D6 - Tiger 17th

+++Thought for the Day+++
Those who act in honour cannot fail.

Weather
The skies remain clear throughout the day with gentle northern winds keeping the city warm even if the temperatures don't raise quite as high as the day before. The warm evening sees swarms of ghost moths fluttering around in the gardens, the gently shimmering insects chased around by the ever-hungry dragons.

Kisei is waxing crescent.
Hakusei is showing first quarter.

[D6 ME] The Concert

Playing today at Once Upon A Theatre in Horogai mall...

Vortex
A strange corruption descends on a quiet coastal town where it makes various residents obsessed with things that are vaguely spiral in appearance. A young woman and her betrothed don't suspect much at first but it seems that this obsession begins to manifest itself physically, bestowing all sorts of strange deformities that are spiral-like in nature such as living hair, snail-like animal qualities, and other grotesque body-horror afflictions. The young woman attempts to escape the madness that begins to infest more and more of her town but it may be already too late to escape the vortex from consuming the town from without and within.

Scorpion1: Ready for tomorrow?
Scorpion2: I think so, my costume's been ready for a week or so?
Scorpion1: Wicked. So, what are you going as?
Scorpion2: You'll see.
Scorpion1: Oh come on. You can tell me.
Scorpion2: Can I? *giggle*

Scorpion1: The UG vid was sick?
Scorpion2: What UG vid?
Scorpion1: Someone went into Desolation and...
Scorpion2: Uh-huh. Where did you get that?
Scorpion1: Can't really tell you, you know.
Scorpion1: Anyway, it was done by this guy called Dai.
Scorpion2: Dai?
Scorpion1: Yeah, Dai.
Scorpion1: Anyway, I had no idea what's out there.
Scorpion2: So what's out there?
Scorpion1: Dude. Monsters.
Scorpion2: Soo, a Spider diva?
Scorpion1: No, I meant real monsters, like Gaki and stuff.
Scorpion2: Sounds like Spider to me!

Some point at 4 AM, somewhere in Artificial islands
Drunk Mantis1: So, we are having a sick party at the embassy today.
Drunk Scorpion1: Really now? Am I invited?
Drunk Mantis1: Yoritomo's Nutsack! Everyone is invited!
Drunk Scorpion1: Is there beer?
Drunk Mantis1: Aww yeah. And music. And people in swim-wear. And Big-Ass Yoritomo-made loud hailers! Epic!

Scorpion1: Huh. That Spider is really something.
Scorpion2: Who did she sleep with now?
Scorpion1: Uh... no-one. Probably. But it seems that she thinks Soshi Kazumi makes awful music.
Scorpion2: But I like her music!
Scorpion1: Yeah, me too.
Scorpion2: That diva must have slept with too many ronin to get messed like that.

Scorpion1: So, Susumu Yakumo.
Scorpion2: Whom this time?
Scorpion1: Yurei, the ronin.
Scorpion2: Right, one more on the list.
Scorpion1: She's cute, though?
Scorpion2: Yakumo?
Scorpion1: No, Yurei.

Mantis1: So, what do you think about Susumu-sama?
Mantis2: Susumu Yuji-sama?
Mantis1: Yeah, him.
Mantis2: I think he has hots for for the Watanabe heiress.
Mantis1: Isn't he married?
Mantis2: Isn't that just technicality?

Scorpion1: So, went to flip cards.
Scorpion2: And?
Scorpion1: Got trounced by a spunky Bayushi.
Scorpion2: Bayushi Senshuken-sama?
Scorpion1: Yeah.
Scorpion2: As they say.
Scorpion2: Mess with the best, get knocked out like the rest.

Spider1: Susumu Yuji-sama has a really beautiful wife.
Spider2: Doesn't he?
Spider1: Makes you wonder why he keeps eyeing other women.
Spider2: I mean, Yaku-pin is awfully cute?
Spider1: She is, isn't she.

Scorpion1: Crab are just awful.
Scorpion2: What do you mean?
Scorpion1: I heard they found two read ronin in a ditch behind the House of Stone.
Scorpion2: Huh. Spies?
Scorpion1: No. Crab subcontractors.

