SUBSTORY #1 | SUBSTORY #2 |
 Doms Wanted! One of the numerous BDSM clubs owned by the Tamamo clan needs help training staff. Their doms are too submissive and have problems saying just what’s needed to tickle their clients’ fancy. Come train them up to be properly aggressive so they can humiliate their clients and so that the club will survive! You’ll be rewarded for your help, of course. |  High Definition There are posters around town advertising a hefty reward for participating in drug testing. If you choose to go to the advertised location, you will be given one of three drugs by a gyokuto, which looks identical to your average rabbit. The drugs have effects ranging from mild visual and auditory hallucinations, impaired judgment and poor coordination, and blindness. You will be sent back out into the city after the administration of the drug and will only be paid upon returning to the clinic the next day to report your experiences. Whatever happens between then and now is your problem. art by FireBay |

 Look at this sweet jacket A man needs help crossing one of the river bridges where he keeps being attacked. He’s convinced it’s because of a cool jacket he’s wearing that makes him irresistible to haters – but the truth is that it’s the hashihime that work and take care of the bridges around town. He’s a nuisance and they want him off the damn bridge. Help the man or help the hashihime, it’s up to you. Both will pay you. |  Welcome to the Night Parade (plot-relevant) Characters are tasked with preparing for the Night Parade: setting up decorations, making sure businesses have their sponsorships lined up, training for security, planning the parade route and, of course, making sure no one is bringing any contraband to the event. The Night Parade is an important neutral event and the leaders of every clan want to ensure there are no agitators or violent incidents. The Kappa in particular want to keep Lost Souls from doing inspections on their part of the parade route; they don’t trust them to have anything to do with the city’s utilities. |

And less relevant to the immediate questions, but:

1) It's pretty literal, yes. This isn't traditional hydroelectricity (honestly, it's too small a tributary to do that with), so the generators extract the energy rather than work with traditional turbines and rotating magnets et al. It's a lot more of the fiction side of science fiction.
2) The de-powered water is what's used for the city's plumbing, yes. Drinking water, bath water, etc. Some spirit-rich water is diverted for bathhouses, but those are the expensive sort you usually see in Tamamo territory.
3) Ryouma's got space to throw his party, but they probably couldn't convert it into anything as large scale as, say, a water park. You'd be surprised what intrepid engineers can do with an sewer area, though.
4) The Kappa less interested in independent business endeavors and more just getting back to the work they're used to. That's why they're sort of waiting on who wins the turf war and hoping whoever does can cut them a good deal to get back to work.
5) The Kappa will tell them that the sub-level generators were managed from consoles within the offices on the lowest accessible level (as in the area just above the keycard only areas). If maintenance ever needed to be done, upper management handled it. Given upper management were all wiped out, that leads to some concern as to how they're going to do that now... They suppose they'll have to wait until someone cracks those doors open, or finds the keycards.
6) Something very interesting that might jump out is mention of a Yatagarasu that once managed the entire city's power. This Yatagarasu, whom no one has seen or heard of since the older days of the city, is the one who is credited with creating the whole system. There are a lot of wild rumors about them, from saying they merged with a primordial sun god to the fact they could just *create* cold fusion from the soul-rich waters of the Sanzu with some kind of inherent ability. Either way, that's WILD stuff, right? Wonder if anyone knows what became of them...
7) The Daitengu trusted Kappa management to handle the systems, and didn't even conduct inspections. Despite that, they never seemed to be out of the loop as to what was going on. There was a tremendous amount of faith exchanged between the Daitengu and the River Kappa, and people speak of this trust as being a huge part of what bonded the River Kappa with the alliance, basically allowing them to do their thing, uninterrupted and unbothered. Of course, hindsight makes this seem like a mistake, given the assassination...
8) Sadly, no. Any texts on the history of language in the city will just reflect the real world history of the Japanese language. Though it doesn't look like it has any roots in Chinese writing, and may be a symbol from the primordial age...
