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!

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.

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!)

Good day, everyone. For those who may not know me my name is Xingqiu, I am writing here in hopes that I am able to consult a few people who would be willing to fulfill some minor requests. Of course, anyone who provides me with their aid will be compensated for their time.

First, this part is most important and while I am aware that I did dally in seeking assistance, at this point I believe I am in need of guidance to improve this particular skill. This is embarrassing to admit but it is the only way for me to make progress, however, it hasn't been lost on me that I am completely devoid of talent when it comes to song. It's pretty dire. I have made a conscious effort in an attempt to improve but I don't believe there has been much progress made, so if I can get assistance of any type it would be tremendously appreciated.

The next thing I require aid in doesn't take as much effort, it's far more simple. I require someone who would be willing to sample some dishes. I promise that in this area I am not as lacking, my request for help just comes from the need to hear varying opinions on the progress made in my attempts to improve the formula of a few selected dishes. Basically I need a taste tester.


Before I forget there is one more thing, not to worry, I am not requesting any more assistance. This is a direct message to Megumi, I believe we have some important business to discuss~♡

Good day, Sutoku Alliance. Lieutenant Matoba Seiji here, with new orders.

By now I hope you have all seen our boss's words regarding attending the opening of the Tamamo Clan and the Shuten Clan's new facilities in the Underground. You may have noticed some disparaging comments from the leaders of the other clans towards my fellow Lieutenant, Sakamoto-san, regarding agreements he had made on our behalf in negotiating the recent truce.

The Sutoku Alliance does not traditionally choose the sword over the pen, you may have noticed. Instead of chasing aggressive expansionist policies, the clan views it as preferable for all if the city remains in a state where business can be conducted freely. Of course, a preference for peaceful resolutions does not mean that we are going to sit idly by as other clans lay claim to resources that do not belong to them, or to toss around threats towards our members as if we will take them lying down.

The Shuten pride themselves on their appearances and tight-knit community. I would like us to demonstrate that our unity is stronger.

Therefore, for those attending the opening celebrations, I am strongly suggesting adherence to a sharp dress code. For those that prefer suits: excellent materials and fit, shined shoes, clean and pressed shirts. Please ensure that your Sutoku pins are displayed at your lapel if you are not engaging in subtlety at the time. Kimono and dresses should be elegant and of good make. No one has to know how much you really paid as long as you can pull off the expensive look, yes? Those who are experienced with fashionable things, I ask that you help out your peers.

The Sutoku Alliance has a number of department stores and clothing retailers in its shopping districts. Sakamoto-san and I have negotiated discounts in exchange for the advertising of our members wearing their clothes, so do be sure to give them some credit if anyone is eying you up. Sutoku press will also be present at the event in order to advertise the new facilities and will be focusing on our presence as well, so put on a pretty face.

If you require financial aid, I will make forms to request it available at the clan offices in Konoha. Please, feel free to raise any further questions here.

As the Daitengu has noted, attendance is not mandatory. But if you appreciate what Sakamoto-san has done to bring us all a return to prosperity, I believe the show of solidarity would be meaningful.

Please consider it. And remember that wars are not won only with power, but with politics.

isn't peace wonderful? Or, at least, it's better for business.

you've all done such fantastic work lately, i think you've all earned a break, so i'm fully encouraging members of the Alliance to attend the festival! (⌒▽⌒)☆

we all owe you thanks for assuring this could happen, considering everything.


(・□・;) oh! also! about the Kasasagi Tengu Tribe. i've personally met with them and smoothed things over! sometimes i realize my faith in Sakamoto-san is not so universally shared, but i think i've done a good job of convincing them!

though i'm sure they'd appreciate it more of the Alliance came away with full pockets! (*^∀゚)ъ


use some of that extra Stardust i know you've saved up to buy in your way to a table. and always~

Hello. I have a question for all the Lost Souls:

What is love in your reality?

To be more specific, I am talking about the kind of love you find between two lovers. I realize how strange this question may sound. But this is very important to me and I would appreciate it if as many people as possible could reply to this with serious answers.

NEW FEATURES - JULY

So, what is in the Update to EMBER? Plenty! And much of it unseen to Lost Souls. Ydris has spent most of their time creating a splinter branch of the app denoted as "EMBER Premium" and it is for Celestials only. It is a pay to access service with a delightful little thing called microtransactions. Seems those Dragon Coins from answering Profile Questions do have some purpose! 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 cashed out through the app for a small cash bonus- some extra spending money, nothing too crazy. By what rate compared to what they're being purchases at is unclear... Oh well. It's a little extra pay! Why not side hustle from your phone? There's even a leader board!

How does one become one of the favored souls, anyways-?

ONLYFANS CELESTIALS

-MORE PHOTOS: Simple enough, the Celestials are very visual! They're more likely to donate if a Lost Soul has appealing photos on their profile.

