jigokuooc | June 2022 Event Plotting

Here's a centralized post for plotting out for the event!

Here's a breakdown summary of every prompt on the event;
Bikinis - Characters who didn't have swimwear will be provided it, but they probably are gonna be on the skimpy/tacky side. Play out the embarrassment, or total lack of shame.
Shuten Clan - Shuten activities revolve around volleyball, surfing, shoulder chicken, barbeque, and drinking contests
Tamamo Clan - Tamamo activities involve a wet t-shirt contest, tiki bar, and water gun fights.
Sutoku Alliance - Sutoku activities involve frisbee games, jet skis, and underwater shenanigans
Department of the Enma - Department officers are expected to take short shifts on lifeguard duty, but in exchange get free food and drinks!
Bonfire - A free-for-all happy hour to get out the last of one's revelries before the shit hits the fan..
Cursed City - This is the big one. The containment facility the haniwa were being stored in was compromised, releasing a massive wave of cursed energy into the city all at once from Kaigo no Bou. Captain Shiki is trying to maintain order, but chaos is breaking out everywhere. Faction leaders will do what they can to protect their people, as well.

The curse energy turns Jigokucho into more of an actual hell. Blood rain, massive hauntings, frenzy inducing energy all around. Nightmares from characters own canons can and will manifest, pulled right from their worst fears and dreads.

This will be in effect for the month until a) players manage to find a solution on their own or b) a mod written ending comes about, but either way, you're free to play with this setting change all month.

We do not plan for it to last longer than this month.

Fill the form below and get to sharing plotting ideas for the event!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Character Name: Soo Won
Canon: Akatsuki no Yona
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown:

Soo Won is a murderer with good intentions that hides his secret cunning behind a friendly carefree attitude. He is the young king of Kouka kingdom and he murdered the previous king to stop the country from falling apart under the King Il, the previous king's weak rule. He is the main antagonist in the series but he is a better king and truly cares for his people, despite being a murderer. There is very little that he will not do for his kingdom.

Initial Ideas: Soo Won is also getting a toplevel but hopefully a smaller one than Sheliak's.

The beach part is going to be separated into two parts. One for Soo Won, and one for Miyako, the yokai inside of Soo Won from slumscape.

Musical Performances - Soo Won offered to help provide music for the event so he going to have a small stage set up near the tiki bar for any Tamamo musicians that are interested in performing. (I meant to make a network post with Soo Won looking for fellow musicians but I completely forgot, sorry orz. If you are interested, feel free to say that Soo Won reached out to them somehow.)

After the intial set up Soo Won will become scarce and he will be replaced by Miyako as the musician in red. Soo Won and Miyako have started to create a reputation as the musician in red, a mysterious musician in a red kimono who vanishes after every performance, ever since they arrived in Jigokucho. Soo Won wanted to give Miyako something that wasn't tied to him so he dresses up as a woman for her performances, and he always leaves right after her performance to maintain the illusion.

Miyako will be performing on her (haunted) shamisen. The shamisen has a mind of it's own but it mostly behaves because Miyako has threatened to lock it away to gather dust instead of being played if it doesn't. If you want to play with the haunted aspect of the instrument though, I would love to! It get really competitive towards other instruments and musicians, particularly non traditional ones, as it feels like these young upstarts are trying to take their place. Miyako is a bit more open to new styles of music but she can be influenced by the shamisen as well and musical competitions are the only time they get along.

After Miyako is done performing she is going to try to slip away before anyone notices. If you want to try to catch the mysterious musician in red or stumble on Soo Won suspiciously soon after she disappears, feel free!

Beach Shenanigans - Since the main focus is Miyako's performance this time around, I plan on tagging out with Soo Won for the other beach activities. He will be making his presence known wherever he can to draw attention away from his disappearance in the first part.

Cursed City - As a slumscapee, the blood rain is going to bring back a lot of bad memories for Soo Won. Luckily he had an scare with the blood rain earlier with the haniwa so he won't be as taken off guard but it won't make the trauma go away. So he's going to do what he always does when he's distressed about something, bury himself in work so he doesn't have time to think about his personal feelings. He has a lot of experience with hallucinations due to his time in Hakagemachi, so he will be trying to help others who are suffering from hallucinations as much as he can.

That said I do want to give Soo Won a few nightmares so he will be seeing dead versions of his friends, Hak and Yona, as if he succeeding in killing them instead of them running away, ruins of his kingdom, and for some fun slumscape trauma, reflections of him as a lifeless puppet tied to Miyako's strings. (the last nightmare will have some akatsuki no yona spoilers as it ties directly to a secret of Soo Won's.)

Speaking of Miyako, she is getting her own nightmares too! Soo Won is going to lose conscious at some point and Miyako is going to take control. (this part may also have akatsuki no yona spoilers)

Miyako's nightmares are going to be corruption and a fear of fire. Miyako has a lot of resentment towards humans who never accepted her for the Jorogumo she really is, and yet, she can't help but love the creative potential of humans and the beautiful things they create. Until the last part of slumscape, Miyako didn't have all of her memories so she still had her naïve bright view towards humans, although she felt a bit uneasy towards them but she didn't know why. Now that she remembers how she was rejected, and that her last human lover trapped her in a burning building, which is why she's mute, she's extremely bitter. She didn't have a lot of time to come to terms with her old memories before coming to Jigokucho so what better way to confront her rage than with cursed energy feeding into it. Miyako will see everyone as humans who fear and reject her and she will not take kindly to that at all. If the humans want a monster, she will give them one. (I need to check if Soo Won has enough points for a reward to see if Miyako will have her illusions or not for this event)

An important note about Miyako is that she is mute and she communicates with telepathic music and emotions that can be heard and felt by the people around her, unless she specifically hides her conversations with Soo Won. Soo Won also calls Miyako Yin when he is talking about her to other people. The true names of the yokai inside them held real power in slumscape so Soo Won purposely hides her true name.

Anything else: Here are Soo Won's permissions and opt out.

And here is a little something to consider for the wet t-shirt contest
