[The ikebana has been lovely, actually. Maybe Ryoichi will be kind enough to post it to ooc chat for folks to enjoy?] "Well, that will do us for today. Court will resume tomorrow, same time, same place. Take care, everybody!" Court Points Yasuki Ryoichi: 90 points (Tatsuya) Agasha Yuna: 80 points (T...

"Alrighty, then. The court will now entertain gifts, because I am told we have to. Please come forth and present them."

"And so we will."

"What's next?"

"Then I see no reason to contest the matter further. The treaty is approved, with the stipulation that an Imperial Physician be appointed by the Seppun. Let's get on to the next thing."

"Huh. Okay. Comments on that?"

"But the Seppun are included in this treaty, Yasuki-san. Is the point that you want an Imperial Physician on top of this?"

Kozume looks up from where he is treating Shigehiko.

"Kid, you ever been in a war? I mean a real scrap with another house or clan?"

"The court is happy to accept this deal. What's next?"

"Exchanges of ideas are good things. The court accepts whatever that's all about. What's next?"

"Right, well, I'm told the court is pleased at these peace agreements, so that sounds like it's all to the good. We accept that treaty."

"What's next?"

Meanwhile, Kozume has begun to dress Shigehiko's wound himself. Medicine/Intelligence, 3 raises | 9k4 ⇒ 66 (TN: 30)

Medicine wound recovered | 6k3 ⇒ 20

"Hey! Hit, I said!" Hida Kozume looks more than a little angry as he strides onto the pitch. "What in the name of Bishamon's Bouncing Tits was that? You! Kamoshita! Honorless cur, get off the field! Your people may tend your wound, if they can stomach the sight of you, but you're not welcome in thes...

"Hit!" Hida Kozume calls.

A few moments later, Kozume raises his hand. "This here duel is between Akodo-ke no kashin Shimomura Shigehiko and Ikoma-ke no kashin Kamoshita Kinuyo for the honor of the House of Shimomura." There's a pause as Kozume leans in a little closer to his notes. "And Lord Gorobei, it looks like. Huh. Any...

Kozume knew better than to get between Moshi Akane and an agreement. "That looks alright to me. I'm happy if you're happy."

"What's next?"

"Well, looks like that's a fine deal between the two of you." Kozume said, his eyes unglazing after a moment.

"What's next?"

The gathering on the river's edge seemed a little somber, given what had happened just last night. The gathered samurai, almost all from the Lion clan, for obvious reasons, clustered around the small patch of earth that had been set aside for this purpose. Standing at the center of the pitch, his ar...

"Guess not. What's next?"

"Well, alright then. Are there folks that disagree with this deal?" Kozume asked, jerking his thumb at Kenji.

"Thanks, Yasuki-san. So, given the testimony of the two dead Ikoma what did for the 1st of the miscreants and the dead Seppun, whose honor I am sure Soshi-san does not mean to spit on, speaking out of not-knowing-about-that as he was and probably not earnin' a duel out of it on account of that reaso...
