First time playing a game of letters, any idea how to make a letter of greeting?

Ikoma Tanji takes a moment to look around the room and casually try to figure out who's who. After finding the right opportunity to try to schmooze one of the VIPs, he manages to catch Kaiu Masahiko walking to sit down for a while. He then introduces himself briefly and talks about some writing that...

Is Kaiu Masahito a kaiu engineer, and thus an artisan?

D1 MM: Tea Ceremony tn 15 | 3k3 ⇒ 24 (TN: 15)
Void point recovered

The tea ceremony has no special frills, something similar to the theme of old school memories.

"Aye, a good balance is important to everyone. How things return to such balance, however, are the parts that make life worth living. Fire to force the water to move, earth to give the water texture, air to temper, and void to connect them all." (Do you want to roll, or shall I?)

Realizing a little too late that he forgot to even mention his name, he takes a second to center himself. "Lovely to hear, always a good thing to take time out of one's schedule to slow things down either way. I am Ikoma Tanji, Imperial Scribe coming back from Otosan Uchi."

"Bonfires are a good thing when you know what you're doing, but I've seen many a good comrade suffer the consequences of not respecting the dangers it presents." A kettle of plain water comes out along with a pot of matcha. "If they find the ways to cool their heads and find the right moment, I am s...

"I would like to think so too. So much for being the young blood of the party, there's quite a few up and comers at this court. Excuse me, where are my manners? Would you like to join me for a while. There should be a kettle coming shortly."

(ooc, totally did not think through my response properly. Was going through the motions for introducing, then directly addressed the internal thoughts without realizing it wouldn't have been something my character would have directly known. Then realized I was dominating convo with my wall of text. ...

D1 MM Tea and Biscuits . . . : Fluff roll, how well does Ikoma Tanji recognize the scorpion who's familiar with the grounds.

Noticing the others are welcoming him into their conversation, he completes the prayers before addressing the conversation. He gives a proper bow, using the time to read their faces properly. "I would indeed, thank you Asako-san. Now, Asahina-san, there is quite a lot of history in these halls and w...

Anyone want to meet with this "old man" over tea? I don't have any skill, but I've got 3 kept dice. :lol: I have EM-MM and ME-LE free if you want. Sounds good, how does MM in the kitchen area sound? Put the kettle on, old man :) https://windrise.fallenash.com/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=436 feel free to j...

After a typical Lion gathering, Ikoma Tanji was getting a little nostalgic for the school days. So he decided to step into the kitchens and politely ask for a kettle and some rice balls with the red bean paste in the middle. Just thinking about it brings back memories of when his neck was still perf...

Is there a way to pay for a tea ceremony with some of the local business?

Having made his rounds with the offerings, his thoughts clogged with the obligations and expectations. He sighs to himself as he steps into another shrine, but then as he opens his eyes, is glad to find a distraction in new faces that he recognizes as delegates from the gift giving ceremony. He wait...

Likely near the front of the line, Ikoma Tanji has done this often enough for the first set of questions to be rote to him. "Ikoma Tanji of House Suitai, Imperial Scribe in the service of the West Lion Embassy, I oversee the missives and filter articles of importance for my supervisors. I have exper...

For the Meet the Daimyo events, do raises matter?

Just want to confirm since I have Imperial Scribe, if the artisan tag is not explicitly listed, the Imperial Scribe bonus would not apply unless they were a shugenja.
