September 2022 Mingle!
MAIN NAVIGATION
The influx of fresh Lost Souls means the factions need to have a little welcoming party for them. So some recreational activities are in order. All Lost Souls will receive a message from their respective faction leaders with orders to go have some fun.
Shuten - WEENIES ON PARADE
Shuten Clan newbies will be summoned to the Arena, which has been set up with a very different kind of fight than usual. The members of the Shuten Clan do nothing by half-measures. Partying, drinking, and eating are all encouraged to excess. This time they're inviting new recruits to test their mettle in various eating contests. You'll need nerves of steel and a stomach of iron to succeed. Hot dogs, marshmallows, pizza, lobster rolls, breakfast cereals, rice, and more are all on offer.
See how much you can eat and try not to get sick! Competitive eating is a messy, disgusting affair, regardless of the emergency buckets stationed strategically throughout the building.
If you're feeling especially ballsy, you can take on the biggest onis and other youkai by teaming up with your fellow Shutens. They're all confident enough to take that bet.
Glory, prize money, and antacids to the winners. Shame to the losers – they'll be run through town in weenie costumes.
Better eat up 🙂
Tamamo - ALL NIGHT LONG
The newest Tamamo recruits are summoned to a local gymnasium. Strangely, rather than sports equipment laid out on the court, there are a number of light futons, blankets, and pillows. Everyone will be sorted into one of two yukata patterns – one purple and one blue – and sent to their respective sides of the court to lie down in bed and pull up the covers.
It is then that the referee will explain the rules of competitive pillow fighting. When the whistle blows, jump up and grab one of the authorized pillows at the center of the court. It's a game much like dodgeball, but the goal is to hit the opposing team's king with a pillow from your half of the court. Team members use blankets and sometimes their bodies to protect their king.
There will be a few rounds, and you can rotate who is king at your discretion. Protect them with your life! Or whatever. Star players will receive a bonus and a coupon to one of the best Tamamo spas.
When the competitive stuff is done, the sleepover proper will begin. There will be liquor, sodas, and light snacks for everyone while movies are projected onto a screen late into the morning. The movies range from classic dramas and romances to outrageous yokai comedies.
Sutoku - GROSSERY GANG
The Alliance has found themselves in the possession of an entire truckload's worth of reject children's toys. Ever the opportunist, the Daitengu has assigned the project of inventorying and trashing the particularly offensive ones to the new guys.
Of course, you're expected to play with a few of them as well. Maybe one of them is decently fun, and they could sell the rest, you know? Many of these toys are gross out bathroom humor in nature, and spit water randomly at anyone who loses their round. The Daitengu has thoughtfully provided a selection of alcohol to make this game a little more adult friendly. Toys that lack the appropriate spitting mechanism can still be played over shots, really, go nuts.
While you 'work', there will be plenty of motivating music piped into the warehouse. The sound quality is not great, but they tried?
Everyone who sorts through a decent amount of toys will get a little extra pay, although who is really paying that much attention to who's doing what here?
Credit where it's due: We turned kids toys into drinking games
Enma - BREAKING THE ICE
Welcome to the Department of the Enma. New Lost Soul recruits will be summoned to a large conference room in Kaigo no Bou, which has been outfitted with a variety of buffet table offerings and tables which seat between 5 - 6 people comfortably. You are invited to fill your plates at your discretion, the craft services people are used to feeding bottomless yokai stomachs and the food will not run out.
Clipboards with a variety of icebreaker questions have been provided at each table. The pens have assuredly been firmly affixed to the clipboard. Please return them together.
Every 30 minutes Captain Shiki will blow her whistle to signal that you are to migrate to another table with fresh companions. You are, indeed, being forced to get to know your coworkers, lucky you. This isn't tedious at all.
Pick a few of the questions below to answer, and get chatting. Or Captain Shiki may come over to stare at you with intense disapproval. You can't get away with just zoning out to that sweet smooth jazz playing overhead!
All Factions - THE GIFT OF SONG
Did you all enjoy having some of your wishes granted? Well, so did a flock of those annoying magpie! They asked for the gift of music. These feathered nuisances, however, have fallen in love with an old school metal band. That is all they will be singing for the foreseeable future! Different members of the flock have taken up different instrumentals and vocals for the track, spread out across electrical wires and rooftops, singing their favorite rockin' tune to the skies!
Lost Souls have been asked to please catch them and get them to knock it off, they are truly annoying everyone, across all factions.
Should you catch these musical magpies, and not one of the other clans, they will tell you their sorry tale! They love this band, but the group broke up years ago. All the magpie want is for their favorite old dudes to be reunited to jam with them, one more time!
The old dudes are out there in the city, but who knows why they broke up and if they can even be convinced out of retirement. Good luck, if you succeed your boss will give you a favorable bonus, which would be a great boon to a newbie just getting settled.
In the meantime:

Welcome to the IC mingle!
