> Miko: Examine newcomers. Without staring, of course, there's no need to be rude.
> Miko: Raise hand.

>Miko: You examine the newcomers. The winged one, to say the least, looks rather extravagant. And the one beside her strikes you...oddly foreign, given her manner of dress, but you don't think she is foreign. Yuyuko and the rest are as you remember them.
>Utsuho, Byakuren and Kotohime raise their hand. "Good, good, wonderful!" she says, looking around then stopping to take a closer look at Byakuren. "Very well done, Youmu!"

>"Think nothing of it, Youmu," says Yuyuko. Then she says, "Now, I imagine you all have some questions, so I'll tell just as much as I can. But not too much, we don't need any noisy tengu learning too soon!"

>"Oh yes, of course," says Yuyuko. "They're still being prepared, but I'm sure I can leave you with a little something before you go."
>"I am to understand we'll be holding the play in the human village, yes?" says Byakuren.
>"Yes, that's right," says Yuyuko. "We shouldn't have too much trouble with this."

>"Very good, very good," says Yuyuko. "Now, let's not keep you all too long, shall we?" She reaches into her sleeves and produces some papers, which she hands out to the four players. "These are the scripts so far, just enough to get you started, don't worry too much about the details right now. We'll get them worked out as the time goes on."

>Miko: The winged girl is looking at her paper with a puzzled expression. Byakuren seems to be reading hers calmly, while Kotohime seems to looking through her paper so to speak. The whispers of the desires in the room have definitely taken a shift toward the inquisitive.

>Miko: You look a bit further down, and...you aren't sure how they are connected to your character. They talk, at least, but the dialogue doesn't seem to offer an immediate hint, or make much sense. There aren't any notes.
