D-rank
Mission name: Doesn’t Anyone Around Here Work?
Mission rank: Event
Objective: Locate the ceramist.
Location: Namahage Festival
Reward: 10 Tickets.
Mission Description: Locate the ceramist shirking his duties around the festival and convince him to make you a mask for the Masquerade Ball.
Mission Details: While skilled in his craft, there is not a soul familiar with the ceramist that would describe the lazy, obese Oni as reliable or dedicated. As per usual his shop will be found empty, abandoned by the ogre in order to laze about and greedily eat his full. He could be anywhere (Player Choice), but places with food (especially sweets) would be where we suggest you begin your search. When you find him, he will be none too pleased at the prospect of being asked to labor over his kiln and clay. We’re sure you can find a way to convince him (Player Choice).
'So much for friendly!‘
Hanbei had just been wanting to go to the masquerade ball! She hadn't realized that the task to get there was going to be so hard! She had been given directions to a clay maker, supposedly one of the best in the area to make a mask for her. Taking the long winding streets slightly out of town into the darker areas of the namihage she would begin to move a little faster and keeping her eyes out for the monsters that liked to lurk in the darkness. Each of the creatures seemed to gleam out from the shadows until Hanbei would finally come to her ultimate destination. The world around her seemed to open up as a solitary street lamp seemed to light up this area, giving it a breath of fresh air compared to the rest of the street.
'But what she found was disappointing.'
The shop appeared to be derelict if not totally abandoned. Whoever the oni was that kept this place going there was an ungodly odor that seemed to surround the place, like rot. At fist, Hanbei thought the rot would have been from old meat and bodies that would be lying around the area, ogres after all got their name from eating raw living meat as opposed to ghouls eating the dead. Though, this time around, the sickly smell seemed to come from sugar that had gone off and become almost poisonous to the taste and the senses. Coughing a little, Hanbei would immediately get the idea that the Oni was somewhat of a voracious eater, one whom would no doubt have taken advantage of the festival to eat as many treats as possible.
"This is going to be a long mission"
Hanbei would voice to herself, knowing full well that tracking this oni down was going to be a hard task on its own, yet alone no doubt getting it to do what she wanted...
