Hantei Dave: well, where were we. as far as I know, you all just sat down
Togashi Udon: yes
KibagamiKuno: yes
Keshijo: Bowed deeply first
Hida Oku: yeah
Hantei Dave: ok, only some of the Hantei's personal Seppun Guards are here
 Hantei Dave: The courtier informs the Hantei of the incident
Hantei Dave: you listen
Hantei Dave: The Hantei is very angry!!!
Hantei Dave: "Where did this samurai get his weapons! Bring the Master of Weapons!!!
Hantei Dave: The courtier runs out
Keshijo: I wait for the proper moment and apologize for using a weapon in the palace.
Hantei Dave: ...as does a Seppun guard
Hantei Dave: Keshijo: now?
Keshijo: Bushido roll?
Keshijo: I got a 20..
Hantei Dave: keshijo: now seems good
Hantei Dave: He is standing cause he is so angry
Hantei Dave: the Master of Weapons runs into the room and falls into a prostrate
Hantei Dave: at the door
Hantei Dave: oops....keshijo: ask first
Togashi Udon: Something is wrong with the Wa in this room. Hantei are you in danger?
Hantei Dave: He looks at Udon with wild angry eyes.
Hantei Dave: AM I NOT YOUR LORD!? AM I NOT THE EMPOROR OF ALL OF ROKUGGAN! HOW INSILENT TO ADRESS ME IN SUCH A WAY!!!
KibagamiKuno: Prostrate self: "Forgive us Hantei, we only wish to protect our beloved emperor from the evils of the world"
Togashi Udon: gulp, yes, I do so, as Kuno instructd
Hantei Dave: He walks to Udon (I suggest using your mu right now Udon)
Togashi Udon: k
Hida Oku: (and I thought I had bad manners)
Hantei Dave: He is looming above you (looking like Lo Pan I also add)
Togashi Udon: (woops)
Togashi Udon: what should i roll
KibagamiKuno: (lighting bolts and all?)
Hantei Dave: I, the sun of the Moon and the Sun can have you excuted before your buddha!
Hantei Dave: skip: roll 3d6 + mu + presense
Hantei Dave: already added of course in the AV
Hantei Dave: SEPPUN GUARD: shall I have him dealt with my Lord (proper name)
Hantei Dave: ?
Togashi Udon: My life is yours Lord Hantei-sama. I ment no disrespect. I was insolent because I feared for you. I submit myself to your mercy. (29)
Hantei Dave: hehehe....I think Udon is sweating
Hantei Dave: He face relaxes slightly... "know your place. If you worship the gods than know that one day I will be in the heavens watching"
Hantei Dave: He goes back to sit
Hida Oku: <heheh>
Hantei Dave: "NOW!!! Speak Seppun weapon master!"
Hantei Dave: He hasn't moved from his prostrate position
KibagamiKuno: (unprostrate, keeping eyes pointed at floor)
Hantei Dave: actually, the Weapon Master asn't moved....
KibagamiKuno: (i meant me, not him)
Hantei Dave: "Do you not answer when your Lord commands it dog?!
Hantei Dave: "GUARDS!!! Pull this worm to his feet!"
Hantei Dave: for those of you who look up, a pool of blood has formed under the weapon master's kimono
KibagamiKuno: color?
Hantei Dave: Hantei rises, "By Amaterasu!"
Hantei Dave: Kuno: red
Hantei Dave: The guard lifts his torso and blood runs from his mouth
Hantei Dave: Guard: "He has bitten off his tonue my Lord
Togashi Udon: grab the hilt of my tanto
Hida Oku: NO! TOGASHI!
Hida Oku: keep his hand where it is
Hantei Dave: O_O
Hantei Dave: you what?!
Togashi Udon: hand is at side
Hantei Dave: rethink that sir
Togashi Udon: hand is a t side
Hantei Dave: ALL THE GUARDS PULL THEIR KATANA'S and run infront of Hantei
Togashi Udon: (god i need diplomacy)
KibagamiKuno: i step away for a moment and look what the monk does...
Hantei Dave: ummm...better talk quick Udon. Your Mu is cancelled
KibagamiKuno: now we know why they don't get to carry swords! ;-)
Hantei Dave: heeheh
Togashi Udon: i do nothing my hand is at my side
Hantei Dave: touching the hilt?
Togashi Udon: no
Hantei Dave: They still felt your action
Hantei Dave: it was obvious
Togashi Udon: course not, everyone freaked, so i stopped freakin
Hantei Dave: well, say something!
