009 | Where Your Demons Hide

Who: Everyone!
What: Emergency demon fighting
When: Late May 5-Early May 6
Where: Just outside of Tokyo
Summary: The demon from the school has reared its ugly head again and needs to be taken down.



On the evening of May 5, the Heavens suddenly receive an influx of prayers from people in and around a certain town just outside of Tokyo. There seem to be a lot of people in the area that have suddenly stopped responding normally (or at all). The situation continues to spread as the night goes on until not only is the whole town suffering from this malady, but the neighboring towns are starting to become affected as well.

With so many gods and shinki on hand - including new ones that have just appeared - the Heavens have issued a request for any available gods and shinki to go investigate what might be happening down on the Near Shore. New gods and shinki will be given the low-down on what's happening, but not much more than that.

The situation will continue to expand until just a little before dawn, when the demon finally has enough power to revive.



Drained Humans

Many humans in the affected areas are walking around despondently. Oftentimes, they are just walking into things or getting hit by things. There have been a few car-related incidents as well. Anyone who was present for the high school incident will recognize these symptoms as something that was happening to people in the school. The glazed looks, the spiritless responses and reactions. So this should be fairly familiar to some.

No One's Safe

Unfortunately, being in the town will start to wear on anyone who is there. Gods and shinki alike will find themselves growing more despondent the longer they spend in the town. All of their energy will be slowly sapped from their bodies, and shinki in particular will feel almost like their existence is draining away.

Hellish Circle

There is a large park in the center of the town. Drawn all around this park is a magic circle, large enough to encompass the whole park. There are candles around the edges of the circle, and in the center there is a cup filled with blood covered by a mask with a swirling eye pattern on it. Stepping into this circle will not only make you extremely tired and suddenly drained, but it will also bring bat-like ayakashi bearing down on you.

The Demon

The Demon itself rears its ugly head just a little before dawn, springing out from the center of the magic circle and looking right pleased with itself. It stands about 5'8" tall, so it is largely unimposing, but there is an aura about it that makes it undeniable that it is powerful. The demon will gladly fight anyone who comes at it, though most he will just shove out of the way without a second thought.



In Summary:
  • Help the drained people
  • Try not to get drained yourself
  • Be careful about being corrupted
  • Fight the demon
  • Have fun~

[ Bandou'd been right there with his god, helping to keep the people from getting hurt. But damn if Izuminokami-san was hard to keep up with. And if he was already getting tired from the workout this was giving them, then Bandou was exhausted.

He stops on the side of the road, leaning over with his hands on his knees and breathing heavily. ]


Shit man...

[ As skinny as he was, it was really apparent right now just how out of shape he really was. Laying down just about now would really be nice. He was about to stand up and ask Izuminokami-san if maybe they could give it a rest for a bit since there were a lot of others here to help out, when he spotted him standing in the center of the road, a car headed right for him. They may not be noticeable to the people on the near shore, but that didn't mean the car would drive straight though him!

At that moment, being out of breath was the last thing on Bandou's mind. He sprinted towards his god, placing himself between him and the car. Which thankfully wasn't going too fast, because Bandou quickly found himself sprawled out on top of it - the sudden impact with an invisible entity getting the driver to stop fully.

[It's probably ironic that he complained about cars and one decided to come just to mess with them. Fate was a shithole like that.

His instincts should have reacted more quickly, he should have reacted more quickly.But he doesn't and Bandou is in front of him. Izuminokami should have pushed him out of the way. If anybody could take a car, it would be the sword. But it all happens so fast and Izuminokami is left with the fact that Bandou just hurt himself to protect him. He stares at his shinki, fingers twitching to do something but he doesn't know what he's supposed to do. All that he does know is he shouldn't just leave him there and so he picks Bandou up, carrying him to a sidewalk to lay him there.]


You goddamn idiot! What do you think you're doing? [So far he's only cried once since arriving to this place, but right now he's tearing up because his shinki just risked his safety to protect him. What kind of loyalty is that?]

