jigokuooc | August 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;
Gambling Problem - The Shuten Clan is running an old-style den casino in Sai no Kawara with all kinds of games of chance to try your hand at. Shuten dealers have been trained to cheat on behalf of the house, of course.
Pleasure Palace - Tamamo has created a palace-like house of pleasure. It's essentially an extremely high end cabaret club and brothel, with both an indoor and outdoor stage for performances.
Gossip - With so many high profile clients in town for Tanabata, it's Sutoku's jobs to keep their ears open for all the hot goss they can. One thing in particular most characters will hear about is trouble in one of family of a particular finance wolf. His daughter wants to be a musician. He's trying to get her to come home. Drama ensues.
Tanabata - The usual Tanabata fun, though the Stardust-fueled magic creating the star show might make everyone feel more inclined to get in on the peace and love. What's more, the magic may impact the wishmaking itself! Take a chance, right?
"We Know Who You Are" - The infamous Iron Bear has made their presence felt. An attempted assassination is thwarted, but the finance wolf's daughter is kidnapped, and the Enma is here to make sure everyone starts talking about what they know. A tense ending to a party, but at least no one's in immediate danger. Right? Right?

Character Name: Cloud Strife
Canon: Final Fantasy 7 (Remake)
Faction: ⭐ Sutoku
Brief Rundown: Everyone's favorite sword-wielding JRPG protag from the late 90s is here and has already gotten himself in a ton of trouble! After his show of bravery in July's operation into the cursed Kaigo no Bou, Cloud took a pretty serious injury he's yet to heal from. As Sutoku's most visible combatant, Cloud is unfortunately the definition of unsubtle. Turns out being a big time hero is a great distraction, though!

Initial Ideas: Cloud is going to be out and about! He's very visible, and also he's going to be in a nice suit that matches a certain Tamamo sub-lieutenant. I'm basically up for whatever people are excited for. He's also going to be on the dance floor (pressganged by a certain Tamamo sub-lieutenant), so everyone gets to see Cloud Strife in fact actually has moves.

GOSSIP: Cloud is too forward to get any gossip himself. He'll be relying on established CR running around gathering info to come to him to fill him in. Besides, he'll be much more invested in...

THE IRON BEAR: As Sutoku's most visible combatant, Cloud has been put in charge of getting the Sutoku's organized in a guerilla militia sense, to combat the cunning of Tamamo and the power of Shuten with some grassroots mobility. With Ryouma, Sutoku's official liason, being the attempted target of the assassination, Cloud is going to be mobilizing whoever he can to get boots on the ground. Strictly speaking, he's of the opinion that Sutoku problems should be solved by Sutoku solutions, so if you can get information from the Enma, go for it, but don't rely on them. SORRY TO ALL HIS COOL ENMA FRIENDS. You might still be able to get something out of him but this is pretty serious.

megumi my pal he's SO working you in on this, don't you worry

they dont always talk but sometimes, you just feel it ... He Gets Me

ANYWAY PUT HIM TO WORK i will come poke your TL!! megumi might have his dogs try to track ringo and see if the mods will let him find anything

I just think it would be funny if Eiichi got to see Cloud dance and make fun of him mercilessly for it.

eiichi did you know you're a jackass, trick question of course you do

I'M INTO IT, i'll get my TL up tonight and eiichi can... be himself in that general direction

he knows he enjoys it. every time you point it out he grows stronger in power.

excelleeeeent.

everyone gets to see Cloud Strife in fact actually has moves.

So what you're saying is he needs some hooting and hollering and general "nice moves!" cheers?

He is ABSOLUTELY gonna put himself in a spot where people can come approach him about the show.

did someone say boots on the ground

YOU READY FOR SOME GRASSROOTS GUERILLA ACTION, LEVI?

they didn't sign up for gorillas but yeah they can touch some grass

i'll want to check in with marie to see how any potential weapons training has been going, too, just for self-defense purposes, but either way levi's down for this
