Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

Joining in with others... I am frankly burnt out and spent in terms of creative energies, and I'm not able to give this game the attention and activity I feel it deserves from me. Nothing against the game, but I've had a succession of very intensive and fun games the past months and I just have no m...

Minari was ready for this shit to happen again and this time she had even been waiting for the first signs of something amiss. This time her belongings were safely stored away and she was dressed down to her usual sailing-wear; short pants and chest-bindings, the usual thin haori she was over was mi...

Minari was pissed off, but she had a feeling that if the rest of the day was going to proceed like yesterday, it would be wise to get the weather under control again. Once more, she put forward offerings to the Fortunes, and enacted the sacred chants of the Yoritomo that appeased the kami to quell t...

There was a certain warmth in her touch as the power of the kami answered her prayer and coursed through her and into Yoko. It was a similar sensation to relaxing into a warm bath, easing the pain and soreness. "Yes, that is good," she chuckled dryly, patting Yoko as the ritual was completed. "I don...

"You tried to help, which is more important than doing nothin'." She however frowned seeing the state Yoko was in. It wasn't life-threatening, of course, but she was displeased that Yoko hadn't been more forthcoming about her state. "Sit down." Minari directed her firmly as one hand busied itself wi...

Minari shook her head, clearing away the strange vision.

She'd have to check out the mound in the daylight hours.

"Come over here," she gestured for Yoko to approach. "Let me take a look at you. Deal was we look after you, after all."

Minari took a long drag from the pipe and let the smoke waft into the late night sky, then noticed the arrival of the ronin.

"Good you're alive. That was some crazy stunts you tried to pull earlier, Yoko-san. How you feelin'?"

That had been a freaky night, but everyone onboard was accounted for and whole. For now. Going back to sleep right now was out of the question, and Minari made her rounds checking the injuries of everyone who had been rescued. As well as those doing the rescuing. "Blasted spooky shit..." she grunted...

He nodded with thanks and a smile "Hida Daichi, I guess you could say a little column A a little column B. I grew up around here but haven't been by in about six or so years. Back in town to watch my brother trade in kimonos." He said with a chuckle "Oh, I see. Well, congratulations I guess on your...

Having greeted his sister Daichi hears the Moshi call of alcohol and is immediately headed that way. "More encouraging words are rarely heard!" The big Hida bellowed as he approached the Moshi and the freshly opened drinks. He smiled bright at the small woman "Hida Daichi, anyone who throws a party...

Unceremoniously, Minari rejoined the others on the boat, resisting the urge to flip off the Crab on her way up the plank. "Bloody wankers, the lot of them." She had been looking forward to an extended stay in Crab lands, some shore-leave, some drinking... overall a relaxing experience, but it seemed...

Having arranged for the good weather, Minari was there too, giving a brief bow to the arriving lady of the castle and her retinue. "Plenty of drinks to be had, everyone." She made sure to pop open some bottles for everyone to help themselves to. Man, Meiko's illusions were almost making her homesick...

Minari reacted. Something was very very wrong. Whatever was trying to lure people out to sea didn't fool her. That was not the voice of the sea she knew. "Hida's fucking balls," she said, seeing what was happening. Members of the crew trying to seemingly sleepwalking off the ship and into the water....

Yay!

Party will likely be up a bit later.

At work and its busy. So kinda stretched thin.

Can't have the weather ruining our party, you know.

Minari didn't like the look of the weather when she had awoken that morning. Sure, it had looked fine then, but she was experienced to know the small signs. And then she could notice rainclouds coming, and the way the tides were moving... yes, as someone who slept on a boat, she had no intention of ...

Let's say 2 Void and slots.

Done.


*expends 2 Void and 2 Spell slots*

Yoritomo Shugenja Technique Child of the Seas: You may expend one spell slot to alter the wind conditions in your current location by one degree. If you also spend a Void Point, you may instead shift the entire weather status one degree. You may expend a maximum combined total of spell slots and/or...

Masao smiles, unsurprised by the answer. He shakes his head as the soldier voice continues: "It is amazing how proper people assume every Crane must be. Perhaps I wasn't clear about my own desire to avoid courts. Limited success, but strong desire." "What is the appealing intensity of a ship? Havin...

She grunted with displeasure at Yoko's treatment. It was going to be tempting to literally rain on the parade of the Crabs after today. "Honestly, captain, shit like this is going way beyond usual Crab hospitality. If they're pulling off stunts like this with the Crane as well, that wedding is gonna...

Masao keeps his voice low, in confidence: "One of the great reasons to not be a courtier, in my experience, is to avoid having to always be pleased by the whims of the court's lord." He smiles, perhaps a little more broadly than he should, but with the fan as it is, only Minari might notice. In a m...

If you haz coins, Moshi has healz.

Having seen a bit more of the act, or the attempt at it, Masao gets a better grasp of what is happening. Not sure exactly who he's helping, but feeling somehow that it's the right thing to do... "Moshi-san," he says, in the calm voice of a soldier around the campfire. "My apologies for that little....
