Squad Leader
Well I just checked this out a few minutes ago. But I think I will remain independent for now. Party selection may come later.
No. I do not intend to commit political suicide. At least not until the great Ravus commands it.
You have just commited a political suicide.
The results of the meeting were not unexpected. Fargle had not really expected the Shogun to publicly abandon his party ethos just for the allure of riches. Not immediately at least. This did not make it any less infuriating.
Stupid, blinkered fools! Did they not realise that isolation would do nothing but make them pariahs on the world stage? That it would make them easy targets while the rest of the world's Great Immortals would gather and laugh at Japanese backwardness while they drew plans for how split Kyoto between themselves once they conquered it?
As a result the snarl of exasperation he expelled upon realising just who he had crashed into as he strode away from the Palace would have sent even the most vicious attack dogs running for the hills.
"Oh sweet f*** ! You're here too? ... Whatever. I don't have time for this. Knowing His Holiness he's already got plans for you and my getting involved would only complicate things."
Fargle gave another snort of disgust and strode off, leaving a very bewildered Arya behind in his wake.
That evening, as the Sun was setting the curious populace of Kyoto found an announcement pinned in the Town Square declaring to all the formation of:
THE MERCANTILIST'S GUILD PARTY FOR TRADE AND COMMERCE
EDIT: We're not allowed to swear here? That sucks.
Hmmm I may even join this party.
