First of all, if you are at all familiar with L5R (and maybe even if you are not), you need to hie yourself over to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

The opening paragraph:
Tee hee.
When I'm not giggling madly over cracktastic fanfic, I'm madly scurrying around the bakery. The time I spent this past two weeks training a new night baker was time I didn't spend in the day bakery, and so we are now out of a lot of things. And one of our coffee-house clients has placed their biggest order yet. And the lumbering doom known as Thanksgiving is heaving up over the time-horizon. Thanksgiving is to the grocery trade what Gencon is to gaming: there are other holidays, but none of them quite compare in magnitude.
So naturally I'm planning to leave work early on Friday so that I can go down to the L5R tournament (and bachelor party) in KC. At first I didn't think I'd be able to go, but Bob "Hida Yagamaki" Yager and Mason "Daigotsu Usharo" Crawford are coming down from Sioux Falls, and since Lincoln is right on the way to KC (for Great Plains values of "right on the way" they agreed to pick me up and split a room with me. South Dakota boys are so sweet. <3
Things to do before I go: Build deck, do laundry, BAKE CAKE. I might give into temptation and buy the frosting, but the cake will be from scratch. I suppose I should check to see if the co-op in Lawrence makes our cake: I know they have access to the recipe. So much to do, so little time!

The series of events that would later be referred to variously as the Season of Teeth (by the Crane), the War of Dire Beasts (by the Lion), or That Thing With The Possums (by everyone else) started, as so many wars do, with a party.
