through poetry recitals, biwa playing, flower arranging and gossiping. If the Crane weren't such perfectionists they would win every war. The fact is they do poetry and music far too well. When will they realise that these things, when done terribly, are so demoralising and painful to hear that it will destroy any foe? I mean, honestly, could you put up with even a 10 minute biwa performance or poetry recital that was absolutely ghastly and clawed at your soul? ... It may be the reason why nobody wars with the Suzume.

Before we begin the battle, allow me to tell you about two mice stuck in a milk bucket.

*shudders*
Damn Suzume and their long stories!
It'd go something like this too...
"and the mouse that didn't drown, he swam until he churned that milk into cheese. He then ate the cheese and used the rest to escape. Then, 2 weeks later, he did the same again. He developed a technique... what was it called? Well, it doesn't matter. But my uncle told me that he started a cheese shop. Can you believe it? A mouse selling cheese and people not killing him on sight? Why, I imagine some thought he was a spirit mouse brought here from chikushudo no less! That reminds me of another story with a mouse. He had cheese too. Did you know mice like cheese? Well this mouse... or was it a rat? Anyway, this mouse..."
MAKE IT END!

I came this close to being Suzume, just to rant and rant. Fortunately for all of you the Monkey's pull was too strong. Feel free to make crude jokes about that.

Ah how like the Crane to forget that I am the son of a Sadane master. True you have splendid gardens of rice, and I'm sure the Lion and Crab are clamoring for your luxury items. You assume everyone needs silver ricebowls to fight a war. I wasn't aware that peasants practiced Sadane, how curious.

Kakita Alesha-san, that is going too far. Calling even a minor Clan samurai a peasant, let alone a direct descendant of the first Toku a peasant, to their face is a grave insult and unbecoming of a dignified samurai.
In addition, do you disrespect all of your ancestors who upheld and obeyed the Emperor that commanded the Toku Clan be created and the actions of the first Toku be celebrated and recognised? Have you no honour or sense of duty let alone respect for Rokugan's history? If you would explain now that you are blind and could not see that you were addressing a Toku family member then you should be forgiven.
Otherwise you ought to brush up on your courtesy you brash fool. I will gladly have any of our Mirumoto beat some sense into you if you cannot understand this lesson... I had thought better of the Kakita family. Perhaps their bushi training school is slipping in teaching its students elegance and honour? I would of course prefer to think that more than likely though you are an exception, though even then I find it curious they have allowed you to maintain the rank of Taisa for so long. I can only guess that you have capable aids who make sure that you aren't allowed to talk for fear of offending all those present with your rude and unwarranted insults

I can only guess that you have capable aids who make sure that you aren't allowed to talk for fear of offending all those present with your rude and unwarranted insults Wasn't Toku born a peasant, Yuushidahime-sama? Perhaps it is you who should brush up on history a little. By no means did I mean to offend dearest Toku... Despite his status of a traitor to all samurai holds dear - that is loyalty to his emperor. If he is indeed a samurai, something I have no doubt in personally, I am quite sure he is capable to defend his honor without meddling of Kitsuki. But as you seem to find it absolutely necessary to intervene as third party, I will be delighted to prove supremacy of Kakita's technique over any of your Mirumoto. But only after we bring peace to the Empire. As for your other questions, I am quite sure that amount of heads taken by my forces in the coming battles will make you see why I hold position of Taisa. But I would ask you to refrain from slanderous interpretations and insults in future... It doesn't help your points.

He was, his descendants were not. He also did not finish life a peasant. If you look far enough back Kakita-kun you will know that before the Kami, your ancestors were peasants too. Do not be so arrogant. My knowledge of history is sound. Your knowledge of history and custom are both flawed.
I am sure Hirotomo can defend his honour too. However, your breach of courtesy will always ruin your honour and your mere presence offends me so I would have the Mirumoto involved. I can understand your wariness at facing them though. One non courtier Toku you can verbally attack when they had not sought to offend you is surely more than a fair match for you. I would not wish to overburden you.
I am sure your allies would love to prove the supremacy of their technique but I fear you would be incapable of it for you do not possess Kakita's technique of elegance and poise, let alone sense of honour. I therefore doubt you could satisfactorily emulate his reknown fighting style well.
I see, you hold your position because you are bloodthirsty and savage. Perhaps your family are wise to keep you on the battle field so that you can actually attempt to find honour rather than spit poorly chosen words in court where you honour will just dimish even further.
As for slander and insults - my dear Alesha-kun, it is only slander when it is not true. As for insults - the same applies here and you have asked that I do not have the Mirumoto meddle in your insults. Please - am I to understand that you thought that Hirotomo Toku was a peasant who did not practice sadane and you also thought that verbalising that was not an insult? Perhaps my intepretations of the world around me are indeed false if you are to be right on such a venemous proposition!

The Kitsuki Daimyo has a valid point. Toku was samurai the instant he touched a blade, and was a far better man then you. You shame yourself, your clan, and Kakita-dono himself by your words. I am Samurai, and that means I show courtesy to even my most hated foe. Perhaps you had better brush up on Bushido, I believe that may even be in there somewhere. You prove yourself to have no courtesy, thus no honor. That is two against you, Kakita-chan. Mind your manners, I am a Clan Champion, and there is no Official Monkey position. You could kill yourself with your poorly chosen words.

I will be delighted to meet you and your kin on battlefield however.

So aside from all of this banter, I and another hantei supporter have hatched a grand plan. I implore any and all hantei supporters who have yet to formalize their military opinion in game to PM me PLEASE.

Betrayal? Has there been a Monkey option to choose a side?

There hasn't no. And Kenpachi is neutral. Only Hirotomo is pro Toturi, but he wisely hasn't announced his official position yet. Alesha is fudging it with ooc knowledge. I think that is frowned upon in roleplay. What is it called?
