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

oh, I love some of the Hanami plot stuff. I would love to play any of those. JGY is Slumscape CRAUed and wouldn't have expected to run into LWJ again and maybe eyeing his lack of cat ears.

He would probably advise him against giving them too much blood??? Let me know if you have any preferences. The dumber the better I think lol.

Or if you wanna do something serious JGY will be helping people get to safety in the chaos. He doesn't have any of his powers but will be doing what he can.

Ha, I actually topleveled so we have something non-theoretical to discuss now! AS YOU CAN SEE I did end up writing up prompts for both the safety trees and the assassination nonsense. I'm game for either thread!

THAT SAID Lan Wangji's most recent memory of Jin Guangyao's impact on his life is "listening to him give the speech about marching on the Burial Mounds at Nightless City, right before all the Nightless City Events Occurred." Then Lan Xichen let him know that Jin Guangyao led the Jin forces on the Burial Mound siege against Wei Wuxian on the occasion of Wei Wuxian using Self-Destruct like the world's most frustrating Pokemon capture target, so, you know. He's not going to suddenly attack him or anything, but his :| face is decidedly going to be on the >:| side! His canon point is right after Wei Wuxian's death, so he's pretty sore in general.

Whatever you want to play with that context is good by me!

Hey there! I'm just checking in on some plans, since it's been a couple of weeks -- let me know if you're still interested in figuring something here out!

[taintedpeony]

Hi! I'm so sorry I've been meaning to tag in. Then the Tamamo plot punched me in the face and I'm floundering a little bit. I may have him come by and either ask if he can play with him, he has the Guqin that LXC gave him and had been keeping up with it.

[strikingchords]

Hm! Since it sounds like you've been messing around with Tamamo plot, would you prefer to tag into Lan Wangji playing as an entertainer to gather information after the event on my 3a prompt (club life), instead? Jin Guangyao could either be there alone and also trying to pick up information, or with a group of other members of Tamamo.

I'm just thinking about what circumstances will lead to Lan Wangji being most likely to treat Jin Guangyao civilly lol. In that one, he's specifically trying to pick up information about other factions' plans after all the assassination nonsense went down, so if Jin Guangyao asked the proprietor or Lan Wangji if they could play a set together as part of Lan Wangji's performance, Lan Wangji would be way more motivated to go along with it -- and also to listen to what Jin Guangyao had to say about any Tamamo developments afterwards. Plus it has the bonus of being a little more forward on the calendar.

But, if you'd rather stick with the original Hanami prompt, we could still give that one a try! It might just be harder to make a lot of progress with it.

[taintedpeony]

That actually works so much better for me plot-wise! He would want to gather as much information as he can as well since it looks like he and Huaisang are helping a lot with the strategy stuff.

Yes, let's go with that. He'll approach both Wangji and the club owner and ask if he can play a set with him. He would want to know what Sutoku is up to in the aftermath of all of that as well. I'll drop in a tag.

[strikingchords]

Sounds great to me!

[taintedpeony]

let me know if that works!

[strikingchords]

Oops, thought I hit "reply" on this one -- it works fine!
