EA6 Party: Kite Flying I (Training grounds)

[Seppun Urusai]

Urusai ventures outside and smiles as he sees who is present. Still smiling, he constructs his kite, sending it aloft--and doing decently well with it.

Something moves out of the corner of his eye, though, and he reels in the kite...

Void/Games, TN 1, https://sakkaku.org/rolls/2839; passes at 2 sux, 2 opps, 1 strife

If Stance/Approach applies, spend opps to "Feel a chill down your spine, notice a sudden silence, or detect another sign of the supernatural if there is a spiritual disturbance in the scene. Extra [opp] gives an increasingly precise location for the supernatural occurrence."

If Stance/Approach does not apply, 1 opp to eat strife, 1 opp to get less-precise sign of the supernatural

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

"Ohayo, Kasumi-san!" Sakura approached with a smile and bowed to the Mantis girl. "You're doing well! Thank the Kami the windy is providing much assistance today, yes?"

"Ah, Asahina-san, every day in Tsuma seems I'm doin' somethin' I'd never done before, but I think I'm gettin' th'hang of it."

She grinned and played out a bit of line.

"S'abit like lettin' a topsail get away from ya."

[Asahina Sakura]

Sakura grinned back, "As long as you can find something familiar in the unfamiliar, it can be considered a good day, yes?"

Her head tilted slightly at an ephemeral whistle, clearly designed to get her attention, and she looked from the Mantis' kite's antics to spot the Seppun, grin shifting to something different.

A spiritual disturbance was, indeed, an understatement, as Sakura's ghostly chaperone was still inflamed and shouting at the kites in the sky.

Take her down! Attack swiftly, cunningly, and without remorse! Dive, boy, DIVE!

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

Sakura grinned back, "As long as you can find something familiar in the unfamiliar, it can be considered a good day, yes?"

Her head tilted slightly at an ephemeral whistle, clearly designed to get her attention, and she looked from the Mantis' kite's antics to spot the Seppun, grin shifting to something different.

Kasumi followed the Crane's glance.

And felt certain fiendish wheels turning in her mind.

"So. Who's th'handsome fella over there?"

[Asahina Sakura]

"So. Who's th'handsome fella over there?"

"A boy!" she basically squeaked, recalling the conversation with the Mantis girl the other day, Sakura flustered.

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

"A boy!" she basically squeaked, recalling the conversation with the Mantis girl the other day, Sakura flustered.

"Yes, very good, but y'seem t'know this one. If y'don't remember his name, reckon I'll have t'introduce m'self."

She batted her eyes at the Asahina.

"Unless you object, a'course?"

[Asahina Sakura]

"Why, um, why would I, object?" her brow creased in confusion. "That's um, Seppun Urusai-sama?"

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

"Why, um, why would I, object?" her brow creased in confusion. "That's um, Seppun Urusai-sama?"

"I dunno, why would you?"

[Asahina Sakura]

"Uh! Seppun-sama can talk to whoever he likes!" she sputtered!

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

"Uh! Seppun-sama can talk to whoever he likes!" she sputtered!

"An yet y'seem t'be gettin' agitated... d'you need some assistance, Asahina-san?"

[Asahina Sakura]

Where was her fan?!
"No! Um, I'm not agitated at all, Kasumi-san; it's not my intention, if you want to go introduce yourself, um, I have other things I need to attend to? So it's no bother to me at all!"

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

Where was her fan?!
"No! Um, I'm not agitated at all, Kasumi-san; it's not my intention, if you want to go introduce yourself, um, I have other things I need to attend to? So it's no bother to me at all!"

"Hm, lemme see... c'n ya hold my kite-string, Asahina-san?"

And then she was off.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

"Pardon me, Seppun-sama, this one was wondering something..."

[Seppun Urusai]

"Pardon me, Seppun-sama, this one was wondering something..."

"Ah, yes," Urusai responds just as he's gotten the kite-string coiled well. "Kasumi, daughter of the Mantis, was it not?"

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

"Ah, yes," Urusai responds just as he's gotten the kite-string coiled well. "Kasumi, daughter of the Mantis, was it not?"

"Asahina-san seems a mite flsutered. Could be my rustic mannerisms... I was wonderin' if you'd go make sure she's all right?"

[Seppun Urusai]

"Asahina-san seems a mite flsutered. Could be my rustic mannerisms... I was wonderin' if you'd go make sure she's all right?"

"Your concern is admirable," Urusai replies, nodding. "What were you discussing?" he adds, noting "I'd not want to poke a sore spot, if it could be avoided."

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

"Your concern is admirable," Urusai replies, nodding. "What were you discussing?" he adds, noting "I'd not want to poke a sore spot, if it could be avoided."

"Oh, just who we know 'round here. But I c'n be quite unpolished, as I'm sure Seppun-sama has noticed..."

[Seppun Urusai]

"Oh, just who we know 'round here. But I c'n be quite unpolished, as I'm sure Seppun-sama has noticed..."

"I hadn't, actually," Urusai says. "And it's been said humility is quite becoming."

He grins. "It's also said that a coat of wax does wonders for polishing."

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

"I hadn't, actually," Urusai says. "And it's been said humility is quite becoming."

He grins. "It's also said that a coat of wax does wonders for polishing."

"Reckon we'd need a lotta wax t'deal with my situation..."

[Seppun Urusai]

"Reckon we'd need a lotta wax t'deal with my situation..."

Urusai laughs.

"Well," he says, "I'll not speak to that. But I will happily accompany you back to Asahina-san, as I'd not want to take away your conversation partner."

[Yukikaze no Kasumi]

Urusai laughs.

"Well," he says, "I'll not speak to that. But I will happily accompany you back to Asahina-san, as I'd not want to take away your conversation partner."

"Right this way, Seppun-sama... maybe y'can translate..."

Black sails on the horizon!

"Thanks for holdin' th' kite for me, Asahina-san! I'm hopin' Seppun-sama can help ya out here..."

I am SO good at this!
