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.

no subject
He leapt and climbed over the namahage, spinning and slashing at the shoulder of its sword arm as he cleared the brute and rolled to dodge as he straightened up next to Dante. ]
Sorry I'm late.
[ Brief banter before he dashes forward, dodging a sweep of the namahage's blade by keeping low and sliding past and slashing first at the shin then quickly righting himself to slash at the back of the knee. Still keeping the yokai's attention he rolled to the side to dodge the blade as it came down, dashing past it once more and slashing at its exposed sword arm.
The namahage roared in pain and rage, swinging once more - this time with it's free arm to strike at Bishop with a backhand, which he blocked with the guard of the katana but just barely as he's sent a few feet back - sword arm shaking from the impact which he shrugs off. ]
no subject
What took you so long?
[He questions with a toothy grin before leaping into the fray again. Now that Bishop is keeping old blue eyes busy, Dante can finally get the jump on the youkai. He’s aware that he’s losing the momentum in this fight but he’s not done yet. When Bishop manages to wound the namahage again, Dante comes in from the far right sweeping his sword towards the monster’s legs. He manages to cut through the thick flesh of the youkai’s calf, causing more blood to spray upon the gold tiled floors. Dante cleaves right through the namahage’s leg seconds after it tosses Bishop backward causing the big bitch to fall.
The moment the namahage hits the floor, Dante scrambles on top of it. He grabs the hilt of the Devil Sword with both hands and stabs through the youkai’s chest with all his might piercing through both flesh and bone. He keeps stabbing as the youkai writhes in agony under him. It’s a harrowing sight but eventually, the overgrown beast stops moving.]
You better be dead, asshole.
[He swears as he wipes the sweat off his brow]
no subject
Bishop sauntered over, rubbing his arm before lifting and driving the katana through the mask and into its head. ]
No pulse.
[ He pulls out the blade and swung the blood and brain matter off the blade, clicking his tongue as he once more sees the blade is of poor poor quality. ]
Nice hustle, red coat. I'm called Bishop. You?
[ A commotion behind them gets his attention where the goons who were watching are now too scared to run or fight, instead choosing to cower in place and egging others to fight. ]
Really? Fellas, c'mon.
no subject
A cambion like him isn't supposed to have this kind of trouble. It's quite frustrating and a little embarrassing but at least he had decent back up.]
It's Dante and I hate this place. [He states with a dry chuckle. Jigoku-cho is putting him through the friggin ringer.] Okay, we better rendezvous with the others.
I'm willing to bet the boss man has something--[He trails off one he hears all the commotion nearby. It seems like the mercs in question are surrendering but others are debating whether to flee or not.]
So now you folks wanna behave, huh?
[Judging from the sarcasm in his tone, Dante isn't the least bit impressed. He yanks his sword out of the youkai's corpse before flicking the blood off much how Bishop did earlier. That is except purposely flicked the blood right towards those sniveling cowards.]
You've could've saved his life if you'd surrendered~
[He admonishes before giving Bishop a quick glance.]
Let's blow this popsicle stand and head to the lounge. I'm sure Toraguma and the others are headed there.
no subject
Yyyyeeaaahhhh...
[ He sheathed the katana with flourish and a twirl of the hand after picking up a stray scabbard. ]
About that.
[ He lead the way to the lounge, stopping at the closest group of yokai and then shuffling to scare them back before stepping past into the lavish lounge. Its just what one might expect from the VIP lounge of a tacky casino, modern decor, more gilded machines, and vintage gambling tables for that timeless feel. The only thing out of place is what Bishop is currently pointing at, the giant stainless steel door - heavy to look at, heavier to try to pry open, and an electric console to the side with the light shining above redder than Dante's coat. ]
I saw fatass run towards that before that namahage threw me across the world. Of course, it was open at the time.
[ And now its not. Can he figure out where he might have went? ]
no subject
A friggin' safe room?! [He exclaims once he follows where Bishop is pointing. Judging from the size and girth of that stainless steel door, it's probably a safe more than anything else. However, it could also serve as a panic room easily for their less than charitable client.]
For the love---Ugh!
[Dante hauls off and punches the nearest wall in a fit of absolute rage. While he might lack some of his demonic strength, the nice size crack in the wall speaks otherwise.]
no subject
[ The impression Bishop got was this guys was tough, but then seeing the number of goons he hired changed that to spineless rat. ]
C'mon, lets see if we can't crack it open. You can destroy the rest of this dump later.
[ He doesn't want to have to deal with an upset oni or hear any garbage about how a door stopped them.
He quickly starts going around the seam of the door, obviously finding it sealed tight with no gaps or distortions in the metal. ]
Dante.
[ He calls and points up to the security camera now pointed at them. ]
Smile for the camera.
no subject
Hindsight 20/20, I should've just shot the ugly bastard and dragged his corpse back to HQ. [He mutters bitterly. The big man upstairs behind the pearly white gates knows he would've done just that if he had the opportunity. It would've saved them the trouble.]
Camera? Huh, what--
[He trails off instantly once he sees the camera above. His first instinct is to shoot it but he stops himself from doing just that. Instead, he flexes before the camera and shows off his slightly fanged smile.]
Yo, Mister Casino Manager! Do you have a moment to speak with us about our lord and saviors Ebony & Ivory?
[This idiot cheekily wave his guns in front of the camera.]
They just wanna talk to you real quick!
no subject
Well, he's in there. By himself as far I can tell.
[ He moved from checking the door to the panel next to it, giving it the once over before checking the control pad. ]
This is pretty old school but effective, I suppose. Hmmmm...You don't suppose there's a tool box around here, do you?
[ He says looking around. Someone has a plan. ]
