"Oh, I'm from Isatawa Prime. So, one drink then? I'm just doing 1 or 2 drinks, myself."

"I haven't visited many Crane worlds. I will keep in mind that." She nodded. "Yes, just the one... perhaps some snacks, Crane sama?"

"Alright, probably good to eat something while drinking. What would you like to have?" He starts looking at appetizers.

She looked at menu. "Anooo... rice balls will just do." She looked at the Crane. "I am Moshi Atena... from Starnest."

He looks at Atena. "Well, it's nice to officially meet you, Moshi Atena-san."

"So, 2 peach wines and 2 rice balls then?" He looks back and forth between Atena and the server.

"Sound good." She nodded. "So how are you finding you stay here in Asakaze, Crane sama?"

"Well, it started out rocky. But, I'm trying to go with the flow now. Two of me roommates seem nice enough. Jury is out on the witch hunter though. How about you're?" He's listen to music a bit.

"My roommates are really nice. I have met a few people. You are the first one of the Crane I talked to. I haven't seen any Scorpion yet or Dragon."

"I like the plan." Ruhe's eyes were quickly swallowing the notation. "And tapping into folk is what I feel good about. But let me make one modification." He leaned over to speak quietly. "After all is done, let's skip three beats and I'll add a 5/8 to 21/32 jam outro, say 'Raid of the Rice Thieves'. I'll play as raiders, you as the huskers. This way we can lull them a bit and then drop to knees with a disquieting shocker of farmers being ripped of the fruits of their labour. You know, the Crab love them some angst."

She grins at his suggestion, clearly pleased with the idea, but a bit unsure about the ending. "Do we end the story with the raid though and that's that? Anyone to save the farmers? Or... Just them 'standing up eight times' and keeping strong despite the hit, maybe? A strong return to the first theme, or getting slowly back to it in a steady rhythm may do the trick of not letting them forest killers keep the upper hand at the end. What do you say?"

She clicks to save a copy of the file and starts noting down the changes, committing them to memory as she does. As she waits for his answer, she gets the Shamisen, fastens the strap to her shoulder, gets the computer up for some effects if needed, and leaves the guitar on a support near them, ready to start when the Moto answers.

OOC
So do we do one roll each or something? Might do two for Singing and Instrument if needed too.

"One of my roommate is a Mantis. His's a good man. Spent a lot of time with him the second day I was here." He looks back at Atena.

"Ah... Tsuruchi san. He has better chances than I in this miai." She shrugged. "I guess it is okay."

He smiling and says, "You never know what will happen with a miai. Or so one of my cousins said to me the first day here." He looks at Atena. "I'm sure you will find someone you will enjoy."

"Of course, who knows what the fortunes have planned for people." She smiled. "May I know your name Crane sama?"

He knows he told her his name already, but he gives it to her again and a polite smile. "I am Daidoji Kamui, Moshi-san. It it nice to meet an ally to my clan."

"You know, I'll leave it up to you to have mercy on the farmers or not, depending on how you'll feel at the end!" Ruhe was all-plugged, bow in hand, so he started adding to the background.

LE4. Performance: Fiddle for the night. VP because why not. 3R.: 9d10o10k6+4 58

[The audience experiences thrice-raised performance!]

"Ah... right... An honor." It is probably that the fried brain of the Moshi lacks focus that had forgotten the name. "Hai... have you visited any of the Mantis worlds, Daidoji sama?"

"I have had a few missions to protect precious cargo to Mantis worlds. But, I didn't go outside the military bases most of the time. Oh, well I'm a soldier in the army. I have been doing guard duty for caravans and precious cargo for a little over a year now. I miss driving..." He grins and asks, "So tell what you do?"

"Anooo... I have been working with communications. I have been training with the Komori. I miss the warm weather of Dawn or the beaches of New Kalani."

Strolling into the bar was Yasuki Nakaba. Ordering himself a bottle of beer, he easily finds himself a stool and waits for the show to start with mild excitement.
