Definitely. She was stationed near there for a bit and made herself at home with the rest of the Hida.Matsu Ishioka wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 12:42 am

May well have seen you around while visiting the consort-cousins a year ago then.Matsu Ishioka wrote: ↑Mon Jul 26, 2021 12:42 amAny time in the vicinity of Kyuden Hida?

But yes, Ishioka is probably relatively well known around Kyuden Hida. I imagine Crab finding the Stone Matsu quite fascinating.

Re: Pre-game connection establishing thread
Dunno, what *do* you call the kids of the sibling of one of your moms' consorts (who's definitely your bio-parent)? consort-cousins seemed about right. Could just go with cousins, but because they're not related via the official marriage, they're not official cousins.

I'll keep the probable intersection in mind then.

Re: Pre-game connection establishing thread
That is a tricky thing. And with the context, yeah, consort-cousins does seem fairly apt. I mean, this also gets into the Rokugani tendency to call anyone in their clan a cousin, which is kinda crazy. Given that you could probably get away with calling them cousins in informal settings but not where the strict people are. Also probably depends on how strict your mom is about the language here. That could definitely vary with personalities and the specifics of their circumstance.
Just remember, if you come to test how stony the Stone Matsu really is, it's good form to buy him a drink when he's off shift. To help maintain his very positive relationship with the Crab Clan.

Yes. Yasu's father (consort) is Hida. So there's cousins there. Kyuden Hida specifically is under discussion

Re: Pre-game connection establishing thread
Not from the Kyuden proper, but likely trained there because you’d think they would have the Battle Leader school there.

You could have yelled at some Crab being unnecessarily antagonistic to the Stone Matsu at the embassy. Honorable Crab leader that you are.
