  Time of war has stuck across the boarders of the ancient land, and more the hardest to a village who's path laid not only on the primary trade rout between the major cities, it lays directly in the center of the war land's boarders between the emperors of the north and south. Both sides of the war no doubt wish to take control of this village; but in doing so are slowly ripping it apart and driving merchants away; which is starting to heavily effecting the larger cities who depended on this smaller village to be a stopping point for merchants.. However within this chaos the village's biggest business is still growing strong and with the treat of the village getting wiped off the map isn't being taken lightly. A large and beautiful estate the Ikokufuu Chashitsu - meaning Exotic teahouse; puts up a job offering and reward to specifically Ronin warriors. (wandering Samurai) Their message states clearly that they wish for no help from ether side of the war, as they do want their establishment claimed or worse ruined by ether side. - The story would undergoing the struggles of soldiers and bandits harassing the establishment; but filled with it's own dark secretes and forbidden fruits as the tea-house is home to mostly Oiran ("Exotic" Entertainers) and Yujo (prostitutes) despite having the onward appearance as a simple entertaining tea-house, when in reality it's a gentleman's Brothel behind closed screens.

conversations.value: Owner of the Ikokufuu Chashitsu Teahouse. Mistree Yumiko is easily considered the most wealthiest and most powerful figures in this part of the country side. So it doesn't bring much of a surprise to see she would go out of her way to hire aid to protect her assets during this time of war. Originally sold to the same establishment she now owns, she rules it with an iron fist and an icy heart. However many of her employees will easily say she is not without compassion. However no woman is not without her dark secretes...
conversations.prefix: Speak With Mistress Yumiko:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Moving from table to table, Aiyoku is like a fluttering butterfly of grace. Meeting and greeting customers as they get settled at their tables. However it is pretty easy to spot that form her lack of fancy decoration and makeup that she is no Geisha, or Orian, or any kind of Hostess. She is A Yujo, a 'lady of the night' or for lack of a better word Prostitute. Under contract, or most likely owned by the teahouse. But just because she is a woman of pleasure, doesn't mean she can't cause you pain.

conversations.value: Hired by Mistress Yumiko a few years ago, few actually know much about Orochi's past aside from the fact that he was one of the original Samurai of the southern lord before the new leader of the south took over... He is quiet and tends to keep to himself, however what he lacks in conversation he gains in his sword skill and the ability to keep the peace in the teahouse.

conversations.value: This is a common Bottle of Sake.
  
  Sake, or otherwise known as "Rice Wine" This alcoholic beverage can be anywhere from sweet to dry, depending how strong and good the quality is. But regardless of what kind of Sake it is, if you drink enough of it you'll get drunk pretty easily due to it's high alcohol content.

His dishonor came after he was caught in bed with his Lord's own wife. He was not spared from death, but rather he fled with his life, and in some parts he is still considered a wanted man. But his usefulness and still lingering connections with men of the north is only a start of the reasons why the mistress keeps him around.

And you are  now the unfortunate target of her undying Wrath... But just what kind of hell could a little girl put you through?... It's only as limitless as the connections in the teahouse that favor her... After all there is equal reasons to why she is considered a little angel among the nobles..

