Kimori: the discworld mud kimori clan

Dokai's story

2011-04-01T17:51:00.000-07:00

In charicter acount from Laule Kimori

Last night I was sauntering around the streets of Ohulan-Cutash and a voice spoke from behind me, "Laule Kimori!" the voice said, I turned to look but there was nobody around, only shadows! I turned to continue my jorny, took another step, "How's that dump Genua these days?" I turned and before me where there had been no one, stood a man with orange in his eyes, I instantly recognised as Dokai, from far back in my youth.

Dokai's story-

Originally from the Hunghung district of Agatea, two weary travelers from Genua duck in from the rain in one of the more popular orphanages in the area. After spending some time looking about they told the caregiver of the orphanage that they would take the quiet boy with the strange orange eyes. The boy seemed small and wouldn't cost much too feed, plus his odd colored eyes were probably nothing more than malnutrition. The happy family made its way back to Genua and the boy's new house.

The orphanage had provided limited information about the small child, nothing more than a hand written note scribbled on paper that seemed as though it had sat in the rain for quite some time. The note read something like, "Take care of dookie". Thankfully, because the orphanage had uneasy feelings about calling the baby "dookie", they conveniently decided that there was only one "o" in the last word of the only written history of Dokai's beginnings.

Dokai learned to hate Genua and everything it had to offer, he resented his new parents for taking him away from the only home he ever knew. He hardly knew his siblings, and only spoke with Laule for any length of time, and that was only to inquire how his half-brother could even stand the city. His love for this place was bewildering to Dokai, a strange and alien feeling that he always probed when given the opportunity.

Dokai spent most of his time hiding from everyone, sitting in his own dark moods away from his family and other kids his age. Outcast from the people of Genua, distanced from his family, he took the first opportunity he could to run away from home. Having never been far from home before, he quickly learned important survival techniques and finally made his way back to Bes Pelargic. He somehow felt at home in this city, as though he belonged. Because of his strange nature, he never fully developed the right type of people skills needed to become a productive member of society, like a banker, or a street sweeper. Instead, he chose to spend his time learning of the ninja.

Dokai jumped into the culture of Agatea with both feet, attempting to make up for lost time, searching for anything that might give him a little insight into who he really was and where he came from. Satisfied with the things he learned, but not finding the answers he was looking for, he moved on to other foreign lands. He can be seen to this day, spending time in his beloved city of Bes Pelargic, and his new acquaintance, Ankh-Morpork and it's surrounding towns. He still keeps in touch with his half-brother, forever curious of his peculiar tastes and funny habits.

Oh my gosh! It's an updated family tree! Indeed it is. Many thanks to SumaraiJack for bringing this to my attention. We've grown quite a bit since last time. Can you spot the additions? :)

Kimori Family Home

2011-01-26T06:18:00.000-08:00

The Kimori Family Home

The Kimori Family now has acquired a House in north east Ankh-Morpork in the Green and tranquil setting of the Tump. Laule Kimori is very pleased to have acquired the new house as the Tump is such a quaint location and has a proper castle near by and is on a hill, which affords as Laule says Fantastic and stunning views over the idyllic and peaceful metropolis that is Ankh-Morpork.

Laule rescued this house as it was the house of the Potpie clan, who Laule is very close links too, considering his Wife Ooonah was a Potpie who married into the Kimori Clan. Laule was sad when he hered the house had gone up for auction but will renovate it and build it back to the glory it once was in dedication to Pame Potpie and for the Glory of the Kimori clan.

Laule has some Ideas on how we can use the house, but would most of all love family members to feel that it is their own place to add and change to make it our own, any financial or physical support is very welcome and please put any new ideas to Laule and I'm sure we can make it a place both to be enjoyed and used.

Down to Laules room ideas -

The front garden - I propose we leave the garden unlocked so people can wander in, and we place a statue(if this is possible) of the great lord Taiki kimori who is our founder of the family in Ankh-Morpork, with a plaque explaining about the family and inviting people if they wish to enjoy the facility's of the house to talk to a member of the family. I may also leave a box with keys as only family members I have permitted will be able to get them.(and npc thief's but I'm not to worried about them)

I propose we lock the front door, if people want to come in and share facilities i am more than happy to permit non family members to certain rooms.

The downstairs hallway - I have transferred most the stuff from the old kimori bedsit to here and propose that this can be one of 2 general storage areas where family members can keep a chest or wardrobe with their personal items in(I propose that each member locks their furniture item to avoid confusion)

The Study(Laule) - This is the room Laule fited out for him and Ooonah and I intend to use it as Laules personal study and refurnish it as it was.

The Lounge(Fegreac) - In dedication to the Potpies I would like to return this room to being a music room and Fegreac has already got us a beautiful bookshelf to put music instruments on. I propose we also put a bookshelf here with a small library of books from the Disc providing there is space. this would make a good space to Idle.

The Kitchen - A good Role play space as always and I am looking for someone who might enjoy equipping this kitchen, I recommend we move the table that Ryuu obtained using 5 finger discount for us and cups, bowls ect.

The Rear Garden(Ceridwen) - I suggested to our Ceridwen that this space could be used for the family witches, a shelf to store teas on, I know that Valdulech prefers camping out beneath the stars and it will be a good place for outside spells.

The Landing - A second storage space where family members can store their stuff also wondered about keeping components here. like a stash of incense for priests and I would always be happy bringing ash back from my hunting in escrow. Of course tell me what you would find useful and we can see about finding features that may be used all Ideas welcome.

The Games Room(Carasel) - Carasel has recently suggested that she would like to try more games out so I have asked her to set up a games room. Id like opinions on the decor of this room I think its quite fitting for a games room I even saw a coffin table I felt may fit in, but that's up to carasel;)

The Master Bedroom - I feel I should give this room over to Taiki as head of the family and will be keen to see what he would like to do with it :)

So there is a line up of rooms in the new Kimori home, because I have put peoples names by rooms dose not mean that they are the only one who can change the room, collaboration is very welcome in fact the more fun and social the house is the better.

As the registered owner of the house Laule holds the money for it and will try to ensure there is always more than 3 months rent in his account so that the house stays in our control, this responsibility is not transferable and I have taken it on happily. If you find using the house useful then I would gladly accept donations to help with upkeep and any furniture and items you would like to add would be wonderful.

Special thanks to Ceridwen and Zari for helping me move.

if you have a key to the old house please take it there and place it on the bedside cabinet.

