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
Okay, so she's kind of guessing here. Nothing like this system exists at home and even at home she hasn't really seen anything in action, yet. But... )
I think... ( Her words are careful, slow. There's a seriousness about all of it that's a mile away from the sarcasm and prodding she was doing before. ) — Were you reachin' out with your power?
( Her nose wrinkles. She's trying to put the pieces together here, but if she was in the same position, she'd probably just keep trying brute force methods. ) Not tryin' to force it or owt. Like a handshake.
( Except with powers. ) ... That sounds stupid.
no subject
[ Giving it a magic handshake is not the stupidest part of this journey. ]
But yer right. Figured, since I couldn't control it before, what's the point of tryin' again right now?
[ A tired look crosses his face. He should probably get the fuck up and try it again huh. ]
Got any more 5 yen coins?
no subject
Uh. Five yen? She shifts, fishing around in her pocket to toss a coin at him after a quick squint to ensure it's the right kind. )
... Here.
( Catch. She's invested now, let's see how far he can push this. )
no subject
He repeats the process of offering his coin, his claps, his bow, his soft introduction.
Then he tries to focus on just opening up this power, with no particular intention other than to feel the movement of the river. It's still new, it doesn't come naturally. He ends up sitting down in the water, trying to focus and feeling like an inferior version of one of those monks meditating under a waterfall.
But eventually the cool movement of the water snags into something and he feels the energy pulled out of him along with the current. It makes his head spin; a new sensation that he's never needed to process before. What he can feel spreads and spreads through the water until it is genuinely too much. He flops back in the water, overwhelmed and dizzy. ]
no subject
It takes an almost insufferably long time, as a viewer, for anything to happen. But when it does, she straightens up, watching the shifting colours of the river with interest. The flares where it seeps into Majima are muted, her vision calmed by Jigokucho's limitations into something almost pleasant. A subtle filter over a world with far more open power than her own.
But that moment shatters when the dude falls into the water. That's... probably not good. )
Oi.
( She pushes herself up and quickly clears the few steps to the river's edge, crouching down at it. )
Y'good?
no subject
[ He answers blearily. ]
Definitely wasn't ready for that.
[ The snake snickers audibly at him. ]
no subject
Least it worked.
( C'mon old man. You can stand yourself up and get out of the river now. )
no subject
[ He mutters to himself. He does finally haul himself back up, dripping and wet. The shape of his tattoo shows through the plain white fabric of his button-up.
is it time for kate's crisis?He flicks some water off of his hand, tail flicking too. ]
That's enough've that...
no subject
... Well, when you're a teenager, yes. Damn, Majima. Lucky for Kate that she's spent the last few years schooling her face into barely showing any emotion beyond irritation, as the clearing of her throat is far less embarrassing than, say, blushing.
Of course, when confronted with the unfortunately awkward fact of attractive randos, there's only one response worth having:
Sarcasm. )
This your shampoo ad?
( Does hell have Herbal Essences? )
no subject
[ Honestly, he's pretty stupid. He isn't even thinking about it but it sinks in after a moment and he just stares up at the sky. ]
Yeah, yeah. Thanks for th'help.
[ He trudges back over to pick up his shoes. God forbid if those beloved snakeskin shoes has gotten wet!!! ]
no subject
Y'owe me.
( Just sayin'! It was fun but she's not here to do things out of the goodness of her heart.
She's not sure that her heart has any of that left, after all. )
no subject
[ Opportunistic little shit. He wrings out his ponytail to one side. ]
no subject
But Kate's nose wrinkles at the offer. )
Coffee or better.
( She never was a soda person. )
no subject
[ AKA children don't need coffee? ]
All right, c'mon.
[ There is bound to be a vending machine nearby. He pats down his pockets, suddenly remembering that his cigarettes were in there. Great, they're soaked... ]
no subject
( She's sixteen and been drafted into gang wars. Rude. But she does follow... him to a vending machine.
Uh. ) Vending machine coffee?
( N o t i m p r e s s e d. )
no subject
[ He spreads his dripping arms. You get what you get, kid. Also it's a pretty damn fancy vending machine. ]
Hot or cold?
no subject
Fine. ) Hot. Black. No sugar.
( Hopefully it doesn't produce the watery bullshit that she's used to expecting from vending machines. )
no subject
M'Majima, by the way.
[ She knows, he said it to the river. ]
no subject
Aye. Heard you say it before.
( Let's cool down this coffee a touch and try it.
... Huh. )
That's pretty good.
no subject
What's yer name, kid?
no subject
Fine. One more lie it is. )
Charlie.
no subject
[ He asks dryly. Majima's bullshit sniffer is too keen for this, child. ]
no subject
It might be.
( He may have a bullshit sniffer but she is still a brat. )
no subject
[ See you later, youth. ]
