The setting is in the middle of a forest – the darken area tells that it's evening, - Mia is seen in the forest, she carrying a blanket and a picnic basket. She found a clear and wide space; she swings out the blanket –the blanket glides down in the air – Mia clapped her hands.
a table began to spawn from the ground, the cloth drapes/lands over the table – chairs grew from the ground after – Mia felt elated after she put the basket on the table "all set!" Mia announces. Silence was her only response at first.
She pulled out form the basket, a large bottle with a Japanese symbol written on it, Sake. Some stepping and dragging sounds are herd.
many corpses (zombie) ghouls – many of them were in business suits and school uniforms; several of them were in nooses, smashed open heads – it was clear now what forest this was, the Japanese suicide forest!
Many of the corpses took a seat on the chairs, Mia first poured a cup of sake to a Gentleman the seemed the oldest, the elder rubbed the back of his head – some of his dirt and flesh broke off – he was embarrassed. the large eerie dinner party went on, the Younger ones were served green tea, laughter filled the air – some limbs and Jaws flung out!
The reason this takes place in Japan is because John Poe /Jack the ripper/ has been going around the world to search for new attractions for his circus
Heading towards the red section of Tokyo, drinkers, gamblers and, other sorts of people that provides other sorts of adult services.
he was heading into a certain building. What meets with him first was a middle age woman – still looking like in thirties , a business suit, large sun glasses with a yellow rim on it - "/welcome!/" she looked at John's odd attire "/cosplay?/" she asked with her head a bit tilted.
"/You can assume that!/" John said as he stroked the brim of his hat – the hat beast, Abby, growls -
"/Alright, so which of my girls would like to take in one of the rooms?/" she asked as she place a stack of bio sheets of different women.
He flicked up a smirk "/actually, I have a proposal!/" he places his hand on her shoulder.
She looked at his arm as he did, of course she could have snapped away but after she caught a whiff of his dead skin she didn't "/... in five minutes!/"
He bows his head; the eye of his demon hat sprang open –the sound of it opening was fleshy!
-
in the back room of the front desk
John sits on a guest seat with his leg rested over his other. Abby, the demon hat is next to him – dog like it sat obedient -
After five minutes, The door opened and out comes the front desk business woman - her shirt collar unbuttoned.
John had his fingers laced together "/ah such a lovely sight!/"
"/So, what proposal? Are you asking me to marry you?!/" she held her cheeks as she blushed "/B-but this is so sudden! /"
Jack the ripper (John Poe) stook up his hands and gestured/waved them "/I am just giving an invitation to come merge with my circus! This could benefit you to gain more customers for your – um - 'pleasure' hotel!/"
"/oh! Hmmm, even though there is a bunch of perverts, not many have customers have been coming lately since other love hotels have been popping up!/" she rubs her tummy as it grumbled.
John's eyebrow flicked up "/you know, the feast in the circus has an unlimited buffet and the meals are always fresh!/"
Drooling at the thought, which she wipes it off "/*Aheem* very inviting! I'll think about it! Just one question, why now?/" she asked.
"/Simple, I was just bored and things have grown less entertaining!"/ John explained as he shrugged.
after a minute of letting her ponder "/what do you say miss-/"
"/Just Misao is fine!/" Misao answers quickly, interrupting John
Next stop Mia takes a trip to another forest. unlike the suicide forest , there was no risk of seeing a dead body around – some animals were around – she finds an old Shinto temple ahead.
She pulls out a map, it seems this is place another one of her destination goals in this country!
The temple looked old, but still seemed safe for Mia to enter. Inside was empty. as she stepped forward, the floor creaked and as she walking carefully but still the floor is creaking – blue flame balls appeared and followed her, Mia didn't notice it -
"Who're you?!" shouts a deep voiced male, catching Mia off guard.
The floating blue flames went ahead of her – the flames circle – the room began to lighten up as candles emitted natural bright yellow fire, showing a young boy, child with fox ears and tail and still he has that deep voice "well?"
Mia Was taken back from this reveal "a kid? You speak English!"
"I've learned different languages after so many centuries! Now tell me, who are you and what do you want?!" the deep voice was becoming threatening, even if it' from a child.
"Ah! Um M-Mr. fox! Jack the ripper, wants to invite you to come join his circus!" Mia answered as she bowed!
"it's Sano and why should I care for what some British guy wants?" Sano uses his pinky to pick at his ear as he asked, using his tail as a seat.
"actually his name really is John Poe, he just likes the title 'Jack the ripper'!"
Elated as Sano hears the name "Oh John!" he hopped down and the blue flame absorbs him and hat comes out is Samo's full form
– adult, thin, and muscular; more fitting to have that voice, nine orange tails, long hair, claw like sharp nails, samurai armor skirt over his bottom half of Japanese ancient clothing (still looking freshly new) purple eye-makeup, the top half of clothing was open and showed a deep scar on his chest -
"You should've said sooner that it's an invitation from John!"
