Yozhiko had texted all involved in this mission (except the Dragon Champion of course, meddler he might be, but who needs old people?) about the "improptu" gathering on Artisan's Den as soon as they finished the meeting. She had even texted their Silkworm to join.
She had made preparations for something like that before ever leaving the spaceship, so when they returned to the ship she gave the appropriate commands through her datapad and the set up came into effect. The way to the drinking room got illuminated. The doors that should close did so and stuff. Happy that everything was in place she made a brief stop to her quarters to change into a less traditional, more casual outfit. She showed some more skin, Biru-kun after all seemed to want a child and it wasn't like they had lots of time for that.
Eventually she got to the drinking room and choose from the vast sake collection of their bar a bottle of Maneki Neko Sake and poured for both herself and Biru a cup. She hoped he was not distracted again.
Music wise she choose something ambient but not too industrial for start and chilled on the cushions. With another command she adjusted the light and the room temperature. Finally she picked up her pipe and prepared it. She choose one of dad's special blends that helped sooth the fire kami, since the meeting proved more as troublesome as she had expected. She lit it up and sipped from the pipe as she silently thanked her dad for being a herbalist.

Truth be told, Hajime was in no mood to party at all, but then again she really could use a drink and relieve the stress so it doesn't get in the way the real thing starts. Besides, Yohz was really awesome setting up all that and not going would be disrespectful!
For whatever reason, she seems to be the first to arrive. "Hey Yozh-chan, how are you doing?" she asks casually, and smirks as she notices her friend's more revealing clothes than usual. "Hmmm, somebody has plans for tonight~." she says teasingly and goes pour a drink for herself!

Biru wanders past the door his camera drone in front of his face obvioulsy recording, "And as you can hear nothing makes a samurai that travels amongst the stars more relaxed than some socializing. Its important to make social connections even amongst rival clans as history shows enemies sometimes are often your allies later. This is Biru the Science Samurai with a short hello to all my friends out there. I'll see you all soon and remember, Science and the kami are your allies treat them both with respect."
He smiles as the light goes off and the drone reattaches. He blinks in the lower light of the hall and turns to enter the room and bows, "Iuchi-san, Yozhiko-chan ." Then he blinks at Yozh his mouth moving as talking. Then shakes his head, "Ara. Iuchi-san welcome aboard the Artisan's den!"

Kailen arrives at the Artisan's Den and follows the lit path. She is dressed in a more casual and girly outfit. Her steps, as airy as always, lead her to the appropriate room. She approaches, with her usual confidence and bows to their hosts and then Hajime. "Good evening, Asahina sama. Asahina san. Hajime chan. Blessings upon everyone." She turns to Yozhiko and smiles a broad smile, one sweet enough to shed more light in the whole room. "Thank you for the invitation, Asahina sama. It is nice to have a chance to meet everyone in a more relaxed environment." She looks around her for a moment. "You have a very nice ship and the preparations look wonderful."

Even though she has a room on the ship, Tamiyo is certainly not among the first to arrive. After all, a girl has to prepare properly for a party. Can't be too extravagant, it's a rather casual affair in a small circle and there won't be any camera's. Nothing too conservative, she has a reputation as a trensetter to uphold and she's among forward-thinking people. Hmm, a more Merenae-styled dress seems appropriate! With those cutesy boots. It's deliciously nontraditional and all the rage among the Mantis and Unicorn youth! Unicorn... Hajime. She can almost hear Arasou lecturing her on the importance of follow-through, cleaning up properly and leaving no loose ends. When you think you've won, that's when you're most vulnerable, and it can turn a clear victory into defeat later on. But no, she thought Hajime could be left alive, that she wouldn't become a complication, but here she is, complicating matters and refusing to properly play along. With a sigh she pushes those thoughts away, smiling brightly at herself in the mirror. There, she feels better already. Really. Can't you see she looks happy? "Ohayo, mina-san!" With a wave and a smile Tamiyo makes an appearance. "How is everyone? Ready to have some fun before embarking on our epic quest?" She makes her way to the saké...

"Hmmm, somebody has plans for tonight~." she says teasingly and goes pour a drink for herself! Yozhiko exhaled a rather large cloud of something that looked like smoke. Oh my kami, Dad did it again. This one is awesome. I must remember to clone this one."Hajime-chan! It's been a while. I am cool, you?" Checking her outfit she gave her friend she gave wicked smile. "You know me, I always have plans. Come you should sample this one." She said to her friend as she offered her the pipe. He smiles as the light goes off and the drone reattaches. He blinks in the lower light of the hall and turns to enter the room and bows, "Iuchi-san, Yozhiko-chan ." Then he blinks at Yozh his mouth moving as talking. Then shakes his head, "Ara. Iuchi-san welcome aboard the Artisan's den!" As her husband got in she stood up and approached him, to give him his cup. She bowed to him. "I hope that you had a good view." She whispered to him. "Come on, Biru-kun, Hajime-chan is not stranger. She is my best friend since we were kids." Kailen arrives at the Artisan's Den and follows the lit path. She is dressed in a more casual and girly outfit. Her steps, as airy as always, lead her to the appropriate room. She approaches, with her usual confidence and bows to their hosts and then Hajime.

