video; un: TIGER-STRIPED, LOCKED TO SHUTEN CLAN

[ 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?


[[ooc: Characters are free to thread among themselves here. Toraguma will likely not respond unless directly addressed. Jiro may respond, as well. ]]

EMBER 3.0 - A Social App for Lost Souls! [September Substory]

⬦ ⬦ ⬦


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.

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!)

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!)

[ Welcome to this Helltube video. It definitely looks like just Majima with his hair down sitting on the otherside of a plain, empty table. The background is pretty plain white with a window too. They just moved in to a new apartment. She'll tell you all about it. When Goromi begins to speak, she has a smokey falsetto and speaks with a lilting Osaka-ben, pleasant and musical. ]

Welcome to th'show. If ya don't know me, I'm Goromi. I'm a hostess around town. As ya might've seen in yer local paper, my apartment complex got burned t'the ground.

Lost all my dresses and things an' now we gotta restock.

[ She reaches under the table and unceremoniously plops a bunch of shopping bags onto it. ]

Might as well do a lil haul video, huh?

[ It's a pretty candid video, without any editing. As if she knows how to do that, so she's just filming. She starts with the makeup. She takes out the products one by one and also starts on her face with them, talking about what she's doing as she goes. ]

This look's just for goin' out on th'street, I'll show y'all what I do for the clubs another day, yeah?

[ The street looks is fairly light, blush and bronzer bringing more of a sharp and feminine look to her face. Winged eyeliner, shaped brows, and a plain old red lipstick. She ruffles her hair briefly when she finishes. ]

Now, let's take a look at what we got for outfits...

[ More bags dumped up onto the table. She pulls out items, says which store she got them from and their price. Most are averagely affordable, it's only when she gets to the fancy dresses that the price rises dramatically. She pulls one out to try on, disappearing off screen for a moment to not be indecent. She comes back to the camera to look at it, clearly there's a mirror behind where it's filming. A vanity table then? She turns back and forth, arranges her gloves. Majima's tattoos show out onto the chest and shoulders and down the low back. Her long, powerful snake's tail flicks and sways. ]

What'd we think? Cute, yeah? I like red. Lil fancy for today though.

[ You don't wink when you only have one eye, but her smile and the way her nose wiggles gives the impression anyway. She disappears back offscreen and changes through a couple more street wear looks. She settles on one and sits back down at her vanity. ]

Hey, hope ya had fun watchin'. I'm on EMBER with un: GOROMI. Send me yer outfits or questions if ya wanna.

[ She wiggles her fingers goodbye and then reaches forward to turn the camera off. ]


[[ OOC; youtube video style, so comments can easily be threadjacked and she might answer some of them! Also you can slide into her DMs her on EMBER, just mark it as that! Aaand open log. ]]

There's a cigar in his mouth, but no one is going to say anything to him about getting smoke near the fabric. He looks at the camera through the mirror, grumbling. ]

As much as I don't like admitting it, that masked weirdo who somehow ain't dead is right.

I appreciate the enthusiasm my boys have shown lately, but it might be more productive to blow off steam in a way that ain't causing property damage. I guess.

[ The tailor approaches him with a jacket, slipping it over his broad shoulders and making little marks with a white marker. Toraguma proceeds ]

But that doesn't mean our pride isn't still on the line!

[ That poor tailor gets shoved aside, stumbling back and crashing into a rack of dress shirts. Toraguma turns full to the camera and points ]

If there's volleyball, you're winning!

If there's shoulder chicken, you're winning!

If there's surfing, you're winning!

If there's a drinking contest, you're winning!

You got that?! I don't want to see a single one of you show those bastards a hint of the other cheek! We're gonna show them how the Shuten Clan likes to party, and if they're too weak to handle it, that's their problem!

[ And then he bursts out laughing, taking out his cigar and stuffing it into an ashtray placed on a nearby stool ]

BWAAA HA HA HA HA! That's right! We're gonna kick this party's ass!

[ The tailor sighs, stepping right back into place and going back to their work, having recovered ]

Oh, and one more thing, I expect you all to look good, too. If you ain't got a bathing suit, we'll provide you one.

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.

I really, sincerely hope I'm not alone in thinking signing up for a dating app first thing in a strange new world is an incredibly stupid thing to do right?

It has "scam" written all over it.
