I am alive?

Yep, take care of yourself first. Games can weather a hiatus and school cannot. I have many of the same issues and concerns with school, but less intense, so I am 100% behind whatever decisions you make here. We're rooting for you.

"If the bush in the storm had 4 walls and a door, I'd be on top of it," she said with a smirk.

"Don't be down on yourself Kenzo-san. The rumors because of my inability to control myself were unfortunate, but I can live with them. That doesn't mean I am going to do things that might result in more similar rumors," she says, starting back. "If you have a thing for being in public places, I am ...

"I imagine next time won't be any better. It's simply not something I have a sense for. The way a blind person can't see. I can keep trying, but I don't have a passion for it. Much better at listening."

She shrugs.

"But thank you all for your kind words."

"Despite the looming storm, I still find the beaches here beautiful. Perhaps a bit more actually," she says as she walks alongside the Crane.

She nods and waits for his return.

"You can dry me off when we get back, to return the favor of me keeping you company out here." She smiled sweetly at him.

Moving to tell her story to the gathered people, she stood before them. Amazingly enough, despite not being a storyteller or performer of any sort she seemed to have no nervousness. Probably because she didn't care what people thought of her ability to tell stories. "So... there was a girl that had ...

"I want all of you pressed against all of me," she said in a breathy eager tone. She had apparently reached a breaking point. "But considering..."

In an effort to avoid needing to completely redo hair and kimono, Akari used her mouth to quiet Yukari as her hand moved into

"I am very much not a storyteller, but if you all wish to be bored and hear me butcher the attempt..." she said with a shrug.

"I like sushi, so I can't blame them for liking it," she replied with a chuckle. "But again, that sounds like too much work for pet fish. Let it be free to hunt and do as it wishes."

She took his hand by the wrist to halt progress, then slowly dragged it free along her skin.

"Like I said, not out in the open. Sneak into my room, drag me into yours, or find some other private place. Then I'll let you explore wherever you want."

"It looked fun, Doji-san," Akari said, then sent a warm smile Yukari's way.

"If I'm not helping you... perhaps I should help myself?" she replied, with a playful smile.

Then the Miya pulled Yukari into a full embrace and kissed her deeply without any doubt or hesitation. It was pure, fiery passion and she shared it with the Phoenix fully.

"It was a beautiful song," Akari agrees. As she continues, she runs a fingertip over Yukari's ear and draws a line down her neck, over her shoulder, down her back to her waist, then dips between her obi and kimono before tracing around to the front. All of that happened, while she maintained eye con...

Akari helped Hanatsuko up to her feet and offered to help with sand on her back.

"Let's go have a look around then," she said with encouragement. "Explore the cove a bit until we find a stick."

"Then I hope that I will be able to make it happen." She lets out a contented sigh as she considers her next question.

"What is your favorite song to sing?"
