It has been announced that the Phoenix Clan Champion will be chosen and that all those who want to attend may do so. Lodging has been set up around Kyuden Isawa in anticipation of a large crowd of people attending and several special rooms have been set aside for any honored guests of the Phoenix clan.

(OCC: A little of both, those that show up to the event can talk amongst themselves, but the actual ceremony will be an in game event. Though depending on who shows this could easily spin off other RPs that I would be more then happy to run.)

(OCC: If you plan to make an appearance just announce your arrival. I am describing the place that you will be staying below)
When you arrive to the city you are greeted by several Shiba. They escort you through the crowd of people already starting to gather for the event. They lead you to a lavish hotel in the city that is ordained with masterfully crafted images and pictures of Phoenix and the clans illustrious history. You are lead to the reception area to sign in and at that point the Shiba escort leaves you to allow the workers of the hotel to tend to your needs. The room that you will be staying in will be prepared for you while you are given access to explore the hotel and the city. All of your belongings will be stored and if you wish to clean up after a long journey then a bath can be arranged as well. Any members of your party will be given smaller rooms that are adjacent to your room.
(OCC: I am going to be waiting a couple days for everyone to arrive unless I hear from all of the major clans before then. I just want to give everyone enough time to arrive that wants to arrive)

(ooc: to clarify, there is not gonna be an in game action. No clicks in EE, just an rp regarding the champion of the clan.)
Bayushi Senshi arrived ahead of any other delegates from the scorpion clan, he was clearly uncomfortable with being there and had no intention of staying any longer then appropriate without seeming insulting. He forgo the bath in favor of awaiting other arrivals from his clan or any friends.

(ooc: Senshi, shall we say this happens after the rp we have set for you, Shizuyo and Hime?)
Yuushahime's entourage was shown in without incident. The trip had been uneventful and relatively short but that suited her just fine. The message had been passed to the other Dragon Lords but she had not heard back. Yuushahime's first order of business is a bath. Even the short trip had taken some days and she didn't like to present herself without looking her best - she leaves the others to unpack and find out the agenda and times for the upcoming ceremony.
She spots the Scorpion Lord briefly and gives him a wide smile but in truth she wants to avoid him until she is ready. She gestures that she will see him again later, allowing herself and two guards to be led away by the hotel staff. It wasn't long before she was relaxing with just her towel in the women's baths after washing herself. She noticed it was quite empty, which caused her to sigh blissfully before she started humming an old tune she remembered while admiring the view of outside. She looked forward to meeting the other dellegations but it could wait, she decided, for her to be done relaxing.

A small entourage of courtier assistants flanked by yojimbo bearing the colors of gold and tan, emblazoned with crests of lion faces and paws soon arrived outside the walls of the castle to be hosting the momentous event. "Once again I am within the lands of the Phoenix to bear witness to their unique design aesthetics. I hope that these proceedings shall end up being just as fruitful, if not more so, than the last." commented a middle-aged man centered amid the panoply of the Lion arrival. He adjusted himself on his saddle and thanked the guards for their escort and allowed himself to be led within. He made preparations for there to be writing implements and paper for his chambers once he had finished with the customary after travel bathing and grooming.

(Ok if this happens after that then that frees up some of us to attend Tomatsu road on his great black horse Lioness, appearing more Champion-like, sitting straight in his saddle, wearing the finest kimono of black with the Lion mon emblazoned on the back. Behind him, amongst the group of assembled Lion Clan Samurai, were several dozen servants of his personal care beyond those of the collected Samurai, some Lion making the great effort to arrive together. A lone rider on a lesser Rokugani Pony approached the Shiba guards, she wore a white headscarf tradition to the Buring Sands and a light breastplate with the Lion mon on it. She addressed the guards. Make way for the Lion clan Champion Akodo Tomatsu and all those honorable Lion clan samurai who travel with him. She stated, her headscarf covering up her obvious contempt for such rituals. No doubt these men had been warned by their own scouts or magic long before the traveling party reached the gates. But honor demands sacrifice and if one must sacrifice her dignity to please her lord, I will happily give. She thought as the Shiba, moved methodically to open the gates in perfect timing so that the travelers didn't have to stop. A single Shiba, in her clan colors approached the great black steed of Tomatsu, he slowing down so as not to plod on right past her. Champion-sama, if your party will follow me, I will take you to your lodging. With a polite nod of her head, she turned around and began to guide the massive party through the crowds and after awhile, they arrived at the hotel. Tomatsu dismounted, and the other samurai of his party gathered around him. He waited for a brief moment for the samurai to gather around, before following the Shiba up the steps and into the Inn. He ignored all of the others gathered around, there would be time for greetings and pleasantries later. The great party snaked through the Inn till they reached the room with the massive ledger. She gestured for the Lion samurai to place their names down so that the historians could get an accurate counting of who was present. An astute student of history, Tomatsu wrote his name first, representing the head of the Lion delegation. After he was greated by a young woman, barely past her 20s, who bowed deeply to him. Follow me Champion-sama, I shall take you to your quarters.Forget that, young miss. I require a nice bath, the riding has injured me more than 100 battles, and the only cure is a nice long bath.She blushed a bit, both at the thought of the champion bathing that reflexively passed through her mind and at the frankness with which he addressed her. She polity bowed and lead him off to the bathing facilities.

