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.

Character Name: Marianna "Monts" Medina
Canon: Original Character
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown:

Just a young woman who has something weird under her skin that makes her not human. Lacks a sense of pain, has super strength, and can heal from the most fatal of injuries. The long and short of it is, is Monts can probably be considered some sort of cryptid/eldritch creature who is in a continuous existential crisis. Monts hides this by appearing friendly, flirtatious, and serene. Does in fact, have moments where she's not totally cool, but you usually wouldn't know about it. Probably a light sadist. Also, a good barista.

Her time in Jigokucho has been pleasantly chaotic, sometimes not great. Though she is without a lot of her strength or enhanced healing, Monts has been making do as a member of the Tamamo working as a charming hostess and generally getting along with those in her own faction and others. That said, the haniwa's effects have not been great for her mentally.

Initial Ideas:

Monts loves the beach, she's from the general SoCal area after all. She'll be having fun wielding a water gun filled with sake so WATCH OUT.

Basically, I'll tag out with her during fun beach times, especially around the bonfire!

But during the cursed city she will be having a time... The haniwa had already given her visions of her not!dead body and what Monts hates the most is feeling helpless and not being able to feel and do anything for herself. Her nightmare is her own self and if they're gonna manifest, this might be a good chance for her an illusion of her monster form to be seen? But it'll be an extremely vague sort of visage, but she's not gonna have a great time, either way,

I may not be top-level for any of these things, so I'll work with other people if I wanna incorporate any of the above points! ALSO I would love to do random tagouts to IC inboxes during Cursed City, I think that would be fun!

Anything else: I do have a Permissions Post that I still need to fill out, but blanket Content Warning w/ mentions of body horror due to her not being able to feel pain. I think that's all!

Character Name: Azem
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown: Ancient nearly god-like being that is not so nearly god-like right now. They're the type to look out for others and do what they can to help where needed.

Initial Ideas: Azem has a nice swimsuit thanks to Ydris' aid (art thanks to Pine) so they won't have to suffer the left overs.

They are absolutely down for volleyball and the wet t-shirt contest. Honestly, they're down to goof off with any games going on. They'll probably want to cuddle around the bonfire if they can find someone that wants to.

When the blood rain starts they're going to go into crisis mode. They will likely try to find and protect Ydris from it because they don't want their favorite candle to be snuffed out. They won't be too happy about otherwise feeling useless, they want to be helpful.

As for nightmare-related things, the End of Days is pretty much as nightmarish as it gets for Azem. Creation magic running amok, creating terrifying monsters that only desire to devour all life in their path. Fire raining from the sky. Just total destruction of life all around. There may also be some manifestations of other ancients not looking so great because the worst case scenario for their friends has popped into their mind more than once (also there's the fate of Azem's dearest friend).

Anything else: Permissions

Ibaraki

[bananaoni]

Character Name: Ibaraki-Douji
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown: Wiki

Initial Ideas: DRINKING AND SNACKS. Mostly the food portion of things. I can't really see her focusing on much of anything else beyond that and the drinking contest. I can see her getting into shenanigans and generally causing problems for people. Nothing all that major, probably. I can see her being talked into joining in any of the other events. Such as chicken, and maybe the wet t-shirt contest, though she'll be confused about the latter. As for the Cursed City bit- Ibaraki is probably going to freak out for a little bit.

And then immediately start looking to smash things up. Really looking for her to become actually pissed and lose her shit, flying into a Khorne-fueled Berserker rage! Iba-chan is sick and tired of all of this curse stuff! That and the evident lack of anyone actually doing anything about it. Leading to an oni ready to rip and tear until there's either nothing left, or calms down. Having her actually helping people deal with their nightmares could also be another way to go about things. Especially if she lords it over someone.

Okada Izō | Fate/Grand Order | Shuten

[heretic_blade]

Player Name: Xander
Contact: glitzkrieg#0673

Character Name: Okada Izō
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown: Tengu-possessed Bakamatsu-era assassin who is just the worst kind of person. Prone to violence, yells a lot, and is tsundere. He's a CRAU from slumscape and has some body changes (sharp canines, claws, lengthened ear tips, wings, and crow legs from the knee down).