- If you have any questions about the mingle content, please ask them here! We're trying something a little different to help reduce comment clutter a bit, so that link actually goes back to a header on the Substory post.
- If you have questions about the game itself, please check out the premise, FAQ, and rules pages.
- For Rewards, threads in the mingle will be worth one (1) point!

[ Being a no-star rank tenured Sutoku is...a little weird, sometimes. It affords Tama enough space to do things like text for twenty minutes during the initial discovery of what Sutoku is doing this time, but it doesn't afford him much in the way of answers. Still, he's trying to bop around and be helpful to newer faces. ]
I mean...having everyone get together to laugh about, and then trash some useless stock that can't be sold...that might give the right sort of "vibe" of what the Sutoku Alliance is about.
no subject
[ Kou blinks, a little unsure. ]
But maybe it is the right vibe. I don't know - I'm new. [ He shrugs and offers a little smile. ]
What's your name? I'm Yamori Kou.
no subject
[ He plops down, making a grimace at the toys and huddling his phone closer to himself. ] Ah, Mizumori Tama- I've been here for months now. Sutoku's boss, Daitengu, they...well, they have a sense of humor. But at least this is better than some of the other group things. [ He levels Kou with a deadpan. ] We had to go around and give businesses coupons as an apology, once.
no subject
[ He scratches his chin, the work forgotten for a moment. ]
What were they coupons for?
no subject
[ Tama's glasses all but slide down his nose. ] ...I got a job from one of the businesses I went to appease, but not everyone was so lucky. But with Sutoku, there's always someone who's dissatisfied with how things are run- part of being an 'alliance' than, I dunno, Shuten beating you up for stepping out of line, or whatever.
no subject
[ He shakes his head. ]
Getting beat up for having my own idea of what I want to do... not sure I'd like it over htere.
no subject
[ Tama looks around, brows pinching, as if scoping out any nosing higher-stars. He's of the mind that sharing information is important for the newbies to understand the situation, but uh...some of the higher-ups might not exactly appreciate it. But once he's sure that the coast's clear, he starts back up again. ]
Supposedly, the Enma has called the culprit out as Haniyasu, the twin gods of earth and children of Izanami. The culprits used puppet bodies made from clay during the assassination if I remember right, as well as haniwa filled with curses to plunge the city in to chaos, but...I don't know if I'd trust the Enma's word, either.
no subject
[ He apparently likes to ask questions. ]
no subject
Well, Daitengu originally thought that the Enma was behind the assassination, but it seems like the implication is that Haniyasu wanted that to happen on purpose? It just seems too convenient for another force to be purposefully trying to make the Enma look suspicious, at least to me. [ Tama leans on his elbow and props his chin on his palm. ] The Enma and Daitengu don't get along, much like Toraguma, who leads Shuten doesn't see eye-to-eye with Tenkohime, who runs Tamamo. There's been relative peace lately, though, so nobody wants to risk ruining that...
[ He huffs, and gestures back at the toy stacks. ] And that is why we're doing a bonding thing like this, I think.
no subject
[ He stops working and puts his chin in his hands. ]
If you're trying to send a message, maybe. But... even then...
no subject
[ He resumes fiddling with his phonecharms. ] This is the stuff I wish we talked about with newbies, even before they end up in any faction. We're still united as lost souls first, in my opinion...and information is vital to making informed choices, isn't it?
no subject
[ He frowns. ]
What else do you know about the faction? About Daitengu?
no subject
...because the Daitengu is a 'meme'. [ At least he's not saying it "may-may", but the dry bluntness of that says more than the word. ] Nobody knows their identity or anything about them, I think as an attempt to unify everyone who's under their banner. They joke around a lot, but there's been moments where they get really serious, then go right back to using kaomoji and acting as if they didn't say something threatening. They're that sort of person.
no subject
[ He sighs. ]
Thanks for all the information - and sorry for asking so many questions. Although maybe it's to be expected if I'm brand new? Either way... finding out more about our leader might be worthwhile, you know? Just to see if there's anything worth digging into.
no subject
Especially...ah, I'm so wordy in the first place because I'm just a writer. Not a super-samurai or anything quite so fancy as some of the others around here. [ It's only...a little bit of a lie? Listen he doesn't know what is up with himself still so he's going to operate on shrugs and dreams. ] Maybe I've been trying to review all of this stuff too much...I'm going to sound like my elders if I keep this up.
no subject
[ Kou laughs. Although he's not exactly normal, either. The distraction of a conversation is worthwhile, honestly. ]
I don't mind listening. Especially if you think it'll help in the future. I've got a lot to learn.
no subject
Also, don't feel bad if you have friends in other factions you want to warn about this stuff. I don't even live in Sutoku territory anymore. [ Tama takes a moment, then winces over his own comment. ] M-maybe I shouldn't be saying that as a 'senpai' or whatever...just, do whatever you have to do to be safe.
no subject
[ He shrugs. ]
So I appreciate hearing you speak your mind.
