March 2022 Mini Event


MAIN NAVIGATION
The Night Parade is fast-approaching and each faction will be busy with their own preparations.
1. SHUTEN CLAN
The Celestial Phoenix Casino, a fairly popular casino in the Shuten territory, is overdue on its protection money. This money is sorely needed for parade preparations. Unfortunately, the casino has decided it doesn't need to pay up because they've hired some new unaffiliated muscle. Neither the manager nor their new muscle are the type to listen to reason, so be prepared to exert some intimidation and force to convince these new bodyguards to take their business elsewhere.
The brute squad working for the Celestial Phoenix seems to be made up of several different youkai. Some of them are more human looking than others, but you'll notice no Oni. Even independent Oni wouldn't dare turn against the Shuten Clan. Even lacking in Oni, these thugs are armed to the teeth, swinging several deadly weapons and even a few firearms. This could get rough, so be prepared for the worst. Take the gangsters protecting the Celestial Phoenix out or convince them it’s not worth it.
Once inside, you'll discover that the owner, in a panic, has locked himself inside the casino's value with the protection money owed. This might take some doing to get open...
2. SUTOKU ALLIANCE
The Kappa want to be left alone and the Daitengu has asked Sutoku Alliance members to assure their wishes are respected. Members are tasked with convincing people to stay away from the Kappa's riverside facilities by whatever means necessary. Of course, you may want to take a look for yourself to see what they’re being so secretive about. That’s not recommended, if you don’t want to get into trouble.
It’s not just strangers who are nosy, though. Retinues from both the Shuten and Tamamo clans are making an appearance and asking why the inspections are taking so long. Why are the Kappa dragging their feet? The Alliance prefers to avoid direct violence, so it's up to you to talk to these clan captains in a way that convinces them to leave the Kappa alone.
If you're curious enough to dive deeper into the Kappa's business, however, even your Alliance membership isn't going to keep you safe. The Kappa themselves seem to disappear from sight the further into the sewers you go, as if invisible. Preventing yourself from being spotted by a security camera or a patrolling Kappa is almost impossible. Cover your faces, stick to the shadows, and you might just notice that... they’re building something down there.
Something for the Parade? Who knows? But it’s definitely not decorations or a float...
3. DEPARTMENT OF THE ENMA
The parade route for the Night Parade needs to be "cleaned up". The Department is tasked with getting the low level street gangs and squatters to clear out. The homeless population will resist and may not be so easily persuaded to give up their spots. Your best bet is to offer them food, booze, or shelter for the night. The street gangs will assuredly fight back. Use your strength or your wits to get the job done.
The gangs will not typically be that tough, most don’t want to step up to the Department's goon squad too heavily lest they wind up in a cell for the rest of their lives. Still, some might be hopped up on encouraging substances and try to escalate. Don’t worry, though. You have the authority of the Enma on your side! Don’t think they will get away with waving a weapon in your face.
The homeless, though, lack strength or weapons. They are more fueled by desperation to keep their spots. Winter hasn't been kind to them, after all, and they don’t have much respect for the Enma's authority. Their belligerent behavior is loud, and often violent despite their absence of means to properly defend themselves. At worst, they’ll probably try to use biological warfare. Don’t ask what's in those bottles...
4. TAMAMO CLAN
Parade costumes need to be designed, crafted, modeled, and then likely mended knowing the rough and tumble yokai. The textile shops and tailors of the area need Tamamo Clan members to help them out. Costumes vary from extremely ornate to extremely sexy. These costumes need to merge form and function, for the Tamamo clan parade marchers that means they need to be able to sell their specific wares while wearing them. (wink wonk)
None of the costumes are floor ready and the shop bosses urge you that these cannot be seen by the public until they are ready. This won’t stop some peeping toms and tammies from trying to scope out the goods. Most of the voyeurs are spying for perverted reasons, but some are from shops outside of Tamamo’s influence trying to copy the designs for themselves. Either way, Tamamo Clan members aren't expected to be just pretty faces. So rough’em up.
5. TASTE TEST (ALL FACTIONS)
For those less interested in their faction's work, the restaurants in the Tamamo territory also need help finalizing their menu offerings for the Night Parade. Taste testers and creative cooks wanted! These aren’t just any dishes though and may have some interesting effects. One may be so spicy that everything burns, your face turns red, and you need to cool yourself off. Or maybe your dish is so good that you need to take a nap – it doesn't matter where you are, you'll just fall asleep right on the spot. Another possibility is a dish that gives you unstoppable energy – literally. It will make you want to get up and go and never stop moving. If you stop moving, it may cause a bigger problem.

