May 2022 Mini Event
MAIN NAVIGATION
As the Haniwa continue to pop up in the city and the turf war rages on, life goes on in the city.
1. SHUTEN CLAN
Remember the Isonade? Yeah, those guys. The surly shark-dudes who were no doubt involved in some black market smuggling along the banks of the Sanzu. They were too tough to fight off in order to figure out what they were up to, last time.
Well, Toraguma has caught wind of them now. Despite the ongoing turf war, he’s not about to lose out on an opportunity here! He wants his Shuten Clan operatives to scour the river looking for these guys. They will be a lot harder to find without the rabbits’ help, though. If you find them, you are to “inform them” that the Shuten Clan will be taking over their operation. If they have problems with that, well… you know what to do.
Don’t forget that they’re quite strong and that they aren’t too keen on giving up the information on their supply line without a fight. You’ll need to use teamwork to get what you need out of them.
Should you manage your way to their warehouse, you’ll find a fresh shipment of their products: specialized herbs, mineral-rich clay, and rarefied ore. None of these products can be found in the city naturally. The Isonade won’t dare name their primary buyer but they will let slip that all of this is being smuggled into the city from the outer Wastelands.
The Shuten Clan will demand their cut out of this operation, but you may get the impression that this is only one small piece of a much larger shadow creeping over the city…

2. SUTOKU ALLIANCE
The death and subsequent “rebirth” of the Daitengu has caused a considerable amount of chaos. Many of the subsidiary tribes have struggled under the weight of uncertainty during this debacle. The Daitengu has decided that an apology tour is owed. It’s good for the sake of the Alliance, after all.
Oh, but they’re not going to be doing it themselves. You, the Sutoku Lost Souls, will be fully responsible for it. ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა
Sutoku Souls are tasked with going to various businesses and tribe centers with an offering of gifts and deference to any and every group within the Alliance who will agree to meet with you. The gifts have been provided by the Daitengu, and are mainly snacks and coupons. Which will not be enough to please everyone. Some clans will demand more and some, in their rage, will try to take their anger out on you. You are an (lowly) ambassador right now, better to turn the other cheek.
This all boils down to be less of an apology tour and more of a bribe tour. What the Daitengu has provided won’t cover everything and you’re going to have to go out of pocket to truly placate the other clans. If you don’t have enough cash on hand, you may be asked to do various unpaid tasks and labors: washing dishes, scrubbing floors, cleaning windows, taking out the trash, serving kids’ birthday parties; any amount of the lowest work you can imagine.
It’s rough! But somebody’s gotta do it
3. DEPARTMENT OF THE ENMA
The chaos of the Night Parade has caused a resurgence of unaffiliated gangs popping up around Jigokucho. They can usually be found identifying themselves through the use of basic colors and mascots. They are made up almost entirely of violent youths with uncertain futures, who are lashing out at an uncaring world. The antics of the Daitengu, the accusations against the Enma, and the squabbling between Shuten and Tamamo is not inspiring their confidence nor loyalty.
In addition to this problem, the retrieval of the Haniwa is going poorly. Most residents are too uncomfortable to even touch the statues and their appearances don’t seem to be slowing down. There are too many for the Department to collect.
With an abundance of cursed objects in town, the petty gangs have decided this is an ample resource for them. They are using the Haniwa to harass the general public and against one another. They have weaponized the excess Haniwa and are using them as “curse bombs”, hurling them at both each other and the residents they want to intimidate. It’s getting nasty.
It’s the Department’s job to keep the Haniwa figures from falling into the wrong hands and to keep some semblance of order. The official orders from the Office of the Enma are directing all hands to converge against the youth gangs. Use any force necessary and retrieve those figurines.
4. TAMAMO CLAN
How inconvenient! In addition to the complications of the turf war, an extremely important time of the year has arrived for the Tamamo Clan.
It is time for the yearly visit of one of the clan’s greatest benefactors: the Tennin. These Celestial Immortals descend from the Heavenly Realms to spend time (and incredible amounts of money) in Hell’s Playground, Jigokucho. Hell simply offers the sort of delights you just can’t get in Heaven. Due to Tenkohime’s connections with them, the Celestials have had her host them for several years in a row now. She emphasizes how incredibly important it is to keep them happy.
