WHO: YOUR FAMILY
WHERE: YOUR HQ
OPEN/CLOSED: CLOSED TO YOU GUYS
WHEN: DAY 6

[It's a new season! Outside you will find a dreary rain falling, the kind that is oddly in escapable but not enough to really bother with an umbrella. It sounds pleasant at least, but seems to oddly distort sound, you feel like it would be hard to catch someone sneaking up on you.

But a new season is good news, it's another chance to impress the mother (= And you will find the means to do so somewhere in a public area of your HQ.

You have:

5 cards with words on them!
1 unopenable jar with 15 colorful marbles in it labeled 'points'
1 sheet of paper with a bunch of fuckin rules on it

YOUR CARDS:
3 - Give away some of your resource
5 - You feel you must try out all the other methods of feeding, on other families
3* - Random
3 - Have an arm broken by another family
3* - Random

[Borja alone has another special little thing, a place piece of paper, a pen, and a note: "The priests may turn their eyes toward family a day, and know their movements".

((FOR ONE FAMILY A DAY, Borja gets to know what cards they play and on whom, and what cards are played on them and by whom. ))]

Depends. If'n you got post for us, I hafta warn you that I can't read.

Does this look like the kind of weather a bag of mail would survive through?

Y'never know.

So! What's the occasion.

Oh, you know. Season's greetings. I wanted to make a trade.

Whatcha offerin'?

Something you'll find useful, I hope. I'll admit, I had it in mind for Astra special...

[and as he says this, he carefully transfers to bundle to one of the other Ching Shih's and extracts a sword.

It's a beautiful silver sword, sharp and well-made. The silver hilt has a simple black grip, but the guard and pommel are inlaid with dark rubies and white and grey moonstones. He holds it out, not offering it to him yet, but letting him get a good look]

Since she'd make the best use of it and all.

[ .... low whistle ]

Well it surely ain't a thing I can use. She already talk t'you 'bout payment?

[he pulls it back, letting the flat rest against his shoulder]

You're the first one I've seen.

This ain't a special request from her?

Nope.

Huh. Well what were y'lookin' for in terms of payment?

What you guys specialize in. How to please Mother.

An' how much we talkin'?

It depends on how much you think being the only other guys in town with a sharp pointy thing is worth.

This a manner of exclusivity that's like t'stay? 'cause I can't take back no information if'n I see someone else get pointified later on.

I can guarantee I won't give out anything like this for another season. I'm not really crazy about the idea of handing out weapons to my enemies, but I've got to have some leverage to take care of my family.

[he pauses, letting him think that over.]

And we might be able to work out something if you want to know who gets pointified when, or have some say in it.

[ hhrrmm considering ]

S'a compromise m'willin' to consider. I don't 'spect you t'just not give out your resource t'folks. S'why I asked how y'were sellin' that exclusivity.

Exclusivity benefits me, too.

[he reaches into the bag, pulling out a dagger and casually tossing and catching it]

I was thinking of trading one of these to each team, just to be nice. Have you seen the cards mother left you?

... I surely did. Hence me askin' after post.

Well. Going my some of the cards we got, having a sharp knife will be handy.

Yeah? Got yourself an interestin' draw?

We can make that part of the trade, if you want. I'll tell you mine, you tell me yours, that way we can get a better idea of what we can expect.

... Seems a fair trade. Let's get some Governess t'make this all proper like.

Lead the way. There was one other thing I wanted to trade for.

Sure. C'mon in.

[ opens the door ]
