*-a side chamber of the great winter court at Kyuden Bayushi seems taken up by a large Kabuki stage. Various actors, singers, dancers, and other entertainers have been putting on acts at various times, but on this cold winter night a short man bearing the mons of the Scorpion and Yogo takes the stage alone. His smooth black mask only shows his mouth and eyes, and his black fine hair is loose and long, both a stark contrast to his colorful, multilayered kimono. He holds two fans, giving a broad bow and speaking loudly and dramatically, showing far more emotion than most samurai would dare in such a place-*
Noble samurai of Rokugan! The moon shines bright upon our gather, so I say drink, partake of those luxuries as are presented by the honorable Bayushi Matashi-san. Our champion is off on the war front, as are many of our clansmen and women.
None the less! *-he accentuates this by snapping both his fans open and doing a small dance, stopping and twisting his neck, fans fluttering a moment-*[/b] Even if war is upon us, and issues of greater import are being discussed all over, there are still stories to be told! There is no story too risque, no part too horrible! *-as he says this he twirls, pulling masks out from hidden pockets in his multilayered kimono, switching from his plain black one to a demons mask, a sad faced mask, a geisha's face, and many more. Musicians play a faster tempo as he dances around, stopping with a clap as he does-*[/b] The tale of Toku perhaps? The second Day of Thunder? Or perhaps more scandalous affairs, such as the fall of a hero to the taint, or the affairs of a court revealed?
Ask, and I shall perform for you! *-he gives a flourished bow, fans folded over his shoulders-*[/b]