"wow, you guys must be good friends!"
"he defeated me in a sword combat!" he pointed at the scar on his chest "Instead of killing me, it left me with this scar and for many decades it never fully healed!"
"I was meant to be John's slave since he was the one who first to defeat me! but he decided we be comrades – still I told him that I will abide to any request he had!" Sano announced as he hit his own chest.
"Oh! Easier than I thought!" Mia said with relief.
"But! "
She groans "there's always a 'but'!"
"Just to be sure that it's truly John who requested it!"
Mia accepts to perform the task – she nods/bows her head - "I'm on it!"
"alright then ghost girl!" Sano replied
Fists are made and put on Mia's hips "Just like John! I have a name you know! It's Mia!"
We cut back to John waking on a dark street of Japan – He has a fresh made toyaki and blows at it to cool down before taking a bite -
John passes a woman in a medical mask as a poster of a rock band caught john's eye!
"/am I pretty?/" she asks.
Since it was only John that passed, he shrugged and observes her then answered "/I guess you might be/" taking bite of the hot orb food.
She removes the mask, revealing she's the urban legend herself the slit mouth woman "/how about now?/"
humans would be frightened but Jack the ripper (John Poe) isn't a human being and was elated from seeing her un-masked "/You are a cutie!/"
giving a sharp teeth grin. Even though she was a demon hat, Abby was surprised from the reveal and chomps John's head off. The body lifted Abby up to hover over the now headless corpse; it squeezed Abby to cough out John's head to land back on the headless body he's using!
Slit mouth Held her cheeks as she blushed "/*eee!* I had to make sure you're the real John Poe!/" she shouts in glee.
because John was so well known in the other world community, some consider of him a celebrity, she's a fan.
John offered her a card to come join the purgatory circus if she's interested. Bows at her.
"/It would be an honor to join!/" she says
"/great! Miss uhh -/"
"/It's been years since I remember my full name! Just call me, Kuchi! /" Kuchi answered
John, rose eyebrows from surprise to learn she chose to have a cute name! Because a sophisticated lady as herself would not be believed to have a childish title.
but John used his finger to lift her chin and got close for a kiss – John was a major flirt with monster girls -
Kuchi blushed ;it's been a long while since she was kissed, she closed her eyes and waits for the lip contact!
That flirting attempt by John had to be put on hold. A Tori - a wooden strong Japanese gate way – sprang up between them , forcing Kuchi to fling back as the gate tore the arm of the body John was currently using.
Out comes Mia out from the gate "John! I need your help to convince this guy eh- John?" She sees John just reattaching his arm that went off from the gate appearing.
"I forgot that teach you where to aim that portal appearance!" John says has he twists his arm to fully reattach. "/Kuchi, it would seem I'm needed elsewhere right now! I hope you agree to join us!/" John yelled before he joins Mia through the portal!
The two returned to the inside and who greets them first, Sano chugging's sake from a gourd.
"The thing I didn't beat you at!" John said out to get Sano's attention.
Alost chokes once he was in surprise, beating his scarred chest! "John! So this ghost girl was telling the truth!"
Mia pouted "I told you my name is Mia!"
Smirking, John says "so?"
Sano bows as he said "of course I shall join!"
Again this task was simple
John and Mia searched for many other mythological Japanese creatures/spirits to offer to join the circus.
The time is now midafternoon – people are awake and walking the streets – screens showing advertising all went solid back then the large screen on the side of a building started flickering to a shot of a well in front of a large lake that was familiar to everyone even the children!
"/Run!/" "/Hurry!/" "they're coming!" shouted three young women's voices, catching Everyone's attention it turns out to be three high school student, who's school uniforms were withered and torn – one of the girls wore a medical mask - It was clear what they were running from, the ghouls (zombie) students were stumbling but still somewhat fast enough to be near enough to capture one of their next meal!
People did think at first this was just a hoax, Until the zombies caught up to one of the high-school girls – her neck was grabbed as a ghoul bit and peeled/ripped off her face! the teen victim girl screamed in agony!
Fear plastered on everyone's face and ran as other ghouls saw the next buffet targets, the surviving student in a mask shouts /*hurry! *we know a safe space!*/
The high school students led the crowed near a beach – a person in a rowboat was in the water, Fishing -
Unexpected, shadow giants began to rise from the water
– umibōzu, They appear and disappear in the oceans, often at night, and it is thought that they would suddenly appear on what was previously a calm sea surface as a giant's black bōzu head and destroy ships. -
The Umibozus held chains and pulled them to lift out first was point but slowly it's shown to be the tip of a giant circus tent; red and white stripes skin decorated. beneath the giant circus tent was a massive wooden platform; a wooden bridge sprang out from the circus tentlike an slinky and with a loud thud, there was now a bridge to the circus.
