Re: OOC Chat 1
I have a romantic weakness for the flowing stream/winding water/whatever you call it poetry contest trope and I'm so delighted to see it show up in a game (run by someone who isn't me!).

If your name is Jihen, you begin 20 feet away from the battle, because you live in the Shrine Complex.

Can I stand in the next room and hand out VP?
Or moralize them into retreating?
That’s the extent of my usefulness there.

Selflessly throw your body between the invaders and the heirs to the royal blood?
Or get a reputation in the temple as an impressively deep sleeper, I guess.

Hey it's not Shiro Hiruma. No combats are mandatory (so far). And it's been established that it'd be insulting to our hosts to assume they can't protect their guests AND the Seppun are watching all the heirs like a hawk.

Re: OOC Chat 1
Terribly sorry, everyone. I am having a little bit of an anxious day (you know the ones where sounds seems three or four times as loud as they ought to be and you can't sit down?), so I would appreciate it if we arranged for a thread that I have not replied to, you would send me (not the NPC in question) a pm. That way I can be sure. This is not an all-the-time-thing, just for up to now.

Re: OOC Chat 1
I have to share this very odd thing Google image search turned up... it appears to be a card from a Pokemon-like cardgame in which a bunch of pet monsters are having a Winding Water Banquet(?).

Clearly we should have invited these guys, they look like they know how to party...

Look, you shouldn't have agreed to his fan variant of go that involves rolling dice. And when he slapped down a Uno Reverse card, you really should've protested.