Haruka Sawamura | Yakuza/RGG | Tamamo
When the designers need feedback on colors and combinations, she's happy to provide a sounding board for them. When they need someone to model the clothing, she's happy to step up and serve, and more patient than most people are expecting from a girl her age as they shift and move and occasionally prick her; her cheerful smile might flicker, but it never falters. When it comes to keeping security up, she's the first to help close curtains, hide things, or keep an eye out for peeping toms since she has more experience with that than she'd like to explain.
All in all, she'll do whatever she has to and do her best to keep everyone's energy up along the way.]
taste test [so much more!!!]
An order of takoyaki that has her go go going at top speed as she carries the bags of food back and go around distributing the food. Once that's done, she'll start doing rounds around the building and dancing in place and when someone asks her to stop and act as a model or for tailoring, she'll bounce off and apologize that she can't. seem. to keep still.]

taste test
Pardon me - I know I'm interrupting your work, but I can't help but notice you haven't so much as taken a break. [ he pauses as he winds through the crowd then falls back to her side. ] Am I correct in saying that you're unable to?
[ like there is some magic at work or something else. ]

itadori yuuji ☆ jjk (enma)
[ there's always some asshole with a knife, huh.
itadori had been restless since he has gotten here, opting to avoid big gatherings and unnecessary partying at first— still trying to process his new reality at his own pace. it's not ... so bad to be in this 'hell'? if he's honest. and yet, it didn't feel quite right. something is up, but he didn't want to sound like a lunatic on the public network, and he didn't have the motivation to investigate either. so he's stuck between 'i don't even care' and 'ugh, i hate this'. on a positive note: the assignment given to him is welcomed with open arms. it kept itadori busy, and his anxious thoughts subdued.
back to the unexpected escalation in (what he thought) a simple fucking conversation— those gang members didn't seem to take it lightly when itadori approached them. another street fight, another day; until some idiot managed to sneak a quick one and leave a huge slit on the palm of his hand. once it's all taken care of and the mob of goons is sent off, itadori would be seen crouched down in an alleyway, pouring water on his open wound— rinsing off the accumulated blood.
it's a fun start to a long, long night. ]
✗ negotiations
Okay, two! Everyone will get two boxes instead of one!
[ listen, the homeless people are another story. they are vulnerable, rarely held any weapons, and they are just trying to survive this harsh city. so, itadori felt bad about asking them to fuck off for this stupid parade, but he had a job to do. instead of going hard on them, he tried to persuade them with treats— gently. with food specifically, a meal box, maybe some drinks too ... or whatever the budget given from his faction can bid. but, it's been a long-ass negotiation session, almost lasted half an hour until this moment. the group before him didn't seem to budge and would ask him to double the compensation. until he dropped the two meal box option.
and then, silence.
he waits as the group regarded each other, contemplating his tempting offer with a hint of doubt. with a smile (and raw stupidity, really) — he had to throw another proposal as a final shot at victory. an offer he might not be able to commit to. ]
Oh, and ... I'll offer you protection for a whole week as you settle into your new area! How about that?!
[ don't promise what you can't keep, yuuji. ]
[ ooc; or, come with your own prompt! I'm pretty much open to anything ♥ ]
✗ parade route
...this is what you do. She has Experience with this!
When the fight is over and he turns his hand to spot the blood, she spots it too... and she'll trot over, concern on her face. ]
Are you all right? Can I get you anything for your hand?

