Day 4 - 21th of Dog

Post by Boogiepop »

(November 13th to November 15th, day flip on November 16th)

Weather Advisory
Nakahama sees a large influx of visitors overlapping with Yasuki Ayame's Summit Event from Fan Con. The streets of the Harbourfront and the Golden Shotengai are filled with people, which some locals will find the city busier than it has ever been in recent memory. Between Fan Con and the Edge of Darkness LARP by the Green Carp Living Role-Playing Society, more than a few people in the streets will be seen costumed.

The weather is merciful for both the locals and their guests; the coast sees a cool breeze roll in with partial cloud cover. The cloud cover continues into the night with a very brief spurt of rain before returning to normal. The island interior is quite humid, however.

Kujira is currently at the waxing crescent.
Haya is currently at the waxing crescent.

Events
Bid Event: Nakahama City By Night (Mid Evening)

Side Event: Fan Con (Early Afternoon)
RP Thread: Fan Con (Early Afternoon)

Daily Event Q&A

Informator
The picture of the video is grainy and unclear, almost as if there wasn't sufficient lighting. The holorecorder attempts to maintain its focus as it continually zooms out and in from an object against the lens and the stone wall in the foreground.

Voice: "Is this thing on?"

The holorecorder is picked up, and the audience is put into a face-to-face view of Kuni Sumie as Lady Beatorisu Asuta of the Black Iron Clan.

Lady Beatorisu Asuta: "Surprise! I'm back! Many years ago, the Rose (and the Green Carp Living Role Playing Society) had banished me to the void, across the endless ocean beyond the horizon, to a far-distant land unreachable by both immortals and sheep! In my time away, I have seen many things. Eldritch horrors like you couldn't even fathom!"

Image Image

The footage cuts to showing some of those sights she mentioned. There is a shot of a groaning tree, then followed by a spine drake framed in an ominous and frightful light. At least, it was her intention...

Lady Beatorisu Asuta: "Harnessing the untapped power of a world away, I have WILLED from the great infinite of the void and back into this realm to claim what is mine. Starting with the false Queen of Nakahama City. She's been playing for like what!? Less than a year!? With fourth edition?! Ugh, so lame! Anyway, Nakahama City will be burned to the ground with my rule, and a new order will be created! Join me! The uprising has begun!"

Lady Beatorisu covers the camera with her hand.

Lady Beatorisu Asuta: "Slash scene!"

Rumours
Yasuki 1: "That Mantis boat party... I can't believe it ended like that..."
Yasuki 2: "Yeah... me either... it was awful..."
Yasuki 1: "Yeah! The Magistrate showing up like that. Really cut things short."
Yasuki 2: "Oh, I got sick because I drank right out of the chocolate fountain. But yeah, the Magistrate."
Yasuki 1: "That's gross, you! But I guess the Ochiba must have been in some kind of trouble."
Yasuki 2: "Yeah... didn't she, like, shoot someone?"
Yasuki 1: "I don't know. But it's pretty clear she's trouble..."
Yasuki 3: "Ughhhh... auditions were rough."
Yasuki 4: "Yeah, I didn't even get cast."
Yasuki 3: "I just barely did. I got to be... an abs-spritzer."
Yasuki 4: "Psh, that doesn't count. You're not on camera!"

Hiruma 2: "You bet I did! Yowwwwwza! I wanted to talk to her..."
Hiruma 1: "Okay, yeah, but that's not what I mean. Why was she at a party where a Magistrate was going to be making arrests?"
Hiruma 2, who never stopped talking: "... and she'd be like 'hey, eyes up here', but I wouldn't be able to ..."
Hiruma 1: "Seems like maybe she's protecting the Mantis. Is that something the Governor should be doing?"
Hiruma 2, still going: "...and then, after that, I imagined her stepping on me."
Hiruma 1: "... what?"
Hiruma 2: "...what?"
Peasant 1: "So, no shit, there I was, stepping out of my bedroom..."
Peasant 2: "Yeah?"
Peasant 1: "Yeah. I look out my window, and there are these BIRDS! Big ones!"
Peasant 2: "No!"
Peasant 1: "Yeah! Just staring in the window at me!"
Peasant 2: "Wow!"
Peasant 1: "Yeah! So I go out, to, I don't know, figure it out..."
Peasant 2: "And?"
Peasant 1: "And they were running up the mountain! Just like that!"
Peasant 2: "Weird!"
Peasant 1: "It was weird! Don't they live in the ocean?"
Peasant 2: "Yeah!"
Hida 1: "..."
Hida 2: "..."
Hida 1: "Fancon today."
Hida 2: "Yep."
Hida 1: "..."

Hida 1: "Yep. New costume. Can't wait."
Hida 2: "Me too. New deck. Can't wait."

Kuni 2: "Big deal? It's a club with all of the Crab Clan's who's who!"
Kuni 1: "So it's kind of like an exclusive secret society?"
Kuni 2: "Kind of..."
Kuni 1: "Sounds kind of lame, actually."
Kuni 2: "Don't tell her that!"

End Scene

Post by Boogiepop »

???

The noise from an old informator played in the background with a local community news showing Fan Con in full swing. The news would cut to live footage showing different areas of Shiawase Island, where a massive Edge of Darkness LARP held by the Green Carp Living Role Playing Society seemed to have run with great success. The show hosts chuckled and questioned the peculiar practices and the strange rules at play for the audience at home, who are generally less versed in the hobby of role-playing and costuming. Nevertheless, they are impressed by the dedication of the role-players and the work put into their costumes.

The live footage would cut to the climax of the evening with several "leech wraiths" surrounding Kuni Sumie, as Lady Beatorisu. The bodacious Queen Besanii, played by Yasuki Ayame, delivered her final judgement to the rebel leader.

Chok! Chok!

The sound of a heavy blade striking a large slab of meat on the table overtook the room. The metal struck into the flesh, cut right through to the bone. It didn't quite go through and through, unfortunately for the user. There was a sound of disappointment, and the gloved hand activated a mechanical grindstone.

Whirrl....

The sharp sound of sharpening filled the room as the attention returned to the informator as it showed Lady Beatorisu was no more. The broadcast, of course, couldn't help but linger a little more on Queen Besanii longer than usual, for obvious reasons. The informator went black as it was immediately turned off. Enough of that.

Chok! Chok! Chok!

The blade would be tested again, showing a better result this time around. Good, but an inanimate piece of meat didn't quite provide the best and accurate results. There was a large map of the city glued to a concrete wall with a few pictures pinned on it, detailing where people were located on Shiawase Island.

She might do.
