JOB POSTING ONE! BIG PAYOUT FOR EASY WORK!
I am a pharmacist looking for some brave adventurers willing to go down into the dungeon and collect dongle flower milk for me. I need at least 10 bottles! This is an important ingredient in one of my popular prescriptions. I am not athletic enough to go get it myself and my supplies are running low.
Please deliver all dongle flower milk to the medical shop in the northwest corner of the market. Please note, I need FULL bottles. Do not skimp or I won't pay!
JOB POSTING TWO! HELP A WOMAN'S GROWING BUSINESS!
I am a young lady looking to expand my make-up business. I heard rumors that there's water in the dungeon that could make an AMAZING base for make-up products. But it sounds like it's super scary in there and I don't want to go. Please, someone, help!
You can bring all bottles of dungeon water to the make-up booth in the southeast corner of the market. I'm willing to pay in chips or trade some of my current products. My face masks and nail polishes are really good!
JOB POSTING THREE! PLEASE DON'T ASK WHY!
Hello. I need many dungeon slime cores, so I am looking for everyone and anyone willing to go slime hunting and gather some for me. We can negotiate pay based upon the number of slime cores brought. Do not inquire what the slimes or their cores are needed for.
Please bring all slime and slime core deliveries to back door of the Dried and Baked Sundries shop. Thank you!
JOB POSTING FOUR! I WANT COLLECTABLES!
If you're going into the dungeon, I want collectables. If you find that fabled treasure room, bring me back something cool and shiny. I'm willing to pay good money! I don't care what it is as long as it's hard to get and I can brag to my friends about it.
You can find me drinking in the tavern. I'll be wearing expensive velvet and a tiny hat with a feather.

▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header. The top level directory is for new characters only. We want to make sure new characters are prioritized and receive attention!
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread regardless!

spoilers it will be because lol and lmao
When the Fox Mask speaks in answer, it's not exactly deferential. Any outright aggression is contained, simmering beneath his suspicious tone. An attempt to be diplomatically calm in such a vulnerable situation,]
You don't appear... trapped at all. Who are you? What am I here for-?
nods fast
[Arms folded into kimono sleeves adjust idly, hands out of sight. The man turns his head to glance back towards the slitted window- more like the breathing holes in a carry box for a small animal, than meant to give a view.]
But nonetheless, I am equally unable to leave this chamber. In fact, there doesn't seem to be a proper door. If I had to guess, it's being hidden with a spell, but I've been unable to locate it as of yet. I imagine our captor will want us to complete some ridiculous task in order to break it.
[He skips only one of Fox Mask's questions, the one he deems unnecessary to answer. Beasts don't need to be given introductions. His head turns back, and as his eye takes in the man's full form again, he adds with a considering tone,] ...I have some idea of what that might entail.
no subject
[the eerie calm he speaks this with is perhaps impressive. There's anger, but it is so respectfully subdued that it reads with utmost confidence. Nobody would dare abduct and kidnap the heir to the Tsuneki's, yet it seems they have, so they will face the consequence of that.
The Fox Mask is entirely certain, at least for now, that that retribution will only take a matter of time to resolve. Which means for now, they need a more immediate solution.]
I take it you're familiar with this situation. What would your idea be?
[he's already near certain he's not going to agree to it, regardless of what it may be]
no subject
[But beasts are most dangerous when cornered and caged. His distance is meticulously maintained, even when he's appraising the goods.]
Normally, they expect us to fuck.
[He delivers the blow like a blunt object, and watches in order to see how it's taken. But he pauses, and then adds with a thoughtful trail,] Between the two of us, however, perhaps we could overpower the magic in this room. Are you able to sense anything useful?
no subject
Eventually, perhaps even with some comedic timing, he gives a cringe of a smile.]
That won't be happening. We'll dispel the curse on this place before it could.
[He's settled on that. With a long breath inward, he reaches a hand up and gives a firm wave with two, extended fingers. There's a shudder in the air, a clear show of force bucking up against the spell containing them.
