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:

[ it is very difficult for crow not to spot the futon wiggling across the room. he’s keeping an eye out for any surprise attacks that might be coming his way and— well. this one is notable. not that it’s really an attack.

he hops down from his perch, pillow still in hand and just follows the mysterious lump as it sluggishly makes a break for freedom. the futon might feel the vibration of footsteps behind it, but they aren’t rushing or making any suddenly movements towards it. it’s only when it stops that crow does speed up.

only so he can whap the mysterious futon creature with a pillow while they are defenceless. ]


Point to me.

[ Sen pokes his head out from under the futon. ]

I'm on your team!

[ Apparently, he's acting as very distracting bait and is using the futon as a shield of some sorts, but it's too hot under it. Help. ]
chevaliered: (272)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-14 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ......


he baps him with a pillow again. ]


Point to me again.

Wh—

[ pomf. Sen just wants to play dead already, but he doesn't like how Crow did that, so. ]

You are such a rascal

[ Sen gets up and tries to throw the futon over at Crow to make it devour him completely. It won't be a good attempt, but it's an attempt. ]
chevaliered: SNOW HOLY FUCK (285)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-15 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Rascal?

[ help, he’ll be called a rapscallion next. the blanket makes a valiant effort to smother crow in revenge, but all it manages is to smack his shoulder and sllliiiiiddddeeee off it almost a little depressingly.

an attempt was made.





crow just aims another pillow. ]

[ Sen lets out a very undignified shriek before holding up the futon... and dropping it. Too heavy for him. ]

This is bullying—

[ ... ... ...

Then it clicks.
]

Wait, you're the crow that was too scared to tell me how he looked like!
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (006)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-15 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sen this is one of the saddest things he's seen. do you have anti-muscles? negative muscles? the futuon won.... the futon won. ]

...

[ huh ]

Oh. You're the guy who couldn't use the app.
reifies: (pic#15812342)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-16 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
I can use it now!

[ He thinks it's so weird that it's called an app, but that's neither here nor there. His arms are tired. Upon inspection, Sen is absolutely a stick of a human—people can even tell over that yukata of his. Sen is a weak ass human. ]

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-17 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you want a round of applause?

[ he does not give one. but he does look amused. ]
reifies: (pic#15812350)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-17 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No, you smarmy brat.

[ Sen is also a brat... it's fine. He takes this chance to try and throw the futon over Crow in an attempt to tackle him when he can't see(????). ]
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (046)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-18 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh. Been a while since someone called me a brat.

[ he'll allow sen the attempt. it doesn't take a lot to lift up the futuon and get a good view of what's going on though. what now sen? ]
reifies: (pic#15812324)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-18 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It just looks like he's hugging Crow instead of his initial intent of tackling him. He has the raging force of a noodle. ]

... Why are you so heavy?

[ Clearly, that must be why Crow isn't falling over. ]
chevaliered: (182)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-18 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a limp noodle. ]

Why are you so light?

[ yeah. well he's definitely built sturdy. falcom said everyone in class vii's model had to have six packs and now i have to curse everyone with this knowledge. ]
reifies: (pic#15812326)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-19 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ you can wash clothes on those abs...

Sen doesn't bother answering his question and just keeps trying to shove Crow to the ground. He's bad at this and looks like he's immensely tired already.
]
chevaliered: pixiv ID 20762057 (004)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-19 09:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ (falcom voice) six pack rights.


crow just stands there. 🧍]


… You good there, or?
reifies: (pic#15812336)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-19 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sen wheezes and stops. ]

You... wall-man.

[ ... ]

Wall-man that can't tell ally from foe!

[ Yeah, he's done. ]
chevaliered: (204)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-19 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
...

I'm not even the tallest guy I know. [ wet noodle man... ]

You're really hung up on being pillow hit, huh?
reifies: (pic#15812350)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-20 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
You hit me again even after seeing it was me!

[ Rude! Hella rude! Sen looks like he'll never forgive Crow for it, until he's just exhausted and slumps on his bundled, useless futon on the ground. Weh. ]
chevaliered: (281)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-20 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ the huge lack of shame here. ]

I was facing off against at unknown enemy and a master of disguise. Who knows who it could've been, pretending to be you.
reifies: (pic#15812161)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-21 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Who would want to be me?

[ He says as if offended. The audacity?? ]
chevaliered: (230)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-21 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone who wants their team to win?
reifies: (pic#15812336)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-21 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not making any sense, Crow!

[ He does make sense, but Sen can't wrap his head around anyone wanting to be him for any reason, because that would imply that he has some use. There's no way, right? ]

Because I am not the tool of victory.
chevaliered: (257)

[personal profile] chevaliered 2022-09-23 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
You could be for someone if you're making yourself an easy target. The, uh, futon isn't exactly subtle.

[ sen's self worth issues aside... it's a fair pointer. ]
reifies: (pic#15812339)

[personal profile] reifies 2022-09-23 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the point. I'm not the king, so I'm there to be bait.

[ He thinks that tracks, but he also stares at Crow so hard. ]

So don't go ruining my master plan, wall-man.
