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: Luna
    Contact: [plurk.com profile] AppleBlossoms, feel free to add if we're threading or planning to thread!

    Character Name: Barok van Zieks
    Canon: Great Ace Attorney
    Faction: Enma (⭐⭐)
    Brief Rundown: Victorian era nobleman, goth before goth was a thing. Brooding, always seen with a sword and often with a dramatic black cloak. Drinks a LOT of wine. Trial attorney for the Enma Justice Department. Deeply committed to the truth.

    Initial Ideas:
    Pleasure Palace Two things for this one! On the one hand, it may be a brothel but van Zieks is only here to check out the drink selection. Expensive and high quality alcohol has his attention and he's definitely purchasing a bottle of wine that is almost his monthly salary... but he's also just window shopping and seeing what the selections are, whoop! He'll try his best to otherwise mostly watch the chastest performances to be found... But!
    The other thing is that I would honestly love for him to finally stop living the prudest life imaginable - please drag this man out of the closet! I'm looking for male characters to casually smooch, possibly helped along by lightly aphrod drinks. As a disclaimer van Zieks is a repressed Victorian virgin and he's going to be weird about things afterwards, so if dealing with some measure of internalized homophobia and guilt is a no-go for you then you might not want to offer your character here!
    Tanabata He's not going to write wishes unless dragged into it, but he'll be there and in a comparatively good mood due to the drink and the general love-y atmosphere, whoop!
    I have no specific plans here otherwise, but it'd be a good time for amiable conversation with the man if you want that!
    "We Know Who You Are" It is time for van Zieks to be in his element! He'll be everywhere at once until the late morning hours when everything finally clears up for good. I can think of a few hooks here but you're also free to suggest your own! My thoughts are...
    a) He's going to be interrogating people personally. This means you could either have your character (from a non-Enma faction) among the people being questioned and they could exchange plot talk...? Or this could mean that you can watch van Zieks at work from afar and witness the famed LEG SLAM - because when some Shuten Oni are particularly uncooperative with his questioning, he is axe kicking the table between them. It is impressive.
    b) Enma officers of lower rank will find van Zieks watching them like a hawk - are you writing your investigations results down properly? Did you find something yet? Go control that area, it's getting restless... he's gonna be a real busybody. Officers of rank will have a better chance at actually exchanging info with him.
    c) Is your character also still there when it's already way past dawn and the absolute last of people clears up? Let's commiserate in the aftermath of YET ANOTHER RUINED PARTY... van Zieks is so annoyed...

    Anything else:

    Come get your public leg slams!

    Felix has managed to catch sight of some things re: shit that occurred during the nonsense, so maybe he can go and tell him that if Barok happens to like... ask him some q's. At the very least he'll be a bit forthcoming since he has worked with him before, despite probably still having quite the brusque/rude attitude, lmao

    [personal profile] dehallow 2022-08-07 05:45 pm (UTC)(link)
    Ohoho! Yes, let's exchange some info - Barok won't be completely tightlipped with what he's heard so far either, at least.

    Are you top leveling or should I write up a starter? :3
    littleshield: (30)

    [personal profile] littleshield 2022-08-07 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
    Awesome, sounds like a plan!

    I can go ahead and put together a starter for the beginning of the interrogation.

    I could offer Nero up for some casual smooching. It's a little faster if he's aphrod, but he's also willing to be nice company that van Zieks doesn't have to pay for. Whatever sounds more appealing to you.
    dehallow: (⚔ the rare smile 2)

    [personal profile] dehallow 2022-08-07 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
    Oho!!

    Even lightly-aphroed as he'll be, van Zieks is going to lean more on the 'lean in close in conversation with barely concealed longing' side of things rather than fully bridging the gap on his own - so I'd leave aphro on Nero up to you, depending on how invested he might be in making the tall, repressed and obviously interested guy get over himself already, haha.

    [personal profile] perfectdistance 2022-08-07 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
    If nothing else, being in Tamamo has made him a little more bold, especially after he gets a few drinks in him. Keep looking interested and Nero will close the gap for them.

    Oocly: GET THOSE SMOOCHES VAN ZIEKS YOU FUCKIN NEED IT

    Icly: do you think Timtam waiters get commission for selling expensive wine bc this brat could use some money from spendy wine snobs 👀

    I'M SURE THEY DO, the real question is just 'do you want to cringe through me just absolutely bullshitting my way around wine talk with the help of google?' because if so I'm down. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ALCOHOL.
    bratherine: (11.)

    [personal profile] bratherine 2022-08-08 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
    jskhf i don't mind at all! All wine talk is so absurd no one would notice anyway.
    dehallow: (⚔ the rare smile 2)

    [personal profile] dehallow 2022-08-09 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
    Is this alright with you?

    [personal profile] bratherine 2022-08-09 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
    it does. And what beautiful optimism in being broke AF, Barok. 😌

    I need these two to meet because Zhongli was the god of contracts and order. Maybe they can meet in the pleasure palace, or the investigations might work too.
    dehallow: (pic#15507259)

    [personal profile] dehallow 2022-08-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
    I see you have a TL for pleasure palace! I can hit you up there, is it okay to assume van Zieks has seen Zhongli around Kaigo no Bou before so he knows he's Enma?
    brokebitchmountain: (Granodiorite)

    [personal profile] brokebitchmountain 2022-08-09 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
    Oh yes, that's totally fine! Zhongli is pretty diligent with his work too, so if that would get Zieks' attention as well you can have him know that.

    [personal profile] empression 2022-08-11 01:33 pm (UTC)(link)
    I'd be fine with either Tanabata or Interrogation! Haru is a fairly babby Shuten though so won't be of much use, if just a little shaken by everything that just went down. But I definitely do want them to meet in some way!
    dehallow: (pic#15536971)

    [personal profile] dehallow 2022-08-12 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
    If Haru is not inclined to approach a random loner at Tanabata, interrogation might be a better prompt! He's got a soft core somewhere below glowering goth-ness so he'd ease up on full interrogation mode a moment in at least...

    Does that sound good?
    empression: (Have you tried this dung yet?)

    [personal profile] empression 2022-08-12 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
    Some random loners, yes, intimidating official-looking men loners, probably not.

    So interrogation to vague mercy sounds good to me!

    hello if you're still interesting in threading w shylock im offering him up for interrogations or maybe some drinkies... he can def slide in some aphros in his wine just to make him loosen up a little and flirt w him a whole lot so i apologize in advance............
    dehallow: (⚔ raised glass)

    [personal profile] dehallow 2022-08-12 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
    I am absolutely still interested!

    I think Please Palace meeting sounds hilarious, I just need to smooth out my aphro time-line here... Handwave-aphroed wine has always been used to facilitate a big mistake kiss with a castmate, so I wouldn't want to toss Shylock into the position of being responsible for that.

    Compromise options in my brain are a) pre-wine-purchase, Barok is not loosened up, please help him. or b) post-disaster, meet a frazzled prosecutor trying to act normal?

    Interrogation certainly always works though!

    A starter! Lmk if anything needs changing!
