Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

Such a weird day needed further confirmation. Saisei goes jogging around the training field to check if Yuuwaku would repeat the same actions she did yesterday, too.

Feeling pulled, somehow, Yuuwaku makes her way to the training grounds.

Seeing Sasei there, she bows.

"How is your arm today, Otomo-san?" she asks.

He stops, and checks his arm. Clearly it healed, too fast. Along with his sleeve being completely mended as if never been cut. The young man narrows his eyes, wondering why Yukosho didn't notice, but Yuuwaku did.

Saisei looks back at her with his eyes narrowed, and murmurs to himself, "There's no cut. It could have possibly healed, as I said. But the kimono sleeve. I wore it all day. Only if someone magically fixed it when I was sleeping."

The young man snaps out and then bows back to her, "Forgive me. It has been a weird day. My arm looks fine. How is Kakita-sama doing?"

Yuuwaku nods.

"Deja vu all day?"

He nods, saying, "Not... quite. Kakita-sama acted differently. But others, did not."

"Yes. I've noticed that."

She looks about, lifts her fan to shield their talk.

"We are repeating the day. Some of us know. Others do not."

Her eyes are wide. "I do not understand this, Otomo-san."

He looks around to check the Crab training. Indeed it all looked the same. Perhaps some variations?

The Otomo nods to Yuuwaku, and checks her fan as a way to move closer and whisper. "Neither do I understand. I only know we need to fix this. It is a curse for sure. Toritaka-san mentioned the placed is cursed. A girl that was mistreated and drowned, or something. I was nearly dragged underwater by something in the pool yesterday."

"That is a disturbing thought," Yuuwaku says.

"We need to gather information and compare notes. Something will emerge, I am certain."

He nods, adding, "Indeed. We need to align on a place to meet up, so we know we are fully aware when the day passes. Somewhere different than here. Perhaps in another time. Then we can exchange more info of what's going on."

With that, he begins to stretch out a bit.

"Early evening seems an auspicious time for such things," Yuuwaku replies. "And perhaps at the noodle vendor you mentioned?"

She begins to stretch, as well. Seems a good time for it.

"I haven't forgot that one, and was saving it. I was wondering we could bring more people that are similarly minded. Don't want that to be in the way of a peaceful meal."

He smirks, taking off haori and kimono after the stretch to begin some push ups.

Yuuwaku nods amid a series of squats.

"Then perhaps midmorning at the Blue Bird House?"

She shakes her head slightly.

"Inventive naming, certainly."

He chuckles at the remark and loses some of his own momentum as he lifts his head to reply looking at Yuuwaku. "Eto..."

"Hai!" Saisei nods and looks back to the floor to complete his set, focused.

Yuuwaku moves from squats to goodmornings. It's important to strengthen the back muscles, after all. Without a sound core, the rest of it...less important, certainly.

Saisei thought about jogging around, but something inspired him to say in place and do some jumping jacks.

Yuuwaku spares him more than a glance amid his calisthenics.

It's usually my bouncing, such as it is, that attracts attention. But he is not badly built, she thinks.

And she, herself, switches to lengthening stretches.

He presses his lips as his tactics didn't work as planned. It should be nearly impossible to resist going along with jumping jacks once someone starts it. Rolling his shoulders a bit, he makes more time to politely observe her lengthening. Then, he mentions, "Should we try again, today?"

She smiles a bit.

"Only if Otomo-san is certain his arm is well. And to the first touch again?"

"I meant jogging." He cracks a laugh.

Yuuwaku joins him in the laughter.

"I will try to keep up. Lead the way, Otomo-san!"

"At least on that one I might have a chance and win some." He keeps laughing and starts to jog at her pace.

Yuuwaku falls in with him, noting that he has slowed himself to match her.

But there are other areas in which I beat him cleanly, she thinks. A grin spreads across her face, Or less so.

"Need we compete, Otomo-san? I think we would do far better working together than against."

"A friendly rivalry is always welcomed. Is it not?" He turns to her and starts jogging backwards, "It makes us all want to strive to become better, and the honorable learn how to admire the ones that inspire them to greatness."

"I would scarcely think to rival you," Yuuwaku replies. "But mind the dips, if you do not look where you go!"

"I would be no rival to Kakita-sama. Although, striving to be better is something I would do for her admiration." He mentions and turns around to keep the jog.

"We only learn to rise after we fall." The young man mentions, a tad more serious.
