It is the early morning and the Dojo has been prepared for the first class in the most peculiar way. The chairs have been arranged in the middle of the room into a circle which is facing inward. There is a sign on the practice sword which reads "Please Have A Seat"
And in the middle of the room is a tiny little goth in a white dress which very much resembles a funeral dress. She is sitting on a chair separate from the others, wearing a pair of opaque goggles and holding a parasol in her hand .She is seated gracefully though this may also be due to her I-pad plugged into her headphones. With the goggles impossible to see through and her strange un-moving seating position she looks almost doll-like as she waits there, waiting for the students to file in.

Tarik showed up. He was still getting over his hangover, so he was sporting the I-am-dead look: Unmade hair, black glasses, a little off cloth and stuff. Aziz was behind him but in Mekhem he commanded him to stay by the door outside the dojo. He bowed first to the half-Ivindi and smiled at her, but didn't speak yet. Then he approached Doji Fuyuko and bowed, much lower. "Morning, Doji-sensei, I hope that Inari has indeed blessed you today. Is it ok if Aziz stays there, or I should ask him to move somewhere else?" [Awareness/Etiquette roll: 22 to be polite and not make a fool of himself.] |

Kobushi makes his way to the class as well. He had absolutely no knowledge of iai, but it seemed improper for a Crane not to know how its done. Hopefully, his classmates won't leave him too far behind in ability. When he spots the sensei, he doesn't feel any less nervous and apprehensive. No doubt a Crane sensei would hold a very high standard --- one he felt unlikely to meet any time soon.
Then he sees the gorilla. When did Hida Shigenobu get here?, he jokes to himself.
"Good morning, sensei. This one is Daidoji Kobushi."

Kakita Isao filed in after Daidoji Kobushi and was happy to see the girl he sparred with, Ichiro Priya, in addition to his friend Priya. He brought his bag for the class which included his iaido gear, though he left it on the floor on the side of the dojo floor. The Crane looked at the array of chairs and then looked to the girl. Was she the sensei? The others made the assumption so he followed suit. The young Crane offered Doji Fuyuko a bow. "Good morning, Sensei," he said, his voice tempered and cordial. Afterwards he took a seat, put on his trademark smile, and looked around at his acquaintances and friends but otherwise kept quiet. |

Fuyuko stands, giving a bow first to the badger. Then as Tarik enters a small flicker of a smirk crosses her face. "Tarik-san, he will be acceptable outside of course." she returns the Daidoji and the Kakita's bow as well, her whispery quiet voice something one needs to strain to hear as she takes off her headphones, unplugging them from the music.

The gaijin nods and after checking what the other kids do, he looks around. It is the first time he is being in a dojo. The whole thing feels weird. Spotting Kakita Isao he bowed and sat near him. "Yo! Did you have fun yesterday?" He asked behind a fan that he opened with trained and precise moves despite his hangover. |

"I did," he said with a nod, smiling at Tarik al-Menjari as he joined him. "It was a really fun party. I talked to a lot of people, enjoyed the music, and met a few others. I saw your post on Facescroll, so I think you had fun too." With a grin he nodded, keeping his voice down as he kept an eye on the Sensei. Class hadn't started but he didn't want to interrupt. He had know idea what to expect out of their teacher so he played it quiet and reserved until he got a better feel out of her.

Priya also nods to Kakita Isao as he enters. Hopefully in taking this class she will pick up a few tips that will keep her alive next time she spars with him. |

Kakita Isao"It was good. Before I got wasted." He laughed at himself. "My head is still killing me. You know Fuyuko-sensei?"
