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
[Leshy's hand moves forward and points to Harry's front, to where his Shuten lapel pin shone in the light of the candle in front of him.]
That sigil. I would accept that in offering. Would that suffice?
no subject
[ His eyes dart down to catch the sparkling signifier of his clan attached to his coat. On the one hand, Majima would get pissed off if he lost it. On the other hand, he could always lie about *how* he lost it. ]
Ok, I accept.
[ He carefully pops out the pin between his fingers and sets it on the table, the light of the candle making it shine a little brighter. ]
no subject
[Leshy flips some cards out onto the table. Two face down to Harry, two face down on his side. The scrybe explains the simple game of chance.]
That is your hand. Keep it for emergencies.
[he puts two more cards out, these sitting mid way between them]
Choose which you believe to be higher and flip it over in front of you. I will flip the other. Whoever has the higher value wins the round. Best of three. [to add just a little strategy, because it is nothing if it is only a guessing game]
Once per round, we each may swap any card with one from our hand. We keep the card that is swapped, for the next round. Now choose to start.
no subject
[ He taps the card on his left in the middle. ]
no subject
[simple as that, Leshy moves the card Harry chose in front of him and then moves the other to in front of themself. Flipping them both over, Harry has a 3 of hearts, Leshy has a 4 of spades.]
Suit does not matter, only the number value. We'll keep Aces high. You lose this round unless you swap. Do you?
no subject
No. I'll accept the loss.
no subject
The score is one in my favor. Choose.
no subject
COMPOSURE - It could be a ruse to make you overthink. ]
Left again.
[ He taps the card on his left side. ]
no subject
Do you swap?
no subject
ENDURANCE - Live to fight another day! ]
No swap. I win this round, unless you have an ace to match?
no subject
[Leshy swaps Harry's ace with their four.
He said swap any card.]
You are two down.
[he flips new cards out. Whichever Harry chooses it, Leshy flips equal numbers on different suits; Queen of Diamonds versus Queen of Spades.]
I believe I have you, here.
no subject
[ RHETORIC - Semantics! You didn't pick up on the wordplay.
HALF LIGHT - He fucking played you like a fiddle. Take out his eye. ]
no subject
[Leshy will play through his victory, not calling it before Harry passes his turn or makes his move. He would need an ace to match what he knows Leshy has in his hand, because swapping either Queen will pull that out as a response.
He could tie with an ace only. Leshy won't call his own victory too soon.]
no subject
HALF LIGHT - Look at that satisfied look on his face. He baited you and you took it, a little rabbit in the field snatched by the metal claws of death. This will not be forgiven. ]
Just take my pin. You know you've won.
no subject
[Leshy flips the cards, moving them around in the proper way to secure his win. He is going to finish the game out. It's his win, even if Harry is a sore loser.
He would have been much more sore in another circumstance,]
How fortunate you did not bet your ear. [he reaches and takes the pin. He lifts it to his mouth, where he taps it with his jagged teeth.
Dagnabbit, twas only tin!!
Not that that is where it's value likely lies.]
Though we could play another round, with you all the wiser... if you'll risk such stakes against me.
no subject
[ Was it a "fair" game? In the quantifiable sense that neither of them cheated the rules, yes. In spirit, this was bullshit and they both know it. He sees that smug satisfied look and knows he got baited. Next time he'll have to be wiser. For now, he'll have to avoid Majima so he doesn't get called out for not having his pin.
He slides off his seat and shoots Leshy a dirty look. ]
I have to ask: what's the deal? What would you even do with my ear?
no subject
[Tough shit, buddy... Leshy doesn't pull punches after a loss. Maybe before one, maybe while someone is learning a game... but not someone who would best him in the past. He has learned what going easy on his challengers can lead to.]
A tooth, an ear, a finger... the trophy matters little. The point is that it hurts you to lose. Pain is the only lesson some learn from.
[something like a breathless, hollow laugh]
The damage done to your pride will have to do. You don't hide that well.
no subject
AUTHORITY - You have no power over him. Not in his domain.
HALF LIGHT - You are going snuff the light out of his eyes one day and it will be *enjoyable*. ]
Ok, you're a sadist, maybe even a masochist. Cool. Go to a sex club and hire a prostitute like a normal person. Make them play your games for your sick kicks.
no subject
[also, Leshy is Tamamo Clan... he's not supposed to hunt within his own ranks. While he'd be rid of Tenkohime at the very first chance he got, he respects her enough to know that opportunity will not come soon. He needs to create the moment to seize power.
For now, he'll play his games and wait.]
Men like you will always play such games. You cannot resist the thrill.
no subject
HAND/EYE COORDINATION - Shame it's card games with him. How about russian roulette?
VOLITION - How about you leave without letting him rile you up? ]
I'm resisting your *ass* and leaving. Good bye, asshole.
[ And yes, he *is* throwing up both birds as he backs out of the tent. ]
