April Event Plotting

[jigokumods]

MAIN NAVIGATION

We realize we're doing this sort of backwards, but after some discussion and requests from players, we figure it's better late than never for a centralized plotting post for the event! Again, apologies for our growing pains, but we hope y'all are understanding.

Here's a breakdown summary of every prompt on the event;

Hanami The Sutoku Alliance has arranged for spectral cherry blossom trees for flower viewing, offering all kinds of food and drink to enjoy. The foods tend to be "enhanced" with peace/love inducing feelings, but they don't have to be. The spectral trees are a little creepy, if examined too closely.

Kanamura The Tamamo's foods from the mini-event are back, and are taking all kinds of cheeky forms. Sexy foods, but do not strictly need to lead to sexy times.

Hadaka - The Department of the Enma is allowing a naked endurance race, folks packed together in basically nothing, chasing after a mobile shrine and trying to grab luck sticks. Ostensibly it's for blowing off steam. May actually generate steam.

Sumo - The Shuten Clan is hosting sumo fights, and rules are expected to be followed. Shuten representatives are also expected to win any match they participate in, less they lose some pay. The prizes for winning are special sake gourds that enhance the flaovor of any drink contained within.

Food Runners - Need extra cash? Do some food running, with some extremely difficult to manage delivery gear. But the pay's good!

Bathhouse Orgy - As promised, the Tamamo have opened up their bathhouses on the route up for free-for-all fuckin'. All manner of kinks will be provided for, and some of the bathhouses will have transparency glamours cast on them to allow shows to be put on. This is the horniest prompt, by far.

Floats - Help carry elaborate lantern floats depicting huge dioramas of famous mythological events throughout Japan's history, though the depicted heroes and villains seem to be reversed...

Fireworks - Explains itself, but the fireworks are especially fantastic since they're largely created by magic, rather than simply pyrotechnics.

The assassination - The Daitengu will be assassinated in the outcome of the underground machine causing a massive cloud of steam to flood the entire parade route. Panic will ensure, and black-suited youkai will clash with the White Wolf Guard, eventually succeeding in killing the Daitengu

Hizen Tadahiro | Shuten

Character Name: Hizen Tadahiro
Canon: Touken Ranbu
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown:

Hizen is a prickly sword spirit that used to belong to one of Japan's most infamous assassins. He's open about the fact that he's a killer and while he's not exactly proud of it, he also thinks that's all he has going for him. He's blunt, direct, has little patience for people, and is rough around the edges. Sprinkle in some low self-esteem, self-worth issues, and the fact that he considers himself more of a tool than a person and you understand Hizen enough.

He does have good points like being a hard worker and the fact that he genuinely wants to be good (he just doesn't know how). The only thing that really makes him happy is eating and drinking and he has a bottomless stomach to go along with it.

Initial Ideas:

❀ Hizen didn't come here to make friends. He came here to eat food and drink. Hizen will actually, really be in a good mood for the start of the festival. The calming effects help... but food just genuinely makes him feel good.

❀ Honestly, he's avoiding a lot of the festivities because he's not social... someone drag him to things. Bully him, please. He's very easy to bully.

❀ He's going to get thrown out the Shuten sumo ring and eat more food to feel better.

❀ LET HIZEN FIGHT. Hizen might be depowered but he's,
      1. A natural assassin and skilled fighter
      2. Specializes in fighting in low visibility (dark, fog, smoke, etc)
      3. Specializes in fighting in small/crowded places
      4. Basically, he's in his element here.

❀ Hizen is going to try to chase the assassins down and get shot because guns > swords. He'll power through it out of pure spite and adrenaline but it'll catch up with him. Until then, Hizen is going to do that thing he does when he gets seriously injured and goes feral. His priority will be trying to track down the assassins but if anyone comes for him in the chaos... Hizen only attacks to kill or critically injure. Feel free to try and calm him down/stop him from hecking up someone from one of the other factions in self-defense???

❀ Since he's going to have a bad time during all the fighting... heal, please. He'll hate it and be a difficult patient but it's a good chance to let Hizen reveal the fact that he hates hates hates being a weak loser and has some issues.

❀ I might limit those last 2 ideas to a certain number of people for narrative reasons but I am open to all CR come at me

Anything else: also tell me to go tf to bed please

GO TF TO BED

Anyway Natori had so much fun sparkling at Hizen last time that he's happy to find him at the festival to do it again

[harimaya]

ITS THE GUY WHO THINKS HE'S SPECIAL... exhausting. Please find him at the festival. He isn't sharing any of his snacks.

[paperpusher]

You can keep the snacks, Hizen, it's okay

[harimaya]

ALSO SLIDES BACK IN HERE TO SAY i just saw you’re plotting comment and I’m going to yeet a plurk friend request ur way…

Please give Hizen a dickpop and a bad pick up line.

Or we could do float things if u want and have you know. Exorcist vs spirit talk about what the floats look like.

[paperpusher]

Me waking up in the middle of the night to accept and then going back to sleep...

I'm extremely attached to the idea of gifting Hizen a dickpop and a pickup line, not least because it sounds like Hizen might be more chill with snackies

[harimaya]

IT WOULD BE FUNNY... he'd look at it and be like this comic (nsfw).

Food is food though and if he's given it, he's going to eat it no matter what.

[breweries]

SHYLOCK WILL REWARD HIM GREATLY OK don't worry. literally shoot the shit w him at the game stalls it's aight

[harimaya]

GIVE HIM DRINK GIVE HIM SNACK also watch Hizen get surprisingly competitive over games he will? Have fun?

And maybe check in on Shylock after the event too. its not like he cares or anything.

[breweries]

tenkohime entrusted shylock to make the perfect cocktail for the occasion and by god he WILL give hizen some. also watching hizen take games seriously is super endearing?? along with not-fretting over shylock after the fiasco this wizard will conclude that he is what the humans call "gap-moe"

[harimaya]

He knows how to have fun. He can have fun too... Leave his gap moe alone.

[littleshield]

If you need someone to try to stop him from being overly feral, I'll be glad to toss Felix in his general direction even if he'll be prickly about it so who knows how that'll go but hey maybe it'll work out??

[harimaya]

CRAWLS BACK TO RP...

Yes, please. I know we're already threading but I love Felix stumbling right into Hizen's triggers. Good job, Felix. Luckily, Hizen is more tired and depressed than violence and rage so Felix will definitely make some progress.
