Rating: PG?
Time: Evening of the 27th?
Description: Mitsunari attempts to rebuild his former alliances, one daimyo at a time.
The
parley had not gone quite as planned for Ishida Mitsunari but he would not be deterred. There was still time to plan, still the opportunity to regain the trust of his allies - those allies who, as of currently, remembered not of their vows nor of Mitsunari as a person. This was the greatest obstacle that stood in his way but the Cursed King wasn't about to relent. One by one, those allies would fall into his clutches again and stand by his side against the Eastern provinces. They would see Tokugawa Ieyasu for what he truly was: they would understand the pain he caused and the hatred that coursed through Mitsunari's veins. They would understand in due time - beginning with one Sanada Genjiro Yukimura.
It hadn't been as difficult as Mitsunari had anticipated to learn of Yukimura's patrol route. Meeting the other man in person was far preferable to trying to speak to him over the network; a private discussion was in order between himself and the man he considered a worthy ally. Regaining Yukimura's trust was key if Mitsunari intended to survive here in Death City and stand toe-to-toe with Ieyasu - and with Date.
As the evening settles in, the Cursed King steps lightly around the outer residential quarter, a sharp eye on the lookout for the Young Tiger.
