"NO! No chicken!"

"I want to play go – with YOU!"

what do you think?"

Hotei, badmouthing the ronin Amakuchi.
"Well, they are not a rarity." – Akodo Atama

– Shosuro Kando
Kakita Rei, examining the mysterious scrolls: "It's the Lost Hare Spell!"

"Maybe they just wanted to get rid of some of the gamey flavour."
– Shosuro Kando
"Don't get lost, this place is a warren!"
– Shosuro Kando, still working on Hare jokes
GM: "You see the Crane across the street, talking to some urchins. She seems to be giving them candy."

"Let's go menace!"
– Akodo Atama
