Nakahama

"Kampai!" Ayame would cheer to the toast, putting the maximum force in the clinking of glass possible without risking either chipping glass or potentially causing spillage of beer. She tossed her glass back to take one, maybe three gulps, before stopping. "Damn, really feels so much better when you ...

Senshuken has so many things to say about this admission, varying from a simple I-told-you-so rubbed to Ayame's face and offering important pieces of advice on how to organize her government according to how she has seen her own mother doing it to a full scale confession of... attraction. Still it ...

Taraka nodded.

"I would be honored to, Yasuki-sama." she said moving to join the governor.

She thought about her discussion with Iwane about bar food. It'd been awhile since she'd seen him, hopefully he was doing well.

"So what are you in the mood for?" she asked.


"Anything that goes great ...

"No, I don't know." Senshu replies immediately. A million statements and another million questions come to her mind. Why wouldn't she leave. For Ayame she's the diplomat that caused a serious incident. The type of an incident that strains clan relations and ends careers. Leaving unharmed was the ...

Well that put would put Taraka on track for having spoken to all the named NPCs as well. Sadly, a couple were too dead to speak to.

"Good evening, Yasuki-sama. Congratulations on a successful series of events." she offered with a bar bow.


After her initial entrance, people are the izakaya ...

Ayame crossed her arms and turned a bit serious as she gave a few nods. "Yes, I did get the message about that earlier...Sooo, I guess you're just going to leave tomorrow, as you said?"

Her question lingered a little, as she still hadn't quite made up her mind about what to say. It wasn't quite to ...

There was a little bit of murmuring as the establishment saw an unexpected guest. Not that it was an important occasion, as the governor had been known to grace the Pink Lotus and parts of Lower Nakahama with her presence. Ayame inserted herself into the izakaya, dressed up a little more than usual ...

"Yes...Well..." Ayame said at first, before she figured that Honoka would find out soon. However, she had something else she wanted to attend to and would quickly bow. "Glad, you're doing well, Honoka-san. I don't know...We'll talk later! Excuse me!"


“Yes, fun. I'm having that, but it's time to ...

As Senshu murmurs the words to Kisha, she takes a single, casual step back. So casual it’s practically choreographed. Her shoulder bumps lightly into Ayame, who’s mid conversation with the wise Yasuki. The jolt looks accidental, a harmless slip of balance. She pivots smoothly, lowering her head ...

Mention of Kaito had Honoka suddenly very aware of herself. Knowing she wasn't in the best state, she felt that weight of needing to be careful. Mouth thinking out into a line in the space of time just long enough for her to jump for the lifeline in the conversation, "I am certain the province ...

"Always thought crabs were cool," she says, almost sub-vocally to herself. Kneading Crabbo a little bit with her thumbs as she thinks on that a bit. Laughing, a little, at the suggestion of what the adult equivalent would be. Honoka's gaze had naturally drifted down as it did when she wasn't ...

Honoka would dip her head when Kanna departed, a quick gesture so she could get into the meat of what she wanted to say. Which was good, because things were about to get deep and she nearly forgot to feel awkward about doing so in front of Kanna. With the space now for her, and Ayame, she would ...

"Ayame-sama then," she says warmly, and that warmth isn't coming from a place it would with Umiko, but it was coming from Umiko. This was Umiko's sister, and in that way she was special to Honoka too. Having taken the seat prior that was afforded her by Ayame she now sits with Crabbo resting ...

Honoka felt a little stunned, maybe because every social development she usually expects in some form or another. However, Ayame switching to her given name. Well, that felt... good. Yea, that felt really good. There was a warmth from it that had her thumb brush up against that stick in Crabbo's ...

When the monk would rush over to give Honoka water, Ayame would make her way over to one of the seating benches that they had assigned for observation and sitting off the effects of the drinking contest. A seat would magically clear for the governor, and she was glad to offer it to Honoka.

"Well ...

Ayame was rather oblivious to the rollercoaster of emotions that Honoka had just gone through right about now, unfortunately, merely just taking an amusing aside to pose with her gifted kimono for some camera-worthy poses, not that she knew if anyone was taking photos.

"She does have ...

"Umiko-chan might not be here right now, but I'm sure she'll hear all about it in the morning. I noticed a bit of news coverage too," she nodded, internally glad that there was the festival for the Silver Fin Production channels to immediately put their attention on rather than the ...

Kanna had cleared her head with some copious amounts of water after being ousted from the drinking contest, so that gave her some free time to approach the governor. Dressed in the same new yukata with crabs she had bought that day, she approached the Governor. A part of her had hoped to see Umiko ...

...And Yasuki Ayame was around at the Shrine of Wealth! Tonight, she was dressed in a sea-green yukata with sharp designs and contrasting colours. The popping floral designs were reminiscent that kind of made you think of oshidama balls or stylized fireworks. This was a much-appreciated donation ...

Ayame would give her a wave on the way out before she moved to lie back on the bed, letting a sigh as she found herself staring up at the high ceiling in thought.