The people were frozen in fear , not only just from the ghouls (zombies) but from seeing the real umibōzus that appeared too. The water yokai went back down into the water to vanish.
The students began to run up the bridge /*Hurry*/ the girl in the mask shouted.
the people were hesitant though, but that didn't last long as the zombies were nearing and at the front was the girl student whose face was ripped off! No choice now, the individuals all ran on the bridge to the circus.
Inside, all was dark, blue flames began to appear and Sano appears /"please have a seat!" he bows with his arms spread out to present benched seats being revealed as well!
the unsure people took their seats and Sano vanished.
"/Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank you for coming! /" a spot light flicks on showed the students "/before we start, I need to ask! Do you think I'm pretty? /" she removes the mask and removing her hair which has been a wig; exposing she was Kuchi (slit mouth woman) all along /you can ask later, it's now the show!/ the other student waved "Bye!" and both then vanished like a 'Thanos' snap
A spotlight shows Misao still in her business attire; she stood on a tall narrow stage – some of the men recognized her from the red-light district - the light expanded to show a long white rope that sparkled; the trick was for her to work across the rope. The trick was first for her to walk across the tight rope.
Misao didn't look nervous and took a step then another. Her arms weren't out and she didn't hold a pole as Misao walked; seemed like she was very cocky – flicking her hair to the side one hand on her hip. That arrogance seemed to be her down fall, literally.
She slips and began to fall from the side, loud screams cried out
but Misao caught the rope with her toes, and swung herself to be now upside down.
Misao flung her arms out, letting Her sunglasses fall off, her eyes were shut; It seemed like she only one pair of eyes but that was only a makeup trick once she opened the two other pair of her eyes; giant spider legs ripped off her top. Obviously Misao reveals that she's a spider woman demon.
- Jorōgumo aka Jorō spider". Spider-yokai that can shapeshift into a beautiful woman -
with the use of her spider legs, she lifts herself up to stan on the rope –turns out the white rope is her web -
a ball made of web immediately drops from the air and is hanging off by loose web rope – green Marge Simpson hair stuck out of it -
Using her spider legs, she cuts the ball from the hanging web and began to juggle the large ball as she walked on the tight rope web.
The audience actually applauded
Once Misao made it to the end, one of her spider legs swatted the web-ball away to now be caught by a tongue of a umbrella Yokai (demon spirit)
Another Yokai, a Kappa – They are typically depicted as green, human-like beings with webbed hands and feet and a turtle, especially the shell their back and their turtle beaked head has crater filed with water, making the creature seem balding with soaked black hairs -
The kappa opened the one–eyed umbrella with a leg to spin it and let the ball roll on it. With the right balance, the intention of the trick was going well as the Kappa stood on his one leg. The crowd cheered.
The air gets colder. Everyone shivers – the kappa struggled as he tries to keep the same position as it still twirls the open demon umbrella – white mist filled the air
- the water in the crater in the Kappa's head freezes - major brain freeze and a layer of ice spewed over the ground, both cause the turtle like creature to slip and fall.
Coats and blankets were made by the spider woman's web to provide warmth for the audience.
No surprise that these low temperature incidents is the cause of the snow woman, who skates in and kicks ball of web; she was barefoot – a spot light follows her.
as she glides herself on the ice as she does some punches and kicks the ball to keep in the air as she does ice skating tricks! Like Elsa, white fog clouds appear in her hands and tails are left behind as she skated around, ice/snow figures are made.
the spider woman catches the web-ball with her arachnid legs and brought the ball up close /"I think the meal had enough tenderizing"/she rips open a hole on the web-ball to expose the head of a woman wearing the Marge Simpson hair, green version of the hair.
the said green haired woman was dizzy, she groans from being dizzy and bruised; the groaning was muffed. As soon as she regained focus, she attempted a sigh but The woman's mouth was tailored shut. Not only did she freaked out from realizing her mouth is sown shut, but from seeing the spider-woman giving a fanged smile also with her tusks springing out.
"itadakimasu" was what Misao said, Japanese mean 'thanks for the food!' the foggy mist made by the snow-lady masked what actions the spider woman was doing. But the silhouette of Misao expanding her mouth.
the tailored shut mouth lady's gasp couldn't be heard before a silhouette of Misao swiftly devour Marge's head. The ice-fog passes to show the spider-woman slurping up the rest of the green hair before burping then wiping her mouth
in front of spider-lady Misao is the web-ball with a hole to show the headless body, no blood is spurting out because spider-woman sucked it up! spider legs clamped the rest of the web-ball before letting her writs to spew out web (yes, like spider-man) and patch up the hole!
