MAIN NAVIGATION

1. WELCOMING COMMITTEE

cw: optional aphro in Tamamo Clan prompt

The influx of Lost Souls means the factions need to have a little welcoming party of sorts. The leaders of each faction each send a message to their new recruits, telling them to meet at their respective headquarters.

The Shuten Clan directs their new recruits to the Arena. There’s plenty of food and booze to go along with the exhibition matches from the toughest fighters they’ve got. Enjoy the view or get involved in an arena fight, if you’re feeling spicy. If bloodsport isn’t your cup of tea, there’s a number of gambling games to partake in, too – don’t worry, your money isn’t at stake here, unless you want it to be.

The Tamamo Clan recruits are sent to the brothel Mizukume. Hosts of all sorts are there to fill your every need. If you’re not one to be doted on, there’s also exotic dancers in every state of undress for you to look at. You may be tasked with being a host or a dancer yourself. If you’re not in the mood for that, there’s plenty of food from Tamamo-controlled restaurants to eat and seemingly endless drinks. The drinks may or may not have a little something extra in them, so check the labels carefully.

The Sutoku Alliance meets at the nightclub Konoha. It’s truly a celebration with an enormous amount of fast food from every joint in their district and an equal amount of cheap drinks. Sing your heart out with live band karaoke – don’t worry about them not knowing your song, they seem to have a depth of knowledge beyond this world. Once that settles down, there’s plenty of dancing to do or you can be a wallflower, whatever suits your mood.

The Department of the Enma meets at a meeting room on the top floor of Kaigo no Bou. The room is uncomfortably opulent and wouldn’t be out of place in a Heian imperial court. Fine silk tapestries cover the walls, richly lacquered wood is inlaid with gold, and it all feels like it was decorated by someone with more money than taste. There’s fine food and even finer drink available. Various multi-armed youkai play in a jazz band, playing their instruments in a much more complicated manner than strictly necessary. Stretch your legs and dance. Take a peek out the window for a bird’s eye view of the city. If the interior is too stuffy for you, escape to the roof for some fresh air – just be careful not to fall off.

2. PARTY TIME

CW: optional aphro

After everyone’s had their fill of food, drink, and entertainment: the party isn’t over. They’re told to make their way to Konoha with the instruction to show their faction’s pride. That’s a careful way to tell them to raise hell. Upon arrival, all recruits are provided with an advance on their pay by The Enma. Food is provided by the Shuten Clan, a variety of all sorts of meaty foods. Drinks are provided by the Tamamo Clan, but be wary because some may have that special Tamamo kick to them (read: aphro). It’s technically a neutral meeting place, but there’s almost certain to be a fight sooner or later. Entertain yourself, meet the other factions, and raise some Hell.

[stubboarn]

I mean, I do want it to be! There's no reason why we can't enjoy each other's company.

[ folds his arms disapprovingly over his chest. ]

I don't intend to invite anyone else, just you two.

[littleshield]

[ He allows a little huff to escape him at that. ]

Of course you would say something like that. So, what, you're going to suggest we do something like play party games or some nonsense?

[ ... ]

But, glad to hear that you won't make this anymore annoying than it'll already be. The last thing I need is to be crowded in some room with a bunch of fools that I've never met.

[stubboarn]

[ dimitri frowns. ]

I mean, if you want to? I'm not very good with them, but I can pick up a few if needed.

[ by 'party games' dimitri assumes they are board games, completely forgetting video games are a thing. anyway ]

I don't have a lot of friends here yet. But rest assured, once I meet them, I will introduce them to you. [ that's a threat ]

[littleshield]

[ Well, once the two of them learn video games are, in fact, a thing, there will be no such thing as peace.

Felix's focus has been on practical things and keeping his skills sharp even though they have just "arrived" not that long ago. ]

I never said that I wanted you to. But if you're going to go ahead and do it, I won't stop you. Just don't waste too much time.

[ One of these days Felix is going to stop being difficult. This day isn't one of them. ]

...I don't want to face a hoard of whoever decided to befriend a wild boar.

[stubboarn]

[ hmm. ]

If you're going to play with me, then I will put in extra effort to find something enjoyable.

[ yeah!!! yeah!!!!! playing with felix like felix understands what fun means -- ]

... I'm sure it'll be fine, Felix. It's just meeting people.

[littleshield]

[ Felix let's out a small scoff, turning away. He's prepared to already beat Dimitri and Yuri in whatever game this will be because what are playing those things only for the sake of only ~fun~. ]

I've already met enough people.

[ He says, like it's one of the worst things since being sent to Hell. ]

Let's just get going already. Grab some more meat and I'll meet you at the front.
