APRIL 2022 EVENT

1. HANAMI

The week of the Night Parade is marked by the traditional symbols of Spring in Japan. Somehow, several city blocks have been turned into cherry blossom groves as a show of goodwill by the Sutoku Alliance. These cherry trees don't feel normal. They are more like spectral manifestations. Rumor has it they grew so quickly because they're planted on top of a graveyard. That's just a rumor, though. Don't pay it any mind! Don't listen to any whispers you might hear if you walk through the rows of trees alone and certainly don't dig under them for proof of their provenance.

Accompanying the hanami are copious amounts of food and drink. Such as dango, specialized bento, sake, and festive drinks. They are all available to purchase from stalls near the spectral grove. The refreshments may have a little something special added to them:
Ingredients that promote peace (calming any angry or upset feelings)
Ingredients that promote romance (gives soft, warm feelings towards the first person you see).
These effects are mild and only last as long as you're in the boundary of the grove. Eat, drink, and be merry with your fellow lost souls.

2. KANAMARA MATSURI (NSFW IMAGERY)

In addition to the simple joys of flower viewing and the cherry blossoms blooming, new festivals pop everywhere. They are inspired by various regional festivals from all over Japan. Some of these are benign and feature your normal festival fair. Others are a little more unusual, such as the Kanamara matsuri-inspired treats. You can thank the Tamamo Clan for this. Don't mind the giant phallus being carried down the street or the wooden phalluses you can ride on or the interesting mascots walking down the sidewalk, or the suggestive vegetable carvings.

Surprisingly, none of these foods are spiked, at least not more than the experimental recipes had been during the parade preparations. The spirit of the thing is more just the amusement of genital-based foods rather than anything meant to entice a sexy sort of good time. That will come as the parade rounds out onto the bath district...

3. HADAKA MATSURI

cw: nonsexual nudity

If that cheeky festival isn't your kind of fun, maybe the hadaka matsuri is more your speed. The Department of the Enma are probably the most stressed out faction in the entire city, so the Enma has allowed them to put on a festival to blow off some steam! It's a bit different from the traditional celebration: it's not contained to just men and it's not contained to a shrine.

This event is a mobile mob of nearly naked people and youkai running after a cart with a masked person throwing out small sticks. They represent good luck for the people who manage to nab them. There are far fewer sticks than there are people present and everyone will do a lot to get one of the coveted prizes. Try not to get in their way!

Or you can get caught up in it all and try to snag one yourself to see what your fortune holds. (No, the Enma isn't participating. Too dirty, for his tastes.)

4. FESTIVE FUN

A. SUMO
Some other festivities you might come across are miniature sumo tournaments put on by the Shuten Clan. Raised dirt circles with chalk rings on the outer perimeter pop up seemingly everywhere. Two people are allowed in the ring at one time and there are strict rules to be followed. If you disobey the rules, you may find yourself suddenly ejected from the ring with magical or physical means, and at the mercy of a Shuten enforcer.

Play by the rules to beat your opponent and victors will find themselves rewarded with a strong bottle of booze. The winners of each bout are handed out a commendation by Toraguma himself, which comes in the form of a commemorative sake gourd. This is probably the kind of prize you'd expect from an Oni at a festival like this.

B. FOOD RUNNERS WANTED
If you're in the mood to pad your pockets, maybe you want to help the Tamamo Clan out by running food delivery. This opportunity is available to anyone regardless of affiliation. Runners will be fitted with a contraption to carry the food orders on their person and may proceed either on foot or on a small motorbike. Be careful and make sure not to drop anything! Any ruined or undelivered orders will come directly out of your pay.

It's harder than it looks not to drop the food with all the excitement going on and your delivery recipient may be similarly hard to locate.

C. HOT BATHS (NSFW + cw: optional aphro)
The Tamamo Clan has set up a sanctioned orgy in one of their larger brothels. Rooms are available for whatever your heart desires, including one with exposed windows if you like being watched or if you want to watch in kind. Baths and pools are available for all your indulgent fantasies. Everything you could need is at your disposal: toys, restraints, costumes, lubricants, condoms, aphrodisiacs in many forms. It's a proper bacchanal celebration!

