> You are at the family's prized collection of weapons. It's not a safe but a display, exquisitely arranged to look impressive and imposing, to showcase the more martial aspects of the Hieda family's history. Weapons of all shapes and sizes are arranged here.
> You realise that you have no idea how to use any of these properly, and most are simply much too big for your 10-year-old self. (Minimum Brawling: 2, size penalties might apply to increase this further.)
> A deep humming noise comes from your right as space bends and twists, opening into portal - an infamous sight all across Gensokyo, obviously the work of the youkai known as Yukari. You know not to look closely into the portal, as the legends speak of terrible things that hide there. You hear an annoyed, indistinct voice having a conversation with somebody, becoming clearer and louder as the speaker comes through to this side.
> "...me if I missed it, nobody expected her to..."
> The voice stops just as the speaker finally comes through - a woman only slightly taller than you, wearing the magnificent regalia of a Netherworld Judge. She has a resigned expression on her face, which she quickly turns into her usual impassive stare.
> You know plenty about her, though you've never met her in person - Shikieki Yamaxanadu, one of the great Judges, the final arbiters of the afterlife.
> "Ahem. Congratulations on your first victory, participant insert name-..."
> Her eye twiches just barely, and she quickly glances at a card in her hand.
> "Participant Akyu of the Hieda clan. Your victory points have been recorded into the Tournament Record. The Exalted Administration of the Seven Heavens wishes you great success in your battles, and may you achieve glorious victory."
> She sighs, and the tired expression returns to her face, though she does crack a smile.
> "Seriously though, well done. None of us expected you to break your immunity and join straight in. Such a messy fight as well!"
