Information Allright...Ladies and gentlemen (And yes...the rest of you too)...
It is official. For those of you with us from long ago, we will be completely Restarting the Role Play. This includes but is not limited to: New people in new character roles, and a new story line; again, attempting to not follow the original Fushigi Yuugi too closely.
Enough time has been given for returning characters. We are now on a first come, first served basis for new members. We will be watching your Role playing skill if we have not seen it before. Be advised.

The Rules *Standard Gaia Rules Apply. Don't get us in trouble by overstepping them. So far I don't think we have anyone here who would report anything...but still it's not worth the risk.
* If I think you're not participating, I reserve the right to drop and/or replace you from/in the RolePlay. This includes but is not limited to: Non-Regular Posting (Without any form of reason to be gone). [Example: Nakago may only get on once a day, but, he posts regularly, at least that once a Day, and if not, he gives reason.] This is a warning for EVERYONE!!! BE ADVISED. There will be less leniency this time around.
*Please maintain a level of literacy, be aware of what is going on in the RolePlay (For the most part, we all make mistakes sometimes), and make your posts meaningful. Some are only on about once a day and have to get a lot done in single posts. If there are enough people for real time Role Playing that is fine as well...just please don't go overboard if someone important is missing.
*This thread is to be used almost exclusively for RolePlaying, so if you have something Out Of Character to talk about, please do it Via Private Messages or in one of the designated Out of Character threads..
*No made-up characters until the original cast list is full. Even then, they will only be allowed under careful scrutiny. I repeat: NO made-up characters until the original cast list is full.
*DO NOT let your character die out. If you want to Kill a character, you are going to have to give me REALLY good reason to allow it. Especially if it's a main character who is crucial to the RolePlay!!
(Non Player Characters are exempt from this rule)
This is both In Character and Out Of Character. If you are going to leave us, please inform the management. If you are going to be Missing In Action, PLEASE let us know if you can. A thread will be provided specifically for these notices. Emergencies do happen, and we will understand, but if you can, let the rest of us know you are going to be gone.
*Posts that are one sentence, or ridiculously short will be deleted on sight and characters using such in excess will be considered for removal from this roleplay. Most of us are only here only once in a while...so each post needs to count. If you are not up to roleplaying par, that is allright...for a time...you need to show improvement or else those of us who have been doing this for YEARS...will not want to put up with you...and that may result in you getting dropped.