All that matters is your consent and enthusiasm.

5. NIGHT PARADE

One of the primary highlights of the Night Parade are the fantastical floats depicting scenes of legendary events. Keen-eyed observers may note that the humans are portrayed as the bad guys in most of them. While a few of these are mounted on motorized vehicles, most of them are carried by people. That means you'll probably be called on to help carry one along the parade route. It's a fun job, if exhausting.

If you're not the type to wear yourself out carrying a float, ride on one instead! There's plenty of things to toss out into the crowd along the street; candies and trinkets. Dress up in a fitting costume and walk around the float. Have fun scaring bystanders or just have fun hamming it up and celebrate the peaceful night.

5. FIREWORKS

The parade's central stop is the festival square in the heart of the city, just under the shadow of the Kaigo no Bou Tower. There is a stage set up here where the four faction leaders and their personal entourages have assembled. All of them are giving pretty typical speeches. The Enma has declined to give one, having no patience for unnecessary oration. Tenkohime gives praise to the unifying factors of love in the city, while Toraguma rallies the crowd like a sports hero; encouraging them to get stronger and do better in the coming year.

The Daitengu is the last to speak and they also seem to have the largest entourage. The entourage is quite conspicuous: White Wolf Tengu, each standing well-taller than the Daitengu themselves. They are carrying massive broadswords strapped to their backs and hunting about the area for anything suspicious with keen eyes that seem to see right through the crowd and the heat of night.

The Daitengu's speech is also pretty typical, although much more humble than their fellows. Mostly, they just wants to hurry up and get to the fireworks. Just as they finish speaking, the sky lights up.
There are a few peaceful moments beneath this spectacle as the crowd enjoys the display of unity and phantasmal wonder that this unique and strange world has created.

But the explosions aren't just in the sky. One particularly loud boom seems to rattle the very earth beneath the crowd. That is the only warning anyone gets before...

6. A NIGHT PARADE TO REMEMBER

Every manhole cover on the street bursts open, injuring anyone that was standing nearby. Far worse is the deluge of steam that rushes out from the underground. Pillars of hot, blinding steam spill into the air, quickly filling the streets. The luminescence of the festival lamps and city lights are diffused and blurred into singular blobs of color, obscuring all vision and making it impossible to see what's going on. The panicked cries of the crowd also make it impossible to hear. Everything happens so suddenly, so violently, that ascertaining what's going on takes time.

Too much time.

In the chaos, gunshots are heard. They seem to come from several directions. Fighting is breaking out. It's difficult to tell from where and who is in the brawl. Previously unseen figures in full-body black coverings appear from nowhere, rushing the stage. They zoom past any Lost Souls nearby, ignoring their presence. They are focused on a singular goal. The barking of the White Wolf Tengu further indicates the goal of the attack.

Struggle in the steam, help others get to safety, get caught up in fighting the other factions, try to protect the Faction leaders, or try to keep up with the black-suited youkai rushing the stage; do as much as you can.

When the steam finally begins to clear, however, there will at least be one thing that is certain: the Daitengu has been killed.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[While the bath is not the place for Ydris, they are hanging around this particular part of the event. Keeping an eye out for Azem in particular, they sneak a tentacle to tickle up the back of their neck.]

I've been looking for you. Having your fun, thus far?

[ Azem, fresh from a bath, is clad in a short robe that continues to slip down one shoulder due to being improperly tied. She sees no reason to properly do it up when it's just going to come off again.

She lets out a somewhat surprised yelp at the sensation of the appendage as it tickles the back of her neck. Their surprise, however, turns to delight as they turn to take in the owner of the tentacle. ]

Ah, hello again! [ She moves closer, eager to close any distance between them. ] Are you?

