Opening Day Prompts!
Whether drabbles or threads, enjoy the Youkai Matsuri's opening day with food, games, shopping, or helping struggling youkai make today a success! If you're not sure where to start, we have a few ideas:
The shateki stall is offering triple tokens and a special prize for whoever can clear a high-risk Nue hunting mission in their obstacle course!
Umi-nyobo's fish-scooping is open! Can you beat last year's record 20-fish scoop? Be careful—these man-eating fish won't go down easily!
A popular yatai cart is having trouble keeping up with orders. They're even looking to festival-goers for help!
An unpopular yatai cart is having trouble attracting customers. They're looking for anyone to help make their stall a hit.
Too bad! You've pulled a penalty in senbon-biki. What kind of penalty is it? A curse, a task, a costume change? How long does it last? Well, maybe Seimei has something in the shop for that!
A Nurikabe has planted themself in front of the festival's entrance, causing would-be festival-goers no end of frustration.
Festival-goers are plagued by a group of Satori, mind-readers who are causing fights to break out by shouting out others' thoughts aloud.
Something has been eating everything from the yatai stalls while the cooks' backs are turned!
A kimono-seller is looking for a model to help market their clothing.
A weapons-seller is looking for a skilled fighter to test the might of their wares! In fact, bring a friend and test them against each other!
A group of snow rabbits (that is, rabbits made of snow) have made a home in the shaved-ice vendor's freezer, much to her chagrin. You're promised a reward if you find them a new home before they melt.
A bunch of youkai children have mistaken you for a famous spirit world hero! Can you handle this newfound (or mistaken) fame? Or will you crush their hopes and dreams?
An enchanted tanto is begging you to be their new vessel, in exchange for overwhelming spiritual power. Or you could help them find a new wielder instead?
Uh-oh! A youkai has trapped you in a loop replaying the same hour until you can complete a task. What task is it? How will you get out? Has a friend been caught in it with you?
A stall vendor is trying to attract a younger audience with something called an "arcade", filled with fun games, claw toys, and even video games and karaoke! Will you even want to leave once you've arrived? Can you leave?!
A celebrity nekomata is in need of an escort around the festival grounds, and you seem like someone with time on their mostly-human hands.
It's said that a great treasure is buried somewhere around the festival grounds... What could it be? How do you find it (or do you find it at all)?
A talking dog sits at the boundary of the shrine, waiting for his owner, who disappeared in this place a long time ago. Can you reunite them?
A master crafter seeks a musician to put the finishing touches on his latest shinobue: a memorable performance to lighten the hearts of all at the festival.
It's time for rehearsals! Eh? What's that? You're not part of the parade? Nonsense! No getting out of this one, slacker! Now, come practice with the rest of us! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
