As others began to become more enraptured by the music, Goju was was umoved. This peasant music was average at best.

The odd smell caught the cheesemaker's nose. A smell that seemed to be out of place...

He was making his way to lady Chouri's side when the drums and the dance began.
Chouri takes his hand and gets up with a bright smile, pulling him into the dancing crowd to join together.

There was no energy surge for Han-Hei, just that damn earthy smell that she couldn’t identify.

She looked over to Norikage to check his reaction and see if he would offer any insight…

Akutou interrupts play to ask "Any o' y'all smell that? Like turned dirt an' cut grass or somesuch?"
"No." Kenji replies after taking a moment to test the air. Of course, he had been more than a little distracted by the fireworks as well as Ohta's attempt at the Daruma game. They the music hit and the lion started bobbing along to the beat, he wasn't dancing but it was obvious he was having a good time.

For his part, Norikage was grinning from ear to ear. "That smell is awful, ain't it?" He used a bit of his tribal accent for once. "Still don't feel like dancin' it out of my system, but I could use another skewer for sure." He chomped the last and let out a satisfied sigh.

No...no it wasn't the fireworks. It was...the stench. And then people started dancing.

The foul stench was alien to Ayako’s experience. It was no herb nor plant that she was familiar with. It was the scent of …. evil.

"NO! Don't dance!" the younger Crab cried out, over the sound of the music. "Something's wrong! We're under attack!"

Makime looked at the dancing Crane. "I don't compare children's games and war, girl. I suggest you consider what Lady Doji and Lord Nanzi would say if they saw you in such a state."

Her attention shifted to everyone else around her. "There is something very wrong about this. I don't know what but I'll find out. This is getting out of hand fast."

“Now you are getting it, dance… dance away the darkness, dance and feel the energy of creation pour through you Nao-chan! Everyone dance… move yourself… this is ecstasy!” she says aloud to all around.

To Makime she responded with her hips, which never lied.

“You go ahead and enjoy your meat…” She said in a distracted tone as she watched the Doji princess fully commit to the merrymaking.

...but the smell...

He will ask later, probably some kind of incense. Years of field and administrative work for an agricultural reform that ended up being akin to a fledgeling bulwark against famine had left him far more drained then he had realised.

She was beautiful, true enough, but it was the light in her eyes that was irresistible

''I am not the best of dancers, lady Chouri, you might want to watch your feet'' he said with an awkward yet joyful smile

Yukara once again gripped her bisento, but remained silent, the noise and chaos setting her on edge.

She would defend these sane ones beside her, so long as they remained so, if it was dangerous, if not... she would remain out of the way and avoid spoiling the party. Her instincts were in turmoil now, one part of her feeling danger, the other seeing no threat to address.

Watching the Doji with concern, Goju nods his head in agreement to the Lion daimyo.

Goju can't think of anything relating to Jigoku that this might be a part of, but it wasn't his area of speciality

Now this was a party worthy of a party girl, call her a stick in the mud… Ai could be completely fun and decided to find a barrel and sit and begin playing something completely experimental and off the wall but somehow it worked…

Somehow.

"All this runnin' around,
I can't fight it much longer,
Something's trying to get out,
And it's never been closer,
If my Destiny fails,
Make up some other story,
But if I never come back,
Then tell Father I'm sorry!"

Killer bridge as she started going hard on the shamisen.

"Baby, now I'm ready, moving on
Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Oh I'm ready for the moment and the sound
Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Baby, now I'm ready, moving on
Oh but maybe I was ready all along
Oh I'm ready for the moment and the sound
Oh but maybe I was ready all along..."

"There's something in the air," the Crab samurai insisted. "Something.... foul."

Ayako sounded a little shrill, even to herself. Was she... overreacting? No, it must be the others that are wrong!
