[ The shot is Toraguma's desk. His sunglasses are on, so his expression is difficult to read, but the way he puffs on his cigar... kind of suggests what's going on.

On the desk in front of him is the remains of some sort of device, likely recovered from the explosion. Jiro is there as well, obviously having done his best to piece it back together and identify what it was, but it seems a conclusion has been reached... ]

The fox... She's a clever bitch, as always. She thought she could throw me off by having a mechanical bomb instead of a mystic one...

[ Toraguma gestured to Jiro, who nervously stepped forward and set down what appeared to be a ruptured container of some kind. ]

"B-but, well... she works with what she has, and it seems they used a combustion relic to cause the actual ignition. But it was tampered with. The seal on it shortened the fuse time, so..."

[ Toraguma cut him off, leaning forward ]

The fox has a spy in her house. So for now... I'm gonna let her put out her own damn fires and get my payback on this later. I don't want any of you losing track of what's ahead of us.

[ Jiro visibly swallows, stepping back and ducking his head, because he knows what's coming next. ]

"Iron Bear" is Kaneguma... my kyoudai... That means no matter what money is on the line, no matter who that Ringo girl is, it's our responsibility as the Shuten Clan to go out there and stop him. No matter what, we take care of him first... I'll deal with the fox bitch after that.

Listen up!

We've got a primary vehicle, but anyone that can ride, you're with us. We head out in two weeks. You have that much time to get ready. If you need to stay behind... so be it. But we're taking this war to Kaneguma.

[ Toraguma leaned back in his chair, once more and just... let out a heavy sigh. ]

And I'll deal with him myself. No one else touches him. Got it?

[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".]

i'm curious;
what kinda shit do you people do for your birthdays?

horrifictie

greetings citizens.

behold: the city speaks! it is a raven that appears in my mind's eye, without a voice and yet with speech all the same. cool cryptid shit. im a superstar prophet now.

do you have any questions you want to ask the city? i'll ask them for you. no lame questions and only one a person! cant waste my new friends time with TRIVIAL mortal concerns.

[ Majima is here with a PSA for all you sweet newbies. He's smoking somewhere in one of the Shuten family offices. He wears a black suit with a red collared shirt underneath. ]

Got a round've new Shutens t'welcome. If ya wanna introduce yerself, now's yer chance.

I'm Majima, th'Lieutenant. My co-lieutenants are Izo, Hizen, an' Nishitani.

Dante, Felix, Minato, Bishop, an' Gojyo are our juniors. Ya need help with somethin', come ask one of us. Yer part of th'clan now, ya got people.

[ With the fucking roll call out of the way... ]

We got a dress code, an' it is enforced. I catch ya lookin' shabby an' I'm gonna send somebody t'straighten ya out. [ Read: Beat ]

When ya are on th'clock for Toraguma: ya need to look right.

Black slacks, long-sleeve shirt with buttons an' a collar. An' one of these.

[ He holds up a shiny little lapel pin, it has the kanji for Shuten on it. ]

We have 'em at th'offices if ya don't have one yet.

Your shirt can be any ugly pattern ya like, or it can be plain. Tie or no tie, jacket or no jacket. If ya need help with a tie, ask somebody.

Shirts an' slacks have t'be ironed. For anyone who doesn't know how t'iron a shirt, someone'll come by th'Shuten housing an' show ya as a group.

Shoes need t'be shined, we can show ya that too.

Give ya a week t'get it sorted, after that there's gonna be hell t'pay.

UPDATE 7.17.2022
EMBER 2.1 (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 since launch, but perhaps unsettling to newbies or those who deleted it previously. It pops open on it's own, welcoming the user and telling them that all Lost Souls need to update to the newest version!

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, 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
For "who even knows why" reasons, users on Ember now 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 something new! 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.

(These cannot be edited or changed ICly by a character and are fully an OOC choice of rank and title! Characters who know Ydris will find themselves with more curated titles, though not necessarily nicer ones.)

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... 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?

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 - 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-?

ONLY~~FANS~~ 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!)

I talked to some of the shops.

Got some of them to agree to get everyone some clean clothes if the rain messed everything up. It's not much but looks are important or something.

hizen used his rank to get a clothes drive/charity going on for the city. handwaving the logistics here but assume everyone gets at least one set of nice clothes from a shop of their choice.
i really just wanted an excuse for everyone to get a nice yukata for the summer so assume there are definitely some kimono shops with summer deals, too. ( ◡‿◡ *)
pretend there's a sign or something at participating locations. it's all courtesy of shuten because hizen hates being perceived.

( About Sparkling Detective Akeboshi Koutarou: Fiance of the Funeral Procession )

paperpusher

Happy Golden Week, everyone! Natori Shuuichi here, hoping everyone is doing well-- especially our new faces! Please let us know if we can help you adjust.

I'm excited to announce that my new movie Fiance of the Funeral Procession, the second film in the Sparkling Detective Akeboshi Koutarou series, is now available in theaters! It's a historical mystery involving a beautiful woman and her beautiful fiance and the dark secrets that they keep. Each film in the series stars a new case with only the detective as the recurring character, so you don't have to have seen the first one! It would mean a lot to me if you could support my coworkers by watching the film.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy ✨

[What Natori didn't make clear is that he is playing Akeboshi Koutarou, though that becomes obvious to anyone who know what he looks like as soon as they come across a movie poster. Shockingly, this is canonically a good movie. A summary of the plot is available here! Feel free to have characters already seen posters/seen the movie if you'd like.]

but thats fine, wwww, because im sure we'll get along!

so, right, Night Parade announcement!

we've set up a Flower Viewing area along the parade route! i know there isn't a lot of natural growth here, but the spectral cherry blossom trees are really cool, and are gonna really light up the place with lovely pink!
ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

there will be lots of food and drink, too!

i wanted to set up arcade cabinets, but the advisors said it's better to just direct traffic to the arcades.

oh well! i hope u have fun! and for my fellow Alliance members, i hope u get some tasty gossip!
ଘ(੭˃ᴗ˂)੭

see u guys at the Night Parade!

[ 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.

Good morning, everyone. I hope you're well.

[read: he hopes that you're not too hungover and that none of you died out there last night.]

Despite the different clans to which we've been assigned, we all find ourselves in strange territory in Jigoku-cho. It may look close to what several of us recognize as Japan, but as you might've already discovered, familiarity does not guarantee similarity. The other day, I met a man who could have easily been from my world, perhaps even my continent or country-- only to discover he hailed from a completely different planet.

So, I'd like to begin gathering information. [He's no Sutoku, but this is important to all of them, and-- as he's been taught-- there are no shortcuts when it comes to investigation.] The more that we know about our fellow lost souls, the more we will have to work from as we learn more about this place and why we're here. We can start with something simple. If you would like, please share where, and when, you are from.

I'll start. I am from Tokyo's 25th Ward, in Japan, on Earth, in the year 2005.
