Wedding at Fire Shrimp Village an L5R PbP

"Oh that is fantastic Toritaka-san, well done," Yuahime said with with a pleasant smile.

"You have a great talent for this."

The Empress to be, from her place of honor, gestured with her fan giving her approval.

Yuahime produced a display as well but it was very amateurish.

"Let us make displays for the bride and groom," Yuahime offered.

"I am so nervous, I hope I don't mess this up," Yuahime offered.

"You are the teacher, we follow your lead," she said warmly.

"Greetings Asahina-san," she said warmly.

"I hope it is not an undue burden that I have decided to join you this evening? Hida-san said you were a talented artisan," Yuahime asked.

New beginnings means trying something new and this was a night of celebration! To that end Yuahime joined in the song with Kintaro and the Crab emboldened the Crane diplomat waves at everyone to join them!

“Yoko-san has been a good ally, I look forward to seeing where her journey takes her,” she said honestly. “You as well Kakita-sama, your keen knowledge kept my dear friend from acting against me. You are a benefit to your Clan, though I am not terribly convinced of this whole monster magistrate moti...

Seconds before she left...

Yuahime acknowledged the Boar.

Now back to normal time stream...

OOC: That is fine.

"The Crane have been good hosts, I am honored by your hospitality," she responded.

"Forgive me, I know we may have spent many times that I do not recall, I pray I left a good impression on you. Your actions in breaking the curse are to be commended."

Yuahime nodded at the parade of requests and said, “I am honored by the outpouring of support by the Falcon and Monkey. It is my intent to bring a decisive and quick end to any ambiguities. But I also wish to respect the wedding of Daidoji Yushoko and Hida Yoji, as the bonds that tie us together are...

There was something so... uncivilised about how no one had spoken to the Empress herself at this event. He had expected the likes of Kintaro, the host, or the bride to say something - no matter. He moved towards the Empress and her attendant, keeping a distance before bowing deeply to both. "Ikeda-...

"I see, thank you for your wisdom Otomo Saisei," she said with a nod.

"I pray that mercy serves the greater good."

"I would show the same compassion I learned form the late Empress, and from Akodo-kami himself. Ensure that the enemy have a chance to cleanse their honor, so their lineage may continue to serve under Heaven's guidance." He says, sharply, from the experience he lived. She sat back and considered th...

She raised a hand and said, “I appreciate the candor and vigor of Otomo Saisei, and those that heed his call to arms.” Several low ranked samurai react to his words and follow suit, seeing the wounded man give a spirited if intimidating display before Yuahime. She finished with, “We are honored by t...

Yuahime was genuinely surprised at the words and said, "I will take such words under advisement, though I wonder how Otomo-san feels about your appeal."

"Regardless, I am honored to have your service, Bayushi-san."

The Crab child brought a collective gasp but Yuahime did not seem surprised. "You have keen eyes, and when the time comes I would be glad to see you serve where you are best needed," she said kindly to the girl. "Your Courage will be needed, and gives me strength. Hiruma-san, there is nothing to apo...

"I will prove myself of the honor, that I promise," she says, making her last parting gesture and departing from the central stage.

"You may begin now," she said rising and held out her hand to a Crab holding her standard and then offered it to the ronin.

"See that flies high, Yoko-san."

Yuahime listened carefully and then responded once it seemed the words were done with, “My mother led an extraordinary life, but her greatest acts came when she was at her lowest. If you seek to aid my cause, then I will have it and do not take such an oath lightly. You are welcome at my side Yoko-s...

With a nod to both, he rises and kneels in front of the Empress. Not as a courtier seeking service, but as a warrior before his lord. Naturally, the flock would assume an arrow formation alongside. "The heart of the Empire is its Empress. When we as Rokugan have strayed from that fact, we have beco...

Yuahime entered wearing a finely made kimono with hints of green and sky blue with soring cranes across it. She nodded to those already present. Her first guard Ikeda Hiro entered and said, “Announcing her highness, Oturi Yuahime, crown princess of the Empire. She wishes to thank the Crane for this ...

“Good morning, this one is Oturi Yuahime,” she said rising to address the court. “I struggled with calling this court but ultimately we all have a Duty to protect and ensure the longevity of the Empire and resist the spiral into chaos. I intend to return to the Capitol and enact the last will and te...

The future was uncertain but she felt better having taken a moment to reflect with a friend.

"Then we will have to see this through together," she said with a nod and added, "We will do the best we can, I am sure of it."
