WHAT!!! W-T-F!!! Little missy putrid princess Sushi DIDN’T just go there!?
Bryan is the one without honor!?
Ohhhhh, I can see this comingqqqq……
Miral, “YOU! Little missy putrid princess! YOU have insulted MY name, MY honor, MY culture, and MY friend! I demand satisfaction! A dual! To the pain! No replacements! You and me! You may bring seconds, to carry your body off the field of honor. One hour. In the (pssst – PeterCat, pick a suitable location that won’t get them in trouble with the Empire) One hour. That will give you time enough to notify your father. Be there, or be shamed as a coward with a large mouth and a small brain”.
Nah. She deserves to be given a choice. A duel to the death, or run like the honourless, feckless piece of dribbling shit she is, back to Japan. And let THEM deal with her. And don’t make it a secret why she’s returned. Let her shame cling to her like the miasma from festering sewage. It suits her.
Honourless for being an enemy soldier. Shows quite clearly who doesn’t understand the meaning of the word. Just like China today, she wouldn’t recognize honour if it walked up to her and bitch slapped her with rings on.
(snicker) The newlyweds get the Admiral’s gig. Plush, indeed!
While the Empress-in-training gets ordinary passenger and cargo shuttles.
Ahhhh, well, all in a good cause.
And Teresa is not one with an inflated ego. So it’s all good.
Remember, folks, Shimizu is from Okinawa, site of the fiercest fighting in all of WWII. The total death toll was beyond appalling! At that time Japanese troops absolutely DID NOT SURRENDER! Officially, the CIVILIAN death toll was over 140,000 out of 300,000. Thousands of Okinawan civilians committed suicide rather than face the reprisals and atrocities IJA troops and command assured them would be carried out by victorious Allied troops.
From Shimizu’s attitude I suspect that bushido (the ancient cult of the code of the warrior) is making a strong comeback in post-apocalypse Japan. Never the less I still think Papa-san is going to be less than pleased with baby girl shooting off her mouth. Japanese are taught to be discrete in public.
I don’t know if code duello is in effect in the Empire. So far as I know it simply hasn’t come up. I would not be surprised if it were. The Empire has a minimalist legal system and would, in my opinion, be unlikely to interfere officially in what goes on between two consenting adults. Petercat has shown a healthy Heinleinian bend in the past and Mr Anson definitely believed in it. One of RAH’s maxims was “An armed society is a polite society.” That would only obtain in a society where public acts of boorishnes could see you either publicly apologizing for your public lack of manners or winding up on the sands defending yourself. Just imagine all the “karens” last year who would have had to face such a choice. In a civilized society we would not have to put up with such bullshit.
“An armed society is a polite society” from “Beyond This Horizon”
And it’s opposite counterpart, “Friday”, when Dr Baldwin tells Friday how to tell when a civilization is in decline (sorry, I don’t have my copy in front of me to quote)
Bill, are you familiar with Dan Carlin, the “Hardcore History” podcaster? He has a 6 (I think) part series on WW2 in the Pacific. His descriptions of Okinawa and other battles is truly amazing. The whole series is well over 20 hours.
Note to Catman:
1) Please check my DA page. Pics of the Discovery’s bridge up. (Everyone else is, as always, welcome to drop in, too.)
2) Please resend the Miral figurine so I can try to figure out the problem there.
The Miral figurine is too large for email. Can your computer read SD cards? I’m beginning to think that I’ll
have to mail you one. Please send me your address, again.
IF.. this is a DAZ-3d file .. you both need the “Exact same” files.. so the thumb file idea would ,, but copying “my 3d DAZ library” in its entirety , concerning all Miral content..
then if you make any changes , those files must be added ..
Nope. It’s an .OBJ file that someone else created. They did not use any DAZ properties, just the comic image.
I made certain that nothing about the model comes under anyone’s copyrights. Not even the colors, as she
will be created unpainted. For example, I own a ceramic cat from the ’70s that is the exact shape of the Miral
figurine’s, and advertising photos of every item of clothing and gear. No copyright violations.
Is it too large even after you compress it? I have an honest to goodness bought-and-paid-for copy of WinRar and can decompress both Rar and Zip files. But if it comes down to it I have a slot for an sd card. I have an adapter so can handle both sizes. With the recurring structure 3D models exhibit I would expect it to compress nicely. Several of the .obj models I sent you have been too large for email but wound up compressing nicely.
I think Miral is momentarily paralyzed with shock – since she experienced the honor of every member of that squad (with the exception of the one that wasn’t really part if it). Shimizu clearly agrees with Yamamoto Tsunetomo that the Forty-Seven Ronin should have wasted themselves in a hopeless frontal assault immediately rather than plot for over a year to successfully avenge their master – that success is unimportant compared to the statement being made. She also misses the point that those days are gone and these soldiers weren’t serving their emperor, they were serving their people and nation, and the principles it is supposed to stand for. Big difference.

I am SO stealing that, “bitch slapped with rings on”.
ROFLOL!!!
Oh Hey! How’s your brother- Real Steel!

i would think Teresa insisted…
The fact that their ‘parties’ are of somewhat different sizes – 2 versus at least 5 could also be a factor…
Not to mention all the bodyguards.
That too…
Even if their emperor orders them to surrender? It’s been less than eighty years. She should remember.
Youngsters sometimes has a distorted view of the realities. Hmm, how would SHE react if in the exact same situation?

Oops, forgot to post a link tto the excellent Wikipedia article on the Battle of Okinawa. Here it is:

“An armed society is a polite society” from “Beyond This Horizon”
And it’s opposite counterpart, “Friday”, when Dr Baldwin tells Friday how to tell when a civilization is in decline (sorry, I don’t have my copy in front of me to quote)
Whoever did the cover art for Friday must have used Raquel Welch for a model.
Hotttt….

There will be a new vote incentive soon – the panel 8, Miral’s reaction, that I didn’t use.
It’s up on my Patreon now.
I am surprised the little miss didn’t have her face carved off, the moment she said Brian was ‘without honor.’
I think Miral is momentarily paralyzed with shock – since she experienced the honor of every member of that squad (with the exception of the one that wasn’t really part if it).

Big difference.
I doubt if she would have been able to. See the vote incentive when it shows up.
I decided to not take the story in that direction.
