Jama frowned.

"We deem Muhaki Zazu sufficiently invested to make the decision, Gusai-san."

Ryoshida was not letting go.

"I see. But then, this abbot is not the shinpu of the Brotherhood. This cannot be decided unless Muhaki Zazu meets Shozan in the capital."

Suihime listened to the conversation with interest. Curious what her future husband was up to.

Bellena watched the thunderous and frenzied eruption silently. The foolish masses danced to the tune of a megalomaniac, something she shook her head at discouragingly. Then in a moment, the enemies of the Tortoise began to start their political performance...

Meikuko awakened from her contemplative poise.

"You are misinformed, Gusai-san. As long as Shozan-shinpu holds the position of the Imperial Adviser, the abbots of Yakushiji-Ishoji, Daikandaiji, Asukadera and Kawaradera have full authority in all organisational matters of the Brotherhood."

"I am surprised by the depth of your knowledge about the matters of the Brotherhood, Akodo-san." Ryoshida said in an unpleasant tone.

"Your ignorance over those matters doesn't make my words any less true, Gusai-san." Meikuko replied mostly calmly, but a slight shift in her position could indicate increased readiness to act to a keener eye.

"Suitengu knows my piety." Ryoshida replied with a stormy expression. He weighed saying more, but for now went silent.

Jama did not look too irritated, but cut the conversation short with a handwave.

"Muhaki-san, have you made the decision?"

Zazu bowed low before addressing Jama.

"Hantei-no-kimi, I have an idea I'd like to consult with you. You might be aware that the Tortoise Clan maintains outposts beyond Rokugan. How likely is it that in the course of the First Voyage the Explorers will make a landfall on one of them?"

Jama gestured for Yajinden to give an answer. The Crane tlitled his head and smiled charmingly.

"It is quite likely, Muhaki-sama."

Zazu hamster-pumped his cheeks and nodded several times, finally releasing held-up air before he would start turning red.

"Would it not be presumptuous to suggest then to erect the Temple at such a site, in order to expand the reach of the new kami to the lands beyond? It seems to me it would strengthen the heavenly mandate of the First Voyage. And it would no doubt please Sadahako-kami herself, to be revered at the frontier of her Clan's effort."

Jama straightened a little.

"It would be presumptuous to suggest that the First Voyage enjoys anything else than the full Heavenly Mandate." Steel rang in that retort. "I might consider it. As long as the Tortoise can muster people and resources in that land to deliver upon your choice, Muhaki-san."

Ryoshida would probably like to question this for the preposterousness of a central place of cult to be far-removed from Rokugan but any kind of argument against it could set a precedent for denying legitimacy to the temples in the Isles. Besides, was it a bad thing that this particular Fortune would have a place of worship well away from where most Rokugani could reach? His features eased slowly, and his gaze sharpened. He didn't want to let Zazu off the hook.

"I don't know how you're going to do that, Muhaki-san. The Explorers should not be preoccupied with endeavours that are your responsibility by Imperial mandate you've just acknowledged. In any other circumstance seeing you fail may have been acceptable for me, but on this your blunder would not be yours alone. Someisa daimyo has passed away, and that little..." Ryoshida had other adjectives in mind, but hey, Fortune. "...family has ever been, well, little. Is there even a single Someisa out there, or on the First Voyage?" The Mantis Champion smirked like a shark. "Did she have any children, Sadahako-kami, any heirs?"

Present for the proclamation, the Phoenix remained as distant from the discussions as was polite. His mood was sour in general thanks to this assignment, and did not improve the announcement.
More prestige for the Tortoise. Fantastic. There is absolutely nothing that can go wrong with this.

He kept his expression blank though, and merely watched the movement of the players from afar. The choice of captains meant little to him. He was sure that he had been assigned to one of them somehow.

"Unfortunately, she didn't." Zazu said on a solemn note. "But don't be facetious in this regard, Gusai-san. As long as there is no Someisa daimyo I am Someisa daimyo, and I won't rush anyone into the position for following in the wake of a Kami is no easy feat." His squinty gaze moved across the captains, briefly stopping at Zabieru, then pored through the crowd, then halted at Berena.

"Muhaki Berena-san, remind me, are you on the First Voyage?" He asked loudly.

[Perception/Investigation (Notice) vs. TN40 to catch Zazu on a lie.]

Rokuro was not impressed by the wrangling of those present, over what was, as far as he was concerned, a largely irrelevant gesture. A fortune of Geisha wasn't, in his eyes, that important a matter.

His gaze turned inward, so he didn't catch the lie from Muhaki Zazu.

Ran listened, interested.

Not even close. Investigation (Notice)/Percep TN 40: 6d10r1o10k2 17

Isamu clearly wasn't paying that much attention to the argument

[Not even close]