A chance meeting outside Lancre for Valdulech Kimori

2011-01-22T04:25:00.000-08:00

an encounter when hunting near Lancre

You try to tan the fox pelt but only succeed in ruining it, so you throw away the stinking tattered remnants.

You bury the corpse of a Lancre reciprocating fox deep within the earth.

You have gained the small achievement So We Meet Again, in which you had a chance meeting or two. (15000 xp)

Tiny Fulgoris emerges from a thaumic door which appears in midair.

The road here is hard and bare. The ruts created by many passing carts are deep, and there are several trails of ageing footprints in the softer patches. The rotting stump of a tree obstructs part of the trackway. Stands of tall trees cover the ground to the north, east, northeast and southeast and the incredibly steep sides of Lancre Gorge loom to the west and southwest. Ten miles to the north is the Lancre river, two miles to the west is the Lancre river, five miles to the south is Lancre Town, twenty miles to the southeast sits the peak of Bear Mountain, fifty miles to the southeast are some of the long, wall-like peaks of Drumlin's Fell, ten miles to the east is the village of Creel Springs and seven miles to the northwest is the village of Mad Stoat.

It is a freezing cold spindlewinter's morning with a steady breeze and some puffy clouds.
There are two obvious exits: journey south and journey northwest.
Tiny Fulgoris is standing here.

Tiny Fulgoris says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: well hell

A bird lands on the stump, before hastily flying off.

Tiny Fulgoris bows to you.

He is an old dirty b*****d.
He In the peak of his physical form and walking with an easy grace, he swings his baton in a natural graceful arc. A salt and pepper goatee, long almost equiline nose and a piercing gaze from his blue eyes that seem to see into your soul.
He is in good shape.
He is standing.
He has a wooden Djelian shield floating around him.
Holding : Schwing (left hand).
Wearing : a grey fur-trimmed robe, a black backpack, a medium satchel, five gold rings, a stone medallion, a blackened canteen, a coiling gold viper earring, a Philosophers' Society pin and a mirrored timepiece.

A piece of rotten bark falls from the stump.

You say in Morporkian: I have never been to Djellibeybi

Tiny Fulgoris gets a gold ring from a pocket in a medium satchel.
Tiny Fulgoris starts to sketch a door in the air with his finger.
The lines Tiny Fulgoris sketched in the air start to glow a red colour.

A strange green smell escapes from the forming door and slowly wisps its way around the room.
You wave to Tiny Fulgoris.

You could have sworn that your wooden banana just smiled at you.
The door slowly starts to materialise.

Tiny Fulgoris dances and capers madly around the door, throwing bizarre coloured bits of power into it and chanting strange and obscure lyrics.

A dirty piece of fur solidifies with a satisfying thump.

Tiny Fulgoris' extra-bony fish squirms.

I looked worried

The dirty piece of fur falls!
The portal disappears with a small clap of thunder.
Tiny Fulgoris sighs.
The morning sun disappears behind a cloud.

You nod.

Tiny Fulgoris says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: I've been forced to learn all of my skills again.

A bird lands on the stump, before hastily flying off.

Tiny Fulgoris says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: It's almost insufferable.

A mysterious wire mesh door solidifies with a satisfying thump.

This is a thin door made of a wire mesh. It seems to be a portal to another place, defying the laws of Behind and In Front. It is closed.

Tiny Fulgoris opens the mysterious wire mesh door.

You wave madly to Tiny Fulgoris.

Tiny Fulgoris acks.

Tiny Fulgoris gives the mysterious wire mesh door a good shove.

You look through the mysterious wire mesh door:
In the heart of the Red Triangle maze, alleys lead in all directions, and you are unsure which way to turn. Six alleys meet here, or possibly, depending on your point of view leave from here. Either way, there are a lot of possible exits.
It is a freezing cold spindlewinter's morning with a steady breeze and some puffy clouds.
There are six obvious exits: north, east, northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest.

You exclaim in Morporkian: I don't even know where that is!

You grin.

Tiny Fulgoris says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: you don't want to know.
You say in Morporkian: is it dangerous

Tiny Fulgoris says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: extremely so.

You nod.

Tiny Fulgoris gets a gold ring from a pocket in a medium satchel.

A dirty piece of fur solidifies with a satisfying thump.
Tiny Fulgoris opens the dirty piece of fur.

This is a large dirty piece of fur just hanging in the air. It seems to be a portal to another place, defying the laws of Behind and In Front. It is open.
Tiny Fulgoris puts the gold ring in a pocket in the medium satchel.

You look through the dirty piece of fur:
The street is beginning to get busy here, or quieting down, depending upon your perspective. Small groups of people bustle either on their way to the bazaar or back with arm loads of shopping. The street is also a little aromatic here thanks to the camel fields directly to the south. This is the ideal location for camel herders, being so close to the bazaar and the Tsort Road and so they utilise every bit of land which hasn't been built upon. A gate to the south leads into the fields and then the road continues east towards the junction with Deity Lane and winds west toward the Tsort Road. Someone's house is to the west. A small passage leads to the north.
It is a very warm Seedtime's morning with gusty winds and a beautifully clear sky.
There are three obvious exits: east, west and southwest.
A wooden bucket is by the gate into the field.

A bird lands on the stump, before hastily flying off.

You nod.

Tiny Fulgoris says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: aha, thats the trick, try for a different city and get my original destination.

You could have sworn that your wooden banana blew you a kiss.

You wave to Tiny Fulgoris.

Tiny Fulgoris says in Morporkian with a Morporkian accent: nice to meet you.
Tiny Fulgoris gives the dirty piece of fur a good shove.
Tiny Fulgoris moves through the dirty piece of fur.
The dirty piece of fur wobbles alarmingly.
The dirty piece of fur wobbles alarmingly.
The morning sun peeks out from behind a cloud.
The dirty piece of fur wobbles alarmingly.
The dirty piece of fur falls!

Later that day I was shopping in Lancre and bought a nice peace of Cake.

You bite eagerly into the Carrot Surprise Cake and savour the unusual sweet and crunchy texture.

This cake is an experiment in exotic fare. The rich, dark exterior has been baked to perfection, concealing the "surprise" inclusion of raw, baby carrots. Each mouthful provides a taste sensation quite unlike any before in the history of baking.
It has just been nibbled on.
It looks nice and fresh.

