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?

Player Name: Van
Contact: plurk, or I'm haunting the discord server as vanathema

Character Name: Minato Suizenji/Minakami
Canon: Hashihime of the Old Book Town
Faction: Shuten 1⭐️
Brief Rundown: Taisho-era murder-mystery murder-victim. Mild-mannered student and Just Some Guy. Literally read an entire bookstore and university library over the course of two years. Ex-time-traveller and bearer of 500 million years of reincarnation memories. Kill-Bill-style murdered his way through a military facility in a timeline that he doesn't remember. He is just a normal bookworm do not come closer.

I mmmay or may not toplevel, answer hazy, but:

Initial Ideas:
(In the casino he'll be in a shirt and tie as per code, but for the general festival, it's time for CONFY (art credit plus/eiichi's player))

Gambling - I'm going to be honest I never know what to do with casino stuff WHICH I FEEL BAD ABOUT BECAUSE IT'S SHUTEN'S SHINDIG AND KIND OF CENTRAL TO THE WHOLE... YAKOOZIE THING... That being said, as much as he's a wears-his-heart-on-his-sleeve weenie, he really does have a poker face when he puts his mind to it. What this means is, while he doesn't have the sleight of hand to cheat, he can tag-team with someone else on the table to look like an earnest country-mouse rube (because. he is.) and an easy mark, while his partner cleans the table out.

Alternately, while Tamamo is officially covering the catering, Minato is going to spend some time helping out at the bar. Given the relative invisibility of being a server, he could use that vantage point to keep an eye on potential troublemakers or non-Shuten cheaters, if you're a fellow Shuten looking to give them the boot, or y'know, if you're said troublemaker.

Most of the info-gathering and snooping he'll be opting out of, given he just......wants to chill out for the festival, which doesn't mean he isn't here for regular gossip :O Hang out, meet people, eat somen. He might be melancholy about origami cranes because of reasons but folding origami crane decorations for tanabata would be cute.

He certainly is enough of a nerd to see the connection between the name "Iron Bear" and Toraguma from the mythology, and also cautious enough to warn would-be investigators that prying into the boss's past might be biting more than they should chew.

"We know who you are" - Rather than haring off after the kidnappers he's going to be keeping half an eye on the remaining Moonday band members, more just to see that they're okay than out of concern they'll be targetted too. Besides that, I don't have much in mind besides rubbernecking or more gossip.

Anything else:
i have been playing the live-a-live remaster recently and this dumpling is actually what all our lost soul characters look like. it's true and canon.

another event fallout for these two.

but hey! it could be worse

We should absolutely do crane-folding I regret nothing about pestering you always
