CAN YOU BRING GOD DOWN?

Ind. Kotaro Fuma penned by Xdraon.

|| Been binge watching atomic heart teaser videos and I’ve come to the conclusion that Kotaro’s probs not fazed by much simply because he’s just. seen a lot of weird stuff.

“I mean… I could smash you but it is highly unlikely it will be the way you want.” She’s got her mochi mallet in hand.

[howlingxwinds]

“... What if you smashed a building, instead?”

Nine out of ten people would prefer not to get smashed, if he knows anything, it’s that.

“DOG?!?!?!?”

“Dog??”

“I must say, if I didn’t know any better, I would say you were a forest spirit personified. Your Greenleaf costume is rather impressive, especially for one of your height.”

[howlingxwinds]

The ‘forest spirit’ perks up, looking around for where exactly that voice was coming from until his eyes land on a small patch of green hair.

As he translates what he wants to say in his head, Kotaro does what he can to look smaller (as he's been told that his tall stature was intimidating on it's own).

"Thank you..." It almost doesn't occur to him that he should probably add something else if he were to get any better with holding a conversation, or, better yet, learn this whole political thing. "You... Look nice as well..."

Hopefully that sort of response suffices.

[howlingxwinds]

He doesn’t really want to be here.

Adjusting the wooden mask so that it’d at least pinch his nose a little less, Kotaro sighed. Perhaps he could at least use this opportunity to learn what other, more competent warlords talked about.

If anything, he can only hope he doesn’t attract more controversy than usual for his appearances.

Other facts (optional): Something of an ‘invisible god’, Kurokami always does his work without being seen in his human form. In his celestial beast form, that of a black wolf, he is known to be surprisingly social for his kind. This aspect is a direct contrast from his newfound melancholy nature. There is rumor that Kurokami has heavy ties to Amaterasu.

"If anything I'm at least glad that we're all on the same page as I am on not knowing... What I am."

How long has she been starring Kotaro down? Perhaps hours and the ghost refuses to look away from across the table. It was ominous, chilly … and honestly a little condescending. Aya’s Froslass isn’t quite good company .. but no ghost was good company to begin with. 

“ He’s our friend, Yuki. ” A gentle hush from another voice and Aya walks in carrying a pot for tea. “ Kotaro I hope she hasn’t scared you already. ” Because honestly she can tell he’s a little…shaken with her to begin with.

And just how long has HE been staring?

...Apparently long enough to forget why he was there in the first place. Between the tin. Teacup in his hands and the sentient blanket that's decided it must stare him down, Fuma had enough to bide his time with.

Making a move similiar to combing his hair back, Kotaro shifts his attention to the priestess (at least, that's what he thought she was? He hasn't exactly bothered to learn too much about Illusio), only to turn his attention back towards the trying-to-be-intimidating cloth.

"She has not." Followed by a small tilt rightward of his head. "I feel if she were trying she'd have done so while you were gone."

...Should he be scared?

He’s made his point quite clear, Ujiyasu will not be fighting this war alone.

First, though, Kotaro wants to give his ‘brother’ another layer of protection. Of course, it won’t be nearly as physical as another soldier or a pokemon, but it wouldn’t exactly hurt to have a blessing from true gods.

Dyed with black, the shinobi’s hands draw back from the symbol he’s created. A sun surrounded by stars.

Fuma can only hope this brings their attention more urgently than any normal prayer, even if he’s ultimately left unsure.

The man presses his hands together in prayer.

“Lady Amaterasu, Lord Shiranui, if you can hear me...” He closes his eyes as he speaks. “Lord Hojo requires your help to survive this war. May I ask for your aid in protecting him?” He falls silent, focusing to see if he’d want to ask for anything more. Breathing out, he decides not to.

“Thank you.”

Seperating his hands, Kotaro opens his eyes and stares at the image on the floor.

He can only hope this is enough.

[howlingxwinds]

Well, if nothing else, he got a small smile out of the man.

“…A war.” Ah, so he was right to be worried. He can’t say he’s exactly surprised either, his expression would have only cut the strings of such a lie immediately, anyway.

What does grab his attention, however, is the ‘favor’.

“I can’t promise you that I’ll follow that favor.” He knows his friend won’t be pleased with that answer, but if he did… “You’ll die if I do. Do you really think I’ll let death take you so easily?”

[samuraisuncle-blog]

“ ‘Fraid there’s nothing you can do abou’ that. Hell, there’s nothing I can do ‘bout it either. ” It was a long time coming. He’s lived for many wars escaping Death’s grips with his cunning. However this time HE was on the offensive. Instead of manuevering around danger he’s going straight into it.

Dragnor was never merciful should he be captured or defeated. Even if he was banished in mercy, Ujiyasu had put it in his mind to do the honorable thing and seppuku.

He’s not telling Kotaro that.

“ Again. This is my fight. I don’ want this mess gettin’ any bigger then it already is. ” How to make Kotaro relax? He was okay with dying for Cragspur. “ Doubt I’ll die easily. These scars ain’ for show you know. ”  

[howlingxwinds]

"In the long run, maybe-" and in came a small growl, followed with his own frustrated sigh. "But there's got to be some way you get out of this alive." And he's not taking 'It's hopeless' as an answer.

Kotaro's already looking at the floor as he tries to plan something, to find an ending where he doesn't lose someone else.

He thinks back on the one thing he really could remember of Ujiyasu's current enemy, the fire that destroyed Yaksha.

If death is what they want, death will be what they get.

He faces towards Hojo again.

It seems Ransei wishes for a being of destruction once more.

"Don't give up. If your people would be upset with anyone, it'd be a leader who quits." It seems like he has a plan, but it would be no easy feat getting the information needed from the other. Besides, Ujiyasu needed time to prepare his tactics as well.
