[k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 5] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami I see. Nobutsuna did mention I was not the only Servant that had been trapped. [k] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami He said Kama had personally chosen a couple to be her underlings, and assigned them different roles in the Ooku. [k] @Yagyu Tajima-no-kami This must be who he meant.

I can tell at a glance that their minds have been tampered with. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara I tried running my Five Approaches to Meditation program to counteract it...but I'm sorry to say the effort bore no fruit. [k] [charaFace A 5] @Sessyoin Kiara It must have been a poor match right at the root level. [k] @Sessyoin Kiara I have so little to be proud of, and this program[sr]is one of the few things to make that list. [k] [charaFace A 13] @Sessyoin Kiara So, I'm a little hurt at how completely it was rendered impotent here...

[k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut J 1200,1200] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 13] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Otsugi are the women in the Ooku responsible for the altar rooms, tea implements, utensils, and things like that. [k] [charaFace F 4] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone But they also have one other very important job. [k] [charaFace F 13] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone So important, in fact, that you can't[sr]be an otsugi unless you can do it.

[k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Whenever there's a holiday, or a party, or some other special occasion, it's the otsugi's job to liven it up! Though I'm not entirely sure why that is! [k] [charaFace F 9] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone At any rate, that's why my first criteria when choosing a new otsugi is whether or not they can do any tricks.

While I don't wish to[sr]speak ill about your acquaintances... [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone ...I have to say that their particular choice[sr]of outfits is much too...provocative. [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone I don't think I would ever have chosen them to be otsugi myself if they insisted on wearing those, no matter how talented they might be. [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone The Ooku's attendants are devoted solely[sr]to serving the shogun and his wife. [k] @Kasuga-no-Tsubone Just being sexy does not qualify one for the job.[sr]In fact, I would say it's very possible to be too sexy.

[k] [charaFace A 5] @Sessyoin Kiara But for this Ooku[line 2]a labyrinth built upon the mistaken belief that it is a place of lust and carnal pleasure[line 2]they couldn't be more at home. [k] [bgm BGM_EVENT_81 0.1] @Sessyoin Kiara Indeed, I would be surprised to learn that they were NOT included in this...peculiar setting.

[k] ?1:The question is, what do we do if they try to force us? ?! @Mash Right. I suspect that's why[sr]Kama chose them for this role. [k] @Mash And if so, that could make things[sr]somewhat difficult for us.
