July 2022 Mini Event
MAIN NAVIGATION
Tanabata is on the horizon, and the city seems to be recovering well from last month. But there's work to be done, and it's time to get to it...
1. SHUTEN CLAN - THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS
With construction wrapping up, the new Shuten Clan casino will be opening soon. The casino has a number of new staff positions opening. It is a golden opportunity for anyone looking for a cash rich position. The money promised upon assignment to the underground casino is bound to be life-changing. Given the potentials in clientele, Toraguma is expecting the very best. Shutens are to report to the above ground Celestial Phoenix casino for their training.
They will be taught all the traditional casino fare, both Japanese and abroad. This includes being taught how to cheat at these games as well. For example:That's not all the Shutens will be learning. The clan needs skilled bouncers as well: people who can handle rowdy customers or haughty celestials. The more tenured Shutens will take up the roles of rude customers and challenge the trainees in how to handle them.
- Blackjack dealers will learn card count, and how to catch others doing the same.
- Roulette attendants will learn both how and when to discreetly adjust the wheel.
- Craps and Cee-lo dealers will learn how to feel for loaded dice and how to switch in the house's dice without notice.
- Cee-lo dealers are also taught a specific way to line the dice tray to cause more lost throws.
- Cho-Han dealers will learn how to distract players as they adjust the dice.
While not everyone will receive employment in the casino, they are all expected to participate in training. Shuten officers are expected to guide and oversee their juniors.
2. TAMAMO CLAN - CHARM SCHOOL
The Tamamo Clan also has preparations to make in anticipation of the underground's opening. The clan is opening their own brothel and cabaret, as well as providing food and drink services to the new Shuten casino.
All Tamamo Clan members must report for training at Mizukume. The lesson of the day is to use one's charisma to secure a huge payout. For example:Each role comes with its own set of pressures, but also the promise of great reward. Everyone is going to get rich, if everyone plays their part well.
- Hosts and hostesses will learn the art of schmoozing away clients' money.
- Performers will learn more provocative means of soliciting large tips.
- Oiran are taught the erotic arts; the perfect balance to both please a client, and how to leave them begging (and paying) for more. There's no technique Tenkohime finds too shameful. Money is power, and power is freedom.
- Food service workers are provided master classes in mixology, plating, and how to serve high-profile clients without breaking a sweat.
Tenured Tamamo are asked to roleplay as clients for the benefit of those Lost Souls new to the work. While not everyone will be selected to work in the Underground, everyone is expected to train for it.
3. SUTOKU ALLIANCE - BLACK MARKETS AND BACK ALLEYS
After months of meetings, it's finally time for some real action. Sutoku Lieutenant Ryouma Sakamoto has made some pretty big commitments on the Alliance's behalf. His temerity comes from his earnest belief in the other Sutoku Lost Souls! No pressure, though!
To succeed, the Alliance must determine who is behind the current black market operation. Ryouma is relying on the Alliance's extensive information network and the hard work of the Lost Souls to make it happen.
This is the work that Ryouma mentioned when he welcomed the new arrivals recently.
This assignment is all about what you know. The Sutoku need to learn more about the competition, through any means necessary. The Alliance wants to know everything about what goods are moving around the city and who is moving it. Time to follow the money. You might even discover an unfulfilled niche in the market through your investigations.
The current influx of Stardust in the city is a great opportunity to investigate the existing dealers and supply lines. The Alliance is gathering Stardust just like everyone else, but it is becoming increasingly scarce as the factions vie for it. The value of this commodity is shooting up every day. Take some cash or other compelling bartering tools with you to grease the palms of a few shady dealers. Try to convince them to be more honest about their supply lines, beyond just the sparkly stuff. Stick the landing, and you might just be closing in on the heart of those shipping loopholes.
This is no easy undertaking. Creativity and tenacity will determine just how far you can go. Be careful not to be too obvious, the threat of unwanted attention will cause your sources to clam up.
4. DEPARTMENT OF THE ENMA - CRACK DOWNS
The Stardust's street presence has shifted naturally over the past few weeks: from an easy resource to simply scoop up in garbage bags overnight to a hot commodity. The street value of the material has increased considerably, and that means that the unaffiliated street gangs are greedy to get in on the action.
Enma officers are called upon to round up any black market dealers of Stardust and confiscate as much of their supply as they can find. This might just bring them into some direct conflict with the Sutoku Alliance members hoping to connect with market insiders. That's just how things boil out sometimes, though.
It is more important to the Department to get Stardust out of the hands of the black marketeers… and into their own lockers.
