July OOC Intro / CR meme!

MAIN NAVIGATION

Welcome Lost Souls! And also, welcome to this round's group of new players!

Want to jump right in? This month's Substories are posted here!. As for what's been going on...

Just like the TDM set up, Jigokucho is in recovery mode after the dissipation of a curse that befell the city. It was a full-on horror apocalypse.

The curse is gone, there are rumors stirring that the turf war has ended, and the Kappa are all going back down to work on building… something. It’s all pretty hush-hush, but anyone that’s not in the Department can ask freely about it. The Enma has bigger things to be concerned with already anyway (namely the newly named cause of the curse: Haniyasu).

So what does that mean for the next two months? Well, between whatever it is being cooked up in the Underground and everything else, the theme of these two months is Tanabata! How that celebration takes shape in a place like Jigokucho will be revealed as the month goes on, so stay tuned to find out more!

Natori Shuuichi | Natsume Yuujinchou | Tamamo

[paperpusher]

Player Name: Rinne
Contact: spoilers or via PM! feel free to add on plurk if we're planning CR
Pronouns: she/her
Tell us about yourself: I'm in EST! I do legal work related to abortion access so my tagging is especially sporadic lately. Outside of RP I play the violin, quilt, and do aerial hoop/lyra in descending order of skill. I tend to plurk once every few days and always keep work talk that touches on politics in a specifically marked plurk for ease of avoiding it!

Character Name: Natori Shuuichi
Canon: Natsume Yuujinchou/Natsume's Book of Friends (specifically chapter 103 of the manga, so please let me know if you're anime-only and want to avoid spoilers from after season 6!)
Character Age: 23
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown: Movie star by day, exorcist by night. His stupid historical mystery movie Fiance of the Funeral Procession is Now Available At A Theater Near You, so feel free to recognize him as that annoying sparkly detective. He also has a pretty successful career as a host club thanks to said movie. He has a less successful run doing exorcist work in youkai hell, not least because he spent all last month wandering the blood rain in a daze. There is a lizard youkai that lives on his skin like a moving tattoo. He hates it, but it has its own fanclub. Womp womp.

Initial Ideas:

• Natori is fourth (!) in the OnlyCelestials leadership board but for personal reasons he's actually irritated that his Patented Good Looks And Super Star Fame didn't carry him higher. hahahaha it's fine it's just a stupid app! a stupid app that he swears he uninstalled! it's fine who cares what a bunch of celestials think--
  
• that said if someone could use his week's worth of Starbucks more than he can, he's happy to share
  
• Natori tried to spy on the Enma's storage for the haniwa last month which led to him 1) learning that someone sabotaged it from the inside but also 2) going absolutely off the charts in terms of blood rain frenzy. He's supremely embarrassed at his poor excuse for exorcism work which means he's going to try to investigate the haniyasu stuff out of spite.
  
• Natori does paper magic, which are primarily flying paper dolls right now. does anyone want to do silly home alone-style traps for naked dancing man that will attempt to end in him getting slapped with a few magic dolls?
  
• similarly: flying paper dolls sniping tanabata stardust out from under your nose
  
• you'd think he'd learn because constant doll-contact with the haniwa was what caused him to lose it last month but onward, let's keep touching magic things with paper imbued with a bit of his spiritual energy, what's the worst that can happen again

CR Desires:

• Co-workers at the host club
  
• Fellow timtams for apartment building shenanigans (he always forgets what day is plastics day)
  
• Other exorcist types to talk shop/attempt to mentor, poorly
  
• Youkai to be passive aggressive with
  
• Nonhumans who are not youkai to be mistaken for youkai
  
• Terrible dating app matches (disclaimer: Natori will not be fucking, nor, if he had his way, fighting)
  
• Other petty people who want to try gaming the OnlyCelestials system purely because they're mad about their ranking on the leaderboard. TEAM UP TO DO STUPID QUESTS AND PRETEND YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT INTERNET POPULARITY CONTESTS
  
• idk fans who want him to autograph their movie pamphlets for $$

Anything else: here's three minutes of Natori sparkling like an idiot

[psionicmolotov]

i am 100% down with elaborate boobytraps for naked dancing man

[paperpusher]

please, please let him redeem himself after he slurped up cursed blood rain in front of Kimmuriel's face. he promises he's actually competent, he swears

[watermemory]

hello I've been meaning to try and get CR with Natori for a hot second, given Minakami's in the family-curse/yokai-possessed/exorcist-adjacent contingent, even if he's a baseline human as it stands. (He also really likes movies and fully intended to watch Fiance but #drama meant he didn't get around to it, and then bloodrain happened.)

Besides the haniyasu investigation being an interest, he also agrees that the leaderboard is Bullshit, not because of his own ranking or anything but because his buddy Tama is #3 and that's Rude >:(

[paperpusher]

Ayyy, exorcist-adjacent family curses club! (It's a bad club.) He wouldn't immediately shill his movie to people he meets in exorcist-related contexts (though he'll explain if asked/if it comes up from the fans surrounding him) so it would be funny if they meet in a normal capacity and then afterwards Minakami finally managed to sit down for the movie and is like "...wait a second"

[bratherine]

I want these two to run into each other again pls ok thank u. Tamamo shenanigans perhaps?

[paperpusher]

YES PLEASE TAMAMO SHENANIGANS!! Natori has much less room to scold Kate for stumbling around in the rain now, but also he tries his best to be an ~appropriate mentor~ so do as he says and not as he does. Maybe they run into each other again while gathering stardust for the timtams?
