May 2022 IC Mingle
MAIN NAVIGATION
1. WELCOMING COMMITTEE
The influx of fresh Lost Souls means the factions need to have a little welcoming party for them. The leaders realize things have been chaotic in the city. So some recreational activities are in order. All Lost Souls will receive a message from their respective faction leaders with orders to go have some fun.
The Shuten Clan are given an advance on their first paycheck and told to go to the Celestial Phoenix Casino. A big sign on the half boarded up door proudly proclaims UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT. What happened to the old management? It doesn't matter and stop asking questions! The important part is that all games and machines are half-price and there are special prizes available in exchange for your chips and tokens. Games range from the traditional Western style (poker, roulette, slots) to Japanese favorites (cee-lo, koi koi, cho-han).
As for prizes, they have a selection of designer goods, including some particularly nice bracelets, necklaces, and watches!
The Tamamo Clan are given a considerable number of drink vouchers for Crimson Moon Karaoke, where they can sing their hearts out and while absolutely smashed. Private rooms are cheap to rent and they even offer a special discount for groups of two or more. The karaoke machines have any songs you could possibly want, which is a little suspicious, but don't question it! Just get drunk and have fun. By all means, extend your time as you wish and drink up to get in the proper mood. This is an important bonding opportunity.
Oh yeah, as an important note: the rooms are soundproof. You can get as loud as you like, be it with singing or... something else. Don’t do anything Tenko-hime wouldn’t do!
Members of The Sutoku Alliance are given tickets to Fiance of the Funeral Procession at the Pluto Theatre and Cafe. The tickets include free food at the cafe, including beer. Sure, the star may not be a Sutoku member but that doesn't matter too much: getting butts into seats at Sutoku-owned theaters is what’s important. The Daitengu rented the theater out for the day, so there is plenty of time to mill around both before and after the show.
Make a day, or night, of it!
A funeral-based romantic comedy melodrama as the viewing fare is probably a tasteless joke on the Daitengu's part. But hey, y'all aren't still mad that they crashed their own funeral and then took off laughing, right?
Right?
The Department of the Enma members are told that they're going to be doing a team-building exercise. What exactly does that mean? That's right, it's community cleanup time! You get to clean up cans and trash in the street! You get the honor of using a department-issued bike with an attached cart to wheel around the city and pick up trash! How exciting! Teamwork is encouraged, of course. Teams that collect enough garbage will get one (1) voucher for mini-golf.
Please be aware of the local homeless population as you work, they won’t be happy to see you. They normally collect the cans in the mornings as a meager source of income that you’ll be dipping into. They're probably just not happy with Enma officials in general though. Sorry!
2. IT'S RAINING, IT'S POURING...
By the time you're done with your faction-sponsored fun, the sky has decided to open up. Hope you brought your umbrella! The rain is bad enough that walking home might not be an option right now. So take refuge in one of the many nearby nightlife spots.
Not in your faction's home territory? Doesn't matter! Make some friends outside your group or maybe get into a fight and cause some trouble. There's always the third option of ignoring everyone and drinking yourself silly instead! The rain has to let up eventually… right?
Hopefully you aren't caught near one of the cursed Haniwa figures that have been popping up around town. Their aura really dampens the mood and may even start to cause some dramatic and frightening hallucinations if you and your rain-stranded friends stay near them for too long. But remember! Do not break the figurine. Just try to move it somewhere else? And hopefully not get drenched in the process.

no subject
[The... bird-person? Sitting next to him wasn't really addressing him, but they're close enough Cloud can overhear. He gestures a bit at the screen as he glances Fumikage's way.]
Feels like if they thought about it, they could have dealt with everything twenty minutes ago.
no subject
[He sighs, shaking his head.]
It was a free ticket, but even I feel cheated.
no subject
[Still, it's better than new productions of Loveless...]
I heard the new folk under the Enma are on trash duty as a 'team-building' exercise.
[When in doubt for a conversation point, shit-talk the other factions.]
no subject
In a way, I wonder which is more painful.
[Which might just go to show how mediocre this film is.]
Still, I suppose given alternatives, this is the lesser of two evils.
no subject
[Which is... clearly what they're doing now. But shh.]
