I'm actually curious where you draw the inspiration for your art from.

Kintsugi is an actual Japanese art form. I don't remember when I first learned about it but I always loved it's message of making broken things stronger, it really resonates with me personally and Soyokaze was just an exaggerated version of myself so it seemed fitting for him.

Biggest surprise the game threw you?

Biggest "damn, I wish I'd done that differently" moment?

Standard gear: Ceremonial Clothes and a daisho. When in his element, ashigaru armor, a naginata, and a more relaxed form of terror are added into the mix.

It's just how friendly everyone here is. As a first timer I figured it would be an uphill battle since everyone else already knew each other. I kept referring to this game as a high school or a summer camp because in a lot of way it was and I was the new transfer student, I expected to struggle to break into a clique and there was some of that and I considered quitting on day 4 but I am SOOOOOO glad I didn't.

This is a tie. First off I want to change almost all my advantages and disadvantages. I honestly didn't have the time to learn 5E before the game started and i picked everything based on their names and what I knew of them from previous editions. Because of this they ended up not working the way I wanted them to and thus were mostly irrelevant.

Second I would not have skipped 2 events and unmasked 3 times, all of which I did for roleplaying purposes. I am very competitive so losing 5-9 points really really hurt me in the final standings. Truth be told I didn't know coming into the game that it was a competition and I didn't even know what the points really meant till day 9. It was all true to the character though so it's just a lesson learned.

Favorite scene?
Oof, that's a tough one. I am kind of proud of the righting I did in the scene where I gave Bai her mirror and her response was great.

Many of my scenes with you were great, for all your talk of Raizo being shady and all that Soyokaze never got that from you. Weary and disgruntled yes but not nearly as bad as you say he is. :)

My first scene with Koi really stands out as well, she let me vent my characters whole backstory at her and didn't flinch.

Well, I mean, he DID suggest breaking into an Imperial's room to fuck with him, and would probably have tried to murder literally anyone Aimi pointed him at, and almost anyone Soyokaze, Narumi, or Koi pointed him at.

Having friends who are basically nice people and the constraints of the miai kind of limited what he was able to do.

And actually, there's still time for some bastardry on Day 14...

Good game. I enjoyed the dynamic between us. From the early "Wait... are you even my rival? Who even are you?" To the near ending comforting hug.

I feel like i don't need to ask anything because of how much we've talked about this game. :lol:

But...what would Soyokaze have done if another chatacter had shown serious emotional interest in him, like the kind he.showed Bai? Would he have ignored it and thought they were confused to feel that way, or would he actually have considered someone else on that same super angsty teen level?
