[Day 2 - EE] Welcome Dinner [RP thread]

[Ichiro Taiki]

"True. Have you spotted anything... odd, Ichiro-san? Anything off or unusual?"

"Apart from the rumours, ye mean...?'

He thinks for a moment before answering, and when he answers the words come out slowly, the accent almost gone.

"A... I guess... not much. Just... Toritaka-san has mentioned restless spirits yesterday. Not good, in her words. I think she mentioned... Toshigoku or Gaki-do?"

He thinks for another moment.

"Bu'... A dun' think spirits wids be going aroond makin' threats... right?"

[Kakita Konohamaru]

"A... I guess... not much. Just... Toritaka-san has mentioned restless spirits yesterday. Not good, in her words. I think she mentioned... Toshigoku or Gaki-do?"

He thinks for another moment.

"Bu'... A dun' think spirits wids be going aroond makin' threats... right?"

"Toshigoku?"

"Gaki-do?"

"Yes?"

His thought came to the Crane contingency.

"Oh Ochuko's Crackers there has been a terrible mistake. But thank you, Ichiro-san. This has been most useful."

[Ichiro Taiki]

"Toshigoku?"

"Gaki-do?"

"Yes?"

His thought came to the Crane contingency.

"Oh Ochuko's Crackers there has been a terrible mistake. But thank you, Ichiro-san. This has been most useful."

Taiki hears the Magistrate's words and ponders them for a while, but he doesn't seem to realise what the Crane is talking about.

Still, he nods. "A'm... glad this is useful, Kakita-sama."

The puzzlement in his face is not fully hidden, and he ends up adding a question.

"Sae... yer inquiry has somethin' tae do wi' spirits, then?"

[Kakita Konohamaru]

"Sae... yer inquiry has somethin' tae do wi' spirits, then?"

"I didn't think it did, but it might. What is the name of this Toritaka you spoke to?"

[Ichiro Taiki]

"I didn't think it did, but it might. What is the name of this Toritaka you spoke to?"

"'Tis Toritaka Hanatsuko-san. Th' un' wh performed wi' weapons durin' uir presentation fer th' Minor Clans. She shoods still be heer somewhaur", he says, looking around for her.

[Kakita Konohamaru]

"Hanatsuko, Hanatsuko. Torikata Hanatsuko."

Konohamaru nodded, airing out the accent from her name and forming it into his own articulation. He gave the Ichiro a deep bow.

"Icihiro-san, thank you. This information may help us save several lives. If you'll excuse me, I need to find this Torikata-san."

[Ichiro Taiki]

The Badger bowed respectfully as well.

"O' course, Kakita-sama. A hope ye find what ye need with Toritaka-san. 'En... A'll be 'ere if ye believe A can be o' assistance."

[Doji Yuma]

"My lord thought it wise to have someone to look after Shosuro-san should she have a need." Shitoru nodded toward Himeko. "I am not her yojimbo per se, but should her honor be impugned, it would fall to me to stand for her."

"Interesting. Would you rather define yourself as a soldier, a guard or a duelist? Though all three require mastery of the blade these three profiles don't conjure the same image at all."

[Yoritomo Koemi]

"Ahh...so one assumes you are bothered by heights?" Tanaka smiled at that, making the poor joke all the more obvious. "More to the point I imagine the duty requires great coordination between your fellows? Or is Yoritomo-san of sufficient strength to lift the sails on her own and speed enough to be everywhere at once." Another amused bit of teasing.

Koemi smiled faintly, not really understanding the joke but at least understanding that it was one. "It certainly does require coordination," she admitted, though she did pat her exposed biceps. "Helps to be able to brute force from time to time though."

[Kitsuki Tanaka]

Koemi smiled faintly, not really understanding the joke but at least understanding that it was one. "It certainly does require coordination," she admitted, though she did pat her exposed biceps. "Helps to be able to brute force from time to time though."

"Ah, I see...sometimes you just have to bare down and pull?" Tanaka nodded in return, "How did you find yourself performing such duties if I may ask? Born a sailor or adopted by the sea later?"

[Yoritomo Koemi]

"Ah, I see...sometimes you just have to bare down and pull?" Tanaka nodded in return, "How did you find yourself performing such duties if I may ask? Born a sailor or adopted by the sea later?"

"Born into it, naturally," Koemi said. "How many Yoritomo do you know who aren't meant for the sea?"