Keshijo: I calmly ask the monk to raise his empty hands. I apologize to the emporer for the monk's touching a weapon in his presence, explaining he is a simple monk untrained in the ways of the court.
Togashi Udon: My apologise, I am very unsettled by all that has traspired
Hantei Dave: you have honosty as a compl i'll remind you too
Togashi Udon: i a being honest
Togashi Udon: am
Togashi Udon: look at all that has just happened... my monk (and me) are edgey
Keshijo: I bow deeply
Hantei Dave: "Strip him" says hantei
Togashi Udon: i comply
Hantei Dave: no, the guards do it
Togashi Udon: course
Hantei Dave: skip, your character loses a kharma point
Togashi Udon: k
KibagamiKuno: I do not look at the naked monk.
Keshijo: Did my speech help the emporer's mood at all?
Togashi Udon: (sorry guys)
Hantei Dave: Skip: it was this kharama point that allows you to keep the name Togashi
Hida Oku: <shakes head>
Togashi Udon: ugh...yes Hantei
Hantei Dave: "You will sit there naked. It is for my own purposes that you live monk"
Hantei Dave: "I cannot have the Empire thinking the "chosen ones" including me are false
Hantei Dave: (and they took your tree sinse you are naked)
Hantei Dave: of course
Hantei Dave: Hantei: Now...as I said a great evil is looming above Rokugan
Hantei Dave: it is profisied in the appearence of the 9 blades
Hantei Dave: The missing tanto's must be found!
Hantei Dave: ...and it is this mission I charge to you all
Hantei Dave: find the owners of the missing tanto's!
Hantei Dave: it seems a darkness brews in Pheonix Lands. That may be a good place to start investigations
Hantei Dave: Now leave the palace! All of you! And give that wretch some tattered robes and his little tree. We must maintain the atmosphere!"
Hantei Dave: "Get out!"
Hida Oku: <bow, exit hastily>
Keshijo: I bow and leave.
KibagamiKuno: bow bow bow bow bow (till out of room)
Keshijo: I do not turn my back to him.
Togashi Udon: bow and leave tring not to upset anyone
Hantei Dave: hahahahhahaha! that was great!!!!
Hantei Dave: good one Udon
Togashi Udon: gee thanks
Hantei Dave: Happy Birthday
Keshijo: I smack udon when we are out of sight.
Hida Oku: Udon: Fool, next time you plan on almost getting us all killed, let me know, so that I can fix the problem before it starts!
Togashi Udon: yup, i'll remember that
Hantei Dave: (I'm crying here)
Hida Oku: <thru grit teeth>
KibagamiKuno: "next time you grab a tanto, apply to belly before anyone thinks otherwise"
Hantei Dave: someone please save this script
Togashi Udon: (fuck me)
KibagamiKuno: i've been saving them
Keshijo: done
Keshijo: I apologize to Udon for smacking him.
Hantei Dave: anyway, I don't care where you guys go now. You can discuss it a bit
Togashi Udon: i deserved it
KibagamiKuno: skip - it just goes down in the history books. Next time we have a flashback session, I'll be sure to remind you about the time you insulted the emperor TWICE
Hantei Dave: as you are assisted from the most beautiful Palace in the Empire
Togashi Udon: what do i have?
Hantei Dave: and they let you get your stuff
Togashi Udon: k
Togashi Udon: tanto?
Hantei Dave: everyone has their tantos ..you too wise one
Hantei Dave: you really need bushido
Hantei Dave: lol
Hida Oku: so, it looks like I have something to do with you charletons...
Hantei Dave: says Oku
 KibagamiKuno: Hida-san, You speak as if you've traded places with Yoshi. Did his "nobility" wear off on you?
Hantei Dave: otherwise it would be gone
Togashi Udon: oh, thank you Hantei-sama
Keshijo: There is something fouler than a darkness in the Phoenix lands. However, it seems to be our only lead.
Hantei Dave: the kharma wheel made it so that it didn't enter his mind to take your name
KibagamiKuno: Good, otherwise we'd only be able to call you noodle for the rest of the game
Togashi Udon: what freaked me out was that there was a huge disturbance of the Wa in there
Hantei Dave: The Pheonix adventure is the one I have in mind...but it is a loose story anyway. Pick whatever excites you
Togashi Udon: i thought he was in danger
Hida Oku: Kuno... take that back now, or prepare to back up that remark
Hantei Dave: you might wanna look at the rokugan map or see if any friends could help you
Hantei Dave: Udon: say that to everyone
Togashi Udon: i did
KibagamiKuno: Hida-san, are you similarly prepared to retract your naming us charlatans?