Ydris | Original | OTA
Open to all factions
[Ydris has seen fit to really avoid whatever the Kappa are doing. At least, out in the open. They want absolutely nobody to suspect anything of concern is going on, just the same silly preparations as the other factions are doing. They plan to make a show of wealth and resources. It couldn't possibly be a power grab.
And if it is, Ydris is too new here to know if it's a justified one or not. They don't particularly want to be at the mercy of a bunch of water based demons, but for now it's best to play nice and obedient to the whims of their ""superiors"". They float at the entrance for a bridge, one that doesn't have a lot of traffic. People who want to cross are getting told to take a detour, most don't complain more than a grumble of two.
Thing is, the bridge isn't what's important. There's a remote, open sewer entrance just beneath it. This is all a distraction to keep it guarded while not putting someone right out front of it or needing to take time away to create a barricade up it.]
Bridge is up, festival shipments coming up the river soon. Find another way around.
II. Taste Test
OTA & NSFW for hentai brain reasons
[So, some of these foods have various... effects. People are bustling around to taste test and get a feel for how, well, effective certain things are. Ydris is at one such stand, looking especially challenging out at a, now, sizeable crowd that has gathered to gawk.
Juice That Makes You Come Super Hard.
That's what the sign reads! And laid out on the cart are very cutesy, little juice boxes with dinky bendy straws. They all have bold text proclaiming ADULT ONLY across them. There is a very intrigued crowd formed, but nobody appears willing to test if they do what they say they do. It must just be a joke, right? A novelty item-? Ydris is giving not indication, maybe they work and maybe they don't.
Ydris is also actively haggling the crowd, their tone exceedingly dry and unimpressed. Someone yells a snarky question that Ydris echoes back before answering]
What flavor are they-? Fuck you, that's what. Try one and find out. Be a legend.
[Feel free to talk to Ydris without taking one, but like... what fun is that?]
II
Oh no.
Now a little concerned he wiggles through a few breaks in the group until he’s in front of the booth, looking at the product Ydris is peddling with a mix of disbelief and discomfort. Why is this place like this? Also did they just cuss? ]
Ydris ... what the hell ...

Of course, once she was free to move around, it was hard to ignore the display of one of the other models swirling the fabric of her traditional outfit. LB is so fascinated by the flourish that she watches for a moment, smiling pleasantly at the question.]

Laughing Beauty | Metal Gear | Tamamo Clan
1.)
[Though sometimes LB felt a little lost in trying to learn the skills for the various jobs that were more mundane than she was used to, LB finally found some relief in finding that the tailors in the area needed some help with the costumes. Her experience in helping with clothes was minimal, but she at least had some knowledge in doing basic stitches, so she was able to help a little.
However, when the call came to help model and test out the outfits, LB felt confident enough to immediately volunteer for that much. In spite of her previous occupation more or less being a mercenary, she still had some hazy memories of modeling for some sort of propaganda magazine for the company she was under too, the one time she was allowed out of her power suit.
Being completely comfortable in her body, she volunteers for the sexier outfits on display. After trying on one or two, though, she finds that the tailors hadn't quite considered women as busty as she was wearing them. Though it does inspire a couple to modify a couple of their outfits to account for that, for the time being, LB was left to model the more ornate outfits instead.
While she didn't have an issue with that, in theory, she's left looking utterly confused when she tries to put the outfit on. Looking for the closest person she can find, she flashes them an apologetic look before waving them down.]
Hey, are you more familiar with these kinds of outfits? Eheheh? [Sheepishly, she raises a hand to rub at her neck before continuing.] Do you think you could help me out for a bit?
2.
[Once it's brought to her attention that there were peeping toms around, disrupting the tailors' work, LB finds further familiarity in being told to "deal with the problem". Granted, she felt a whole lot more confident about those types of orders when she actually had a weapon to use.
Nevertheless, LB is actually set to go out in the elaborate, complicated outfit she was given, but was stopped before she can make even two more steps - she couldn't go out in that, when it was still being worked on! And what if there was another tailor looking to steal their design!
Convinced by the arguments, LB simply strips herself of the outfit as carefully as she can, even if perhaps she was still moving a little slower than the tailors might have liked. With the urgency of the orders being repeated, LB just decides to go out in her bra and panties - again, she was comfortable enough in her body that it didn't actually bother that much.
Stepping outside, she actually manages to look pretty firm in telling the intruders from outside to please keep their distance away, even if most of them still lasciviously looked her over and made no attempt to leave.
Crossing her arms, she felt more frustrated about not having a weapon more than her state of undress. Glancing over to any other Tamamo members outside with her, the annoyance in her expression is obvious. Lowering her voice, she speaks to them.]
Are you any good at hand to hand fighting? [Because sadly, that was one area she was actually terrible at. Not wanting to look weak in front of other members, though, she adds:] Otherwise, do you have any ideas to deal with these guys?
[In the meantime, she looks around for any items she could use in a pinch to scare off the perverts if the other person didn't have a plan.]
B) FOOD STALLS
1.)
[Though she wasn't a particularly creative cook, LB still finds some way to make herself useful in actually being particularly good at filleting fish, even if she had no further knife skills. The problem, though, was that she wasn't knowledgeable in using spices and merely tries to copy the other cooks in adding the spices she saw them use.
What she doesn't know, however, was that the "spice" was actually some sort of hallucinogenic substance and she perhaps uses a little more than she's supposed to. As the others were busy, at the moment, LB steps up to man the station as she sees someone step up.]
In the mood for some fish? Haha? Give me one moment and I'll get one ready for you!
[And sure enough, as she was quite experienced in chopping up fish, she's pretty fast in preparing it, and then slapping a little too much of the "special ingredient" on top of it. With a smile, she hands it over to the patron.]
There you go! Let me know how it tastes, okay?
[At the very least, she'll try to help if something goes wrong?]

