I do hope all those who received otoshidama enjoyed them. I had the mochi specially made. With the New Years festivities coming to a close, it is a wonder what to do.

Who would be interested in tea or perhaps a friendly game of shogi?

[shiromadoushi]

I wouldn't mind playing if it's just a friendly game.

[text :D]

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed, a friendly match or two. I am in Coral Corral 3, if you wish to join me.

[shiromadoushi]

Is right now OK?

[Text]

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed it is. I shall have some tea ready for your arrival.

[Text -> Action]

[shiromadoushi]

Thank you. I'll be over soon.

[[And about 10 minutes later there's an almost timid knock at the door. Bakura's a little paranoid and looking over his shoulder, not sure if the Ring saw him leave, but hoping that he wasn't followed... It was just a game, it should be safe, right...?]]

[ Kenshin opens the door, wearing his samurai regalia. Such an androgynous samurai he is. Anyway, he's smiling and pleasant. ]

Please, do come in.

[Action from here onward!]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Bakura bows his head politely with a very soft 'Sorry for intruding' before stepping inside]] Thank you for inviting me.

[Considering all his recent time spent indulging in it...]

What type of tea do you prefer?

[Action!]

[echigo_wargod]

My pleasure [ he smiles again. ] A pleasure to find another familiar with shogi. Few here seem to know of it.

[private/voice]

[echigo_wargod]

Any type of green tea.

[Action!]

[shiromadoushi]

Really? Aaa, that's a shame! It's a really good game! Though I'm afraid I'm not the best at it, I haven't had too much practice except against the computer [[said so apologetically]] I hope I won't disappoint.

[Action!]

[echigo_wargod]

Indeed it is.

What is a computer? I have not heard of such an opponent.

[Action!]

[shiromadoushi]

Eh? Aaa-- it's a machine that you can use to run games and things like that on!

[private/voice]

[aim_exorable]

I don't believe I've had the pleasure of sampling such. Do you prefer making it yourself or have a place which serves it and that you favor?

[Action!]

[echigo_wargod]

A machine for games? What an interesting creation this must be.

[private/voice]

[echigo_wargod]

I do brew my own, though there is a shop within the plaza which serves excellent green tea.

[private/voice]

[aim_exorable]

I will trust your judgment when it comes to a preference, then.

[Action!]

[shiromadoushi]

It's not just for games, but that's what I use it for the most. [[nods slightly]]

[private/voice]

[echigo_wargod]

I certainly could recommend some types, if you wish.

[Action!]

[echigo_wargod]

How unusual. What else can it do?

[Action!]

[shiromadoushi]

All sorts of things! They're being used for almost everything now.

[Action!]

[echigo_wargod]

Impressive! This computer sounds like a very helpful retainer.

[Action!]

[shiromadoushi]

Retainer? [[blinks curiously at that]] Like a servant, you mean?

[Action!]

[echigo_wargod]

Not at all. My retainers are my most trusted samurai and one ninja and lead my troops.

[Action!]

[shiromadoushi]

Eh? [[blinks, eyes wide]] Aa--- sorry! I didn't realize you were that high ranking of a person! [[suddenly very apologetic and switching to more formal language]]