-PLAYLISTS: Some curious Celestials like to see what music tastes are had among the Lost Souls. List a few songs you character is fond of or just selected at random to fill the missing profile element for a Dragon Coin bonus.

-QUEST NOTIFICATION: Some Celestials like to be a little more involved, so they spend to create a Quest. These can be sent to individual Souls or picked up from a virtual Bulletin Board. They are experiences or tasks to do around town and document! The app provides a location map should it require going to a certain place. These are largely benign requests such as "Take a photo drinking the new boba tea at this shop!" or "Share a story about your homeworld" or "Post video performing your favorite karaoke number!" Sometimes, they are requests to do good deeds or participate in local volunteer efforts.

Very occasionally, they are more saucy requests for lewd photos. Those requests cannot be sent to individuals! The Celestials get what they get when asking for those on the bulletin board!

Whether it's a rare moment of Ydris' coding filtering correctly or just the Celestials having collectively better judgement than those in Hell; no illegal, harassing, nor dangerous requests can be posted.

-LEADER BOARD: OOC OPT IN/OUT here to have your character added to/kept off of the HEAVENLY HOTNESS LEADERBOARD. This will be a purely RNG'd list of characters the Celestial's favor most. It will be updated every 1-2 weeks for the next (2) months, as I have time! Watch the rise and fall as a variety of results play out.

The Current Leader Board is linked here!

-PRIVATE PROFILE: Don't want the attention of these strange beings? 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 any of this funny business. 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!)

[ When the camera feed clicks onto focus, it's settled on the frame of a young woman. Dressed in a pink dress with a red biker's jacket, she adjusts something out of view briefly. To some, this is likely a very familiar image: Aerith never seems to stop working, always looking to do something. In this case, it's clear she outdoors, under the warm glow of Hell's sun (or the equivalent of it, at least.)

She comes back into view, braid slipping back over her shoulder as she turns her head back to the camera. A woven wicker basket slipped over her arm and hanging from her elbow, she smiles brilliantly, brightly, and without abandon. ]


Heya!

[ Normal greeting so far. Still, it's not like the network is her usual point of address at this point. The camera stays balanced, on a chair, or table, or something else, perhaps. Aerith steps back several feet to reveal the area she's in: A field of flowers. Keen-eyed viewers will see that there's a number of different breeds of flowers decorating the open field. People with familiarity of the city might note that this appears to be an area in neutral territory that was underdeveloped and forgotten at some point. Nature had been reclaiming it, but with greenery, dying trees, and burnt grass. This space had no flowers, as late as just a few hours ago.

Until now.

They stand in full bloom, impossibly bright and cheerful, as if giving their own greeting to the audience. The woman in the pink dress, Aerith, places her hands together, over her lap, excitedly turning back to look out into the field as her hair trails in the wind. Then, turning back to the camera, she leans forward at the hips and places her knuckles there, too. ]


So, what do you think? Not too bad, huh? It took a while, but I managed to make them all grow myself. I... really want to fill this place up with flowers. After everything we've been through, I think that'd be nice. Don't you? Everyone needs a reminder from time to time that life never stops moving. It keeps growing, and blossoming, no matter what. I think we can be like flowers in our way, and these children will be a good reminder! Now, let's get started on that, shall we? If anyone wants some flowers, let me know.

If you need something specific, I'll make it for you. Sky's the limit, so don't hold back. As for the price, we'll negotiate. I've got experience with this, so leave it to me.

[ Guess who unlocked the ability to grow flowers at will? This gal. ]

Hello. I've been told of the dangers of giving my name and picture to a wide network before, please accept my username for now.

There has been a lot happen here, but one thing sticks in my mind in the quieter hours that I would rather it not. I'd like to hear about the experiences people have with leaving others behind. Good or bad. Here, home, or another world. I've tried writing letters. A new notebook since my old one is lost to me. The new one doesn't seem to feel the same way. I've tried late night work outs, jogs, odd jobs in the evening, wandering and what one gentleman called the "night life" which I still don't completely understand. I could go to the same places in the day. All in all, I'm out of ideas.

Hearing any way that you deal with those thoughts constructively is something I'd be thankful for.

Thank you for your time and help in advance.

[ The video is the audience chamber within Mizukume. Against all odds, sitting alongside Tenkohime are Toraguma and the Daitengu, all three wearing the stains of work, the tell-tail signs of stress, sweat, and blood. Captain Shiki is there as well, standing just off to the side, looking much the same.

Before them are two chalices, and before those two tantou. Each had been made quickly, and decoration is absent entirely. They're meant to serve a very specific purpose.

Tenkohime gestures to Captain Shiki, who turns to address the camera. When she speaks, her tone is even, but stern. ]


Thanks to the efforts of Gainsboroug, Bennett, and Dyer, we've developed a means of staving off the cursed energy with specialized incense. These chalices were built to accompany them, and provide a relative safe zone of about 18 meters length.

