[EM D1] Thoughts into place (open)

[Togashi Shinko]

It's Shinko's custom to rise early and meditate. If anything, being in a strange new land with important tasks ahead of her is only reinforcing that notion. She crosses her legs and stiffens her back, trying to open herself to the universe.

As usual, it wasn't easy.


"I belong here. The blood of the Dragon runs through me. None of them deny it?"

And is that enough? A voice in her head whispers back.

Peace is hard to come by, and her thoughts are not in any more order, but she does feel refreshed for the day by the end.

EM Meditation/Void-Anxiety Roll | TN: 2 | Success: 1 / Opportunity: 1 / Strife: 1


Anxiety triggered to gain 1 Void at the cost of 3 strife.Opportunity to cancel strife on the roll.

Having not crammed into the group of well meaning samurai swarming the shrine of lesser fortunes, Yuji instead went to the Temple of Amaterasu. He overheard a most unusual comment that ended with 'Non of them deny it/' The uncertainty was....certainly intersting. Not that Yuji would eavesdrop in a public space, or interrupt the meditations of another.

So he offered his own prayers to the Sun for his success in the tournament and pretended he hadn't heard. Still, he hoped to converse with the fellow petitioner.

Anxiety is not triggered. No void point gained. Anxieties can only be triggered during dramatically appropriate events. There is no Void Point farming.

[Togashi Shinko]

Finished, and unable to settle her thoughts, Shinko kicks her legs out of the composed position and rises. She is a bit surprised to see someone sending a glance her way, causing her to raising a hand awkwardly.

"Hello. Hope your inner peace is going well"

"Hello. Hope your inner peace is going well"

Yuji wondered briefly how one rated the quality of their inner peace. Perhaps on a scale of ohm to one hand?

He bowed.

"I believe so, Dragon-san, thank you for asking. I am Kakita Yuji, at least for a while longer. I hope you have found my clan's hospitality to your liking thus far." he offered.

[Togashi Shinko]

The girl bows. "Very much. I find I have quite a bit of space to myself. I am Togashi Shinko... probably for a while."

Yuji smiled.

"A pleasure to meet you, Togashi-san. I've not had an opportunity to speak to a member of your clan yet. It must have been quite a long journey from your homeland all the way to Tsuma. I hope it was not too unpleasant, and that you may have even found beauty in the surrounding lands during your travels." he offered.
