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
[ it's not just kate blurting things out without thinking. and it's the truth. he's tired and today it feels even harder to carry than usual. it all feels so much more complicated ever since he's found out there's a lot more to the world than he ever imagined when he was alive. ]
That's what they do in Chaldea too. Science and magic seem like two halves of the same thing to the people there, but at least they're doing everything they can to make sure they use that kind of power the right way.
no subject
If it was meant for anything good, it wouldn't be locked up in the possession of the military, only leaking out to the population through criminals whose only regard is for the money they can make by selling the promise of being superheroes. )
What's the right way?
( Her voice is quiet, eyes wide and head tipped to one side. She's curious what right means to Ryouma, here. )
no subject
[ plenty of people have questioned ryouma on the foolishness of trying to make hell better, but he's very committed. it's the ideal that he lives by. if anything, it's ingrained in him even more strongly now that he's a servant. those things matter even more when all of your human attachments to the world no longer exist. ]
no subject
Is he really this idealistic? )
... Nowt big, then?
( A wry smile as she says that, blink-and-you'll-miss-it quick. )
no subject
Nah! What can I say? I saw a pretty amazing ship I'd never seen before once and the whole world looked different!
no subject
... That makes no sense. Weirdo.
( I mean, at least there's no malice in the way she says that? )
no subject
[ at least he bounces back quickly? what haunting?? ]
Never seen something and been totally inspired?
no subject
As for that question, though... Well. There's one particular thing in Kate's mind, but the thought comes heavy with ache of things lost and doors closed. )
... No.
( That answer took way too long to come, and is said too sullenly to be a simple truth. )
no subject
[ so there. ]
You're really young! Younger than I was when that happened, I think. [ he's a poor judge of age. ] And I didn't really figure out what I needed to do until a lot later than that. You just have to be willing to keep moving forward.
no subject
At least he seems to have bought it? Which is nice. She doesn't want to explain that the real answer is the first time she watched the Olympics as a kid, the sprinters doing exactly what she loved doing: running. Running and winning.
It hurts to think about that.
So, instead, she asks the question that Ryouma all but invites with that comment. )
... How old d'ya think I am?
no subject
[ oh no, don't put him on the spot. ]
I'm sorta bad at gettin' it right when it comes to foreigners. Plus, you're, well—...
[ he trails off because the last time he made a comment about someone's height he had almost got his ass kicked
thanks hizen.but she's both small and potentially mature than he is?? what's he supposed to do with that?? ]Haha, I'm not very good at this...
no subject
Don't matter.
( Age is just a number and shit like that. And it's not like her birthday isn't in a couple of months anyway. )
no subject
[ he likes to think he has a good sense about this sort of thing. he used to seek out promising people to work with. ]
no subject
Sure.
( Well. Maybe. If she gets this contract fulfilled. Maybe then life will suck less than it currently does at home. )
no subject
[ you have enabled him, kate. ]
no subject
Y'should work as a motivational speaker.
( Kate no don't enable the dork further. )
no subject
[ well, at least she can't make him worse? he's always like this. ]
But nah... I can't sit still. There's people who need help and things to be done. I'd rather use that skill to motivate people to spend their money on the right causes.
no subject
(And yes, the naive, 16 year old part of her would much rather Ryouma was the former than the latter. He's a weirdo, but he's not the worst person to talk to.) )
Guess we better get movin' then. Wouldn't want to keep wasting your time.
( At least he seems to have been distracted from the reason they ended up here in the first place? )
no subject
Honestly, I was just out grabbing a smoke after finishing up inside when whatever happened happened.
[ which he realises he never actually got to have, so he decides to remedy that right now by pulling out another cigarette. when you think about one, you want one!
he's in the process of going to light it when he pauses because he's had a thought. ]
... Y' shouldn't smoke, it's bad for you.
[ she's an impressionable youth??? ]
no subject
Brow. Raise. )
Tastes like shit, too.
( AKA, too late. Though, unlike the man lighting up in front of her, the habit didn't fully sink its claws into Kate. Too nasty on the lungs. )
