D4 - Tiger 15th
+++Thought for the Day+++
Nobody is innocent, there are merely varying levels of sin.
Weather
Clouds begin to gather on the horizon soon after midnight and as the new day dawns, a downpour engulfs the city, making the morning commute an unpleasant experience to pedestrians and drivers alike. The deluge is accompanied by violent thunderstorm, forcing anyone caught outdoors to seek shelter. The rainstorm softens into a drizzle by early afternoon and while the rain eventually ceases, the skies remain grey until the sunset.
Epilepsy Disadvantage triggers for anyone outdoors at Late Morning.
[D4 ] Side Event: Turbo Tickets Arcade Night

[D4 ] Information Event: Eyes wide shut
Associated roleplay thread here
Kisei is showing new moon.
Hakusei is waxing crescent.
Playing today at Once Upon A Theatre in Horogai mall...
Undercover
A problematic yoriki is expelled from his post and delves into the underworld where in reality he serves as an undercover informant for the magistrate. Likewise, the same crime syndicate had groomed a ronin to rise up in the ranks of the law before ultimately being granted fealty to serve as a mole against the magistrates. Both moles serve their supposed masters while debating their true loyalty. The twist comes when the magistrate is killed and the undercover informant is tasked to bring down the criminal syndicate if he is to have any hope of returning to his past life. This is all while the criminal mole struggles to maintain the legitimate status he managed to build up for himself while fulfilling his obligations.

The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, the Fortunes still watch and judge us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the alleys of yesteryear. But it was never the alleys that were evil.