Togashi Udon: court customs did not enter my mind
Togashi Udon: yu two. please be calm, I am the only one allowed to get us in trouble
Hida Oku: Because you are lion, I take back the remark
Hida Oku: <heh>
KibagamiKuno: Hida-san, then i have no quarrel with you. [bows]
Keshijo: Udon-sama, I will endeavor to teach you Bushido.
Keshijo: It should help you with these decisions.
Hantei Dave: Ways of war are forbidden to monks
Togashi Udon: Thank you very much Keshijo-sama (bows deeply)
Hantei Dave: ^_-
Togashi Udon: oh
Hantei Dave: but maybe you should learn anyway
Togashi Udon: hows about some diplomacy
Hantei Dave: that might help
Hantei Dave: i think you learned enough diplomacy today
Keshijo: Bushido is a code of conduct. It has non-war applications.
KibagamiKuno: Manners for Samurai interaction and manners in the art of war are only some of the many parts of Bushido; find the peaceful paths to teach
Hantei Dave: Keshijo: it was created by samurai to which everything is war
Hantei Dave: although it applies in life too
KibagamiKuno: Though is war applied peacefully to life not still war?
Keshijo: Keshijo's thoughts exactly.
Togashi Udon: That would benifit me greatly in viewing different prespectives of life in Ryoken. It might help lead me to enlightenment.
Hantei Dave: so, you guys should get rooms....assuming you took wealth as a perk...and Oku should rest
Hida Oku: yup
Hantei Dave: Kuno: it is the big samurai paradox
Togashi Udon: wealth and poverty... looks like i'll find a tree ;-)
Keshijo: I will try to provide for those who cannot afford accomodations.
Hantei Dave: Udon: I think buddha will forgive a bed
KibagamiKuno: I will take Udon, Keshijo will you take Oku?
Keshijo: If Oku-sama and Udon-sama agree.
Hantei Dave: (Kuno attempting to split up a feud)
Togashi Udon: Thank you Kuno-sama
KibagamiKuno: Togashi-san, it is the least i can do for so memorable an evening.
Hantei Dave: hehehe
Hida Oku: take me where?
Hida Oku: I need no escort
Togashi Udon: i am glad that i can provide for your memories.
Hida Oku: especially not from a scorpion
Hantei Dave: The city of Otosan Iuchi has many many inns....most come complete with prostitutes
Hantei Dave: people argue to get you into a room
Keshijo: I do not wish to be an escort, merely provide a room.
Hantei Dave: of course, all prostitutes are registered and under the care of someone
Keshijo: If you do not wish my help I will not be insulted.
Togashi Udon: (i dont belive i insulted the emporor...twice)
Hida Oku: do we all have to leave the palace
Hida Oku: ?
Hantei Dave: if someone wants more than there are always geisha houses
Togashi Udon: (buddha for give me)
Hantei Dave: Oku: yep
Hantei Dave: Hantei's orders
KibagamiKuno: I believe i need additional entertainment. One cannot come down too fast from such festivities. Where can a Geisha house be found?
Hantei Dave: all over. It is kind of expensive but a wealth of 2 is fine
Togashi Udon: we should not travel alone, kuno-san
Hida Oku: ah
Togashi Udon: alone
Hida Oku: <grumble>
Hantei Dave: do you bring your guest Kuno-san?
Hida Oku: then I will accept your room
Keshijo: Kuno: We should decide upon a meeting place for the morning.
Hida Oku: <smack Udon again>
KibagamiKuno: Agreed Togashi-san, and this is our last chance (and maybe your first) to see the finest Geisha in the kingdom.
Hida Oku: ah, kuno... now you are talking!
KibagamiKuno: We will let them dance and sing and tell us good stories all night!
Hantei Dave: You can all meet for breakfast if you want
Hantei Dave: at a particular restaurant
KibagamiKuno: I know of a particular rice house that I would not recommend.
Togashi Udon: i would not be comfortable at a giesha house...
Hantei Dave: does Oku and Keshijo goto the geisha house too?
Hida Oku: yes
Hantei Dave: keshijo?
Hantei Dave: kuno: heheh
Keshijo: I shall find a room to stay in. A mystic probably shouldn't spend much time with geisha's.
KibagamiKuno: Togashi-san, you are uncomfortable enough for two geisha houses, one alone will help you relax for tomorrows tasks
Togashi Udon: if it is ok with Kuno-sama and KEshijo-sama, I would prefer to stay with Keshijo in the room, please. Geishas make me uncomfortable.
