OOC: Shukusen is one of the Amazonian Ladies-in-Waiting weapons taught to those close to the Amazon royal family. A Shukusen is a “fan”, silk on steel ribs that are often engraved or pierced with a design. The outer ends of the ribs are very sharp, acting as a thrusting weapon when the fan is closed and as a slashing weapon when it is opened. Traditionally carried by the Amazonian Ladies when they don’t wish to be seen with a weapon. *note:I did not create this weapon. I got it from a book by my favorite author.
BIC: Lily woke up to two birds fighting over a piece of bread outside her window. She realized it was late afternoon as they flew off towards the smell of freshly baked bread. Sitting up Lily rubbed her head, there was a dull aching from all the magic she had used the day before. I got to start practicing my magic more. I really didn’t use enough for it to hurt. She got dressed in more commoner clothes and headed down stairs for a bite to eat, she was ravished. Lily ate her food in silence by the fire. She watched the men and women come and go drinking and fooling around. She wished she had got run around like the young teenager she was, but duty had always nagging at her mind. When she was almost done with her tankard of lemonade a handsome young man swaggered over to her table.
He sat down in front of Lily smiling mischefiously. He said in a smooth voice, “Bartender will you please fill this beautiful young lady’s tankard with some of your finest ale.” Lily took out her fan and opened it wide covering her nose and mouth revealing only her eyes.
“I’m sorry mister, but I don’t drink and I think its time for me to go to bed,” Lily said kindly clearly rejecting the man. As she got up the man grabbed her wrist and gripped it a little harder then necessary. Lily tried to pull her hand back, but the man pulled her closer to him.
“Then I think I’ll join you,” he said trying to kiss her. Lily glared at the man and swiped at his face with her “fan”. He stepped back grabbing his face in pain. When he took his hand away there was a line of blood on it. “You horrible little wench. You don’t know whom your messing with. I’m very high up in the court of the Rogue. Isn’t that right boys?” he said to Lily all nasty. Lily looked around a rough looking crowd of men were standing up and looking her way. She noticed that the young ladies that had sprinkled the inn earlier had disappeared. Lily readied her “fan” for an attack.
“I don’t care if you’re the Rogue himself. Read my lips, I-don’t-want-your-company. Leave me alone,” Lily replied sharply, edging towards her rooms trying for an escape. She was fast and strong especially with her shukusen, but there were a lot of them and only one of her. Plus I can’t really risk letting these guys or anyone know who I am. You never know what they might do with that knowledge, she thought worried.