The History of the RolePlay This will be an ongoing record of the current Role Play. Anyone needing a quick refresh, or to catch up with what is going on should read HERE first. Thank you.
It has been brought to my attention that I should state about where in a timeline we are starting this...Having not read all the "prequel" novels...I do not know the exact time...but basically...we begin at a point past the end of Nakago's Prequel novel (See the Nakago shrine for it). sweatdrop
Jan 31: We are officially Open...you may begin Role Playing and we will start developing a storyline soon!
Feb 01: A small group of soldiers, on order of the Emperor is returning from squelching an uprising, an elite troup of Actors has entered the capitol city, and a theiving bandit is intent on burgaling some treasure...Toss in a couple of won tons...and we have a thickening plot! xd
Feb 02: Please note...I will not be doing daily updates here forever... sweatdrop There will come a time...when I let it go for a while and then do one catch-up-edit, please bear with me...I do have other things in my life too. Let me see...An electric personality is waiting for Cosmic fate...which is fast approaching as a young and ill girl is finding her way through the worlds after opening a strange package from a postman who was slacking in his duties, not noticing a lack of return address....tsk tsk...Some very powerful figures are in close proximity, and a young lad is missing himself...or rather...a close copy, in his travels.
Feb 03: Stunt double! There he is..the other wayward twin, and what is this? WAR on the horizon?
Feb 26: Can diplomacy Avert war? Kutou's envoy has left for Konan...but there is a disturbance in Kutou...a theiving money grubbing...well...not really money grubbing...Anyway...Bandit! Making a mess of things, as is his lot. Under orders of Nakago...Tomo is in hot pursuit... xd (I kill myself sometimes...) and soon should return with the prize where Nakago's other plans can begin to unfold...and this stranger can be deciphered...so to speak. Meanwhile...A group of Seiryuu Seishi...unknown to eachother...are closing in, about to cross paths with eachother...what will happen next...who knows...but something will. Finally...our lost and sickly preistess finds confort of a kind in the other wayward bandit...one not making trouble in Kutou. Though troouble awaits them on the horizon...as well.
Far away...in the peaceful land of Konan...most things are going on as they have been...BUT...Suzaku warriors are stirring and things will likely start changing...forever.
Apr 5: New Update to come soon.
Apr 16: Much of the same sadly...we have been in a lull...and not moved as much as we should have. crying
May 6th The night that will never end! Wow...This makes us all look bad as far as being roleplayers in one sense...and in another...If we are having fun doing it...it works....So...Much of the same...Next update will be after a major event...When we reach the next day!!!
May 18th The night that will never end! Still has not ended...so...Upon my return from wisdom teeth removal...I will force everyone to be in the next day (If we have not made it there already)...no questions or anything else...we need to get/keep things moving. sweatdrop
Small update...Chichiri has Found a stray preistess, Nakago has a new plaything....and...I need to go back and read through everyone elses posts to get the rest up to speed. sweatdrop
Almost June: Allright...Whether you like it or not...We are moving to day two...it took too long to get here...and we need to get things moving...so...anything that needs to be resolved, discuss with nvolved partied and someone post in past tense, lett us start another day...where more MUST happen.
Almost July gonk I have been slacking... sweatdrop Nakago, Tomo and a recently beaten severly Tasuki, are continuing towards a village, where a storn is brewing. Slavers have come to take Yui away and both Kouji and Soi are the only things keeping them from it...though the situation is tense, and a bit awkward. The Boshi's are headed, magically, for the same village to find Soi who they had run into on the way...Soon there will be a great congregation of Seishi and a preistes...much can happen then...
Almost October gonk gonk I have been slacking...again... sweatdrop sweatdrop Actually..this time I gave fair warning that I was not going to be able to keep things up as much...oh well.
Mass convergence! Everyone in one spot! Let the insanity ensue! (That will have to do for now)
October 24 gonk gonk gonk That does it...i am a grade A slacker. Anyways...Where did I/We leave off... A persistant Kouji will not stop pestering Nakago, and Yui has has the seed of destiny planted in her mind, though she denies it for now. Suzaku Seishi are finally meeting while the Seiryuu Caravan makes its way to a small village. However, there are more Seiryuu in the area, which could make things very interesting on the few Suzaku and their priestess lingering in "unfriendly territory"
Almost Decmber gonk gonk gonk Real life...it burns...About the same...little major motion...Mayday! mayday!
Almost Febuary So the Hiatus is basically official...If enough people come back and want to continue...post int he Out of Character thread consistently enough and we can/will resume.

It was another cold day in the ever crumbling land of Kutou, an uprising here...threats of civil war there...poverty everywhere but at the palace itsself. And again the emperor had ordered that another uprising be put down.
These missions were innane. Nakago did not need the compliment of soldiers that were "so honored" to fight with him. The people they were dealing with would need a thousand men to even get near him. Seiryuu's power granted him made sure of that...
Yet there they were...slaughtering another group that wanted to overthrow the monarchy. He sat on his horse, having given the neccessary orders. He would not even have to, nor would he even lift a finger this time.
In fact, as soon as he was sure they would be finished, he turned and began to leave. His horse trotting off towards the palace. The clouds overhead threatened rain, but did not...the wind blew his cape around his sides, and the only thing colder was his icy blue gaze as he neared the palace another time.

