[Saru Takurou]

Up for Pairing

A tall woman wearing a raccoon mask approached the sharply dressed Dragon. "Want to dance?" the woman offered, her eyes bright behind the mask.

Takurou looked up at the giant raccoon standing in front of him, smiled broadly and said "Of course! I bet this dragon will learn to fly with you," he quipped and laughed.

Pair #5: Yoshitsune Chizu & Saru Takurou
Yoshitsune Chizu gains +1 Ball Point
Saru Takurou gains +1 Ball Point

[Ryoshun Rei]

Rei was there. The bat theme of her attire impressed, but did little to hide who she was. Still, she tried to act the part. The Ryoshun had little trouble with her drinks or a little dancing. She was still trying to be more social, after all.

[Isawa Kyosei]

A new figure entered. His identity wasn't a surprise to anyone that knew him - he had a flat mask that was made of stone, with eyeholes, and a straightline mouth-hole, but was otherwise expressionless. Somehow, the kimono under it seemed to fit with the mask; the fact the striations on the stone seemed to continue into the kimono helped.

The head turned a few times on entering, then accepted a small cup of something. He managed to take a sip, tipping his mask up, and then looked around. holding the cup was frankly easy, after his experience trading with the Crab, and how many of them wanted to drink while bartering.

He found his way to the dance floor, and though he was untrained on this side, he did have experience with playing the drum for others to dance to. So, he ignored other instruments, and set himself to moving with the beat of the drums. And surprisingly, he moved well as he did so, not spilling even a drop of his drink. Finished with the dance, having managed to cross the floor, he approaches one that isn't hiding herself in any particular way. He nods to her, taps his own fingernails, then offers her a small bottle. The contents are a familiar, to her, green color.

[Wh'rr'kk]

A rather oddly dressed person arrives, in a mempo crafted from an overturned basket and colorful garment that may have been curtains from his guest room an hour ago. While he seems to be akward with the concept of cups, he is quite a adept on the dance floor.

[Otomo Gusai]

A figure cunningly draped in knotted ropes enters, but the eyepatch that shows through...detracts, the Fortune of Dung having seen some pants. Similarly, the hand that reaches for a cup is less steady, as if it needs a swaying deck, and, again, the eyepatch...but the dancing is passable, at least.

I believe it's 3 Ball Points?

[Hantei Kinsen]

-EVENT CLOSED-

Top 2 are Doji Tsubaki and Ongaku Masanori.

Ongaku may choose the title first, since he's Imperial. Will it be Prince or Princess?



Rewards

The player that accrues most Ball Points may chose the title of either Prince or Princess of the Ball. After selecting one of these 2 titles, the following player with most accrued points may select the remaining title. Any player may forego the entitlement they would receive, thus passing to the other character with most accrued points. Titles that have not been taken are left for Kinsen to grant to whomever she chooses.

The Prince earns a private audience with Hantei Kinsen, the Princess gain a private audience with Hantei Genji. Both Prince and Princess each earn an invitation –– that they may pass to any honorable soul in the Clan –– to study at a Stag School (also Paths) of their choosing.

Note: If there are points I haven't tallied properly, such as pairings, let me know in a PM.

As the ball finishes the mystery person bows to his partner, "Thank you for teaching me man-man dances" he says quietly to her through his whicker mempo

"I think we both learned." she bowed again. "Thank you."

[Ongaku Masanori]

Masanori believes he would make a poor princess, and thus opts bemusedly to be the prince of the ball.

Ongaku Masanori is called to the upper dais where a cushion with a crown on top was dedicated to the Prince of the Ball.

Doji Tsubaki can climb up and claim the Princess of the Ball crown if she wishes, else it goes to the next in line.

Tsubaki is more than happy to be appointed princess.
