Standing out against the southern coasts that runs well along the way and turns around the flank of the Imperial City to the beginning of the mountain ranges, are a number of spaced, lit guard towers - not even a mile out from the shores on any of them. Each are manned by a number of soldiers and equipped with massive braziers to cast light for signals. Those guided along by the signals of the towers are safely led to the ports of Quying and Sarisu.

Kasumi Okamoto
Dedicated
Roleplay posts: 160 
Age: 23
Physical Description: As most women of Katashima are, Kasumi is not terribly tall, and stands at an unimpressive 5'4". She has skin that is considered of average coloration for her people, slightly darker than that of non-Katashimans, and is of a slender build, with delicate features. Her eyes are almond-shaped, and are brown, although the exact hue changes with her emotions, ranging from dark to light and often flecked or streaked with gold; her hair, though often kept up and out of her way, falls to just past her shoulders, and is a sleek, glossy black. Though she appears weak and not at all like one would expect a combatant to be, she is muscular enough to do her job, and do it well.
----------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Typically, Kasumi wears an outfit that is both comfortable and easy to move in. This consists of a sleeveless, midriff-baring black shirt that gapes open at the sides, revealing the bandages wound around her bosom, on her top half; around her neck rests a loose drape of black cloth that can be pulled up to obscure the lower portion of her face. On her lower half she wears a pair of loose black pants that come to just below her knees, with slits at the hips, and held up by a belt, at the back of which are the sheaths that hold her two tanto, her favored weapons. Rounding off the ensemble is a pair of black sandals, the straps of which wrap up her calves to tie just below the bottom of her pants, and a set of fingerless gloves that stretch up to above her elbow, on top of which she wears sturdy steel gauntlets. Aside from the obvious pair of swords, she also keeps a number of shuriken and kunai in her belt pouches, along with small glass spheres filled with various poisonous substances.

Kasumi and Okamoto Jou had boarded the first ship they could find departing for this land, after gathering as much information about it as they could. Shinobi garb and items had been removed and bundled away for safekeeping, replaced with the attire of the common man back in Katashima - in direct result of the rumors that shinobi and magic were both outlawed within this new land. As the ship on which they were traveling neared the towers heralding the approach to Tawakoshi, Kasumi couldn't help herself from reaching out to anxiously grab Jou's hand. Would they be refused entrance? Would they be arrested?
"I have not been this nervous since the first time I was told I would be working alongside you." She'd been terrified at the prospect of making herself look like a fool in front of the handsome new shinobi who had already stirred her heart and her passions. Recalling how she'd shaken like a newborn fawn upon receiving the news, she couldn't help but smile and look over at Jou with brown eyes full of both amusement and love. This was their new start.. their breakaway from the dangerous shinobi life, to instead become normal. Get married. Start a farm. Have children. She wanted that more than anything.

Jou watches the approaching tower with a smile on his face. This was the first time he felt truly relaxed in... Kami he didn't know how long it had been. When he'd first met Kasumi there'd been the constant conflict of working with Nishida, then the worry of finding their own place. For the first time in a long time though they were going to a place where they could be free, be themselves with no worries.
When Kasumi voices her feelings Jou catches up her hands in his and brings them up to his lips. He presses a kiss to the back of her hand and he murmurs quietly. "We are starting new lives, we are traveling to a peaceful land, and we are together. We have nothing to fear my love." Then he pulls her into a tight embrace staring down into those brown eyes so filled with emotion, but only ever for him. "We are going to start our own farm have many children and spend the rest of our lives in peace together." He assures her, before leaning in and kissing her fiercely.

When the traveling vessel came within view of the snaking net of towers that lined the coast, the brazier of the nearest one sprung to life moments later with the rallying of the soldiers posted there. Two stood at attention on the short balcony that jutted out towards the sea - each bearing a large flag in hand. They gestured appropriately and offered the guidance to the west - as each corresponding tower would mimic the same activity to ensure the ship was led safely and efficiently towards the harbor of Quying.

