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~

[ 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.]
1/2
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?
no subject
[ She's sweating just thinking about it, phone slipping in her grip. ]
They're substituting....
[ Hibiki is shivering now. ]
no subject
[Then he's thrusting a hand forward to catch her phone frowning. something tells him they're not the only ones.]
What do you mean substituting? They're going to give you a different cat?
[Now she's shaking and Alan is concerned. Gently, he's steering her to somewhere he can coax her into sitting. A bench will do, that firm parental tone enters his voice.]
I need you sit down for me. And take a couple deep slow breaths.
no subject
[ Hibiki throws a hand out to the side for emphasis. Her other hand curls in a fist. ] If even a single follower who prayed for one doesn't get the right cat, they're going to keep using sentence enders!!
[ Her followers! Using sentence enders!
She can't let that happen to
herthem! ]no subject
Then you oughtn't behave like one.
[He's blinking at her on confusion.]
What the blazes is that anyway? Is it some kind of drug or something?
no subject
[ Ugh. She doesn't want to have to demonstrate this. But that might be the only way for him to fully comprehend the horror. ]
P....prr.....
[ That one isn't working. ]
By....
[ Nope. Can't do it. Not with her own mouth. Not to someone elegant who's escaped thus far. ]
Anyway, they must be stopped!
no subject
Ah, well I don't think some people are aware of that kind of quirk.
[Or it could actually be something they must do for comfort or some such. But he won't press the issue with her.]
Not getting a cat toy won't make something do anything they don't wish to do, Hibiki. That's rather foolish, don't you think?
[Then he's switching tactics.]
Surely your fans are not so fickle. They must be the very best quality of fan with flawless taste - they're your fans after all - so certainly they wouldn't be at risk for developing such an unbecoming behavior.
no subject
[ She scrunches up her face at the thought, but the more she thinks over his words, the more her expression begins to ease up. Alan...Alan raises some sound points. Especially that middle one.
They're her fans, after all.
They're her fans, after all.
She's listening. ]
no subject
In their prayers they're asking for a simple mundane trifle.
[There's a grin tugging at his lips as he leans toward her.]
Surely the Great Hibiki can offer something so much more exclusive to her followers?
[He's taking one of the cats from the bag; holding up the blue and the green cat.]
These are just repaints of these after all - with subtle changes. They're likely cheaply made as well.
[He's arching a brow.]
Surely your loyal followers deserve better. Certainly you could do better. Why should your name be linked to something so common when it should only conjure thoughts of the extraordinary?
[He pauses giving an innocent tilt of the head; peering at he with eyes so bright they seem to be glowing. Time to go in for the kill.]
Or am I mistaken, Miss Hibiki?
