The Day of Thunder

When you arrive, it seems like everyone in the village is in the headwoman's house, whether in the garden, on the porch, or in the hearth room.

The hearth room itself is set up with enough food, and enough variety of it, that it's a little bit shocking for such a small village. It mostly seems to be fish from the local stream, whatever can be caught, as well as some dried and salted meat. There's also a wide variety of vegetables and fruit that seem to be sourced from all over the empire, often dried or pickled, as might be expected at the end of winter. The cooked dishes are all fragrant with spices familiar and unfamiliar. Those who know Enrou's garden can guess that he likely sourced the seeds for them, or otherwise acquired them. A wide variety of grains are present, as well, rice, millet, and barley mostly.

[There will be four threads in this event to limit massive thread problems. They will be: The Garden, The Porch, and The Hearth Room. The roll, and your rolls for it, should be posted here. RP should happen in the threads.]

Once everyone has arrived, the headwoman spreads her arms.

"Thank you all for joining me. This evening is to celebrate you. We've had plenty this year thanks to all of your hard work and dedication. Your will made this festival a reality. You dreamt of the coming days, and they're finally here. I am grateful to all of you, and I hope that you all recognize the accomplishments and greatness in yourselves. This feast is an expression of love for one another, and for ourselves."

From a few different places nearby, you see a few people close their eyes and move their lips as she says that, as if speaking without a sound.

"As you know, if you need healing tomorrow, it will be tiring. Please rest well and fortify your energy."

[Earth Roll TN 30]

Akutou considers the words spoken, and something in him softens unhelpfully...

Kumori’s twin gave her all the earth powers from far far away.

D3 Event, Earth tn, 30 VP for +1k1 | 4k4 ⇒ 23 (TN: 30)

Shang had been happily eating and drinking at the gathering. She didn't have any reason to suspect anything was afoot. In fact, they were found to have fewer of these sorts of gatherings further along the week. In fact, they might not be able to celebrate ever again, depending on what will happen. It was better to be happy that it happened, so to speak.

Day 3 - Early Evening, Our Daily Bread: Stamina Roll! | 2k2 ⇒ 9 (TN: 30)

Yoshitsune Ayako drank deep of the wine, and sampled a wide variety of the delicious foods, seemingly oblivious to the horrifying evil that was preparing to devour their very souls.

So close

This place was too strange, and something about Chouri's speech set her on edge.

OOC: Bypassing Earth roll by not eating or drinking the food offered. +5 to social TNs with villagers.

If there was anything Ranmaru knew, it was to not trust a woman in a leadership role. That and she was like super weird.

Bypassing the Earth Roll by not partaking.

Otaku tries at least a polite "no-thank-you helping" of everything, but if there's anything odd in any of it, she remains fortunately unaffected.

Pass! D3 EE Event--first roll, Earth. Void. Reroll because I rolled one too many dice the first time! | 4k4 ⇒ 30 (TN: 30)

(Please ignore the earlier roll in the log where I derped and rolled 5k5 for some reason. )

Makime waved off the food. She wasn't here to make friends.

Forgoing the roll and refusing the food