The Celestials want entertainment and delights of every variety. It’s up to the Tamamo Clan’s Lost Souls to entertain them. Your entertainments can take many forms: keeping the Celestials company, putting on a performance, showing off your cooking and skills, tea ceremonies, and other exhibitions. Should you choose the carnal and kinky route for entertainments, know that you won’t be laying down with any Celestials themselves. Oh, no no no, they’re Heavenly, after all! This is still performance, so you may need a partner to help you out.
Keep in mind that the legends are true! The Celestials are deeply deeply fond of peaches. Both literal and metaphorical. 🍑
The Celestials love to chat and gossip, so keeping them entertained is also an excellent way to hear some interesting information. Tamamo artisans will likely learn that many Celestials openly trade with Tenkohime. In fact, the aphrodisiac goods that the Tamamos so famously deal in come, in large part, from the Celestials. Tamamo isn’t the only clan they do business with either. They also have connections within the Sutoku Alliance and are the land owners of several Alliance properties. They are considered one of the primary sources of capital in the real estate market.
Why would the Celestials want properties in a world they literally can’t live in? Doesn’t that just reek of capitalism.
5. TURF WAR (ALL FACTIONS)
The turf war between the Shuten and Tamamo clans is at a simmer right now. Which doesn’t mean that it’s over – not even close. Minor magical traps, similar to those found in the sewer, have been found in Shuten territory. Frustrated Shuten enforcers have been taking out their anger on anyone that so much as looks at them funny. Bars in both districts are regularly getting smashed up. Knife fights are breaking out in the streets. Cars known to belong to members of both clans turn up with slashed tires. There’s even rumors of hits being taken out on higher ranking members.
Watch your step if you’re out and about in either territory. Faction affiliation doesn’t matter when tensions are running high. What’s more, rumors are flying all over about which of the two warring clans is going to be the one to escalate the violence further.
Will tensions boil over at any moment? At what point does the Department of the Enma have to step in? Why haven’t they already?
It’s all getting too much to handle…
6. CURSED OBJECTS (ALL FACTIONS)
The presence of the Haniwa is having increasingly frightening effects. There are whispers about blood coming out of the walls and the floors in apartments, about black ooze pouring from faucets and coming up from storm drains. There are even whispers of terrible household hauntings.
These aren’t just rumors though. Bars are having to close early due to the presence of wailing ghosts inhabiting the toilet or blood pouring from the taps. People run screaming out of alleyways pursued by ghostly hands.
These curses and hauntings seem to be fairly localized; kept to one building or one block at a time. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much rhyme or reason as to when these accursed sightings will take effect.
Be careful out there! Who knows what could happen with so much terrible energy running rampant.

no subject
We have to do our best no matter where we are, I think Aizawa-sensei would expect that of us.
[But even more...]
Maybe we'll go back home better for it.
no subject
[ Do their best. Like these guys know how to do or be anything less than that? Bakugou rolls his eyes.
But the next words that Izuku utters makes him go quiet. The grip on the clothes in Katsuki's hands tighten and fingers still for the briefest of moments over the clothes rack before he peruses further. ]
S'gotta work that way.
no subject
Kacchan? Are you alright?
[Did he catch a moment on Katsuki's face? What was...]
no subject
[ He looks over his shoulder. Back towards Izuku. Katsuki brushes everything off. He has to. Izuku's too damn bright. If he doesn't do what he needs to in order to conceal some of his own emotions? The nerd is going to know. ]
Yeah, perfectly fucking peachy.
[ Well that's a lie. ]
no subject
Kacchan.
[He almost wants to reach out but only awkwardly holds the new clothing in his hands.]
no subject
Just a lot on my mind. There's a lot riding on every damn choice that we make. The shit that we do here could mean opportunities back home.
[ So, again... Bakugou over thinking. ]
no subject
Someone told me that us working here might be a good opportunity for us when we do manage to get back. He said they might be taking advantage of us, but it's not the worst thing to put our back into it, because of that.
