Corsairs & Blood Dragons

[Derkylos]

Outcasts fulfill those three dont they?

1) Kyushu
2) Dragons despise the drug trade, right?
3) Outcasts are also gaijin.

Correct me if Im wrong...

Outcast NPCs are not found anywhere in Kusari, unlike Corsair NPCs. Also, as I pointed out previously, Corsairs and Hogosha are closely linked, while the Hogosha are the ones responsible, in part, for the percieved corruption of the Kusari regime. Plus, as has been stated, Outcasts keep the Crysanthemums supplied, who, in turn, keep the Dragons supplied.

However, it should be noted that Dragons hate the Crysanthemum's dependance on Cardamine, it just so happens that both factions share the goal of toppling the current Kusari government. (As an aside, I have always wondered what the outcome of a Crysanthemum/Dragon victory would be..Crysanthemums want to completely re-work the Kusari laws and ideals, wheras Dragons are very traditionalistic...maybe the two would fight against each other?)

On the topic at hand, I don't believe its out-of-RP in a neutral zone such as the area around Yanagi or the Freeports. Moreover, it should be in RP for the guy's to have a drink, rather than out of RP, since I think a Corsair and an Outcast were talking in a bar and laughing with each other according to some rumours.

I doubt everyone inside a faction, especially if they are born into it, thinks the same as each other.

There's certainly a rumor of Outcast/Corsair romance somewhere, and many authors (especially poets) have picked up on the idea of "if I met you in a pub, I'd buy you a drink...but as I meet you on the battlefield, I try my utmost to kill you".
