Re: [D1, LE] The Wedding Reception (Open, Event)
Right. This was a much easier topic to talk about. "The Dragon are always interested in supporting the Order of Heroes." "Well, I think that more temples should be built in the Empire. Not only castles... well, cities are good because people live there. But temples are important, to promote a highe...

"That is good form," a voice says, revealing an approaching monk. Moving to a spot at a comfortable distance, he picks up the same kata from the step she is on. He maintains sync with the Scorpions movements. "You must practice at least as frequently as I do."

"No temples as of yet, but we also have not established any dedicated diplomats either to ease the process. Which is part of what I do. I am a scribe and I gather stories from all over, but I also do what I can to foster good relationships. Many appreciate the ide of recording and sharing tales of t...

"Indeed. I've grown up learning these lessons. I was born after they arrived and the empire is only barely younger than me. I don't really remember a time before it. Though I do remember the time before my order was founded. So, the way of my people is the way of the Empire."

Satsuki internally debated with herself for a hot moment before responding; "yes... sent..." "Thank you though. I... already miss the more familiar surroundings there. And less people too. Have you been in Great Falls for a long time then, with the temple there?" Spying Yatsufusa moving away from t...

"That is true, humility has it's place in every person's heart. But pride in the Empire that we serve is an important thing for those below to see in those above. It inspires pride in ones work, which can be a happy and rewarding thing."

Another bow was given in return. "The Order of Heroes is well-regarded by my parents. It's an honor." She frowned, grabbing the edges of the fine silk robes. "I'm not a politician. I'm just here for my family. And what if someone did try to hurt them? Then I'd have to get out of this to help them.....

Re: GM Questions
Just a basic one; For those with Craft or Artisan skills, would there be the possibility for such people to have made a gift for the gifting event? I just assumed I was part of creating my gift.

"Yes I would be!" she exclaimed, both with frustration and delight that someone agreed with her. "I... maybe I should consider that, maybe. At some point. But I'm..." sighing, Satsuki steadied her breath and went through the practiced introduction she'd been taught. "I'm Togashi Satsuki, daughter t...

"Very frequently," he replies with a chuckle. "We recognize the importance of the social order, and understand that pride most useful for inspiring those that answer to you. None answer to monks, so pride would be misplaced. We try to understand our place in the world and strive to fulfill our dutie...

"Most of the time, probably behavior. I walked in to the baths and sat down. A servant would not do so here without invitation. We carry ourselves differently most of the time with practiced humility rather than deferential subservience."

Following her wonderful (not) delivery of her gift, Satsuki in very a inelegant manner hoisted up the many layers of her luxurious outfit until it her knees were bared to move out of the way for the next person... and to find a corner to hide in.

"The temples are our homes. There are not many now, but they are being built as castles and cities rise. As a scribe I spend most of my time in temples and libraries, being on the road only to get to other temples and libraries. I tend to the needs of those I come across between locations."

"To make things more complicated, you would likely get different answers from different monks," he says with a chuckle.

"Yes and no. As a monk I am servant to the heavens and to the people of the Empire in general. But not in service to any specific person or group other than my order," he says with a friendly smile.

"Well, it was a colorful expedition. I am called Kuu, of the Order of Heroes," he says in introduction.
Directing towards the foreigner, "Not a suggestion that we are heroic ourselves. We record and keep tales of heroes past while seeking out and encouraging the potential heroes of the present."

"My order has records of those that took part in the expedition. I was among the people that recorded those stories from a few of those that returned successfully," Kuu says, finally speaking up. "It is a popular story I've told to shrine visitors over the years. Not quite as good as speaking with s...

Re: [D1, LE] The Wedding Reception (Open, Event)
Kuu had found an out of the way spot to sit and observe. He eventually found the chance to offer the gift from the Order of Heroes he was given to present. After that he went and moved through the crowd hoping to meet some new people and chat.

[D1 EA] Blessings of Peace
Kuu sat in silent contemplation of the fortunes for a long while. He was not seeking any answers or questions, but simply trying to be mindful of himself. It didn't go as he had hoped, finding his mind abuzz with thoughts of the wedding later. For now he stood and visited each of the shrines one by ...