And invited Carasel, the daughter of my Lord to come to lancre to try this lovely cake.
We have been friends since I came to Ankh-Morpork, despite my poor Morporkian she helped me to comunicate with the other Kimori. With this cake we established the eternal bond of our friendship as best friends.

Laule Kimori's story for the Taxi story contest

2010-11-18T07:40:00.000-08:00

A Tale of Two Witches

It was between life and death that I found myself that day, which makes taxiin difficult as the dead don't pay for there rides even before I tried and failed them. This was the way with Taxi requests it seemed, I missed the part when the request came to me where the client said if you taxi me you will kill me! But as always no questions asked I serve to please and when I arrive the details always seep out, "I have no money!" "I didn't know escrow had vampires!" but I guess other Taxi's just get angry, I however am the fluffy, nice but easy to fool Taxi and in this instance I was oh so absent in my thought.

It had always been well known how much I admired Witches, even before I was promoted to head witch in the Guild of taxi's I was always keen to talk to witches but witches so rarely require our services. When a request came from a young witch I was very excited, so awoken by the thought that I quite forgot myself.

She was waiting at a small church in Sto lat, I admit this made me more keen than ever as I requested her kindly to follow me and called upon pishe to grant me and my young fare the means to travel. This was my first mistake as I could not travel from within a sanctuary so I took her by the hand and lead her outside, my second mistake!

I saw flowers, brides maids, people cheering and birds singing songs of celebration......A lynch mob was waiting!

Unknown to me this innocent Witch had committed crimes against the good people of Sto lat and even though I was quick to move to defend her I was too late, one thug had grabbed her and I treed to keep a grip of her hand but the crowd surged around me and she had gone like a small boat that has been pulled from the shore by the rage of a storm.

I found her body..... I knelt and I cried, why hadent she told me and it soon dawned why she had been in the sanctuary in the first place and I felt such a fool. I felt a cold hand resting reassuringly on my shoulder.

Still very shocked and dazed by the whole thing I raised my hand to my shoulder, my sigh deep I closed my eyes, one last tear rolled down my cheek as I said "you have departed."

It felt very different and although I had helped many souls find their way back to the world of the living, I knew that even Pishe could not grant my request here, and the severity of the situation was clear.

Back in the Taxi Guild office sat behind my desk feeling very feeble, when the call comes in. Another witch requires help in the Ramtops!

I says resolved "I am there!"

It was dark by the time I arrived in Razorback, the message read "beside Fire fly lake" in a fine scripted hand. I climbed down off the bridge and walked with some trepidation down towards the lake.

Sat on the quaint bench awaiting fare, elbows on my knees, face in my palms considering the day's events when I felt the cold sharp of a blade against my throat...... My breaths deepened...... my pulse quickened...... I could feel the sweat on my brow even though it was not a warm night.

I felt warm breaths flow from my ear on to my neck, I waited......

"Laule Kimori?" her voice was cutting but had a softness to it that I just couldn't place. "I need your help" The blade still held tight to my jugular, I mustered the courage to speak and only could manage in a grunt of a man in fear for his life "Yes?", "Did you see others on the way here?" she withdrew the blade, I felt relieved and thankful.

I stood up, "No, I saw no one" She stepped into the light of the moon and I caught a glimpse of her pale as the purely driven snow skin, her eyes mirrored the colour of the moon light as it penetrates the canopy above and her lips..... drew my attention as she spoke a whisper "where can you take me?" lips red like blood.

I felt like I was in a dream and I gazed a little longer into her eyes before I realized I was staring. I quickly glanced over at the pool "The pool is beautiful!" I absently said.

I could sense impatience in her voice.... but also tiredness "I can't run anymore!" she looked around nervously, "they have not let me rest, it all started in Bad ass on the lane near granny's! Since they have taken my broom" She looked very weary.

Suddenly there was a flash! She Gasped "their here!", figures clad in black where all around us.
I moved to defend her drawing my mighty mace into both hands. I swung wildly but they where just too quick, lightning arched across the clearing narrowly missing me catching the witch square in the chest.

Her tired body slumped to the ground. I stooped over here, my heart pumping.... she was still breathing and then I knew where to go! I called out to pishe and we faded into the clearing.

Kneeling on the rainy more tears dampened my rain drenched check further, I placed my hands on the burns on her chest and preyed and the life came back into her, She smiled and said "I just need some space to breath, need to get away!"

Her words returned the warmth into my bones, I wiped my face with the back of my hand, stood and sheathed my Retribution. "When you have recovered your strength, I have a beautiful secluded place for you in the mountain kingdom of Calh-Nhad far far away."

My Wedding Day - by Laule Kimori

This is the edge of Firefly Lake, a spectacular and secluded spot, alluring to both nature lovers or lovers by nature. Perfect for those who wish to spend time admiring the scenery with that special someone. The lake glows and sparkles in the light, while the trees sway slightly in a cool breeze. An occasional swan swims across the clear, blue waters as if in an artist's landscape, but somehow it seems that it would be better to wait until dark to see the real beauty of this lake. The wooden bench here is set perfectly to look out across the lake and admire the resplendence of the area.It is a warm summer prime's evening with almost no wind and a beautifully clear sky.
Competent Uhr Kimori is sitting here and Magistrate Jeanie, Black Ooonah Potpie (dim), Multilingual Shenandoah Potpie, an aristocratic Ramtop wolfhound, Holy Kyoshi Kimori and Sister Carasel Kimori are standing here.

'Interview with a Roleplayer: Laule Kimori' by Aell von Glitz

2010-09-16T12:05:00.000-07:00

Written in Agatean:

This month's interview had to be brief, as my organising of the
Assassins' House Games left me with very little spare time to
write. I sat in my study sorting papers, wondering who I should
ask to interview, when a leaflet dropped out from inside a stack
of forms. "TAXI -- The Original Portal Club" decorated the front,
with a picture of a smiling priest on the front. The priest, I
knew, was Laule Kimori -- President of the Taxi Club. After some
inquiring, I found that Laule was on an extended break to his
grandmother's house in Bois. So, summoning my own taxi, I headed
on to meet him.

He answered the door with his usual welcoming smile. "I'm very
much looking forward to talking to you," he stated, gesturing for
me to come in. "If you're happy to come into my little room
upstairs, it's quiet and safe, and we won't be disturbed."
Thanking him, I followed him up the stairs and took the empty
seat he gestured to. As he perched on the edge of his bed, I
immediately got right down to business, questioning Laule about
his early life.

