Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

A pillow book? Nothing so trashy.

Just...perhaps a three day verbal epic about the Empress Who Saved Time

Oh yes, I would definitely play Ren again! Especially with being placed in the new Empress' retinue. Trying to get Lion onboard would be interesting, especially if they choose to go the opposite way and make a divide in his loyalties. In the meanwhile, Ren is planning to be Yuahime's hype man, spamm...

Alas, Real Life no Oni has struck hard in the last week.

I didn't quite stick what I was trying to do, but Ren certainly got into the thick of things.

Ask away!

I hope she and Ren wind up working together!

Most courtiers would likely look to preserve honor, and show themselves as well composed and above it all/ Ikoma were not those kind of courtier. "Alright, let's get the bets going on the skinny Lion!" Ren called out. He was certainly going to be the underdog, even against the less challenging oppon...

"I will prove myself of the honor, that I promise," she says, making her last parting gesture and departing from the central stage. "I second the motion. Yoko-san has shown herself to be honorable and a forthright companion. I am thrilled to have her at my side working for your Highness." Ren offer...

With no blocking from doing so, Yoko would answer the wave and find herself by Ren and Hifumi. Giving a quick dip of her head, "Yea," she said, her lip dragged as she smirked a little. "You've been well, I hope, Ikoma-sama?" she asked, quirking her brow. "Well, I will not lie to you Yoko-san, it ha...

He dressed on a new kimono for this. This one was apparently perfectly tailored to match the season — it was of a light blue and light pink, embroidered with cherry trees on negative space and painted flowers. The sight that appeared was peculiar — a Lion contradicting the theme of the party. Time ...

With a heart of doubt, Yoko certainly woke early enough to consider seeing if there was any welcome here for her. Regardless of the opinions of an important few she was after all a ronin at the end of each and start of every day. Still, it was always worth a shot when you're used to getting chased ...

Ren arrives, approaching the his host and offering a gracious bow. "Thank you for your invitation Doji-sama. This certainly is a gracious gesture, opening up like this. I wish you well, and thank you again for your hospitality. In spite of his words, Ren stands out like a sore thumb. He remains in h...

"Did you see this one coming Fuzake-san?" Ren quips with a grin, and then pauses. "Oh yeah...I think you kind of did"

Ren had promised to show up, and he makes a point of arriving on time, well groomed and with a distinct lack of a hangover. It's strange, in a way, not having her by my side. It was only for what, five days, and I'm already missing it He looks back up at the dias, trying to get a look at his new-com...

Ren lets out a full belly laugh. "We destroyed a curse! Something that can be spun into an epic! A time loop! What isn't exciting about it?"

"Does this mean that I have the room to myself again?" Ren quips drily, rising as well and offering his own bow. "Please take care Yuahime-sama"

"Oh, I am well enough Otomo-sama. I am certainly in no condition to complain while you are recovering so." Ren inclines his head. "However, with the commotion from last night and the announcement this morning, I have not had the chance to properly celebrate and find myself tragically sober"

"In the village? Certainly. She had been traveling as part of a Heroes Journey. It certainly does seem to be the Will of the Heavens then, that her presence resolved such a curse as the announcement was made." Ren continues seamlessly "The timeline may not be quite perfect, but the stories never qui...

Ren's posture relaxes. "It's good to hear you laugh again Yuahime-sama. You seem to be well protected in the meanwhile" he nods in the direction of the door, where five guardsmen waited. "I believe that I can arrange for a few more figures to be armed and ready outside of your retinue, so that our c...

"Yes. But you do have your quail with you." Ren pantomimes a flapping motion. hoping to draw a laugh before things turn serious.

"This is a second chance for the Lion, Your Majesty. Please, consider me at your disposal when establishing their support."

"Oh, you sell yourself short. It has all of the makings of a grand tale: the warning of the cost of love outside duty, and the cost finally come due, to be solved by bridging the gulf in death and returning things to the Will of the Heavens. The act carried by a speaker, a swordsman and a tactician,...

"It would be a privilege to be beside you on the next leg of your journey. " Ren beams, excited at the chance. Yes, his original plan was off the rails, but this was too intriguing to pass up while not ruling out finding a path for his Clan in his future. Even more so...friendship? Well, yes, he con...

"And that is when noble Otomo-sama seized the brunt of the ritual from us, reuniting the child and her parents, bringing peace to their spirits in the afterlife" Ren beams, bowing with a flourish as he concludes the tale. He grins over at the Otomo. "I told you that it was a deed deserving praise. D...

"May the Fortunes bring us together then." Ren bows. "The rest I fear is slightly more impudent Your Majesty. I hate to fill you with requests while you are still in mourning." "One...I had shared with Sutrenja-san my intent and my reasons. There are one or two figures that I have targeted to reques...

Ren replies with a smile to match. "I would say to her...well, quite a few things. That we were both right: that my need for a yojimbo and her need to a guarantor were both wildly beyond reality, but that it was still a privilege for me to act as one to to have her for the other. That I would have e...

Ren bows. "It's strange ground Your Majesty, but I had already begun playing the game of purposefully ignoring one mantle while dealing with the other. There is no hardship to be had." That wasn't quite true (see, the five guardsmen outside the door), but it was hardly worth quibbling over. "I suppo...

Can I set up a meeting with the new Oturi II/Sutorenja post announcement?

I don't really know where to set it. Castle,? Inn?

She can meet you at the Inn if you like.

Thank you