Kasumi smiled at Jou, giving his hands a gentle squeeze as he offered reassurance and comfort. He had always been the only one who could really soothe her worries. Her head whipped around as voices rang out from the tower, and she breathed a sigh as she saw they weren't to be stopped. Freeing one of her hands from Jou's, she waved her thanks to the soldiers, then nestled into her lover's side. One arm wrapped around his waist, her head laying against his chest, as her gaze followed the path of now-lit towers toward the harbor of their new homeland.

The boat carrying Sir Eli and his dozen knights approached the checkpoint and slowed down. All the requisite paperwork was properly filled out, including the additional needed for them to keep their personal arms and wolf mounts.
Sir Finch stood near the bow, waiting someone to come check them.

The fishing vessel wasn't meant to travel great distances, but with the proper coercion it had traveled over the waves to these lit towers. A woman stood alongside one edge of the ship, fair weather lightly brushing at her cheeks as she took in the beacons. Once leaning over the edge, she stood now and moved to the prow of the ship, bracing her hands against the railing as she watched the horizon come closer.

In search of a new purpose Nakatani landed on the steps on the Tawakoshi province. She had heard tales of Lord Genji returning. He had helped her before and promised her a good life, she was wondering if maybe he could help her now. So she had left Isra behind and headed towards the Hizashi mansion.

After leaving his mountainous homeland Asger had plenty of time to explore the lowlands. He had heard many great things about the swordsmanship of the Tawakoshi and had even trained a little in the style. Asger's cousin had been fascinated with the samurai and had sought to emulate their fighting as well. Alfher had come to the lowlands with Asger, but they had long ago parted ways. He would need to get in touch eventually. But now was the time to enjoy life, and perhaps conduct a little business as well.

Physical Description: More or less average size for a Northlander, he has dark red hair and green eyes on a face that years and experience have not been kind to though one can see that there have been some recent improvements; he has a naturally very ruddy complexion. He has a thick but short beard, as well as poorly groomed but naturally straight growing and thus easily maintained hair. He is vaguely athletic from farm-work and manual labour though perhaps his stronger muscles are not the ones most important for combat.
Clothes and Equipment: Thick robes, scripture of all sorts, crosses, a large staff with four steel flanges to appear like a cross and a box chained to a thigh that he never lets go of that doesn't seem to open no matter the lock-picker, magics used or the reverse. Under his robes is a thick steel collars and various bits of blood-drawingly tight plate upon the man, and it is not certain whether they more harm or protect the wearer. He carries as well some basic herbs and alchemical equipment, accordion, and a bottle of steel-melting stuff he refers to as "holy wine."

A small ship with a black sail bearing a tiny white cross upon it would sail towards the sea towers; it had no visible armaments and the sole passenger would have all pre-requisite papers that he had heard of filled out. He was however somewhat ignorant on the local geography and would wait to be directed to the nearest port by various guards.

The Isran Expeditionary Force sailed towards the sea towers. At the front of the small fleet was the Scrutiny, one of the IEF's flagships. Behind it trailed two warships and four frigates, all loaded with guards. The seas were dangerous, after all. Even ships under Isran flag weren't always safe from the various pirates and brigands that patrolled the waters, and an unarmed exploratory vessel like the Scrutiny would have been easy pickings if it were alone. On-board were Skarlet, Inspector Zurt, and Julia Rafine, among others. |

Julia turned from the railing, where she was standing and watching the waves, as she had been prone to doing for much of the voyage. The ghostly soldier didn’t pace, or even eat or sleep. She had always politely responded when addressed, but otherwise kept mostly to herself. She was aware that her presence could be disconcerting, after all. When Skarlet asked the general question, the centurion turned, shaking her head slightly. “Only what was included in my orders, really. The culture tends to be extremely formal. Very strict hierarchical structure with most of the leadership being military sorts. I have also heard that the locals are superstitious, believing there are spirits everywhere to be appeased, warded off, or asked for aid. But you know how it is with rumors of foreign lands” She shrugged slightly as she spoke the last. |

Reese smirked as he viewed the sea tower. "Is that it? I expected more from the fabled Tawakoshi. Oh well, I'll still be having a good time." Reese Fletcher was looking forward to his vacation. He hefted a heavy coin purse in his right hand, left arm strewed around some boat wrench he had picked up. She was not his type really, but pleasure was pleasure. His servants were confined below deck watching all his luggage.
