Day 6 Event - The Rescue of Hisomu

[Doji Tsubaki]

Sadly I ended up dropping the ranks in Acting but Tsubaki can passably sing. She'll mainly be wanting to watch but if there is an empty slot she won't let her fellow Crane down.

[Doji Dojihime]

Kyosei offers to play the enigmatic role of Shinsei - as long as he gets to be mostly silent, and wear the super wide straw hat. Thus making that hat what most will think of when they think of the person Shinsei, throughout history!

Shinsei has a more ephemeral role on our play.

[Bayushi Sasori]

Sasori could be an extra be just like that. Has 0 Acting skill.

Given Nanzi's interactions with Shinsei, methinks this is some Courteous and Sincere effort to paper over some, ah... Partisan revisionism?

Oh, sorry, sorry, I spelled "artistic license" wrong...

[Togashi Satsuki]

Baby Dragon has natural talent for acting and singing. It will be fiiiiine!

[Kuu]

Will probably attend. And probably try to sit next to someone that was there.

[Chai Kotsume]

No acting or singing skill at all here. I could throw fish at the actors...

Kidding aside, I'm still undecided as Kotsume is not very traditional, but maybe getting to see lady Shinjo's shenanigans would convince her to attend. We'll see

Do we need to RSVP to attend?

[Doji Dojihime]

No real RSVP there will be options for acting, method acting, and also a role for the audience as well so everyone can participate.

Hisomu, Hantei = Hantei Genji, Imperial Samurai = Togashi Satsuki, Spider Samurai, Dragon Samurai, Ratling Soldier, Nanzi = Doji Hikaru, Hantei Kinsen, and Shinjo = Ryoshun Ume

Those in Bold are available.

Players will wear masks, and people can play more than one role if they wish.

The play is in four acts with a single role per act and the audience will have a role too if they so desire.

Act 1 - Lament of the Brothers featuring primarily Hantei, Shinjo, and Spider Samurai; then an interlude with Hisomu

Act 2 - The March Through Darkness featuring Nanzi, Imperial Samurai, Ratling Soldier, and Dragon Samurai battling dark shades

Act 3 - The Last Stand again featuring Nanzi, Ratling Soldier, Shinjo, and Hantei Kinseni as they face hordes of dark figures to buy time for the rescue, epic death scene of the Ratling Soldier

Act 4 - Down in the Pit, Hantei leads the charge to rescue his honored brother alongside Imperial Samurai and Dragon Samurai and they rescue Hisomu and are reunited with a final duet of brotherly love and triumph

Play Ends.

This is a musical.

[Doji Dojihime]

Time is Late Afternoon to coincide with the document.

[Togashi Satsuki]

Act 4 - Down in the Pit, Hantei leads the charge to rescue his honored brother alongside Imperial Samurai and Dragon Samurai and they rescue Hisomu and are reunited with a final duet of brotherly love and triumph

Already the revisionist writing begins.

[Nozomi]

Nozomi does love a good yarn, and she's a bit of a believer that stories alter over time.

...

She might be a little judge-y admittedly, but she'll definitely attend. Not act, though. She gave that skill and life up when she became a monk.

[Hisomu Kuni]

Kuni can probably be convinced to reprise his role as a background character. Just no one important. He feels like that would be insulting since he had his chance to be important.

[Doji Dojihime]

You can be one of the nameless samurai if you like.

[Hisomu Kuni]

That will work.

[Doji Dojihime]

Hisomu, Hantei = Hantei Genji, Imperial Samurai = Togashi Satsuki, Spider Samurai = Hisomu Kuni, Dragon Samurai, Ratling Soldier, Nanzi = Doji Hikaru, Hantei Kinsen, and Shinjo = Ryoshun Ume

Dojihime can do Kinsen if no one else enters and the players will be wearing masks, so they can play a second role if they like.

[Hantei Kinsen]

Kinsen will be honored.

[Jiyo Sora]

...

Phi could play the Ratling, if the Crane would let a 12 year old play.

But she has no dice pool- just my desire to introduce a bit of preteen rebellion into Sora's family dynamics.

This is a musical.

There will be an outburst at Act 4, with the omission of the Spider Samurai who entered into the pit
