Well I've pretty much checked out this one without ever really being here. Guess it's time to make the drop official.

Bye folks.

Minase felt obliged to not only turn up and watch but give the . . . taller than her 'little' Ikoma some encouragement before her big moment. "Asahina-sama!!! I am so ready for this. I could have talked all night I was so pumped after yesterday." Minase smiled up at the over-enthusiastic Lion as pol...

Shinnosuke also observes for a while. "Rather a complicated story, indeed. Which I suppose is about right for the Phoenix Clan," he adds, lips quirking behind his fan. "I wonder what the human Phoenix will think of all that allegory? Are the Crab offering them some advice?" "I would hope not. Shiba...

"Oh, we should look at the work of our hosts first, shouldn't we?" Shinnosuke suggests, discreetly shortening his stride as he wanders over toward the Phoenix-themed exhibition by the Crab courtiers. "Yasuki Masaki-san did such a lot of work to bring this event to birth." If one doesn't have especi...

"It's played the Thunder Dragon once or twice," Shin says, punctuating with a modest flick of his open fan, "but of course it really can't compare to some of fine old masks the Golden Spring troupe has of that type. I suppose you could call it a prototype; I'd like to do a better one, one of these ...

"Asahina-san! No wonder you wouldn't let us see what you were at work on." Shinnosuke grins as he strolls up to Minase from behind. "That is really a remarkable piece." The words are understated, but from one artisan to another, sincere respect would shine through. She turned away from her observat...

And here I thought we could sell the Gaijin Goods as hard-tack to the Mantis.

Is that . . . dwarf bread?

Her art displayed, Minase now took a deep breath and became one of the most feared Crane adversaries possible.

An Art Critic.

/expecting

Will the Authorities! (ie the Imps) be 'acquiring' the art exhibition pieces after it is complete, or are the creators free to gift them as they will? (or sell if they're that commerce inclined.)

After her disastrous intervention into Lion schooling earlier in the day, Minase was now back on firmer ground. The firmest ground of all maybe. Her piece was placed in the area reserved for art evoking the spirit of the Dragon Clan. A pair of painted umbrellas. One with exquisite art of a snowy mou...

This all said, 17 of those dice did allow me to roll out the Failpost machine. Been a while since I needed that.

Blame Togashi, he rolled a 100 and Sakkaku collapsed

GM dice OP.

It is known.

Minase was actually feeling very charitable, and after having seen the Lion Clan do their utmost to serve and run this court smoothly without much recognition, decided to help out the small Ikoma children. Well mostly small, the one she chose to help actually turned out to be slightly taller than he...

Oh no . . . doublepost.


i've rolled 27 dice on Sakkaku today, only 1 has exploded. I think the times of plenty are over.

How many spirits can one guy get possessed by?

Good evening. I've been hired to stare at you until either you, or your possessors gets scared enough to leave.

I forgot about this. No Kakita Artisan is going to miss the chance to show off . . . i mean honourably exhibit items.

Dragon hmmmmmm

Goes to examine roof tiles for inspiration . . .

A chance to sing and dance and now cavort around the stage as the 'Smollest demon of all'. TY Shin-kun!!!


And yes, Sakkuku has been very generous . . . like it's building up to let us down on actually important rolls later.

>_>

<_<

Now this was more like the acting she'd done at the Academy. Small parts for the small girl . . . . . . . . starting first as one of the retainers dressed in fine and sparkling courtly dress and then a rapid costume change into the demented garb of the 'smollest demon'. She pulled off both parts wit...

My rolls are done and I didn't take any of the blessings so actual non artisan characters can use them.

The smaller of the two celestial sisters graces the stage with slow and practised movements as if she'd done this dance a thousand times and not just learnt it in the last few days. Her stand out piece is the song though, the voice coming from behind the mask providing a the celestial sister just th...