"Well I grew up in the forests near here," he started, gazing out
the windows to the woodlands of Bois. "It was such a wonderful
place to be a child; kind woodsmen, talking mice... quite ideal,
I think!" I noticed his gaze was dreamy and reminiscent so I left
him with his thoughts for a few moments before encouraging him to
tell me more.

"I didn't know at the time that my family originated from far
across the sea. I always wondered about my father's accent, but
being a child I was quite oblivious to the world outside Bois!"
He chuckled to himself, his rounded belly shaking with the
movement. "When I grew older and desired to venture from Bois, I
travelled to Genua. I found, to my surprise, an older brother and
sister that I had not known about. Suddenly the world seemed very
big."

I noticed a certain innocence about Laule that was not
immediately apparent when meeting him. I speculate now, whilst
writing this, that growing up in a secluded fairytale village
like Bois leaves you with a certain childish naivety, especially
when venturing out into the rest of the Disc.

"Suddenly I had family where I only had solitude before,"
continued Laule, warmth reaching his reminiscent eyes. "There
were so many people I had not met, so I travelled to Ankh-Morpork
where the rest of my family had made a home. It took me qite a
while to get there," he added, "but I had some skills, and I had
seen an advertisement in the paper for people who could transport
others around... so by the powers that Pishe granted me I was
able to use this as a chance to earn a living whilst exploring my
heritage!"

I'd noticed that Laule had mentioned he was a follower of Pishe.
My curiosity taking the better of me, I inquired what had drawn
him to this walk of life. "If I said that I was lost in the
forest and found Pishe, it would not be far from the truth! I
wandered at night into a wooded place, with a pool," he stated,
his gestures now somewhat animated. "There was a priest there and
his words rang clear in my mind. I had only ever a desire for
good."

The whole scenario struck me as being the closest thing to
'fate', but I did have to wonder what Laule would have done had
he not found that secluded pool. "Well, I don't think it's a
secret the admiration, should I say, that I have developed for
witches." He chuckled to himself. "I would talk about them so
frequently with the fellow members of taxi, they jokingly made me
their head witch."

And it was with this that our interview ended. The sun was
setting over the peaceful village of Bois, and Laule escorted me
to the door where my taxi was patiently waiting. I asked if he
had any closing remarks before I left. "Do you know what it's
like to stand on the ice fields at the Hub and look over all of
the Disc?" And with a wink, he shut the door, leaving me to
ponder this on my short journey back home.

to you, love you, and respect you as we grow together for

which you rest,the companion of your life.

The letters of Valdulech

2010-04-25T04:05:00.000-07:00

To my dearest,

These are the records of my dishonourable misfortunes and why I do not regret.

Darkness in my soul
Like dark trees in Uberwald
Yet I love you both.

Once I was a young man in service of the Lord Kimori. His humble personal aid and man servant I was. My daily life revolved around setting clothes, calligraph papers and plan my masters personal engagements. Those days were lived on the Counterweight Continent. Where gold is plenty and honour more valuable than the air we breathe.

The Lord of the Kimori was a good master for his servants and his treatment of me was no exception. Due to my position however I was well aware how important it was for the Kimori to do well in the game of politics and houses. And so I gave all my life to serve the Kimori.

Unfortunately our enemies plotted in the dark and together they ensured the downfall of the Kimori, not by crippling it, but by treacherous plotting and betrayal.

Our honour became stained and we were cast out from the Empire as the Emperor himself declared: all Kimori must be hunt down and slain. Our enemies listened very well that day and bloodshed followed.

Many sad events followed, yet also many great deeds happened to ensure the Kimori Clan would survive. I have killed for my Lord in the past and I certainly am willing to do so again. If I knew it would help him protect the Clan. My clan. I am Kimori, as were my father and grandfather before me.

It is difficult to explain for those outside the family, but it was home.

The Kimori that survived the onslaught fled across the sea to Ankh Morpork. In the years that followed my Lord Kimori tried to rebuild the family. In those days I was his trusted right hand, having protected him in many occasion. We prepared for the day that we would be strong enough, so we could return home and reclaim our position. Either by proving the treason or by overthrowing the Emperor.

Our enemies had heard from our sanctuary in Ankh Morpork and one dark night a successful assassination resulted in the death of the Lord and his Lady. Chaos erupted as the clan fell apart. Kimori that had survived, suddenly disappeared into the streets. I had failed to protect my Lord! There are days I wish I had died that night alongside them.

Some time before I had met a gypsy on the gypsies fair. She was the sweetest creature and when I first laid my eyes on her, she seemed like a rose of beauty. Her name was Lola Dulech and she was the daughter of the gypsy leader. After the collapse of the clan, it was with her I fled. I joined the gypsies and we returned to the dark forests of Uberwald.

From our love you were born, my daughter. I have been able to protect you and live my life happily until the end of my days. Yet I feel sorrow and loss, because I lost my identity as a Kimori. The spilled blood is colouring my dreams and nightmares alike.

If you read this, I must have passed away. Alas! I never regretted you and Lola. But I regret I have not been able to restore our last name, the one we rightfully deserve.

There’s one thing I want to ask you, my sweet child, go to Ankh Morpork and once there inform at the Weapon Masters’ Court, seek the Taiki – if he is still alive today – and join his cause as rightful Kimori. Revenge our memory through service, like your ancestors before you.

Your old father,

Shimobe Kimori

Kimori Family Clan Update

2010-04-25T02:57:00.000-07:00

Slight corrections in this update. Kyoshi sold her slave off to a dogfood company and married in secret with her gufnorkian beloved Soùter. (Mind the accent.)

Meanwhile Ryuu ran into his long lost half-brother Kaito Kimori. The clan now takes care of him and protects him from the agents of the Empire. Their days of hunting down Kaito are over.

We are always happy to welcome new and old Kimori into the clan, but sometimes it can be saddening as well. The bitter memories of our betrayal and the costly sacrifice that followed as the Empire was brought down upon us, have left scars too deep for outsiders to understand.

As the Kimori clan grows, so will our power. And one day we will not hesitate to strike back and redeem our former homelands. To claim again what was ours. Until then, however, we wish our enemies interesting times.