[ She gestures at the two chalices ]

That's enough space for two steams of five to enter the tower. One heads up to the 88th floor to recover the Enma, the other heads down to the 8th Level Basement to the Containment Zone to find the source of the energy.

[ She then gestures to the two daggers ]

Jiro, of Shuten, created these from recovered Hihi'irokane. They should have the power to seal away the source, if it can be found, and stop this.

[ She steps back, the Daitengu speaking next. Their voice is calm, almost soft. ]

I'll guide the first team heading up Kaigo no Bou. I've selected Minato Suizenji, William Bonney, Hu Tao, and Cain Knightley to accompany. Our mission is to find and secure the Enma...

[ And boy, does the Daitengu have a lot of thoughts about that fact... Toraguma speaks next, his voice the usual gruffness, though clearly somewhat restrained ]

I'm leading the second team, heading in the sublevels. Felix Hugo Fraldarius, Hunter Anna, Cloud Strife, and Sergeant Andy, you're all with me!

[ Tenkohime is the last to speak, taking a small draw from her pipe and allowing herself a tired sigh before addressing the camera. ]

The rest of you, we're still securing positions and making certain is accounted and cared for. We must do our best to assure there's a city left to save, after all...

Good luck, everyone. The teams will leave first thing at midnight.

(〃 ̄︶ ̄)人( ̄︶ ̄〃)


first of all i want to thank, deeply, everyone who helped with the apology tour. your efforts have helped the Alliance get back on its feet, and things are finally back in a positive direction.

because of your efforts, i've been able to get the other faction leaders to agree to a sort of make-up event for how the Night Parade ended.

are you ready for this?!

Σ(*ノ´>ω<。`)ノ BEACH PARTY!! ヽ(´ω`○)ノ.+゚*。:゚+

i organized a work project with several remaining members of the River Kappa Tribe, and while things are uh.

tense.

in the Underground, we've managed to build an amazing Indoor Beach facility in the derelict concert hall that was near Konoha ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ

stay tuned for news from each faction leader on the kind of activities to expect!


Yes, even The Enma. Because I understand his primary desire is keeping face, isn't it?

110020011102011’103 001 033032011-103110033102121 020033111103011 021032 113020021003020 011112011102121110020021032013 021103 121011030030033113. 121011030030033113 113001030030103, 121011030030033113 010033033102103, 121011030030033113 012111102032021110111102011. 113020001110 003033030033102 001102011 110020011 103110001021102103?

Hints;

[PS: If you feel like your character would be able to solve this but you personally cannot or will not do math, you can dm me or hit me on discord for a hint/the answer! Otherwise please just bully Fukuda for this horseshit.]

Hello. I am a bit new to this sort of technology so sorry if I'm making any mistakes but hopefully everyone will see this.

My name is Cain Knightley. I'd attach a picture if I knew how, but I'm not really sure how the camera works?

But that's not important what is important is that

look,

I know it sounds odd but if you meet me, I can't see anyone until I touch them. It's a curse I got from fighting the moon and other wizards have them, but that's their right to tell you.

I'm just stating this now so I won't run into as much trouble later. Sorry for any sort of incidents I've caused before!

Also, if any of you guys have one of these funky little clay statues but doesn't want to go to the Enma department, please just give them to me. I'll ensure they get there safely.

A new Application icon has appeared on the home screen of your character's device! It pops open on it's own, welcoming the user and telling them that all Lost Souls need to join!

It doesn't specify by whose order, or if it actually is mandatory, but why think too hard about it? A lengthy and extremely technically worded Terms of Service appears, but 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 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
       
FUCK | FIGHT

SWIPE

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... discreet alleyways with nearby emergency clinics. (These might get presented to the wrong matches from time to time, coding is hard).

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, doesn't the DMV sounds like a great place to hang?

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?

-EMBER is a separate app on a character's phone which functions using the main network.
-This is fully canon to the game! Threads on this post or using the prompts above for Log Posts of your own both count as a SUBSTORY thread. Per mods, these can be used for rewards!
-Post a profile below, include IC answers to the Profile Questions, and/or tag around to other characters using the SWIPE and ALGORITHM prompts! Blame as much as you like on Ydris' at times shoddy programing! Have fun!
-Feel free to repost the Profile HTML provided for IC inboxes if you like, but please do not take these out of this post and make individual EMBER profiles on the Network, as that would clutter up the main network very fast.
-Check out Ydris' OPT-IN if you want them to have access to your character's information through this app. This is NOT required to play around with this. The ToS basically just applies normal network rules to this post, messages are public unless explicitly marked [private] in the header. (Ydris will not have access to Private Messages unless the player Opts-In!)
