[Between Duty and Honor] Main OOC Thread

Suzuha is done, and saving her money for buying gifts for people / buying a cute pair of mixed twins for an evening's fun.
 
[QUOTE="Silent Wayfarer]"That seems like the wisest course of action," Suzuha nods. Privately, she has her doubts about whether the Scorpion are involved. Scraps of red and black cloth left behind? If this were truly something premeditated, she doubts a competent adversary would make such an elementary mistake like leaving positive proof of their presence behind. Although it hardly mattered how competent one's enemy was, if they were dangerous... but that was Kachiko's call.

You sure you don't have some Dragon in you ;)


Rokugani seem to canonically be pretty naive when it comes to crimes, particularly framing people.
 
Well, Rokugan doesn't run on logic, Kitsuki's method is actually considered the oddity for its time. The be-all and end-all of justice is literally finding someone with sufficient Status and Glory to make a judgement stick. Plus, they're all Lions, they're looking for a reason to serve up Scorpion on a stick. Our client is a general and is probably wise/experienced enough to know that killing Scorpions is like snacking on Oreos; once you start, you can't stop, and you'll totally regret it even if it does feel good at first.


Besides, honor before reason is totally in-genre for Rokugan. I mean, nobody ever points out that Hantei flat-out rejected Fu-Leng's duel at the Dawn of the Empire, despite the fact that it would have settled the matter right there and then (I mean, all eight of the Kami jumping their sibling...) and Togashi was the one who decided to use all of Rokugan as a weapon for the subsequent challenge, resulting in Fu Leng starting the War of the Shadow which caused so much destruction and death.
 
I think it mean that would be true for most--but not the Scorpion. If anyone would not be foolish in committing a crime it would be them.
 
I was actually thinking of the Way of the Scorpion when I saw the scraps. "If - upon observing your enemy - he makes a blatantly catastrophic error, assume he is drawing you in. No man makes public his errors. Never take opportunity upon the misfortune of others. Do not advance on what cannot be hidden; it is of no value to you. Only advance on mistakes that could have been hidden."


Maybe she's banging a Scorpion on the side...
