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.

needling
[bloodplay fetish and all that...Hazel can think of more than a few Shuten oni she's encountered who'd probably get pretty worked up over the sight of a blood-dotted worker. on the other hand, that's probably not the vibe that even the Tamamo are going for in the Night Parade. she wanders closer, eyes flicking from some of the stained pieces to what she can see of Monts' hands from this angle.]
They didn't give you a thimble or anything like that?
no subject
[Monts waves her hand in the air as if trying to dry up the parts where she poked herself with the needle.]
I didn't see a thimble around so I didn't ask for one. Probably should have though.
no subject
[what about all those baby fetishists out there, Monts? think of their feelings!
thankfully Hazel keeps that topic permanently stalled out right there, opting to address the matter (quite literally) at hand rather than walk down a dark path. she frowns a bit, somewhere between thoughtful and a bit annoyed. if you weren't going to protect yourself against the inevitable stabbings then at least be a little more careful, right? ...but that's in the past too, she supposed.]
Mean, this is kind of what they're supposed to fucking keep from happening and all.
[her hands disappear into her jacket pocket to check the contents, resulting in a small shake of her head. not like she's really providing anything more useful to the situation here.]
...I've only got suture thread on me. You ok to wait a sec while I grab something better or do you wanna make one of the holes big enough to sew shut?
[ah - fuck. that's not the kind of suggestion normal people made, but it slipped out before she could stop herself. was it really becoming second nature to her now? the thought makes her sick.]
no subject
[For someone who's stabbed herself with a needle, her reaction time for her immediate well-being is super delayed. Hazel's suggestion IS odd, but for Monts who had experienced many strange things and people at the cafe, it doesn't register completely.]
Maybe just scrap cloth from the pile might work? I don't think any of them are gonna be that miffed if it's used as a makeshift bandage.
Usually, it heals up faster than this, but I guess working with less cards in my deck.
no subject
One probably won't kill them even if they're looking to use the scraps later.
[even so, she picks what she feels is the ugliest color from the little pile before gesturing for Monts' hand to wrap it up.]
Can you feel any of it?
[conversational, if a bit prying. sue her, she's curious.]
no subject
[It comes out a little more curt than she wanted it to sound. Shaking her head, Monts sighs and allows Hazel to wrap up her fingers, holding out her hand rather lazily.]
Well, that's just how it always is. Whatever's dampened our usual skillset didn't think to give me any pain sensitivity.
[If she can talk about it casually, it would make the other type of hurt lessen and there would be no need to make such a big deal out of it.]
So I just gotta be more mindful than usual.
no subject
Place is fucking weird. It did the complete opposite to me.
[it's not something she's too keen to discuss as a rule, but the odd reversal is remarkable enough that Hazel decides to make a bit of an exception. humans could feasibly have abilities like that, depending on the world.]
no subject
[Monts wiggles her fingers, frowning lightly, not at the job that Hazel did, but at the thought of the invisible leash they all have around their necks. The depowering is just one form of that, the contracts, another.]
Mind if I ask what you were equipped with before it was taken away presumably?
no subject
My shit really doesn't heal all the way, but I don't bleed and I can't feel anything. Probably a little more durable than the regular person if you get into the nitty-gritty.
[she waves her own hand, kind of dismissively.]
Still don't fucking bleed, but now I can fucking feel it. What's the use in shit like that?
no subject
That's...
[Her feelings are complicated, to say the least.]
So you're saying you have pain sensitivity? Because you're depowered?
[
Why you and not meNo, don't play around with thoughts like that, don't think about why it's different for her.Monts purses her lips.]
I guess we all got a tradeoff somehow, huh?
no subject
[it doesn't do anything about the fact that the food still has nowhere to go once she eats it, but much like Monts she refuses to dwell on that right now. the present situation is more than she could have ever hoped for, and it would be selfish to want more.
...she's selfish by nature, of course. but she won't think about it.]
It's not as much as a regular person would have, but you take what you can fucking get, right?
[she snorts, humorless.]
Not like we've got a choice.
