D5 [LE] Hail! Hail! Rock N Roll! (OPEN)

[Otaku Imane]

Imane was present and looking fabulous, having gone overboard with making herself beautiful in honour of Chi-Pu. Her usual smile was absent however as she put on a brave face for her departed sister.

She carried a linked set of drums in one hand and an odd stringed instrument, familiar to the Moto, in the other. In truth she looked a touch lost, but felt stronger when she spotted Butaj and Khulun. Releasing a deep breath she tried to relax, and looked around for the host.

(OOC: Feel free to PM if you want to chat but as mentioned I'm on extremely slow posting for a while. Didn't want to miss the thread )

[Shinjo Taichi]

She accepts the sake and nods vigorously after she pours. "I would be glad to hear more of her."

He took a drink before starting, forming his thoughts. "She was an inspiring presence during the Dark Ride for many, a honourable woman of strong morals and a leader who stood firm against all the things that beset us during that time. She has trained many of her fellow battlemaidens, including as I mentioned the Otaku heir Kitakuhime-sama."

He took a pause to refil his own cup. "I saw her many times during the last part of that journey. always at the front, encouraging others onwards. A true leader." Another short pause. "She will be missed, but her lessons and her spirit will not be forgotten."

[Matsu Kogo]

She accepts the sake and nods vigorously after she pours. "I would be glad to hear more of her."

He took a drink before starting, forming his thoughts. "She was an inspiring presence during the Dark Ride for many, a honourable woman of strong morals and a leader who stood firm against all the things that beset us during that time. She has trained many of her fellow battlemaidens, including as I mentioned the Otaku heir Kitakuhime-sama."

He took a pause to refil his own cup. "I saw her many times during the last part of that journey. always at the front, encouraging others onwards. A true leader." Another short pause. "She will be missed, but her lessons and her spirit will not be forgotten."

She nodded along with his words, listening intently. "This is also what I saw of her. She had a fearlessness and a strength that I greatly admired. In her, I saw much of what is spoken of in my ancestress Matsu, but in a different form. A fearless woman warrior, who would not let anything stand in the way of her duty, to others and herself."

[Bayushi Suteichi]

Suteichi started up another [urlhttps://youtu.be/vJouzJgQHtg]number[/url] since he saw others dancing.

[Moto Khulun]

"A late contribution, Sayyeda?" Butaj smirks, giving Khulun the skin back. "The important question here is what's better, Butaj without a beard or a beard without Butaj." Butaj makes a pause, then takes Khulun's hand. "Let's dance biyelgee for Chi-Pu. May the Father Moon and the endless sky see and hear we don't forget our best." He then rises and calls "Si Akil, biyelgee!" And intones right after, rushing to challenge other dancers and pulling Khulun with him.

[Shiba Kaizen]

Suteichi started up another number since he saw others dancing.

----------------

Perform:Samisen/Agility D5 2: 4d10o10k3 22

Kaizen kept up making two samisen's as one. He closed his eyes enjoying the music as his fingers deftly moved. He could only hope the music lifted the spirits of those present.

Perform Samisen/Agility 22

[Shinjo Akil]

Akil listens for the new tune before joining in himself, keeping an appropriate harmony with the rest of the musicians.

[Bayushi Hotaru]

Hotaru was present at the event since the beginning to support her kinsman, but perhaps she was overlooked as she was slightly on the short side. Her outfit was changed into a black kimono with a crimson haori. She watched the collaborations of musicians and the antics that were close by. On paper, it sounded like it would be a mess but they somehow made this...work?

[Shinjo Kemuri]

After a few cups, Kemuri felt more lively. Allowing the music to guide him, he danced.

He was pretty good. He urged any woman he could into joining him.

[Miya Mei]

Mei watched and listened as the event began. She eys those present and her gaze falls to Kemuri. She puts the fan she had drawn on earlier in the day in front of her face and watches as the man dances.

When he reaches a point he could respond, Mei bows to him.

"Good evening, Unicorn-san. I am Miya Mei. You dance well."

[Shinjo Taichi]

She nodded along with his words, listening intently. "This is also what I saw of her. She had a fearlessness and a strength that I greatly admired. In her, I saw much of what is spoken of in my ancestress Matsu, but in a different form. A fearless woman warrior, who would not let anything stand in the way of her duty, to others and herself."

"Those who stand at the front are often the first to fall." He kept silent for a time, downing his drink again before offering more sake to the Matsu.

"We knew when Shinjo instructed us to return that there would be a need for us here. And yet... I think many of us thought that we would find peace here." His expression turned hard "It seems that even here we must watch good people die." He appeared to be taking it personally.

[Shinjo Kemuri]

Mei watched and listened as the event began. She eys those present and her gaze falls to Kemuri. She puts the fan she had drawn on earlier in the day in front of her face and watches as the man dances.

When he reaches a point he could respond, Mei bows to him.

"Good evening, Unicorn-san. I am Miya Mei. You dance well."

He shifted his movements, to offer a deep bow. "Thank you, Miya-sama, your words humble me. I am Shinjo Kemuri. Would you care to join in the dance?"

[Matsu Kogo]

She nodded along with his words, listening intently. "This is also what I saw of her. She had a fearlessness and a strength that I greatly admired. In her, I saw much of what is spoken of in my ancestress Matsu, but in a different form. A fearless woman warrior, who would not let anything stand in the way of her duty, to others and herself."

"We knew when Shinjo instructed us to return that there would be a need for us here. And yet... I think many of us thought that we would find peace here." His expression turned hard "It seems that even here we must watch good people die." He appeared to be taking it personally.

She listened intently to him. "One always hopes for better days, does one not? Even a samurai must retire. And though he might wish to die a glorious death, I think it is easier to do so, than to live after another has died in such a way." She sips her sake, glad for something to soothe her heart.

[Miya Mei]

He shifted his movements, to offer a deep bow. "Thank you, Miya-sama, your words humble me. I am Shinjo Kemuri. Would you care to join in the dance?"

Her eyes look the man up and down while her face remains behind the fan.

"I could certainly try, though with a lead as skilled as you, I am afraid you would think I have two left feet."

She steps a little closer to the man however, keeping her fan raised.

[Shinjo Kemuri]

"I doubt that." he smiled. "All you need to do is move as the music leads you and enjoy yourself."
