(D1, LE) Singing to the waves (Open)

[Hato]

"And you network in meetings like this one?" Koroshi asked with curiousity. "Or perhaps you are famous in the city, and now rely on your clout for offers? Does Hato-san have a webpage for her services or a name card? I have never quite understood how ronin gain their duty, mine has always been rather directed from above. It seems much simpler if far more restrictive that way. But please, my apologies if I have offended you with the question. I know to discuss one's duty can be a private thing."

The Otomo shrugged at himself and then got an idea. "Would you like to see me dance now? I am not entirely dressed," he gestured to his pants which were not made of stretchy material, "but something slow wouldn't be impossible. Or you could join me at a club after I have had time to change."

"Ie, this one is not famous, nor has clout, a web page, or even a business card. It is a matter of chance meetings at times, or asking those who know who needs what and forging the connection that way. It is ultimately very old fashioned in it's own way."

She shakes her hhead at the apology.

"There is no grounds for offense Lord Chrysanthemum. This one is honored to provide answers to Lord Chrysanthemum's questions no matter how insufficient the answers may be."

She thought a moment.

"This one will likely have to take a rain check on Lord Chrysanthemum's offer to watch him in a nightclub, this one intends to turn in for the evening after this stroll. But if Lord Chrysanthemum feels inspired to do a slow dance before the waves, this one shall count themselves fortunate indeed."

"Ah, then would you accept my card?" He adjusted his shirt to pull a card from his pocket. It is white with handwritten name and number. The back has a doodle of a skyline. "I cannot promise any ability to reply quickly, but I do not forget to reply once I notice it. My duty being what it is...I can get busy. Or at least I hope I am busy! It is vital not to slack while you have time to work."

He took a moment to stretch and then gestured for her to back up a second. "Do you have a favorite boy band or idol? I can do most anything."

Hato takes the card in both hands.

"Ah, this one could share her communicator information with Lord Chrysanthemum, if he wishes to contact this one." she offered.

She smiled briefly at the offer.

"Do whatever inspires you Lord Chrysanthemum, true art comes from within after all."

He backed up a bit further and nodded without much thought. "Of course, just give me a second."

The hat is removed so he can hold it in his hand. Then he loses every bone in his body as he collapses onto the sand. He rose and then moved like water across the dune without concern for his joints or anything. He was completely made of rubber.

Stetching finished Koroshi began to count out loud: "One, two..."

He moved with an ease and sensuality that was completely at odds with his normal demeanor.

It took about three minutes but he finished with a clean move back onto his feet.

FLUFF. Dance on the beach. TN30 (15 + 3 raises). Void spent to gain +1k1. | 8k5 ⇒ 42 (TN: 30)

[Hato]

Hato was visibly impressed with the Imperial's performance.

"This one....has no words, Lord Chrysanthemum, equal to what this one has witnessed. This one...is truly amazed...and honored that Lord Chrysanthemum would share such artistry with one so low as this one." she said, clearly blown away. "Lord Chrysanthemum's mother's legacy is in good hands."

[Otomo Koroshi]

Koroshi took out his silk square to dab at the sweat beading on his forehead and cheeks. "Thank you, thank you. I am honored to accept your praise."

He put the hat back on his head and smiled towards the Seppun who was trying to get his attention. "My mother would likely have suggested a few things to fix, but on the sand in such conditions I am pleased that I did not damage my pants." He brushed the sand off and then nodded at the Seppun who indicated that the hour was late.

"Ah, I must make haste to the embassy! I would not wish to give Seme-san any issues with making his report and rising early to do his own duty!" The Otomo played a little with his ring before remembering what Hato had said moments before he had begun dancing. "I would be radiant with joy to accept your number, Hato-san."

Hato fished out an outdated and battered communicator so she could display her contact info for the Otomo to add her information to his.

"Of course, Lord Chrysanthemum. This one could not in good consciousness beg Lord Chrysanthemum for a moment more of his time. This one is already honored beyond words." she offered.

[Otomo Koroshi]

Koroshi accepted it with a few quick clicks on his own, much newer device. "A million thanks, Hato-san. You may expect a short confirmation message in a second or so."

He finished clicking and then submitted.

Hato-san, this is Otomo Koroshi (fifth of his name, son of Otomo Hajime and Otomo Karen). Please accept my message.

"Fortunes carry you to your home, Hato-san!" He yelled at her as he walked towards the waiting Seppun and their ride back to the embassy.