BISHOP | OC | Shuten
New Challengers
[ He's done a lot of shady things in his lifetime, but never did he think he'd be doing actual yakuza legwork. Not to mention doing it for a yokai boss of all things. Still, the deal they gave him was a little too good to pass up so he'll play along for a while.
This particular job is simple, but only on paper. He hoped some talking would help ease the situation, maybe rough up three or four of this so called "muscle" he got but....When weapons, crowds, and hot headed fools come together, its makes a cocktail of really bad things to happen to a lot of people who don't deserve it. Well, yokai in this case.
He was immediately met at the entrance with the kind of hostility a cornered animal would show, feral and eager to strike - hands on their weapons and can be seen by anyone who sticks their nose in. Much too hot a situation for this kind of setting. ]
Whoa, whoa, everybody just relax.
[ He says arms raised defensively as he slowly backed away. ]
Lets just take it easy and not do anything stupid.
[ He says with particular emphasis to you, the unfortunate clanmate who just walked in. ]
Fight (CW: Blood and violence)
[ Of course he wasn't going to take what happened lying down. After a strategic retreat, some careful planning, and select few souls, he was ready rush headfirst into danger. Outmanned, out gunned, but definitely not outmatched.
He came in from the back entrance, catching the guards by surprise and bursting in with guns blazing. Soon enough, the whole casino is in chaos as Bishop broke off and made his way through hired goon after goon towards their main quarry, proving that they were mostly all bark.
He had cleared a back hall way and was approaching the stairwell, blood splattered on the wall, floor, and ceiling, with some of the hired muscle dead on the ground while others were just badly injured. ]
Hmm? Oh, you back up? Cool. [ He says wiping the blood from a katana he nabbed. ] Sorry about the mess, I'm usually a lot cleaner than this. Anyway -
[ He points down the hall towards a pair of doors. ] - I think that's the security room there. Shall we go take a peek?
[ Right as he finishes, more armed yokai show up at either end of the hall, screaming and cursing. ]
After these guys, I mean.
Or I'll huff and puff
[ There's a deep groan from Bishop and other Shuten clan members stood outside of what has turned into a makeshift panic room. Several inches of heavy duty industrial steel, a lock needing several keys and a combination dial, and a deadbolt to lock it in place. ]
How much do you guys wanna bet the money we're looking for is inside?
[ A pause. ]
Coincidentally, a few pounds of C4 will clear this up nicely.
Taste Test - OTA
God. Fucking. Dammit!
[ Is the first thing you may hear when you approach this takoyaki stand, the delightful balls of octopus and fried batter looking completely normal at a glance. Looking at Bishop, who is currently kicking an empty garbage bin, he is incredibly red in the face and perspiring profusely. Its also not just him, everyone else who had partaken of the takoyaki samples is in a smiliar state, but unlike him, they are desperately running away to search for water. ]
ARRGH! It's in my fucking nose!
Wildcard - OTA
[ HMU with your ideas at
Taste Test
[Monts while exploring the food stalls had finally decided on getting a large serving of kakigori, glittering, cool, and mixed with green melon and blue raspberry syrup that drenched the fine flakes of ice. She had almost gravitated towards the takoyaki before deciding on the sugary cold route instead.
But from the look of the young man's face and some of the others who had unfortunately consumed the spicy balls of octopus fire, she probably made the right choice. She's calm in the eye of the suffering storm and when Bishop hovers near her, she holds out her shaved ice.]
Now, I haven't tested this yet, but I'm thinking this is going to be the closest thing to relief you're gonna get. Sorry.

