[Hey look, it's an Ammy! She is pacing back and forth on the Plane near the Plane Hole, growling at nothing and generally looking antsy and pissed off. After pacing for awhile she sits down, her ears back and her eyes narrowed.]

"And the accursed arrow shall mark the home of the chosen maiden." I had forgotten how much that damn snake annoys me. First the Celestial Plain, then the battle 100 years ago, and now with everything repeating...that snake has truly died more times than a nine-lived cat!

Ah, and this on top of this angel business...I should have been keeping closer track of the time. I had barely noticed the moon waxing to full.

[She sighs and calms herself down a little, though she still looks rather disgruntled.] There is nothing for it, really. Orochi must be stopped, yet again.

What is wrong, lovely one?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah...an old, old enemy has returned yet again. I knew he had, but the time has come now to face him...and I suppose I was hoping that he would simply leave things be this time. Silly of me, I know.

[Here's a rather subdued, slightly depressed looking Shion, out of his Cloth and wearing casual clothes instead of his Cloth for once. He's looking to distract himself, and this seems promising.]

Is there a problem, Lady?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Hello, Shion. I apologize--I was simply, ah..."venting" is the word, I think. An old enemy of mine has returned. I've suspected for some time that he was around again, but I suppose I was holding onto the hope that he hadn't. And now I have run out of time.

[Huh. A talking wolf. A Digimon?]

Orochi?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

An eight-headed snake demon. Something of a nemesis of mine, I'm afraid.

I don't believe we have met, young one.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

I think there's a legend about him in my world...

I'm Takaishi Takeru. And you?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I would imagine so! He rather permeates the legends.

It is nice to meet you, Takaishi Takeru. I am Amaterasu, sun goddess of Nippon~

[lamb_of_gold]

The hope for a peaceful resolution is never a silly one. It's only a shame that you must fight anyways.

[he stiffens, just slightly, at the display, his body language wary and defensive - of both of them, perhaps; in his expression, however, holds nothing but gentle concern]

A recurring enemy?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Ah, I am quite used to it, really. And Orochi is not one to be reasoned with.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Indeed. I am not sure just how many times I have fought him before. He has a most unfortunate habit of surviving.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

He does.

[What. Wait. What. He blinks, and stares for a moment. He's... not sure of this, but it's probably better not to piss her off in case she is who she says she is. He bows a bit.]

It's an honor to meet you.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.] Ah, there is no need for pleasantries really~

[lamb_of_gold]

Then all I can do is wish my lady the best of luck, though if I could help, I would in a heartbeat.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I thank you very much for the offer, Mu, though truly, this is my fight. Orochi needs to be stopped once and for all.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

But you're the sun goddess...

[lamb_of_gold]

Then I wish fate goes with you. [He lays a heavy hand on her head]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Well, I have never really been one to require bowing and penance and the like.

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

[She leans into it.] Ah, I am always so grateful for friendship, Mu~

[lamb_of_gold]

As I am for yours.

[digitale-daten.livejournal.com]

I see.

[He's not sure what to do. But if she's fighting evil and trying to make the world better, that's many notes in her favor in his point of view. His fucked-up point of view, but yes.]

I wish you strength, then.

[it is almost random, but here Sam's question goes--]

Circles. How common are they in your culture?

[ram-of-gold.livejournal.com]

[Tenses slightly, thinking that sounds all to familiar before he takes a deep breath and forces himself to relax] Run out of time? What do you mean?

[shadow-shot.livejournal.com]

"Orochi"? That doesn't sound like anything good.

And what's this about an arrow now?