Alas, no motion beyond that. So much for his first attempt. He huffs,]
I hold no authority here. Have you any command of this space?
no subject
[Spoken after a span of the silence. Matoba's smile, perhaps just a touch too gleeful, seems to revel in the awkwardness that sinks into Fox Mask's expression; he doesn't hide one bit that he's the sort that feeds on seeding a bit of harmless (??) chaos.]
[No need to belabor the point. He'll learn soon enough.]
Well, I haven't much interest in fucking beasts, anyway. [Presumption implied, he turns again to face the grated window he'd been inspecting, and the walls enclosing them.] I may not command the space right now, but it may be possible to take control by force.
With your cooperation, of course. [At last his hands withdraw from his sleeves, clutching an ofuda between two fingers.] My assistance for your freedom. That should be a fine exchange, agreed?
no subject
He'll still quip back, given the presumption of that comment is a rather interesting one,]
All men are beasts, so I could say much the same. [somehow, he doesn't buy that from Matoba, he's much too casual about the idea in the first place.
His eyes do light up behind the mask at the reveal of the ofuda in hand. That might help them out of this predicament.]
If I'm free of these chains, I could break through the bars with force. Do as you must.
[if he tries to transform with the yoke still around his neck, he'll grow to fit it too tight for escape. He doesn't have the strength to lift it off himself with his present strength, cursed with weakness by his arrival. So, he needs that help, then he can do his fair part.]
no subject
[Matoba's eye seems to sparkle with delight at the fox biting back. He flicks and turns the ofuda in his fingertips thoughtfully.] Survival and its struggles make an unsightly mess of us all. I prefer cooperation, myself. [Although the nature of his too-bright smile, like a frog painted in bright colors as a warning, lends a lot of doubt to that claim.] So I would be glad if we could avoid anything unsightly.
[But it sounds like that's an agreement, right? So he takes a few more cautious steps forward- still with that ofuda in hand, a warning as though Fox Mask may bite the hand that feeds at any moment- and sets his hands on the manacle on his shoulders. It's heavy indeed, although Matoba grips at it and plants his feet with such white-knuckled confidence that the weight seems as though it's no object to him.]
[He is a sleight man up close, though. Some consternation builds in the huff through his nose and the crinkle of his brow as he lifts it, the weight wavering with the clink of chains as though it might slip out of his grip and slam back down, heavy, on Fox Mask's shoulders. But he grits his teeth and finally manages to throw it off just over-head of the ears on the man's mask, which now that his hands are free and he's taking a moment to catch his breath, he notes blending into his hair, as if permanently sealed to his face.]
[Ayakashi, indeed.]
Now then, [Matoba says, lightly breathless. He waves an arm towards one of the walls with the fingers grasping the ofuda, a little more casual in his exhaustion.] I sensed something from that corner. Perhaps a seam in the spell. Shall we give it a try?
no subject
He may hold no authority over this space, but at least he can help illuminate the magic within. A heavy breath is taken inward and then very, very slowly outward with teeth bared. From the air manifests three, fist sized balls of flame. Blue and crackling as they float in mid air.
A gesture sends them on their way, the fox fires meandering towards what Matoba indicated. They have no power to break the seal, but should make it easier for Matoba to see, illuminating and making the structure more visible to those with a keen eye.]
Does that help?
no subject
[Ahh- Matoba's eye lights up in the glow of the foxfire, watching it drift towards the wall and hover just in place of where it's needed. Rounding the space so that he can cast his gaze anew over what they illuminate, his attention seems caught on something and he hums to himself, exchanging the ofuda in his sleeve for a stick of incense.]
Good work, fox. ...Tsuneki, was it? Now, let's see if we can't reverse our fortunes.
[He holds the incense stick up to one of the bobbing balls of flame, smoke curling upward from its tip. A spicy, herby scent begins to fill their cell- and then, as the smoke trails upward it forms into the shape of one butterfly, then another, and another, until a small flock of them flutter upward and then swarm upon the wall.]
[The swarm "feeds" on the curse that was written over the wall then disperse, dispelling the illusion to reveal... A heavy cell door hidden beneath.]
Hum. [Matoba snuffs out the incense against the stone, tapping the char away idly and rattling at the door's heavy handle. Not budging...] ...Now this, I do not have anything to solve.
