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!
no subject
[ He doesn't want for a confirmation and shakes his head pretty hard that his side braid comes out of his hair and his gold hair accessory almost goes flying. Sen bends over to secure it in his hands but he's now very dizzy and the magpie is still on his head. A failure. ]
no subject
Careful now. Guess that won't work...
[The stupid magpie is still warbling after all. Amelia looks between Sen's hair and then holds up her own red hair strands, thinking.]
... It will be no less irritating for me but... Maybe I can attract it to my head instead?
no subject
I... don't want to.
[ Anyway. ]
Oh, maybe a thick glove would work? The beak hurts, but the glove should help. I don't know where to get one though.
no subject
[That confuses her slightly, but she goes with it. Sen is a unique duck and she's trying to understand his idiosyncracies.]
Getting a thick glove shouldn't be too hard. On the other hand, if this bird can sing, then it can talk.
[She glares at the magpie pointedly.]
We shall negotiate. Sen let's find you a seat where it's comfortable for you. Ah, and don't forget this.
[She takes his palm and returns his hair accessory.]
no subject
[ He looks down at his hand where Amelia put the hair accessory, but lets his hair stay like that, because the magpie might mess it up again. He leads Amelia to a nearby bench, because he thinks that's the only appropriate place for them to sit at. ]
How will you negotiate with a bird?
no subject
[And so she'll talk to the magpie who finally settles down from its metal rock n' roll operatics, long enough to explain to the witch (and Sen) by extension that it was paying tribute to its favorite band, who have long since disbanded. Perhaps if the both of them could get the boys back together...? Maybe??
Amelia is poker-faced during this exchange. But she'll refer to Sen first.]
It sounds like the magpie wants our help. Sen, would you like to work with me to help them? They'll leave your head alone if we lend a hand.
no subject
We don't even know where they are or how they look like... groups splitting up must have had a reason too.
[ ... ]
I guess we're going to collect information again!
no subject
[The magpie does fill them in on more details and droning on and on about their favorite band, how great it would be if they got back together before Amelia interrupts it long enough to say, yes, they're going to look for the band and get the boys back together.
Satisfied, the magpie finally vacates Sen's head, and when it's out of sight...
Amelia turns to Sen, adjusting her glasses.]
Alright, Sen.
It's not lying if I delay the search for two hours, four hours if we're feeling fickle.
[Instead she inspects him, letting her concern color her features.]
Are you okay? How have you been since I've last seen you?
no subject
It's been a lot of things so far, but I think I'm adjusting well!
[ Sort of. ]
We had this big pillow fight and I was bait by covering myself with a futon.
no subject
[Her brow wrinkles with incredulity but softens. It sounded like he had fun. ]
... That's good. Did you like it?
no subject
[ They shouldn't be fun things, but. ]
It was fun, surprisingly.
no subject
Well, that's bound to happen in a pillow fight. Have you ever been to one before?
[A sincere question, maybe a little probing to see how much he's willing to tell her about himself. Ever since their first encounter, there's just so much ??? about him, but if there's one thing Amelia had been able to deduce, it's that for all his limited knowledge, Sen hasn't completely given her all the detail. Just snippets, just enough to let others know that he hasn't caught up as much.]
Actually, we can talk about this while exploring the city. We can just say we're technically looking around for that bird's favorite band members.
no subject
I never had them, since I had no reason to. I didn't have friends either... I think it's what friends do? I don't know.
no subject
[Amelia does think that after trying to get rid of the magpie, Sen would be tired. She walks them to a nearby teahouse that has outside seating under some umbrellas and pulls a chair out for Sen.
She ponders over what he's told her as she sits down.]
No formal education, no friends... Ah. Sorry. That was too blunt of an observation from me, wasn't it?
