Hajime really didn't have much a head for this spiritual stuff, but thought he'd give it a shot. Sitting next to Taemon, he did his level best, but the deeper meanings eluded him. He was, however, able to point out an interesting constellation to Taemon. Love under the stars: Void/Theology Tn 1, Voi...

Can we get an update on which all of the NPCs are spoken for, more or less, by those who are more plugged in to the matches than me? My intention is to make sure I don't list as a choice an NPC that I shouldn't.

He bowed simply and fluidly to the Seppun, "I intend to, Seppun...

Updated my opportunity spends to convey a message to Taemon instead.

A small shrug. "Yojimbo duties most likely. Probably one of the minor Phoenix courts." he admitted. "Which is not the worst fate, it is comforting to have one's friends and family within easy travel." "Hai, that is so. I think I would miss father and my siblings. Mother, too, though she can be tryi...
