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

Thank you!!!

Hey, just wanted to check in about this thread! I was expecting the fight portion to be a bit more involved/meaningful than it currently is as written, so I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do with it as is, since if they just failed to actually get much done together in that portion I'm kind of forced to end the thread in the next comment with Wei Wuxian storming off in frustation and leaving him there when he reaizes who he is, rather than their cooperating any more or actually getting anywhere more positive CR-wise. Is there anything particular you had in mind on Jin Guangyao's side for the aftermath to counterbalance that, or...?

[taintedpeony]

Ah, thank you for checking in. Yeah I wasn't too sure, it felt like a lot of things are happing fast and with JGY being fairly restricted as far as his powers go it would be harder for him to keep up for very long. I'm still getting used to the pace of this game and am floundering a bit orz.

Would Wei Wuxian be interested in helping the people who are there caught in the middle? I know that JGY is out there looking for Nie Huaisang who was still recovering from an injury, he could ask if he's seen him and express worry. If it ends up being a shorter thread that's fine too. I'm certain there will be future opportunities as well.

[laughitoff]

It's not that he's disinterested in helping the people caught in the middle, but the thread setup doesn't super work well for it right now; like I said, he's very likely to stomp off and do any further assisting of others on his own, and there's only so much I can do to tweak that while keeping him IC.

I'd rather avoid the NHS angle as well as I'm stuck in a timeline conundrum there -- the March thread where WWX would have asked NHS what was going on with him and JGY hasn't actually gotten to any IC discussion of the situation yet, so I absolutely don't know what he's supposed to know about them by this point other than 'they're rooming together for some reason?' and I don't want to make assumptions.

I'm going to try to stretch out the thread a couple more comments instead of just having him leave in the next comment and we can see if we can nudge it somewhere productive! But if it doesn't go there, then yeah, maybe we can try again later in the aftermath, or in May when it's (hopefully) less overwhelming. April faction stuff has just been a lot for everyone.

[taintedpeony]

That is totally understandable! And that works well enough.

Yeah, let's see where it goes, and then maybe next month we can plan for something else. I have no idea what will go down with all the Tamamo plotting so something in May may be better so the dust can settle in there. LMAO, It also gives the vibe of "ugh just got a hand from the worst person" which is honestly p funny IMO. And cr building is gonna be a long process for these guys regardless.
