What: Crazy Cat Shuffle
When: September 20
Where: Shibuya & Ikebukuro, as well as the Far Shore
Summary: The new Crazy Cat mascot keychains are sparking real passion in Tokyo's hot spots. Brawls have broken out over the extra-rare versions, and all of this angst is attracting ayakashi. The gods have been asked to step in before things get out of control.
Crossing Crisis
- The Shibuya scramble crossing is always busy, but it's especially wild today. Ten new Crazy Cat vending machines have been installed at the mouth of the alley across from Shibuya Station's exit. Rumors are flying that these machines have extra Blue-Star Cats in them: the very rarest kind! A crowd of hundreds of excited fans have gathered, but the people at the front of the lines are buying lots of cats, and the mood is starting to grow sour as the people at the back of the lines begin to wonder if there will be any left by the time it's their turn.
This crowd needs crossing guards... or just someone who can snag some of those ultra-rare Cats and sell them to the back of the line for crazy cash. Everything a god does is righteous, after all.
Sunshine Struggle
- Crazy Cat machines dot the Sunshine City complex in Ikebukuro. The machines here are attracting some particularly nasty ayakashi: jealous little purple creatures with too many legs that stoke buyers' envy and need for more and better collectibles. Under their influence, it's not just the Cats going fast. The local stores are selling out of everything cute on the shelves.
Worse, some of the ayakashi victims are turning to theft when they run out of pocket money. Time to exterminate those bugs before they start a new crime wave.
Taking Stock
- Accident? Sabotage? No one's telling, but a delivery truck carrying boxes of new keychains to restock the machines blew a tire and overturned on a major street. Under the influence of those greedy little ayakashi, collectors are descending on the wreck to snag their favorites before the police show up.
The dazed driver doesn't know what to do, the crowd is starting to get violent, and those Cats do look amazingly cute. And appealing. And, for that matter, valuable.
Bad Kitty
- The cat keychains are super cute! Even gods or shinki might be tempted to buy one and take it home, but taking these keychains back to the Far Shore will give away their hidden secret. It's not just human envy that's attracting ayakashi to the Crazy Cats. There are ayakashi hiding inside this batch of cute kitty dolls, and bringing them through a shrine to the Far Shore will force the hidden creatures out of their plushie prisons.
They're big, they're mad, and they're hungry. And the Heavens are full of souls that smell delicious.
The ayakashi escaping from Crazy Cat dolls on the Far Shore resemble gigantic (taller than a person at the shoulder) versions of the cute plushie cats, with very real and sharp teeth and claws. They run and attack at random once released from the dolls, so even gods and shinki who did not bring the toys back could be faced with a fight. The patrolling shinki will do their best to hold them back with borderlines, but they need help to rend these crazy cats before they do too much damage!
In Summary:
- Placate the crowds
- Squash bitty ayakashi
- Struggle with temptation
- Defeat the cat invasion
- Have fun~
2/2
Hibiki stiffens. ]
no subject
[Alan is moving forward picking up the small green cat toy, idly touching a finger to that stuck out tongue more than a little amused by it. He can admit they're cute, he can see the appeal.]
Everyone just wants a chance to get one of these little things. Especially those there. [He gestures to the bag of Blue-Star Cats.] And people taking more than a proper fair turn seem to be the biggest problem I've seen thus far.
[Is he using the mom tone with Hibiki? Yes. Yes he is. That gentle scolding one that is quietly showing disapproval but ultimately leaving the choice in Hibiki's hands... for now.]
no subject
[ Hibiki's breath is coming ragged now. ]
If I don't.....they'll....
[ Her head lowers, clammy skin contorted in the nobly pained expression of one who is trying to stoically ward off a disastrous future.
Which is to say she's blue and twitchy. ]
no subject
[Alan shakes his head. It clicks and he sighs softly.]
You just want the exclusive ones don't you? You can't keep them all to yourself you know. And these might be the exclusives now but there will be more.
Are you going to do this every time they release a new wave of cat toys? [Disapproving Mom mode has been activated and he's holding the green toy in his hand by the tail.]
One cannot always have everything as the wish, Hibiki.
no subject
[ This is more than a matter of life and death. This is a matter of life and sentence enders.
As such, Hibiki has no room in her mind for things like "common sense" or "explaining to Alan these are for her followers". She has directed her entire attention towards willing the object she desires out of this machine. If even one follower is left displeased.....
She puts in another coin. This time. This time she'll get her third to last cat. ]
no subject
[Idly he's toying with the little green one he holds.]
And not everyone will want the blue star one. Sure it's supposedly more rare and exclusive but to someone this is the cat toy they want.
[Alan is just shaking his head at her before reaching out to take up this cat as well.]