Kimori Family Clan Update

2010-03-26T12:31:00.000-07:00

The latest update of the family tree. A bit on the late side, but an update indeed. The tree now shows the difference between the vital members of the family and those who passed away. All relations are reasoned from the current Lord of Kimori: Taiki.

With the addition of Valdulech, maid of the Kimori household and lover of her manly barbarian Uhr, the family tree has grown a bit more.

The second part is the first effort to portray the more advancing, complicated relations within the clan. The current effort shows the relation between the council members and those who serve the clan - and are therefore Kimori - but do not have any bloodties (yet) with the family. These are listed under the Special Forces section.

We are now awaiting the second effort, which will hopefully make a lot more sense. So stay tuned!

A meeting with an odd stranger

2010-01-16T06:46:00.001-08:00

You say in Uberwaldean: Barely.
You ponder.
Kyoshi Kimori has an idea
You get a purple baton from a pocket in the black backpack.
You hold a purple baton in your right hand.
You find it much more difficult to perform tongues because you are using the purple baton as an external focus for the ritual. However, this is partially mitigated by the fact that you are near a sacred shower.
You kneel and spread your arms in benediction.
You pray for the Apostles' Gift.
Loudly now, you chant the names of Pishe in the many languages of the Discworld.
You humbly request the power to spread Pishe's Word.

You say in Uberwaldean: That should do the trick.
You say in Uberwaldean: For as long as the ritual lasts

Miss Valdulech exclaims to you in Uberwaldean with an Uberwaldean accent: wow i understand you!

You nod at Miss Valdulech.

Miss Valdulech exclaims to you in Uberwaldean with an Uberwaldean accent: I have journyed here from Uberwald looking for the nobal family name Kimori!

You say in Uberwaldean: Yes, I used the gift of my Goddess to break the language barriers for a short time.
You say in Uberwaldean: Ah, yes. I am Kimori.
You say in Uberwaldean: But from uberwald? That's a new one for me.

Miss Valdulech exclaims to you in Uberwaldean with an Uberwaldean accent: that is indeed a valuable guift!
Miss Valdulech exclaims to you in Uberwaldean with an Uberwaldean accent: I read of your family name in my father's journal!

Miss Valdulech exclaims to you in Uberwaldean with an Uberwaldean accent: he came to our baren land exploring, thats where he met and maried my mother but that was a long time ago now!

You ask in Uberwaldean: Ah, and what did he write down about Kimori in the journal?

Miss Valdulech says to you in Uberwaldean with an Uberwaldean accent: it is good to speak to a Kimori at last, i have been trying to understand morporkian but it is slow

Kimori Family Clan Update

2009-12-19T14:19:00.000-08:00

Arrein Kimori has joined the family, he's the property of Kyoshi. Nonetheless, give him a very warm welcome into the family and behold his exciting tale of how it came to pass:

Flames sparked into being as a match was lit. With precision it moved to the end of the cigar. A few second later smoke started to rise up towards the ceiling of the casino. Arrein O' Pianos grinned at the lady across the table. Her black hair was elegantly pinned up and contrasted with her white outfit. The white silk gloves firmly held the cards, while her agatean eyes looked back over them at the thief.

"I raise once more. 40 Genuan ducats." He tossed some coins on the growing pile at the center of the table.

She smiled politely and nudged the man standing next to her, who started shoving the right amount of coins towards the pile for her.

"You know," he took a sip from his beer, "today is my lucky day. Which means, I am going to get lucky..." He smiled a vile smile at her.

"You are starting to run out of coins, mister O'Pianos," said the girl.

"I could always get some new ones. Money is the least of *my* worries." His eyes locked with her. "If you know what I mean." He winked.

She chuckled. "I'm a Pishe priest, darling. My fate is in her hands. The stakes have been set, it's time to call the cards."

He grinned widely and displayed the cards in front of him. They were indeed a magnificant set. He leaned back. "So, what time do you..."

She lowered her hand and her cards were pressed on top of his. "I believe this combination is 1 point higher than yours, isn't it?" He blinked.

"That can't be.... impossible," he muttered.

"What is impossible, mister O'Pianos?" she politely asked.

"The cards... I..." he stuttered.

"...counted them," she finished his sentence. "And you also hid three of them in your left sleeve, another in your jacket and I saw an ace tugged away in your collar, mister O'Pianos. Is there anything you wish to explain to these fine genuan gentlemen in suits who have been so keen to observe us and ensured that everyone at the table followed the same rules?"

There was a stunned silence at the other side of the table.

"Excellent. Then you are now mine. Shut your mouth, stand up and follow me." As she spoke, she rose from her chair. "Please put the money on my account," she told the dealer. She left the table, but after a few feet turned towards Arrein again. "Come along now."

The thief grumbled and followed her example, keeping an eye on the 'genuan gentlemen' as he did so. Options of escape seemed few if none and appearantly he lost more today than just a few coins.

"Are you coming or not?" asked Kyoshi impatiently as she waited for the trickster. She tapped her foot as he approached.

"Right, where to milady?" The sarcasm was kept close with its razor sharpness for entertaining purposes.

"Well mister Arrein, I own you now. I will break you and then reforge you as I see fit." She paused. "Into a true Kimori."

Permalights

2009-12-06T12:59:00.000-08:00

Recently we discussed permalights and the idea popped up to get one that reflects the family for each member.

Currently there are two shops we have our eyes on that can deliver customable rings:

An elegant jewellery store at the Middle of Diamond Crescent in Genua.
The jewel shop on the east end of Pearl Path in the Imperial district of Bes Pelargic near the river.

Examples:

This is an elegant friendship ring set with a flawless emerald adorning a sapient pearwood band. The workmanship is impeccable and the whole ring is an exquisite example of Genuan handiwork. The band is tooled all the way around with intricate patterns and swirls that lend a heavily ornamented appeal to the whole. It looks very expensive, and undoubtedly was designed with great love and consideration for a very special person.

A fine silver ring, this bezel-set ring has been sculpted into a simple prong setting. The ring holds a large emerald that has been carefully cut into a multi-faceted finish. Glittering gently in the light, the emerald shines subtly, casting faint shadows of its hue on the silver setting that surrounds it.

I would like to request the familymembers to play around with the custom options for a bit and if they find a good combo, to mudmail these to our kitten Kyoshi.

There are two rules though:

The ring must symbolize the family;
There is a preference for the familycolour: green.

The combination that reflects our family best, will be used as the basis for our permalights.

