July 2022 IC Mingle
MAIN NAVIGATION
1. ITADAKIMASU!
After the harrowing incidents involving the curse last month, unity is the theme for welcoming the new influx of Lost Souls. The factions are still busy with cleanup efforts and making sure their personnel are in fighting shape. What’s more, most of the usual spots that would play host to the factions’ parties are either closed until they’re repaired, or in no state to be hosting parties that big.
Thus, an agreement has been reached. All of the factions will hold their mingles together and host a food truck/yatai festival in the blocks surrounding Theater Square, in the Sutoku Alliance’s territory. This gets money into the hands of the local vendors, and allows the community to spend time together in relative peace. It’s still Jigokucho, there are punks prowling to start fights and steal wallets, like they always are, but it’s a breath of fresh air after everything that’s been happening lately. Just keep your wits about you and enjoy the food. Takoyaki is one of the most popular items and competition between the carts motivates chefs to make them flair and style!
Kushiten, yakitori, dango, croquettes, senbei, onigiri, yakisoba, taiyaki, you name it, it’s probably represented here in some form. There are even any number of your favorite treats from home, even if your home isn’t Earth. It might take a little poking around to find them, but isn’t that part of the delight of exploring a city’s food?
The falling Stardust has made its way into the food as well. You may notice that some vendors are grinding up the glowing stellar fragments and putting them into the food itself as a spice. Are… you supposed to eat that?! Oh well! When it’s time to party, you can’t go wrong with a little Stardust.
2. MUSIC GOT ME FEELIN SO FREE
In the center of Theater Square, surrounded on all sides by the many colorful food stalls, they’ve set up a stage for local artists to perform on. There are a great variety of acts who come and go to play a few songs. The music reaches all throughout the square and may be little more than background noise, until just the right tune catches your ear.
- Jenny – This all-girls story of hidden love should be hitting all the ladies in the crowd a certain kind of way. Have you been admiring a friend or coworker and just never taken the plunge? Now’s the time for that kiss, the music is playing.
- KONNANじゃないっ – This sweet idol bop about striding bravely towards your best future fills you with inspiration and hope for the future. You may feel compelled to bring your hopes and dreams into every conversation. The future is bright!
- Running Up That Hill – As the singer performs some kind of interpretive dance, she sings about her frustrations with never truly being able to see from another person’s perspective. What would you do to show your true self? Maybe it’s time to iron out that ongoing misunderstanding you’ve been circling.
- Love Warriors – A simple act with a guitarist and singer, she sings a mellow piece about the true value of love. What a beautiful message. Your heart might begin to overflow with feelings of care and affection. Will you finally spill those all-important three words? I-love-you.
- One More Time – The last act of the evening is lively, colored lights flashing out across the square. They begin to play an impossibly catchy beat that no one can resist dancing too. Dance like no one is watching and enjoy the sweet catharsis of a good dance session. You’ll feel better for it tomorrow.
(Players are more than welcome to use their own song and effect. 💖)
3. BIRD BOMBS
At some point during the festivities, the Daitengu takes the stage. They’re in exceptionally high spirits. They give a shout-out to Toraguma and Tenkohime for helping to make this happen. As usual, The Enma is not present. However, the Daitengu forgoes any snide remarks, although they do seem a bit let down. Hope springs eternal, one supposes.
Next they would like to announce that they have even more reasons to celebrate: a truce has been declared between the Shuten and Tamamo clans. The war for the Underground is over (for now) and new construction has started on a new casino and adult entertainment complex in the once-contested territory. They hope that this will lead to an ongoing era of financial cooperation between the three factions.
They thank Sakamoto Ryouma for making all of this happen and give him a shoutout in the crowd. Word has spread all over the Alliance about their deeds, and what they managed to pull off; a blessing and a curse. It becomes obvious that not every tribe within the Sutoku Alliance was okay with putting the Alliance itself up as collateral to make this happen. The Kasasagi Tengu Tribe, in particular, has decided to let their protest be known by storming the party in a flood of aggressive magpies. They vulture the food, they pick at jewelry, they’re an absolute menace.
Good luck shooing them away. The vibes are counting on you to deal with these feathered buzzkills.

