Misaki talked as she poured tea for the man, "I am an Engineer, Akodo-sama. I work mostly on rural planning and farming innovation in-so-far as making sure Lady Doji-sama's lands are well maintained and bountiful. If anything I do can help with a bountiful harvest and maybe prevent starvation durin...

The old man wasn't one for flourishes and fanciful displays. Back home, there were people that could pull tears out of a rock, but he wasn't one of them. If he knew a thing, he was going to tell it to you. Plain. Simple. The request was for a hero. He knew a few. "In the old days, before there was a...

"That is correct. Misaki of the Doji, at your service." She bowed deeply. "We were paired up in the drawing, if you'd like to come sit with me?" Misaki motioned over to the cushions at the table where she'd gotten up from, some tea still sitting there on the table. "Right, that sounds like the thin...

He returned the bow. "That I am...Doji-san?"

Misaki was here, keeping warm and meeting for a Lion she had not met before. But, after all, was that not the point of such an event as this? Arriving somewhat late to the party, the old Lion could be spied rubbing the back of his head fairly close to the doorway. He was peering out at the gatherin...

The old man of the Lion delegation strode into the room and cast his eyes about the place. Recognizing the fox trouble about to ensue, the cagey old man pretends not to entertain any possibility that prior animus may exist between the esteemed Scorpion and the Consort's vulpine companion. Perhaps th...

Daigoro nodded along to his own explanation. "You're not eating a lot of tubers down Stag way?"

The old man laughed. "Makime-sama is correct. They are a hardy plant, though you've got to watch out for Nematode and pests. More labor-intensive than a number of your other vegetables, especially because they like to big and spread themselves out and dig themselves deep if you don't watch your spac...

Daigoro returned the greeting with a smile and a bow. "Good to see you, Makime-sama." He indicated the prince. "Hantei-sama, here, was just learning about the mysteries of root vegetables."

Coming up the street in his brown kimono and his geta, the old man just happened to overhear the young prince. "Coming to know your vegetables, Hantei-sama?" He peered at the cart, rubbing the back of his head as he became momentarily lost in thought, then bowed to Genji. "Akodo Daigoro, water speci...

I'm in! Get ready for hydraulic coolness!

Is in.

So. In. Gizmo Glory!

OM NOM NOM NOM!

The groan of wood turning against wood echoed through the hall as a pair of servants rolled in a sturdy cart topped by some towering machine--2 meters tall--shrouded in silk. Striding behind them was a short, square man, distinctive for his grey beard and missing lower left arm. He's doing his level...

I'm in!
