Travelling merchants & Onmyoji
On your way to each encounter, be mindful of Other mischievous yokai skulking about. It's advised you wear a mask so you're less likely to be eaten by wandering Mononoke... They may not stop you, but you may find your pockets lighter or heavier than they were prior!
There is no specific order to doing these interactions. Go where you please and what interests you the most! Do as many or as few as you wish. You may even come across some traveling merchant carts!
Once you are finished with your map, feel free to wander about! Though it should be close to tale time! Make sure to not get lost and keep your mask ON. Onmyoji will be there to guide you if you are worried.

Shinchu Stamp Rally
The insect deity Shiragi has made her presence known, and with it, a challenge to the people of the festival. Complete it to her exacting standards, and you shall find yourself rewarded handsomely. Fail, however, and the door of auspicious fortune may yet be lost to you forever. So come, mortals. Let us partake in this grand revelry together~.
The perfect snowcone
You feel a cold chill as you walk by this venue. The smell of sweets tickles your nose, causing you to turn and look at what it could be. A yuki-onna stands there, with snow cones and a variety of flavors available for you to try today. But theres no flavors listed anywhere..... Do you take a risk and enjoy a sweet treat from this woman? Or do you keep away..... And risk not being able to taste something magical?
Wheel of (Un)luckiness
A fox with a wheel, turns the wheel and discover your fate. Will luck be in your side or will you be curse for a time.
An Oni's Brew
An oni has appeared within Kugane! One with various brews beside him, two full tables worth. Each of them just as unique as the other. He's looking for taste testers! Beware, you may leave a different person than what you were before taking a sip~
The Honey-Roll Pact
Locals whisper of wandering spirits who trade blessings for sweets. Tonight, they linger near Ash & Loaf, drawn by the scent of famed honey rolls. Offer one, and you may be granted safe passage through the yokai crowd. Refuse… and you might wake to find your bread turned to stone.
Wishwaters
A dark pool shifts before you. As you gaze into it, you see the ripples silver, and dancing just beneath the surface is a shoal of small fish. A voice tells you to place your hand into the wishing water. Do you? You feel the pulse of an unnatural chill which betakes you, and the fish begin to shift into a vague shape beneath your fingertip. You hold your breath, but you must breathe...you must, or the wishwater will swallow you whole, and make your dreams a part of itself.
(This encounter will be available at 10PM EST!)
Cheering the Menreiki
Her horns show, which means her black mask is worn. An omen, mischief to be done. Haunting anyone near her passively with her many floating masks and many hung on walls to spook people or even take their sweets n' treats. Bow to her and she will speak. Gift her something and the haunting will stop. Make her a mask and she will gift you a mask of protection.

Mortals beware the possibility of being spirited away. By joining to the parade, you subject yourself to the presence of Mononoke. do your best to keep your mask and follow the trail until our otherworldly friends are satisfied.
