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!

(Perhaps there were a few, but Leviathan wasn't in the Enma for a reason. They weren't going to stand here and be the judge and jury for a conflict they hadn't played part in, nor one that had ended well before they had even met Croix.)
They had no words; not at first, no. Instead, Levi stepped forward and pulled Croix into a tight hug, tight enough that they were certain the quickened pace of their heart was vibrating through both their bodies.
"I'm not choosing to forgive you, because I don't have that power," they said quietly, against Croix's ear. "But I'm choosing not to make anything worse for you." They brought their face back, enough to catch Croix in the eye if she allowed it. "You promised me that you never intended to hurt her, and I can see it on your face now that you mean it."
They squared themself up and stood up a little straighter, but they kept their hands on Croix's shoulders. "Anyone who has done terrible things always has the choice to stop what they're doing and try to make up for it. Making that choice shouldn't be as hard as it is." A pause. "That you're trying at all speaks a lot to who you are."
no subject
"Thank...thank you," she stammered out, unable to believe that someone could hear her self-condemnation and not immediately hating her. But. Leviathan was not only showing her mercy, she was showing her kindness. That was something at least.
"Chariot is lucky to have a friend like you," Croix said, while tears silently ran down her face.
no subject
"I've seen people do far worse to far more without a hint of shame. I've seen people oppress entire populations in service of the two people at the top of the food chain. The people with the most money, and by extension the people with the most power." They weren't going to explain that they knew who those two people were on a personal level. There were things that Croix wasn't allowed to know, even as she bared her soul to Leviathan in turn.
"All I want to be, to everyone I know, is someone who sees when people are trying." They moved their hands to their sides again, trying to remain under control. "I might have named myself after a beast from the deep, but I promise I'm not that kind of monster."
no subject
"I believe you," she said. "I sought power myself, but...I think now I'm going to focus on what's in front of me. What's always been in front of me."
She offered Leviathan her hand.
"And I'd like to count you among the people I call friend, as well."
no subject
"Thank you for sharing this with me... I appreciate that you trust me enough with it," they said just as openly. "I'll keep it to myself, no matter how much alcohol I put inside my body." Just a little joke! They weren't a talkative drunk, or much of any kind of drunk. "I trust you won't mind if I let Chariot know you told me, though? Just to keep everyone on the same page as each other."
no subject
Croix's voice trailed off, as she grabbed her head, suddenly finding her footing less sure than before. It seemed this woman definitely could not hold her alcohol.
no subject
Their eye slid over to the bottle at their workstation. Perhaps this was a mistake; perhaps they already had to cut Croix off. It probably wasn't the worst idea in the world, if they were both going to continue working with delicate machine bits. And electricity.
no subject
She looked up again, and blinked. She looked quite taken with something, and let out a short gasp.
"...Levi, I must admit...you are quite an attractive person..."
no subject
Instead, they smiled, trying and failing not to blush. Even in this situation, they were horrible at taking compliments gracefully. They closed both eyes, hiding their shatterscarred iris behind an eyelid that trailed with faint white lightning scars, and tilted their head a little downward while keeping that smile up. (When they weren't looking at Croix directly anymore, only then did they feel comfortable enough to open their eyes.)
"I appreciate you saying so, Croix." Their voice sounded far less confident here than it just had during what would arguably have been a far more difficult conversation. "You're very pretty yourself," they added, trying to keep it chaste and polite.
no subject
And...not coming back up. She just sort of stood there, half-doubled over, staring at the ground.
"...I believe I may be too dizzy to pull...pull myself up..."
no subject
A funny one, to be clear. And it did bring a smile to Levi's face, not truly aided by the alcohol yet. They reached down and tugged at Croix's arm, then slung it over their shoulders. "With all due respect, Croix Meridies," they said, pushing her torso upright again with their hand, "If I'd known you were such a magnificent lightweight, I wouldn't have suggested the alcohol."
no subject
"Sometimes you make an ill advised decision for the sake of courage," she said. "I don't..nn...make such decisions that often, I assure you..."
no subject
At least they knew an easy way to get Croix to calm down in case anything insidious started rising within her again. But they would use that information about drinking responsibly.
no subject
"We can't forget the parts I gathered," she said, motioning toward (or rather, just flopping her head in the direction of) the pile of tech she'd salvaged with the toys.
no subject
"I think they have bins up front. We can borrow one." They could manage this. One hand on their shirt, one hand tentatively around Croix's whole personage... this would be fine. "Then we'll take you home. Okay? We'll leave the alcohol here."
no subject
"...I need to be smarter next time," she said as they walked, even as her head was spinning.
no subject
They cautiously grabbed a second bin and offered it to Croix while they filled the first with parts. Just in case, uh, something tried to evacuate the dance floor.
no subject
"I suppose I'll have to be content with that."
