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 a wonder why he is even correcting her at the present moment when they are in danger of the otherworldly possessed carrot but it seemed kind of important all for about a second because whatever it was, it decided to pick up speed and head right for them.
And no! He can't run and just abandon her. Although he does take a step back as she readies her iron club. Look, that is actually pretty impressive given her stature and the weapon's size.
As for the carrot, it does get closer, it seems to loom bigger and it utters a single word: ę̷̵̧̖̫̗̆̊ă̶̸̝ͦ͊̿͋͞t̴͕͖͓̀. ]
no subject
[Who would fear a carrot? Even a sentient carrot with a knife. She'll show him, she'll show this stupid carrot, she'll show these stupid, cursed figures! Ah- but it is kind of big, isn't it? Even more so when pitted up against Ibaraki's small frame.
Hm... she might have miscalculated things here just a tiny bit. It's fine though, it's fine! It's just a carrot that wants to eat her. It's fine!
...Okay, that's not fine. But you know what? She's come this far, she may as well keep going along with it. So... yeah Ibaraki will let out a roar and charge towards the monster, swinging that big, heavy club at it!]
no subject
And that very specter has not stopped growing in size. If just a few seconds ago it made Ibaraki appear small by comparison it now completely dwarfs the oni.
As the carrot grows in size, every groove and scar across its orange skin seems to become more pronounced; one particular line becomes deeper, jagged until it isn't just a line but has the appearance of a mouth. From there the same sound reverberates. Before he has a chance to stop the girl takes off, oni though she may be, he still doesn't wish her to be hurt by an oversized vegetable. ]
Miss Ibaraki!
[ Xingqiu follows, of course, attempting to dissuade her from pursuing battle all the while attempting not to look at the carrot.
This is a complete miscalculation on her part really, or at least that is how Xingqiu perceives things. She may get a blow in or two but the carrot is going to use those roots to attempt to snatch that weapon out of her hands and if it gets its grip on it then it would be doubly armed. ]
no subject
She roars and takes a swing with her mighty club of pure iron towards the cursed object! Aiming for its lower half and using the momentum to gear up for yet another swing!]
no subject
Ibaraki's strikes are true. The carrot seems mindless in its intention to eat the two before it so it doesn't attempt to evade her attacks. Struck not once but twice, it seems to break in two around the area she strikes. The two pieces fall to the ground apparently defeat. Xingqiu almost lets out a sigh of relief until he notes that the carrot halves twitch slowly recovering from the oni's brave attack. From where they are broken they are regrowing, so now the single carrot has become two. ]
Don't hit it again! Let's just get out of here!
[ He says that grateful he hadn't gotten a sword because if he managed to overcome queasiness who knows how many carrots would be giving chase now. ]
no subject
Annoying root!
[She does a hop back to avoid getting slashed by the knife. Followed by a strike towards the newly formed carrot.]
Run then, if you wish to run!
no subject
Yet here they are. Two carrots in.
Of course, he won't flee, he simply can't cast his problems onto her. Despite his utter disinterest in work and his tendency to flake out of most jobs, this is where he demonstrates responsibility. As her attacks land blows, the bits of carrots seem to come to life. Soon it isn't two carrots, nor four, or eight but he hopes once they reach a total of sixteen pieces rebuilding themselves is that he hopes she gets the picture. ]
Stop doing the same thing! We really should go. What are you going to wait until there are a thousand carrots for you to fight?
no subject
If I have to! I could go for some steamed carrots anyway.
[Along with some beef and maybe potatoes. The thought alone was enough to get the oni's stomach all a growling! Another dodge and kick is followed. What kind of oni would she be if she backed away from a carrot anyway? Shuten would laugh at her!]
Hmph, perhaps we must devour them in order to defeat them.
[!!!!]
no subject
If only there were only two, even then they're vile. He can hardly keep his gaze on them but he forces himself despite repulsion. It would be dangerous to neglect to keep track of the spectral carrots. Her declaration only leads him to believe she would attempt the same thing over and over — which does really worry him that they may indeed end up with a thousand carrots.
Of course, what she says next doesn't give him time to persuade her to take a different route. Recall, he did say he felt queasy enough to empty the contents of his stomach. He looks a little green, even as he dodges routes and backs off. ]
I am not going to eat a disgusting dirt-covered ghost carrot!
[ Or any carrot in general!
And that's fine because the carrots are here to eat them! They seem to be converging upon them, drooling maws open wide. ]
no subject
[Oh, so they're approaching them now, are they? She rushes forward, her own mouth wide open, sharp fangs flashing dangerously before she goes right on ahead and....
...N O M S]
no subject
Of course, her suggestion had not been taken seriously. In fact, he doesn't believe that she would actually go through with it — until she does because there before him is irrefutable proof that Ibaraki Douji does intend to consume their problems away.
He is going to let her...
He needs to take a couple of steps back...
It almost feels like he can't breathe...
Here it comes. What he warned her about earlier. Look it can't be helped.
At least, her approach seems to be working. But they can't taste all that great and hopefully, her belly isn't haunted later. ]
