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

Player Name: Eric
Contact: kokichi, rideaux#7246 - ok to add, just let me know who you are if it isn't obvious from your profile!

Character Name: Mael Stronghart
Canon: The Great Ace Attorney
Faction: Enma
Brief Rundown: Chief justice of London circa 1900 and anti-crime hardass who wants everything to run perfectly but is always late to everything himself and quickly drops things that don't interest him.

Initial Ideas: He held a faction meeting shortly before the event (here!) to try to coordinate their efforts to maintain order and stop potential criminals, but lmao THAT SURE DIDN'T WORK OUT HUH

Hanami: He'll look around here a little, since he's heard plenty about the cherry blossoms in Japan and figures he might as well see what the fuss is about. He's always more interested in utility than aesthetics so it really isn't his thing, but the refreshments will warm him up to the display and to any potential company a bit! He is not a romantic person by any stretch of the imagination so it could be fun to play with that a little.

Kanamura & Hadaka Matsuri: He is not engaging in either of these and will just be standing by to keep things under control and frown judgmentally. He's not really that much of a prude, he just thinks this shit is ridiculous.

Floats: Honestly if there's a good one themed around bird youkai he might ride along on that for a while and strike some dramatic poses... in order to keep a closer eye on the parade for any potential trouble, of course.

Assassination: lmao HE'S JUST GOING TO BE SO FUCKING PISSED THAT THIS HAPPENED AFTER ALL HIS PLANNING... He's not a fighter himself, so he's just going to be shoving his way through crowds and being generally unhelpful as he tries to gather information about the situation.

Anything else: Permissions can be found here! I did like, nothing all month so I'm trying to get more involved now!!

HMMM, I cannot quite decide what I want to suggest, so I am putting both of these thoughts out here:

1. I think it'd be fun for making future CR more awkward and complicated to have a refreshment-induced mellow conversation at the Hanami where hostility becomes more like... maudlin? I don't have the word I need here but you get the gist, I hope.

Or maybe 2. an aftermath of the assassination thread? I think we did decide they live in the same apartment complex, so having them run into each other on the way home when the dust has (quite literally) settled could be fun!

[perfectlytimed]

Ooh... I think we could do 1 on the actual event log, and then maybe work something with the second one in later in a normal monthly catchall or something since that wouldn't necessarily have to be immediately afterward!

We do also just need to do awkward apartment hallway shit lmao

[dehallow]

That is true on all counts!! I am planning to hopefully get an event toplevel up later tonight, so! Aftermath is probably better anyway when we have an idea of how during-event threads went for both of us...

And yeah... I just need them running into each other after grocery shopping. Catch van Zieks with his instant noodles of shame that he wants nobody to know about...

[perfectlytimed]

I KEEP MEANING TO MAKE A NETWORK POST ASKING FOR COOKING ADVICE i need to actually do that soon

[dehallow]

YES; GOOD.

The real thing that makes them reconcile is giving up and pooling their money to hire a cook--- no.

[perfectlytimed]

god how fucking funny would that be though

also i feel like i should note that natalia posted that last comment by laying back and pressing her head down on my laptop so i was just like well ok i guess that's all i'm saying

[dehallow]

Natalia's only priority is the documentary "Great British Cooking Failures" and she is right about this

[perfectlytimed]

yeah.............

anyway yes I will totally hit up your toplevel with that when it's up then!! can't wait for them to keep getting varying levels of aphro'd together over the coming months so that shit just keeps getting more awkward and terrible

[perfectlytimed]

god ACTUALLY THE APARTMENTS REMIND ME we need to find some poor soul who wants to be stuck in between their rooms lmfao

[dehallow]

WE REALLY DO, we should put our feelers out for some poor Enma

and toplevel is up!