Edited 2022-04-04 01:54 (UTC)

With these, I've been having a delightful time. [The tentacle retreats and joins with the other floating around Ydris. They wanted to show off the ability, looking utmost pleased about having their projected limbs back. Very useful, having four limbs to play with.]

I suspect I'll have an even better one soon, if you're free.

[ Azem takes in the whole collection of new appendages and grins. ] You happen to have caught me at a good time. Shall we find a room?

[ Not that Azem is opposed to a more public display under these circumstances, obviously, but a room would also be nice and comfortable. Not to mention the brothel has plenty to spare. ]

We shall. [they offer an arm to loop with hers, though since she's from Tamamo, it's her choice to lead them to what manner of room. Some have big open windows to show off, after all. Others, actually private. Ydris leaves it to her comfort.]

The question then is what kind. In the mood to put on a show? [a quirk of their head]

Might get you more customers, fill out that card swiftly.

[ Once her arm is taken Azem begins to lead them back toward a room. Though she pauses to give the options a thought. More customers does mean more cards filled and the potential for a but if she was going to put on a show she feels like finding a room wouldn't be all that necessary. ]

Tempting as that is, I think I'd prefer to have a private room. Perhaps we can put on a show another time?

[ And with that, she'll lead them to one of the private rooms. There's quite a few toy options on display though they might not be all that necessary given Ydris' newly returned abilities. ]

Private is perfect. [Ydris is happy with either, they just want to play with their- well, new toys isn't really accurate. Newly returned abilities? They were second nature to them for so long, being without the extra limbs was extremely limiting.

They aren't really wasting time once inside the room. Spectral hands float and close the door behind them, clicking it to locked. Hands attached to their body sweep one around Azem's back and one at her front. The latter caresses her jaw, Ydris pressing in for an urgent and passionate kiss. All spice and tart, just as before.

Why dawdle when they can immediately escalate? They're only really patient when they need to be]

[ Azem lets out a surprised little giggle when she finds Ydris wasting no time. And while the sound is muffled by the kiss, there's no mistaking her amusement.

She wonders if it's strange to say she missed the way Ydris tastes. It hasn't even been that long since she first tasted that magic of theirs. A pleased little hum reverberates in her chest.

As before, she can't help as her fingers move to play with their hair, the other hand looking for something to grasp onto. She's just handsy. ]

[Ydris smirks into that kiss as it's met with such eager reciprocation. They'll need to reward that!

Namely, by making their illusion more detailed and robust in the places she's focusing on. It is largely controlled by how much effort Ydris is willing to put into the details. Their mouth gains definition, soft lips give way so a softer tongue, reaching out to press into her mouth and find hers. Hair becomes lighter, less rigid and stiff, something she can actually run her fingers through. Of course... everything about Ydris has an edge of waxiness to it, but that's just unavoidable. (Great for chapped lips, though!)

They drop their hands down to reach around her hips, settling at her lower back and pressing in there. Ydris was her arching further into them, as if they'll sweep her up into their arms at any moment. And maybe they will, though it'll be tentacles in that case, probably not arms]

[ She lets out a pleased sound when she finds their form becomes detailed. She lets out a pleased sound, humming into the kiss. She accepts their tongue easily, letting her own slide against theirs. The waxy nature of Ydris' hair doesn't bother her, she runs her fingers through the strands wondering if it's as strong as actual hair. She'd hate to break it if she pulled too hard.

She lets Ydris move her however they want. Eager to find out what they can do now with their little upgrade. ]

Edited 2022-04-08 04:33 (UTC)

[Should she try, the illusion proves less than sturdy to tug on. Her fingers finding nothing to grasp onto and the hair reforms where it should be on Ydris, with just a wisp of light. They can't quite make the illusion that realistic. Maybe with some further power upgrades...

