[ From the looks of it, she has been standing there for some time.

Ribbons of smoke form a sort of cage about the tall woman standing silent in the lobby, her long black hair like a curtain nearly concealing the phoenix decorating her loosely fastened uchikake kimono. A pale shoulder is left bare where one sleeve slipped down her arm but that isn't what concerns Yuuko now. The future is gone, she can no longer see or sense it. She never agreed to this.

This book on the other hand, she would tear out the pages if she thought it would harm her host (it would not). So with the journal open in one hand, she shakes her tobacco-stuffed opium pipe at the room, the castle, the empty air. ]

That's rude! Those who trick their clients will be made to close shop!

( action on the castle grounds. )

During this time of year, my people hold a festival celebrating the close of our harvest season. I suppose that does not matter much here, where people rely on the god of this place to provide them with food, but it is important nonetheless. I do not know much about anyone else's culture here... is there something you usually celebrate around this time?

Also: I did not ask your name, but if you are the young woman who showed interest in a war club, I have been working on a second since my return from Fairfield and I am nearly done with it.

[There's a pause, and his already polite tone drops to something even gentler.]

I am also sorry to anyone who has felt loss these past weeks, either by the hand of the god of this place or otherwise. I do not know how you grieve, but I hope it mends your hearts.

[ Lee's voice starts lightly. It sounds as if he's on the move. ] Carley, I was wondering if -- [ - and then he is abruptly cut off by the sound of metal clanging and the distinct noise of a person hitting the floor. ] -- oof, goddammit- how long do these losses usually last?

[ Ughhh he hadn't meant to clue anyone into the fact that the castle had gotten to him. :') Anyone near the kitchen, though, will find him clumsily climbing back to his feet as he speaks into the journal, though: ]

7th Case [dictated]

[not_nikkiheat]

I know we've all had a rough time of it lately, and I was hoping to get something planned to bring everyone together, where we can be support each other and maybe lighten the mood a little?

I don't mind planning it, but I wanted to get some ideas from you. Is there any event in particular you'd like to see?
