Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

After hearing the disturbing news from Kitusuchi, Takeshi was immediately on his way to sorting them out and going to the bottom of this.

He was standing in front of the hole and had lit an incense in front of him. In his hands he held a commune scroll and turned to the kami with which he had the most problems: air kami.

"Oh kami of the air, hear my call, I have questions for you"

“Whoa… it’s a Kuni, we don’t see many of those. This is blowing my mind, man,” the spirit replied in a series of gusts and whooshes.

"What was the question, or was that an answer?"

"Oh kami of the air, two questions i have on my mind!" he said with a bow.

"The first one: Has any of you delivered a message to Hida Yoji yesterday evening?"

“What… the big one, they all look alike,” the spirit responded.

Another voice, “Whoa, hey I remember something like words, from a hidden place, it was like words were flowing through the air man…”

The previous spirit, “Whoa, wait answer the question.”

“Bruh, think he’s talking about the slave bonds of magic… uncool, but yeah there was some sneaky magic. Whoa, maybe I am the One,” the other spirit responded.

A third voice whispered in his ear with a sultry tone, “Yes.”

Takeshi acknowlegded the sultry spirit: "So, to come to my second question then: Who orderd you to deliver this message?"

“They didn’t show their face, or they had a face on top of that which you call a face. But they knew the sutras to command and cajole, it was a sensual prayer,” the voice whispers little pressure points like fingers on his shoulder and a brush of the ear.

“That is the only answer I can give.”

"Thank you, oh wise kami of the air for your answers." he concluded his prayer.

A face upon a face? A scorpion? A bog hag? Takeshi needed more answers.

There is some activity at the door and then he heard her, “You got answers for me Kuni-san.”

Fuboshi was in full armor as she removed her horned helm and said, “I got soldiers muttering about witches hunting my son.”

Takeshi was a bit taken aback. He was really focused on his prayers and didn't noticed the imposing Hida. He gave her a proper bow. "Greetings, Hida-sama. Yes, i questioned the spirits for answers, as it stand we're really searching for a witch. The spirits couldn't tell me who it was, but they said the one who called upon them had a 'face upon their face'." he reported to her.

"I'll tell my daughter to have this place locked down for now until we know for sure. Hida-kami help us if we have a bog hag here among all this priss Crane and Scorpions," she hissed.

"If there is one, i'll find her" he said determined. "No spawn of the ninth kami shall ruin this wedding."

"If there is one, i'll find her" he said determined. "No spawn of the ninth kami shall ruin this wedding."

“Find this threat, it wishes to harm my family and the Clan,” she said grimly.

“Drag it before me, I want to watch it die personally.”

He nodded. "Of course, Hida-sama"

"Get to it, we still have a wedding to do," she replied.

"For the meantime we will make sure no one leaves this region, no one."
