[Day 1 - EN] Hole in One [RP Thread]

[Yue]

Yoko paused, watching Yue for long enough that it'd certainly have dragged her attention. "Hey-" she smiled, the smile shifting into a cocky smirk, "it's a party, eh? No slouching, good times only -mm?" she suggested, thought to nudge Yue with her elbow, but despite the drink in her system she didn't.

"But-" she looked back out toward the arranged samurai, by now she could focus on a few of the familiar faces out there in the crowd. "Do I hope to practice it? No," she shook her head, "but if I find myself with the need. I hope that I manage to make mom proud. After everything she gave up for me, all she threw away it- I hope I do her proud," she says, glancing down for a moment.

"Oh...sorry..." she murmured in apology and straightened her back again. It was admittedly a bit frustrating to understand Yoko's mindset. There was a lot of uncertainty and romantic notions involved, certainly something pragmatic that Yue was used to.

However, she was probably interrogating poor Yoko with too many questions already. "It seems like you're very intent, Yoko-san. I'm sure you'll be meeting her expectations at the very least."

[Dapper Dog]

After lowering his cup and taking a generous sip, Taiki shook his head a bit, his face a bit more serious now.

"A've not, Hida-sama. As ye may ken... A wid like tae do it when A ken A'm tough 'nuff 'n go' a steady 'nuff head on me shoulders to keep a family safe. Bu' hai... Onii-san's right that A shid start thinking o'such things."

“Well why not a Crab spouse, deepen your ties unless you have someone back home that would make a fitting spouse. It should be taken seriously and do your homework, the right spouse will make a world of difference,” he said.

[Yoko]

"Oh...sorry..." she murmured in apology and straightened her back again. It was admittedly a bit frustrating to understand Yoko's mindset. There was a lot of uncertainty and romantic notions involved, certainly something pragmatic that Yue was used to.

However, she was probably interrogating poor Yoko with too many questions already. "It seems like you're very intent, Yoko-san. I'm sure you'll be meeting her expectations at the very least."

"Don't need to be sorry," she laughed a little. Nodding, "Thanks, by the way. How about you, Yue-san? I could ask you plenty but.. you doing alright tonight? Enjoying yourself? Seem- well, got me worried a little you're not enjoying yourself, eh?"

[Kitsuki Tanaka]

"It's more a worry for what kind of condiments you use, as well as how much you may partake in drink." He raised his empty cup.

"You're right though about fresh seafood being readily available, and plentiful usually. Not that you don't eat your fair share of dried and pickled foods to. Cooking isn't exactly something you do often on a ship if you can avoid it."

"In comparison its better on shore, if nothing else just for pure variety."

"Well then, what does the Mantis seek for food when it comes ashore?" Tanaka smirked, "Or is just any food but sailor's fair?"

Her eyes again drift to the main floor, "Anything in the village in particular?"

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

"Freshly cooked food usual, especially rice and vegetables. Boiling rice is something we can do, when water supplies allow, but it is something of a luxury. And vegetables that aren't pickled are a pleasure too."

He returned her smirk, his eyes wandering towards the bar as he pondered another drink. "Which is likely a pretty boring answer. As for here? There were some shrimp i had before coming here that were quite good. Couldn't of been harvested from the sea more then a few hours before."

[Kitsuki Tanaka]

"Shrimp?" Tanaka rubbed her chin, "Oh...yes...like sea crayfish yes?"

"And I would not say boring...expected perhaps, but when one is denied the simple it becomes exotic no?" She offered, "Or perhaps just comforting, a quick reminder that you are back on dry land for awhile. A chance to take memories with you out into the merciless sea. I am sure a poet has a more insightful way of conveying all that..."

[Tsuruchi Shouji]

Crayfish? Yes, he remembered those from his youth. "Close enough." The Captain answered with an easy smile. "Perhaps you'd care to join me for some in the future? If you've never tried them."

"Likely so." He agreed with a slight smile and a nod. "But you did a nice enough job for it to be please to the ear. Even if you aren't a poet by calling. You also managed to hit the heart of the matter. I love the sea, but there is a comfort to be found on land. In warm meals and new faces, even if it's just in fleeting memories when I return to my ship and the sea."

[Ichiro Taiki]

“Well why not a Crab spouse, deepen your ties unless you have someone back home that would make a fitting spouse. It should be taken seriously and do your homework, the right spouse will make a world of difference,” he said.

The Badger smiled again. "Weel, as Onii-sama kens, A 'aven't bin back hame fer a lang time. A s'pose th' Badger wid be happy tae deepen ties - if thir's yin wha wid fin' me fitting. Juist shouldnae be far fae duty fer lang, yeah?"

[Yue]

"Don't need to be sorry," she laughed a little. Nodding, "Thanks, by the way. How about you, Yue-san? I could ask you plenty but.. you doing alright tonight? Enjoying yourself? Seem- well, got me worried a little you're not enjoying yourself, eh?"

Yue gave a shrug of her shoulders at the question and shook her head, "it's probably nothing you need to be worry about, Yoko-san. I've just had a bit more alcohol than I'm used to...and I've never to a party this rowdy before. I guess I don't know really what to think. Just keeping a bit low to avoid trouble, you know?"