casinobattle royale: shuten clan only[Now this is more like it. Childe had put his name forward without hesitation when he found out about this particular job and, though some might question his professional investment, he’s quick to prove his worth. The fighting broke out in no time at all and, leaving the more sensitive task of negotiating to those more inclined towards peaceful resolutions, he’d thrown himself fully into it.
At some point, the brawl spilled out of the back rooms and onto the casino floor itself, which is where Childe finds himself now. He all but dances across the tabletops, footwork light and precise as he weaves in and out of reach of the gaggle of hired muscle he’s managed to attract on his rampage. He already has a split lip and, as he comes to a stop atop the roulette wheel, he wipes it impatiently, smearing blood across his cheek. So far, he’s been slashed at, tossed across the room and thrown through a pane of glass but he barely feels it at all. Adrenaline is quite the painkiller in his experience- and he’s looking forward to the way it’ll hurt later anyway. It’s all part of the thrill of a fight.
A man with split pupils and a forked tongue skids to a halt in front of him. He hisses-
And, with a wild smile, Childe kicks a pile of discarded chips directly into his scaled rival’s face, sending him reeling backwards in shock. Seizing on the opportunity, he leaps down from the wheel and ducks behind a row of pachinko machines. Only it looks like someone else had the same idea.]
Quite a show, isn’t it?
[Good thing he recognised whoever it is beside him from when they broke in.]
i (b) after party: shuten clan only
[The dust has settled, the debt paid- but not without casualties. Not is half of the Celestial Phoenix a complete mess but its defenders have been, by and large, cut down. The bar over by the blackjack tables, once gloriously tacky and packed with clients, has been turned upside down. The ground is strewn with broken bottles and there isn’t a single remaining stool or chair that hasn’t been either flipped or smashed or turned into a makeshift weapon.
No less than three men lie motionless in the VIP area; one across the table with half a glass in his head and blood pooling across the menu, another eating marble on the floor beside him. The last is draped fully over a booth partition and his blazer is such a deep maroon that only up close does the gaping wound in his back become obvious. As for the man responsible?
Well, he’s casually sipping a glass of ice water at the bar.
Childe leans back against the counter, one elbow up and one leg hooked over the other like he isn’t splattered with blood. He looks completely relaxed, like he’s a regular enjoying a drink and this is just another night and not the result of a full on assault on the casino. Only when he hears the sound of footsteps does he look up- and snatch the gun beside him up as he does. He levels it at the stranger with a cool smile.]
I’ve never used one of these before, you know.
iii. taste test: open
[It's a nice change of pace, really. Childe makes for an excellent guinea pig when it comes to testing the flavours- he's knowledgeable enough to give intelligent feedback and honest enough not to hold any punches- but not so much the more magical elements. He's part way through a plate of takoyaki when it suddenly hits him just how tired he is.
He yawns once- then twice- and then can't stop himself from lolling against the person next to him.]
Ah... sorry... you just looked comfortable.
[Maybe he overdid it back at the casino?]
after party
Oh well, there’s nothing he can do about that.
A loud yawn escapes the devil hunter as he enters the VIP lounge. He stretches his arms over his head in a mock stretch, seemingly unaware of the guy by the counter. That is until he glances directly at him with an annoyed scowl upon his face. It’s hard to tell who’s who in this place but most of the Shuten guys know Dante as “Red Coat”. It’s a nickname he picked up from his time in the ring. He’s a striking figure around here, almost like an edgy comic book character. He’s a little too old for the whole rebel-without-a-cause trope but Dante wears it well.]
Oh yeah? Well, you might want to put that peashooter down before I rearrange your face.
[That’s not a warning but rather a promise. Childe isn’t the only badass in town.]
Besides, I just want a drink.
[Beware, he’s a borderline alcoholic these days. Life in Jigokucho is stressing him the hell out.]

