Just another harmonizing challenge for HIkun. As long as the Spider meet his Kakita-based expectations there won't be any stabbing....probably. Most likely.

Y'know, if Yakumo gets an ooc thread about her music, it wouldn't be out of place to provide one about Usagi Drop! for the sake of the new players.

I'll let folks responsible for creating famous stuff do that themselves. Though Yakumo is a bit in a unique position in that she is sponsored by the Miya so she has inter-clan reach, whereas most artists remain famous within their own clans with limited reach outside of it.

Ahhh, so your advice is that we greet Kakita-san with a "Who? What's an Usagi drop, some kind of candy?"

The difference between normal clan stars and Crane clan stars is the Crane are grandmasters of making their problems everyone's problems.

Excellent point, truly :)

Maybe I'll play Crane again someday. Though I tend to fall much more into Doji and Asahina territory than Kakita or Daidoji.....though I think the last Crane was a Kakita at the TC trying to keep everyone from immediately shoving their new swords into their stomachs because they weren't the topaz champ.

"Ok, you're not THE best of the generation, but you are among the best of our generation, surely that is worth celebrating?"

"NO! If I am not THE best than I am a failure and deserve death!"

"Ok, but.....everyone else in the room is yelling the same thing, surely you don't believe that was the intent of the competition?"

"Don't care! I want death!"

Perhaps the lesson is, "Only use the Topaz Championship for introducing NEW players to L5R. Veteran players get waaaay too dramatic about it" XD
