Seriously, where did she even find that?

WHAT: Talking Cat Podcast
Luna, more than a little frustrated: Are we sure this is a good idea?

Gouto: Well, too late now. Cam's rolling.

Artemis, excitedly: Hey there, world! Welcome to Talking Cat Podcast! I'm one of your hosts for the evening, Artemis!

Gouto, stretching: Gouto here, from GoutoPlays.

Morgana: You can call me Mona, or CatPhantom!

Luna, growing more exasperated by the second: ...And I'm the responsible one, Moon Guide.

Artemis: Oh, that's just Luna, resident stick in the mud.

Luna: Stick in the--?! I'm just being cautious!

Gouto: Why? None of this is canon, anyhow. I could go ahead and spill all of Kuzunoha Clan's dirty laundry and no one would care, because it doesn't matter what we say.

Morgana, warningly: Hey! Keep the fourth wall intact, y'hear?

Luna: At least I'm not the only one here with some sense...

Gouto: Buzzkill.

Artemis, not missing a beat: Okay, now that the hosts are introduced, we can finally begin!

Morgana: ...Begin with what, exactly?

Luna: Are we supposed to talk about the news or something? Or are we just gonna shoot the breeze?

Gouto: Well, if we are talking about current events, did you hear about that one wannabe politician that got axed? What was his name, Thorman?

Morgana, panicking: Woah, woah, woah! We can't talk about political stuff like that!!

Luna: Why not? It's just news.

Artemis: Guess he won't be running for re-election!

Everyone else: ...

929: The Mystery Of Eris
[X] ~Just Goddess of Discord Things~

"I'd assume so, but I've only seen her nab Victoria and teleport away, and keep her on an actual leash, so..." You shrug for what feels like the tenth time today, "...I've got no idea what she can actually do in a fight."

"So she's a gal who plays her cards close to her chest..." Grandpa comments, "...So you'd be blind if things got too hairy."

You glance over at Ame-No-Uzume, who sighs, "I truly wish I could assist you, but I've never met Eris once." Well, there goes that idea.

Raido closes his eyes, placing a hand to his chin. "I hate gambles like this. Yumi, I think we're just about done here if you wanna go get something to eat."

"Ah, shit, it was my turn to cook!" Grandpa smacks his forehead, "I guess I'll just go get some burgers..." He gets up, and matches his way out of the dining room.

"Thank you for your time, but I must return to Lady Amaterasu." Ame-No-Uzume floats over to the door, and exits.

(INT ROLL: 10+10)

...Raido glances in your direction, as if debating starting a new conversation, but chooses not to. If you wanna talk to him, you'll need to be the one to initiate the conversation.

[] ????????????????????????????????????
 
[X] Go to Raido.
-[X] "What's bothering you? Private talk orrr...?"
--[X] If he wants to ask about your feelings again, pull him into another room for the conversation.

How's this people?
 
[X] "...you want to talk about how I'm handling today, fine, but we talk outside. She doesn't need to hear this." Don't clarify whether you mean Yuma or Kohaku. "And I'm gonna need a fresh cup of tea for this."
-[X] Brew tea. Get tea. Sip tea. Walk out the back door, with Raido behind you, to the lake. Listen.
--[X] Talk about it.

Hey, @TremendousMilk3, I was wondering: is there any chance of us talking Eris and/or Athena out of their course of action? Even if it does mean having to kick one or both of their asses to make them listen? It would be interesting if Eris could be convinced to throw a wrench in the whole system of divinity assholery, or Athena could be convinced of the wisdom of not returning to power, or something... at the very least, it sounds like, if we can construct sufficiently-good arguments, they might at least respect us more -- and then we turn them into strong weapons! :D (Not that I want to make Dawn jealous...)

930: "I'm Here To Listen, After All This Time."
[X] Uncle Iroh Maxing

You sigh, feeling your shoulders droop, "...You wanna talk about how I'm handling today? Fine, but we talk outside. She doesn't need to hear this." Both Yuma and Kohaku are in your mind as you speak, "And I'm gonna need some fresh tea for this."

"I..." Raido blinks in surprise, then adds, "...Get me a cup, too. I'll be outside." He nods to you, then slips out the door.

You take a deep breath, and head to the kitchen. You fill the kettle, start up the stove, and pick out what kind of tea you want.

[] Write in your tea!

Once it's all made, you head outside with two cups. Sure enough, Raido is waiting by the pond. You join him, setting the cups and the kettle down and pouring yourselves some tea.

You sip yours before he does. The air seems to stagnate between you two...

"...There wasn't any other way that your fight could have gone." He tells you, not looking in your direction, "If you lost, everything ends. If you show mercy, he'd just come back and keep torturing Kohaku. I'm no stranger to death, but that doesn't mean I don't feel awful whenever... Something happens." He doesn't elaborate. "I can't imagine what you must be thinking and feeling, but... I want to help you through this. I want to be there for you. I know I haven't been a good uncle to you, but I want to start making things right between us. Because right now, my biggest fear is that..." He takes a sharp breath in, "...You get hurt before I figure out how to be your family. So, tell me everything. Everything you're thinking, or feeling, or even just about what your interests are. I'm here to listen, after all this time."

Not really sure on the Tea thing, but I got something for a rant I guess. Went back to the killing Hino threadmarks for ideas based off what we voted. Thoughts? I know I was advocating the whole 'Yumi not enjoying killing' thing, but I feel like it's the logical conclusion.

[X] "Back home, I was always stronger than everyone else. I didn't really question it at the time either. I kept doing what I thought I should've done back then, even if it got me into a lot of fights and a lot of trouble. Eventually, I ended up finding out there were bigger threats to the people around me than bullies, so I did the same thing I always did at the time. I fought. I had a lot of close calls, and eventually it got to a point where I was fighting so much that I needed Shoji to help me see what's in front of me. Yet even then, I never had to actually...kill. They always dropped or gave up before I ever had to go that far. I ended up coming to Mitakihara to get away from that, at least for a while so I could just... be, y'know? I'm sorry if it feels like I'm not making sense at all, but it's just how I feel. I've... never really gone up against fanatics like Father Hino before. So willing to do whatever it took to make others suffer, I just don't understand it. Even scum works to fuel their own greed or pride, but this was something else."
-[X] "Even if there was another way, I know I wouldn't have made a different choice, knowing that he would still be out there to haunt my friends and family. I thought I would feel different afterwards too, but I didn't. I still feel like the same me, even after I finally going through with what I've feared doing ever since breaking actual adults as a child."

[X] Calming, soothing mint tea.
