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. ))]

[cards played on this family go here]

[there is a knock on your door, Borja. On the other side is Smoke (and probably Spark, too), both sopping wet. In his arms, Smoke is carry a bulky, make-shift bag.]

I hope this isn't a bad time.

[bad_in_latin]

Bad time? For us? Never.

[justdeserted]

SO hospitable. Mind if we come in? I'll try not to drip too much.

[bad_in_latin]

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

[justdeserted]

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

[bad_in_latin]

Y'never know.

So! What's the occasion.

[justdeserted]

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

[bad_in_latin]

Whatcha offerin'?

[justdeserted]

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.

[bad_in_latin]

[ .... low whistle ]

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

[justdeserted]

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

You're the first one I've seen.

[bad_in_latin]

This ain't a special request from her?

[justdeserted]

Nope.

[bad_in_latin]

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

[justdeserted]

What you guys specialize in. How to please Mother.

[bad_in_latin]

An' how much we talkin'?

[justdeserted]

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

[bad_in_latin]

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.

[justdeserted]

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.

[bad_in_latin]

[ 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.

[supraliminally]

[astra looks like she is just having the best fucking day of her life]

For you to come over? No such thing.

[justdeserted]

Thanks. It almost sounds like I didn't need to bother bringing a present.

[supraliminally]

Only almost, though, to be sure.

[justdeserted]

Then it's a good thing I did.

[VOILA]
