Leaving Chief Magistrate Yama-Uno's house, Roka gathers up some Doshin, sets them to work, and then asks around to see if anyone has seen his old friend Yone.

Amazingly, Yone proves easier to track down this time, and Roka finds her staying in a large yurt hut, set up in the middle of a tent city, where Sendai's Merchant District used to be.

Some men outside the Yurt stand guard, but grin ear to ear upon seeing Roka.

"Roka-san!" they say bowing, "What a pleasant surprise!"

Not Aman · « **Reply #1 on:** December 29, 2014, 06:33:54 pm »

Roka smiles.
"I've come to check on Yone, of course. Important buisness matters, obviously." He states with a smirk, as he heads past the guards, and into the Yurt.

Inside, Roka sees Yoni (as attractive as ever) standing next to another woman with her back turned. Something in the back of Roka's mind suddenly nags at him...

"Oh, Roka-san!" Yone says with a smile, "I heard you were back in Sendai, after, well - you know... So, what brings the old 'tom cat' back to the kitchen?"

As Yone speaks, the woman standing next to her turns around and smirks wryly.

No mistaking it.

It's Lilitu the Succubus in human form.

Roka is shocked into silence, something uncommon for the loudmouth.

"Um, well, long time no see, Lilitu." Roka says, surprised by the succubus' return.

"And, uh, Yone, I was gonna talk to you about the future of Sendai, but I think the topic is gonna have to shift into this whole odd meeting." Roka says, after a while, still hopelessly confused.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #4 on:** December 30, 2014, 06:36:05 am »

"What do you mean?" Yone asks, but then a look of comprehension suddenly crosses her face - followed by an almost childish grin.

"I see," she says with mock surprise, "you and Lilitu must have a shared history, haha!"

"Yes, we've shared a few things," Lilitu says with a sultry wink and licking her lips. Thankfully, she does not mention aloud that some of those things include a monkey and a priest...

"Don't be embarrassed Roka," Yone says, sidling up against the Samurai - "perhaps we should all 'catch up' on our 'shared histories'" she adds, her words dripping heavily with innuendo...

Not Aman · « **Reply #5 on:** December 30, 2014, 11:12:35 am »

"That was one of the reasons I visited." He says with a smirk.

But then he musters all of his willpower, and says, "but first, I think we should deal some buisness. I don't have much time, and I'm pretty sure that we'll spend most of that time 'catching up,' as you called it." He says with a wink.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #6 on:** December 30, 2014, 01:40:28 pm »

"Aw, no one should put business before pleasure," Yone purrs, while Lilitu closes in and makes sure Roka can feel her breasts nuzzling against his skin, as he is effectively sandwiched between two very lovely girls...

Not Aman · « **Reply #7 on:** December 30, 2014, 03:55:54 pm »

Roka's mind almost gives in to his lust, but he stays firm for the moment, and with great difficulty, attempts to move out of the sandwich of women.

"Now now, Yone, you know that sometimes it has to wait..." He protests

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #8 on:** December 30, 2014, 05:55:24 pm »

Surprised to see Roka acting so... straitlaced? Yone backs off (though Lilitu still hovers close enough to be a serious distraction).

"Roka dear, what is it that is so important?"

Not Aman · « **Reply #9 on:** December 30, 2014, 06:32:22 pm »

Roka sighs a breath of relief.
"Thank you, Yone." he states, thankful he managed to avoid temptation for the moment.

"Anyways, first, Lilitu, could you shield the sound in this yurt? Probably best to have no eavesdroppers around."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #10 on:** December 31, 2014, 06:13:43 am »

"Oh, this promises to be interesting," Lilitu replies, casting Control Sound for Roka.

Not Aman · « **Reply #11 on:** December 31, 2014, 08:53:01 am »

"somewhat." Roka replies to the Succubus, and then turns back to the yakuza boss.

"First off, the Yoriki and I will be out of town for a bit before the daimyo arrives. Is it possible you could arrange for doubles for us? It would be really bad if we're found missing." Roka asks.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #12 on:** December 31, 2014, 10:42:11 am »

"Uhm, yes - I think that could be arranged," Yone answers somewhat guarded.

"Why?"

Not Aman · « **Reply #13 on:** December 31, 2014, 11:21:43 am »

"Thanks. As for why... Well, officially it's Kurokawa buisness. Mainly just wanting to get us all away for a bit." Roka replies

He then pauses, and then nods.
"Next, is the problem with Yukinawa." Roka says, turning to Lilitu. "You know what he's doing, right?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #14 on:** December 31, 2014, 12:03:52 pm »

"Alright then," Yone says - "But you'll owe me one!" she adds with a wink.

Lilitu meanwhile, scoffs at the mention of Yunikawa - "Yeah, besides Farking Sendai over raw?"

"I don't really know his game; his demons are a different breed than me and my kind, but whatever it is, must be pretty epic."

"I do know that his vampire samurai-ko and that Korean are still hiding here in Sendai. Perhaps waiting for you..."

Not Aman · « **Reply #15 on:** December 31, 2014, 12:57:22 pm »

"I always do, Yone." He replies with a laugh.

And then, when he hears Lilitu's statement, turns almost white.
"They are?!" Roka asks, shocked. "Do you know where?!"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #16 on:** December 31, 2014, 01:39:42 pm »

Lilitu looks a little hesitant to answer for some reason.