... of which they really want to test their recent regain. After a long, likely breathless kiss from Azem, they separate with a smirk. Their tentacle limbs wrap around her; one coiling at the back of her knees and the other supporting her back. They are strong enough to lift her without trouble and Ydris' lets her fall from the embrace of their arms down into the floating appendages. Smoothly lifting and sailing her to the bed, they give an all too playful heave-ho rock, for a bit of momentum, before tossing her backward onto the plush mattress. Just enough to make her bounce a little as she landed onto the pillows.

And Ydris themselves isn't far behind this. They cast aside the fae-silk robe that is their only actual piece of clothing. Floating across the bed after her, they straddle her with one hand leaned forward to grip the headboard, looking down at her for something like approval before pursuing more than all that]

[ Perhaps that's something she'll find out later. Right now, she's being careful about how much she pulls as her fingers thread through that hair.

Breathless, certainly. She gasps for air the moment Ydris' lips leave her own. Though it's followed up by another gasp as she falls back into the new limbs and finds herself floating off of the ground. She's not unfamiliar with this sensation. She's capable of flight in her true form, but this is different, this is something she has no control over.

Being tossed is met with a giggle, her robe going askew, revealing her chest entirely. She sees no reason to fix it, not when Ydris is over her as quickly as they are ].

Well, hello. [ She bites her bottom lip as one side quirks up into a bit of a grin. ]

Rather far in, to be exchanging greetings now, [a bemused tone, something they can sort of manage to match their expression, if it's a bit dry in delivery.

Keeping their one hand forward on the headboard, they do so more for the domineering pose it strikes than anything like needing balance. They can float, after all, but it's more appealing to actually let some weight press down. Their free hand hooks fingers beneath her chin and rubs a thumb along that bottom lip, tugging away from where it was caught between her teeth.]

Don't get so excited you forget my name. I will want to hear you say it. [an unsaid promise that it will be in a fit of passion, of course]

I suppose it is. [ She chuckles.

Azem seems to enjoy having Ydirs over her like that. She can't help the excited little wiggle she does when they tug her bottom lip out from between her teeth. ]

What was your name again? [ She asks, trying desperately to keep the grin off her face. It's clear she hasn't forgotten it but can't help but tease a little. ]

[She does successfully throw them off for just a moment. They don't look stunned so much as just willing to remind her flatly, before catching on that's probably a joke.

A somewhat bemused, somewhat embarrassed exhale out their nose is accompanied with a comical puff of smoke]

Suppose I walked into that one.

[ Azem chuckles, reaching up to caress Ydris' cheek. ] You'll learn I enjoy playing with people in such ways.

[ She doesn't have Emet-Selch here to tease mercilessly, so she has to find new people to fill that particular void. ]

Just as you'll learn my name? [they can tease right back, keeping it light between them is nice. Some got so dramatic about sex and that's not really Ydris. Not so far as they've experienced, maybe one day it'll strike them to take the acts more seriously.

For this, simple fun and enjoyment of one another's company is everything this needs to be. A smile quirks back onto Ydris' expression, always a bit later or a bit early to their words. They simply aren't great at keeping tone, words, and expression all in sync, given it's not as natural an occurrence for them as it is for others.

Their attention falls down along her hand touching their face, trailing the line of her arm to her exposed breasts. A little campfire crackle of a hum rumbles out of them]

I look forward to seeing all of you, this time. Before, I only got a peek. [mostly they got their hands on her, less so their vision. They make a playful assertion, given the last time Ydris had to turn their head away to exhale smoke] You forgive me in advance for blowing out smoke.

Oh, I'm sure it'll be seared in my brain by the end. [ Azem takes very little seriously or at least appears to. But sex is definitely at the top of the not to be taken seriously list. She's never really felt a connection that made that act out to be something serious, it's always just been a bit of a fun time spent with a near stranger.

It doesn't escape Azem's notice in the way Ydirs' expressions never seem to quite suit their words or tone, but she's not bothered by it. It's just a reminder that Ydris is an interesting creation. One that Azem would very much like to explore all of. ]

I'm all yours to do as you wish. Within reason, of course. [ Her fingers trail a little lower, down their neck before Ydris' own fingers trails to her breasts. She lets out a soft hum and shifts beneath them with a smile. ] The smoke is quite interesting so you're forgiven.

