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!

She picks around the food on her plate, still looking over the questions for a moment or two before drawing her attention onto Kim.]
I hope they're not expecting us to use these questions, because I'm thinking of just. Not.
[Kisara appreciates some following of the rules, but... within reason. And she doesn't see the benefit to the questions provided. That's not a way to get to know someone.]
I'm going to guess it's just an idea of what they expect. Doesn't seem they're looming over our shoulders or anything like that.
no subject
[She finishes striking off the last question, and as if done with it, turns the whole page over to start brainstorming new ones.]
Room could be bugged, but that's probably far more effort than it's worth. They're probably just satisfied to see us talking to each other.
[She smiles.]
Kim Wexler, by the way. I recognize your voice from the orientation, but I don't think I got a name.
no subject
But when Kim continues, she leans onto a forearm and she smiles.]
It occurs to me that when I was talking about what I did back home, that I didn’t exactly introduce myself.
[Shortsighted of her, really.]
I’m Kisara. It’s nice to meet you.
no subject
[A smile, slightly warmer. Been there.]
Are you going to be working with the policing division of the Department?
no subject
[Dohalim did most of the speaking for her, she realises in hindsight, and she had been content to let him do so. His words, after all, were her words. His dreams were her dreams. What need was there to speak up when he was so much more elegant?]
No one actually asked me what I wanted to do, but I’m happy to admit that paperwork isn’t exactly my forte. Although, I’m willing to do whatever’s put in front of me. I’m just here to help and fill in spots that I might be needed.
no subject
Kim just nods.]
I know the feeling. What would you do if you had the choice?
no subject
[Even if she wouldn’t consider herself a particularly violent person. And she doesn’t really want anyone else making that assumption either. She does what she has to, which isn’t always pleasant, but ultimately, Kisara just wants to take care of those around her.]
It’s what I did back home. Sounds like a simple enough answer, but I don’t doubt we have plenty of hands getting into similar things. But maybe you can’t have too many protectors of the peace.
no subject
There are a lot of ways to do that, but you should play to your strengths, even if you share them with other people. [Gamely:] I can't imagine there'll be a lot of combat in the Department, though.
no subject
[Kisara tilts her head thoughtfully, wondering if she's more relieved at that or if she feels like her skills might not be properly put to use. It's probably some very complicated mixture of the two concepts, honestly.]
I've heard different things about Enma. What they do. What they're supposed to do. Some people don't seem to have a very high opinion of them. I think if we're keeping the peace between the other clans, then we should be protecting the people who need it, too. Whatever that might entail. It's not feasible to just assume everyone's capable.
no subject
It's modern day law enforcement. Most cops spend their day driving around, logging paperwork and talking to people who have recently experienced a crime. The police don't do a lot.
[A slight pause.]
What does keeping the peace mean to you?
no subject
But to hear that people in such a position of power and influence who seem to do so little... She can't help but feel disappointed. If one has these things, isn't it their responsibility to make proper and good use of it? To make a change for the better? Things could always use improvement. There is always a new height to strive for.]
That's... Well.
[She doubts she knows how to answer that succinctly.]
Enforcement of doctrine. Actively protecting those who cannot protect themselves. Eliminating potential threats. Seeing to the prosperity of my people. Encouraging growth and evolution. It's true that some of that stuff can be upheld by paperwork, by books, but it'd be silly to think that would cover everything back home. Sometimes direct hands have to be involved.
[...Just... apparently not here.]
no subject
The Kim who has filled out thousands of forms and worried over how the placement of a semi-colon might impact an argument can only dream. There's a budding respect there for someone who just does.]
That sounds nice. [Genuinely.] I've always thought that law enforcement and the law are supposed to work hand-in-hand, but obviously it doesn't always work out like that. And this department... [She looks over her shoulder, suddenly; she's not entirely sure why. Everyone else is engrossed in their own conversations, grazing at the buffet. She turns back. Earnestly:] The reputation doesn't feel good.
no subject
No. It doesn't seem to.
[Leaning onto a forearm, she thinks about the possibilities.] I think as long as get the results that the clan wants, the method might not matter so much, which is not great for people who are just interested in making an earning. Good for those of us, however, who actually want to make a difference.
no subject
Well, that's what most of us are here for, right? To make an earning. Otherwise we'd be making a difference at home.
no subject
[The money doesn’t matter. It’s not as if she’s ever had much of it to begin with. Slaves don’t get wages, ordinarily and it was only by the grace of Dohalim that she started to accumulate one. Kisara has grown up with nothing and as a result has wanted very, very little, except the bare minimum. Respect. Freedom.
People doing awful things for money sounds… atrocious.]
Coin isn’t the end-all, be-all for me. I’m here to help my people. Money isn’t going to save them.