"I saw them yesterday, just northwest of Sendai,” she says at length – “four vampire chicks and a Korean man. They were hiding out in an old noble's hunting lodge."

Yone puts a finger to her lip in thought, as Lilitu speaks, and then adds – “the only hunting lodge I know of northwest of the city belongs to Kado Hasekura, first cousin to the Daimyo Shinsen Hasakura.”

“Oh yes,” Lilitu replies, “That’s the one.”

Not Aman · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2014, 01:53:13 pm »

"Lovely. I'd suggest making sure none of your men are around there, Yone." Roka says, angrily. "I was going to ask about that Kado, he was leading the rabble against us. That house will be rubble by the end of today."

"And in return, I suppose I should trade information, then." Roka says, stroking his kickass goatee.

"Yone, remind me, what do you think of the Chinese rule?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #18 on:** December 31, 2014, 02:53:11 pm »

"The Chinese rule?" Yone asks, not understanding were Roka is going with this.

"It's not right," she says anyway, "we are not Chinese."

Not Aman · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2014, 04:07:35 pm »

Roka nods.
"I thought so." Roka states, and then pulls out the tongue.

"I've never used this, but this dagger possesses the ability to create, um, something like a demon. Not really sure what, exactly, but the Ancestors said that this knife was used to revive certain warriors and make them servents of the Chinese." Roka states, and quickly puts the dagger back away.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #20 on:** December 31, 2014, 04:28:00 pm »

"Rokurokubi," Lilitu says, "Not demons; spirits; basically vampires, but all icky and gross. The knife is cool though... totally should let me tickle you with it sometime, hmm?"

"Not now Lilitu," Yone sighs, sensing the gravity of the situation.

"So what does this all mean Roka?" she asks.

Not Aman · « **Reply #21 on:** December 31, 2014, 04:59:23 pm »

"We found, buried along with the bones we recovered, a set of Mons, all with their heads removed." Roka says, pausing.

"Among the mons, we found, the, uh, Daimyo's. When we asked the ancestors, they said that meant that our Daimyo was one, a Rokurokubi. I... don't know exactly what to do with that, yet, but I think I owe it to you that I tell you that."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #22 on:** January 01, 2015, 10:59:05 am »

"Ugh," Yone replies, visibly repulsed by what Roka tells her.

Lilitu meanwhile just shrugs, like it's no big deal.

"The Daimyo?" Yone whispers, "That's awful. It means Sendai is bound to a monster. What can anybody do about it though? He is too powerful and well protected to be 'removed'."

"And he has his loyal followers in every strata of society Roka, you should be very careful who you tell this to."

Not Aman · « **Reply #23 on:** January 01, 2015, 01:20:34 pm »

"I know, Yone. We also found other mons, [insert description of each Mon]. I don't know what you can do with this information, but you're the only person I think I can trust in this." Roka states.

He then turns to Lilitu.
"Do you know anything about the powers of the vampires? I don't want to fight blindly."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #24 on:** January 01, 2015, 04:30:33 pm »

"They're big with the mind control; and being able to hide their true form among mankind; and even from detection spells and such," Lilitu says.

"The rokurokubi can grapple and pin with their entrails," she adds, "and feed only in that form."

"Their main weakness is that you can kill their body when they are away from it, which seriously weakens them."

"Of course, they can always commandeer a new body from their latest victim..."

Not Aman · « **Reply #25 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:05:33 pm »

".... Wait, are all vampires Rokurokubi?" Roka asks, tuning pale.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #26 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:10:31 pm »

"What? No," Lilitu says, then gets a wicked twinkle in her eye.

"Don't worry Roka, that little minx Jenna and the rest of her sisters are regular old vampires - they just suck your blood - and *ahem... other things."

Not Aman · « **Reply #27 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:12:46 pm »

Roka breaths out, thankful. If it turned out that he was farking a corpse head and body.... Best to not even contemplate that.

"And what can the regular vampires do?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #28 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:20:27 pm »

"Oh, they're much more powerful," Jenna smiles. "Same mind control issues, but also Blood Magic and superhuman strength and speed."

Not Aman · « **Reply #29 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:26:41 pm »

"What's blood magic?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #30 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:33:49 pm »

"Basically, they can use their blood to cast spells, but they're somewhat limited, much like a shaman is compared to a wujen."

Not Aman · « **Reply #31 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:36:05 pm »

"And we have to kill four of them...." Roka mutters.

"Do they have a weakness?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #32 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:42:59 pm »

"Sunlight (usually)," Lilitu replies with a shrug.

Not Aman · « **Reply #33 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:44:10 pm »

"Sunlight (usually)," Lilitu replies with a shrug.

"But Jenna and her sisters never had to worry about sunlight, I think." Roka replies

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #34 on:** January 01, 2015, 05:45:25 pm »

"Perks of having an epic Wujen Master I guess," is all Lilitu can offer.

Not Aman · « **Reply #35 on:** January 02, 2015, 07:31:36 am »

Roka nods.
"I suppose that makes sense." He says, with a sigh.

"I need to get back, the group needs to know about this. I'll have to take a rain check on the fun stuff, unfortunately, but I'll be back." He says, ending with a smirk, and then, bows.

"I'll see you later, Yone." He adds, and leaves the yakuza base, and heads to Yuki's house.