conversations.value: The Souther gates just beyond the lower class residential. The biggest and most common part to run into trouble from the Empire of the South. - But also the most common place for merchants traveling on foot to enter the town.
conversations.prefix: South Gate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Located on the North-West side of town where the rice fields just barely touch with the upper class residential homes; a large shrine stands here, honoring the dead and enlightening the living. The monks often keep to themselves, but will often aid anyone who properly requests their services...
conversations.prefix: Shrine:
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Located in the dead center of the town; it goes without saying that the teahouse is not only a major draw to the town, but also it's living flue as Travelers, merchants and soldiers alike would spend their hard earned coins to relax their woes as they travel between nations. Without the teahouse to support the town, the town would most likely would have been smothered out months ago due to the war... But yet due to the loans and payments given; most businesses are ether now owned by or in dept to the teahouse.
conversations.prefix: Teahouse Estate:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Located south of the village, it is the most populated and most run down part of the city. However unlike the upper class, most of the citizens here will greet you with honor and respect, but in exchange the crime rate is much higher in these areas; so it's best not to wander about in the later hours alone...
conversations.prefix: Residential (Lower Class):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Located north of the town, most of the Wealther and noble bloods live in these parts; and as such their homes and streets are that much more protected. More often then not commoners will be questioned or escorted out, even if they are only traveling by in the area.
conversations.prefix: Residential (Upper Class):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Located on the West side of the town; farmers and brewers have set their homes here to make the most of the marshy lands that otherwise would be impossible to build on. It's rough terrain makes it a low threat for invaders. However being farther out away from the town it's less likely anyone will hear much of a scuffle...
conversations.prefix: Rice Fields (West Gate):
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: This massive garden not only completely surrounds the tea-house; but also acts as a open-defense against intruders that may try to cause trouble to the teahouse Residence. But beyond it's use it's beauty is often something admired by many in the town. And often many would pay to take private strolls within these gardens to view and visit the blossoming trees and Koi it is so well known for.
conversations.prefix: Garden (Teahouse):
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: Located behind the teahouse on the east side, but still covered by the estate's gardens and gates. The hotsprings, or more commonly called bath house is used just as frequently if not more then the teahouse it self. As many travelers who do not wish for entertainment and simply a hot bath will visit this location, but also most likely for it's cheaper cost as well... The hot-springs features 5 different enclosed areas: Co-gender, Male, Female and two Private areas. Each priced accordingly.

conversations.value: You haven’t done a hard day’s work in your life; whether or not this means you’re stuck-up, and whether or not you have the know-how to get by, it does mean you stick out like a sore thumb in a worker’s joint. Anyone who would look down on a lily-skinned boss or an overseer who just shouts orders and doesn’t even know what they mean will probably dislike you.
conversations.prefix: Lily-Soft Hands:
conversations.from: gpt
conversations.value: You don’t believe in solving disputes through violence—either because of religious conviction or the way your mama raised you. You are only willing to engage in violence only under the most dire of circumstances.
  
conversations.prefix: Non-Fightin' Type:

conversations.value: You have no qualms about hurting people who get in your way. In fact, you think torture is a good way to get information or punish the enemy, and you enjoy making your enemies suffer.

conversations.value: Life is better when you’re dressed well. You spend a lot of time and money on your appearance.
  
  You hesitate to take actions that could harm your clothes or appearance, and you may be distracted by even a minor stain or tear. You may take a penalty while you try and focus your attention back on matters at hand, or to resist the urge to fritter away your hard-earned coin on pretties in a clothier shop.

conversations.value: While the Mistress often spends her mornings peacefully reviewing paperwork, and working out budgets. However today clearly something has ruffled her exotic feathers, as she is seen marching with a handful of the other higher ranked servants, forcing Orions, Geisha, and Yujo alike to wake up and even part from their customers for an emergency meeting on the second floor. The real question is however... why?...

conversations.value: You have worked the ways of the land your entire life and in reality you didn't really need the same luxuries as the common town folk. Expect one thing; and that is human contact.
  
  Even if you know how to get around in places of high civilization (which you might not) you find that anyone inclined to look down on the lower classes doesn’t like you very much.
  
  However what you lack in class and status you gain in the vast knowledges of farm life, you can cook and craft just about anything from scratch. And aside from Plant, Animal and basic nature knowledge you have the one thing the upper class can't life without... Tea and Sake!

conversations.value: Often found in the darker corners of the streets, teahouses and brothels, Yujo's are prostitutes of the ancient lands. Whether they do so by choice, or where sold into the trade.
  
  But beyond the women of pleasure, they are the keeper of countless dark secrets as they mingle with men and women of every variety and type, more often then not the more shady types.
  
  Unlike the classier and more flashy Entertainers of the trade they more freedom to live out their lives, and even have the chance to break their contracts early if they where sold into trade; but on the flip side they get fair worse overall treatment..
  
  But more often then not it makes these women hard as nails and even cold as ice.

  Those Ronin who desired steady, legal employment became mercenaries that guarded trade caravans, or bodyguards for wealthy merchants. 
  
