Game On (D3 LE - VERY OPEN)

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

"I am well, Monkhbaatar-san. I suppose you match fire to wind often?"

Tsume looks at the inviting cushions and the games, seeking the unfamiliar.

"You want to take a seat?" he asks.

Then the wrestling and the kissing happened. And unlike others he was entertained. Even clapped a bit at the spectacle. Way to go Khulun! That one's yours!

He turns back to Tsume and indicates some of the cushions. "Those two are a good match," he says with a chuckle.

[Moto Baatar]

"But wait!" Baatar said. "A heroic cavalry commander sorties out to capture food for the hungry garrison!"

The Unicorn began building a thin line of white stones meandering out from the "castle" towards a clear area away from the Dragon's lines.

Udo picks up 5 white stones. "But some of the food was poisoned! ...by a ninja."

"What?! Black gets ninja?!" Baatar complained, outraged. "Uh... my elephants will charge the black lines to try and break through!" Selecting what appeared to be the biggest white stones (though actually, they were all the same) he started trying to create a breach in Udo's forward positions.

[Ryuuta Tsume]

"I am well, Monkhbaatar-san. I suppose you match fire to wind often?"

Tsume looks at the inviting cushions and the games, seeking the unfamiliar.

"You want to take a seat?" he asks.

Then the wrestling and the kissing happened. And unlike others he was entertained. Even clapped a bit at the spectacle. Way to go Khulun! That one's yours!

He turns back to Tsume and indicates some of the cushions. "Those two are a good match," he says with a chuckle.

Tsume opens her mouth to reply, then decides to hold her hat in front of her face instead.

"Aside from the very...forceful games which I have witnessed today, do you have an you enjoy Monkhbaatar-san?"

[Shinjo Monkhbaatar]

"I'm more physical than mental when it comes to competitions. I've tried Go a bit. I'm pretty bad at it though," he says with a chuckle. "Maybe if there's something that relies more on luck than skill."

[Togashi Udo]

"What?! Black gets ninja?!" Baatar complained, outraged. "Uh... my elephants will charge the black lines to try and break through!" Selecting what appeared to be the biggest white stones (though actually, they were all the same) he started trying to create a breach in Udo's forward positions.

Udo picks up some of his black stones.

"The powerful charge breaks through my lines!" Udo begins acting panicked. He looks left and right. He stands up and sits down.

"While your forces are cheering their victory, they miss the samurai scaling the back wall." Udo places stones on the opposite side's castle walls. "It will soon be a glorious victory!"

[Soshi Bantu]

Bantu had been contemplating his next response to Fukawa when the impromptu grapple broke out. It completely destroyed his On, and he was about to demand the troublemakers leave the gathering when the situation eventually resolved itself with the help of Fukawa.

He had samurai making out in the middle of the room, he had go games with ninja and elephants. He shook his head in amazement, but at least it seemed everyone was having fun?

[Soshi Bantu]

The Doji was working out the polite response when a drunken, angry Matsu was added to the mix.

There really was only one appropriate response.

Fukawa bowed respectfully to the Lion.

"I am Doji Fukawa, an honor to meet you.....Matsu Nintoku?" she offered, trailing off on the Matsu's name as if it had some sort of meaning to her, but she couldn't grasp ahold of it just at the moment.

"Ah Matsu-san. I'm so glad you could join us this evening, I must apologise that I had not thought to provide a sumai ring for your earlier display though."

Bantu quipped as he interjected himself in the Lion's impromptu conversation.

"Perhaps there will be a more physical evening soon for you to display your talents?"

[Doji Fukawa]

Fukawa examined her fan as the Scorpion called attention to the Matsu's shameful behavior. The Matsu seemed to be reeking of that weird alcohol that the Moto liked, so she wasn't sure what was going to happen, a duel or a punch.

[Moto Khulun]

"Ah Matsu-san. I'm so glad you could join us this evening, I must apologise that I had not thought to provide a sumai ring for your earlier display though."

Bantu quipped as he interjected himself in the Lion's impromptu conversation.

"Perhaps there will be a more physical evening soon for you to display your talents?"

The Moto princess watches the Scorpion and Lion and then interjects, “So what is sum-ai? Is that the wrestling? Why no physical games tonight like the kem-ari? Sad-ane is fun… have more pictures to make jokes of?”

“If you need game we can do Buzukashi! Someone fetch a dead goat!” she adds.

[Matsu Nintoku]

The Matsu set his eyes on the Soshi lowering his head in apology.

"There is no need Soshi-san." he answered politely "I believe I have displayed enough of my physical talents."

It seems that the alliance between the Lion and the Scorpion had not gone unnoticed to the Matsu as his tone was more polite and courteous than what would have been expected. His eyes set on the Moto after her suggestion before letting a sigh; she might need a dead goat but he would need another drink if such were to happen.

[Usagi Tomoe]

Tomoe was going to say something to Dong-Ha until... well... Khulun and Nintoku happened. She wasn't surprised that someone like Khulun would do this in public, but... NINTOKU?!?

Either he had forever crushed her vision of what a manly Matsu man would be like, or he had just given her fodder to tease him with for months.

"Er..." after a long stunned silence after it all, she looked at Dong-Ha. "... I think I lost track of what I was saying..."

[Soshi Bantu]

"I must admit to a preference for the more cerebral games myself Moto-san. I decided that focusing on these would make for a more manageable event, while also providing an opportunity for someone else more qualified to host those other more strenuous games."

"Alas this was the only piece I could find for sadane, and this other game you request sounds like more of an...outdoor sport. Perhaps you could show it to me tomorrow, in better light?"

[Iuchi Dong-Ha]

Tomoe was going to say something to Dong-Ha until... well... Khulun and Nintoku happened. She wasn't surprised that someone like Khulun would do this in public, but... NINTOKU?!?

Either he had forever crushed her vision of what a manly Matsu man would be like, or he had just given her fodder to tease him with for months.

"Er..." after a long stunned silence after it all, she looked at Dong-Ha. "... I think I lost track of what I was saying..."

Dong-Ha pressed his lower jaw upwards with his hand to close his mouth. The sadane had been quite something, but then the Moto and Lion had began wrestling... and then there had been a kiss. "I think that Usagi-san was about to explain the rules of the game..." he tapped the goban ever so gently "But then that happened yes..."

[Doji Fukawa]

"I would like to finish the game of sadane, if that is acceptable to you, Moto-san." Fukawa requests politely. "I was waiting for Soshi-san's reply. The downside of playing games with the host is they must stop frequently to attend to the other guests, but I was finding his commentary interesting."

[Ryuuta Tsume]

"I'm more physical than mental when it comes to competitions. I've tried Go a bit. I'm pretty bad at it though," he says with a chuckle. "Maybe if there's something that relies more on luck than skill."

"Perhaps Fortunes and Winds? It isn't something I would take to court but considering the company I don't think it would be out of place. I'm sure there are some dice around here somewhere."
