>>5915897Possible mundane sabotage or interference to be committed by the Takedas against the show.
>Having someone on site attempting to cut power to the center, but not the rest of the mall because of financial and political ties.>Leveraged against Fire Chief/Marshal/Safety Official trying to show up and shut down the event for flimsy and counterable reasons.>Hired Goons breaking sound equipment day of the show or night before, Yoshi and Daigo potentially to the rescue with a van full of audio equipment and audio engineering skills.>Actual Fucking Ninja.>Pressuring a Yakuza Family indebted to them to interfere with the show in some capacity.Possible mundane things to do to bar Nui from participating if she isn’t cowed by her family or refuses to feign dropping out, in which Mikage notices Nui is missing anywhere from a day before or closing in on the 11th hour of the show pending actions and other cast member rolls. I’ll leave to your imagination the scope of possible avenues of countering these after the fact, or if Mikage would have been paranoid enough to Shadow Nui and intercept the ones that were reasonably interruptible.
>Administrative Involuntary hospitalization; family using reach and influence and a corrupt doctor to get their daughter put on a short term psych hold>Poison her meal or a tea ceremony at the house rendering her unconscious for the duration. “I’m sorry but my daughter has fallen ill and is not waking up. The family doctor is attending her and she has yet to awaken,”>Demanding before the show she seek a blessing from a shrine connected to the family across the country, like flight distance and then engineering circumstances for flight delays from there or seeing her travel waylaid by a driver having car troubles or something more overt.>Actual Fucking Ninja.As you can see, pressure before the start of the show. Risk and pressure potentially during the show. This could turn out wild in any number of ways based on player rolls and decisions. It would have taken for fucking ever, but a major thing no matter what that in either a supportive manner or a rescue manner or a problem solving manner: Daigo Endo would be doing his hardest to come in clutch for Nui. Whether he succeeds or not is circumstantially dependent on player action. Like if it’s just hired goons busting up audio equipment Daigo and Yoshi just do the thing no problem or worries.
Fallout if any? Not sure. Maximum prevention of scandal, probably. Akiyama doing some social maneuvering and publicly thanking the family during closing of the fashion show exhibition without revealing their attempted sabotage, likely. I don’t doubt any of you would have Mikage do anything less than run circles around this scenario.