[Ydris' fingers pluck at her robe front, loosening and peeling it away from her all the way down. They sigh in more reserved satisfaction as she's revealed, just a bit of smoke billowing up from the corners of their mouth. It's probably the most dragon they've looked yet.]

What are you limitations of reason, Azem-? I have two hands and two other limbs of your choice, of which you know my preference for shape. [chanting- tentacles, tentacles, tentacles!] Though they can shift into most anything organic, for your pleasure. Have you anywhere I should not touch nor tease?

[boundaries are important, Ydris isn't precisely bad at guessing games of the flesh, but stumbling into something unpleasant for a partner is best avoided when it can be helped]

[ He might have felt it during their previous encounter, but now that he can see her he'll find she's a rather fit individual. And while he's taking her in, she's watching the way that smoke puffs out from the corners of their mouth. ] Already heated up, hmm?

[ She hums thoughtfully before speaking again. ] Well, Ydris, I suppose anything that results in lasting damage is out.

[ If she had access to her full magicks she might not be opposed to a little harm brought against her for the sake of pleasure. Perhaps in the future... As it is, Azem is open to just about anything. So far she hasn't found anything she doesn't like, then again, she still has a lot to experience. ]

Whatever shape you deem appropriate is fine by me.

I wouldn't do anything to hurt you. [said with utmost strictness- what was that about not treating this too seriously, Ydris? They seem to catch how overly weighty such a proclamation might sound, like something a proper lover might declare. No, no... no, nope.]

Ahem. [they literally just say the word flatly, because they don't actually have a throat to clear. Moving on...]

My pleasure is derived from yours, so if something isn't working, I can always change tact.

[ She chuckles a little at that proclamation followed up by the false attempt at clearing their throat. At least it doesn't seem to bother Azem. ]

Ah, so that's how it works for you. Well, then I'll be sure to let you know if something isn't working. [ Not that she wasn't going to do that anyway. ]

Very good, then. [And also, enough chitchat when there is heating up to do. Pushing her robes aside, they soak in the sight of her body laid out beneath them. If she has a bra, that's swiftly getting removed next, but if not, Ydris simply takes her breast within their palm right away. They lean down to kiss her at once, adding smoke and spice back onto her tongue.

Extra limbs do their own thing entirely. Azem will feel a bit of a tickle at each of her ankles. The tips of tentacles tease up from her heel and wrap around, slowly as they trail up her legs in coils. They're pleasantly warm and smooth, neither slick nor slimy as one might imagine. Each is strong, at that, she can squirm and struggle against them without finding much wiggle room. All apart of the fun, Ydris hopes]

[ There's nothing beneath the robe, Azem figured there was no point in more clothing than was necessary. Why waste time undressing when there was fun to be getting to? If Azem had anything to say in response it's cut off by Ydris' lips claiming her own. Not that she can complain about that. The spice and smoke are welcomed, drawing a pleased sound from her.

She squirms a little as the extra limbs make their way up her legs. She's not really fighting against them so much as fighting against the ticklish sensation she feels at first. ]

[That's all well and good by Ydris, the robe being the only thing on Azem makes it easy to unwrap her from the clothing like a present. One specially waiting for them, in this moment. Of course, they do so methodically, absolutely not the type to tear up the wrapping on a gift to get to it.

The tentacles meanwhile spiral all the way up her legs, one for each, caressing so much soft skin with their warmth. Ydris focuses on their quality a bit more, is sure they're appealingly plush and pliable, nothing so rigid as a porcelain hardness. Maybe later, for that, if such firmness was called for. As their main body was straddling Azem's hips, they can open her legs beneath that, spreading her legs without pulling her knees far up from the mattress. Just enough that the end of one of those tentacles can slip between the folds of her pussy and rub against her directly]