Officers are given permission to use any amount of force against individual actors, and members of the Law and Records Department are expected to draft up warrants (no matter how doctored) to obtain access to buildings they otherwise would never be allowed into; even Mizukume and the Arena. The Department's orders are clear: if it's not an approved market, shut it down.
This is in the name of maintaining Order, so get out there. Move at least in pairs, or you're likely to meet some serious resistance, and keep an eye out for the newbies.
5. ALL FACTIONS - LUNAR RABBIT RETURNS
It isn't just the factions, dealers, and petty gangs who are interested in the Stardust now that it's a premium item.
A familiar face has resurfaced: the mysterious gyokuto medicine woman and her army of white rabbits. While her little kin have managed to gather a healthy amount of Stardust for her "research", she still needs more. She is willing to pay a huge premium to those who retrieve more materials for her.
She understands that this will require you to either pilfer from one of the factions, or potentially someone even more dangerous. She will be providing samples of one of her drugs, which can grant temporary invisibility in moonlight. Use it for whatever hijinks you want, but she really would prefer if you brought her the goods in the end.
If invisibility doesn't cut if for you, she can provide another sample that provides 10 times your normal strength. While you can KO anyone who gets in your way, it wears off within 5 to 10 seconds. She is very clear that you should not take more than 3 doses of this, or you will very possibly die. Probably. Maybe? It will be unpleasant. So use it only when you need to.
The reward for getting her some Stardust, depending on the amount, can easily pay all a character's expenses for a month, if not longer. The temptation is great, but do you trust this strange rabbit woman?

no subject
Uh uh uh. The customer is always right. And besides, have you actually had Triple Sec? It's awful. Blech. Oranges.
no subject
[ She would be terrible upscale waitstaff, clearly. ]
Order it off the specials or get out of my sight.
no subject
[There was the sweetest look in the way that she said it, just grinning over at her with the most shit-eating little smile imaginable. She leaned forward to wink at her.]
After all, you have to learn how to make the drinks, riiiiight?
[someone really needed to wipe that grin off her face.]
no subject
[ Anna decides bluntly. The one person she doesn't want to deal with right now is Musashi, thanks. So she just motions impatiently, ]
Tell it to me again then.
no subject
I want a long island iced tea, but change out the triple sec and use that blue caracao stuff. And, uh, use a sprite. not those dark colas. [A grin and she winked at her.] And I know I'm a shit, but trust me. You'll have even worse shits if you're behind a bar one of these days.
no subject
[ But she gets to work anyway. It's the drink that has no tea, but is meant to look like tea. Anna knows the measurements. The girl wants it blue, and she wants the light colored sugar water. ]
Isn't even the same drink like this.
[ She shakes it. ]
no subject
[She watched while the drink was being made. seriously, she enjoyed moments like this way too much to stay entirely in character, even though asking for an atrociously blue drink was not out of character.]
Well, I mean, yeah. But I don't actually like Long Island Iced Teas. So, the blue stuff tastes better. Because it's blue.
[Scientific.]
no subject
She pours out the liquors: blue. Then she adds the soda. Garnishes with a straw and a little umbrella. ]
No tea, no island, just blue.
[ She mutters this dryly in her soft brogue as she pushes the drink across the bartop. ]
no subject
Blue and it tastes good too! Oh, right. Since you did the order, I don't think we've actually met have we? Name's Tenshi.
no subject
[ Anna is not one of the ranked members, but she is the representative who went with Toraguma, Cloud, and the others down into the Tower's basement. Despite her sour attitude, she has a lot of mettle that the foxes are only just beginning to respect. When she arrived in bloody armor and reeking of death, she had not made the best first impression. ]
no subject
Good to meet you. Hopefully we're not going to be putting you to work behind a bar most of the time. Neither of us actually. [Sip] But this isn't bad.
no subject
Work in the armory. Repairing weapons and armor, doing small crafts for seals and pouches, doing inventory. Best work for me, but they have to trot us out for inspection every now and then, don't they?
[ Her tone conveys a dry awareness of faction politics. She used to be proud to trot out for the Hunters, but that's certainly changed. ]
no subject
With us, it's just for the inspections, unless we're in a pinch or someone specifically asks, I guess. Not so bad. I get to beat up drunks. Win win.
no subject
[ She and Musashi do not see eye to eye on what exactly Anna should and should not do. Anna is not particularly interested in the woman's opinion, on much of anything. ]
I've work to do.
no subject
[She definitely didn't mind Musashi the way Anna did, but she also didn't mind keeping a few secrets here and there. She had a few of her own after all.]
no subject
That'll do then.
no subject
See ya around, Anna.
