>>9541401Looking forward to working with you at some point, Onianon! It was partially because I wanted Shogun being kind to her fellow rookies to counter-act Holly, but it was also because I'm genuinely looking forward to having the two team or do more stuff in general.
The decent pic of Shogun praying gave her a third hand that I didn't see after all, so please enjoy this proper Rookie Cup promo and don'tlookatthehandsdon'tlookatthehandsdon'tlookatthehands
Shogun has placed an offering into a box, before getting on her knees and bringing her hands together.
>Oh, blessed kami, thank you for delivering me to the WWA. You have given me quite the challenge.>Spiritually AND physically...and it's hardly even begun, considering I have a trial ahead of me as I face one particularly powerful oni.>Which is why I must enter the Rookie Cup and continue to have you put me through my paces.>It's not just to make friends, though I would like to know more people at the dojo...>I want to see everything these girls are capable of. I want to know every move and everything that makes them tick.>And then? I want to push them to think outside the box. To overcome it with ease and make them fight in ways they've never fought before. As you test me, I shall test them.>But no matter what? I want to win. There is nothing more that I'd love than to become a leader in the dojo, and what better way is there than winning this tournament?>Please, give me your blessing, and watch my climb to the top, just as I had scaled the peaks in my first spiritual journey so many years ago.>May this Shogun stand tall with one clean slice, and may the tip of her blade point towards a new future for the WWA that everyone may follow!She claps her hands together twice, and then bows.
>Amen.