Ice-woman does one last spin before striking a pose. Cheers and claps are heard. She and the ice/snow figures give a bow. The spot-light cuts off.
In the darkness, multiple rings of fire are seen squirming around in the stage like roaches. Lighs 7came back on to show the Yokai the center.
- Wanyūdō takes the form of a burning oxcart wheel bearing the tormented face of a man. Various -.
The fire tires circle a man – comb overed hair, bags of mini chocolate candies are tucked in his mouth, and two of the green chocolate candies are nailed to his eyes – tears, blood, and chocolate mixed as it ran down the guy's cheeks, crying from the pain!
A giant skeleton with horns stepped out of the shadows, rattling is heard while the giant moved! and grab the Wanyudo to begin to juggle them first. the giant skeleton lets the Wanyudo land to end up stacked up in it's hand each saying 'ow!' each time they land one another; looking like a stack of thick cards!
The giant skeleton clamps it's fingers to the stack and slammed the Wanyudo pile close to the candy man! Resulting to emit a fire which engulf the giant horn skeleton, a black silhouette of the skeleton. Also, the chocolate mixed with tears grew hot and burn the man causing more agony – the bags of cany tucked in his mouth muffled his screaming!
A long bat-club like figure spawns in skeleton figure's hand as it aimed it's arm sideways and swings Horizontally, like a curtain; the fire peeled off to reveal the skeleton was now a red orc like red Yokai holding a spiked thick-bat.
- Oni, vary widely but usually portray them as hideous, gigantic ogre-like creatures with a single horn or multiple horns emerging from their heads,[6] with sharp claws, wild hair, and fang-like tusks.[7]They are often depicted wearing tiger-skin loincloths and carrying iron clubs called kanabō, Their skin may be any number of colors, -
The Oni snarled as it looked down at the candy-coated guy! In a deep demonic voice that echoed the room "pathetic!" raising his spiked club and swung down; a gust of strong wind is made by the swing! once it fully smacked down, crushing the candy man, the ground shook!
The ice floor shatters, the ice Pices mixed with guts and blood pieces were like gory confetti. The Oni licked some of the blood of his spiked club before quickly twirling it in the beast's hands to flick off the rest of the blood to dry the clean before resting the club on the Oni's on shoulder "sweet yet sour!" he said and the lights turned off,
the whole stage lit up to show the cast of Yokai, that performed, and John giving a bow.
The light grew to show the other half of the audience are the same Zombies (Ghouls) they fled from were also audience members as well. The girl who had her face ripped off was there, she playfully winked as she flipped on and off her face then stuck out her tongue!
Jack the ripper (John Poe) says "/Everyone, I'd like to thank you for coming! Feel free to write us the other mythology and movie creatures you'd like to see in the papers outside! Thank you!/" he and the zombies waved bye.
the lights cut off. To provide guidance. Blue flames appear!
-Onibi, They are generally blue as stated previously, but there are some that are bluish white, red, and yellow. For their size, there are some as small as a candle flame, to ones about as large as a human, to some that even span several meters -
an old well! a rotting looking hands springs out from the well and grasped the rim, something was rising itself, turns out to be a girl with long black hair and in a white ragged dress (yes, a ringu reference) "thank you for coming!" she said! some of the people didn't understand the words that was spoken, because she was speaking0 English; several people understood.
The girl that came out of the well, brought up a stack of paper for everyone; the pedestrians were afraid to come near her!
In reverse of the Thanos snap exit, appears Kuchi - her mask is back on and not wearing the highschooler uniform, just casual clothing, with a trench coat over – "Sadako is annoyed by the people impersonating her!" she shouts fluent English at the girl that actually isn't the girl from 'the Ring'.
Pulling off the long black wig to show it's really been Mia, she shrugs "Hey since she left dimensions for family business, John asked me to do this!" Understandable, the two girls past out the papers for everyone so they could write.
Returning to the suicide forest, turs out all of the Zombies were the people that offed themselves; waves of bye were given from the undead - hands or arms flung off – at John, and Mia.
She waved back "Until we need you guys again!"
Back in the circus tent, Misao (the spider woman) opened the web-ball with the headless corpse "/kids be sure to eat your green first!/" -other little spiders went in the web-ball to feast on the corpse – other spider-women, ripped off the limbs to feast on (these were spider-lady's older kids but still the same age as their mom) they work in the same love hotel to get more morsels aka customers
The other yokai were getting similar feasts, their food was still living so there was a lot of screaming.
John, looked at the many suggestions
enters Mia and the demon hat, Abby, leapt to be caught then pet by Mia! "Hey, John How come you aren't with the slit-mouth woman now?"
"meh, Kuchi and Sano got together and left to see a rock band! It's for the best Kuchi and I didn't hook up!" John replied. He tapped the taped to straighten the paper stack. "ready for the next show?"
-end-