after party
Wei Wuxian | Mo Dao Zu Shi | Sutoku
[well, he hadn't made much of a secret that he found some things about the Sutoku Alliance shady even as he agreed to sign up. a masked leader with even more mystery surrounding him than the other faction heads? a loose aggregate structure which meant the individual tribes of the alliance could close ranks to the others whenever they thought the stakes were high enough? the very first notable thing about their participation in the Night Parade being that the Kappa were obviously keeping something concealed, even from fellow Sutoku?
he hadn't been able to resist checking it out any longer. for sure it's a risk, but what's the worst they can do if they catch him, really? kill him again?
so. if you, too, have swum down here tonight to see what the Kappa are up to, you might notice at some point you're not alone with them. there's a figure in dark clothing down here with you, with everything but their eyes tightly covered to obscure who they are. maybe you've even darted to hide in the same patch of shadows at the same time. they don't move when you spot each other, though, except to put a finger to their hidden mouth: shhhhh. one of the guards is coming around, perhaps.]
ii. aftermath (ota)
[for those who weren't foolhardy enough to go swimming in the river at night on self-imposed infiltration missions...you might still have a chance to catch Wei Wuxian at this one, sort of. not the part where he got his brief closer glimpse at the river construction, and not the part where he was finally spotted and had to book it (exeunt stage left, pursued by angry Kappa!), but a little bit afterwards, when he's shaken them off his tail and changed into a dry outfit.
he's overestimated how much energy he has when he can't draw on anything external, when he has to rely on his own body's resources and nothing more. so you might find him collapsed on a streetside bench closer to the bright lights and noise of the more popular city blocks, sitting mostly upright but also grey-faced and trying to catch his breath so he can get up and get home. his hair's still damp.
he looks like he could use some help. clearly something just happened to him, even if your character might not be able to infer exactly what.]
iii. taste-testing (ota)
[some time before or after all the nonsense above, though, he can definitely be found having fun in the Tamamo district, because free food is and will be his favorite thing for the next little while, no matter what it is.
he pauses flirting with the cooks and waitstaff in this particular dinner spot when you walk in, and beckons you over]
Ah, here, you're here to try the samples, right? Why don't you let us know what you think of these? We're all very proud of them! Definitely the most flavorful dishes you'll find anywhere in the city!
[oh god. the contents of every sample on the tray are eye-searingly red. there's so much spice on there you swear you see the air above the tray shimmer with heat. do you dare?]
dinner date (closed to Gao Yizhi)
so once that was done, Gao Yizhi had received a message, under Wei Wuxian's real name:]
Friend and savior! Do you happen to be free tonight or tomorrow night? I haven't forgotten my promise to treat you!

kazuki soma | lost judgement | enma
[ There are times when conversation works to settle an issue and there are times when violence is the only action that will see immediate results.
In this case, Soma has chosen violence. He weighed his options: meeting with each group calmly and discussing the matter with them, or smashing the disruption quickly and decisively. Certainly, the former option would have eventually brought results, but he wants to show he's capable as soon as possible.
And this is where most tend to find him -- having a street brawl. He has untied his tie and wrapped it around the knuckles of one hand and brandishing a knife with another. The tie was always dark in color, but old and knew blood is dripping down both arms. His own? His attackers? Bit of a mix.
He's not constantly on the winning side of things. His lip is busted and eye bruised, but he still somehow has the same calm as he always does; unhurried and unfazed. Nothing breaks his stride as he keeps moving forward toward the group.
But he glances over his shoulder: ]
You can have whatever's in the pockets of the fallen... and a warm meal if you help.
another aftermath;
[ A man in a bloodied business suit sits down on a bench.
He breathes out a long sigh before he takes out his prize -- it is a small bento meal that was presumably bought from one of the convenient stores around. Stretching his legs out, he tugs the top off before beginning to eat. Occasionally, he winces as he chews; the bruises lip and cheek does not make for easy eating, but otherwise he seems fine.
Soma pauses before he digs out a canned beer that he apparently also bought but did not yet partake in. He takes a deep drink before turning his head to spit; blood and liquid splatter onto the sidewalk. ]
Really takes away from the flavor. [ He pauses noting that he's not alone. ] So. How is your day going?
taste test;
Is it free?
[ It is his first concern as he looks over the food that is in front of him. He's being more than a little stingy with his funds since he does not have the quote-unquote unlimited amount that he once did. ]
Hmm, hmm, hmm...
[ He's assured that it is since he's willing to be a taste tester. His state of dress -- or state of ruin -- is only given a curosory glance and not commented upon. He lifts his handkerchief to his nose, sniffling loudly into it. ]
I just can't decide. [ A beat. ] Aren't you nervous about trying it to? [ He looks to the Tamamo who appears a little offended. ] It's no offense... you just add a lot of interesting things to your food. [ His tone is teasing, but it seems like he's about ready to start a situation at the stall.
Shove food in his mouth? Join in his concern about added ingredients? ]
wildcard;
[ Throw whatever you like at him. Could even be prior to having him get into fights, if you like. ]
taste test
I don't know if 'nervous' is the right word for it, but. [He tilts his head and gives the stall attendant a stunning, obviously performative grin as if to smooth away the insult, or at least to establish some Tamamo solidarity.] I have work in an hour, so could we have something that's not going to cause anything 'interesting' to happen? Nothing that would cause any after effects in humans, or... [he glances over at Soma in the corner of his eye as if hedging his bets] in ayakashi either.

