[And we're streaming! The video file is horizontal, but don't let that leave you with the impression that this is going to be any better than your average rookie Instagram reel.]

Wait, we're rolling? Why didn't you say anything? Honestly....

Just go for it!

[Ena stands up straighter, fussing with her bangs in hopes they'll better frame her face. The abandoned alleyway they're filming in isn't the most picturesque location, but that's no excuse. Someone has to be cute here.]

I'm Ena Shinonome. It's nice to meet you. [A polite bow.] We have a dress policy that's kind of lame, but at least you've got options. [She counts off each option as she explains:] A black suit with a tie, a nice blouse and a skirt, or a dress. If you're wearing a shirt, it has to be collared, but can have any pattern you want. And you can accessorize however you want so you can make it cute. Oh, and you'll have to wear this no matter what you decide to wear.

[She unclasps a pin from her collar and holds it up for the camera. Ja-jaaaaaan. Your very own Shuten badge! It allows you to control Pokémon up to level 30.]

The dress code's enforced, [Ena pulls a face; god, this uniform thing sucks––] and you might get beaten up if you complain about it too much. I think that happened to a guy last time we got new people...?

[Ominous!

There's some muffled noise and blurring as the camera clumsily changes hands; from offscreen a muted voice, apparently recorded on accident:]

Wasn't that him?

Come on, bro.

[Hard cut, and the view switches to Kazuma, who looks pretty awkward standing there stiffly with his arms folded. He looks mildly startled that it's his turn already. Apparently they didn't really practice this.]

Uh--faction lieutenants. Faction lieutenants are Okada Izo, Goro Majima, Hizen Tadahiro, Bishop, Felix Frar--Fla--Fraldarius!--and Dante.

[He suddenly looks really pained by something, but nevertheless soldiers defiantly onward.]

Junior officers are Haru Okumura, Lio Fotia, Sha Gojyo, and Minato Suizenji. Find them if you have any questions. Clothing is available at the offices and weapons at the arena if you need them. We're recording this again, right?

[Apparently not! The video hard cuts and changes focus again, this time to the last member of their unfortunate little group project. Travis is wearing the uniform. Sort of. The pants are a little too tight, and his tie is crooked, but that there is the uniform. He stands with his thumbs hooked into his belt loops. His mirrored aviators obscure his eyes entirely.

He says, dead serious:]

Shopping.

I know what you're thinking. [Air quotes:] "I came all the way to Hell just to get a lesson in shopping?" Look, I didn't pick the topic, just roll with me here.

All that curse shit created a lot of problems in our territory, right? If you're new, don't worry about it, it was before your time. All you need to know is that it messed up a lot of the local businesses real bad, and we had to spend a couple weeks beating off hotheaded opportunists with sticks just to rebuild.

[He pauses and beckons for Ena to bring the camera closer. Closer. Yeah, closer than that. Still closer–– yeah, that's good. Here's close-up of Travis's wolfish grin, the rest of his face mostly out of frame.]

It was a pain in the ass. We can't let the small local businesses go through that shit again. It's just not fuckin' sporting.

So Shuten businesses are the ones that need your coin. Only Shuten. You wanna buy a sweet new jacket, new kicks, one of those sick automated toilet seats that washes all your holes and plays a nice jingle so no one hears the splash? Keep it local or someone will come spend it for you.

[Wait, is that actually a rule? Nah, he just thought it sounded cool.

Travis gives a jaunty little wave and the video ends.

There are four minutes of credits, all the same three names, accompanied by an excerpt from Lemon Demon's "Knife Fight".]

UPDATE EMBER 3.1 (OVERFLOW)

The EMBER Application icon flashes alive on the homescreen of all the Lost Soul devices across Jigoku-cho. Not a surprise if your character has been using it already, but perhaps unsettling to newbies or those who deleted it previously. It pops open on its own, welcoming the user and telling them that all Lost Souls has updated to the newest version!

Oh well, why think too hard about it? A lengthy and extremely technically worded Terms of Service appears, even if it's been gone through before, it has some updates. Again, why scroll up to read all that? There's a large ACCEPT button front and center! (There doesn't seem to be a Decline button. Closing out of the App is the only way to not agree... Might want to just delete the App to be safe.)

