[OOC: Seems good. As I hope that Hajime will also tag at some point I will rp the divination after that. I am also planing on doing a tea ceremony for us both. Void/Tea Ceremony roll. We replenish one void point each.]

(OOC: I'm sorry for the delay, guys! Noob question! Can I roll divination to try to interpret the vision?) Hajime frowns deeply at the image she sees. What the jigoku is that supposed to mean? Still, she focuses on the task at hand and tries to ignore what she just saw. The Iuchi will will use Yozhiko's keyboard to do her research regarding the history of Neo Versailles to figure what can be useful to their task at hand. [History/Intelligence + Buffs and Void Point: 10k7 - 40] After she is done with her research, she heads to the kitchen and fills the sink with water, patiently waiting for it to be still. When the water finally calms down, she casts a spell and gazes at it intently. [Visions of the Future spell cast (Water/IR +void): 9k5 - 51]

[OOC: Don't worry. Not sure if you see the same visions I did.]
Yozhiko gives the keyboard to her friend as she tries to figure out the visions. She then lit her pipe and took a rather large sip. She gave time to Hajime to do her own tricks.

((OOC: They weren't true visions, the word image is metaphoric in this case, the idea of looking at the coins and 'seeing' the future through how they land, where they land and on what particular side and interpreting the results. Now your new roll, THATS a vision.))
Neo Versailles is the larger and more populated of the two Thranish's worlds, and the Thranes technology was primitive, but due to the illegal trade they were easily the most advanced of the Gaijin peoples, their technology a bizarre mixture of ancient steam tech and space age technology due to its mixed origin. They even had managed to figure out how Rokugani communication worked, meaning they had an, albeit small, presence on the deep web. Samurai presence tends to be encouraged by the Thranish, although the Emperor has repreatedly tried to stop all contact with the world.
As for a historic situation its more...interesting. The Thranish got the best world orbiting the Burning Star, and the priviledge of getting a second world, after being the only Gaijin that did not betray the Empire in the Gunpowder Wars. Yet, depending on the power of the Unicorn clan and the current Emperor's Xenophobia has largely shaped Thranish affairs. They have never been attacked by the Empire since they moved to Neo Versailles, but its recognised by both sides at this point that the Thranish kingdom lives and dies at the will of the Empire, but at the same time, relies on illegal trade with said Empire if it wants any hope of reversing this situation.
Also, after all these years of contact with the Empire, they still have no idea how to talk to the kami, nor have produced a single human able to do so. It was kind of pathetic really.
Haijime's viewing of the future showed a dark sea, and an old darkness rising from it, resurfacing. Old not ancient, she could tell that this was old, but not the ancient evils of Jigoku. This evil was not primordial, but still far older then anything that currently lived. The foe flicking in colors, changing from one set of clan colors to another, again and again. Something dark, something thought long burried and forgotten, something that had ties to a particular Clan...
Was coming back.

Hajime would share what she knew about the Thranish with Yozhiko before casting the Water spell.
The girl looks extremely excited and cheerful once her vision ends, much like a child with a new toy! "Yohzi-chan! This is great! I saw the future! We are going to uncover a long forgotten secret, something really really old! Oooh this is finally getting good! I can't wait to see what sort of thing so terrible we are going to find out. Finally things are starting to get better!" she says, happily ignoring the ominous nature of the future she just saw!
To her that didn't really matter truth be told, only uncovering it and exposing it to the rest of the world. How the others will deal with it is not really her business, her duty is to bring them to light!

"At least you are excited. Feeling better now?"
Yozhiko replied as she got up.
"Let's go to the smoking room. I need to smoke something."
She was kinda off, her divinations bring ominous and all.

The Iuchi is all smile! "Yep! I mean, it's great to feel alive, isn't?" she says and laughs, then nods to her words. "Sure, I could use a cigarette too."
As the two head there, Hajime drags on her cigarette thoughtfully. "Feeling like playing the guessing game? Help me out with this one. What could a dark area with darkness resurfacing from it means? It's clearly not Jigoku bad but still damn ancient and dark. This evil changed colors all the time, from one clan's to another. It was related to a single clan but it wasn't clear which one exactly. My first guess was obviously the Spider but if this isn't related to Jigoku then I don't really know." she says and drags on her cigarette again furiously while trying to make sense of it!

Yozhiko lit up her pipe and sipped from it.
"I can't tell. Its age disqualifies some really nasty things. That sodan senjo that went south couple of centuries back? A new alien? It's just speculations, I don't have any good clue yet. When was it last time you looked into your future?"