"Monts" | Original Character | Tamamo
❈ TAMAMO CLAN, but OTAish — Voyeur Brigade, Beware
TASTE TEST, OTA — I Can't Choose!
❈ WILDCARD, OTA
[OOC: You can PM me if you'd like a top-level for your character or an idea you'd like to hash out beforehand!]
Voyeur Brigade, Beware
Turns out, not great for Ydris in particular. They were boldly walking right up to the place like they belonged there, because sneaking isn't their thing. Then, suddenly, their human disguise was completely evaporated by a torrential pour of water off the balcony.
Water that immediately super heats hitting their natural form, exploding outward and the pouring upward in a burst of rapidly forming steam. What's left is a very humid and very disgruntled candle.]
Fuck! [cool cuss, Ydris. They cannot actually focus and see who did this, only hearing distant shouting from up above, which they yell back at blindly]
Were you trying to kill me!?

1a. keeping watch (ota)
1b. finding facts (sutoku alliance)
2. TASTE TEST
???
1a!
It could be innocent. It could also be nefarious. Without engaging directly in the rumor mill, he had simply stepped off to look into it. It isn’t as though evil ever comes to you; you have to go hunt it down. If there really is something amiss … simply put, it’s quite against his nature to do nothing.
He studies along the river’s edge, peering into the water and then scanning down its path. His own reflection in the water’s surface mimics the action—a figure in white trimmed with light blue, light embroidery patterned across with faint traces of gold. Blue eyes study the trajectory, and he figures that the river eventually leads to some underpiping or plumbing … and he pauses there, judging if he wants to continue pursuit. It’s been quiet so far, but that doesn’t mean that there isn’t anything. What if there is something going on deeper down?
Or he could be wandering into where all the poop goes. That’s a thought that gives him goosebumps. He doesn’t want to go there… he will if there are evil spirits, but, ugh…
It’s mid-thought along those lines when a warning arrow plunks into the ground, dangerously close. Eyes narrowing, the youth turns toward the direction that the shot came from—he’s without his greatsword, but if there’s an issue, he still has confidence in his training. Tools are merely tools; he will figure out another way if need be.
Hint understood. Stubbornly, he doesn’t want to take it, suspicions newly roused. While he doesn’t continue down to follow the water’s flow, he doesn’t leave, either.
Alright. Despite the first shot, he takes a few more steps forward and toward the downward slope of the river, new curiosity toward the shooter. ]

Soundwave | Transformers IDW | Sutoku
[Tempting as it to spy on the kappa business, Soundwave is a newbie here and opted to play it safe and be obedient instead. He would try, if he had his powers and tools with him, though currently lacks them to help him sneak around places he doesn't belong.
He's tasked with an assignment to dissuade those who attempts to nosy around and keep the river bank near the parade route clear
So, whoever's caught snooping around near the riverside will be approached by one 10 foot tall mech with a glowing red visor staring down at them. How did this large mech managed to sneak up on you unnoticed? He has surprisingly silent feet, despite what his size and being all metal might suggest otherwise.]
I suggest you turn around. It is a smart idea to leave the Kappa be.
ii- taste test ota
a [Soundwave is looking to refuel after a day's work. He's looking for some alternatives since none of the stalls here sell Cybertronian foodstuff. Hence he's standing in front of a juice stall. He's offered a juice as a taste tester, and seeing that he isn't in any position to refuse free drinks- look, he is a broke newbie like everyone else is.
Soundwave accepts the juice and drinks through a small open hatch on his faceplate. He refused to remove it for any reason, more comfortable to leave it on.
Maybe he shouldn't have accepted it. The more he drinks, the more Soundwave starts to doze off. And eventually, though maybe a little hard to tell with the lack of a 'face', he stops moving already and seems to be sleeping mid drink. ]
b [Or maybe later, Soundwave has inexplicably transformed into his vehicle mode and is now on the middle of the street, still sleeping. People are forgiven for thinking the vehicle is a lost toy because his alt mode is much more smaller than your typical car. If anything, he looks like the size of a power wheel...
So that's a possible reason why there is a group of youkai children circling around the vehicle and trying to figure out how to play with the vehicle. Help?]
II - B
A part of him wants to just let the kids play with it. Why not? When will they next get the chance? But they'll likely get in trouble once its rightful owner arrives, and that's enough motivation for him to shoo them away. ] Go on. That doesn't belong to you. Go find something else to play with.
[ Privately, he feels a little sad they didn't get to play with it either. But once they're gone, he gets to get a good look at it instead. He hasn't yet had a chance to get a close look at the vehicles here, and this replica is a good opportunity. After ogling the unfamiliar steering wheel for a couple minutes, he shakes off his curiosity and starts to try to roll it to the side of the street, where it will be well out of the way.
Only it's more difficult to move than what Kim expected from a toy. He lets out a surprised grunt. ] No kid could paddle this. Is there a real engine in here...?

