Arrival OOC

[Yasuki Chad]

(ooc; I read it as Mitsuoko sending a written proclamation for Naetarue to spread. You are probably aware of both in short time. You would also note that the Crane position is not the only one. You likely get held up outside the gates as Yasuki and Crane Officers argue on weather to let you in or not.)

[Kakita Mitsouko]

OCC; Crane clan is not saying Senshi is not expected since he NEVER replied our invitation. Crane clan is also saying Lion will not enter. Is it clear now?
Of course Lion clan can asign petition for Hantei to request their presence in Toshi Ranbo... Would like to read the Emperor reply.

[Bayushi Senshi]

(ooc: I edited my above post :3 and will edit this one in a bit as well. Crystal clear Mitsouko, thank you. :3

I did state in this thread: rokuganee.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=ic&action=display&thread=1285

and in a pm to Naetaru, that I wanted to wait until the seppuku actions were over to make my appearance. But I really like where this is going so I'll run with it. Keep in mind that this is before the Scorpion clan has officially taken a stance and after the deaths of the scorpion in court.

[Doji Naetaru]

((OOC: First of all, Naetaru is not the announcer of the Crane Clan. The letter was written by Mitsouko and as I perfectly described in my scene with the Otomo, the Doji daimyo condoned her action. What's more is that Yasuki Chad didn't even meet Naetaru, so the Yasuki daimyo did not actually get to speak with him. If you wish we can arrange a scene for this dialogue to be done. The rest is expressed by Mitsouko whose decision I back.))

[Akodo Taiyo]

(OOC: I think we need an OOC thread to work out some of these difficulties.)

[Bayushi Senshi]

(ooc: was JUST about to do that. lol

[Bayushi Senshi]

I'm moving ooc posts here. :3

[Bayushi Senshi]

and done.

ok to clarify then, cause I'm still having some difficulties (too many people telling me different things)

Yasuki Chad was talking to no one.
The Crane clan is not allowing Senshi and any Lion access at all OR is not allowing any Lion access?
Is it ok that I gave a nameless Daidoji guard the responsibilty of telling me that my access was still being discussed or is the discussion over already and I'm not being let in at all?
I think I would be ok just knowing who and what exactly was said to Senshi.

Thank you.

[Akodo Taiyo]

I think we need a clarification on the Crane Hatamoto's letter concerning their position on the Scorpion. How did they become aware that Senshi was approaching the gate, how was the proclamation distributed, when would the Gate Guards become aware of such a thing?

You can't just write a proclamation and leave the specifics of its distribution unspecified, only to deny Yasuki Chad the opportunity to respond to it in a way that makes sense, as he explained in his post.

Furthermore, it has been shown that Senshi did in fact respond in an OOC fashion to the Crane invitation, with the express purpose of showing up right about now.

In light of this perhaps the Crane would like to revise their official position?

[Daidoji Fitsu]

Senshi, you are welcome to present yourself to the Emporer, as is any Champion's right, but a Lion escort is insulting to all of the Crane, Dragon, and Crab who died defending Unicorn lands from the Yobanjin. The Daidoji guard would hopefully have said something along those lines. I believe there were language barriers between players that led to your arrival being of the unexpected variety.

[Bayushi Senshi]

the crane knew of my arrival due to the diligence of their men and Hiromitsu's attendance in thier court in advance of me. I think the confusion rests in the distribution of Mitsouko's proclamation. How many people have heard these words? Would it really be unreasonable for Yasuki Chad to have said something on the matter? Clearly he had to have talked to someone, yes? Perhaps instead of Naetaru he spoke those words to a guardsman?

Naetaru you mentioned that you clearly discussed something with an Otomo, but to me, I'm afraid it wasn't quite clear. Can someone explain to me the significance of this scene? Thank you. :3

[Bayushi Senshi]

Thank you Fitsu, also Taiyo I don't think the stance should have to be changed, just some clarification is all. :3

[Doji Naetaru]

Sure, Yasuki Chad's reply began with an adress to Naetaru...which I am afraid cannot be done in the scene since Naetaru was at his quarters discussing with an Otomo bureaucrat.
The small snippet I have shown was that the Otomo came to Naetaru and handed the letter over to him, which Naetaru didn't know. He read it carefully and gave the response you saw at the scene. Naetaru was adressing the Otomo in the chamber where they were 2 people alone.

[Bayushi Senshi]

OOOOOOOOh ok, that helps. I was imagining that scene happening in court. :3

ok so then two matters left to figure out. Who do we want Chad to be talking to if not you, Naetaru, I don't want to bar his participation from this thread entirely. And what does Senshi know about whats going on inside? Are the crane letting me in like Fitsu said, or are they not? Is it ok that I had Hiromitsu move in to ask on my behalf?

[Doji Naetaru]

Don't get me wrong, it is not as if I don't want to discuss with Chad or don't wish him to participate in the scene. He can simply discuss this with any character he wishes.
The only reason I am saying that is in order to emphasize the unexpected nature of the letter and that even in that, that the Crane respond in unity.

Senshi, we just wish the scene to run smoothly concerning the feedback we all receive from each other's roleplaying. I trust you understand. The main thing is that the Crane, ask that the Scorpion enters without the Lion retinue, for they are one of the Clans that battle against the Emperor. Only with his permission will the Crane allow them to pass. It is not a matter of Clan retribution, but of respect to the grand authority.
Remember that the Crane have always been the Left Hand of the Emperor, we cannot forsake our role.
