[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?]

[TRAITOR]

YOU LITTLE SHIT, SHUT UP AND DO SOMETHING USEFUL LIKE GET ME DOWN BEFORE I KICK YOUR ASS STRAIGHT OUT OF THIS FOREST YOU GODDAMNED--

[In the back of his thoughts, Sanji considers that every ayakashi from here to the kingdom of hell will hear his hollering, but that's small shit compared to this punk ass laughing at Sanji's misfortune.

And after he looks so cool deep-frying a chicken]
concasse: (eh↠ I was so wasted last night guiz)

Fine, do whatever it takes! [Bring the floods or the fires, he promises he'll let anything slide so long as it results in his feet touching the ground. Hanging upside-down is not easy on the body, alright?

Plus Sanji's starting to get weirded out by how his hair remains in place, perpetually covering the right eye, as if someone glued hair to his cheekbones]


concasse: (wut↠ oi oi)

[Regrets are had, and they're felt the moment Sora utters that word.

It's as if Sanji's been blessed with a moment's clairvoyance; he can chart exactly how ugly this is gonna turn out, but any attempt to dissuade Sora is replaced by a grimace once the spell catches hold of him. He can feel his body being tugged, first gently but then with growing impatience, and just when he thinks his hip socket is going to pop--

Sora's entirely correct. Sanji does go flying, much like a bullet, and the kid has 2 seconds to get the hell out of the way]
concasse: (fail↠ it's hard being this awesome)

[The sound Sanji makes is somewhere between a growl and a whimper, a result of every muscle screeching protest at Sora's terrible bedside manner. The fuck kind of spell was that, dude? That was more danger than the actual ayakashi.]

Tch-- [Despite his body's protests, Sanji rolls off the poor kid, onto his own back, and stares at the clump of branches overhead.] I've had enough of this shitty forest...

[Dear seas, he's ready to go home.]
