004 | Too Much Chocolate

Who: Everyone!
What: Passing out chocolates
When: All day March 15, 2016
Where: Throughout Japan
Summary: There is so much leftover chocolate from White Day that the Heavens have asked Far Shore residents to pass out the remaining candies to Near Shore residents.
Warnings: Content warning for: emetophobia and suicide mentions/ideation.



It is the day after White Day and, for some reason, there is a mass of chocolates left over. Oddly enough, these chocolates all appear to have been produced by the same small company: Fujisaki Confectioneries. The Heavens hate to see all of this chocolate that was meant to spread joy to the Near Shore go to waste, so they have asked residents of the Far Shore - specifically all you lovely gods and shinki - to go about Japan and pass out chocolates to unsuspecting humans, who will obviously be grateful for such a thoughtful gift, even from a stranger.

There are two problems, though, both stemming from the fact that the chocolates are 'cursed':

First, gods and shinki are prohibited from eating the chocolate and will face dire consequences if they indulge in the goodies, though the Heavens failed to mention what those consequences might be. Second, Near Shore residents are susceptible to the actual 'curse' that has been placed upon the chocolates, which turns out to actually be small ayakashi who want nothing more than to lead any Near Shore resident that they can to their death.

All gods and shinki have been tasked with this errand, including the group that have just arrived as of today. They will find themselves informed of their situation and then promptly handed a large box of chocolates and told to be on their way to pass them out.

Please remember: The only thing the Heavens have said to the gods and shinki is that they are to hand out chocolates and not eat any themselves. There is no IC information about the chocolates being 'cursed' and they seem like perfectly normal chocolates.



Chocolate Giving

Giving out chocolates might seem like a perfectly easy task, but the people of the Far Shore have always had a hard time being noticed by residents of the Near Shore. It might be difficult to catch someone's attention long enough to actually even pass them a bar of chocolate. In fact, you might have to resort to desperate measures, like stepping directly in front of them or grabbing their hand to stop them from continuing onward. How you catch their attention to give them their treat is entirely up to you, but most Near Shore residents don't particularly like being manhandled.

Dire Consequences

Unfortunately, some shinki and gods will likely give in to temptation and take a bite or more of the chocolates they've been given. Any Far Shore resident who eats the chocolates will find themselves suddenly and violently ill. They might come down with an instant fever, find that they can't control their bowels, or be overcome by intense and overwhelming nausea. The way that the sickness hits will be different for each person. Additionally, any shinki that eats the chocolate will find that they have stung their god, blighting themselves and their god in the process.

Ayakashi

The small ayakashi that were hiding out in the chocolate bars are freed the moment that a Near Shore resident takes a bite of the chocolate. These ayakashi may be small, but they are far from weak. As soon as they are free, they will take up residence on the shoulder of the person they are attached to and begin whispering ideas of death in their ears. All Near Shore residents under this influence will instantly find themselves too depressed to go on and will take immediate action to try and end their own suffering. It's best to kill the ayakashi quickly to stop the inevitable from happening.

Noisy Ayakashi

Oddly enough, some of the chocolate bars do not have the depressing ayakashi hanging out in them, but instead a different kind of ayakashi which seem to be completely alright with leaving the Near Shore residents alone. However, the moment that they lay eyes on a Far Shore resident - be it shinki or god - they will attack with a vicious fervor, obviously intending to do as much harm as possible. These Noisy ayakashi will range in size and shape from bugs all the way to small birds. Thank goodness they're not much larger, because they are harder and it seems they can only be taken down when solid teamwork is involved.



In Summary:
  • Pass out chocolate
  • Don't eat it or you'll get sick
  • Save the people you just gave chocolate to
  • Hope you have friends nearby to kill the Noisy ayakashi with
  • Try not to let anyone die
  • Have fun~

[Whup! Up they go!!]

You're really fast! [At least Alluka doesn't seem to be too terribly ruffled over all of this. Or... maybe that's weird? Yeah that's definitely not normal.] I bet they won't be able to even catch up.

[Yato laughs. Despite the circumstances, this kid is completely not phased. He can definitely admire a personality like that.]

You'd be surprised what ayakashi can do. And I'm not putting anything past these ones I don't recognize.

[Though there doesn't seem to be anything following them right now... huh.]

[That's true! Probably! But yeah they definitely don't seem to be like they're getting chased down...]

Is it actually following us at all?

[Ah, there's a shrine over that way. Yato makes a beeline for it.]

Don't know. Don't care. I'm getting you somewhere safe before we find out. Got it?

[She isn't arguing, for sure, it just seems kind of strange.]

Okay! [Chipper and cheerful, totally trusting Yato's judgement. Imagine.] Is it going to be much farther? [Just wondering!]

[What a kid. He'll have to remember to get her ice cream or something, she's being such a sport about this.]

Nope, almost there.

[As if on cue, he drops down in front of a shrine and sets her down gently.]

You should stay inside the grounds, alright? You'll be safer here.

[Ice cream!!!!!!!!!!!

But even not knowing there's a potential reward, Alluka has no problem sitting where Yato leaves her, no real protests to be found.]


I can do that! [A beat, then,] Will you come back when you're done?

[Or will Alluka just have to Live Here Now]

[He gives her a thumbs up.]

You bet! But stay safe, alright?

[And without another word, he's gone.

And... I'm not sure anyone could blame him if he forgot about the little girl in all the mess, SORRY ALLUKA!]

[Can do!!]

Okay! Byebye!!

[Alluka waves after him, have a safe trip!

She then proceeds to be left there until someone else comes and finds her oops? Hey at least shes the best at following instructions.]
