D10 MM - A lot going on (Open to Crab)

[Yasuki Masaki]

That seems to be the plan. I... think I have an idea thst might work for tomorrow's festival. I'll have to see if we could do it, and figure out some details.

Then, turning to Masahiko. "We would need some Jade powder as well if possible, Kaiu-dono. Easier to hide."

[Kaiu Masahiko]

"Cool thing about jade is it's made out of jade powder. Have at it, Yasuki-san."

[Hiruma Daichi]

It seemed rather unreliable, but Daichi nodded anyways. He'd kept quiet in the part of the conversation anyways.

"If you need any help let me know. I'm not sure I'm up for another art project this season but I can atheist keep an eye out."

[Yasuki Masaki]

A bow to Masahiko. "Thank you, Kaiu-dono. I'll try to make it something likely to attract at least a fair number of people to try it."

She nods to Daichi then. "And thanks for the offer, Hiruma-sama. I'll let you know."

To both of them, then, a somewhat sheepish smile on her face.

"If nothing comes of it... we might want other ideas to be more certain that any risks are not being overlooked. So it might be a good idea to keep brainstorming if anyone else has ideas or suggestions."

[Hiruma Daichi]

"Powdered jade in the food served at the banquet hall?" Daichi offered in a way that said he knew that wouldn't fly.

"Dusting the courtroom with it would likely be impossible too. I suppose if we figured out a way to inadvertently sprinkle it on people?"

[Kaiu Masahiko]

"Could do confetti in the devil chase, but that's quite some time away."

[Yasuki Masaki]

"Could do confetti in the devil chase, but that's quite some time away."

"Hm. If nothing else works before then, late is better than never, I suppose. But... apologies, Kuni-dono, as this is my first winter court, could you explain what the devil chase is so we might think of a plan if it comes to that?"

[Kaiu Masahiko]

"It's a parade where the mightiest priest at court drives away the devils and fell spirits with special attributes from Isawa himself so that the year can be an auspicious one. Usually an Elemental Master does the presiding, but could be any number of folks this year."

[Yasuki Masaki]

"It's a parade where the mightiest priest at court drives away the devils and fell spirits with special attributes from Isawa himself so that the year can be an auspicious one."

"Hm... does Kaiu-dono have a guess of who the presider might be this year? And... how we might make such confetti happen with the least risk of... let's say 'diplomatic incidents'?"

[Hiruma Daichi]

"Could it beLady Seppun for instance?" Daichi asked raising an eyebrow questioningly. "Or maybe just someone else we can trust?"

[Kaiu Masahiko]

"I haven't the faintest idea. There will likely be a test to determine the most powerful shugenja who is willing to participate."

[Hiruma Daichi]

"Well if our priest is going to be throwing jade confetti around I suppose we have to make sure the one we want wins. Unless we can just add it in with none the wiser." Daichi replied thoughtfully.

[Kaiu Masahiko]

"The Chaser usually has her hands full with the bow and shield, but others in the crowd can throw stuff. Usually do. Rice and things."

[Yasuki Masaki]

"The Chaser usually has her hands full with the bow and shield, but others in the crowd can throw stuff. Usually do. Rice and things."

"Hm... so rice and things may include some pieces of Jade, then. It could work..." A slightly uncomfortable smile. "I can't help but wonder what we would hear if we were to throw Jade up in the air like that back home, but it could work."