Guessing we're both in the same boat of being new.
no subject
[Well, that's why he's talking rather than paying attention.]
You are correct. I only recently arrived here not long ago.
no subject
[And if they did? Well, Cloud doesn't exactly care.]
Same here. I've only recently gotten my bearings. Cloud. [If they're gonna be working together, might as well introduce himself.]
no subject
[And a quick glance around proves he's not the only one who thinks so.]
It is nice to meet you. I am Tokoyami Fumikage.
[And beside him, a shadowy figure peeks over Fumikage's shoulder. Fumikage doesn't seem particularly perturbed by it.]
I'm Dark Shadow!
i'm crying i was wondering when this would happen, thank you
[Cloud nearly jumps out of his seat in the theater, you see his hand reaching back over his shoulder to something that isn't there - a motion that, awkwardly, turns into him grabbing at his shoulder. It's... well, it's safe to say he wasn't expecting that at all.]
N-nice to meet you... two...? Tokoyami, your shadow is...?
[Bro is your shadow talking to you???]
LOL glad to be of service!
Yes, he is. Allow me to introduce my Quirk, Dark Shadow. The dim lights in here allow him to manifest easier.
no subject
A... 'Quirk'? You'll have to explain that one to me. You mean it's not magic?
[He does seem at least... curious to understand this. You just have a dude hanging out in your Shadow? And that's not magic?]
no subject
[Dark Shadow may look scary, but he's quite nice! At least, when he's small like this. Fumikage shakes his head.]
No, Dark Shadow is not made of magic, though he looks like a beast from the abyss. In my world, most humans have what is called a Quirk; a superhuman ability that is unique to them. It manifests in various ways for different people; for me, my Quirk manifested as Dark Shadow. He is a being bound to me, and in turn grants me his power when I need him. I have had him in my life since I was a young child, and I consider him an extension of myself.
no subject
[He gives a small and quiet 'huh' as Tokoyami explains, shaking his head in disbelief. He's got to admit, it's pretty impressive.]
Must be nice having a partner who has your back, at least. Literally.
I'm guessing you've needed to fight together more often than not?
no subject
[Fumikage says it with a bit of a smile on his face. Dark Shadow visibly preens.]
I’m one of a kind!!
[At Cloud’s question, Fumikage nods.]
That’s right. I am training to be a pro hero, which means training both myself and Dark Shadow to defend ourselves against villains. It is reassuring to myself, and a surprise to my enemies for them to realize that I am two in one.
[He pauses and gives a loud a curious look.]
But now I must ask… you mentioned magic. Does that mean your world possesses magic?
no subject
Yeah, in a way. People aren't born magical, or with special abilities, like you and Shadow. We have... well, materia. They're little crystaline spheres full of magic potential. Like being able to heal wounds, or throw fire.
You have to have specialized equipment to slot them into - weapons, wristguards, that sort of thing. But once you do, you can use that magic, without any issue.
[He sort of turns away from Tokoyami, staring at the screen without processing the movie.] Materia aren't exactly easy to come by, though - specialized vendors might only have a few types, and general shops will likely only have one, if you're lucky. And a lot of it all goes back to one company.
no subject
[Fumikage doesn't say it in a dismissive way. In fact, he seems quite interested in it!]
And do you have some of these magical crystals?
no subject
Not on me. I had some before I came here, but they're gone - sword, too. They seemed keen to start me from square one.
[ Which is frustrating, naturally. Fumikage probably understands the sentiment. ]
If I come across one here, I'll show you. Though they're no more fantasy to me then the energy they use to keep the lights in the city on.
no subject
[He's a bit of a nerd, he likes swords! But he nods in understanding, crossing his arms.]
I can understand the sentiment. Since coming here, I have found Dark Shadow's abilities frustratingly stifled. It is like when I was first trying to wield him.
If you do, I would be happy to see it. Being able to bear witness to a crystal of power would be a fascinating sight to behold.
no subject
If I ever get either back, I'll make sure to let you know. Seems like it'd be something a lot of people would be interested in, at any rate.
no subject
[He means it as a compliment.]
Well, I cannot speak for everyone, but in my world, it is uncommon for people to fight using swords or magic crystals. So I could understand people's fascination with them. In any case, I'll be waiting to see them.
