Kurama

Image
Much to my surprise, he was very unhappy when I invited him to take a nap with me.  He talks endlessly about his sleepless nights rerolling or whatever else he does outside the confines of 'RL', so I thought a nap would do him good.  And this was his response. I wonder what would happen if I kept asking him to take naps.  Do points actually decrease or do they just show their disappointment and displeasure? I originally thought Kurama might be a god after my own heart.  He is erudite and he cares deeply about children, but his arrogance is difficult to to take.  My first real disillusionment came when, for all of his love for children, he would not climb down off his high horse to let them throw beans at him.  In contrast, Kai proved to be a good sport about it, even when they continued to shout: 'Oni out!  Good fortune in!'  That was thr first time I saw Kai without his masque, after a bean hit him in the eye! Dating Kurama, the one e...

Marriage to Ikaruga

Image
I need to go back to my fate where I am married to Ikaruga.  I left him to marry Kai but I documented all the dialogues you share with him after marriage. It is curious to discover I really am not a 'player' in Azuma.  I am fiercely loyal to Kai and it diminishes the fun frankly!  In 'IRL', I never felt that monogamy came naturally to me, but in a world where one is encouraged to create multiple marriages, I keep going back to Kai.  He is not perfect by any means, but there is no one who could be more completely invested in our life together.  And he is more vulnerable in truth than any of the others while trying so hard to be better. Ikaruga is a very sweet husband but his first loyalty is to his job even if he gives ups some opportunities to stay with you.  I have to admit I do not share his sort of passion for food in any world.  I am a very discriminating eater.  I do not eat 'fast food' and never will, and I like only dishes made from fresh i...

Isabel, Daughter of Kai

Image
This is my first child with Kai in a new path created at the Orb.  I thought she would be no different from the son we had who was bright and energetic in a different path but she is a little different.   It is interesting to see how Kai bonds with her instantly.  When I chose the quiet studious daughter, he was unsettled by her and sad that she spent more time with Kurama than with him.   I recently placed Kotaro in my Party with Kai and his constant positive affirmations in battle as well as obvious affection for him warms the heart. It was Year 7 and she was born on 30 Autumn.   The year became Year 12. Every one is at least at Level 12 and my four villages are at Level 10. I took Sakaki to the caves today and he disliked the experience.  I hsve no idea why. I saw that Kai was at home at noon. He and Isabel both were having lunch.  He did n...

Equipment and Appearance, Kai unmasked

Image
If you want to see Kai regularly without his Masque or simply be able to spend time with him when he is not wearing it, go to the Gear Menu and in the headgear entry, remove whatever is in the smaller slot on the left and leave it empty. In like fashion, should you want to represent yourself visually as one who has been given a Crown of godhood by Mihoshi Habaki herself, place the Celestial Crown in that smaller slot on the left.

Lantern Festival

Image
(Random remark by Kurama when you have invited some one else.) Woolby will announce any festival three days prior to it and suggest you invite some one to attend with you. After this announcement, the first time you speak to any one eligible by virtue of friendship level as well as being eligible for marriage, that individial will suggest you attend together. Declining the invitation will have no negative effects.  You then will be able to make the invitation each time you inreract with the individual until you make a date with some one else. You will be able to decide whom to invite as late as the day of the festival itself.  After that, simply go ro the Autumn God Shrine on 20 Autumn at 7.00 p.m. to find your date in a yukata to the left of the steps leading to the door of the Shrine. I have attended this Festival with a number of individuals now. For some, it is a very personal and emotional experience as they connect with memories of the beloved dead.  For...

Mauro in Courtship and Marriage

Image
Little did he know I had a different itinerary for him! I told myself I would court and marry every one.  In my current game, I used the Orb to leave poor Ikaruga with a son and return to Azuma single.   I have to confess I did it so I could marry Kai, but why not do as much as possible here before I do?  Consequently, as I completed the Pure Azuma Quests one by one, and raised every one to Level 12 for their cutouts, I went through Kai's Intimacy Events again, then planted the White Plum Sapling.  I also waited to experience my birthday single, thereby receiving gifts from every one. Two thoughts paused my path to wedded bliss with Kai: The Pescapedia was incomplete. Kai's birthday is 20 Autumn.  In the game where we married and had two children, the second was born on his birthday.  It really has no effect on HIS birthday, but I would hate to share my birthday with somw one close to me, so I begsn to feel it would ...

Personal Histories of Profile Characters

I always try to experience as much dialogue as possible to find out everything I can.  It was only at Level 12 on his birthday that Kotaro told me this: It is of absolutely no benefit but it makes Azuma more of a real world somehow.
