Entry tags:
I burned it all but I'm doing fine
WHO: Five, Jon Snow, Hijikata, Souji, and Jens
WHEN: during the Ke-Waicai plot
WHERE: the forge of Beom-Soo
WHAT: a very simple task to steal a key
WARNINGS: probably violence, language, (??) will update as needed
This plan was overly complicated from the start. The trek to get to Ke-Waicai was an ordeal in itself, and once they reached their destination, Five had little choice but to agree to hunt down one of the keys that would get them the rest of the way in. Little choice, but still some. The much easier path would have been to teleport directly into the House of Ravens, but he's had enough magic inflicted on him to take a risk by being impatient before he at least tries it their way.
At least once he split from the group, he has some space to think. In retrospect, the forge isn't the easiest option of the three. For one thing, there are more workers than he expected, and even in the spotty light, he can see that he's a fraction of the size of the men toiling away in the heat. Blending in is an impossibility, so he needs to stay out of sight while he searches. Or decides he doesn't have the time, and tells them some halfway plausible backstory to get them to do his work for him.
All options are still on the table if they fail. He needs to succeed, in something, to get rid of his curse and get his shit back together before he snaps and burns the village to the ground. This will work. Then he can focus on his family and getting them the hell out of here.
ooc: starters below! Feel free to make your own, if you'd like to do anything pre or post-running in with the murder child, or if you'd like another starter just hit me up. Also if you'd rather action tag, totally open to switching for you, it's fine. (Also if you haven't been following, Five is currently in the last stages of his greed curse, but he's cool so it's nbd.)
