"We stand out in a crowd, Mirumoto Hanzo-san," Emi replied dryly.  Both of them towered about the typical Scorpion and she didn't think they'd have much success blending in and finding out information.  Though, Akane, Meihwa and Hashimoto might be able to do it fairly well.<br/><br/>"I think we should discuss how we plan to go about our duties," Emi continued.  "But a crowded common room is not the best place for such talk.  We should go upstairs and join Soshi Hashimoto to include him in the conversation and to make sure no one else is included."<br/><br/>Personally, Emi thought that they should cut directly to the heart of the matter and start cracking down on the opium trade.  Barring that, she thought they should try to track down the assassin of the previous magistrate.  Emi personally looked forward to trying her steel against the bandits though.<br/><br/>
