Message: <blockquote data-quote="Brown Jenkin" data-source="post: 1232822" data-attributes="member: 2572">Notes from MirThings are getting complicated again. We resolved the problem of people attacking Mindra for now at least. The Blacksnakes are defeated to the point of making it not worth while tracking down the remainders. Black Lotus is dangerous but has both a price on her head and the Thundergaurd after her too. If she plans on living she will be deep underground or somewhere out of town. Now we just have: Scorpions undermining Toshiro, Red Wizards plotting our assaination, Verick acting strangely, and now Verick's girlfriend writing plays that attempt to discredit me, Volar, and Mindra.The Scorpions, including Verick's girlfriend, may be our next major push. The Red Wizard problem is a long term problem with Nezu our key to it so far away and incomunicado. I have put some effort into putting some positive spin in Toshiro's neighborhood but it doesn't seem to be doing any good. More importantly someone is now disguing themselves to foster this impression. Kaz's gift may be the key to putting down the rumors of Toshiro and myself. His inability to do stuff like this himself required him to get some help so this information should be out thier. With soome reciprocation on my part and dragging him to a few public events it might seem at least that I have moved on. As for the play it is not to difficult to work with. While I don't like the Ide they are doing the hard work for me because they have to defend the Moto who are foreigners but completely trusted by the empire both officially and by decree of Lady Shinjo herself who put them in charge of Unicorn Clan. Having sworn an oath to the Shinjo myself I am now in the same general position as the Moto, and to insult my position publicly would be tanamount to claiming the Moto are untrustworthy. And I would hate to see the result of anyone chalenging the Moto. Volar and Mindra however are going to have a slightly more difficult time, but we each make our own beds. As for my meeting with Yoenki, well I have my reasons. So far she has not acted against me and has been quite civilized. I know who she is involved with but that realy is not my problem, there are others who are tasked with fighting the bloodspeakers. I am not strong enough or prepared to take on the bloodspeakers and turning on her would only make more enimies for me without any real benefits. As long as we remain friendly I have an inside connection to the bloodspeakers should I ever need it in the future either to use against them or for my own purposes. Knowing their reputation however it is probably best that I keep this from everyone else though and keep my reputation cleen so I have a better chance at spreading the word of the Oak Father. Now this time around when I learned that the bloodspeakers were plotting against the Moto I saw an opportunity to make use of this connection. The bloodspeakers are going to act against all parts of the Empire no matter what I do, so why not take this opportunity to direct this action (which will occur anyways) to those who most desrve it. Right now that is the Ide. When someone acts against me it goes on my list and I may act on it soon or long after the fact when they arn't expecting it and I can remain above suspision. The Ide brought this on themselves with the head of thier family acting against us and the kidnapping of me and plans to sell me into slavery by another Ide noble. The Ide will pay eventually for this and now I have my first chance to get some of this revenge. Now once Mindra and Hawk get back we can start making our plans about what to do next.</blockquote>