Fine. If you're so insistent but after you get the last of these star cats you're done.
[Something tells him he's going to have his arms full of cats before Hibiki is done. He might be okay with that. Maybe.]
no subject
[ She was always going to do what she wanted anyway; it's not entirely clear how aware of Alan's presence she is in the first place. Certainly her gaze has remained fixed on the machine. ]
As long as they all get one....I won't......
[ But she cuts off that train of thought, as if it's too terrible to complete. ]
no subject
You do realize there cannot possibly be enough to meet the extremely high demand right?
[He'd heard and seen his fair share of prayers about these things and merely shook his head. He wouldn't waste his time and effort on such foolish prayers what would be meaningless later on.]
no subject
[ Her hands are shaking. Stop. Focus. Hibiki stands up straight, closes her eyes. Breathes. Stares down at the machine in contemplation.
She can do this. She is a genius. Only rare things know they deserve the brush of her fingertips. Where? Where is the next -
Inspiration strikes, a flash of light when the rest of the world is dark. She smirks and steps forward. ]
no subject
Part of him wants to tell her there's nothing exactly to prevail against. It's all just luck and chance but he's got a keen feeling it won't reach her.]
All this fuss over stuffed cats. Why if I had any sewing skills at all I could make these things they're rather simple after all.
no subject
[ Now that you're here, you're entourage. Apparently. ]
no subject
How will you know which followers get the blue star cats? There can't possibly be enough for all of your followers. So you have to have some kind of criteria for giving them out.
[Honestly? He's just curious to see how this is going to play out. It's sheer unabashed curiosity that's brought and is keeping him here.]
no subject
[ All the world's a stage, and Hibiki enjoys ad-libbing. She's perfect, anyway. Why would she need a plan?
Anyway, one more cat. One. More cat. Hibiki puts in her coin. Relief from the dreadful fate hovering above her is as good as hers. ]
no subject
[He's not but he's already learned it's best to go along with Hibiki when she gets this way. How does he know? Who else does he know that's this extra?
Why Grell, of course. Even if it's a different kind of extra it's still extra.]

2/2 this doesn't make sense but OH WELL
A little sign pops up:
OUT OF STOCK. ]
Hibiki can't always be first
It seems someone must have gotten one before you got here. You did very well, Miss Hibki.
Let's get out of here before these people see that and get upset with us, hm?
[He's gathering up the bag of all the cats and giving Hibiki a look before taking hold of her jacket sleeve tugging to lead her away.]
in the near shore, gacha plays YOU
But then, just as suddenly, she is pivoting on her heel and walking alongside Alan of her own accord, color returning to her body. Her expression is perfectly calm, as if none of that happened. ] That's right.
[ She reaches into her jacket pocket for something. ]
Well it played Hibiki alright.
Miss Hibiki for goodness sake.
[He'd been about to scoop her up and toss her over his shoulder but he's glad she comes out of whatever stupor she was in. Letting go of her arm he's arching a brow at her.]
Are you quite done with your fussing? You've got all the dolls but one. That should be enough.
no subject
[ Hibiki was looking for her cell phone! Here it is. She dials a number.
Loath as she is to resort to this... ]
Hello? This is the Pandarake Ikepukuro branch, correct? I'd like to reserve an item....
[ She frowns. ]
The pronunciation is irrelevant.
no subject
More over does he even want to know? Is she honestly calling the company about these little blue-star cats?
Well, she's determined, Alan will certainly give her that. Lightly he's reaching to play a hand atop her head grinning. Even if she's a stubborn girl he's fond of her.]
no subject
Not strange enough, however, to distract her from her incredible focus on the task at hand. ] One Blue-Star Crazy Cat. Price is no object. Cash, check, or credit are all...
...please hold?!
no subject
He's just shaking his head at her gently. Whatever will he do with the younger ones around him? He doesn't know but he's speaking softly after Hibiki's shout.]
Miss Hibiki, perhaps missing just one is perfectly fine. Besides, eventually there will be some other very rare exclusive toy and people will want that one, too.
One can not have everything they want. Big or small sometimes you have to learn to do without.
no subject
[ Hibiki grits her teeth, chin bowed. She is no longer looking angry.
She's looking afraid of something. As if not getting that last cat....isn't just about not getting that last cat.
As if dire consequences will ensue. ]
no subject
[Alan's brows are drawing together at her sudden mood shift. Normally, he's so good at reading people then again he's a reaper most people before were literal open books or he knew of and observed them before collections. This girl is different.
He's slipping an arm around her shoulders gently.]
Hibiki. Can you tell me why this is so important to you? It's not just about having the cats. Is it because you're afraid to disappoint people?
