Kakita
Brent (rushing
into the Temple): Huff, huff…I guess I lost her…
Mirumoto
Christopher:
And you made it in time for the interview!
I'm impressed!
Kakita
Brent: Guess
that obsidian side weighs quite a bit. So,
who'd you book for this next exciting interview?
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Toku!
Kakita
Brent: …
Mirumoto
Christopher:
You know…Champion of the Monkey Clan…Imperial Major Player…
Kakita
Brent: I'm
leaving. Hitomi's got to be around
here somewhere…
Mirumoto
Christopher:
No you are not! He'll be here any
second! You were in enough trouble
last time!
Kakita
Brent
(Twenty minutes later): Can I leave now?
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Do you think he's coming?
Kakita
Brent: Maybe
it's those short legs of his.
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Maybe it's the exhaustion tokens…and NO JOKES!
Kakita
Brent: Damn.
Mriumoto
Christopher
(after another twenty minutes): Let's go to the tapes!
Kakita
Brent: I
remember one of our earliest interviews, before I even lived here.
That prize-winning moment with Bayushi Shoju, smack dab in the middle of
the Scorpion Coup! Let's show that one!
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Are you sure?
Kakita
Brent
(rummaging through tapes): Yes! Cue
flashback!
Mirumoto
Christopher:
ARRGH!

Kakita
Brent
(sporting his NEW Kakita blade): Hello Rokugan. We come to you tonight in the middle of chaos and treachery.
Along with my co-host Mirumoto Christopher...
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Konichiwa!
Kakita
Brent: …We
have been admitted into the captive capital of Otosan Uchi, to speak with the
betrayer himself, murderer of our beloved Emperor (number 38, for those of you
keeping track), Bayushi Shoju!
Mirumoto
Christopher:
We understand that this whole "Coup thing" is taking a lot out of you.
Thank you for taking a moment to speak with us.
Bayushi
Shoju:
mmmmbmmmmmbbmmmbbmbmmbbmbmmm…
Kakita
Brent:
Excuse me?
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Maybe if you just removed the mask…unless you have a face like Doji Satsume...
Kakita
Brent: Yul
Brenner with a scar? I just hope
Hoturi and Kuwanan take after their mother.
Bayushi
Shoju:
MMMMBBMBMBMBBMMMMMM!!!
Kakita
Brent
(tackling Bayushi Shoju): Grab the damn mask!
Quick!
Mirumoto
Christopher
(holding mask and punctured side): I got it…but he got me…a little…oww…
Kakita
Brent: Just
hold it on there for a while…we'll drop by the Phoenix on our way out.
Bayushi
Shoju: Was
that really necessary?
Mirumoto
Christopher:
It'll make the interview go more smoothly.
Byushi
Shoju: All
right…what do you want to know, pitiful enemies?
Kakita
Brent:
…I'll let that drop…though I do have this NEW KAKITA BLADE…
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Yeah, yeah yeah…So, Shoju-sama, what exactly possessed you to do this?
I mean, the Emperor seemed like a nice guy.
Bayushi
Shoju: Can
you keep a secret?
Kakita
Brent
(looking at Mirumoto Christopher): Can we?
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Sure…I guess.
Bayushi
Shoju: I
opened the first Black Scroll…
Kakita
Brent: ACK!
Bayushi
Shoju: There
I found an ancient prophecy…the doom of Rokugan would be the result of the
last Hantei…
Mirumoto
Christopher:
You opened the Black Scroll? …Well,
go on.
Bayushi
Shoju: So I
took over the capital and KILLED THEM ALL!
Kakita
Brent:
Except one.
Bayushi
Shoju: What?
Mirumoto
Christopher:
You know…I think the blood loss is getting a bit extreme…
Kakita
Brent: Yeah,
his last son is still alive…and safe. You
screwed up.
Bayushi
Shoju: Well,
I did kill off almost all of the Akodo.
Kakita
Brent: Good!
Wait…didn't Togashi say something about "the last Akodo falling,
then the last Hantei?"
Bayushi
Shoju: O-MY-KAMI.
Kakita
Brent:
…Wow. What a great line!
Mirumoto
Christopher:
The crows are flying, flying…to the distant mountains…
Kakita
Brent: Ever
think that you might actually be starting this whole prophecy thing by trying to
stop it?
Bayushi
Shoju
(grabbing mask and swords): I have to go! This
interview is over!
Mirumoto
Christopher:
…Lah, lah, lah…
Kakita
Brent: Was
that blade poisoned? Well, was it?
______________________________________________________________________________
Kakita
Brent: Ahh,
memories…
Mirumoto
Christopher:
I knew there was a reason that I put that one at the bottom of the pile.
Now where the heck is Toku?
Kakita
Brent: I
don't know! Maybe (giggling) maybe
the ninja got him!
Mirumoto
Christopher:
A terrible Kolat plot!
Kakita
Brent: Like
I said…ninja.
Mirumoto
Christopher:
Well, thanks for sharing in my pain. If
you know of any antidotes for the next time I get stabbed by a Scorpion, I would
appreciate it if you would send them here. It's my health, after all.
Kakita
Brent: Until
next time…when we get a guest that ACTUALLY shows…good night.
The
End (for
now)
