Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

The Crab arrive fashionably late led by Hida Kitusuchi and her husband, she sends the regards of her mother who regrets she could not be here but has sent along some of their finest sake in lieu of her presence.

Kitusuchi frowned and said, “I am taking this matter with extreme caution, thus I am putting my best on it. But I will not be questioned when it comes to the security of my realm. Don’t push it any further, Junza will make the final determination of what needs doing.”

“Dismissed.”

“No.”

She then turned back to her council and added, “Junza-san, look into this matter of the spirits and determine what needs doing. Bring that monk here as well, just in case. Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention, Junza will handle this matter. Dismissed.”

Kitusuchi rubbed her brow and said, “So what are you asking for? The parents of this ghost child? The Azure Orchid sank about a century ago, they are also dead if they are tied to this story.”

"Physical strength does not a father make, even Hida-kami faced failure," she said with a smile.

Kitusuchi looked to the woman expectantly.

“Tai-kun mentioned something about a monster and other madness, but it makes no sense,” Kitusuchi responded.

"Do go into detail, this is the first I am hearing about much of this. I received a letter from your magistrate but this seems far more dire than I was led to believe," she said.

The guards alert the Lord of the Castle and after about thirty minutes they are shown to the Lord of the Castle in a meeting room. There is a large map of the region on a table and Kitusuchi is there with several aides. Standing across from her is her mother. She looked to the two samurai and said, ...

"I think you would look good as a husband," she said honestly.

"What do you mean?" she said with a raised brow.

"She will be happy to go hunting, not sure if I will join we shall see," she said honestly.

"They are as well as they could be with mother. She asks much of us and never let's us be less than we are," she said thoughtfully.

"She's a pain in my ass, but she means well."

"You have my word, I will do so," she said.

"I'll listen if it makes you feel better," she offered in a supporting manner.

"Peasants prattle on about sea maidens dragging them down to the depths, I don't sail so never considered it much," she offered.

"You okay? What is bothering you?"

"Lots of ghost stories tied to the beaches, always has been," she responded.

Kitusuchi laughed and said, "You're telling me a funny joke right? Not sure if this is funny or just weird."

"You are here as a guest, you should ne be conscripted to work for," she said warmly.

"Was it two days ago, pretty sure that was last night but I did drink a lot at the shrine."

“Busy, there is always something needing my attention. Then we have the odd stuff; sea monsters, potential witchcraft, and I guess ghosts? Yes it all keeps me busy on top of keeping my mother happy,” she replied.

“I am sorry I have not been more available to you.”

Kitusuchi was on her balcony having a drink of warm sake. She smiled and said, "Cousin, greetings."

"Sake?"

"Kitu-chan! I'm surprised to see you here, Yancho-kun has been telling me how busy you are of late. Good to see you here to let your hair down a bit, relax and have a good time!" He then gave a short bow to Shouji "and Tsuruchi-sama! Thanks for putting together this whole thing!" Anyone that gave t...

Shouji laughed at that. "I've heard of odder things." He replied with a shake of his head. "Though if that was the case, im sure your lovely wife would of noticed."

“If he isn’t careful he may find himself sleeping with the goats,” she mused playfully.

The Crab Lord arrived with her husband quite starry eyed at the view.

"I am blessed with two very skilled priestesses, it's mostly their skills you see on display today." Shouji replied, his smile pleased. "Still thank you, we'd hoped to impress and create a place people could enjoy." "You have done more than expected, this is wonderful. But please do not waste time ...