Initial Ideas:

• Bikini: So Izō will be around in a tiger striped speedo and loud Hawaiian shirt like a good Shuten.
• Shuten: He will also be playing volleyball far too competitively, playing shoulder chicken (either position), and, of course, eating and drinking to excess. Expect him to be ready to wrestle, too, because he's just in a good mood like that!
• Bonfire: He will also be found at the bonfire later, probably passed out in the sand, but generally in a good mood. Probably the best time to approach him if you don't want him being rowdy.
• Cursed City (cw for torture): Izō is going to have a VERY BAD TIME. He will be borderline feral and prone to attacking people without reason. His nightmares will manifest as feelings of crushing loneliness and abandonment, along with visions of the murders he committed and the severe torture he experienced at the end of his life. They'll be more abstract rather than literal, but still deeply unpleasant to experience.

Player Name: gaa
Contact: gaanetto on plurk, gaa#9912 on disco!

Character Name: Tama Mizumori
Canon: Hashihime of the Old Book Town
Faction: Sutoku
Brief Rundown: Have you ever wanted to play a romance VN but then realize it's kind of an esoteric horror mystery? Boy, Do I Have The Canon For You! Bratty twink with aural and visual hallucinations ends up timelooping through rainpuddles because of cute boys and murder, roughly in that order.

Initial Ideas:

-Tama is going to do Battle Kites in the Sutoku area, because he did not expect waterbreathing candies to be a thing and was wholly prepared to have to stay COMPLETELY on land. Kites are still going to hold a huge amount of his focus at the party, though, and probably going to be the meat of my inevitable toplevel- he's brought the supplies, so all you have to do is duke it out!!

-He's also going to gleefully abuse the waterbreathing to try and explore every stupid inch of the indoor pool, so if anyone else wants to watch as a guy who literally doesn't know how to swim tries to suddenly navigate the bottom of an "ocean", have at.

-...he's a VN protagonist with rain (and even bloodrain in one route) and hallucinations as central themes. He's gonna try to VN protag Solve The Mystery about what happened down at Kaigo no Bou, if anyone else wanted to go Scooby Squad it up. He just got his own ability to illusion/hallucinate back, so in a fucked up way he's very slightly resistant to external hallucinations now that his own stuff is situated. It won't buy him much time on the clock, but any extra minute is worth it!!!

-Also maybe he will get to have a cute date with Minakami eventually someday though that's looking unlikely.

Anything else:
Have you seen Tama's son? Now you have!

Enterprise

[lucky_e]

Character Name: Enterprise (CV-6)
Canon: Azur Lane
Faction: Sutoku
Brief Rundown: App

Initial Ideas: Wet! T-Shirt! Contest! She'll be joining in here. Maybe not outright, but it would be a good way to get her embarrassed. She's also very much no slouch to her figure and... chest.... *coughs*AzurLane*coughs* I can also see her doing the jetskis, and spending most of her time in the water. The water, and around the food stands. I'm pretty open for specifics here and am largely looking to expand her CR with everyone. Something dealing with her swimsuit, whichever I chose, or some sort of other shenanigan would be really fun!

For cursed city, I'm tempted to have her nightmares come to life. Dead sisters coming to haunt her, visions of nuclear weapons, the Pacific War, and being hounded by the Sirens or facing her alter self (slight spoilers).

Anything else:

[worldbent]

Player Name: Kit
Contact: kitsoru/PM, please ask to add if we have CR/plans!

Character Name: Matoba Seiji
Canon: Natsume Yuujinchou
Faction: Sutoku
Brief Rundown: Extremely shady exorcist clanhead who can and will use whatever means to obtain power for exorcising youkai. His canon uses the term 'ayakashi' to refer to youkai/kami/spirits, you will see that a lot. Hates non-humans. Has a super cursed-ass eye inherited from his bloodline; the curse shows up once a month to attack him and has special permissions attached you can check out here!

