jigokuooc | April Event Plotting

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

Character Name: Sheliak Saarela
Canon: Original Character
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown: Sheliak is one of eight people in his world blessed with magic. The magic transformed him into a being made of pure magic energy wrapped in an echo of his human side. Due to his magic being sealed, he is more human now than he has been in years. He's a noble that has dedicated his life to being the perfect son and heir for his family. He strives to be the best at everything, relying on his determination and skill instead of his family name. Because of his fierce loyalty to the Saarela family, Sheliak sees his own desires as secondary and imperfect. They should be kept hidden and he's especially careful about doing anything would damage his perfect image.

Initial Ideas: I was so slow last month but I want to make up for it with this event. In general Shelaik isn't used to having fun really so he will need people to drag him into the festivities. Help him live a little!

Hanami - Shelaik's favorite get away spot was a garden so he will be drawn to the cherry blossoms. He's from a desert world and he has never seen cherry blossoms before. You might catch a glimpse of his hidden side if you are lucky. After learning of the Tamamo's nefarious plan to drug the Shuten fighters, Sheliak is going going to avoid drinking when he can. Getting him drugged with the love induced feelings despite being careful is too good to pass up and I want to play with his conflicted feelings about liking men more. Being wit another man was forbidden back home, but Sheliak broke his rule of never risking hurting the family name with a secret lover. He opens up a ton when he's with someone he loves. Usually he stays closed off until he's really close to someone but if you want to see a sneak peak of what Sheliak is really like, this is a great opportunity for that, as long as you stay in the grove. Sheliak will adamantly pretend nothing happened as soon as it wears off.

Sumo - I am both excited and intimidated by the sumo matches. My stubborn fool promised Toraguma that he wouldn't disappoint him so he will be competing. Shelaik doesn't go into anything blindly if he can avoid it so he did his research and trained for the match. He's tired of everyone thinking he is just a pretty face so he's using the match to send a message. For this to work, I want him to win against an oni from his clan. I'm not thinking a huge one, but large enough that it's a surprise when he manages to use their strength against them to win.

This is the only fight I have set in stone. Sheliak is not a sumo fighter in the slightest. For the first fight, he was counting on his opponent underestimating him. He knows he can't keep it up but he's also arrogant enough to want to try regardless and then fail miserably.

He's a smart fighter who makes up for his weakness's by exploiting his opponent's. He refused to give his enemies an opening if they caught him without his sword so he learned self defense and unarmed combat and like everything else, he didn't settle for anything less than excellent. I'm not sure how much research I will be able to do for the sumo fights and I'm still getting the hang of fight scenes but if anyone wants to fight him, please do! Someone needs to throw him out of the ring. Failing is an important lesson for him.

Tamamo vs Shuten - I love the clan rivalry between these two! (I need to get back to Tenkohime's post. Sorry I'm slow orz) After he loses, Sheliak will push aside his injured pride and focus on making sure the matches are kept fair, without the influences of foxes.

He learned about the Tamomo plan to drug the fighters and while he is used to underhanded methods, it makes him extremely competitive when someone threatens his clan. So he's out fox hunting. He discreetly suggested bringing more alcohol from within Shuten territory as a way to show more clan pride and he's on the lookout for anything suspicious. He will also refuse any Tamamo that tries to seduce him, as well as try to distract other Shuten members so they don't fall for them. Shuten is winning this clan pride competition, not Tamamo.

Assassination - Sheliak is going to chase after the assassins and get shot in the process. He avoided injury in the Casino fight because I was slow last month so I'm making him suffer a bit. I want to play with him adjusting to not being able to heal. He's also going to get lost in the steam if anyone wants to play with that.

If you want to drag Sheliak to other parts of the festival, feel free! The prompts above are just what he would be interested in. I'm open to other shenanigans.

Anything else: His Permissions, and opt out are here.

i love that shuten was sort of right about sheliak being a noble. she's definitely the teasing and the partying type so! even if he genuinely dislikes shuten by the end of their first meeting she'll probably still try to drag him into some fun if you want

that said i love the idea of sheliak trying to pull shuten away from the more salacious corners of the festivals just to have her demand he entertain her instead. she's a handful, this one.

that, or, since she knows he's a clanmate, she can try helping him out after he's been shot! she's just, uh, a little rough with her love, being an oni and all.

Hi! All of these options are great! Please tease him! Even if Sheliak dislikes Shuten at the end of their first meeting, she is a part of his clan so he will very reluctantly put up with her. He also misses having companions even if he thinks he doesn't need them.

I love the idea of Sheliak trying to pull Shuten away from the salacious parts of the festival and having to entertain her. The things he does for his clan.

Sheliak is used to healing faster so he will be terrible about taking time to recover if you want to do something with him being injured after.