The Laws of Kimori

2009-12-05T14:31:00.000-08:00

I. The First Law

All for one and one for all. A Kimori looks out for his fellow Kimori. It is a right as it is a duty. Being a Kimori means something, take to it with care.

No actions may be taken that damage the First Law. This includes actions of malicious intent from one Kimori to the other.
The First Law applies to all members of Kimori, unless the member broke the First Law.

II. The Traditions

1. The Tattoo

All Kimori have dark blue tribal markings as a tattoo. The location varies. The tattoo is received at

The Initiation Ritual of Return. In which the Kimori celebrate the return of their lost family;
The Celebration of Ascendance. In which they celebrate the coming of age of a Kimori child;
The Acquisition of Honour. In which they embrace spouses as if they were one of their own.

2. Marriage

When marrying, the Kimori name is always the dominant one. Spouses marry into the family and must accept the Kimori name. The spouse will then acquire honour and be treated like any other Kimori.

Refusal is considered a disgrace and insult to the family. The spouse will be rejected as suitable material.
For a Kimori to denounce their Kimori name and take upon the name of another, is considered a breach of the First Law and should be dealt to accordingly.

3. The Initiation Ritual of Return

Any Kimori returning to the fold must be tested first. He or she must talk to the head of the family and as many other Kimori as possible. The claim will then be tested. If he/she speaks the truth, they pass and return. If they fail, their soul is cursed for all eternity.

4. Magical Family Channel

Kimori only. If they don't have the last name, they can't have acces to it. This includes the entire spectrum of banned, ex-kimori and alternative version and what not.

III. The Council

The council consists out of the following members and has several tasks:

Members:

Honourable Tiger of the Leaf (Head of the family)
Evergreen Little Kitten (Administration)
Bonsai Sensei (Advice, Archive)
Keeper of the Rake (Finance)

Tasks:

Shape traditions and laws
Judge these laws
Punish whenever these laws are broken

When the council gathers, this must be announced at least a week before hand. All Kimori's may participate at the councils, but the decision remains with the council.

In case of a draw in any matter, the head of the family decides.

Kimori Family Clan Update

2009-12-04T13:55:00.000-08:00

Greetings beloved Kimori,

Today my lovely kitten Kyoshi has finished her three month research in the Ephebian Religious Library. Although she found a pile of new manuscripts on Pishe, she also encountered several documents indicating a younger sister of my father had travelled to Ephebia. The young priest went there to enrich herself. We are not entirely sure what happened at the time, but we did track down her daughter. None other than Llia Kimori.

With much love and happiness we have welcomed her back into the fold.

Cuddles and hugs for our Llia Kimori, cousin of Kyoshi, Ekki, Yva, Laule, Yossarianna, Oli, Eliza, Taiki, Myr and Azile. Neice of Keiichi and Ikke. Aunty to Uhr, Aremen, Carasel and Hidan.

Determination

2009-11-08T11:43:00.000-08:00

“Raaaargh!!” The flesh parted and the cloth ripped as several inches of forged steel burst forth out of Ilik’s back. The body went lifeless and sagged down to the earth. A black leather boot planted itself against Ilik’s chest and pushed the blade free. The gauntlet firmly holding onto it was dark green.

Uhr grinned and resheated his heavy sword. Taiki looked at the corpse and spat on it. “Filth. That was the last time you underestimated us.”

The mercenary seemed older, tougher. The blood had been splattered across his armour, that lost its shine long ago. Claw marks were etched into it here and there. It looked worn. As worn as the face that accompanied it. Additional scars now cleaved the tribal markings that adorned it.

Laule hummed as he healed the last of Taiki’s wounds. He nodded approvingly. “Pishe, will wash away the sin with her rain and the fertile soil will spring flowers to blossom!” Oli muttered under his breath as he removed Ilik’s possessions. “If not the flowers, then my wallet.”

Taiki tossed a piece of bloodied cloth away and inspected his now clean katana. Behind him Oli rose up. “All done.”

He nodded. “Onward then,” he spoke, “to let the world know we have returned.”

Witnesses later reported they had seen them run down Short Street, weapons drawn and determination set:

For Kimori!

Taxi Service

2009-11-07T04:07:00.000-08:00

Quite a few Kimori have a job as taxi. They united themselves in what's often called "Kimori Airlines".

Some of them have listed their locations, prices and transportation capacity here.

Current listed Kimori taxi's: Kyoshi and Laule.

Kimori Family Clan Update

2009-11-02T12:15:00.000-08:00

Update of the tree. Uhr Kimori is the brother of Aremen, the brother-in-law of Kari, son of Eliza and Aferon, Nephew of Taiki, Myr and Azile. He's also the cousin of Carasel.

Uhr is very thrilled to be back in the folds of the family. His response to it clearly showing blood relation to the other warriors in our family:

Uhr says 'Uhr has kitty?'

And then we found out Taiki and Myr's older brother was still alive. Retired and living in Pumpkin town, but alive nonetheless. His name is Azile Kimori and he spends his days painting model birdcages and enjoying light rainfall. A warm welcome for him as well.

Azile Kimori is the brother of Myr, Taiki and Eliza. The uncle of Hidan, Carasel, Uhr and Aremen and cousin of Oli, Yossarianna, Laule, Yva, Ekki and Kyoshi. He's the nephew of Ikke and Keiichi.

Kimori Family Clan Update

2009-10-01T10:41:00.000-07:00

For those who were too blind to notice: we're back. Officially. And we ain't leaving this time.
So tremble and despair for we are Kimori. *ahem*

I bring thee a new update. It's been quite some time.

New are: Aremen Kimori, Kari Kimori, Laule Kimori, Carasel Kimori and Corvid Kimori.

Give them a warm welcome to the family and do not forget to update those relationship links!

My roots are still in the woords (repost)

2008-10-21T15:57:00.001-07:00

Originally born from Agatean descendants that came to Ankh-Morpork as tourists, (At least that's how the gossip goes.) Kimori has settled on Ankh-Morporkian soil as their new home. Although they don't shun to travel around the disc, they definitely have no intention to leave any time soon. Distinguishable by the dark blue tribal markings on their body, they are perhaps a bit odd and have their own quirk sayings like:

"My roots are in the depths of the woods."

Whatever that's supposed to mean.

Is this the truth about Kimori? Or is there more to it?

