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

Hello, hello!

Huaisang would definitely be continuing to help out at the shop. He had quite a few ideas for how to approach spicing up the designs. A big thing he wanted to introduce was loosening up the rectangular shape of a kimono, cutting the fabric to be looser and more free flowing like hanfu while retaining kimono patterns. He rather likes kimono patterns and finds them rather fascinating and inspirational so he'd be putting out hanfu with similar designs using artistic symbolism from China instead.

He'd also want to experiment with different fabrics, sheerer and more diaphanous ones for sexy-ing up an outfit. Like his general intent there would be to hint at the body without putting it on full display. (After all, why put the body on full display for customers who haven't paid yet? Entice them, whet their appetites for more than just a glimpse, etc.

I think he also might introduce the idea of using clothing to infer rank and individual success since he's from a time when fashion was very tied to hierarchal roles. He'd be suggesting things like marketing the fancier and more elaborate designs toward the most popular hosts and courtesans, motivate them to work harder for the best stuff by making them extra expensive.

He'd also suggest offering matching accessories to go with the outfits, making them part of a bundled set so some couldn't be purchased separately. I think if he could find the materials to do, he'd probably paint matching fans to coordinate with different outfits. He had a lot of ideas for the tailors, fashion nut and ruthless mastermind that he is, lol.

Again, sorry for the delay! I needed to look up some stuff and think on this a bit first before getting back to you!

Whoah, thank you for such a detailed response! These are all really cool ideas and good to know. Yizhi will probably have bought a couple of mid-tier hanfu-kimono mixes for general wear- he’d set his eye on one of the more elaborately-patterned ones but probably have to save up for it since those are being marketed as high-end. Maybe he’ll buy it after I manage to cash in a rank-up? I like the idea of pushing the fashion-signals-rank thing a lot.

Anyway, thanks again for humoring me! See you around in the game o/
