Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

I think I won't manage to play in this game. It's a pity, because it's an excellent game of an excellent GM with excellent people in it. Given the things that are happening right now in Poland, however, I am too stressed out to wrap my mind around magical samurai things. No luck playing Crab. :( Sor...

Sorry to everyone but due to some RL developments in the country I live in I am probably too depressed to pick up this game in earnest. Will try again, but probably D2 is a wash for me.

[This event triggers a Disadvantage] There were many who had asked him to showcase what sumai was about, and so Oguri used an opportunity to showcase an aspect of it: the ring-entering ritual dance. Still, he seemed less of a grinning, happy himself when doing so, as if his effort was burdened by so...

The Hiruma had arrived at the checkpoint early, because sumai wrestlers get up early! Just in time to offer assistance to his traffic-laden brethrens. Being a worldly Crab, he was good at official proceedings of most kinds, and so it was easy for him to jump into the role. MM1. Helping Out! No Raise...

Being a Crab arriving in the village right now, do I need a check of papers?

I haven't arranged anything for D1 so I am happy to spend time with anyone who pokes me with a PM.

Just a falcon flying by.

Just a boulder rolling through.

"Some think my ring sobriquet should be Wazanodaiheiki, the Great Armoury of Techniques! I know what diligence and precision are." He grinned with wry confidence. He really enjoyed her sense of humour, alternating between grim solemnity and slyness. "No unfair advantage shall be granted, may the be...

He had been there first, somehow marking the middle point with his presence to which Tanaka 'ran' up.

"An umpike?" He grinned, accepting the sweet to crumble it.

"Some may just look at the bodily volume when assessing one, and that's part of it, but it's with technique that I dominate." The Crab replied with a small smile. "And as with every technique, precision and timing of execution are key. Many little things contribute to victory but how to orchestrate...

Mah vote.

"Most certainly! I love what I do, so I'll seek opportunities to wrestle whenever and whenever they'll present themselves! And if I can please my Clan's esteemed guests with that, all the better!" He brightened at the revelation that Yushoko actually was already a fan.

"Not extensively, but its shrimp is known to any foodie!" The wrestler didn't know what to make of the exchange between the evil magistrate and the feisty kid but it left him with a sense of foreboding that he probably shared with some other people at the table. "It's Hida-run so things may be a bi...

I am! There is a sumai tournament thrown because of the wedding. So we'll have an opportunity to meet for dinner. I am looking forward to it! He looked at himself and grinned. "Hah, I can't complain neither on my footwork nor my fleetness of foot, but my dohyo opponents quite likely do!" Conservati...

The Crane bride to be listened and then responded, "Thank you, I feel ready to take the ring myself after such an instruction." She produced her fan to protect her slight smile from view. "Ha, that would be a sight to behold!" The wrestler chuckled, then after a sudden thought that distracted him d...

"I enjoy good honey, though can't say if fish do!" The Crab smirked, extending his thick arm. "If it's from me you'd extract a replacement, Kitsuki-san, then I am more than willing to invite you for a meal that can in aftermath yield more bait for fish races!" He stepped away. "I say we do our best...

"Ah, a worthy treat!" The wrestler brightened, enjoying a touch of slyness in a conversation. "So you want me to devise a clever plan? Very well! How about this: we sprinkle a bit of crushed sweets at opposite ends of the channel and watch fish gather there. Once they part into two groups, we rush ...

"That would work better with a demonstration than in theoretical explanations, and is bound to happen as there's going to be sumai contest for the wedding's celebration, to which I non-accidentally am also travelling!" He chuckled. "But there's a point in getting you mentally prepared for the event...

"Of course! Ill-fed competitors are sluggish and weak!" The Crab spoke out even as he was turning to greet the woman. Adding a supple form with intelligent gaze to an interesting timbre that carried playful irony so well drew a broad smile out of the massive man, in addition to a bow, of course. "I...

Sleep direly needed.

"Unless I am the rolling rock, haha!" He grinned, hiding confusion behind joviality. Either way, it wasn't a big deal, now was it? Surely not. "Sumai is not about gentle steps by most measures, but perhaps that can be my new winning move!"

"Once rocks roll into valleys." Ōguri looked at Yushoko and replied somewhat cryptically, but he had to. He needed to know for sure that... Snowdrop and primrose Sprang by my feet as I walked In geta through thaw For naught so gentle my steps Once rocks roll into valleys Then he bowed in thanks for ...

For the Crane inn folk!

Hiruma Ōguri was seated on a large bench in the garden, watching colourful fish swirling in the well-designed channel surrounding the inn. One could think that his intense observation was culinary in nature, and he was just assessing their sashimi factor. Aha! While not entirely a baseless presumpti...

"I won! I win most bouts these days. From registration to maehashira in a year!" Ōguri grinned without false humility.
