Writing up an update now.

Also, I may live to regret this, but how interested would people be in playing a L5R game with me GMing? I have an idea for an adventure set during Iuchiban's Rain Of Blood just burning a hole in my pocket....


So, this game that I mentioned a week ago is beginning today. For anyone interested in following it, the IC link is here and the OC link is here.
 
Maybe something harmless yet something that we can use to our advantage like Theater? No versus Kabuki for example
[X]Talk about acting everyone has a favorite be it a play or a artist and it is safe enough while we could use it as a inroad.

Thanks, I'll get to that. Also, can I please have some votes on what to talk about at dinner?

Well, I have ideas, but none of them are what I'd call good ones...

-Talk about boats with Mantis-dono (and shut out the Kitsu daimyo, not a good plan considering that Bayushi strongly hinted we'd do well to chat her up)

-Broach the topic of ancestors with the Kitsu: awkward, because we don't know who our ancestors are, and Mantis-dono is descendant of Gusai.

Hmmm.

I wonder if "Get the Kitsu and the Mantis to talking about any bandit/pirate extermination campaigns they've been part of" would be a good neutral topic?

The Mantis hate (non Mantis) pirates and kill them all the time, the Kitsu are a family of combat mages, we just came off a battle against bandits ourselves, everyone can talk about it and it's non offensive because we all agree "Bandits and pirates = bad, Truth, Justice and the American Rokugani Way = good."

After the Second Day Of Thunder, the Mantis hate pirates. Before the Second Day Of Thunder, the Mantis mostly are pirates. Talking about pirate extermination campaigns would definitely be a cheeky move at this point in time.