HAND/EYE COORDINATION - Guns of this caliber are only seen carried by private security contractors. These are *war crime* weapons.
VISUAL CALCULUS - One of the shooters ducks and rolls behind a slot machine just across from your table. The two of you on either side, and the path ahead the only way into the manager's offices.
LOGIC - Isn't that the demon hunter from when you first showed up? ]
Huh?
[ Harry mutters dumbly, snapped from this thoughts when he realizes he's being called at. Another barrage of gunfire pops off into air and he winces as if he's about to meet death again. He takes the moment to shout a response: ]
No -- he must be upstairs! I was on my way to talk to him! [ Then he gets a better look, knows for sure it's the demon hunter, and sees the guns. ] Wait, did *you* start this fire fight?! What the hell man!

Shizuka Takeda | OC
Taste Test - ASMR to help you sleep:
Taste Test - Powerthirst:
OOC:
this taste test is DA BOMB
Not being shy in the least, she asks random people in the crowd, until she's directed to the most popular one in the area. She didn't even care about the prize, she just wanted to try the takoyaki. However, as it became clear that this particular batch was spicy, LB felt some disappointment. She did not deal well with spicy.
However, before she can walk away, her attention is drawn to a particularly distressed looking Lost Soul. With the excitement of the crowd buzzing around her, LB had to stay to watch. Before she can settle into the crowd of yokai, though, she's frozen in place as the woman unexpectedly barks out a request.]
Me? Eheheh?
[She begins to reach for the gallon of milk nearby, but pauses as she's met with jeering from the crowd. There's variations of different yokai yelling at her to basically not wuss out, while there's one more sympathetic cry to not give up - the prize was so close!
Frowning, LB grips the handle of the milk and draws closer to the stranger, though she looks hesitant to hand it over.]
Are you certain you want this?

Billy the Kid | fgo | TamTam's ClanClan
[A]
Suppose it don't look all that bad on ya.
[He sat off to the side, still dressed in his usual clothing. At least he had his jacket, scarf and hat hanging up? Still, Billy resisted calls for him to dress up as well. No point when he was supposed to be working security and giving his own opinion on things. Of course he doesn't look like one that would actually rough anyone up.
The opposite really, given that he's not the biggest guy around.
Billy doesn't need to be though. All he needs to be is quick, and looking carefree. If not a tadbit lazy, as his current sitting posture might also suggest.]
[B - violence warning]
[Billy isn't big, but he can be intimidating in his own way.]
An' don't ya ever come back 'round here again! [Each word was punctuated with a grunt and a smack from the butt of his pistol as he beat down a peeping youkai. Now bruised, battered and bloodied. He didn't want to outright kill them, and had taken pains to avoid doing so. Still, they needed to be made an example of.
Whether or not they were perving or spying in on the establishment he was currently tasked with. With huff he stood up and holstered his gun. At least this one would make a clear example and warning.
Whether or not others really felt the same didn't really matter in his head.]
II - Taste Test
It smells good, I suppose....
[While Billy had relaxed a good deal since he'd first arrived, there was always going to be that bit of caution in the back of his mind. Conditioned into him as an orphan with two siblings, and that of an outlaw. That and the given environment he was in certainly didn't lend much trust in him.]
What d'ya think?
[WILDCARD]
[Feel free to hit me up with whatever.]
tamamo b!
Once it's over with, he looks up from his drawing with an encouraging smile.]
Good work! I don't think that one will be returning any time soon.