"Ryo? Are you almost ready?"
A well manicured hand set down a small paint brush whose short, thin bristles were coated in a thick mixture of indigo face paint. That same hand lifted an elaborate, ornamental crown and slowly set it in place on a head of straight black hair.
Tomo pulled his ponytail through the crown, checked his appearance one more time in the mirror, and stood. He grabbed a cloak and threw it over his shoulders. "Let us go," he said with authority.
Leaving the warmth of his tent, he was joined by two less elaborately painted actors.
Their caravan had stopped just outside the capital city of Kutou. It was appropriate to seek out the city leader and ask permission before entering. It was but a formality, very few would deny a famous traveling theatre troupe like his. They performed at no cost for anybody who would watch, and put on suprisingly elaborate operas. It was one of the few good things left in Kutou.
It had been some time since the caravan troupe had been to the capital. Tomo savoured the memories of previous encounters he had in the palace, and was very much looking forward to returning.
Tomo let his fellow actors explain themselves to the city guards. Seeing the strange clothes and hearing the prestigous names, the guards let them through.
"Ryo Chuuin-dono," one guard said as the actors passed, "my wife is a fan of yours!"
Tomo gave an ambivalent smile, "Then I hope to see her in the audience soon."
They continued toward the palace, all the while hearing the excited whispers of onlookers.

The soldiers caught up and fell in to formation behind him as they entered the city itsself, the buildings and city walls sheilded the wind slightly, but his cape continued to flow around his form. His eyes took in the desolation of the ever crumbling populace. A small child ran out and pointed at the soldiers and yelled something about wanting to grow up like them, his naive innocence quite apparent. But there was a whisper of something else passing through the crowds. A theatre troup, in the capitol city...that was all that had reached the side of the city they had entered from.
The decadent palace grew larger and stood out more and more the closer they got. There would come a day, when passing through the palace gates would be a pleasure...but that day was not today. Nothing even needed to be said...as soon as Nakago came into view, the orders were given and the gates opened. The complete diamateric differences even more apparent between the people and the few elite.
"Return to your posts"
The guards rode on ahead through the gates, to the stables for the horses and then to their posts, presumably anyway, but Nakago paused and looked out over the city from just in front of the gates.

At the palace gates, Tomo and his party were stopped. It would be much more difficult to pass here than at the city gates. This time, Tomo did what little talking needed to be done.
Out of the folds of his clothes, he produced a small scroll. The guards read through the scroll, eyes widening at the large imperial seal at the bottom. They handed it back with a "Thank you, Lord Tomo" and let them pass.
His fellow actors were impressed. They could drop their names and get free drinks at a tavern, but their own Ryo could drop his name and get into the palace.
"I cannot garuntee an audience with the Emperor," he assured them briskly, "But as a seishi, I may enter the palace at my choosing."
And so they entered the palace, and Tomo led them in the direction of the throne room.

Genrou knew it was a bad idea, he'd always known it was a bad idea but how could he resist? Sure Kouji had been drunk when he'd made the bet but Genrou wasn't one to lose even a drunken bet.
The red head, leader of the Mt. Leikaku bandits, walked through Kutou streets trying to look inconspicious. He gave a fanged grin at the thought of the theft he would soon commit. It had been a long journey certainly but Kouji would be eating his words soon enough. Genrou was the bandit leader, no challenge was too great for him! 'I'll be able to steal something from the palace no problem,' he thought to himself confidently giving a snigger.
He paused wondering where Kouji had gotten to this time. His fellow bandit was meant to be tagging along as a witness to make sure Genrou didn't take something and pretend it was from the palace but he'd wandered off yet again.

