[Miya Nishida]

Being an Imperial Samurai of high status was not always a blessing, especially when someone wanted your opinion on your sake.

After what felt like 1000 servants bringing him sake and asking his opinion, Nishida finally tried to socialize with samurai of his status, but the effect of the sake was felt and eventually he dropped the Imperial mask every now and then and default to his crab roots.

In the chaos between being drunk, servants who wanted to make him even drunker and the other samurai, Nsihida was unfortunately not able to get a picture of the commercial ways and after the amount of sake he had consumed, he ultimately did not care either.

[Hotaru Sakura]

Sakura arrived with Yurei on her arm.

"Erm...the invite said bring your friends. So I brought her. Well, you should ave specified that. Fine, fine, she's my yohimbo. What, don't believe me? This is Yurei, Ghost of Fury Present. I know she looks cute, but just try to take the last onigiri from the box, she'll gut you with her teeth. Wanna try? No? Thought so."

She turned away from the guards...and started elegantly hoofing it inside. "Oh man, that was close!" She patted Yurei on her hand. "C'mon, let's get something to drink and then mingle. It's what important business people call talking while drunk. Mingling. Katsotushi-sama taught me that."

She took a sip of Red Swallow Blend, which was nice and earthy. "Kind of like what the Hotaru like, though this is light. If it can't be used to run an engine, than it's a chaser, is their rule."

After drinking she waved to her friend, and started talking. She managed to hold her own, surprisingly. Being an innocent charming little Firefly seemed to have its advantages. "Ah yes, I only drink on occasion, you know. But this stuff? This stuff is greeeeeeeeat!"

Next up came the serious business talk. "Buy Firefly Steel ingots, best in the galaxy, ore else!" Yes, she did wink and made sure to pronounce or as ore. Despite the terrible slogan, people seemed to take it in stride. Or were drunk and would laugh at a monkey wearing a hat and heels.

OOC:
Sakura is bringing Yurei, Ghost of Fury Present, as her yohimbo. Sakura is Persona Non Grata.

[Bayushi Ryuhei]

The story of the evening, sung later:

As I was comin' over
To Biochem for chattin'
I saw some merchant patrons
Black Blossom they're decantin'
I first produced my hand-eh
I then produced my cup-eh
I said, "Stand and deliver oh, or the oni he may take ya"

EE2. Event. Bottoms up! Stamina. VP. | 4k4 ⇒ 17 (TN: 20)

[Fail!]

I talked all of her money

No, never would she trick me
But the oni take that woman
Yeah, for you know she tricked me easy

[Utterly glorious alcoholic fail!]

[Ide Yamako]

Yamako knew that alcohol could hamper the mind but she had spent the day trying to look over correspondence, reports and other related paperwork for the family while planning her next moves on the World of Dreams. She needed a break.

If anyone asked, she didn't want to take the chance of it affecting her negotiations. Here's hoping my tolerance has improved since New Kalani.

She allowed someone to pour her some of the Dark Blossom, enjoying the perfume of it and sipping delicately.

However, her small nature got the best of her and clearly this was some excellent sake. Ah well. Time to mingle. At least she felt a little more relaxed now.

Relaxation is clearly not the name of the game here however. She nearly spills her drink on an ambassador and bumps into another one when trying to bow to apologize. She can feel the fan of her mother hovering above her head.

https://sakkaku.org/d10-rolls/3504

Deciding to move with caution, she listens carefully to the conversations around her and sips a bit of water. While she moves to the bar she overhears an interesting tidbit and files it away for later.

1 Information point for the unicorn.


OOC: The third roll shows 2 raises called, but this was a typo and the correct TN was put into the roll box. Checked with Tassu.

[Soshi Kazumi]

Kazumi arrived in much different attire than most were used to seeing them in wearing a traditional dark red kimono with gold floral patterns and a thick obi. The Soshi also sported dramatic winged eye make up. One honestly probably wouldn't be able to know it was Kazumi except they had their signature mask on still.

Kazumi moved around the part gracefully with a drink in hand the whole time but those in the know could tell it wasn't any of the beverages on offer tonight.

The fact they weren't drinking made people a bit less trusting as to why the Soshi was at this drinking event but Kazumi was deft in their social maneuvering with many merchant patrons and learned a fair amount.

[Tamori Baiko]

Baiko was having a grand old time with the Red Swallow Blend. She appreciated the earthy flavor profile, finding something comforting in the peat notes and the consistency of it all.

Still, while she was quite able to profile the fine sake on offer, the mysteries of human nature was ineffable to the Dragon priestess. Baiko was as subtle as a landslide when attempting to discern more details about the Red Swallow genshu, her interest quite genuine in wishing to acquire more.

Her ardent nature failing her, Baiko - unwilling to give up - used her spectacular intuition to try to figure out whom it was she should inquire with as to how to procure more of her newfound favorite. A sudden wooziness overtook her, different in sensation to drunkenness but to the casual observer it would seem as it Baiko had perhaps enjoyed herself beyond her own reckoned toleration!

Bottoms up! = Pass (17 vs. TN 15)
