On the bright side, if a new sun/moon is going *up*, then Yakamo is coming *down*. That's bound to help.

A Kami is never late or early. He arrives exactly when he meant to.

Alright, if Shinjo thinks people staring blanckly and saying "What?" is a turn on we need to stop doing that.

[] Questions
-[] Is best uncle Isawa no Toturi Sezaru still alive, if yes where is he? Same question, where is he, if he's dead.
--[] What would sending best uncle to deal with the glass golems have caused? What would failing to convince him to garden, make buildings, flying ships, poetry, or train students cause?
-[] How does accepting the position of Sun and Moon mean marriage?
-[] What is Itsume-Sensei doing these days?
-[] Are there any plants with unique properties we should be interested in inside our borders?
-[] What is the best and worst possible future of Toturi Daio?
-[] (I'm not sorry
)What happend to our other sibling with Daio whom we seem to have forgotten?
I feel there should be more, but we can't really ask more questions can we? The one place we might gain something is what Itsume's favor is, but that doesn't seem important when Itsume didn't complete the training for our brother.

So... we should ask things that are actually useful, that he might reasonably know the answers to.
- He's not going to be able to help with any of the stuff outside the Empire, probably, unless it's all Big and Spiritual.
- He can probably give useful (but confusing) insight on any number of personal issues?
- He's probably a reasonably good one for "We haz babby Ishiken. Wat do?"
- Predictions. He probably has at least a touch of prophecy.
- He might be able to offer some useful insight into both Otosan Uchi and the Hole up north.
- If we want to interact with any other deities, he's a *great* one for that.
- "What is going to happen to Hitomi/Yakamo once they descend?" That seems like the sort of thing we might want at least a bit of prep for.
- "Anything I could pass along to my Jade Champion?" Admittedly, not a dragon, but Togashi-no-kami was a pretty powerful shugenja, and the insight might be helpful.
- Anything we could do to help *him*? He's a kami walking (a small portion of) the earth, and he's at least trying to help. If we can do something to make it easier for him to meddle, that's the sort of thing that's likely to come in handy some day.

We shouldn't be able to gain help related to that cause of divine punishment for going against the balance. Or am I missing something? I hate remembering names so I might be.

Okay, In order of priority.
[X] Plan: Questions in order of priority
-[X] My daughter is a baby Ishiken, please give me advice and aid.
-[X] What are Hitomi/Yakomo going to do within the first year after they descend?
After reading @Sirrocco post. These are the only two additions I think should be asked. We have enough to do that being directed somewhere might be bad, and finding other deities might be a waste of time, or disturb the cosmic order!
-[X] Is best uncle Isawa no Toturi Sezaru still alive, if yes where is he? Same question, where is he, if he's dead.
--[X] What would sending best uncle to deal with the glass golems have caused? What would failing to convince him to garden, make buildings, flying ships, poetry, or train students cause?
This is important to affirm Toturi IV made the best decision with his uncle possible, and to make sure the guy is dead. I'm guessing the best choice would be to have uncle do something else like garden and social focus on uncle over time, but succeeding seemed unlikely.
-[X] Are there any plants with unique properties we should be interested in inside our borders?
Medical plants, miracle plants, plants thought extinct, or newly evolved in the last thousand years with helpful abilities for a war.
-[X] What is the best and worst possible future of Toturi Daio?
-[X] How does accepting the position of Sun and Moon mean marriage?
-[X] What is Itsume-Sensei doing these days?
-[X] (I'm not sorry)What happend to our other sibling with Daio whom we seem to have forgotten?
-[X] Honorable Togashi-no-kami, do you think Togashi-no-Kami is a cheating bastard?
These are for fun, and cause I'm curious, questions.
Edit: Sorry about the double post, but new plan, a few people prefer if plan makers don't edit old plans. I'm hoping someone generates a better plan.

As far as I can tell the biggest flaw with my plan is not asking for any current threats to the empire that should be focused on?
I chose to exclude the question on the basis there might be no threat we don't know about, thus wasting a question. Also, Togashi-no-Kami is not emperor. Asking that question, for Togashi to answer, would be equivalent, in my eyes, to handing Togashi the turn for next year. Possibly all the turns in the future if we ever return to Togashi to stop asking for advice and help, but commands for recommended actions by a seer.
Thank-you. I knew it was a long shot, but a dragon that is linked to time through the potential wisdom of the world like Togashi gave me a hope spot the question was valid. Especially with how dragons are concepts of ideas in this setting. I could be sneaky and ask a what if we had an extra sibling scenario, but that feels redundant.

To be honest, I think the answer to that would be ''Murder each other''

Maybe not? After so long fighting they probably just want to stay away from the other, and thus each goes a separate way, to far far away (and meet shrek -qqq)

- Should be a bit higher
That is highly unlikely...
Both Hitomi and Yakomo are that special kind of asshole where you will never see the end of it.
Really it will be better for everyone if they do just promptly kill each other off.

Ohh, but then won't one of them survive? And without to other to check him/her out, this might be bad...

- Should be a bit higher
Mostly I'm just hoping for a mutual kill though.
Pray for a karmic strike.
Hitomi and Yakamo are both tremendously damaged people, sure most of it was self inflicted but it's still there. They blame each other for it because its what lets them keep going and they have to keep going because the sun and the moon have to exist. If they didn't? Well that's an interesting question that I'm still figuring out the answer too.
Still, I would like more votes please.

Togashi seems to think it's worth being a Cheating Cheater who cheats to make it happen but then Togashi.

Hmmm, I won't add the question, the closest source on the future we have is biased for humanity.

Oh, wow. Sorry about that. Let's see...
[x] Plan: Serious Inquiries.
-[x] My daughter is an ishiken. If you have any advice to offer on this matter, I would be grateful.
-[x] When Hitomi and Yakamo are removed from their current state, where will they go? Do you have any idea of what state they'll be in when they get there or what they're likely to do?
-[x] Do you have any information as to when, exactly, this is likely to occur, or know anything about what might influence it?
-[x] It seems that it might be worthwhile to enlist the assistance of Benten in finding a husband that Shinjo would welcome, or in giving her cause to welcome the husband we might find. Do you have any advice on what we might do to seek her favor, advice, or assistance in this matter?
-[x] Do you know what has become of Isawa no Toturi Sezaru?
-[x] Do you have any advice or insight to offer that might be helpful either in closing the hole in the world up north or cleansing Otosan Uchi?
-[x] You are bending the rules to assist us, and for that I am grateful. Is there anything you can think of that we could do to assist you in your current situation?
-[x] Do you have any word that you'd like me to pass on to anyone else? Perhaps a bit of advice or insight for my Jade Champion?
Basically, trying to leverage this opportunity as hard as we can. I don't expect that we'll get all of these, but we'll almost certainly get some of them, and they're all designed to be (or at least to likely be) directly useful in one way or another.