no subject
Are you talking to me? I wasn't planning-ow-on it! This jerk has my earrings!
no subject
Yeah, I was. Just keep holding onto it and I'll see if I can get them back.
[ He watches the magpie's movements in Cain's hands while it's trying to struggle free, before he suddenly reaches up to grab it by its neck, forcing it to squawk very loudly, then catching the earrings with his free hand.]
no subject
Not of course, before divebombing Cain and Skylark a couple more times in retaliation. After the thing had left for the rooftops, he finally peered out from under his raised arms.]
Did you see where my earrings went?
no subject
At this point, Cain's reaction has told Skylark that there was definitely something up if he couldn't see that he had the earrings. ]
Ah, I have them. Here.
[ He reaches over to pass the earrings over into Cain's hand. ]
no subject
However, the problem remained that despite his savior handing over his earrings, he couldn't actually see where they were. Cain is looking, but he's looking in the very not right direction to where Skylark was putting his hands.]
I...um, thanks. But do you think you can touch my hand first?
no subject
Alright.
[ He reaches over to grab hold of Cain's hand, though he won't hold on for long. ]
no subject
Sorry about that-thanks for the help with that guy. I definitely owe you a favor in return.
[Maybe he shouldn't be putting the earrings back on, but he is. Because he's dumb. And now he was bowing, hand on his chest.]
My name is Cain Knightley, sergeant of the Enma division. I don't think I've seen you around yet.
no subject
Another person with odd eyes, huh.So Skylark wasn't just imagining it; this guy really couldn't see him just now. Strange...Seeing Cain bow however, Skylark bows back. It felt too rude otherwise. ]
It's not really a big deal, I just thought it'd be pretty lame if your belongings got stolen by birds, of all things—should you really be putting them back on?
[ Sir what if the magpies come back for a revenge match??? ]
Oh, and...I'm Gracious Skylark, and I work for the Shuten clan.
no subject
Still, like I said-I definitely owe you one. A drink, or-huh? I mean, it would be a shame not to wear them after I got them.
[And there they were, back on his ears again. He is in fact, stupid as Skylark shall discover.]
Oh, it's always cool to meet people from other divisions. How do you like it so far?
1/2
[ He'll just keep an eye out in case any magpies come back for Round 2, then... ]
no subject
[ He might have internal screamed a bit that he ended up in Hell (but apparently not Malfeas? He isn't sure how this works?) and there are crime families down here, but no need to mention that. ]
no subject
[Seeing as how he sometimes throws down with them for fun.]
no subject
[ That's why he's not sure how he ended up there? He doesn't consider himself particularly good at fighting, or even strictly someone who particularly wants to. ]
Keeping the peace, though?
no subject
Yeah. I am-well was a the former general of the Central knights, so we were tasked with similar things to the Enma department. Though we had much less scope...and less various threats to deal with.
[He's not a stranger to political movement and monster attacks, but there had never been so much of it concentrated in one place.]
no subject
Hmmm. So something like military, Skylark guesses? Cain didn't really strike him as the type, but then again there's something to be said about books and covers. ]
Threats like what?
no subject
[And they happened more in the edges of the kingdom too. However, there was still the political landscape to think of.]
There has also been some rising tensions between use and the West country, but I really hope it doesn't come to that. What about you, though? Do you have any experience with these things?
no subject
Uhm, not so much "magical beasts", but turf wars aren't rare back home. And it's always tense with the mainland, but it's not as if we've ever liked them anyway so that's just business as usual...
What's the "Great Calamity"?
no subject
[He was now looking quite serious in his expression. Remembering the lives lost and how he couldn't help them was always going to take a toll on him. But, he couldn't let it drag other people around him down.]
Sorry about that. Suffice to say that I've got experience, but nothing on this level of complexity. You too then, it looks like. I'm afraid I don't know as many people in the Shuten area, though. Most of my companions are part of the Tamamo clan.
no subject
Gods, that's such a concept to have to wrap his mind around. But Cain looks so serious when talking about it that Skylark feels like he can't make light of it either.
He won't say much about how much experience he does or doesn't have, because at this point Skylark doesn't feel like he can really say for sure one way or the other. Is it experience when sometimes it seems you just fumble your way through things and try to make good judgment calls (and at some point probably fail that)? ]
Haven't had the chance to meet many?