Historical analysis of the past few hundred years reveals a line of new noblemen rising up from among the rubble that served the Agatean Emperor. A single man named Naoki was granted his title for his service to the Empire. This man, originating from the forests near the Mountains of the Sun adopted the name Kimori in honour of the large trees that grew there. The line prospered until a rough three decades ago when the snake nest known as politics resulted in the fall of the once mighty Kimori clan. Those who survived the bloodshed and annihalation, fled the Counter Weight Continent to seek refuge and rebuild their lives.

The Lord of the Kimori at the time survived and fled to the city of Ankh-Morpork with his wife. Most of their children were born on morporkian soil. The remaining Kimori sought contact with each other and tattooed their bodies with specific tribal markings in tribute to those who were slain in injustice.

Only time can tell what will happen to Kimori, but one thing is sure: Wherever a Kimori comes from, a Kimori is always a Kimori. Fierce loyalty to the family is all that matters and united they shall stand.

2008-05-08T09:36:00.000-07:00

After a long leave of absence, Yossarianna Kimori's brother, Oli Kimori returned to Genua from a 'business' trip and was soon informed about the restored family. It didn't take him long to get back into contact and join the proud Kimori ranks once more and strengthening their position in Genua.

So, greetings and a warm welcome for Oli Kimori, Mugger of the Thieves Guild. Brother of Yossarianna, Cousin of Taiki, Eliza, Dracania, Myr, Yva, Kyoshi, Dheroan and Ekki, Nephew of Ikke and Keiichi.

---

It appears our beloved Eliza finally hooked up with a man of her likings! In private ceremony she handpicked and married him. According to Kyoshi, who was around at the time, it was the swiftest wedding she had ever seen, pointing out that Eliza, as usual, does and gets precisely what she wants.

Everyone welcome Aferon Kimori, Cutpurser of the Thieves Guild. Husband of Eliza. Brother-in-law to Taiki, Dracania and Myr.

Let's hope this marriage lasts for a long and happy time!

Kimori Family Clan Update.

2008-05-06T11:20:00.000-07:00

They that love beyond the forest cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill what never dies.
Nor can spirits ever be divided, that love and live in the same divine principle, the root and record of their blood.
If absence be not death, neither is theirs.
Death is but crossing the world, as family do the seas;
they live in one another still.
For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent.
In this divine glass they see face to face;
and their converse is free, as well as pure.
This is the comfort of family, that though they may be said to die, yet their family and kin are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.

- Engraved on the headstone of the grave of Akiko Hana Miyuki Kimori. Mother of Hidan Kimori.

Taiki firmly held his helmet under his arm, while his messy hair was blown apart by the wind. Around him stood Eliza, Dracania, and Myr. They were accompanied by Kyoshi, Yossarianna and Ikke. All of them looked down at the fresh grave they had dug a couple of hours before.

Not every search is fruitful and not every found fruit is searched.

The Kimori had laid to rest, in honour, their missing older sister. Whatever fate had held in store for her was still unknown. All they knew is that someone had murdered her and dumped her - so long ago - in a mass burial grave, in the hopes of hiding their tracks. Whoever had done this crime, had erred. Taiki had found out and the warrior was furious about it.

He was not the only one.

As they gave their respect for the final time to their long lost and loved sister, they turned and studied their new relative.

"What's your name kid?"
- "Hidan."
"Hidan who?"
- "Hidan Kimori."
"Never forget that, kid. Never forget the roots you were born from."

Kimori Family Clan Update.

2008-05-02T10:46:00.001-07:00

Send forth a warm welcome to the latest addition of the family: Kyoshi Kimori and Ekki Kimori.

They are the children of notorious alcoholic beverage consumer, party-person and turbulant flirter: Ikke Kimori.

The man who goes through life as an adventurer, succeeded in conceiving a twin with one of his favourite women. (She's most likely his favourite due to being the only one giving and wishing to give him children.)

Due to a strange twist of fate (or perhaps Ikke's lifestyle) all of his children attained Priesthood.
The twin is no exception in this: Kyoshi chose for Pishe and Ekki chose for Sek. Thus the Kimori family keeps expanding.

---

Kyoshi Kimori, Kimorian Priestess of Pishe, Kimori Taxi: The twin-sister of Ekki, sister of Dheroan and Yva. Child of Ikke, niece of Keiichi and cousin to Yossarianna, Eliza, Dracania, Taiki and Myr.

Ekki Kimori, Kimorian Priest of Sek, Pumpkin Town Terror, Village Drunk: The twin-brother of Kyoshi, brother of Dheroan and Yva. Child of Ikke, nephew of Keiichi and cousin to Yossarianna, Eliza, Dracania, Taiki and Myr.

down on your luck, raiding the casino

2008-04-13T16:04:00.000-07:00

So, newbie, strapped for cash, no skills yet, now what?
One of the most lucrative things i've found that don't require killing is selling of the scraps that other people leave on their corpses.

Yesterday evening, bombing at the tables of the casino. Down on my luck and had to cover my steeply increasing bets. Suddenly the atmosphere changed as a group of warriors burst in and started killing off guards around me. Quickly, clenching my last chips, I hid under the table. The hand passed, the warriors left. I looked at the two chips and placed them on the table. "I'll be back," I said to the dealer, "deal me in". Still shaking on my feet I found some loot dropped by one of the warriors. Hurrying to a general store to get back before the blinds hit me I sold it and ran back to the casino.
Second hand after I sat back down, I go all in and triple up. 2 more hands pass and I blew 4 guys off the table with a fullhouse.

Don't feel proud about picking up the garbage from others, but damned if I won't do it again!

Trees guard the forests and the sanctified places.

2008-03-24T06:56:00.000-07:00

Or in some cases, they guard people.

After returning to AM from Genua, Taiki Kimori had not received any news from his friend Aell. She never showed up for their appointment in OC either. Being worried of what might have happened to his friend in the dark and very dangerous Uberwald region, Taiki stayed in OC for further news. A week later Aell finally arrived, weakened and sick.

Aell explained she found out who her relatives were and that she had gained the title of dutchess in the village of Glitz. She explained her condition was due to an attack by six vampires. An attack she had barely survived. After recovery from her injuries, Taiki decided to be her guardian and ensure she'd be safe.

As result he has been granted the title Knight of Glitz.

