016 | The Good Old Days

Who: Everyone!
What: Ageswapping
When: July 15-17
Where: Everywhere
Summary: A breach in the space-time continuum is messing things up.

Edit: OVERFLOW is here!



The Far Shore has been dealing with a lot of space-time pulsating through the past week or so and everything is culminating on the night of the 15th, even though the Heavens are preparing for an all-out Obon bash. They had planned to have the celebration on the 15th itself, but Amaterasu asked to postpone a day due to the horrible feeling that is permeating the Far Shore.

And it turns out she was right to postpone everything. In fact, it will have to be postponed another whole month at this rate...



Before

    Late in the day on July 15th, the new batch of shinki will arrive to a Far Shore with a thick, tense atmosphere. All night on the 15th it feels like something is about to happen - and it's difficult to tell whether that something will be good or bad. Any attempts to contact the management of the Far Shore have fallen on deaf, slightly harried ears and so everyone is left to their own devices to try and figure out why things are so tense.


July 16

    Just after midnight, an explosive shock wave rips through the Far Shore, bringing on the age changes with it. Even the spirits of the Far Shore seem to be affected - for example, the library goblins are either toddling around on wobbly legs or are dragging themselves from place to place and looking decrepit. There are a few gods and shinki that seem to have been exceptions from the change, though it is not clear why.


July 17

    Another wave of energy comes in the early morning of the 17th. Fewer people are affected this time and it seems to alter those people's ages a second time. There is no rhyme or reason to who is being affected further. Several of the library goblins have just dropped dead from severe old age. Oops.


Aftermath

    Late on the 17th brings about one final burst from the energy that has been plaguing the Far Shore. For a short moment, every new temple glows with a soft light, seeming to beckon to their owners. But the light is gone quickly and everyone will find themselves back to normal with complete memories of everything that happened during their age adventures. The goblins that died, though, are still very dead. Looks like the library will need to get some new help soon.




In Summary:
  • Meet the newbies
  • Get aged or de-aged
  • Deal with other too young/too old people
  • Try to handle the consequences
  • Have fun~

[ The young Hunter hits the ground at a hard angle so he doesn't notice him scramble back until he's already stopped, but he does catch the apology which has him turning his way. ]

It's okay.

[ He pushes off the ground to get up, ignoring the pain in favor of peering over at the other. ]

Are you okay?
redstray: (For me)

[ Ah, he bashed into another kid. Eric is already up and ready to run before he pauses at the question. It was a kid...so it wasn't as scary. ]

Uhm I'm...I'm fine
littlest_knight: (Yes?)

[personal profile] littlest_knight 2017-05-20 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Where you running away from something?

[ Even as he asks young hunter looks around to find - Oh there it is - the pharmacy bag he'd dropped. He bends down to pick it up, opening to check the contents. Once he affirms everything's okay, he looks back to him. ]

redstray: (What do)

[personal profile] redstray 2017-05-21 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
[ Eric fidgets with his shirt, shaking his head. ]

I don't know...where I am. I'm trying to find some place I know, but...I don't even know that. But, it's bad to be outside, so I have to keep looking.
redstray: (Muttering)

[personal profile] redstray 2017-05-21 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Lost?

[ He thinks about it, biting his lip. He really had no idea where he was, nothing looked familiar. So that's what being lost is. He nods, looking down as he fidgets with his arm. ]

I'm lost...
littlest_knight: (Yes?)

[personal profile] littlest_knight 2017-05-21 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ Zero's got a good head on his shoulders, even at this age, so the revelation doesn't dissuade him. ]

Where do you want to go?
redstray: (Defeated)

[personal profile] redstray 2017-05-21 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Uhm...

[ Eric thinks about it for a long moment, but he can't figure it out, he looks a bit scared. ]

I don't...I don't know...uhm...
redstray: (Tsun)

[personal profile] redstray 2017-05-21 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Eric frowns a bit at the question. He didn't like it, because it was hard to decide if he was or not. he hadn't eaten anything all day so does that make him hungry? He should refuse, say no, because he feels like that's what he should do. But, this kid wasn't ordering him around, it was just a question. He should be honest right? Kids were okay, maybe.

He nods, fidgeting with his shirt this time. ]


A bit, maybe...
littlest_knight: (Yes?)

[personal profile] littlest_knight 2017-05-21 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
There's food at the temple. We can get something to eat there.
redstray: (What do)

[personal profile] redstray 2017-05-21 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah...

[ He tenses a bit, debating on if he should follow. The food was tempting at least. And he could run after if things turned sour. So he does a quick nod. ]

Okay...
littlest_knight: (Obediant)

[personal profile] littlest_knight 2017-05-21 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He extends a small hand at him to take. ]

It's not far from here.
redstray: (Stars)

[personal profile] redstray 2017-05-22 03:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The hand makes him take a step back, wary and thinking it was dangerous. When nothing seem to come of it, he frowned before he slowly took the hand very loosely, not sure if it was right or not. He's ready to follow ]
littlest_knight: (Come Away)

[personal profile] littlest_knight 2017-05-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ Zero doesn't move, doesn't try to reach for him and just when he's about to drop his hand the other takes it. He looks on in silence for a moment, but he's not going to question him. ]

What's your name?

[ He asks him as he leads the way. ]