Re: D4 - Tiger 15th
Scorpion1: Ugh, I hate Turbo Tickets night.
Scorpion2: Why would YOU hate it? You spend like every night there!
Scorpion1: I just hate how some tourists can just stroll in and nab a bunch of tickets.
Scorpion1: This event is for the regulars, not the visitors. We should be rewarded for our loyalty.
Scorpion2: Spoken like someone who's been grinding tickets for weeks.
Scorpion1: Look, I promised my daughter this giant plushie for her birthday. I'll need whatever tickets I can get.
Scorpion2: Work smarter, not harder, my friend.
Scorpion1: You can't even get decent workers these days.
Scorpion2: What happened?
Scorpion1: So, that cook that works for me?
Scorpion2: Yeah.
Scorpion1: So she got executed the other night.
Scorpion2: What, how?
Scorpion1: I wish I know. The magistrate called to me from her communicator.
Scorpion1: 'Yeah, Harumi is not coming to work tomorrow'
Scorpion2: Oof.
Scorpion1: Hey, wanna hear my latest, 'How dumb is Kaiu Setsu joke'?
Scorpion2: Depends. Wanna hear about how dumb you are for spreading Crab disinformation?
Scorpion1: Wait, what?
Scorpion2: Think about it, man! You don't get to be Chief Engineer of Kaiu Heavy Industries by being an idiot.
Scorpion2: So why the sudden explosion of 'Kaiu Setsu is an idiot' talk without a major gaffe on his part?
Scorpion2: It doesn't make sense....unless the Crab are using it to hide whatever secret project he's working on.
Shadow1: I cannot find him!
Shadow2: I can feel them running-running away from him! They feaaaar. *giggle*
Shodow3: So he has to be here. But where!
Shadow1: Not in the darkness, for I would know!
Shadow3: So he walks in the light?
Shadow2: Impossible!
Scorpion1: Do you know who else is on Yakumo's boat?
Scorpion2: Besides the ronin?
Scorpion1: Yeah. An Otomo
Scorpion2: Well, she's got a big boat.
Scorpion1: With sturdy a stern!
Scorpion1: You got your deck ready?
Scorpion2: For the most part, yeah. I'm missing one Hidden Temple and two Devious Kunoichi
Scorpion1: Isn't Kunoichi just uncommon?
Scorpion2: Yeah, but everyone's hoarding her for her art.
Scorpion1: Ugh. I don't get why everyone thinks that Gozaemon-dono is such hot shit. He can't even draw people.
Scorpion2: Thighs. Thicc thighs.
Scorpion1: *sigh*
Scorpion1: Huh, a Scorpion playing with Spider, a sight I didn't expect to see.
Scorpion2: Yeah, makes you wonder, doesn't it.
Scorpion1: One is seducing the other, no?
Scorpion2: But which is seducing which?
Crane1: Are you coming to the tournament tomorrow?
Crane2: Yes!
Crane1: Are you bringing that origami tribal deck again?
Crane2: What else?
Crane1: I mean, you could bring something competitive?
Crane2: But why? I'm playing to have fun.
Scorpion1: Man, those two hunks at the tournament?
Scorpion2: The Hare and Spider?
Scorpion1: Yeah, them.
Scorpion2: Mhmhm, good looking. One of them is married though?
Scorpion1: Might explain why they couldn't play ball. *snigger*
Scorpion1: Boy, he doesn't seem to know when to stop, does he?
Scorpion2: Wait, who?
Scorpion1: That Kaiu! He was stalking that Diva on the network again, it seems.
Scorpion2: Ugh... although honestly? Why'd she even care? She's way out of his depth.
Scorpion1: I mean, who isn't? Even we're not quite at the depths of despair *smirk*
Scorpion1: You know which celebrity Nari-chan should interview?
Scorpion2: Who?
Scorpion1: Bayushi Mariko. That's who.
Scorpion2: Oh! I really hope she does. Our local celebrity shining all over the Empire? Would definitely be a blessing!
Scorpion1: Wasn't it odd how that Tamori looked at the volleyball game? Sort of spacey.
Scorpion2: I mean the Dragon are usually like that but she seemed extra spacey.
Scorpion1: Ahh well. She's one of those who likes to...ahh...indulge in some alternate realities.
Scorpion2: Oh like vid games?
Scorpion1: No you idiot, she clearly enjoys dipping her Dragon face into some of the World of Dreams finest unofficial exports.
Scorpion2: Ohhh....Vid games would have been more fun.
Scorpion1: You are a fool and I don't know why I take you anywhere.
Scorpion1: I wonder who that dork of a Crab will pair up for the ball.
Scorpion2: Wasn't he hitting on Spider gals?
Scorpion1:I doubt they will pay him that courtesy.
Scorpion2: What about that Bayushi heiress he was talking with?
Scorpion1: That was a real hit. He actually stepped on her toes.
Scorpion2: Such a loser.
Scorpion2: Maybe he pairs up with a robot, like the nerd he is.
Scorpion1: *giggle* That's the only way he'll get someone... something going with him.
Gebu the ronin:
Through the Starnest and Fields of Blood.
All the battles that he withstood,
A true warrior, enjoyed the war,
He always kept coming for more!
Never diе, shot through the eye!
Nеver surrender however they try!
How they try, shot through the eye!
He'll never die!
At the edge of madness, in a time of sadness,
an immortal servant finds his home!
Proven under fire, over trench and wire,
forged for the war, he's unbreakable!
Nari-chan Live!
The popular digital video personality, Nari-chan the Kitsune, makes her online appearance to her fans. She makes her 6th attempt at running through Meido Souls.
Nari-chan lets out a small but cute yawn. "Ouuuaaahh 🥱...Sorry about that! I probably didn't sleep well but I'm still having fun with this game, it's so tough!"
"Ehhh? Oh, I should interview, Bayushi Mariko? Hm! Hm! Oh yeah, she was in Medical Ops, Unit Go! Wasn't she? That was a fun little show, very adorable!
Do you think they'll make a second season? Ne, minasama?" Nari-chan giggled at that idea.
"Aughwahwah...
I died again! This game is so hard!" Nari-chan flattered her ears, looking rather deflated by her character dying once more mid-stage. "I'll get better at this, I swear..."
Scorpion2: Why would YOU hate it? You spend like every night there!
