Strange Mood

Miho has been quiet lately too quiet, during a dungeon run it had come out she was in a strange mood. She'd been quiet the lights had been on in her forge at all hours too. It was concerning she'd managed to have finished her pending orders before it started. It was due to luck as she'd been planning to head to the Land of Dragons. Sadly for her? This mens there were less people to notice something wasn't right. If anyone got near the sounds of a hammer on metal could be heard from the inside the shop/forge.

Yeowang has come back from the Palace Lands, herself, on an interesting mission. One of commerce as much as anything else, and she's come back, as explorers from Europe came back in the 1500's, with strange and unusual spices. She'd met one of the people helping Miho by cooking food, and so today's supper, which she's bringing, has some quite interesting spices. They may be lost on Miho, but then again, it may stir her imagination in strange and interesting ways as well.

She's a martial artist, herself, so unarmored and no weapons, though she now carries a bow as hunter is her secondary, but she also makes it a point to see that her co.... not so much coworkers, but her guildies, her associates, are doing well. By helping everyone do well, the corporation, or the Alliance, does well. "Ah, here you are," she says as she enters, as if she hadn't asked around to find Miho here. "I brought you some supper."

Clang Clang clang goes the hammer. Miho is working away and there's one very big and worried looking dog near her. It looks at Yeowang as she arrives. It get up paws over and is clearly trying to get Yeowang to bring the food to Miho. Her tail twitches a bit.

"huh what it's not even noon yet...?"

The dog makes an concenred noie and will tug at Miho's tail very gently to get her awya from the forge.

"Yeowang? I didn't know you were back in Yamato wait food...?"

She shiffs and that gets her away from her work at least following the interesting smell.

Not even noon? But yes, food! "It's dinner time," says Yeowang with an amused smile, and will lead her over to a side table and chair, setting the food on the table with implements and patting dog's head in an effort to sidetrack it. Don't need the dog eating Miho's food. As far as being back in Yamato, she says, "I only just came back. I am working on a trade deal with the spice merchants in the Palace Lands, and I thougt I ought to find if anyone besides me finds them interesting. Hopefully you'll enjoy it." She smiles widely.

"I can see you're hard at work also. That's good, we don't want to let anyone steal a march on us or beat us to market." She smirks at the competitive-sounding language, but that's how life is in commerce. "If I may ask, what are you working on?"

Miho has lost all track of time it seem but that's normal for someone in a mood like her's. She will pull the thing she was working on awya and properly spin it down. Then she'll head over to Yeowang.

"Oh spices? That could be nice!"

She seem to still be home just really focused on her work. She'll move to sit down and get th food. Meanwhile the dog will go lay down near the two women, it's tail thumping.

"Weapons for the best fighters of the Nine Tails army. So they can better fight the undead and not have to rely entirely on us. We can't be everywhere and we'd be a fool to think the people of Yamato can't fight. They also risk more every time they pick up arms than we do."

Yeowang smiles as Miho seems interested in the spices. "I hope you like them," she says with a smile. It's definitely interesting, and unlike anything native to Yamato. (OOC: And there was no other description, so feel free to run with it.)

She hrms and nods as Miho explains the purpose of the weapons. "I see," she agrees. "Weapons to fight the undead are important," she agrees. "I am not sure what else can be done about them at present, they seem too powerful for even a large force of players to face in a battle. "I understand players are storming their border forts now, to weaken them piecemeal without risking too many resources, ourselves. Limited effect, but limited risk also, and we can't afford great risks with everything going on"

Miho says "I do not complain about someone who treats me to a meal!" She wills tart digging in. Her tail goes up for a moment. "This is new!" The food seem ot have her attention as it's not like anything she's had in Yamato before.

"The fodder will not stop until the vampires and any of the higher order ones are taken out. The hordes are endless more or less. We need to take out the brains and the summoning. These will help the Landers hold them off."

She eats some more.

