[open] If I could store lightning in jars
Who: Sora & OPEN
Where: The mysterious dark forest that appeared!
When: June 1
What: Bright "fireflies” have been luring gods and shinki alike deep into the forest. People are suddenly drawn to the little spots of light and can’t help but follow. There have been reports of screams and unhappy spirits and people never returning. All you know is that the sun doesn’t pierce the treetops and it’s dark.
Warnings: There's lots of creepy demons and stuff!!
[ A ]
[A sudden cold and heavy rain starts. Light and whimsical at first before it starts to pour down in thick sheets. Gray clouds blanket the sky and the sun is nearly blotted out. The atmosphere suddenly darkens and a chill is in the air.
Through the dark Sora notices some sparks of light somewhere near. They’re like candles flickering and dancing through the haze of the rain. A small smile pulls at his lips as he’s suddenly drawn to them like a moth to a flame. All he wants to do is reach out and touch one. They look like fairies.
You might notice Sora wandering through the rain, a blurry image of him slowly walking just out of your reach. Then he vanishes into the dark forest.]
[ B ]
[Perhaps it is you that got drawn into the bright dancing lights. Pulled into the woods as it makes your heart hammer. All you can focus on is the unseen force pulling your legs as you wander closer to the woods.
And suddenly everything is dark.
Sora manages to catch a glimpse of you before you vanish and he calls out.]
Hey!! Wait!! Don’t go in there!
[And promptly chases after you to stop you from falling deeper into darkness.]
[ C ]
[As soon as Sora enters the woods the rain stops. Or so it seems that way. He can still hear the thundering water in his ears but it sounds muted now. Like someone has put a blanket over the heavens and all he can hear is the thin thudding of the rain but no raindrops touch his face anymore.
He wanders through the woods as he looks up at the treetops to find that small beams of light do flicker through. Weakly, but they’re there. The gloom is still heavy.
His feet take him in a random direction until he spots a figure in the distance… Someone already lost here like him, or is that a tortured spirit...?]
[ wildcard! ]
[something else in mind?]

Well this one's a cat-like youkai. A demonic spirit, not an ayakashi.
[Now, on the one hand, that makes Schuldig grin because it means he doesn't need a shinki to take this one out and nor will he have trouble using his powers on it - so he thinks. He does, however, notice one ability right away.]
One of its powers is possession, as it turns out.
[Schuldig's eyes light up bright white and still he doesn't move.]
Fat chance that'll happen with me around.
[And now Sora may feel a similar sense of the reflectga shielding not physically, but mentally.]
no subject
...Gosh, he's really weirded out right now.]
Okay... Thanks. I think.
[Should he still be worried that Loki is pulling tricks? He really doesn't know now.
The cat mewls softly which brings Sora's attention back. A single white tail swishes back and forth as it walks slowly forward, claws out.
And then it leaps at them so fast Sora can barely blink.]
no subject
Ah-
[He catches that sensation of the cat jumping, and is prepared to dodge out of the way, but notices Sora's not about to. Anyone else, he might have tried to kick the cat or something, but Sora's light enough that he can grab the kid and throw him over his shoulder. The last time he did this, he just leapt quickly away, but because he can teleport, of course that's what he uses now. Schuldig also doesn't try to hang onto Sora, setting him down seemingly as fast as he picked him up - minus the teleport in between.]
There you go~
[And he gestures with his hand toward the cat's butt in the air since it fell on its face.]
no subject
[Suddenly Sora's airborne and before he can realize what's happening he's being teleported to another spot.
Then it finally clicks that Sora's thrown over Loki's shoulder and he flails madly until Loki sets him down. As soon as he's on his feet he shoves Loki and looks really scandalized.]
Don't touch me!!
[Angry huff. He doesn't really appreciate Loki touching him. But then he looks where Loki is gesturing and...]
...Haha. Oh.
no subject
You're welcome.
[He watches as the cat struggles to get back on its feet, adjusting its napkin like a hat.]
You got this? Or am I going to be playing keep-away with a cat toy now?
[And of course by cat toy he means Sora.]
no subject
Yeah. Just. Stay away from me.
[He can't deny that he's thankful for Loki snagging him out of the way or he might have gotten hurt. But at the same time he really doesn't trust Loki. Even now.
Readjusting his weapon in his grip Sora takes the jump on the cat demon. He leaps forward with Flash Step and uses an Upper Slash.
The cat howls as it's knocked back and rounds on Sora. He's ready this time though, attacking with a counter.]
no subject
Have it your way then.
[He watches Sora go, and go, and go. Energizer Bunny of a kid, maybe that's where the 'light' part was all along - boundless light energy.
He watches some more, letting Sora counter.
Aaaand... then he teleports to where the cat gets knocked into. Schuldig grabs it by the scruff and holds it up.]
Bad kitty.
[And the cat stops fidgeting quite as much, then goes still. Schuldig turns to face Sora - the demon's not dead, as evidenced by the fact that Schuldig sets the cat down while still holding it by the scruff and it actually stands steady on its legs.]
no subject
... What are you doing?
[How is the demon not attacking anymore? It just stands there and then looks up at Loki calmlyx.
His grip on his weapon loosens just slightly.]
no subject
[Notably, he doesn't loosen his own grip on the demon cat's scruff.]
I'm preventing it from moving.
[Specifically, by attacking its mind instead of its body. Hence the thousand-yard stare the cat's got going on.]
Doesn't the God of Light have some purification power to get rid of demons like we do ayakashi?
[He imagines Sora prancing around in a shoujo costume but doesn't share that detail. Any other day he absolutely would have.]
no subject
Only shinki can do things to ayakashi, you know that.
[HUFFY SIGH. Loki might be in some weird help-y mood but he's still a giant jerk.]
My god powers don't dispel this kind of thing.
[He stands up straight and looks at the demon cat who still seems pretty content to be a blank slate.]
How about you just hang onto him and you take us out of here? You said you know how to get out, right? Then just toss him back in when we leave.
no subject
But it's not an ayakashi, is it?
[Pedantic and yet completely relevant out here. Speaking of pedantic clarifications: ]
I didn't say I know how to get out, just that I can. It won't be comfortable walking with it like this... Unless, hmm-
[Then the cat stands on its hind legs with Schuldig still holding it by the back of its neck, dead eyes staring forward.]
Nah, too slow.
[And he drops the cat, but it falls over onto the ground.]
There, we have about 3 minutes. Let's go.
[And he starts jumping away through the streets.]
no subject
Who knows what it actually is! A demon? Spirit!? My grandma?
[He could try to bash the thing in some more with his keyblade, but this seems like a less... messy- plan.
Three minutes. Alright, time to roll.
The trees are thick and it's so dark but if they move fast enough they'll eventually see the sparkle of sunlight in the distance.]
no subject
[He gives Sora a taste of some weird science while they run.]
Lucky for you I'm very busy lately, so I'm off - there's the treeline.
[He jumps forward a few more times, back out into the sunlight.]
Bye bye Baldr~
[And he teleports back to his temple.]
no subject
[What the actual heck. Loki is gone before he can get even for the teasing and the dumb song in his head. Huff.]
I kept thinking you're weird because you're weird!!!
[He shouts... at nothing. Bye bye Loki.]
