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: Natori Shuuichi
Canon: Natsume Yuujinchou
Faction: Tamamo
Brief Rundown: Movie star by day, exorcist by night, except his romance actor background is about 100x more relevant here than his exorcist one is thanks 2 depowered. He works as a host serving up some truly ridiculous levels of cheesy romance hero vibes. His latest movie showed up in a theater near you (Sparkling Detective Akeboshi Koutarou: Fiance of the Funeral Procession) so NPCs recognize him when he goes out in public! Also he has magic paper dolls that can fly around and spy for him, and has recently regained his ability to temporarily seal naughty youkai in special exorcist pots.

There's a weird lizard youkai that lives on his body and he hates it! It looks like a solid black tattoo flat against his skin, except it moves around with a gross skittering noise. He's extremely buttmad that everyone can see it here and it's making him extra cranky, especially because the lizard also has a fanclub after his movie was released. Let's hear it for lizard-tan!

Initial Ideas: As mentioned above, Natori is putting his acting experience to good use as a professional flirt aka host, but since it's Tanabata there's some fun to be had with his paper magic as well! Tossing out a few ideas:

Gambling: Natori hanging around the card tables as pure arm candy, except that if he notices a customer trying to cheat they might just find a paper doll in place of the card they're trying to palm. Or the dolls can swoop by at an inconvenient moment to make just enough of a breeze to fumble getting a card from their sleeve. He's not even benefiting from the casino, he's just being a spoil-sport. Catch him catching someone else?
Tanabata: Similarly I feel like there's an opportunity to do some nonsense magic with the wishes! Maybe he's helping out with someone's showy performance by making the slips of paper fly around the air, or maybe some shorty can't reach a free spot and he can get it up to the top of the tree.
Pleasure Palace: Natori isn't much of a stage actor but he's happy to lend a hand, either by spicing up someone else's performance or by helping to chat up the guests with stories about showbiz. Or idk maybe someone's about to drop the super expensive drinks and he instinctively catches both them and the drinks like a meet-cute in a shoujo story.
Sealing jars: This is maybe more for the aftermath than the event itself, but as mentioned above Natori regained his ability to temporarily seal youkai inside a pot for an easy way to end a fight/bring someone in. The catch is that he's got a limited number and it requires a lot of set-up work (drawing spell circles, luring the youkai in, timing his chants right, etc.) so he needs a buddy to keep the youkai busy as he gets all the prep done. Potentially something that can come in handy if there's a fetch quest or arrest attempt further down the line!

Anything else: I link this every time but here's a three minute long video compilation of some, but not all, of the times that Natori sparkles like an idiot who doesn't realize he's supposed to turn the romance shtick off.

doki doki natori kun.... maybe he can catch jack and they can look into the others' eyes and fall in love--

I'm 100% serious, his intro scene is the protag tripping over him only for Natori to instinctively catch him like he's a shoujo heroine swooning. Natori does this multiple times. He'd 100% do it and flirt without even thinking about it.

good GOD this may actually make jack short circuit and i am so for it