"But the ones behind this will be made ot /pay/ for the evil they have done."

Yeowang grins as the taste surprises Miho and seems pleased that she seems to like it. /That/ is a good indication. She'll have to begin a major import operation, then. "I'm glad you're enjoying it," she says.

She nods about the minions not stopping until the vampires are taken out. "That's true," she agrees, and nods about making them pay as well. That goes without saying! "But I think the current effort is to get the vampires busy making and remaking minions, and too busy to accomplish anything. Once their resources run dry, they will be more vulnerable."

"I am not sure what our grand strategy is in that regard, or if we even have one. I do not know if anyone from the alliance is involved in any strategy with regard to that."

"The problem is most of thei resources are people. We need to cut the the ones able to make more undead whenever we can till we find the heart of teh cancer and rip it all the way to the roots. So it can never rise again. I seen what they do first hand. Men, women, children none were spared."

Yeowang nods grimly about the resources being people. "The problem is their reproducing elements aren't immediately in a place where they can be struck. Or so I assume. If they are, we would strike them, would we not?" But again, she's just assuming the players involved are employing reasonable tactics. "So our first effort is drawing these reproducers out to where we can nullify them?"

Miho eats more of the tood and thinks on her companions words. "Yeah, we got them in a good place for now. As for that yeah we need to try and take as many of those out as we can as I said. I'm not a warlord thoughI make gear and I fight on the small scale

Yeowang considers the situation, nods slowly. "I am no warlord, either, and I will admit to a poor understanding of the game's tactics. I seek the advice of others, in order to understand." She nods about fighting on a small scale. "I fought in the ring, myself, and only against people, one on one almost every time. Mobs and monsters are both new to me," she admits. "But we do have a few, I had thought, that knew actual tactics? If not exactly applicable to here, because that'd be a bizarre type of tactics to learn. But applying power at a point is universal, is it not? In business and war both."

Miho has finished eating her meal and seem pretty happy about it. "I get it though I have always been a smith as I said iron's in my blood." She grins a bit at this. "Right we should talk to some experiance military officers here. The locals might know something that could help and they just lack? Undying murder monsters..." She seems sad at that. "I wonder what we are now honestly..."

Yeowang nods about asking military officers about things. "That's actually a good idea," she remarks. "They certainly would have the right sort of knowledge." As to undying murder monsters, she can only shrug. That -does- describe players, she feels, but says, "I will see if I can find someone to talk to. Or maybe someone in the Alliance has military contacts."

Miho says "We'll have to talk to someone on that maybe hifumi might know someone on this." She says with a smile. "I don't know what those spieces are but remind me to buy some later when I'm done this...." She seems happy but she's looking back at her forge again. The dog looks up at her concerned...

Yeowang chuckles about the spices, and says, "You won't get them in Yamato right now. I bought them in the Palace Lands, and doing a product survey type thing here. If everyone likes is as much as you did, I'll set up an import trade, and it'll be regularly available." She follows Miho's glance back to the forge, and says, "I'll let you get back to work, then. Let me know if I can help you out. I'm about to pick up a bunch of big projects, so I'm not sure how much spare time I'll have. But I'll try to help."

Miho says "Well then I'll pay you to get me more." She notes and she grins again at this. "Consider me your first customer and thank you for the food. I Can't wait foreveryone to see them when I'm finished making these." She grins will get up clean up her hands rember to get her dog water then wave to Yeowang as she goes back to work. "If you wish to help you can there are a few things I could use..."

Yeowang will take up the dishes and she smiles at making her first customer. "You're very welcome. I'll be glad to hook you up with more spices," she says, nodding. "But what else can I do for you?" she wonders, arching a brow.

Miho looks back over her shoulder.

"Enchanting material would be good thats what I'm short handed on at the moment."

Yeowang considers Miho asking for enchanting material, and she says, "I think I can get my hands on something that'll be useful." She will bow and head out with the dishes. "I'll let you know what I've found."