Accepting moves users forward to App Permissions! A Helpful Window says "Accept All and your profile will be quickly updated or auto-generated for you! Great for speeding set up along! (Recommended)". If that doesn't sway, then each Permission question can be prompted individually. The subsequent windows ask for a variety of totally standard and absolutely above board access prompts. Location Data, Photo/Video Access, etc etc etc- Yes or No! REMINDER: The app will function better if all access is granted!

It doesn't seem to matter what is pressed- all, some, or nothing- the App moves forward for users regardless.
Have fun connecting with your fellow Lost Souls!

EXAMPLE PROFILE

YDRIS (Immortal)
SUTOKU ALLIANCE
☆☆☆☆☆ Creator

✓ ✕
FUCK | FIGHT

STAR RANK
EMBER profiles all have ☆'s denoting... something. The only clarity is that they come with a Title besides them. These are not, as it might first seem, faction star rankings. They're just ranks on some unknown scale. The example profile has the highest rank to be found, 5 stars and the title of Creator.

Everybody else gets between 1 and 4 stars with what seems like an algorithmically generated title. These could be anything from ☆ Stink Man up to more illustrious ☆☆☆☆ Faction Hero. If characters are not happy with their Rank and Titles, they can pay using their profile generated Dragon Coins to reroll. They might get a worse result, so watch out, spending on gatcha can get out of hand...

(OOC Note: Rank and Title cannot be edited or changed ICly by a character, but are fully an OOC choice of rank and title! Make up whatever funny, edgy, cool, silly thing you like and saddle your character with it as their profile title.)

Higher star ranks seem to be weighted in favor of getting Green Checkmarks via the algorithm. Hmm.

SWIPE ¹

Swipe Left or Right, accepting the green or red... proposals? Is that what they are? The App immediately starts a Live Chat between the two parties, complete with recommendations for either highly rated Love Hotels or nearby Fighting Gyms with arenas to use. These come with a variety of discount coupons for use, seems both of these places like to charge by the hour...

ALGORITHM
Stalling on the profile for more than a few seconds results in a loading graphic of a little dancing fire. **Calculating!** it says;

Ding! The In App Algorithm has decided for you! How convenient. The person whose profile was being looked at automatically gets sent a FUCK ✓ or FIGHT ✕, complete with that same live chat initiation mentioned above.

Rarely, there's a third option, essentially an algorithm fail state called CHILL, which still initiates the live chat. That means the system didn't find either of the other two options appropriate. Bummer. It generates completely random suggestions on where to meet, usually a cafe or eatery that is doing an EMBER promotion.

¹ [ DISCLAIMER: At the insistence of one Kim Kitsuragi, there is a link to an additional Terms and Conditions document for which the tl;dr is to "All Ember users engaging in matters of passion and/or violence are encouraged to practice such activities in a manner which remains safe, sane, and consensual.
Any injuries resulting from following through on an EMBER suggestion are not the responsibility of the application. ]

NEW FEATURES - SEPTEMBER
New EMBER, new features! The previous update centered largely around the addition of"EMBER Premium", an area of the app meant for use by Heavenly Celestials (and their wallets).

Lost Soul profiles can receive and cash out a digital currency called Dragon Coins. While Lost Souls cannot interact with the Celestials via the app, the Celestials have some functionality, namely they can donate Dragon Coins to their favorite Lost Souls. Dragon Coins can be turned into actual hell currency through the app- nothing much more than pocket money, but it's a little extra pay! Why not side hustle from your phone?

The big change this update is that Only Celestials seems to have been urolled into the upgraded "EMBER, Go!" a fully functional Augmented Reality Collection Game! Dragon Coins appear as an in-app currency and can be used and collected a variety of new ways, all gamified and presented with cute pixel graphics. Seems that the investment money Ydris hustled up at the Tanabata event went into this and the production value is on point.

EMBER Go!

-GATCHA BANNERS: The Celestials are very visual and they love little more than photos and pretty outfits. Seems they're willing to really whale for their favorites, whoever they may be among the Lost Souls. Those who upload photos of themselves in the current outfit "theme" get a large bonus for contributing to the current GATCHA BANNER running on the Celestials side of things.