Koji taps his sandals together, ridding himself of a bit of mud they'd picked up on the road. He used the route he'd taken through the area months before, coming upon the Shiba from behind, and then giving them his papers.
He was no champion, after all. No doubt if Setsuro-dono sought to attend, Koji's room would be rearranged. But for now he would insure the allies he'd gained amongst the Phoenix knew he was present at this event.

Kuni Kaymar smiled as he received notification of who would be attending representing the Crab. Being the Crab ambassador to the Phoenix perhaps might have some benefits. Perhaps.
After summoning several attendants and dispatching them to make rooms ready within the embasy Kaymar returned to his personal room and prepared for the event. He wasn't one for open displays of finery - impressive, breathtaking, but realistically a waste of resources - but was reminded again by that little voice in his head telling him that he represented not just the Witch Hunters, not just the Kuni, but the whole of the Crab. With a shrug, and appropriate help, he donned the finest full set of robes he had. Feeling slightly like an overdone lobster, the Crab made his way to meet and greet.

(OOC: I am forgotten by the Yuusha *sobs quietly* Just the rp stuffs, but I knows I can waits till you're good and ready. MOAR RP!)
One of the first few Unicorn to arrive after the letter summons were received in Shiro Moto was Utaku Haruka. Riku, her black Utaku stallion came to a firm halt, he'd been ridden more than normal but was holding well. Although some slight resentment seemed to be apparent silently between horse and rider as he grew a bit rigid, wondering why he had to be her traveling horse and not her warhorse.
The stable workers would have little trouble with him though as Haruka bowed to the Shiba attendants as she went inside with a few belongings. When quickly addressed with her needs by the hotel attendants she seemed to quickly ask amidst the other arrivals, "Has Bayushi Senshi-sama arrived yet?" They of course naturally nodded.
"Then I would request my lodging for the night be near him, I need to speak with him quite urgently as is." Understanding and noting her firmness and straightforwardness on the matter the attendants wasted no time. She was lead to her place as she began to change a bit, she would not be able to wash fully but did at least strive to make herself presentable as she unpacked one of her few belongings. In full kimono she emerged with a fan and a sumi-e set, but before she would attend to anything else she of course went to speak with the Scorpion Champion first as it seemed urgent enough. Approaching his guard, she bowed naturally as they knew her on sight.
"I hope I might be able to speak briefly with Senshi-sama. I do not wish to spoil the evening but, I will either send him a note or speak with him myself if I might." She humbled herself as she always did, even if they were betrothed.

Kuni Kaymar smiled as he received notification of who would be attending representing the Crab. Being the Crab ambassador to the Phoenix perhaps might have some benefits. Perhaps. While attending to the necessary, after travel rituals so loved by the Empire, Koji wrote a quick message down and gave it to one of the Kyuden's servants to deliver to the Crab ambassador. The message is in the short, abrupt brush strokes favored by many Hiruma scouts, and with it is a bottle of sake, freshly brought from Crab lands and yet bearing the seal of a prominent Yasuki merchant from Clear Water Village. The message: Kuni Kaymar-sama, I, Hiruma Koji, greet you and in lieu of my personal attendance as I just arrived from the road, offer up this bottle of sake. As I have no pressing news, I saw fit to attempt to waylay any efforts by the other clans to call one of Setsuro-dono's servants unclean or uncourtly. Nevertheless, I am here at your service barring Setsuro-dono's arrival of course. I am primarily a warrior and scout, but my sensei has seen fit to give me a smattering of training in the courtly arts, and so perhaps I may be of use during our time here. ~Hiruma Koji
