D3EE, Discussion of Yu (Open)

[Bayushi Ameiko]

"Truthfully, senpai, I know this", she said. "I also await the day a challenge approaches.". She seemed excited at the idea. "I've often thought about what I would do. Will I complain like so many others or will I continue my course?"

"Weakness is also relative", Ameiko contended. "One can have a difficulty and it does not effect anything save someone's attitude, and isn't it the right thing to do to give someone without purpose something to fret over?" her eyes looked at the two judges for just a moment.

[Bayushi Choudai]

"Yes, well... some people find their purpose in the most unexpected ways."

I'm always amused at critics who offer no art of their own for critique.

"Did you know I dabbled a bit in theater during my time in the Painted City? It was my sister Ayame's idea."

In truth, she'd simply accused him of being dramatic, but it made for a passable lie.

"And while I found no great purpose in it, it did allow for a certain self-awareness. Stepping outside of yourself to take on a role, so to speak."

[Bayushi Ameiko]

"And while I found no great purpose in it, it did allow for a certain self-awareness. Stepping outside of yourself to take on a role, so to speak."

Her eyes widened in wonder a bit.

It was very sarcastic.

"Oh, senpai that's wonderful, did you play the role of a proper kenjutsu master who can even beat an eight year old girl?"

[Bayushi Choudai]

Her eyes widened in wonder a bit.

It was very sarcastic.

"Oh, senpai that's wonderful, did you play the role of a proper kenjutsu master who can even beat an eight year old girl?"

He leaned over, his tone perfectly pleasant.

"No, I played the role of someone with a serious job to do, and you know what I found out? I was good at it."

[Bayushi Ameiko]

He leaned over, his tone perfectly pleasant.

"No, I played the role of someone with a serious job to do, and you know what I found out? I was good at it."

...oh!
"That kind of job?"

[Bayushi Choudai]

...oh!
"That kind of job?"

"Indeed."

He turned his attention away from the painting and pondered Asano's... frog.

"Won't say I won rave reviews, but the performance was deemed passable enough. Reached the desired audience in the right way."

[Bayushi Ameiko]

"A proper chef and an actor as well", Ameiko observed with a proper nod. "If only people could appreciate such talent openly."

[Bayushi Choudai]

"A proper chef and an actor as well", Ameiko observed with a proper nod. "If only people could appreciate such talent openly."

"But do we perform for the praise of others, or do we perform because we must?"

[Bayushi Ameiko]

"But do we perform for the praise of others, or do we perform because we must?"

"You decide why you do what you do, I will keep my own counsel."

Mostly for praise, and if no one gives it, then she would simply praise herself after punishing those who ignored her.

[Kakita Akuba]

Hyoukasha took a moment before responding, apparently something in the presentation had him thinking.

"Indeeed." is all he has to comment before moving on to the next.

Akuba watches another presentation.

"Here is a thing that has not been seen before," she says. "Is it courage to have others do new things, though?"

[Bayushi Choudai]

"You decide why you do what you do, I will keep my own counsel."

He arched an eyebrow behind his mask.

"But your answer isn't really for me, Ameiko-san. It's something you need to keep in mind, because others will figure it out."

He moved his appraisal to the young Matsu's painting.

"And they can use the answer to manipulate you."

[Akodo Yaukwari]

The documentation continues.

Doji Nadeshiko, herself the subject of at least one presentation, commented upon the unpleasantness between Crane and Scorpion in Naishou that the Lion, under the Throne, quelled for the benefit of all. Her presentation of the poem spoke to the rawness of the event.

The Legionnaire Kaiu Kunio followed with an adaptation of tea ceremony. Our host, Doji Utemaro, and distinguished visitor Otomo Gaitsu partook. The effects have yet to be fully seen.

He looks about openly, saddened to see the lack of someone.

[Kakita Hyoukasha]

Akuba watches another presentation.

"Here is a thing that has not been seen before," she says. "Is it courage to have others do new things, though?"

Kyoukasha gives it a moment's thought.

"Would not one consider Asako-san's brining the coffee more courageous than spreading his teachings for him?" was his comment.

[Shosuro Hatsuki]

Hatsuki was also milling about, looking at displays, because even if she was feeling unwell, it would be far from a show of courage not to walk around in what she was wearing for the duration of the display. She did wish she could see how it turned out, though.

[Kakita Akuba]

Kyoukasha gives it a moment's thought.

"Would not one consider Asako-san's brining the coffee more courageous than spreading his teachings for him?" was his comment.

"My husband is wise," Akuba says, and clearly means it.

"Has he decided?"

[Doji Yoshino]

After a certain Crane's presentation Yoshino apologises to the Fox, making her excuses and leaving just before the host's announcement. She did not look especially well.