Initial Ideas: Not sure if I'm TLing yet but!:

-Volleyball: since the Daitengu enjoyed it so much when they gave Matoba his shiki back and had them play tennis against each other, Matoba's shiki will be playing for shits and giggles. Anyone (particularly Shutens) want to point out this obviously very unfair match/refereeing?
-Supersoakers: Following a theme of gremlin Matoba, he will be rocking one of these and bullying whoever seems like an easy/funny target
-Nightmare Curse Hell Town: Matoba's shiki will be slithering around distributing wards that repel curse energy to Sutokus still outside in the bloodrain as shit hits the fan! They will be not much help considering the strength and amount of curse energy at play but feel free to use them as an excuse for your Sutoku character to make it back safely if you need one.

Matoba has a specific clan curse that follows him around town and attacks once a month which might also be something I'm considering coming into play if I can work something out with it. Please check the permanent opt-in permissions linked above if you're interested in it for the future!

ANDY | THE OLD GUARD | ENMA

[killtime]

Player Name: Win
Contact: whaler#7695 or PM

Character Name: Andromache of Scythia ("Andy")
Canon: The Old Guard
Faction: Enma (Sergeant)
Brief Rundown: Formerly immortal bastard woman, very good with weapons, very bad with feelings. Has been spending most of her time in hell being mistaken for one of Shuten's and being a nuisance to the night shift employees at the local 7/11.

Initial Ideas:

► get cpr from hell's most reluctant lifeguard
► engage in unnecessarily competitive watergun face-off and/or beach volleyball
► offer the immortal alcoholic a drink at the bonfire (it's fine)
► enma officers unite against the threat that is definitely not their faction's fault at all
► can cursed energy be defeated with fists? come find out!
► let the bastard woman witness your blood rain nightmare psychosis - you'll probably be friends or something after

Anything else: Permissions and info post here, for reference!

Billy

[21towin]

Character Name: Billy the Kid
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown: Wiki

Initial Ideas: Much the same as Enty, Billy is going to largely just be chilling as best he can. He won't be doing the wet t-shirt contest because... yeah he doesn't have all that much to show off. I can see him leaning heavily into the water gun thing, and coming out on top. Maybe pissing a few people off along the way for shits and giggles. Also, because he's in Tamamo, I can see him being dragged into other... less than family friendly scenarios.

Overall, I'm expecting him to just kind of be hanging out and having fun here and there. I'm also fine with the cursed city and nightmare thing. Let Billy share with you the horrors of being an outlaw and seeing everyone you hold dear dies and you're forced to live as an outlaw!

More canon-wise, eldritch horrors, gods, and demons are also par the course.

If anyone has anything specific in mind, let me know~!

Anything else:

[pitfight]

Player Name: cryptid
Contact: bussy

Character Name: Nishitani Homare
Canon: Yakuza 0
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown: Please read his opt out before interacting so you get an idea of what kind of character Nishitani is.
Nishitani is yakuza and has been yakuza for like, over 30 years of his life at this point. He's doing yakuza things, like getting money and bitches.

Initial Ideas:
SWIMSUIT TROUBLES
Nishitani is going to be in a tiger striped speedo and very happy with it. Strangely, it looks like one he bought himself, and not one Toraguma provided.

BEACH GAMES
Shuten: Nishitani is a baseball kind of man, not so much volleyball but he will be try to learn surfing, playing beer pong, get involved with the drinking game, and also be rowdy with other Shutens
Tamamo: He will likely get involved in the sexy watergun fight, somehow, which no one will like.
Sutoku: will likely have to beat him away from anything motorized bc he WILL be too drunk to drive.
Enma: he will hit someone with the stick considering how much he'll have drunk at this point. don't even let him know there's suikawari (aka please do)

BONFIRE
Food will sober Nishitani up a bit, and he'll be feeling particularly amorous, as usual, towards anyone willing.

AND THEN...
Nishitani will be out with Andy trying to rescue people after checking in with Toraguma and the other Shuten's, so I'm really sorry to anyone who gets saved by this pair. They will likely try to stab literally any bitch that gets close to them but that does include people who aren't cursed energy demons :')

IN THE CURSED NIGHT
FUCK ME UP FAM IM SO READY. Nishitani will have dreams about being abandoned by maternal powers, about causing the death of his uncle and cousin, and general real nasty yakuza trauma. I'm down for ANYTHING >:333

cloud strife / sutoku

[identitycrisiscore]

Player Name: Sven!
Contact: svensational / Svensational#5444 on the discord.