Heimen1: There's a convention today!
Heimen2: So many conventions. There was Fan Con last month. Runway Con last week and the Motor Meetup was just yesterday!
Heimen1: But it's Realm Expo! That's one of the big ones!
Heimen2: Oh, I better roll out a special menu for today.
Heimen1: Don't you just serve the same thing all the time?
Heimen2: Yes, but they'll have special names. Con-goers just eat up that stuff.

Crane1: O.M.K! I just had a wild idea!
Crane2: What? You have to spill the details if you're going to freak out like this!
Crane1: Notice that Asahina Hinata and Susumu Yakumo were together at Oshidama?
Crane2: Don't mean that both of them are...
Crane1: You guessed it!
Crane2: They're secretly d-
Crane1: They're hinting that Susumu Yakumo is going to be the next member of Usagi Drop!
Crane2: Wait, what?! This wasn't where I think it was going to go.
Crane1: The entertainment world is going to go NUTS! The best two acts in the galaxy, together!

Scorpion1: Where are all of the Mantis samurai this season? Did they all leave to do some raiding?
Scorpion2: What do you mean? They Mantis have sent their best samurai, have you heard of Yoritomo Seika?
Scorpion1: Should I? Is there an Imperial ransom on her?
Scorpion2: No, she's the heiress of a big Mantis company and a shrewd businesswoman.
Scorpion1: Maybe a company of pirates! I bet all of her business transactions are made with boarding and at gunpoint!

Dragon1: The Lion sending a journalist here to show more about the righteous personalities of the World of Dreams seems like a very difficult task.
Dragon2: Yes, indeed. But, it is an effort worth taking. So many honorable souls that don't have a voice.
Dragon1: I agree. Specially with all the propaganda going on.
Dragon2: I wonder when her next article will pop up.

Ronin1: Oi, buddy - remember that about the Chrysanthemum being open-handed this winter?
Ronin2: 'Course I do! I've been working twice as hard since we've heard that.
Ronin1: You might want to work even harder. Seems like some of them have even been scouting some Ronin to adopt into one of their families.
Ronin2: Wait... what? Seriously?
Ronin1: So I've heard! Must be one of the Miya, I think.
Ronin2: But... taking in the likes of us? I just can't believe it...
Ronin1: Are you ready to just pass on such an opportunity?
Ronin2: I guess not! Triple shifts, here I come...

Scorpion1: Bayushi Ryuuhei is metal as gridiron!
Scorpion2: Oh yeah?
Scorpion1: Apparently he's setting up a gig?
Scorpion2: Oh yeah?
Scorpion1: They say last time, three people died in the moshpit.
Scorpion2: Now that's metal.

Scorpion1: The Fantasy Fight qualifiers were so brutal! Some of the best players in the game were ousted pretty early. I guess they couldn't predict some of the new decks.
Scorpion2: Do you think that Bayushi Senshuken could be the next biggest thing?
Scorpion1: The way she dismantled Susumu Jouichirou's newest deck was absolutely brutal. It was painful to see that happen on stream even.
Scorpion2: If she keeps it up, maybe she'll get sponsorships!

Nari-chan Live!
The popular digital video personality, Nari-chan the Kitsune, makes her online appearance to her fans. She chats with her fans while playing a few rounds of Mochi Crush.


"Oooouuu, this round was pretty tough but it looks like I got through it. Thank you, everyone! I think I'm getting better thanks to your support! " Nari-chan beams happily with closed eyes.
"It's been a while since I've sung something, maybe I should sing something to thank you all! Do you have any requests? "
Nari-chan bobs her head happily as she takes in the responses flooding through her chat. "Oh? Something from Susumu Yakumo? Yeah, I heard she's wonderful and a very generous soul! She's running a concert too? Hm! Maybe I should donate the proceeds of my next concert to needy ronin too! She's so nice! Mm! Mm! I wish her luck in the concert, she's going to do so well!"
