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: Hinata Tatsugami
Canon: Original
Faction: Shuten Clan
Brief Rundown: Orphan turned death pit fighter turned supernatural yakuza member, Hinata Tatsugami is from a fictional district in an alternate Japan where the yakuza has more power thanks to individuals with superpowers being accepted in their ranks. He's recently been assigned to deliver a mute woman to the highest bidder since she has a power that could destroy the world. Buuut he ends up running off with her, wanting her to live a happy life instead.

Initial Ideas:

Hanami: Hinata is definitely going to be feeling the effects of the food. So instead of the slightly rude, resting bitch faced man that he always is... Hinata will be giving out love confessions! He probably has no idea who your character even is if they are in different factions but he'll admit his love for them nonetheless.

Kanamura: Hinata will probably be seen collapsed to his knees at the nearest stall, staring at the poor treat with a look of absolute terror on his face. He's convinced that it's actually cursed and, somehow, him taking a bite will end with his own junk being destroyed. You can feel free to approach him, or maybe he'll end up approaching you and smacking it out of your hand to save your life.
Anything else: Permissions, opt-outs, shitposting, etc.

Sumo: Since he lives in an alternate Japan, and tends to completely ignore most rules when explained to him, you can expect to see Hinata being held down by his fellow Shuten members for supposedly breaking the rules and making a fuss about how it's totally fair game to punch a guy out of an arena with his powers. You can feel free to try to help him out or maybe even join in to give him a good scolding.

Floats: Hinata will help out. Expect some deep insight on how cruel humans can be from him. He can actually relate to the yokai with this.

Assassination: RIP BEST BOY. For the first part of this prompt, I'm going to have Hinata immediately in protective mode because he doesn't know whoever assassinated Daitengu may be going after Shuten next. So, expect him to grab his fellow shuten members to join him in his search for the boss. For another prompt, I'm going to have him actually be down in the dumps about Daitengus death since he's associated with tengu and takes it personally. Then he's gonna start theorycrafting over what it was that happened. Feel free to join him on a little side investigation without Shuten's knowledge!

Anything else: Permissions and everything else can be found on my journal! Gonna try to develop some CR with others this month just to get some solid connections in!

Hi! I really enjoyed Hinata's and Sheliak's first meeting and I would love more with him. Sheliak is going to be hit with the loving feelings at the Hanami too. Sheliak becomes a completely different person when he's with someone he loves, showing his hidden imperfect self, if you are curious what's underneath his arrogant air of nobility.

Sheliak is also participating in the sumo competition and he would definitely scold Hinata about breaking the rules. Hinata's insight about the cruelty of humans would be interesting. Sheliak was born human but he transformed into something else when he was sixteen so he feels connected to both sides but he also has his own experience with cruel humans that he has a hard time accepting.

Sheliak would be very interested in a side investigation about the Daitengu's assasination. His old noble paranoia will make it very difficult for him trust anyone so he would agree with a secret investigation with a fellow clan member.

I would love to see more of them too! I finally ended up finishing up my post for the event so feel free to pick whichever one you like!

The Float prompt and the investigation prompt feels like it would be fun to play out between the two of them but I'm up for any of them!

Great! I think the Float prompt would be really fun! I'll tag your toplevel soon.
