[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?]

When the destruction settles, Izumo gently rubs Sora's back soothingly, hoping it would help him in some way.
It's a relief to see Sora being able to breathe properly again, and he reigns in his Aura until not even a speck of red was showing. He's still alert, though, unsure if they were safe and sound.]
no subject
Are you okay? [He says after a moment, concern flashing in his eyes. He glances at Izumo's shoulder where the snake struck.]
We better get out of here before something else comes after us... Roxas is going to be so upset with me...
no subject
He gives a quick glance to his shoulder, feeling blood beginning to pour out from the wound, though he's not too concerned about it.] I'm fine; it's nothing.
[As long as the snake isn't poisonous, it should be.
He nods.]
Getting out of here sounds like a plan. [A smile.] And he will be, especially if he finds out you nearly went unconscious for a moment there.
no subject
Let me see! Right now!
[Then he grumbles a little. Angry boyfriend is the last thing he needs.] Not just that but he hates dark forests. Had a bad experience before. I might need a place to sleep for a few days after this.
[Sheepish laugh.]
no subject
He also has a mind to refuse, but figures it'd be best not to. Sighing, Izumo shifts a bit and tugs his shirt down enough so Sora can see the injury.]
I'm sure it's nothing bad.
[A soft laugh escapes from him.] This little adventure of yours might definitely get him upset with you. [He glances at him.] If you ever need a place to stay, I'm sure my own god won't mind if you crash for a few days; though, I'm not quite sure what the protocols are for gods staying in another god's temple.
no subject
It's something, don't be tough. [He says that with a teasing smile.] Thank you, by the way. For saving my butt.
[He chuckles.] Uhhh, I don't think there is protocol? If there is, I don't know about it. But I'll call you up if I end up homeless!
no subject
You're welcome - just no more wandering into dark forests, and we're good.
[Izumo finally moves to stand, smiling and ruffling Sora's hair.]
Alright. Now, let's focus on getting out of this forest.
no subject
I promise, cross my heart! I'll be done with this place for good after all this!
[Sora then lifts his gaze up to the treetops. He can't spot any more of those strange fireflies. Hmm. He looks at the still burning trees and he notices one that isn't.
He points at it which happens to be east.] Let's go this way, it's the only tree that looks normal. Best guess I've got.
no subject
Alright. I'll hold you to that.
[Izumo looks over to where Sora's pointing and nods.]
Let's give it a try.
no subject
I'm really not sure how I could tell things from all these trees. I'm not a god of nature or anything.
[It is pretty confusing...]
no subject
[But so far, it doesn't seem as if anything's about to pop out at them...]
What are you the god of?
no subject
He then starts listing each item off on his fingers.]
Love, peace, forgiveness, justice, light and purity.
[YOU ASKED, IZUMO. Don't get blinded by princely Norse radiance...
As they walk the trees start to thin out and the light starts to filter through the tops of the trees better. Sora perks up.]
I think we're close!
no subject
[It also makes Sora one of the more stronger gods, he believes.
He breathes out a sigh of relief.]
That's good. It means we're getting closer in getting out of here.
no subject
The light gets brighter and brighter and Sora almost thinks he can feel the sun tingle against his skin.
He tugs at Izumo's sleeve and makes a run for it.]
Come on!!
no subject
It takes a split second before Izumo runs after Sora, quickly grabbing his elbow.]
Sora! Remember what we just talked about with you running off.
no subject
Sorry, I just- I really can't wait to get out of here!
[And as Sora says that he tugs Izumo past some trees and there's a bright flash.
Of the sun.
And out they are in a grassy open field. There's no rain or gloom it's just bright June sunlight.]
We made it!!
no subject
Izumo evidently looks relieved when they're out of the forest, though them being out on the grassy field is a lot better than the dark forest.]
It's good to see the daylight again. [Or anything relatively better, anyway.]
no subject
[Sora turns around and glomps Izumo in a tight hug. Hope he doesn't mind the teenager clinging to him.]
We survived that dumb forest!
no subject
[He doesn't mind the hug, though he does tug on Sora's cheek a bit.]
And what have we learned about running into dark and creepy forests?
no subject
Don't go into dark and creepy forests.
[Pout. He swats at Izumo's hand on his cheek.]
Thanks, though. For helping me get out of there. I'm really glad we made it.
no subject
Izumo could've hit Sora on the head if it'll help make the point across, but he chose not to.]
You're welcome. Could've done without that snake, though.
no subject
[He taps Izumo's shoulder.]
That feels okay, right?
