D3EE, Discussion of Yu (Open)

[Kakita Akuba]

Akuba begins to make her way about the displays.

"Possible poison from a Scorpion?" she says. "Well, at least some stick to what's been tried."

[Bayushi Choudai]

"Possible poison from a Scorpion?" she says. "Well, at least some stick to what's been tried."

Overhearing this, Choudai half-smiled.

And have you the courage to sample it, Kakita-chan?

[Kakita Akuba]

Overhearing this, Choudai half-smiled.

And have you the courage to sample it, Kakita-chan?

Knowing it wouldn't be a fair test if she didn't, and the GM animating her still needing more coffee, Akuba does partake.

[Kakita Hyoukasha]

As did her husband.

"It reminds me of 'the fugu scene in ''The Trials of Usagi Jirhime' he remarks. "Beautifully written character. A pity what happened to the author, but fame does have it's price I suppose." he mused.

A brief sigh as he contemplated his own struggles with fame before being ready to move on to the next piece.

[Bayushi Ameiko]

"I will have years to find out."

He cocked his head to the side, examining the canvas.

"You've seen me dismayed, Ameiko-san. Do I make that sort of face?"

"You might have no time at all", she shrugged. "Not everyone drones on with their duty. Some prefer to act."

She didn't comment on his painted expression. She was more concerned about the gas coming out from between the Crane maidens legs.

A brief sigh as he contemplated his own struggles with fame before being ready to move on to the next piece.

Commenting about the next performance, Akuba remarks "Some might call it better to burn out than fade away. How to consider an extinguished flame, then? And what happens when the lamp oil clogs?"

[Kakita Hyoukasha]

Hyoukasha shook his head.

"All flames go out eventually, leaving us with naught but ash and cold memories of warmth." he commented, wondering just how many more hours this flame had.

[Kakita Akuba]

Hyoukasha shook his head.

"All flames go out eventually, leaving us with naught but ash and cold memories of warmth." he commented, wondering just how many more hours this flame had.

"Of course."

Looking at the next, Akuba comments "Something about this...it makes the skin crawl. And one wonders what a Tsuruchi would think of it."

[Kakita Hyoukasha]

Hyoukasha shook his head.

"All flames go out eventually, leaving us with naught but ash and cold memories of warmth." he commented, wondering just how many more hours this flame had.

"Of course."

Looking at the next, Akuba comments "Something about this...it makes the skin crawl. And one wonders what a Tsuruchi would think of it."

Hyoukasha shrugged.

"Very little I would assume....but they're not the judges here." he added.

[Kitsune Shizenko]

Yoshino smiled gently. "I didn't think he liked me."

Shizenko shook her head. "He is just a softy when he see people under the weather and want them to feel better." She nodded. "He helps my patients feel happier and keeps them warm."

[Kakita Akuba]

Hyoukasha shrugged.

"Very little I would assume....but they're not the judges here." he added.

Akuba shudders exaggeratedly. "Can you imagine such a thing?"

She moves on to the next piece.

"Isn't seppuku done to atone for failures of courage?"

[Doji Yoshino]

Snip.

"He's very sweet."

Yoshino reached out her hand to the tanuki to see how he'd respond.

[Kakita Hyoukasha]

Hyoukasha shrugged.

"Very little I would assume....but they're not the judges here." he added.

Akuba shudders exaggeratedly. "Can you imagine such a thing?"

She moves on to the next piece.

"Isn't seppuku done to atone for failures of courage?"

Hyoukasha shakes his head.

"One wonders how the artist believes that Emma-O is going to judge the artist." he offered, unimpressed with the work.

[Kakita Akuba]

Hyoukasha shakes his head.

"One wonders how the artist believes that Emma-O is going to judge the artist." he offered, unimpressed with the work.

Akuba looks at the next display briefly and passes by it to favor the next with her attentions.

"Seems someone hoped to hop to it. Unfortunately, it was no great leap."

[Kakita Hyoukasha]

Hyoukasha shakes his head.

"One wonders how the artist believes that Emma-O is going to judge the artist." he offered, unimpressed with the work.

Akuba looks at the next display briefly and passes by it to favor the next with her attentions.

"Seems someone hoped to hop to it. Unfortunately, it was no great leap."

Hyoukasha shook his head.

"We're here to judge the courage of the artwork, not the artists." he added.

[Kakita Akuba]

Hyoukasha shook his head.

"We're here to judge the courage of the artwork, not the artists." he added.

"How much can the art be separated from the artist, dear husband?"

Akuba moves on to look at the next piece.

"This is certainly a cutting presentation," she says. "Although honor is on a different day."

[Kitsune Shizenko]

"He's very sweet."

Yoshino reached out her hand to the tanuki to see how he'd respond.

Raakun sniffed the hand and licked it. The Kitsune smiled. "He is. Many of my friend are." She looked at the tanuki. "If you wish you can pick him up"

[Kakita Hyoukasha]

Hyoukasha shook his head.

"We're here to judge the courage of the artwork, not the artists." he added.

"How much can the art be separated from the artist, dear husband?"

Akuba moves on to look at the next piece.

"This is certainly a cutting presentation," she says. "Although honor is on a different day."

Kyoukasha nods.

"I suppose for some it is simply too demanding to emphasize a specific aspect of bushido in their work." he conceded. "Thus the line is drawn between the sublime and the merely good."

[Doji Yoshino]

Snip.

Yoshino tentatively moved to pick the tanuki up. She was trying to pay some attention to some of the ongoing presentations, but her mind wasn't in it today.

[Kakita Akuba]

Kyoukasha nods.

"I suppose for some it is simply too demanding to emphasize a specific aspect of bushido in their work." he conceded. "Thus the line is drawn between the sublime and the merely good."

Akuba smiles at her husband. It is a warm gesture, if brief.

"Which of a twin performance should receive the attention?" she asks. "Which kneels, and which does the teacher hit in the face?"