"You have a very nice ship and the preparations look wonderful." Yozhiko bowed in return. "Thank you for your compliments, Shinjo-san. It is nice to finally meet you." She went to the bar and picked up another cup. "I've already opened a bottle of Maneki Neko Sake. In case you prefer some other blend, I can open another." "Ohayo, mina-san!" With a wave and a smile Tamiyo makes an appearance. "How is everyone? Ready to have some fun before embarking on our epic quest?" At the entering Ikoma celebrity she nodded back. "Welcome Ikoma-san. You look stunning as usual."

Biru smiles and shakes his head, "Ah I did?"
He blinks and smiles and bows to the two that came in while his brain rebooted, "It is the fool that would not agree that all of you are looking wonderful. As I just video logged its important that despite our differences we can relax amongst each other. Even if for one night. An amusing correlation is that the Thunders typically didn't get along either until their greatest trial was highlighted!"
He smiles his most photogenic smile and bows his head slightly, "Enjoy yourselves everyone."

Kailen checks the Ikoma for a short moment before returning her attention to Yozhiko. Not bad at all. She bows to her. "It is nice to see you again, Ikoma san." She greets her.
"Please call me by my chosen name, Asahina sama. We will be spending quite some time together from now on." She reaches for the offered cup. "I am not much of a drinker. I will trust you with your choice." She smiles once again. "I have heard so much about you from Hajime chan that I that I feel as if knowing you already."
She then turns to Biru. "The same goes for you, Asahina san. Your show is one of the very few Rokugani shows I watched with great pleasure, even if I hardly were a child at the time it was on."

He smiles and sips at his cup, "Welll it wasn't my idea to market it as a kids show originally. But my sensei slash producer realized my original idea was dryer than the surface of a sun. So he plopped me down in a room of eight year olds and said to teach them about gravity and if they weren't cheering when he came back I'd repeat it till they did."
He sighs, "A week later I stopped teaching them and we had fun learning together." He sips again, "But I'm glad you enjoyed the final product. Its a shame it had to end but really between the recovery time from the final episode's accident and my sensei passing on I'd imagine the audience would noticed the difference."

Post by Heiwa Miumi on Jun 9, 2017 7:39:29 GMT 10
Miumi shows up as the last little samurai, quietly moving into the room with a brief bow, eyeing the rather audacious outfits on display. She herself is if anything more repressed. Though she has ditched the sheer haori over her white kimono, the skirt now ends below her knees rather than above, and her socks are so long as to not leave any leg showing.
She is wearing a different, slightly more shiny pair of pince-nez, but that hardly takes away from the fact that she looks at the same time overly serious yet quite comical in comparison. 'Casual' seems not to be a word in her vocabulary. "Yozhiko-san," she greets the host as she reaches them. "Your invitation was met with high amounts of gratitude."

Tamiyo drinks a cup a cup of saké in one go before pouring herself a second to savor. Something tells her she's going to need it... Kailen checks the Ikoma for a short moment before returning her attention to Yozhiko. Not bad at all. She bows to her. "It is nice to see you again, Ikoma san." She greets her. "Ah, likewise Shinjo-san. Please, call me Tamiyo!" Her bright smile lights up the room. "We should get comfortable working together, after all. Say, I actually know everybody present, or at the very least have general idea of their capabilities, but you. Can I assume you are a bushi and a pilot?" She certainly looks like the sporty type, a practical and casual more than girly outfit, two swords. Eh, certainly bushi.

Hajime bows at Biru when he speaks. "Thank you, Biru-san. It's always a pleasure to be here. It looks like Yozh-chan has been planning this for a while, hasn't she?" she says, turning to Yozhiko with a playful grin and furrows her brows at the pipe. "I'm not going to go into a coma like last time, right?" she says, not sure if she should really go for it, instead opening a can of beer and drinking it.
As Kailen speaks, she smiles brightly again. "Riiiight! You two never actually met before the meeting yesterday, have you? Well, let's make it official then. Yozh-chan, this is Shinjo Kailen, my partner in crime and fellow nerd, as well as de facto sister-in-law." she says in a playful and informal tone. The Iuchi was clearly going to continue but gives up on it as she glances to Biru. Whatever she was going to say, it probably wouldn't appropriate! "Kailen-chan, this is Asahina Yozhiko, my best friend and uh... well we've had some crazy trips together, she's got some pretty powerful mojo if you want to get high." she says, looking over to her pipe and back to the Asahina.
As Tamiyo arrives, Hajime pretty much becomes a different person, resembling Miumi! She becomes a lot more stiff and formal, looking nowhere as relaxed as a few moments ago, going completely silent. That doesn't stop her from staring at the Ikoma's legs and biting her lips for a few instants though!

