The local writer, likewise, is in attendance, accompanied by his yojimbo. The frenzied writing that consumed him yesterday seems to have subsided, and he's in much better spirits now than he's been in quite some time.

Koga attends, as well, with a woman on each arm.

They laugh as they take their seats.

Akihiro is there early, eager to see the next offering by the local playwrights. He settles in and scans the crowd.

Hanaru slips into a seat, eager to see the Kabuki. The mask artistry was usually first rate in the city, and well worth the look.

Byamba enters in a golden kimono with purple horse patterns on it. He picks out a spot near Akihiro and waits for Yuna to arrive.

Re: D8EE, That Which Was Given to Us (Kabuki)
With the audience gathered, the lanterns are dimmed and the play begins!
That which was Given to Us (Kabuki)
Two fraternal twins, Bayushi Kojiro and Bayushi Basho are attending the Imperial Winter Court In Kyuden Bayushi for the first time. They notice from afar that the head of the Crane delegation, Doji Eichi strongly resembles their mother’s description of their departed father, right down to having the same birthmark. When confronted about this, the Bayushi Yae reveals that she lied about the death of their father who did not die fighting bandits on the return from the Winter Court many years ago. She had had…..a few affairs during that Winter Court, and did not wish to bring shame upon her family by admitting this.
The twins navigate the perils of the Imperial Winter Court to determine the identify of their father. Was it the head of the Crane delegation? Or perhaps it is a prominent member of the Lion clan. One by one, the boys make their way through the court, exercising as much discretion as they can to find their real father. Still, story after story, divination after divination brings them no closer to learning his identity.
In the end, their mother confesses that the whole of the lie is that they are not her children. They were actually conceived by her favorite servant. When she died in childbirth, Yae swore to raise the twins as her own, and the final curtain falls.

Now that... was a play.

A creature on consistency, Oharu was sure to make an appearance at this play to fill out her attendance record. The Kuni found a seat at the front and watched the production intently. It was amusing enough, lacking the dark twists and betrayal. She supposed the betrayal was perhaps placed on the minor characters, rather than the main characters. The characters were as clueless as the audience and maybe even sympathetic in their cause. It even had a real ending with a final reveal at the end!
Nine out of ten, would watch again.
Maybe this would hint a similar reveal tomorrow...?

Ki had arrived a little before the play started, finding her place as the performance rolled in. She was a fan of Kabuki, so this would hopefully prove to be a great piece!
As it made it to the end, Ki smiled softly, looking down at her hands and thinking for a few moments.
A wonderful piece, perfectly acted out. And yet, it continues along the theme of previous nights. The message the Scorpion wish to send out is fascinating.
She looked around to gauge the other reactions.
