1st of the Month of the Hare, Year 31
Thunderheads roil overhead and the fog thickens today, the air eerily still. The villagers seem unsettled - this weather development seems unusual for this day. Multiple families gather in some of the sturdier houses, staying together as they wait for the storm to break as the pressure rises throughout the day.
The moon is full.
Today's element is air.
Events:
Purification of Soul - Headwoman's House, EA
The Choosing of the Thunders - Imperial Camp, EE
Combat - Family Matters - Village Houses, LE

"Did you hear how one of those samurai talked about Chouri-sama?!"
"'Demonfucking bitch'. Can you believe it?"
"Aren't samurai supposed to practice courtesy or something? Isn't that part of their code?"
"I guess we're not high enough status to deserve respect."
Rain in the Forecast
"Did you see those clouds overhead?"
"Kind of? It's foggier than usual."
"It's also darker than usual. Trust me. My knee's acting up. There's a storm coming."
"I'd argue, but it's never been wrong."
It's Almost Over!
"The Soul Purification is today... finally."
"It's been a rough one this year, huh?"

Re: Day 6
On the message pole, there are three notes as of EM D3:
Doji Hikaru has been chosen and given three quests to complete, to show his spirit, heart, and soul, to be worthy for marriage. He must show his completion of these tasks within four days.
First, he must hold the stars in the palm of his hand.
Second, he must show the strength of fire.
Third and lastly, he must create the most sublime sound.
Comrades,
In light of what transpired yesterday, I am setting to head into the surrounding forest for a scouting mission. I am looking for at least three willing people to accompany me to see if we might search and better prepare in the case of future attacks.
Hiruma Naraku
In light of recent events, coordination of defense efforts is key.
To that end, Jiyo Sora requests a meeting with the ranking member of each of the Clans present, as well as of the Brotherhood of Shinsei, or their duly designated representatives at their earliest convenience. Samurai without a Clan allegiance are welcome to present their input to the Imperial families at the time they see fit.
Before any such meeting, it should be noted that the Imperial Families propose that Lady Makime be placed in charge of all defensive efforts at the command level, and that Wu Zhe be designated as liaison to the village.
In an ungainly scrawl at the bottom-
You don't all have to show up at once if your schedules do not coincide.
At this very moment, Lady Doji fights against the corruption in the realm of dreams. Her strength keeps the Empire safe.
As you lay down to sleep, please, think of her, and say a prayer for her safety.
Defenders of the Empire,
The time is coming fast upon us, and while you are reminding yourself well of what it is that is most important, and the bonds and ties you share? You need to be ready for what may come. I invite you, if you are not busy putting together the damage that seems to be filling our lives in this small town, to join me in the Sleeping Garden tomorrow at Early Afternoon.
Come, prepared to be honest with yourselves.
-Nozomi
The hard green or white precious stone called jade helps protect one's spirit against the corruption of Jigoku in all its forms. All martial defenders of this camp should carry a piece of this stone on their bodies at all times.
If you do not own a piece of jade, seek out Otaku and one will be entrusted to you.
A meal to which the villagers will be invited to repay their hospitality is planned for tomorrow evening. A modest menu is the best that can be done under the circumstances, but any who have something to offer in the way of either culinary skill or entertainment are invited to assist.
Inquire with Jiyo Sora.
