As Jay crossed the road, he was spotted by the cavalry that waiting for him, and they charged, managing to reach him before he made it all the way across. The closest one swung a sword for his head, but it would be a few moments before the others caught up, Jay would have to act fast... OOC: Depends on if you attempt to murder more people, or surrender. Jay ducked under the cavalryman's blade, but soon found himself surrounded, armed only with the dagger he used to kill the lord. Jay cursed to himself, he didn't expect the city's response to be this organized and this fast amidst the chaos of discovering their murdered lord. He would throw the dagger on the ground, as he was surrounded. He didn't know if they would kill him right then and there or accept his surrender, but he felt his chances of surviving were much better that way. Jay was knocked to the ground and bound, unceremoniously tossed onto the back of a horse where the soldiers began bringing him to the fort. |

Physical Description: Shirai is the smallest member of the Daimyo's Guard, at only 5'6" and 162lbs, nonetheless he is perhaps the most noble-looking of them all, his ancestry peerless save for the Daimyo and the Chosen. Dark Blue Eyes stare out from beneath his auburn hair, a striking rarity amongst the people of Quying.
Clothes and Equipment: Shirai's armor and weaponry is nearly identical to that of a Wave Warrior officer, save for the runes emblazoned on it that blaspheme all those who deal with sorcery, promising death to each of them in turn.

He was not gentle with her. The sound and feeling of the shackles coming around her wrists made her uncomfortable, it made her uneasy. It made her irritable, but instead she smirked and glanced over her shoulder, her jade eyes glowing brightly from behind her cat mask. "Mm, so rough," the Cat teased the Witch-Slayer, and then was shoved forward to walk. She easily kept her balance. Indeed, the way she was able to keep her balance was most definitely unnatural. There were rumors around the city that she could balance on a pin-top. They were probably true. She was pushed through the streets toward the jail and could only hope she'd meet up with her father's killer inside. No one else deserved to kill him but herself. "I suggest you keep your devilish words to yourself, lest they further incriminate you, witch." There was no hint of sympathy in his voice, as she was forced to walk indignantly through the streets of Quying towards the fort. |

Physical Description: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
Masami is the epitome of Tawakoshi beauty but for one flaw -- she is BLIND. Her skin is pale as moon, her hair as black as night. Her face is shaped as an opal, her lips the shade of the peonies. Her eyes are fanned with dark lashes, but their irises and pupils are a pale blue -- to much water in her soul, they say.
As the Jade Cat, Masami is given jade ears and a sleek jade cat tail as well. Her eyes glow a subtle jade in the dark.

Masami takes on many different appearances now as the "lost daughter" of the prominent Ryoichi family. However, she almost never allows herself to be seen and identified as Masami Ryoichi any longer, and tends to take on disguises as poor women.
When Masami is the Jade Cat, she wears dark, close-fitting clothes that allow her the freedom of flexibility, subtly decorated with feminine jade touches.

The Cat gave a single laugh. "Mmm, as if you and I both don't already know I'll be given the worst punishment," she teased him as they walked. She subtly tested the strength of the shackles, quietly turned her wrists. The Cat was a slippery creature after all, flexible and pliable and slender. Jails didn't tend to hold her sort well.
"I wonder if it will be you to punish me? You would like that, wouldn't you~" the Cat further teased him.

Shirai chuckled at the presumption.
"Punishment? Oh no. Even if you didn't kill the Lord Ryoichi, you are still to be executed for breaking into the Daimyo's palace with hostile intent. And yes, I will probably be the one to swing the sword. Now keep moving."
The handcuffs were on incredibly tight, magic could slip through them...if they were susceptible to it.

She smiled and did laugh a little. "Mm, you are wrong," the Cat said to Shirai, then glanced over her shoulder. "I broke in twice. Once to borrow, once to return," the woman said. She continued to walk, her steps very light. "And now I return again."
She glanced over her shoulder again. "Do you not consider execution the worst punishment? Mm, perhaps you consider it a mercy? Shira the Witch Slayer. Your name is very dramatic."

"You go to the Fort, to be placed into the prison there." He said, and indeed it was true, the fort on the opposite end of the bay from the Palace growing closer with every step.
"I do, for in execution there is no chance for redemption. Death is final. My name is not dramatic either, it is accurate."

"Then you agree with me," the Cat said smugly about punishments and execution. There was a pretty little smirk on the Cat's face as she walked, glancing over her shoulder at the big, domineering man who was so, so full of himself. "I knew you'd see things my way."
Her tail twitched, and her ears twitched as well, picking up sounds around them. The blood of her father was still warm against her stomach and breasts, the smell of it in her nose. It made her hands clench in the binds that Shirai had put her in, made her stomach churn.
"Accurate and dramatic are not totally exclusive, Shirai-chan," she said in that teasing tone again, being more familiar with him than she had any right to be. "The man I was chasing earlier -- will we share a cell?" she wondered idly.

"Congratulations, you scored a point in this pointless conversation." He said, dryly.
"Perhaps."
They stopped before the gate of the fort, Shirai conversing with the Guard before they were let in.

Keiji and his men would come to the City Gates and, like the previous checkpoint, would request entry.

They were eyed suspiciously by the guards but allowed into the city, as the gates were open constantly to accommodate the heavy flow of traffic.

After more days of travel towards the actual city of Quying, Mitsuke had run low on supplies and she felt hunger gnawing at her stomach. Even water had not come as easy as she would have hoped and her water sack had ran dry about half a day ago. But even then she held her composure and walked up to the guards with a smile on her face.
Again she looked cleaner then you would expect from someone who had been on the road that long. The only thing that gave her away was the sand and dirt that covered the bottom of her feet.
"I am a traveler and I am a storyteller. I would like entry to your beautiful city to share my stories with its people," she said in a small bow towards the guard.

This far from the border, the City gates were open to all traffic as it flowed through. The guard standing there was a bit taken aback by the woman's approach. He stammered a bit before mumbling...
"Proceed into the city if you wish ma'am, we only stop groups that appear to be armed here."

Having reached the city proper, the retinue bearing Imperial banners paused only long enough to present papers explaining who they were escorting to the city.. and more importantly, to the daimyo's residence. Armed only for the princess's protection, they would linger until being allowed to pass and continue on their way.

From here Xyrix could hear the bustle of the city beyond. He had long awaited a time in which he could return to Quying and see what had changed. Through years of heartache and battle it seemed impossible until this time, when things were finally calm. He approached the gate and spoke to a nearby guard.
"Is there anything I should know that's going on in the city? Anything I should be aware of" The places he intended on visiting were set in stone, but maybe he could get some information on anything new.

She saw the familiar gates and felt her stomach clench as she remembered the last time she'd seen them -- on her way to kill the Shogun. Well, that hadn't ended well, had it? Undoubtedly it was a mistake to return here -- the Cat inside her told her that -- but Masami needed to see how her family was doing... without revealing herself. They wouldn't want to see her, she knew.
The beggar woman disguise was still upon her as she approached the city gates, a scarf over her head, her black hair raggedy, dirt on her face, the unpleasant smell of odor on her body and her dirty hand gripped around a staff. Her age was hard to pin, although the lack of wrinkles meant she wasn't a crone, her bent demeanor, blind eyes, and ruddy-looking complexion made it easy to assume she was within mothering age.
If she was given no trouble, she planned to pass right on through.
