OOC Chat 1

[Doji Shinnosuke]

As a gesture toward #2: I sure would like to bring Matsu Tsuruyo and Shiba Higashime out more, but I haven't really been feeling it. Maybe someone's got an idea that they'd like to explore with them?

I took Tsuruyo as an ally and I would be delighted/intrigued to take her out for a drink/tea/ride in the wilderness/whatever, either alone or with other PCs, and See What Happens. If that would amuse you and you have the bandwidth for it.

edit: I know I'm not the fastest poster but I also would love to throw Shin at other PCs I haven't met yet. I swear I'm not being standoffish, I'm just old (figuratively at least?) and tired.

[Shiba Ryusei]

I would volunteer Ryusei for Higashime, but... their relationship isn't exactly one where she'd open up

This has been a diffierent game for me from my usual marathon hyper-focus, but I also feel like Ryusei basically hasn't met half of the court or done any serious politicking.
(Too busy canoodling and making trade deals!)

[Doji Arai]

On my end, I do have a Matsu sworn enemy, but the Matsu daimyo does like Arai due to a previous event. I kinda only post for events since I made my character in haste and I'm not super excited to play her, but if there's anything there to be explored, I'm totally on board for that.

[Agasha Yuna]

I am excited to have more slots I can just use for fun social scenes getting to know PCs. Looking forward to more hangout RP.

[Shiba Ryusei]

Oh yeah, if anyone wants to be annoyed or have a double date, I'm sure Ryusei and Yuna could be persuaded

This can be arranged at your convenience.

This reminds me I let a scene with Shin and Jinkan slide through the cracks between busy Monday and most of my focus going to the art festival since then... will try and get back to it if you're game!

[Shiba Ryusei]

In the debate for lord Baisho's heir, can I support my own words with a second roll/statement?

I very much like that the debate there seems to mostly be, "Look, it's Noriko or Tomaru, and we could honestly live with either one, but here's *our* choice..."

[Kitsu Sayomi]

But what about the ronin...?

[Shiba Ryusei]

But what about the ronin...?

Who?

Jokes aside, Ryusei can't really make a case for him under the law, which is what Higashime cares about

[Asahina Hoshiko]

Given that the Emperor who sired him should have been a regent, not an emperor, and he didn't acknowledge the kid while alive. The legal case is slim.

Throwing some dice at that one tonight makes sense for Hoshiko.

[Kitsu Sayomi]

A part of me wants to support Tatsuya because "underdog storyline!"... but yeah, as Hoshiko points out, his claim is very slim.

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

Yeah, I suppose a ronin could never become Emperor, but I've grown attached to Tatsuya since doing the secret mission to bring him back. I can see he's a long shot, but I'd like bringing Tatsuya to Winter Court to mean something.

It may just be tilting at windmills though!

[Doji Shinnosuke]

Let’s adopt him into one of the clans and make him the next Emerald Champion or something?

[Jihen]

The 'lost son' of the heavens...?

[Fukurokujin]

Make the Miya do it.
They're bored.

"Man, Seppun and Otomo get to have heirs. Why can't I have someone making my life materially harder? Miya plays second fiddle again."

He got a little taste when the kid he helped put through school had a humiliating first presentation in front of him at court.

With as much leg-day as that man gets, that can is gone.

I think there are avenues to work even if he doesn't get the throne...