Since Taiki considers Aell a close friend, he chose to become her guardian and ensure her safety until she'd be able to fight off vampires on her own. A remarkable thing to do for someone who lived his life so far as mercenary or bodyguard. Nevertheless it has happened and perhaps stems from the same conviction in which he deals with his family members.

If Taiki dies in the line of duty. He expects any of his family members to take his place and finish what he swore to protect.

Kimori Family Clan Update.

2008-03-23T07:33:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the latest addition of our family: Keiichi Kimori. The twin brother of Ikke and uncle to Dheroan, Yva, Yossarianna, Eliza, Dracania, Taiki and Myr. He's a Kimorian Cutpurse of the Thieves' Guild and the first Kimori to live life as a Djelian.

You may wonder, how come that an Agatean ended up as a Djelian? Well, there's a very simple explanation for that. As you all know, Ikke was the only brother of Lord Kimori to be born on Ankh-Morpork soil. This thanks to a diplomatic mission at the time. He was however not the only child born that day. There was another one. The birth of one child of agatean nobility that was born outside agatea was horrible enough, the fact that it were two was an outright disaster. So the officials did what any good official would do, they messed around with the numbers and claimed only one was born. The administrative chaos that followed, resulted in Keiichi being barred from returning to Agatea and put up for adoption by mistake.

Keiichi Kimori was then adopted by an old Djelian couple. This elderly couple mistook his tinted skin as djelian heritage and brought him home with them. And so he happily grew up as a djelian citizen, until one day he found his way back into the arms of Kimori.

During Taiki's stay in Djelibeybi, where he learned the local language, the two ended up talking and discussing swords and the Kimori family after Taiki mistook him to be Ikke. Although quite similar in looks, they are of course two separate individuals.

And so the line of Kimori unfolds itself, unexpectadly, towards Klatch.

Kimori Legion of the Leaf

2008-03-21T14:27:00.000-07:00

Kimori Legion of the Leaf is led by the heroic Taiki Kimori and features such renowned names as Yossarianna Kimori and Ikke Kimori.

Kimori's uniting to train with each other. Together with his uncle and cousin, Taiki set out in the afternoon. They walked from Ankh Morpork to Ford Pekan and, as Ikke said, they mowed down everything that came onto their path.

The operation was such a success, that it is very likely that such operations between family members will occur more often in the near future.

Kimori Family Clan Update.

2008-03-18T11:09:00.000-07:00

Give warm welcome greetings to the latest addition of the family: Yossarianna Kimori. (Or as her cousins already like to call her: Yossa-chan) She is the first Kimori born on Genuan soil to find the way back to the family.

Yossarianna returned to the warm embrace of the family thanks to Taiki Kimori's travels. Together with his good friend Aell von Glitz, he went to the swamplands city of Genua. Once there, their ways parted and his two-day visit was brutually disturbed by the local city guards. Mercenaries from the Weapon Masters' Court and local lawsystems tend to conflict often, so this comes as no surprise.

Nevertheless the young Morporkian-born Agatean decided not to choose for bloody conflict and instead ended up doing Community Service in return for the small brawlings that had occured. He was sentenced to remove graffiti off the walls in the city. Together with a worn-down brush and an empty bucket, he went in search for some decent water and soap.

His fruitless search ended after hours, when he tossed the bucket on the floor and sagged down on the street, depressed. He realized that he was not going to get the job done in time and be too late to catch the carriage back to Escrow. However it was then that he met one of the Duchess Saturday's Musketeers, who politely told him:

Big trees with big roots, yet small trees don't break!

Which not only cheered up his day, but also made him look up to see who had spoken these words of a wise, old Kimori saying. He saw a big smile. A smile belonging to a musketeer girl who clearly had agatean blood in her veins. The name of this musketeer: Yossarianna.

She helped him out by finding some good water for cleaning the graffiti away. After removing the graffiti, they decided to stay in touch through albatross-mail and talk more by letter later as Taiki was forced to leave in a hurry due to the carriage he had to take back. (A carriage which in turn showed up too late.)

With the return of Yossarianna Kimori to the family, the mystery surrounding one of Lord Kimori's brothers has been solved. We are happy to announce that he was not killed, he instead took the wrong boat.

Ending up in Genua, cut off from his other relatives and unaware how they were doing, he decided to start life anew and wait for better times. Yossarianna Kimori, born on Genuan soil, is his proud daughter.

Kimori Family Clan Update.

2008-03-16T06:55:00.000-07:00

Everyone welcome Yva Kimori, Kimorian Priest of Gufnork. Child of Ikke, Brother of Dheroan and Cousin to Eliza, Dracania, Taiki and Myr.

My roots are in the depths of the woods.

2008-03-15T07:19:00.000-07:00

"My roots are in the depths of the woods."

Whatever that's supposed to mean.

Is this the truth about Kimori? Or is there more to it?

Historical analysis of the past few hundred years reveals a line of new noblemen rising up from among the rubble that served the Agatean Emperor. A single man named Naoki was granted his title for his service to the Empire. This man, originating from the forests near the Mountains of the Sun adopted the name Kimori in honour of the large trees that grew there. The line prospered until a rough three decades ago when the snake nest known as politics resulted in the fall of the once mighty Kimori clan. Those who survived the bloodshed and annihalation, fled the Counter Weight Continent to seek refuge and rebuild their lives.

The Lord of the Kimori at the time survived and fled to the city of Ankh-Morpork with his wife. Most of their children were born on morporkian soil. The remaining Kimori sought contact with each other and tattooed their bodies with specific tribal markings in tribute to those who were slain in injustice.

More than ten years ago the Lord of the Kimori disappeared for good along with his wife and several other important Kimori. This was the deathstab to the once so great family. It is assumed they were assassinated, eventhough the bodies were never found. Those once loyal scattered for good. Any claim for nobility has been withdrawn by the Emperor, or as the officials state it:

Being born on soil outside the Empire no longer warrants continuation of a nobility line.

It was not until the coming of age of one of the younger sons of Lord Kimori, Taiki Kiyoshi Naoki Kimori, that the activity of Kimori returned. Although the Morporkian-born Agatean does not posses any political ambition, he has gone great lengths to find any remaining or former Kimori left and re-unite them in his clan. Even using the tattoos as a symbolic bind between the individual members.

Only time can tell what will happen to Kimori, but one thing is sure: Wherever a Kimori comes from, a Kimori is always a Kimori. Fierce loyalty to the family is all that matters and united they shall stand.