Character Name: Cloud Strife
Canon: FF7: Remake
Faction: Sutoku
Brief Rundown: You know him, you love him, the idiot Sword Boy of the 1997 classic is back, but this Cloud's a little more softer and tender-hearted and maybe just a bit more unhinged. You know, normal things.

Initial Ideas:

• Bikinis Cloud has on a vintage swimsuit(particularly the ones on the left) underneath one a' these. Please feel free to mock and/or ogle at your character's discretion.
• Shuten Clan: DAITENGU TOLD HIM TO WIN SOME VOLLEYBALL, HE'S GONNA WIN HIM SOME VOLLEYBALL. Notably Cloud has his baseline enhancements back and if he gets the hint you are even a little bit on par with that he will not hesitate. Please get into volleyball fights with this nerd.
• Tamamo Clan: Cloud will not be entering the Wet T-Shirt contest unless people pressure him into it. ...But you can pressure him into it.
• Cursed City: This is the big one. Cloud has gotten his basic Mako enhancements back so he's going to try and delve as far into the darkness as he can get away with - he won't be making it to Ground Zero right away (as that, as the mods have indicated, would be exceedingly fatal) but he's going to be probing deep enough that he's going to try and drum up interest to get to the bottom of this, because he's a stupid JRPG protag and this is exactly his kind of horseshit. May involve collaborating with fellow Sutoku Tama (see above). He will also be diving into people's nightmares and beating up manifestations with either an oversized parasol or a street pipe (as Cloud... still doesn't have his sword back and is persnickety about using something other than his sword), so if you would like Cloud to dive into your characters' nightmares and be the weird swordboy who bails them out (since, really, nightmares are... unfortunately common for him), please feel free to say so!
• I am also up for other things not on this list I just don't have any other ideas because it's 2 AM and I'm screaming. Please feel free to pitch ideas. I love ideas.

miyamoto musashi 🌸 tamamo

[ryototsukai]

Character Name: Miyamoto Musashi
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown: this ought to cover it

Initial Ideas:
Summer Fun - Musashi will absolutely play volleyball and take it way too seriously, and sees no reason to not participate in a wet t-shirt contest. And of course she will take advantage of the romantic mood of the bonfire to catch up on all of the people she's been flirty with, as well as drink and eat herself into tomorrow's regrets.
Helltown - ... if she makes it to tomorrow, anyways. Musashi doesn't have a lot of fears, but there is one existential thing hanging over her like a sword of damocles, and i kind of want her CR to experience what it's like for her to literally seem to be "deleted" from the world, and perhaps even from their own memories.


just hashtag normal things.

aerith gainsborough | tamamo

[everblooms]

Player Name: agatha ✨
Contact: hagclub, PM

Character Name: Aerith Gainsborough!
Canon: Final Fantasy VII (Remake continuity)
Faction: Tamamo Clan
Brief Rundown:

Per my permissions post for Aerith: Straight-forward and rebellious, Aerith wears her mischievousness like a badge of honor. She's a spunky young woman and shrewd business woman, having spent a great deal of time selling flowers— As a naturally adaptable person, she's surprisingly street smart even though she definitely comes off as being very quirky. Aerith is sweet, kind, flirtatious and snarky; she's got a biting sense of humor that probably feels a bit pointed with how perceptive to others she is.

For this event, I would really like for Aerith to play as many games as possible with people! She has spent a large chunk of her life feeling isolated and lonely, and struggled to keep long standing friendships going. Remake also shows that Aerith has been forgotten at least once during a game of hide and seek, and with Six gone, she'll be struggling a lot more than she shows with that loneliness.

Also: I really would love for her to start working on her reputation in game. I'd love for someone to bring up starting up her floristry business again: it's come up in game before, but she could always use a little more nudging.

