Re-reading the rules of the Suzume Storyteller technique and wondering something here:

"Rank 1 Ability: Speak tradition, speak peace - You may roll Performance anytime you would use the meditation skill, provided your character tells a story. Once per session, you may have a number of allies equal to half your school rank(rounded up) benefit from your roll, gaining the benefit of success but not any opportunities or strife"

For the first part of the technique ("You may roll Performance anytime you would use the meditation skill, provided your character tells a story"), am I right to assume that the Suzume could roll Performance instead of Meditation for Initiative in a duel... provided he tells a story at the start of the duel? :D

"From the Southeast!" the child answered somewhat oddly. "Have you ever been to the islands? So pretty in the rain. And the Thunder! So loud!"

Would Senseki have any idea what 'from the Southeast' of where they are would be? Would this need a Culture roll or something like that?

Thanks!