September's Theme is "END OF SUMMER" and encourages either fun Beach Wear looks or cozy Autumn outfits. If your character puts in a lot of effort, they might even be the featured SSR for the banner, guaranteeing them a higher bonus pay out! (OOC Note: Character gatcha rate/success is completely at Player discretion!)

-QUESTS: Walking around Jigokucho, the App will buzz and alert of Quests! There are certain activities that when interacted with and posted to EMBER, result in Dragon Coin pay outs. Try out that new boba joint, you get 20% off and a Dragon Coin kick back- just remember to take a photo of your pretty drink.

These are very likely to be active at Character Owned or Managed Locations, so be sure to stop in a support your fellow Lost Souls!

-COLLECT 'EM ALL: The most game part of this phone game, all Lost Soul profiles have a cutesy sprite versions of themselves! They're even animated, how precious... Don't you want to collect the whole roster? These are scattered about the map, spawning characters largely in the areas their faction holds territory. Hopefully nobody walks into danger looking for that shiny variety of their significant other...

You can grab all your friends and enemies, rename them as you please, and play with them as little Tamagotchi-like critters. Level up your favs and play minigames, it's a fun distraction on your device, nothing too deep.

Sure, forgetting to feed them is grim, but why not enjoy loading up an enemy to languish in digital space uncared for. It's cathartic! Maybe be careful, other Lost Souls can absolutely look at your collection and see how you treat them in digital space!

-PRIVATE PROFILE: Don't want any of this? Profiles can be set to Private! This doesn't actually block off from other Lost Souls, but it's an easy way to opt-out of EMBER, Go! and the Celestials. The cost is "all Dragon Coins" currently on account. If you're not playing, they why bother with those?

(Due to some obtuse design choices, it might be difficult to find this option... Your character would be forgiven for not even realizing it's there!)

PROFILE QUESTIONS - MAY
While exploring the App, it will randomly prompt for answers to Profile Questions! Users can choose to chat about these instead of using the Swipe or Algorithm features. Answering questions gains little tokens. Wondering what those can be used for? Good question, because it's not an implemented feature just yet. Who doesn't like to see numbers go up, though? Collect them dragon-coins, maybe they'll be worth something one day.

WOULD YOU RATHER-?

-Be sober your entire life OR be drunk at every important meeting?

-Relive your most embarrassing memories every night OR do something embarrassing everyday, then immediately forget it forever?

-Leave your assigned faction or take over your current faction as leader?

I saw this poster on a wall the other day. Is this real?

( Slightly NSFW image (shirtless Toraguma) in cut )

[ The scene is familiar to most of the Shuten Clan at this point. It's Toraguma's office at the Arena, the wall behind his desk covered in ornate and fancy looking weapons, as well as a giant sake gourd kept in a glass case right behind his chair. It was the symbol of the clan's namesake, the legendary magic gourd of his former master.

Toraguma himself looks... sweaty. Like he's just come from a workout. Or was just eating himself into a sweat, again, as he likes to do. ]

Listen up, you dogs!

[ Oh, and he's yelling, that's familiar, too. ]

The Night Parade is gonna be happening at the beginning of next month!

As you've seen from all the work you've been doing so far, it's a pretty big fuckin' deal! And I want MY guys to show our pride out there when the celebrations start!

We're gonna have a sumo ring set up, and I want all of you guys to muscle up and show this city your mettle! Prizes to those who win, obviously, but if any one with Shuten Clan credentials loses a match, I'm gonna dock your fuckin' pay!

[ Yeah, that sounds about right. ]

And remember to have fun, damnit!

baofeng

[Yizhi is posting from a sock account because he's well aware that authorities come down hard on snooping around. He would encourage you to do the same, but that would be blowing his own cover, so it's gonna be up to you to figure that out.]

Hey, does anyone know what's up with the blocked-off section in the parade route? The one along the Sutoku stretch.

(ooc: feel free to threadjack and mingle around! I made this to facilitate infosharing/communication/theorizing among those investigating the Night Parade plot thread, and don't plan on replying to every thread as my character has little to share himself.)