[Dapper Dog]

The Badger smiled again. "Weel, as Onii-sama kens, A 'aven't bin back hame fer a lang time. A s'pose th' Badger wid be happy tae deepen ties - if thir's yin wha wid fin' me fitting. Juist shouldnae be far fae duty fer lang, yeah?"

The Crab nodded at the Badger and added, "Well I can ask Kitu-chan, if you like?"

[Ichiro Taiki]

The Crab nodded at the Badger and added, "Well I can ask Kitu-chan, if you like?"

The Badger seems thoughtful for a moment, then nods, seeming a bit more serious.

"A wid always be 'appy to hear ma Juushi-sama's advice, as ye ken. Bu' A s'pose she must be mighty busy a' this time, eh? Widnae want tae brin' more worry tae her at this time, yeah? Bu' o'course this'un thanks ye heartily fer th' kind offer, Onii-sama."

[Dapper Dog]

"Anything for family, it might make her happy for once," he muttered.

[Moshi Minari]

'' This one understands.'' The ronin woman bows to the Moshi samurai. '' The Sea Fox then. I will visit such ship tomorrow then. Is there any hour were it is proper for this one to appear? This one would hate to disturb your, or any other samurai, duties with an improper untimely apearance, Moshi Minari-sama'' She properly asked for when it was a good time to go and visit the ship.

"Well, it's going to be a late night tonight it seems, so around midday perhaps will be fine." Minari suggest, not feeling the need to be firm on time. It was a night of drinking after all, and she had no big plans tomorrow after sleeping off the booze.

[Yoko]

Yue gave a shrug of her shoulders at the question and shook her head, "it's probably nothing you need to be worry about, Yoko-san. I've just had a bit more alcohol than I'm used to...and I've never to a party this rowdy before. I guess I don't know really what to think. Just keeping a bit low to avoid trouble, you know?"

"Alrighty.. well, what do you say you and I try and figure out how to get through the night and have some fun while doing it, eh? Anything wild happens you got me there, hmm?" she smirked. "What'd'ya say?"

[Yue]

Yue looked a bit at that proposal, especially when she found herself glancing toward the door. She could always make a quick escape by just slipping out. Then again, she would have come all the way here and drank a lot of sake for no reason, right. After a moment of consideration, she nodded at Yoko, "Sure, Yoko-san. I'll try to have fun around here. How about I'll just follow your lead for now then?"

[Yoko]

"Sounds like a great plan, just follow my lead, eh?" she said with a big grin. Intent on making sure to get a little more enjoyment out of the night for them both.

/fade to the background for Yue/Yoko

[Toritaka Hanatsuko]

"Aye, my lord was married not long after my gemppuku. A proper affair", Shitoru explained. "What of you?"

"Hai... my older brother married a few years ago. It was a simple ceremony... A Kitsune and a Toritaka... his wife joined our clan." She chuckled. "He followed father's steps."

[Bayushi Ushi]

He nods. "The Bayushis I knew wore ornate masks, be them even veils or mempos. Yours, though, is plain."

The mask moves slightly to center the, somewhat distorted, reflection of Sanaharu. As such the soft, musical laugh seems to echo back from a version of himself, "Come now, Asahina-san do not insult yourself so. That kimono is hardly plain."

[Asahina Sanaharu]

He nods. "The Bayushis I knew wore ornate masks, be them even veils or mempos. Yours, though, is plain."

The mask moves slightly to center the, somewhat distorted, reflection of Sanaharu. As such the soft, musical laugh seems to echo back from a version of himself, "Come now, Asahina-san do not insult yourself so. That kimono is hardly plain."

Attention gathered by the mask, he can't avoid to lean closer to inspect it. "Oh. This is the most curious. How do it does so?"

[Ichiro Taiki]

"Anything for family, it might make her happy for once," he muttered.

The Badger thought for some time before answering, and his eyes seemed to show some sympathy towards him - or maybe Kitusuchi, or both. Finally, his face back to a more impassive look, he nodded.

"Widnae refrain frae tryin -, e'en mair sae if it kin cheer 'er up. We'd baith leik tae see Juushi-sama 'appy, nuh? "

[Dapper Dog]

"As they say, a happy spouse keeps a happy home, if one is not happy then neither can be," he responded to the Badger.

[Ichiro Taiki]

"As they say, a happy spouse keeps a happy home, if one is not happy then neither can be," he responded to the Badger.

His brow furrowed a bit for just a moment after Yancho's words, but in the end he nodded.

"Eh... A'd say a canty coople raither - thar' twee folks in a pairin', yeah? But 'at said... Ah agree."

Nodding again then as his face takes on a slightly warmer expression:

"We kid tawk abit it, then. Bin wantin' tae see 'er at some point since Ah cam tae th' village too."

OOC: Sorry, added something there just after posting but then saw you had already answered, so switching that to a new post here!

[Dapper Dog]

"Our home is always open to kin," he said warmly.

[Ichiro Taiki]

"Our home is always open to kin," he said warmly.

The Ichiro nods, more warmly than at the start of the conversation.

"Thanks fer ye words, Hida-sama. A widnae want tae impose during this important time, bu' A'll pay ye 'n Juushi-sama a visit"

[Dapper Dog]

"She will be pleased to have more family here with us, and it will be good to catch up on our cousins," he said with a smile.

"As it is, I should return to the castle before it gets too late."
