Esteban Trujillo was slowly emerging from being unhappy. Rarely had he had a time to leave the Nail and go into town to recall olden days by a bit of fun. Alas, some tragedy at the House of Smiles made him leave the brothel quickly in the morning - Roxas was not fond of him and the establishment would see some militia coming. He spent the morning with friends at Shrine to Kasuga, and then wanted to head back to the lighthouse but concluded that a good meal at the Tangled Rope wouldn't hurt once in a while. With some pork and caskets of ale in his belly, he rolled out into th bustling streets again, not really noticing the oddities in its usual traffic.

Hantei Jama, accompanied by Shiba Suru and Doji Tsugiko, was descending on foot from the Floral Estates toward the fleet in Kasuga's Bay. Honouring deals with the governess was cumbersome as he would otherwise have had a bigger guard, but for now Suru had to suffice. The stench was a bigger offender than people, however. It didn't change the fact that in midday sun moving around without a palanquin felt obnoxious...

Trujillo wiped his oozing eyes. He couldn't believe what he was seeing! He rushed toward the entourage...

Likewise making their way from the Floral Estates Kaiya and Sakia were nearby. Coming from the meeting of Captains and First Mates they traveled as near as the Hantei desired, had he the care to have noticed them on their journey back to the other port.

Susumu walked in silence, observing the west port for a moment...He liked Little Aquahba better to be sure. He mused at the situation...the mighty Prince being forced to walk like everyone of them.
You are not in your element, are you?

Hinami was staying around the Hillside, so she had to walk if she wanted to go anywhere on this island. From afar she noticed that the Prince was travelling alongside Doji Tsugiko-sama and his yojimbo Shiba Suru.
Where is the Seppun Miharu? She wondered as this was highly unusual to let the prince travel with no guards except for his personal yojimbo.
She tried to get closer but keeping a respectful distance.

Ringo is making preparations for an exploration trip when he spots the various samurai about. He offers polite bows to everyone as appropriate.

Edogawa walked with Lopez and Nari towards the docks. With the meeting concluded, they were returning to Amaterasu's Grace, to travel to the Eastern port. Edogawa had his mind set on exploration today, however, and was considering investigating the northern waters instead. Regardless, he and his companions kept pace at a suitable distance behind the Prince.

[The event is now closed for new entrants until further notice.]
Esteban was... overjoyed. Clearly he wasn't mistaken, it was him! He rushed toward Jama waving both hands enthusiastically.
"Don Ricardo, Don Ricardo, it is me, Esteban! My captain, I am so happy! So many years, and you haven't aged a day!"
In a fraction of a second Shiba Suru moved ahead...

Hinami noticed that a drunk gaijin was getting too close to the prince, yelling at him some gibberish with his barbaric language. In just a fraction of a second her Seppun instincts reacted, she needed to protect the prince, no other option. ******************** [OOC-Rolls]

Suru drew his sword and in one fluid motion cleaved Esteban in half. The man died before he realised what had been coming, but the grotesque display of inexplicable violence against someone the Port had long known and respected dug deeply into the minds of surrounding crowd, especially as they witnessed Suru calmly flicking and wiping the blood off and returning to the side of the man he had sworn to protect from every threat at all costs. [Tension! -2.5] --- Event!Now, in order of initiative, each participating player can take one of the options below in two rounds of rolls. This limits the timeframe: you can do only as much as can be done per round (Free Action, Complex Action or 2 Simple Actions). Lengthy speeches are a no-go. Each roll has TN30 for each action when it's taken first, then it gets lower by 5 each time the action is repeated by anyone because of consistency of one strategy to address the problem (TN5 is the lowest, before any Raises are called). Lack of operational ability to speak Merenaese increases the TN of all verbal articulation-based actions by 5 for those who do it via intermediaries, and by 10 for those who cannot do it at all. A. Appease the Crowd. Awareness with, Courtier, Sincerity or Lore: Linguistics (Merenaese) or Lore: Values (Bushido) or Lore: Gaijin Cultures to provide explanation of what happened. Success yields +0.2 Tension! and +0.1 for each Raise, failure yields -0.1 Tension for each Called Raise.
B. Distract the Crowd. Awareness with a Perform Skill, or Reflexes with Commerce to befuddle the crowd - by doing something artistically unexpected or by tossing coin around (10 bu for each attempt, +5 per raise). Success yields +0.2 Tension! and +0.1 for each Raise, failure yields -0.1 Tension for each Called Raise. Each attempt of this strategy grants 0.5 Notoriety.
C. Intimidate the Crowd. Willpower with Courtier or Intimidation or Lore: Imperial Families or Lore: Law or Lord: Heraldry to impress on the population the supremacy of their true masters. Success yields -0.2 Tension! and -0.1 for each Raise, failure yields nothing.
D. Pacify the Crowd. Weapon Skill or Jiujutsu with appropriate Trait to just start following through with Suru's example with the nearest representative of angry mob who feels like threatening a Hantei scion. This counts as Combat Roll. Success yields -0.4 Tension! and -0.2 for each Raise, failure yields nothing. Outcome is open-ended, will be decided based on the final Tension! Score of the event. Each player decides individually. Coordination is okay, coercing into adopting one strategy and not the other is not.

" This is unfortunate, but he was clearly confused and seemed dangerous." Edogawa stepped forward, trying to explain. His words were not quite enough, however, and he looked to the other explorers, prepared to translate, if necessary. D6, EA, Appease, Courtier/Awareness TN 30, Foreign Heritage, VP +1k1: 8d10o10k4 29

With the main threat gracefully eliminated by Shiba Suru, Hinami's job now was to appease the gaijin that watched how skillful is Jama's yojimbo. She quickly went towards were the prince was, and began using her charms and words to appease. She used non-verbal forms of communication mainly, enhancing what she was trying to explain to the angry mob that was dangerously forming around the Imperial prince. Thanks to the Edogawa's previous attempt, the gaijin were a bit more receptive to Hinami's words and non-verbal forms of communications. It would seem that she was truly communicating with these gaijin even without knowing one bit of their savage language. ******************************* [OOC-Rolls]
