Quote: Mantis Shenanigans:Susumu would look from Gemmei, back to Hisashi, back to Gemmei again. And he would consider Hisashi's words. Awareness/Etiquette (Conversation) vs TN 19 to resist manipulation: 10. Willpower roll vs TN 25 to avoid his compulsion: 29.The gears would turn in his head, before smiling. "Aye, aye, I see how it is. I'll just leave you with your lady friend..." Susumu would say, grinning. He would elbow Hisashi in the side playfully, adding in "Hisa-kuuuuuun!" Laughing, he would meander off. Not to see Kojiro, just to give Hisashi privacy. Gemmei would watch Susumu leave, unamused by the antics, before finally following up with her investigation with Hisashi. "Well, I did manage to pull Sayoko aside and speak with her. She would not tell me anything useful, except..."She would look nervous about continuing, giving a sideways glance to the duel that was just starting.
...Well. That worked. Sort of.
Hisashi decided to let Susumu believe whatever he wanted to believe and turned back to listen to Gemmei.
"Except what?"

Rain Yupa @ Mantis Shenanigans:"Except... she says she's already accomplished what she was meant to do. I don't know what that means, but I think it probably means somebody got hurt."She wanted to see Hisashi's reaction before deciding what to do next.
"Kuso..."
This was bad. This was very bad.
"Ok... we need to stay calm... We need to figure out what she's done, and if we have to, turn her in - if not kill her ourselves, what with her tendency to threaten anyone who remotely in her way. I've had enough of this game. To Jigoku with "destiny", I'm not going to let her get away with murder and treason. I already have a bone to pick with Kojiro, though he's already received his just and surprisingly benevolent punishment. Sayoko, on the other hand, is putting the both of us and the rest of the empire at risk, and I sure as hell did not come all this way to watch Rokugan fall apart because of one crazed samurai."
He may have come from a long line of pirates, but dammit, he had standards.

@ Mantis Shenanigans:
"We can't-!" Gemmei started to respond, before quieting herself down. "We can't just go around killing other samurai. We'll be executed ourselves! Either the command must come from her own lord, or magistrates in service of the Emperor can do so if for a good cause." she would inform Hisashi. They were samurai after all - not assassins.
"With the exception of exceptional individuals, like Toturi himself, one person cannot change an entire empire. She's dangerous, but not that dangerous, Hisashi-san."
--------------------
@ Iaijutsu Duel:
At this point, Sayoko would have won her duel, and she would not return the bow to Denbe. "I am but one sword draw away to proving myself to everyone," she would tell Denbe as he turned away, flicking the blood from her blade before resheathing it. She would then turn and march away.
WINNER: Horiuchi Sayoko
"And the winner of this match is Horiuchi Sayoko. The winner of the next match will be her next and final opponent." Benjiro would explain.
"We are down to either a Crab or a Dragon to face off against the fearless Unicorn woman. Kaiu Kagae, Mirumoto Sozen, show us which one of you is made of sterner stuff." Raicho would order, gesturing with both hands for the rival samurai to step forth.
"Kaiu-san. You were able to handle one sword earlier. Can you handle two? Show me how the Kaiu ingenuity will serve you." Mirumoto Sozen smiled, bowing his head slightly to the Crab.
--------------------
@ Crane Shenanigans:
"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem. He hasn't so much as made a peep since before the duels started. Make sure you don't miss the end of the duels! I wish I could watch them too. However, my duty is here." The Daidoji lad would bow to Zanzen, before walking off to continue his patrol.
As Zanzen stepped through the flaps of the tent, he would begin telling Koan about...
...
Huh.
Doji Koan had been nearly cleaved in twain, a large wound from his left shoulder down to almost his right hip. There was blood soaking everything, and his face was locked in an expression of horror. His eyes were rolled up in his head, his mouth agape, and he lay slumped over his tea serving table. Red fluid dripped from the sides, and small origami cranes that littered the area had become crimson and began to crumple in upon themselves.
Zanzen, give me a TN 10 Stamina roll to not get violently ill at the sight.
