014 | A Whole New World

[godsoffortune]

Who: Everyone!
What: Exploring the world
When: All day June 26
Where: The Near Shore (All Over)
Summary: So many shrines have popped up! Go visit your homelands!



The Heavens have received reports of many shrines to the "new gods" they are harboring appearing all over the world. These shrines seem to be additional, new shrines to those gods. Older shrines to those gods still exist, but these ones are shiny, new, and way more compatible with the "new gods". God characters, as well, will have felt the sudden pull towards their homelands and be compelled to travel to them. But the Heavens have taken it a step farther, offering the Meeting Hall as a place for gods and shinki to group up and go out for the day to the various places that are now calling out to them.

Please ignore the fact that they are mostly doing this so that you all will collect information for them without their begging for it or having to reward you.



Meeting Hall

The Meeting Hall is being used as a sort of hub right now. Any groups that are planning to meet up and travel together can meet here, but you might also find someone who's going somewhere you'd like to and tag along with them. Additionally, the Heavens have provided packed lunches for everyone to take with them, should they desire to. This also serves as a meeting place for all of the new gods and shinki.

Locals

Local pantheons have been alerted to the impending visitors. They are happy to welcome their brethren home and are likely to make a big fuss about their brothers and sisters staying with them. Local gods are welcome to be interpreted however you would like, just be sure not to NPC any god that is already taken by a god player. Also, you may find yourself running into some local spirits during your sight-seeing - including local ayakashi and various folklore spirits.

Flyers

They may not stick out at first, but those who are paying attention will notice that there are a large number of flyers being left around at their new shrines. Heck, even walking through the human towns, you will find flyers scattered on the ground and pinned to cork boards and nailed to telephone poles. All bear the same message: "Down with the Heavens. Down with Amaterasu." The locals gods are well versed in the flyers, saying that there have been some strange characters around throwing these flyers at anyone who will give them the time of day. Even humans will note that some shady-looking people have been putting up these strange posters.

Destruction

Whether you return early because of boredom, never left because you're uninterested, or late because you've been having fun, the middle of the night will bring an interesting sight to all. The Heavens will find themselves under attack - in the form of a large fire set at the temple of Amaterasu herself. The entire home is going up in flames and no one knows where Amaterasu is. They're asking for help in dousing the fire or even entering the burning home to find the small goddess and possibly look for the saboteurs, though the only people who are still around are Amaterasu's shinki, in varying states of distress and consciousness.

Note: Who will discover Amaterasu will be decided randomly on 3/20/17 OOC. At that point, a follow-up post will be made by Amaterasu herself.

In Summary:

• Explore the world
• Get to know your homelands
• Investigate insurgents
• Deal with a riot
• Save Amaterasu
• Have fun~

Should probably looking at possible gods who has access to fire.

[A brief thought on a god Roxas mentioned to him before but Izumo pushes the thought away.

It could only be one of the older gods since this fire resembles like the ones he's seen at the picnic.

Izumo inclines his head a bit before he goes into the temple, waiting for Ichiru so that his aura can cover both of them. In truth, he has enough control to protect them both mostly from the flames, but he knows his limits.]

[forsakens]

That is a start. There are plenty of fire wielding Gods ne?

[ He curiously cranes his head when Izumo speaks of those who can use fire. Such an ability seems rather common here. Though, he had only really seen Eric use fire. Of course, he's also a bit piqued by Izumo's ability as well.

Ichiru wouldn't know about what was old or new thus he'd probably leave that deduction to Izumo's devices. ]

It seems like the damages are worse the closer we get.

[ He follows with Izumo side by side. ]

Your ability is very unusual.

[ But he meant no insult by it. ]

[toremainbehind]

There ought to be. [Including his, but he doubts Mikoto would bother setting anyone else's temple on fire.

Not that he'd tell Ichiru that.]

It's usually that way, isn't it? Some things are always more worse than they seem.

[A glance at him, a faint smile.]

It's useful in certain cases.

somehow my inbox ate the tag :|

[forsakens]

Indeed.

[ Not that he would go and accuse certain Gods of it. He'd look rather childish and misinformed if he came at someone without a good reason. He at least knew better. ]

It is. That's quite true. I do want to know what sort of grudge they have against this specific God.

[ Ichiru crosses his arms as they walked. ]

What does it doe exactly, other than protection?

i was wondering what happened...

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo hums.]

It isn't the first time they've set something on fire.

[A blink and the Aura flares a bit when a nearby column suddenly crashes, immediately turning it into ash before it touches them.]

It has its offensive uses, though I hadn't found a need to use them for that recently.

yeah stupid dumb gmail XD

[forsakens]

I see. Perhaps, they bear such a large grudge that it was necessary to burn the temple down this time?

[ He wouldn't put it past these people for holding grudges. Why not go for the person directly, instead of instigating fear in such a careless way? At least, that's how it seemed to him. Ichiru has his blade ready if Izumo doesn't catch it all but it doesn't seem like he has to worry too much. ]

What sort of offensive actions can you take with it?

gmail can be a pain sometimes

[toremainbehind]

We won't know until we properly investigate.

[But this is the second time they've used arson.

But even so, Izumo leads Ichiru inside, glancing at it.]

Depends on what I need it for.

yeh and then jumping into a slump X.x

[forsakens]

That's true. Let us find as much information as we can in the mean time.

[ He nodded his head as he looked inside at the burning building. Everything was covered in flames and he was trying to make out things in the flames. ]

I suppose in case of an attacker, how would you retaliate with it?

if it gets too much for you, we can drop this thread if you want?

[toremainbehind]

[A hum of agreement.

There weren't much they could find, especially considering how burned they appeared to be.]

I can send fireballs at people. Or use it as a shield that will burn the attacker. [Much like how he did with Zero.]

Nah, I like tagging your tags. XD I get blocks every so often !

[forsakens]

[ It seemed that way and they probably wouldn't last long if Izumo hadn't kept the two of them under a barrier. Something that he was grateful for. He also learned that Izumo had abilities that were unknown to him but at the same time, rather fascinating. ]

It must be fun to wield the elements at your will, ne?

o7

[toremainbehind]

[Izumo chuckles.]

I'll admit that it's useful.

<3

[forsakens]

[ He simply gives a small shake of his head at the comment. It really did amuse him. ]

I would assume that it would be.
