Miumi glances up from her tablet. "I should hope so. I would hate to have to rearrange the schedule again. Much too great a hassle, especially since you both are reasonably reasonable individuals."
She looks back down again, a thoughtful expression on her face.

((OOC: Now I know a little more of the background connection between Tamiyo and Hajime here, I am mentally laughing....this is EXACTLY the kind of mess that Ando would stick his nose into. Multiple stories, secrets and rumors, across multiple clans, and shame and regret by both sides... what fun. Maybe I can make them fall in love. *Wise but Mischievous Monk smile*))
Ando had been sitting in silence, drinking his tea and watching the show play out, his On flawless. As soon as it became clear that no one was going to draw steel today, he nodded, "I would suggest once you leave this room you bury the hatchet, quickly and privately. Avoiding attention is impossible, and thats acceptable, but if you are on the verge of dueling, someone is going to ask why you are all working together.
And that may shut doors we want to keep open. There is no Dragon among you for a reason after all." He sips his tea and puts it down, "Besides I am sure Iuchi-san's comment was likely mission related, perhaps another idea of where you should look." Looking over the group, he rubs his chin for a moment before he nods, and hands Yozhiko a datastick, "The information on this stick should get you through to me and only me, Asahina-san. Should anyone else answer, either the channel is compromised....or I am no longer here to answer." Again his look of age returns and he said, "Should that happen, and I must consider it possibility given the forces we face, I will trust you see the information you find to to the rest of the Empire."
"The Empire need to know the truth, no matter what that is and what it means. Only then can it truly prepare for what is to come. For the Day of Thunder never comes peacefully. The First War, the Clan War, the War of Fourteen Thunders. Each almost consumed the Empire. This time will likely be no different."

[OOC: Wiiiieeee!!! I am the keeper of the Stick now!!!]
The Asahina bowed as she accepted the stick.
"Thank you, Togashi-sama. I know that contrary to appearance, all present will not falter where it matters and I wish that in the end we gather again here for another tea ceremony, before committing seppuku."

Kailen acts as if the Ikoma had not spoken in the meanwhile. She listens to the monk's words carefuly and nods in agreement with Yozhiko's line of thought. If they succeed, they can only anticipate a samurai's death.
"We will burry the hatchet. Or the ones yielding it, if it comes to that." She announces. It is not a threat of some sort. Just the truth the way she sees it. Hajime is of the right mind. They are here for a mission. Nothing more, nothing less.

(OOC: My bad, emeralddragon! I was sure I had sent you the details of her disadvantages! If you want I can write it down on the private forum!)
Hajime rolls her eyes as Tamiyo puts an act again and glances at the others, curious whether they are falling for her bullshit! When the monk speaks she nods at him. "Like I said, I'm here only and exclusively for the mission, but that does not mean I will take any accusations and not defend myself." she says and leaves it at that, nodding in agreement to Kailen as her mood is ruined by this sour meeting!

((OOC: Nope. I thought you ACTUALLY had molested Ikoma Tamiyo. Your background kept the events vague. Post the details in the private forums when you can.))
Finishing his tea, and his cheer seeming to flow back into his face, Ando said, "Well then, now that everyone has made their stances clear, you have one starting point. Now all thats left to do is for you to decide where to go first. The greatest Journey begins with a single step."
He adjusts his posture, and pulls a touch pad out from under the table, clearly designed to issue travel documents should their first destination require it.

Tamiyo raises her hand.
"I suggest Hantei Prime! The Prophecies are there, no? I believe arming ourselves with the knowledge necessary to tackle this mission is our first priority!"
She is pointedly ignoring Hajime for now.

The Iuchi dips her head respectfully to the monk. "I can consult with the kami to try to find the best course of action." she says, totes ignoring Tamiyo back!

Yozhiko thought about it a little.
"I guess me and Hajime-san will need to hit the books before I can make that decision. Can we answer tomorrow Togahi-sama? While we are at it I hope that my companions on this mission will be willing to provide me their astrological charts. I dabble with divination and it might also help in setting our course."
She smirks a little.
"I assume we can have access to a database of the contents of the libraries of the Dragon clan. I understand if physical access is restricted but I hope that we can at least ask for permission to access to knowledge. Ikoma-san may I inquire on your level of access to the Ikoma Libraries, archives or whatever you call your databanks?"

"Whatever the choice is, I can schedule with it. Please, Togashi-dono, allow me to handle the details of documents as such. It is after all my primary merit."
Miumi finally looks up, paying attention again, looking about with a raised brow. "That, and I assume I'm the only one who fidns such intricacies exciting."

((OOC: I apologize in advanced, for I have been saying Hantei Prime, when I meant Hantei's Garden. I knew something sounded off.))
"A large archive has been set aside for such research. Its not complete copy of the Dragon's Library, as certain documents are not uploaded and only exist in physical form, for protection reasons, but it is one of the most complete archives of the Dragon's Database and libraries the has ever given access to someone who was not Dragon or of the Iweko dynasty. The IP address and the codes for access to this will be sent to Heiwa-san with your travel papers."
The Monk began to type, "And I shall contact the Sparrow Daimyo to make arrangements for your trip to the surface of Hantei's Garden as soon as this meeting ends. The Sparrow Daimyo is still very concerned about the fate of the world and who scarred it, but the permission he obtained to land on the planet's surface is still ongoing so your investigation need only convince him."
Interrupting the typing, for a moment, Ando added, "And of course, I am sure we would all appreciate the wisdom that the kami and Tengoku can provide, Iuchi-san and Asahina-san."

"Well than! I believe that means we are ready? I will have Miumi-chan inquire about access to the Ikoma Archives, Asahina-san! I'm sure she can arrange something."
Tamiyo looks around (somehow missing Hajime). "Any last questions?"

The Monk stands up and bows, "Thank you Minna-san. I have great faith in you all. It is said that Fortune favors the Mortal Man, and in that I trust that fortune will favour as if we truly follow the path laid down before us. If you will forgive me, I must send a letter to the Sparrow Daimyo." Miumi receives an email, containing the promised information and then the Dragon takes a step as if to leave...before seeming to disappear. ((OOC: When you have finished your activities on Fortune's Blessing and in transit between the systems please go here.))
