Weather

The morning is a little chilly with light clouds covering the city and while afternoon brings gentle winds that scatter the clouds, the temperatures remain low. The evening is warmer with many samurai and heimin heading out, the public parks and gardens filled with people. The skies remain clear throughout the night, the two moons illuminating the city that never truly sleeps.

Kisei is waning crescent.
Hakusei is showing new moon.

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

The Communicator
After news of her mother's illness, an Ide returns to her childhood home to settle her family's affairs. While cleaning up the home, she finds an old communicator and begins using it after losing her own. She gets a call from an abused girl who lives with Moto mother who subjects her to old-fashioned rituals to rid her supposed ailments. They soon form a friendship together when they realized that they are living in the same home but 20 years apart in time. The abused girl prevents the Ide's mother's illness in the past while the other saves her from her abusive mother with information from her future. However, things begin to go awry when the abused girl reveals she has a dark side to her personality...

Commercial: Pick up yours today!

Scorpion1: Bayushi Senshuken seems to have a bright future laid out for her.
Scorpion2: What makes you think so?
Scorpion1: Well, she's so very loyal.
Scorpion2: Huh. I mean, some people.

Scorpion1: Mhmhm, that new wolf-girl I hired is pretty good.
Scorpion2: What's her name?
Scorpion1: Yurei. Like a ghost.
Scorpion2: Well, as long as she won't ghost you!

Scorpion1: That Dragon samurai is creepy.
Scorpion2: Mmhmhmh.
Scorpion1: Seems like the type of lady to step into KFC at 2am to buy 20 nuggets and nothing else.
Scorpion1: And then just stare creepily at the workers until her food is ready.
Scorpion2: You saw that?
Scorpion2: Kinda?

Scorpion1: Do you have a partner for the oshidama tournament tomorrow?
Scorpion2: Yeah, I am going with Yogo Genji-san.
Scorpion1: Yogo, really? What about me.
Scorpion2: Uh....
Scorpion1: Am I not good enough?
Scorpion2: I mean...
Scorpion1: He's hottie, isn't he?
Scorpion2: Uh-uh.
Scorpion1: *eyeroll*

Scorpion1: So, how goes your deck building?
Scorpion2: I think that Imperial Control will be the new meta.
Scorpion1: Really now? I suppose it'll eat the Shinobi midrange alive, but...
Scorpion2: Yeah, and with everyone playing Shinobi, aggro is dead.

Scorpion1: Soshi-sama got really lucky with her new talent.
Scorpion2: Mhmhmblrgh?
Scorpion1: You haven't had your tea yet?
Scorpion2: No. *yawns*
Scorpion1: Yeah, you should totally check out Hotaru Tsuya.. Tsuyo. I think. She had pretty wacky kanji on her name.
Scorpion2: What is she doing?
Scorpion1: Carving asteroids! With exploisives!
Scorpion2: That's rad.

Crane1: I have been thinking of getting a yojimbo.
Crane2: A ronin, really?
Crane1: No no, there's this Hare samurai I have my eyes on.
Crane2: Huh. What's their name.
Crane1: Usagi Rei.
Crane2: Oh them. Uh, that'd be more yohimbo, no?

Scorpion1: Umm, would you come with me to firework festival tomorrow?
Scorpion2: Oh my! Are you asking me out?
Scorpion1: Depends?
Scorpion2: On what?
Scorpion1: If you would want me to ask you out?
Scorpion2: *sigh*

Ronin1: You know Yurei?
Ronin2: Yeah, I know her.
Ronin1: Apparently she got hots for a Hare.
Ronin2: Her? Yeah good luck. You know how they treat ronin girls.

Scorpion1: Have you heard of that Kuni girl?
Scorpion2: Kuni? That one they say is a super pro Fantasy Fight player?
Scorpion1: No, not her! Kuni...Yukiko I think?
Scorpion2: Ah! Koyuki?
Scorpion1: That's the one! She's absolutely stunning!
Scorpion2: A Kuni? With the face paint and all? Really?
Scorpion1: You bet! A face to die for, lovely blue eyes, she's really something!
Scorpion2: You serious? I really wanna see her now!
Scorpion1: Well, you might have a chance! I've heard she'll be in high demand from all the musicians in town for the winter!

Gebu the ronin:
The lord called on the doshin to gather all their best
To slay a cruel ronin because he was her pest
A harsh tall man came forth to request a deft assist
But the bard was quite reluctant, the story had a twist
The Crimson One with the crimson rules
A vengeful lord with crimson blade
So gruesome and wicked trade
Oh, he painted walls with all the blood
He painted walls with all the blood
Oh, we're just fools