Initial Ideas:

🎀 Bikinis? Bikinis. Aerith is attending in full vintage swim regalia, trying to look her best for the event. You are free to look but she has a staff that can cause concussions. On a more sincere note, I would love for her to gas up some friends, and play flirty with pre-existing CR for this. She needs something light after getting her heart broken ...(*￣０￣)ノ
🎀 Volleyball. Who wants to play? She's going to be Cloud's loudest cheerleader, at least, if not out there with him whenever she can.
🎀 W...Wet T-shirt contest....well, someone has to do it.
🎀 Hallucinations! I would love to play with this abstractly. Since Aerith struggles with abandonment, isolation and refusing to actually deal with her feelings, I would love for her to experience symptoms like Hallucinating she's alone and cannot perceive anyone near her, or being "trapped" where people can't get to her, as if she's been spirited away. If you had CR with Aerith prior to this event, I am super open to having her hallucinate being stuck back in her room at Shinra. This is where you can unlock the knowledge she's the last of the Cetra, as well as her tragic backstory involving watching her mother be experimented on while she grew up in a lab.
🎀 Aerith will be working on a medicine with Emily and Shylock to help with the hallucinations. If/When they're successful, she'll be letting anyone and everyone know and scrambling.
🎀 In the mean time: Pray shakily works. I would love to have it fail in some threads, or work for a period of time in others. At the very least, she's directly ignoring orders and is going to be doing her best to try and use Pray to lead people to safety back in their clan's territories. Sorry, Tenkohime, it's for the good of Jigoku as a whole...!!
🎀 Finally: Whatever Cloud does involving Ground Zero, Aerith will be there! Let's all support Cloud Strife together ✨

🎀 Otherwise, please come at me. I'll be tagging out as much as I can with this even, and would love for Aerith to make new friends and new bonds. Last month, things get really hard and hectic irl, so if I missed you last month, know I would love to pick anything back up and go from there!

sakamoto ryouma | fate/grand order | sutoku alliance

[kaientai]

Player Name: Min
Contact: koutenko | koutenko#5884 | DM

Character Name: Sakamoto Ryouma
Canon: Fate/Grand Order
Faction: Sutoku Alliance
Brief Rundown:

Once again ripped from prior event plotting posts, Sakamoto Ryouma is a Servant, meaning he's essentially the spirit/essence of that one historical famous guy summoned as what's more or less a fancy familiar. Generally known for that time he united two factions that hated each other a lot and did a lot of ridiculous things that should've killed him a long time before he actually died.

Initial Ideas:

• There will be fun! And drinking! Jet ski! Volleyball! If you want drunk goofs, I am here for drunk goofs!
• I WON'T LIE I am very jazzed for cursed horror things, so I will probably end up focusing on that a lot but I am definitely open to both!
• Ryouma will be manifesting all sorts of nightmarish things he's gonna hate! He (and everyone else unfortunate enough to be around him) will be seeing a lot of dead people, among other things!
• The exposure to the cursed energy will also be having a corruption effect! He's made of magic and this is a Known canon thing so we will be leaning into this here for funsies.
• Basically building on what's already been happening which is where he's been hallucinating his snake-wife for a while and now it will be Worse and everyone can see her! So she needs to go one way or another...
• IT'S FINE.

Anything else: Permissions/opt-out post is here if you have any concerns about any potential themes that might come up.

lio fotia 🎆 shuten

[ganashara]

Character Name:
Canon:
Faction:
Brief Rundown: handy dandy

Initial Ideas:
Summer Fun - I'm not sure how good flame powers will help with all these things Shuten expects him to win at, but he's been given permission to do what he has to in order to do so, so uh. Fire-based cheating abound. Sorry guys.
Cursed City - To be frank, Promare is not a canon that lends itself that well to bringing out the horrors of the deeper psyche, though certainly Lio does fear his own death by "burning away" aka becoming ash. It happens to Burnish who expend their flames and die. So seeing his own limbs ash away would probably make him feel a way. He's also ripe for reacting to others horror!

this would be an absolutely awful dumpster fire of a time for them to meet

[everblooms]

hello 💗 missed you last month and i am SO sorry about that (rl was rough, to say the least) but i would love-love to do something with monts. do you have a preference for maybe bonfire or cursed city stuff? aerith definitely wouldn't be bothered by her monster form and might even find it sort of lonely in some way, so! ✨ whatever sticks out to you?!
