Who knocks at the guarded gate? [Semi-Open]
Characters: All members of TOOTWL!
Content: The White Lotus members gather in secret to drink tea and play Pai Sho discuss important wordly matters
Setting: A secret room in the back of a flower shop in Balisier
Time: during the Hanami festival
Warnings: ...tea? possibly raised voices and Jedi-like secret orders?
Flowers were falling from the sky.
While being beautiful and a truly a natural wonder to behold, it made life difficult for flower shop owners; one's wares were not exactly in high demand at the moment.
One such merchant did currently have a patron, however. And there would be many more people entering through his door before the day was done. They would come in, look around for a while, and then be offered the chance to view "more delicate blossoms" in the back room. It helped, of course, that the proprietor of the shop was himself a member of the Order. He had gladly set up the large Pai Sho board in the center of the room, and placed the single centerpiece tile upon it, as was tradition.
The old man currently occupying the back room was sitting calmly in the room, looking over the large Pai Sho board with interest while he sipped a cup of most exquisite jasmine tea as he awaited the arrival of the others.
From a fold in his robe, Grand Lotus Iroh took another tile and placed it on the board next to the White Lotus tile. The Dragon was present, and waiting for the others to enter and place their own tiles upon the board. Then the meeting could begin in earnest.
[[OOC: The first thread is for arrivals and pleasant conversation complete with tea drinking as we wait for everyone to get here. Threads after will be for different topics of discussion. Let's have fun!
