Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

Does the curse still eat a void point at day start even if you are aware of the loop?

A slight motion from the cloak that might suggest a shrug, "I have always been most devoted to duty. If my lords decide my duty includes marriage then it shall be so, if not then not. I never gave it much thought beyond that."

The cloaked Scorpion rose, but paused at the downturn in conversation, they waited a moment for Ijihime to depart ahead of them before they made their own exit.

All business. "Bayushi Ijihime. Apparently involved in the messages and post of Otomo Yusuke." And so he waited. “Excuse me, Asahina-sana, Toritaka-san, it seems I am needed.” As if on cue, with dramatic timing the woman made herself known. She said, “I am honored that my name is known by so many.”...

All business. "Bayushi Ijihime. Apparently involved in the messages and post of Otomo Yusuke." And so he waited. The mask cocks slightly to one side, "I must admit you have me at a disadvantage. Unless the Crab have passed laws against aiding a friend I do not see how that constitutes a crime... bu...

Konohamaru nodded, but added no further comment. Perhaps there was some ancestral ties involved in all this... "Others have used the time to commit crimes, only prevented by the looping itself. How familiar are you with your clan brethren here?" "I have met them but we are not well acquainted outsi...

A nod from the man who, were it not for the fact he was in Crab lands, would be masked himself. "She's the only one remembers the last time this happened ten years ago. Not the end, but the looping days as well." The mask not only reflects the nod but soon mirrors it in motion as well, "Well that l...

"Her clan's talents are irreplaceable here, as well as her built up well of knowledge about the situation. If either of those would be lost, so would we." "Your talk of folklore stories interests me, at least regarding these events. What have you heard?" The mask shakes, "Sadly nothing pertaining t...

"Not as far as I know. There was some kind of naval conflict here between our clans years ago, but I don't know the specifics. If our Champion could do all this, they wouldn't here." A soft, musical laugh from the mask, "Ah, I meant that it may have chosen an auspicious name to hide its own. Names ...

"Would your wards work on preventing influence from realms other than the foul one?"

Konohamaru welcomed in the Scorpion, offering him a bow and some tea. "Basically, yes. It's the spirit of a girl called Doji Hitomi who's causing this. She implies there is four nights, on the fourth of which a young child will die. From my research, when the young child 'dies' the loops stop. Ther...

The mask shakes a negative, "My lords have not yet seen fit to assign me a spouse. I'm sure they would at least take any offers from the Crane into consideration."

The mask nods again. It seemed the Hiruma was not yet awake... whatever being awake may mean. Which means whatever this all was wards likely did not assist.

They turn to nod at the Crane's polite inquiry and awaits to hear what they have to say.

The mask nods, that was helpful, "What event happened yesterday, Hiruma-sama?"

Roger pauses in his workout, turning and bowing to the Bayushi, "Of course cousin, is everything well with your visit?" "That is the matter at hand. You are shugenja, yes? Did you train with Yogo or Soshi?" Though, to be honest, the figure was not certain which answer would be better suited to what...

"Hiruma-sama. I would have a moment of your time... please." The voice, emanating from the mask and cloak approaching, remembers to add enough to make it a request instead of a demand. Once the Hiruma looks in their direction they offer a polite, if swift, bow. Though the voice holds back on the ten...

All of this, all of this and a sign at the front - "Remember? Want to contribute? Speak to Kakita Konohamaru in the admin tent." Ushi ignored the festival around them and headed straight to the administration tent. They give a quick bow and a curt nod, not out of disrespect, but out of the importan...

For Insensitive would we need to spend Void for each attempt to save people or just once for the event?

The mask shakes its head, "No children. Extended family still live there but that is all."

After the witch hunt Ushi had laid low and kept to themself a little - no need for any further suspicion to be placed on the Scorpion. Now, it seemed, they hadn't needed to worry as things were plenty suspicious all on their own. The Scorpion watched as the world repeated itself around them with mil...

A little bit of a creative nadir at the moment so if anyone wants a thread with Ushi drop me a line.

"It is indeed. It is a rich area of forests and farmlands while also catering to travelers between our lands and yours. Not so rich as Ryoko Owari, of course, but also with fewer... unpleasantries to its reputation."

Somewhere a figure rolls in their sleep and continues to dream strange dreams of watery depths... though safely so.

(Void check, VP spent = 13)

"Well if badgered like that there's no surprise anyone would point at the Scorpion - just to make him go away if nothing else." The mask nods, "I shall do what I can."

"An uneventful journey is perhaps a good one," Soon-ja agreed judiciously. "If I may ask, Bayushi-san, what part of the Scorpion lands do you hail from?" The mask nods again, "I have served throughout the lands of my clan but I was born near Shimomura." Ushi politely participates in the ceremony. T...
