(D5, MM) Love in the Trenches (Event Observation)

[Shosuro Hikimasu]

After a bit, especially watching a few other matches, Hikimasu seemed to feel better. Enough that he noticed Emiko, but saw she was talking to someone else again.

No matter, he had plenty to do anyway.

As soon as he figured out what that was...

The other Kitsu? The Kaito? Intereupt Nesshin and make him think he's being followed still?

He had to admit the Moto he was speaking to was interesting.

He'd wait and continue relaxing, maybe he could have a chat with Raizo when his games finished.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

Casually, Moshumaru took a seat as his game ended. For the time being, he watched the others play, if only to seem polite.

((Quote if approached))

She looked at the Kitsu and moved to say hi. "I hope Inari has blessed you today, Lion sama."

[Usogawa Narumi]

If only she hadn't gotten cocky at the end... Oh well! The Otter was in perhaps surprisingly good spirits.

Narumi stepped off to the observation area and her expression was an inviting one.


(quote if approaching pls!)

[Kitsu Moshumaru]

She looked at the Kitsu and moved to say hi. "I hope Inari has blessed you today, Lion sama."

Shaking off his funk, he smiled and welcomed the Shrine Maiden. "Kaito-san! It's been a while since we last spoke - have you been well?"

Narumi stepped off to the observation area and her expression was an inviting one.


(quote if approaching pls!)

Oh maybe I could...

But she seemed in a good mood. Don't need someone in worse straights to cheer you up when you're like that. He kept his distance for then and continued watching the game he had been invested in.

[Kaito Oubaihime]

Shaking off his funk, he smiled and welcomed the Shrine Maiden. "Kaito-san! It's been a while since we last spoke - have you been well?"

"Hai... You played a good game." The Kaito nodded. "it has been a while since, you are correct."

[Kitsu Moshumaru]

"Hai... You played a good game." The Kaito nodded. "it has been a while since, you are correct."

The Kitsu took the compliment with humility.

"Thank you, but I must admit I have no love for the game. I more tried to escape the game than play it."

Was... was something different about Oubahime? Her hair, maybe? Her clothes? He followed his instinct and hoped he was riht.

"It's nice to see you smiling - it is a lovely smile."

[Shiba Raizo]

Things are... difficult.

More difficult when you don't know what the FUCK is going on.

[Usogawa Narumi]

He may've decided otherwise, but she spotted him and sauntered over.
"Shosuro-san," she greeted him like yesterday never happened.
"Imagine how much more exciting Go would be if you had a partner? Two minds, working in union, standing their ground and working their advantages against their opponent- showcasing how much stronger they are together rather than standing on their own?"

[Usogawa Emiko]

"Ah, well I saw you ordered something from him when I was coming to greet you, so I told the servant I'd take care of it, that it would be an honor to serve your tea."

Looking to the players.

"That tactic gets me every time. You would think I'd figure it out by virtue of seeing it so frequently from the wrong side. Fool me twice..."

"Oh, well thank you Kitsu-sama" Emiko bowed to the man "let me pour you some tea also."

She poured some tea, continuing to talk while she did so.

"It's quite a difficult one to easily spot Kitsu-sama. Being able to feign aggression to either force a defensive position where defense wasn't needed or lead them to counterattack where they didn't need to is one of my fathers favourite strategies. He beat me in twenty straight games like that until I understood what he was doing and didn't fall for it."