That clentched it. An acting troup here, and Seiryuu energy entering the palace. Only Tomo would be so bold.
He sighed and turned the horse back towards the palace, the gates closing slowly behind him...the swallow becoming lost as the splendor put in the the palace became the only thing surrounding him. He rode the horse in and leapt off leaving the horse to be tended by the stable hands, removing his helmet and pulling the cloth covering from over his mouth. The wind now fluttered the blonde locks about as well as his cape, but he did not bother with either as he paced towards the palace. Palace hands and guards both stepped out of the way as he came. There were very few who would risk staying in his path, especially without good reason.
His target was the throne room first, though he anticipated that he would end up heading to the Emperor's harem to actually find him. He had mentioned breifly a reference to Konan and some upcoming endevours, which had been why they had been sent oput as much as they had in the past weeks...squelching enough uprisings that they could focus on "other things," and that had his curiosity perked...as well as Tomo's return to the palace. It may be simply the acting troup...but somehow he anticipated alterior motives.

"What are you so happy about?"
Tomo dropped the obvious smirk from his face, "Nothing you need concern yourself with Ken-zhi."
The actor shrugged at Tomo's remark.
They approached the throne room with slow confidence. It was important to appear as though they had every reason to be there, and to show no fear to the guards. As actors, they had no problem pretending not to be nervous. In fact, Tomo was the only one unconcerned about the armed guards. But then, he was the only one among them who had nothing to fear.
As they reached the doors, the guards eyed the trio with cool suspicion. Tomo once again held out the scroll with the imperial seal, and waited for their response.

Numerous amounts of sneezes were heard throughout the hallways as Yui, once again fell into one of her sneezing fits. It was this annoying bad cold she had caught that she had no other choice but to stay home from school today. Miaka sounded worried over the phone when Yui had called to let her friend know not to wait up but that was Miaka for you when it came to her friend's being sick, the world's number one worry wart. It had taken Yui several minutes for her to convince Miaka that she was alright and not to come by until after school let out. Although Yui did warn Miaka that she did risk the chance of catching the cold as well. It was a good thing that Miaka didn't know that both of Yui's parents were out working so Yui was left home alone, sick in bed. Yui made sure to leave that little detail out. Their classmates were probably surprised that their number one student was a no show and begin to question about her whereabouts but Miaka would be the one to fill them in and to bring Yui any of the assignments she missed for today.
Of all the days of the year to get sick, it had to be during exam preparation time. Oh it was going to be tougher than usual to study, especially when she had to stop every so often to blow her nose or reach for a tissue in which there was already a basket full of wadded up tissues resting next to her bed. Unfortunately, there was no real cure for the common cold, just a bunch of rest until her immune system cleans the bacteria out itself. Perhaps a quick shower was all that she needed, it may be the one thing to sooth her aching muscles and make her body feel less icky. Pushing her heaps of study books aside, Yui slowly sat up and swiftly slipped her bare feet in her house shoes before making her way towards the bathroom. Yes....a shower did sound nice at the moment but her steps were soon pulled to a halt as she heard the doorbell ring.
"JUST ONE MOMENT!" Yui called out as she than quickly turned to face one of the hallway mirrors to fix up her image a bit. Oh did she look quite the mess. Her usual well combed hair was a little ruffled out and a the neat appearance she usually wore was nonexistant, especially since she was still in her pajamas which consisted of light pink cotten flanel pants covered with sheep and a pink flanel long sleeve shirt to match it. Her cheeks were quick to flush at her already flushed face at the thought of someone other than Miaka or her parents seeing her dressed like this. Still, she couldn't take too long trying to make herself look semi decent, it would be rude to make whoever was at the door wait long. 'There...I suppose this will just have to do.' Yui thought to herself as she slightly fixed up her morning hair and smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothings before scurrying to answer the door.
Instinctly, Yui peeked through the door peep hole before unlocking the top bolt after only seeing it was the mailman delivering her a package for either herself or her parents. "Oh, sorry about the wait." Yui apologetically spoke as she flashed the mailman a rather warm smile once the door was finally open before once again, she fell into a fit of sneezes. Oh her head was begining to throb from all of these sneezes but she was thoughtful enough to turn her head to the side and sneeze. She didn't want to very well get the post man sick as well.