Biru chuckles, "My heart seems to enjoy springing these little projects together. And it makes her happy to entertain." He smiles when Hajime's attention and he also bows to Miumi, "I'm glad you were able to find the time for us Heiwa-san."

Hajime bows at Biru when he speaks. "Thank you, Biru-san. It's always a pleasure to be here. It looks like Yozh-chan has been planning this for a while, hasn't she?" she says, turning to Yozhiko with a playful grin and furrows her brows at the pipe. "I'm not going to go into a coma like last time, right?" she says, not sure if she should really go for it, instead opening a can of beer and drinking it. Yozhiko smiled friendly. She was kinda worried about Hajime. "Don't blame me, you are the one with the weak constitution and since when do you skip invites to hangovers? "Please call me by my chosen name, Asahina sama. We will be spending quite some time together from now on." She reaches for the offered cup. "I am not much of a drinker. I will trust you with your choice." She smiles once again. "I have heard so much about you from Hajime chan that I that I feel as if knowing you already." She then turns to Biru. "The same goes for you, Asahina san. Your show is one of the very few Rokugani shows I watched with great pleasure, even if I hardly were a child at the time it was on." "Thank you Kailen-san, feel free to do the same. Personally I feel like already knowing you." He smiles and sips at his cup, "Welll it wasn't my idea to market it as a kids show originally. But my sensei slash producer realized my original idea was dryer than the surface of a sun. So he plopped me down in a room of eight year olds and said to teach them about gravity and if they weren't cheering when he came back I'd repeat it till they did."

Its a shame it had to end but really between the recovery time from the final episode's accident and my sensei passing on I'd imagine the audience would noticed the difference." "Not necessarily dear, we could always use vissual effects to make that impossible. The guys are friends and dig your show, you can chat with them about your ideas. Kailen is total expert on gaijin scifi and Haj is probably one of the few people I really like. Plus Unicorn, they see lots of weird stuff..." Miumi shows up as the last little samurai, quietly moving into the room with a brief bow, eyeing the rather audacious outfits on display. She herself is if anything more repressed. Though she has ditched the sheer haori over her white kimono, the skirt now ends below her knees rather than above, and her socks are so long as to not leave any leg showing. She is wearing a different, slightly more shiny pair of pince-nez, but that hardly takes away from the fact that she looks at the same time overly serious yet quite comical in comparison. 'Casual' seems not to be a word in her vocabulary. "Yozhiko-san," she greets the host as she reaches them. "Your invitation was met with high amounts of gratitude." Yozhiko smiles at the Dove and moves to the bar to prep the drink for the Shinjo. "Really? I did not know that you enjoyed parties that much, Heiwa-san. We are drinking sake." She took a sip from her pipe before laying it down so she could use both her hands. "Anyone in for shots? If anyone wants to smoke anything, let me know, I'll prep him a pipe." She proclaimed as she kept filling cups. Tamiyo drinks a cup a cup of saké in one go before pouring herself a second to savor. Something tells her she's going to need it... "Ikoma-san, I would love your commentary on your stay on Artisan's Den. Have you seen the gardens? Scratch that you have not passed that door. Do you want to see them?"

"Well, that's me." Kailen says with a smirk. "Bushi, pilot, expert in Thranish sci-fi," she turns to Hajime and playfully raises her eye brow, "and definitely no one's sister in law."
The Shinjo sips some sake. It tastes quite good. "The show was a good idea. Maybe you could expand to older audiences, as well, Asahina san. Scientifically explaining and clarifying various phenomena, common misconceptions and stuff can be fun if presented in the right way. But! As Yozhiko sama said, I'm just a fan of all these. I am sure that you know best yourself." She continues her conversation with Biru. "My engineering skills are limited into the maintenance and upgrading of my droid. I am more into computer science, truth be told."
Kailen greets Miumi when she arrives with another broad smile. It seems that there a lot of light emitting smiles in the room today. Upon noticing Hajime's reluctance to speak with the Ikoma present, she understands that she has to help. It is either talking to her in order make her feel better or the Ikoma so that she makes sure that Tamiyo doesn't bite her friend again. Since Yozhiko is also here and those two haven't seen each other for some time now, she picks the Lion.
"Tamiyo san it is then. You can also call me Kailen. We will have time to know each other better in the future. All of us. Are you here with a ship of your own?"
