for a honorable samurai as you are, but the Phoenix are not as well received by the Clan Daimyo as they used to be. I believe that, in asking you, it is just as if I talk to the Clan Daimyo himself."

I will send a message to Hoshi-sama that you wish to speak to him about something... but for now we must attend to the duels before I could ever have audience with him...
