Negotiations move forward. With the clans solidifying their positions and stakes it comes time to move as new pieces enter the board. In that same vein, negotiations have tightened as .

Are you ready to meet the parents?

This session will be an intrigue, as Crane and Phoenix come together in the Compound once again, this time the parents of both betrothed are present. PVP is an element of this session, player characters who follow their Clan objectives will find themselves in opposition to the goals of the other side. This is a low stakes session, so don't worry too badly about how hard you can tear each other's eyes out, you're meant to advance the clan goals not just get into catty arguments.

The session is *mostly* restricted to Crane and Phoenix characters. Kaito Kiyomi will be given priority with a GM swap since... well she's half of the marriage. As well as Tonbo Aya, whom has been instated as Nakodo for these talks. Balance between the competing clans will be prioritized, which will be chosen through Priority. I will likely open up threads for "rooms" for people outside the session roster to participate in role-play with no stakes, which will be open to people outside of the prioritized clans.

IF Not enough phoenix or crane fill out the roster, the priority by CLAN will be:

1-Dragonfly

2-Dragon/Unicorn

3-Lion/Scorpion

4-Crab

5-Ronin

Session is expected to run for 72 hours. But I may extend it for up to another 48 if more time is needed to go through the motions, or perhaps the roleplay gets juicy.
