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: Gracious Skylark
Canon: OC (Exalted TTRPG)
Faction: Shuten
Brief Rundown: Boy from fantasy medieval Kowloon Walled City in a wuxia-turned-up-to-11 setting gets blessed by the sun god, which sounds like a good thing except most people think it's demons instead. He's a doctor's apprentice, son of a navigation god, and former brothel errand boy, with an Interesting and Exciting™ life that includes highlights like "three kidnapping attempts on him", "tried to blackmail a god", "nearly got murdered by a sword spirit", and "discovered an ancient conspiracy".

Skylark's one of those people who seem pretty polite and mild-mannered, which he truthfully kind of is, but he's also quite sarcastic and sometimes wishes going apeshit was a more valid option. Very tolerant about weird shit even if he snarks about it, sometimes reads as just Deeply Tired. Very responsible and mature except when he forgets self-preservation is super important, actually.

Initial Ideas:
Gambling Problem - Skylark will be playing at the tables and doing some dealing, cheating very well after he lets patrons win a round or two in an attempt to encourage them to keep playing. Maybe you're also cheating for the house and in on it with him! Maybe you're the one getting cheated!

He won't be doing any bouncer duty but may need some help if there are any patrons who get a little heated that they're losing to a kid or had too much to drink.

Tanabata - He's going to be in a good mood thanks to the stardust effects, and he'll be writing down some wishes and maybe a bit nosy about others' wishes. Do you want to watch him be a Sap(TM), or get some lore? Both current CR and new CR are welcome!

"We Know Who You Are" - He'll cooperate with any interrogating, though he himself doesn't really know anything interesting at this point. He will be trying to listen in on what other people are saying, but otherwise, he'll also be busy fusing about making sure people he knows are doing okay in the aftermath of all...that...

Anything else: I don't even have funny memes to share,