  Many other Ronin became criminals, operating as bandits and highwaymen, or joining organized crime in towns and cities. Ronin were known to operate, or serve as hired muscle for gangs that ran gambling rings, brothels, protection rackets, and other similar activities. Many were petty thieves and muggers.

conversations.value: Being from the Southern lands these Samurai are often seen wearing red armor to display their region of origin. In the southern lands these samurai in resent years followed their master into power, as they dethroned the corrupted leader in power in order to save their people. A fairly new order they have come into conflict with the north who has been taking advantage of the chaos that has resulted in the recent dethroning. Desperately trying to keep the land they fought so hard to take back in the first place.
  
  Samurai in general make up the ruling military class that is the highest ranking social caste. Samurai use a range of weapons such as bows and arrows, spears and guns, but their main weapon and symbol is the sword.
  
  Samurai were supposed to lead their lives according to the ethic code of bushido ("the way of the warrior").

Many samurai were also drawn to the teachings and practices of Zen Buddhism.

conversations.value: Oiran are entertainers and courtesans of nobles, and are not to be mistaken for a grungy prostitute; as a single night with such a woman typically would cost a lower-class man a whole month's worth of earnings.
  
   They are distinguished from prostitute in that they were entertainers, and many became celebrities outside the pleasure districts.
  
  However much like Geisha they are women of entertainment and status, and are actually rarely concubines. Often seen during social gatherings and noble parties. They often become Wives and mistresses of noble men and as such they are highly educated.
  
  However one does not simply become an Oiran over night; in most cases  young women that are sold or born into prostitution are often taken in by Oiran groups and trained into elegance. Raised up from more often then not the lower class many have their dark secrets, and are equally trapped in the elegant birdcage they have designed for themselves.

conversations.value: Ether you where born or married into it; you never worked a real day in your life, nor do you ever intend to. Your rank in society allows your voice to be herd, and just as easily helps you get just what you wanted. You are well educated and proper, and perhaps one day you'll find yourself among one of the emperor's courts.
  
  But while you gain in education, you are blinded by the real flow of the world, and fail to connect and even understand commoners, which is only the start of why so many equally dislike you.

conversations.value: A monk is a person who practices philosophy, living either alone or with any number of other monks. A monk may be a person who decided to dedicate his life to serving all other living beings, or to be an ascetic who voluntarily chooses to leave mainstream society and live his life in meditation and seek enlightenment.
  
  Monks are passive in nature, and are observed as simple, kind people; however it does not mean they are defenseless.

conversations.value: A retired Samurai of the north, Mushin is too one of the regulars at the teahouse. He often buys drinks for blue soldiers, and gives advice to young warriors of the same color. However while he seems like a pretty well rounded old man, others will call him a biased prick. He hates the southern dwellers, regardless if they are samurai, man, woman, or even child.... And don't even get him started about Ronins....

conversations.value: Daughter of one of the higher ranking Orions of the teahouse. Sakura was born & raised within the teahouse; and is destined to become an Orion herself.
  Many in the teahouse often call Sakura Imouto-Chan; or little sister; which is common to call the young Orions in training. But do no let her sweetness fool you; while nobles and higher rankings consider this 9 year old a sparkling little angel, the lower ranks and servants will tell you she is a heartless little monster.

  < Overhearing that there will possibly be an invasion of southern soldiers doesn't settle well with anyone, more so a solider of the north. While it was rude to overhear the mistress' meeting it strikes up opportunity as well. She may be reeducation to take any help from ether side at this point. However with the right approach it might be possible to gather some information. And who knows, there could be a lot more then information to gain...

While others have had nearly been through hell to get to even a noticeable status she.. I mean he; has calmly breezed past the hazing stages... Wait.. 'HE'?! ... Perhaps you should take some time to get to know this Geisha...

conversations.value: Your miserable life has taught you to grin and bear it in the face of adversity. This can lead your employers to think you *like* the work they give you, and help your "lovers" think they really are the best you've ever had.
  
  But more importantly, it helps keep those you care about relatively sane. 
  
  The confidence you project can be seductive in its own way, leading others to take you a bit more seriously when you do it just right.