[ Ok being in this much pain really shouldn't be a thing for people who are already dead. It's amazing Bandou hasn't passed out from it already. Instead he's grimacing and hissing out slowly through his teeth as Izuminokami scoops him up and carries him to the side of the road. Considering how much that pain increases while he's being held bridal style, he's definitely broken a few ribs. ]

I wasn't gonna let you get hit.

[Izuminokami had been on the battlefield and of course he had seen people get hurt. But he had been nothing but a sword then, not ever in charge of healing them or taking care of them. It had been his kind that had hurt them.

He's completely lost as to what to do and with already being upset about Bandou doing this, the frustration finally just makes him burst out into tears. He wants to help, but he doesn't quite know how to.]
I could have taken it, idiot! [Maybe he shouldn't be calling the person who just tried to save his life an idiot but that's how he works. His words are never meant to be taken so literally.

Still crying, he tries to brush the tears away. Crying isn't going to help Bandou here now, is it?]


Where does it hurt?

[ At first, Bandou's cringing too much to notice Izuminokami tearing up. But lying at flat as he can on the ground to bring some sort of ease to his midsection gets him to reopen his eyes. And his god sobbing is not at all what he expected to see. It probably shouldn't make him feel more at ease, but it's touching that his god cares for him that much. ...Even if he is being called an idiot at the same time. ]

I think I broke some ribs... it's fine, though.

[ Bandou may be a petty idiot, but he can be very selfless when it comes to being there for those he cares about. ]

[personal profile] nakemen 2016-10-18 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
How is that fine?! [He angrily wipes his eyes on his sleeve as he tries to stop himself from crying. This isn't going to help Bandou at all.

And maybe he has a job to do, but Bandou is his shinki and he comes first. That's how this is supposed to work.]
You need to see someone. Or I don't know. You need bandages? Crap, humans are so hard to take care of. [Seriously how does one human?]

A bed would be nice...

[ Something to support him that isn't the hard concrete he's currently lying on. He's pretty sure you can't do anything about broken ribs, that they just have to heal on their own, but it'd probably be good to make sure those ribs aren't threatening any vital organs. ]

...a doctor might be good, too...

[personal profile] nakemen 2016-10-20 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll teleport us to someone. I don't know who, though! Can I call a doctor to our temple? [Okay so he's obviously freaking out a little and has been for a while now.] Do doctors even work on shinki?

Shit. You stupid idiot. [He keeps saying that, but still doesn't mean it. Also he still just teleports them to their temple because where else are they supposed to go? But at least Bandou is on a bed for right now!]

[personal profile] chickshades 2016-10-20 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Is it bad that Bandou's totally not phased by being called an idiot? Probably because he's heard it plenty. And he's used the phrase enough himself to know it doesn't always carry that much of an insult to it. ]

There's gotta be a doctor... f-fuck...

[ Damnit why couldn't his vessel form be a sold iron wall or something? Night vision glasses really wouldn't have helped lessen this situation any. He holds his breath while Izuminokami-san teleports them home, finally letting it out slowly as he rests against the soft cushion of his bed. It's definitely better, if only a bit. ]

You're okay though?
nakemen: (16)

[personal profile] nakemen 2016-10-24 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No! I'm not okay! You got hurt so why would I be okay? [If only he'd been paying attention to his surroundings, if maybe he had been a better god? There's a lot of ifs but Izuminokami is sure he should have been better. He murmurs something that sounds like 'be right back' and he isn't gone for long before he's back with a glass of water.]

In case you need it. I'll be back. I'll try to find someone for you, okay?

[personal profile] chickshades 2016-10-24 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean physically.

[ Obviously he is if Bandou took the full force of that impact, but he wants to really make sure he did a good job of protecting him. While Izuminokami-san's gone, Bandou attempts to find a comfortable position to lay in. Flat on his back seems to be the best so far. Which is kind of irritating since he's used to sleeping on his stomach. Guess that's not gonna be a thing for a while now.

But then Izuminokami-san is back and he nods gratefully at both the water and promise of a doctor. ]


Thanks. I'll be...here.
