[Day 3 - Early Morning] Prayers for Inspiration

[Bayushi Mariko]

It was an early morning, far too early for Mariko's liking after her late night. However, she supposed she was going to beat the early rush to visit the Temple of Shosuro, she had to drag herself out of bed to make a visit possible. She would show up at the temple in a simple blazer look with matching pants for the formality of her visit. Perhaps true to the diety, the temple was built with multiple entrances so visitors can enter without attracting too much attention. Often, celebrities were given this privilege.

At the inner sanctum of the temple, Mariko made a suitable donation and lit an incense. She settled down at one of the pillows and offered a prayer to Shosuro. In many ways, Shosuro could be considered the most renowned actor in the history of the Emerald Empire. While she might not have ever performed officially on stage, her legend was one filled with many supposed persona. They say that they might not be able to know all of her roles to this day. While she didn't have a hope to ascend to the same legend, Mariko did pray that she could find some inspiration in her presence.
