I need a shamisen Rhiannon arrangement stat
Who: Makie and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit, Twin Roses
When: Now-ish
[She'd been, uh... somewhat distracted about thinking on this from a bunch of ships colliding with each other and upsetting her carefully maintained equilibrium (guys I'm just a samurai chick who wants to sit peacefully and drink tea enough of these space shenanigans) and avoiding looking outside entirely, because being under the ocean is extremely unsettling.
Today is the first time she's been to the Iskaulit gardens since they arrived in this odd place. It reminds her of something she'd like to do.]
...in Adstringendum, people arrived and left all the time, much like this place. You grow used to a person's presence, establish... ties. [What a formal way of putting it. She's thinking of the bizarre jar collection in her room.] And then suddenly, they're gone. The same holds true here, doesn't it...? It can be hard for a great many people, even if you know you'll see them again.
In Adstringendum, we kept what we called a memory tree. People would attach the names of those who'd left... paper monuments, so they'd never be forgotten. And new arrivals would always know who had been and gone.
I wondered if we might do the same here.

[She'll be in the garden for most of the day. Either playing her shamisen or actually, you know, gardening. It's a thing. And if she concentrates on the dirt under her knees, maybe she can forget they're submerged in the ocean.]

It sounds fake.

Regardless, that wouldn't really work here. So we just...vanish.

You know, I don't know. Never heard of anything like that, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

It seems rather harsh. To break up families or friendships because someone finds you too dull. But that's... probably not the case.

You just have to learn to live each day as it comes. You never know when someone you care about will be taken away.

[It's an interesting thing to bring up. She's too polite to ask if he's one of those who doesn't have to deal with it.]

[His tone suggests he does it anyway. He's lost more people than he cares to count. At least sober. ]
Video;
[One she also generally employed before now, though for entirely different reasons. But that also answers her unspoken question.]
You're the owner of Malum, aren't you?

[Like. Probably twice.]
Video;
[It's a genuine question. He likes his bar a certain way, but he's happy to hear opinions, too. ]

And the playercest.]I'm not much of a drinker, though, so it's only special occasions. Unless you ever happen to find sake on your travels.
Video;
Hmmm. I think I can at least get something like sake. Let me see what I can rustle up on our next planet-slash-waystation, and I'll see what I can conjure for you.

[She doesn't doubt there's some kind of equivalent out here somewhere.]
