Carries his katana in an old, drab, battered saya. As of Day 13, wears a delicately carved bracelet of wooden beads polished smooth, laced through with red, yellow, and orange string and a small Phoenix token.
Standard gear: Ceremonial Clothes and a daisho. When in his element, ashigaru armor, a naginata, and a more relaxed form of terror are added into the mix.

A happy ending that benefitted from honorable actions intended to solve a potentially sinful situation. Yuzu appreciates the play.

PM if you would like to chat.
What is this hot garbage?

It wasn't that happy plays were bad, but they often missed the point of the difficulty. Hikimasu decided it should have been a comedy, and if the cast had over acted properly, the ridiculousness of Lion lands could have truly been appreciated.

Seeing a Seppun nearby, he greeted them.

"Good evening, Seppun-sama, I hope your day has treated you well", he bowed in his seat. "What did you enjoy most about the play if I may ask?"

"Ah! Good evening, Shosuro-san. I hope Inari-kami has been generous." He provides a bow, than lifts himself and moves near the Scorpion so they don't need to shout. After that, he rubs his chin and says, "I guess it is just light-hearted. It also depicts that honorable service is something one can trust to pursue, even on insurmountable odds. By odd, I mean really odd."

"Well, I don't believe the author intended for one to think of the play's specifics as any sort of guide, you should accept the light hearted feeling though", he replied. "Tales like that are meant to grant those who believe in the ideals satisfaction in their own view, which can be a good thing."

He nods, "Indeed. It is a good change of pace. Some other plays were quite... sad. Even if well done. A mood swing to the a positive side is always beneficial."

"And yet, I cannot help but be curious", he said, voice thoughtful. "What victory was there, truly? And what shame was cleansed?"

Yuzu rubs his chin and raises an eyebrow, "I guess Shosuro-san's previous words apply here. The play's specifics probably aren't a guide to think too much about, if not the honorable intent to make things right and better. However difficult... or weird... they might look like."

"Perhaps so, but I can't say I've enjoyed many of the plots for these plays. Especially the one about the miharu."

“There was one about a Miharu?” The boy tilts his head, “So that is the one I missed. How odd.”