[Those contracts.]
no subject
[ Because Katsuki really isn't the type. He doesn't make deals for things that he can achieve for himself. Bakugou isn't the type of person that compromises who he is at the end of the day.
So for him to do something this reckless...
Well it has to be something big, right? ]
no subject
[He knows that even in a place like this that Katsuki will still be Katsuki no matter what the circumstances. Izuku admires him for that. A lot.
He still wants to ask what his contract is...]
I'm just saying. It's going to work out, somehow. It has to.
no subject
[ He shakes his head. Trying to chase away the thoughts for now. Izuku and Katsuki still need to pay for their clothes. ]
C'mon, Izuku. Let's pay for our shit. One step at a time.
no subject
[Izuku follows Katsuki after that. Once they're moving Izuku does catch someone looking at them. A lost spirit that is starting at them with a frown and it makes Izuku suddenly uneasy.
When they go to pay there seems to be a serious judgement look on the cashier's face too. Why are they looking at the two of them like they're strange? Did they do something wrong?]
no subject
Got a problem with our money? M'sure it's good no matter what faction you're in, right?
[ Katsuki is getting tense. ]
no subject
Wh- eh?
[Izuku looks confused as he furrows his eyebrows.]
Because we're in different clans...?
no subject
[ Bakugou scoffs. Drops his clothing on the countertop for it to be rung up. While he doesn't necessarily want to fork over his money now...
Well it's not like any other place will be better, right? Probably going to be like this no matter where they are. ]
Fucking backwards as all hell.
no subject
[He nods to agree with Katsuki. But the cashier seems pretty judgemental anyway and gives a small eye-roll before ringing up the items. Muttering about "enjoy the consequences later" or something like that...]
no subject
[ Because he's stubborn like that. It's not practical but it is what it is. Katsuki needs to be able to do this without giving a part of himself up. A part of himself that he's fought tooth and nail to get back.
He just... Got Izuku back. That friendship, even if he hasn't actually confirmed that or anything. ]
Don't worry though. You can just take our money and mind your business.
no subject
The cashier rings them both up and snaps their bubble gum at them before waving them off. Izuku gives one last look at them before making his purchase and out they go.]
That was something else, I didn't think it would be that much of an issue to talk to other clans... Ne, Kacchan? Do you really mean all of that?
[It was almost like Katsuki was admitting that they're friends and he doesn't care that it might be a problem later.]
no subject
[ So it shouldn't be surprising that they aren't going to be encouraged to maintain their friendships. Bakugou snatches his stuff and might have ended up paying for both of them. Mostly because he just wants to get out of there.
Because he hates... he hates how narrow minded that is. hates that he would have had the same kind of mindset. Hates the fact that he did.
So he's quiet. Even as Izuku asks the question. ]
I ain't into saying shit I don't mean anymore.
no subject
... But Izuku looks off to the side. Looking a little. Happy?]
I can't believe it... Kacchan is admitting we're friends.
no subject
You got a problem with that?
[ He knows it is the opposite. Izuku is tickled fucking pink and he doesn't know what to do with that. ]
no subject
No. No, I'm ... I'm happy to hear it. It's been a while since you... you know.
[Even after all this time, he's never really admitted it. Even in this sort of roundabout way. And after everything that's happened Izuku wasn't even sure how to explain it to other people. But if Katsuki thinks so...]
no subject
[ Since, you know. Katsuki had been so fucking determined not to be friends. For ages. The blonde huffs, rubs the back of his neck as they head out. ]
Don't feel obligated to though.
no subject
It's not an obligation. It's never an obligation.
[He mutters quietly.]
I want to be Kacchan's friend again.
no subject
Izuku's letter... Man part of him wishes that he hadn't ripped the damn thing up. ]
Yeah, I figured. Because you're just like that. Gotta throw it out there anyway.
no subject
Izuku swallows away some nervousness and tries to nod sheepishly.]
Erm, thanks. Then... I don't think we have to worry about what other people think of us being in different clans, either.
