well good thing then that I'm giving u a break =]
Bayushi Nori glances at the letter of invite for his clan to the test of the emerald champion. He glances at this samurai and shakes his head, "The new emerald champion will not be a scorpion. We have other things that need to be done."
With that the invite bursts into flames.

Rumors are spreading that the Phoenix do not plan to send a representative to the Test of the Jade Champion, because they fear that they could be acussed of manipulation otherwise.

My attempt at breaking the silence.
Akira sits in a tent one evening during his journey to the Test of the Emerald Champion. His dog lies beside him, gazing intently at the door. Nobody is nearby, Akira has sent them all off to do a bunch of tasks.
"We've made it Festy, we're going to the Test of the Emerald champion," Akira says quietly to him, "Why did I ever let my little brother name you anyway?"
Festy shrugs his dog shoulders.
"And nobody's the wiser! No-one will ever have to know I'm not human! We can get away with this scot free!" Akira chirps cheerily, "We've come a long way, in fact, an incredible way to get here. You're the only person whose been the whole way with me."
Festy groans.
"Rrrop ralking roo re rarout rit," Festy says with his clumsy dog tongue, "Rerause ri ralreary row rit ran rou ron't rant ranyrone roo rear."
Akira looks embarassed.
"Yeah, I guess I shoulda known but I'm just really happy about this, heh," Akira adds.
"Rits rall rood" Festy returns with a dog's attempt at a smile.
"Now then, enough of this sitting around, lets get some practise in," says Akira as he rubs Festy behind the ears while standing up.
Festy nods silently and they leave the tent.

Outside the tent, out of view and out of mind, Geitana silently listens to the above conversation. During the amount of time she has followed her brother-in-law around she has gotten to know him a lot better than would normally be possible for her with relatives. She has begun to see what her sister saw in this gaijin that made him worth living with.
She smiles when the gaijin dog finally breaks its silence and speaks barely coherently to its master about eavesdroppers. Though it spoke to Akira very bluntly he didn't mind, they had apparently been friends for a long time.
Soon they left the tent and strolled off to practise their martial skills. Geitana followed. The thought came to her, What kind of weapon would a dog wield?
At that moment the dog blinked into another location some feet away where it rended the air with its fangs in an impressive manner.
Interesting animals they have outside the empire, she thought to herself as Akira applauded the animals efforts and gave it praise.
Akira's usage of the katana with blinding speed brought the same result from his animal companion, but in the form of barking and wagging of the creature's tail.
Geitana shook her head slowly and took a more comfortable position to observe them from.

"Good Akira"
A rather rugged man with crazed wild red hair steps out from behind a tree. He seems quite nice, but somewhat rough. His armor is painted green, and he wears a black cloak with a dragon crest on the back. He has a katana on his side.
"Did you bring your weapon with you tonight, young samurai?"

Uda Hiyone sits quietly reading the invite...
"Interesting, another test, and another to prove the strength of the Monkey, another chance to prove ourselves in the field of battle. We may not have the respect of the larger houses, but we have our uses..."
Uda Hiyone stood up, and admired his saya, before stepping out into his rock garden... he glanced over his shoulder at the Miya herald...
"I shall attend this Test, as Champion of the Monkey, Toku shall be made proud, yet."

The currently known competitors in the Test of the emerald champion are:
Togashi Samanosuke (Level 20 Character, Dragon Clan Daimyo (secret) using false transcripts and attempting to disguise his name as that of another man)
Naigotsu Akira (Level 14 Character, Serving the Crane, Gaijjin (secret))
Matsu Nimuro (Level 15 Character, Member of the Lion)
Uda Hiyone (Level 15 Character, Member of the Monkey Clan)
Each of the players will be placed into the tournament in the coming week. New members will be added as they announce themselves. If some slots are not filled, then they will be filled with NPC of my concoction.
In the Jade Contest we have fewer members even:
Mioko Sen (F) (Level 14 Character, Member of the Lion)
I might send a late entrant, but it isnt' very likely. If I made any mistakes do inform.
