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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Azem lets out a breath as Ydris hand moves along their neck. They shiver, though it looks more akin to them straining against their bindings.

They open their mouth to respond only to close it again, swallowing as Ydris' other hand settles on their hip. After a moment, they try speaking again though their tone is a bit strained. ]

I would like to try while bound.

Very good. [an echo of earlier praise, Ydris' eyes glinting with their own eagerness to indulge. The hand at Azem's hip dips between their legs, fondling the erection from overtop the fabric.

Given Ydris' sense of enjoyment is absorbed from their partner, Azem's wound up state floods them. It's a bit much, but it does prove they did a good job working their partner up. Perhaps too good a job, they turn their head away to puff out some smoke.]

[ Azem muscles strain against the ropes when Ydris finally touches them directly. They can't squirm and arch very much, not with the restraints, but it's clear they enjoy it. Breath hitching for a moment before being let out with a shudder. Their cock twitching beneath the fabric, absolutely desperate for more stimulation.

A breathy chuckle escapes them when they take in Ydris' reaction. ] I do... ah, ever so enjoy that reaction.

Haah, it's... because you're so worked up. Let's get you some relief...

[and, thus, them some relief, because immediately tapping into that state of build up is a bit much. Ydris likes it, of course, their body might not react to arousal, but their magic allows them to feel what their partner is feeling. They did a good job, they can be proud- and they can feel right in paying that... handiwork... off-

Fingers slips beneath fabric and pull it aside, allowing Azem's cock to strain itself free. A short bob into the cool, open air before Ydris wraps their hand around, stroking the length with a slow, firm grasp.]

Whose... ah, fault is that? [ They chuckle again. ] Not that I'm complaining, mmmind you, I'd very much enjoy doing this again.

[ And that's probably the last comprehensive conversation that will come from Azem until after they're done. Because once their cock is released to the cool air it's all they can think about. Their thankful that Ydris doesn't leave them like that for long, taking them in hand and stroking them. Drawing a low moan from the god-like being.

They know what to expect of Ydris now, how methodical they are. Though it might not matter with how worked Azem is. They feel they might not hold out for too long. ]

You like getting tied up, then? [A bemused question, Ydris leaning in towards Azem's ear, the crook of their neck, kissing the soft skin there before speaking low and yet sharp. A hand continues to stroke them off, while the two more appear in their ghostly form, tracking over the ropes. The strands get pushed into Azem's skin as they're followed. The pressure draws in so briefly tighter and more intense, moving across their body in predictable, if tantalizing pattern of the braided bondage. Their hips surely want to bob or squirm, but there's so little room for their agency in the matter. It's all in Ydris' hands. Capable hands, they believe,]

It must be frustrating, not being able to... move much. Or seek out what you want. I'll take care of you, though. You can trust that. [this is, after all, a trusting exercise. It's the key element of eroticism, placing one's self so much at the mercy of a partner. No wonder Ydris likes it, themself, being a god that desires so much to be relied on]

Hah... Yes. [ That's all Azem has to say on that subject right now. They didn't know they'd enjoy it as much as they are now. Everything Ydris is doing is so much more than Azem expected. Sensations all over their body, overwhelming their senses. If their mind had drifted off into a blissful haze before, they were reaching the point of being far gone now.

There is little else Azem can do aside from moan, desperate to squirm but only able to flex against their bindings. Their cock throbbing in Ydris' grip as they draw ever closer to release.

There's an attempt to respond to Ydris' words, taunts really, but it's just a gasp and a groan.

Azem doesn't last much longer after that. Their form stiffens, straining harder at the ropes as they're finally pushed over the edge. A moan, somewhat strangled, as they finally find the release they've desired since the ropes first started to wind tightly around their form. ]

[Ydris strokes Azem to the edge, grasp milking their cock until satisfied. Their form, hunched at the nape of their neck, shivers how Azem can't in their bondage. The distinct smell of smoke escapes their mouth, trailing up Azem's neck, ear, and hair. That's likely to linger, like returning home from a campfire side and realizing just how much the warmth and ash clung on...

A sighing moment follows, allowing that release to get settled in. Ydris tips their head after, giving Azem a slow, relaxed kiss to their lips, breathing in their taste in such afterglow. Breaking that kiss, they can't... think of what to say.

Nothing really needs to be said, it was good, they have a good time together and that's all it needs to be. Their hands float to the center most knot, at Azem's chest, and undo the knot there. The ropes evenly glide loose, allowing hands free from more. The rest can be done after that, the undoing of the braidwork just as meticulous as the doing up of it. Patience, after all, is the purpose of this. Rushing the escape it would spoil the mood... which rests somewhere in the realm of dedicated affection, Ydris still showing utmost care for the process at hand.]

[ For all that Azem enjoys the constraints of the ropes, they do mourn the fact that they can't hold onto Ydris as they ride out their climax. They do enjoy the dragon's closeness, however. It feels nice to have them resting against their shoulder as they too enjoy Azem's orgasm.

Azem hums into the kiss. Relaxed and lazy.

Even as Ydris wordlessly begins to undo the ropes, Azem has nothing to say either. Silence is strange when it comes to the ancient but for once they feel entirely at peace with no quip or anything to say. As the ropes loosen and fall away, Azem shivers and flexes. Bit by bit their mobility is returned to them.

Oh, they most certainly want to do this again. Though while being thoroughly fucked would be nice. ]
