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: Sha Gojyo
Canon: Saiyuki
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown: Sha Gojyo is a cocky highfalutin punk with a seedy past and flirty tendencies. But deep down, he's a guy who pretty sternly follows his morals and is surprisingly empathetic to those he knows may need help.

Not so secretly ~~rather, he doesn't talk about it~~, he is a hanyou, a mix-breed youkai human hybrid. The signature traits of his heritage are his unnaturally bright red hair, crimson red eyes, and a strange gourd-like marking upon the back of his neck hidden by his hair. Given that he is a CRAU pull from Slumscape, he is also spiritually possessed by another full-blood youkai. Unabara no Akari is the old soul of a guardian amabie who once used to protect small Japanese port towns before dying and finding herself attached to the very surprised and very confused Gojyo.

She is pretty even-tempered and calm, although she thinks highly of herself and carries an air of vanity. She rarely makes herself known except under dire circumstances as she respects Gojyo's autonomy with how he helped her. But her possession is physically known through the blue scales covering his body, fin-like ears, and gills that go down his neck and rib cage. A mask fitting her appearance is usually found tied to the belt of his hip and is entwined with him. (If he loses his mask, he dies).

So really, he is one and a half youkai hiding in a somewhat human-looking meat sack.

In-game, Gojyo is just going with the flow of things. He spent his whole life growing up on the streets, and coming to Jigoku-Cho feels like returning to an old way of life for him. He's doing his best to keep out of any critical faction problems that are going on because he knows that standing out is the best way to land yourself in trouble stupidly.

He will most certainly enjoy the festivities and be peaking around the red-light district quite a lot, despite boss man Toraguma's chagrin.

That being said, he may be unwilling to end up in too much trouble just yet~.

Initial Ideas:

So there's been this incentive the Mods tossed at me a while back, an insinuation that Gojyo's ability to breathe underwater may unveil some valuable clues if he just so happens to explore the River Sanzu. And I am still one-hundred percent down for it and actively looking for a partner to go exploring with him! So if anyone wants to go with him, here's a guy that will help get you into some exciting escapades~

In terms of event stuff:

Hanami - Endless food and drinks are the best way to get Gojyo interested in an event short of having cute girls to hang around. So he will most certainly be around to enjoy the cherry blossoms as they fall. He may jump headfirst into other people's shenanigans after he drinks enough. This fake kappa will have more than enough peace and love to go around~
Kanamura - Heck yeah, I'm down for inadvertently getting this perv drugged up! The more flirty, sexy shenanigans, the better~ Gojyo is recuperating from a near five-year dry spell after being stuck with four men on a long road trip for nearly three of those years. So he eagerly wants to see if he still has his mojo back.
Hadaka - Gojyo would avoid the race like the plague under normal circumstances. As much as he wouldn't mind seeing a cute girl running nude through the streets, it also comes with many naked men. And he knows his terrible luck of inadvertently getting roped into situations like this. That being said he is robust and durable and has legs long enough to outrun many people. So if someone wishes to rope him into it- go for it!
Sumo - This Gojyo is 100% down for! You would think with his avoidance of the
Hadaka would equally stay away from this. But the thing is that Enma runs the Hadaka while his boss runs the Sumo, so yeah- Also, he is confident with his years of fighting experience to think he'd own it in an arena setting such as this. Also.
He likes money.
Food Runners - Yet another thing Gojyo would be down to do! Small helpful tasks around town to make a quick buck are something he's not opposed to, and the fact that it's considered a bit of a challenge only insights into his naturally competitive nature. That being said, he gets dissuaded quickly and is not the most straight-laced worker. But let's work hard together, yeah~?
Bathhouse Orgy - Gojyo is hyped to know the bathhouses are open for use to the public. Gojyo is also going to be very, very surprised if he happens to find a casual orgy. Not that he's judging or anything. All of you can do all of you. Literally. (Hah) But Gojyo would be a little hesitant to take part. Not because he isn't into it. That's hot. But more because he still hasn't broken off from his dry spell. And he wants to make sure he's still got his skills going strong before just launching himself off into the fray. Not that he wouldn't have quite the conversation with anyone who would try to beckon him over to talk to him during it all. (Go on. Try to convince him. It would be interesting)
Floats - Truthfully, he would be more fascinated by the actual Japanese lore than he would be of the youkai side of it. He grew up in a life torn between both worlds and is used to hearing different perspectives from different sides. But having grown up in China, the Japanese lore and cultural differences would be fascinating.
Fireworks - Hey cool. Fireworks. Eh? Does magic make them? That's cool, he guesses. Truthfully considering the world he's from, Gojyo is immune to hearing about practical magic. It's fairly common in most youkai cultures, even back where he grew up. Why focus on the fireworks when he can focus on whoever he's watching them alongside???
The Assassination - As stated in the overview, Gojyo isn't one to play his hand so early in the plot and cause unnecessary trouble when he doesn't have to. The assassination won't mean much to him as it's primarily politics in his eyes, and he comes from previous worlds where death was a reasonably common occurrence. Who cares about another dead politician, yeah? It happens all the time. But if anyone during the parade should cross his path during it, he will not hesitate to take them down. After all, death is how things were back in both the previous worlds he had lived within. This event will also mean that he's more than happy to follow the rule of kill or be killed if anyone tries to attack him.
Anything else: Considering Gojyo comes from a canon that hits on some pretty intense subject matters here's his permissions and Opt-Out Page!
It also has a ton of information about him and the youkai possessing him, and what influences Slumscape had on his character.

Looking forward to the day he gets enough of his powers back so he can reawaken some of those transformation skills his youkai gave him.
Everyone needs a little bit of Mermaid Gojyo in their lives.
