[QUOTE="nekokaburi, post: 667706, member: 9965"] Nekokaburi rises from his fighting stance, and bows low to Rathan, his eyes flicking to watch Shou Ren at the lowest point of his bow. "Greetings, Rathan-sama. I would be honoured if you would adjudicate this match. While I cannot speak for the Shou Ren, I am sure any delay in your decisions is a reflection of the gravity with which you make your judgements, and is acceptable to me." "We have agreed upon a duel in the style of the old Masters: a five flag, traditional match of style and strategy." Nekokaburi's hand moves behind his head to the tsuba of his sword briefly, and as it comes away he unfurls a small scroll, with kanji written in elegant brushwork. "Should my opponent agree, you will find this of interest. It is a scroll I have composed containing five forms of the Blackfist Style - the first of such scrolls which I plan to use in this match." The scroll reads: 1: The claw prances above the plain; wards off the chi of the feline! 2: The scorpion annihilates the pillars; avoids the speed of the wood! 3: The crouching spider storms the sea; quells the roar of the cave! 4: The topaz wolf lies within the foothills; grasps the quickening of the grass and brilliantly dodges the speed of the tides! 5: The dragon appears below the waterfall; removes the terror of the isle! OoC: Dirty Strike means I move first until it's used, yes? [/QUOTE]
