Mission 6: In search of a Shogun (Memo, Yoshina)

[memo]

Memo walked out of the ship. Feeling solid, non-moving ground made him happy. He was used to swimming in his little boat, but their ship was something bigger. Looking around himself, he couldn't see any of his companions. Hmm... They probably went on to tour the island. I guess I'll go too. he thought. He walked deeper into the island.

He soon found himself inside a town. It seemed busy. There seemed to be some kind of festival on. Memo picked up a mask from a nearby stand when nobody was looking, and put it on. The mask was bright yellow with blue fangs sticking out. He put it on, as other people also seemed to wear those kinds of masks. Memo took a tour of the town, when he noticed something like a medium sized tower. When he walked there, he saw a bunch of people, and a really muscular guy in the front of the line. The man picked up a huge hammer from the ground beside him, and whacked something beside the tower. There was a loud cling and a metal ball flew up. Looking up, Memo noticed a bell at the top. The ball vlew about 3/4 of the way, before falling. The muscular man walked away angrily, and others in line behind him quickly decided not to bother and walked away. Memo decided to try. He looked at the hammer and walked on. He pulled his hand up, which was equipped in the iron glove. He jumped up, and landing, he moved power into his punch and punched the plate beside the tower. There was a crack when the plate broke, but the metal ball took off and whacked the bell, which fell off and, luckily, hit the helmet on Memo's head.

In an incredibly quiet area of the Illusia forest, a tranquil stream of water fell down as a young wamn sat cross legged at its bottom. She was Yoshino Sanae, a warrior woman who had her twin Naginata on the ground in front of her. Wearing her usual Hakama, she had exposed the upper half of her body and now, aside from the wraps she wore to cover and control her breasts, her soft white skin was now exposed. With her eyes closed, she silently meditated and focused her mind on further increasing her prowess. As she sat there, she suddenly got a flash of an image… It was a skull with countless blades circling it, making it look like a strange sort of flower.

She opened her eyes and without saying a word she contemplated it’s meaning as she recovered her garment and picked her weapons up, crossing them over her back. It was getting late and perhaps pondering on this images meaning would be better when she had more of her energies?
Setting off back into the forest, she followed the landmarks she had memorised on her way here as not to get lost. A warrior should have at least a decent sense of direction.

On the way, she saw a small log cabin of what probably belonged to a woodcutter. A middle aged man, who hadn't noticed her seemed to be wearing chopping wood, probably for a fire. He had a huge axe which was probably too heavy for him, as he seemed to struggle to lift it up properly…

As she walked along, the man seemed to hear somebody call for him and wiped his hands and headed inside. Lolly moved to the large axe and lifted it up, it was indeed heavy for a regular person but she handled it quite effortlessly. She looked at the piled up logs and then in an instant sent the axe through them. The force and technique she employed made the whole stack split into two piles of decent firewood. She smirked slightly, satisfied that she had achieved this then placed the Axe back, and headed back to her inn...

Memo kicked a stone on the ground, which flew and broke a window in what it seemd as an empty house. He quickly walked away. He left all his money on the ship and didn't have any money with him. He decided to have some fun before bothering about the money. He moved swiftly around people, playing pranks on them. He took out a few belts and threw them on the ground. A lot of trouser have fallen, followed by a lot of laughs. He leaned against a wall of an inn and laughed too. Then he noticed a woman going towards the inn. She seems like good person to get the money from. he thought. He jumped up and pulled himself up a ledge. He decided to wait until she came closer and then attack, grab her wallet and run away.
