The Higuri Regalia - proud allies of Abbiocco Fine Dining - is pleased to announce the return of: The Mythril Showcase!
As a refresher to those uninitiated: this fashion show was created during the twilight days of Menphina Madness to provide the frequenters of the Etheirys Blitzball League an opportunity to show off their acumen in style outside of the Blitzsphere. Since then, Thiji Higuri - the merchant-lord and fashion nabob himself - has tested the skill and daring of haute couture hopefuls through various themes.
This time, The Regalia will be teaming up with Abbiocco Fine Dining ( https://abbiocco.carrd.co/ ) to provide an exclusive venue that will open with a sneak-peek of the upcoming clothing line! Select outfits from this arcane collection will be showcased only during this night, and will not be seen or sold anywhere else until the official release of the line. So don't miss out!
(Additional information will be provided closer to the event date!)
With two successful shows now under the Regalia's belt, the deciding of the next theme was opened to the public via poll to give proper closure to this turn; now the results have finally arrived. The theme for the third Mythril Showcase will be: "Kingdoms of the Far East." This inspiration takes from the popularized culture and history of Othard, namely during its warring periods in Hydaelyn's timeline. (TRANSLATION: this cosplay contest is based off the Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors/Warriors Orochi series)
Those who wish to participate are welcome, and will be handsomely rewarded with a glamour weapon of their choosing for their efforts. This time, however, there is a twist: as there were warring factions during ancient times, so, too, will there be specific glamour weapons tailored to them! They are detailed below:
Wei: Knights of the Round/Susano
Wu: Rubellux/Tsukuyomi
Shu: Smaragdine/Shinryu
Jin: Fae's Crown
Other: Warring Triad (Sephirot/Sophia/Zurvan)
Samurai: Four Lords (Seiryu/Suzaku/Byakko)
Orochi: Hades/Seeing Horde
(NOTE: If the faction of the character you are portraying as does not contain your desired glamour weapon, you are allowed to choose from another category. It is advised you do your research beforehand to prevent confusion.)
 The top four winners will receive far more greater prizes:
4th Place Winner: An assortment of Pixie, Archangel, and Statice's Wings!
3rd Place Winner: An Island Adenium Whistle!
2nd Place Winner: A Shishioji Flute!
1st Place Winner: A Voucher of the Higuri!
Tumblr media
(Translation: a commission of your character in the desired outfit will be made!)
(Note: Additional prizes may also be given depending on the quantity of participants!)
The event will take place on Friday, December 22nd at 7PM EST (Doors open an hour prior) - the day of the Winter Solstice! The location: Abbiocco Fine Dining in the Goblet, Ward 14, Plot 35 (Diabolos World). Whether you wish to spectate, or show off your own Power in Beauty, all are welcome to attend!
Contestants will be judged based on a variety of categories on a 1-to-10 scale.  For the sake of fairness, these criteria will be made known to all.  They are as follows:
-Emulation: Cosplaying - as accurately as possible - a certain character from a particular source of media (game/show/movie, etc.)
-Adherence: Remaining within the scope of the theme.
-Embellishment: Complimenting your outfit with accessories and other small details.
-Stage Presence: Your ability to “strut your stuff” via actions or emotes.
-Reception: How well you command the audience’s excitement and attention.
*-Innovation: Any additional nuances to your entry (using minions, reciting lines, etc.) for extra points.
(You may request to sign-up to compete by utilizing this form: https://forms.gle/Xty9CFEdD3aVq3wWA. Sign-ups will conclude prior to the contest’s commencement - 30 minutes prior to showtime.)

China Gate
This game is featured in our Arcade Cult Classics book, which is filled with other unique and obscure arcade games!
Technos created the foundations of the beat-em-up genre with the Kunio-kun and Double Dragon games, but before those series really took off, they released the arcade-only China Gate. The Japanese title is Saiyuu Goumaroku: Ryuubouyougi no Shou (“Journey to the West Exorcism Record: Chapter of Flowing Stick Magic”).

Kugane Night Market
Thursday March 7th
Twilight falls over Kugane and all is well, the streets emptying as the people make their way to their homes seeking the solace of their beds. This evening, however, is not like any other. A sweet smell hangs on the crisp night air and distant music draws you in like a siren's call. You turn the corner and there it is glittering in the darkness. Mesmerized, you make your way between the stalls, laughter echoing in your ears. You ask a passerby where you are and he hands you a mask, his smile wider than his face.
"Welcome," he says. "Welcome to the Kugane Night Market."
Ghosts and spirits, yokai and mortals, as well as those who seek the fantastic or uncanny, all find their way here to the patterned stalls of the Night Market. Whatever you may desire, you will find it here. Every desire has it's price and those who are not willing to pay will find the cost extracted in ways they may not expect. Learn well the rules of this eldritch occasion: mind your manners, wear a mask, and always be sure to be long gone before the market fades back from whence it came lest you find that curiosity too has it's cost.

When: Thursday March 7th [First Thursday of the month] | 8pm EST

Another Wip. It's actually VERY far from done. Also, how much of this lot is going to be useable remains a mystery...