KibagamiKuno: There is nothing improper about the arts of the finer half of humanity.
Keshijo: I am fine with that.
Togashi Udon: well.. true i suppose...
Hantei Dave: (you are all walking towards a geisha house as you talk)
Keshijo: Udon-sama's proposal.
Hantei Dave: looks like the Lion and Crab will get along after all
Togashi Udon: Thanks Keshijo-sama. I will try not to get you killed tomorrow.
Keshijo: That is all I ask.
KibagamiKuno: As you wish, Hida-san let us find our way inside
Keshijo: Oku, Kuno, I trust the two of you will not slay each other?
Hantei Dave: ok. 2 goto geisha house where they are each servised by one geisha and 2 in training
KibagamiKuno: we need more sake, first, then we'll see.
Hida Oku: I'll drink to that
Hantei Dave: and by serviced I mean, Oku is bandaged while Kuno's feet are washed
Hantei Dave: with lotsa sake
Hantei Dave: not as foot wash but to drink
KibagamiKuno: (worried about that, i don't need drunk feet)
Togashi Udon: and by bandaged you mean???
KibagamiKuno: white pieces of cloth, i suspect.
Hantei Dave: that open wound from the sword
Hantei Dave: or did he totally hael you?
Hantei Dave: heal
Togashi Udon: i did 10 points to your 14
KibagamiKuno: I spend the night trading bawdy jokes with the geisha and singing karaoke without a karaoke machine.
Hantei Dave: Kuno: they are also prostitutes if thats what you want
KibagamiKuno: no - I am akodo samurai. Prostitution is for peasants.
Hida Oku: up to the room! Ahaha!
Togashi Udon: so you'll seduce the prostitutes?
Hida Oku: nothing wrong with the simple pleasures in life
Hantei Dave: Kuno: then how do samurai get off? ^_-
Togashi Udon: by watching the monks
KibagamiKuno: They get married. And it's vice versa udon - the monks get off by watching the samurai - that's why they're so uncomfortable around geisha :-P
Hida Oku: anyway... I'm taking mine upstairs
Hantei Dave: Everyone: Skip has so kindly reminded me that you all saw that his body is COVERED with tatooes when he was naked
KibagamiKuno: kinky.
Hantei Dave: what are kenshijo and udon doing?
Keshijo: I will examine my tanto for a while.
Togashi Udon: going to the room?
Hantei Dave: where keshijo?
Keshijo: Probably the room.
Keshijo: Definately the room.
Hantei Dave: ok. Prostitute with room offers to wash your feet
Hantei Dave: ..and they bring food for you
KibagamiKuno: heh
Hantei Dave: they even offer the monk a prostitute...he's only human
Togashi Udon: uummm....
Keshijo: I don't mind the foot washing, but having a stranger around means I can't examine the knife. I don't want to advertise I have it.
Hantei Dave: ok
Keshijo: She'll have to leave. I will pay her to get a room for herself if necessary.
Togashi Udon: i will kindly decline.
Hantei Dave: Keshijo: she is part of the package...you an refuse her
Hantei Dave: can
Keshijo: Then I will need to refuse her.
Hantei Dave: ok
Hantei Dave: if you pay they don't care
Hantei Dave: actually, she prefers it
Keshijo: Ok
Hantei Dave: so, do people wanna keep going?
Keshijo: I need to get to bed soon.
KibagamiKuno: it's prob time for me to sleep - work and such
Hantei Dave: ok, it was a great session i think
Hida Oku: only if my geisha wants to
 Hantei Dave: I hope it was entertaining for people with all the name dropping and such
Togashi Udon: dont want to make the emporor mad a 3rd time though
Keshijo: At least not in 1 night
 KibagamiKuno: just did
Hantei Dave: thank you
Hantei Dave: contemplate where you all will go next
Hida Oku: coolness... same time next week? Same bat-channel?
Hantei Dave: THANKS GUYS I HAD ALOT OF FUN!
Togashi Udon: g'night (bows all around)
Hantei Dave: oh and skip, I got you the dragon book
Togashi Udon: it was great!
Keshijo: Night all,
Hantei Dave: for b-day gift
Togashi Udon: oh wow thanks!
Hida Oku: night everyone!
Hantei Dave: night!!!!!!!
KibagamiKuno: good night
Togashi Udon has left the room.
Hida Oku has left the room.
Keshijo has left the room.
Hantei Dave has left the room.
