016 | The Good Old Days

Who: Everyone!
What: Ageswapping
When: July 15-17
Where: Everywhere
Summary: A breach in the space-time continuum is messing things up.

Edit: OVERFLOW is here!



The Far Shore has been dealing with a lot of space-time pulsating through the past week or so and everything is culminating on the night of the 15th, even though the Heavens are preparing for an all-out Obon bash. They had planned to have the celebration on the 15th itself, but Amaterasu asked to postpone a day due to the horrible feeling that is permeating the Far Shore.

And it turns out she was right to postpone everything. In fact, it will have to be postponed another whole month at this rate...



Before

    Late in the day on July 15th, the new batch of shinki will arrive to a Far Shore with a thick, tense atmosphere. All night on the 15th it feels like something is about to happen - and it's difficult to tell whether that something will be good or bad. Any attempts to contact the management of the Far Shore have fallen on deaf, slightly harried ears and so everyone is left to their own devices to try and figure out why things are so tense.


July 16

    Just after midnight, an explosive shock wave rips through the Far Shore, bringing on the age changes with it. Even the spirits of the Far Shore seem to be affected - for example, the library goblins are either toddling around on wobbly legs or are dragging themselves from place to place and looking decrepit. There are a few gods and shinki that seem to have been exceptions from the change, though it is not clear why.


July 17

    Another wave of energy comes in the early morning of the 17th. Fewer people are affected this time and it seems to alter those people's ages a second time. There is no rhyme or reason to who is being affected further. Several of the library goblins have just dropped dead from severe old age. Oops.


Aftermath

    Late on the 17th brings about one final burst from the energy that has been plaguing the Far Shore. For a short moment, every new temple glows with a soft light, seeming to beckon to their owners. But the light is gone quickly and everyone will find themselves back to normal with complete memories of everything that happened during their age adventures. The goblins that died, though, are still very dead. Looks like the library will need to get some new help soon.




In Summary:
  • Meet the newbies
  • Get aged or de-aged
  • Deal with other too young/too old people
  • Try to handle the consequences
  • Have fun~

[Good to know you care, Goten.

Straightening up, Izumo studies him for a bit before his lips quirk up into a smile.]


There are other things you can do. Sorry to crush your hopes, though.

[It's as Celestia is passing by the local school that a carrot comes rolling out from the doorway, straight to her. From the doorway, a pair of wide bespectacled eyes watch her.]

[Horses eat carrots, right? This kid is pretty sure about that.]

[ He hears the words to calm down and he tenses, trying to do so. He manages to get back up from the fall. He looks down, however, avoiding looking at the guy. ]

I'm sorry...
battered: (b005)

Do not feed the wildlife.

[It's pretty hard to miss the other little kid suddenly invading the temple grounds, but Raichi's really not sure if he should actually be doing anything about it right away. There was another kid inside, after all! Maybe this one should be here, too? So, for a little bit, he watches from his perch up on one of the tree branches he's managed to climb up to.

That... looks like a lot of fun! And he kind of really wants to join in!]


Hey! [Gotta get his attention first!!] What are you doing?
tacomeme: (Happy)

[personal profile] tacomeme 2017-05-17 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ooo, I wish I could do that when Hinoka doesn't pay attention to me. Hey! You could show me how, right?

[This is a great idea]
bear_necessities: (bitty!questions)

[personal profile] bear_necessities 2017-05-17 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
Well...

[He shrugs.]

Sort of. A man named Roxas owns this house. He's nice though, so don't worry.
redstray: (Hikawa)

[personal profile] redstray 2017-05-17 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
What do you know?

[ He snaps out but it doesn't have much bite or comeback. He knows he doesn't look great, not a lot of the kids here do. He curls up a bit more. ]

...I'm not allowed, okay?

[Why would he want to save the idiot?

Izumo's a teenager again, but still retains his memories of Mikoto being a god, even though his god doesn't seem to recognize who he is--

No, that's a lie. Mikoto definitely knows who he is now.

It's weird to see him as a teenager, though, but that doesn't mean he's going to actively save said idiot from crashing into the waves.]

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-05-17 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
No. I'm not good enough to teach anyone yet, and besides dark magic is a sacred Nohrian thing. I think you need to be a priest or something...? Maybe? I dunno.

Why are you apologizing?

[He peers to get a good look at Eric.]

There's no need to apologize.

["It's me."]

Keith.

["I am your shinki."]

What happened to you? Why are you so... small?

[Fushimi's just come from his new god's temple when he sees the little terror on a skateboard coming at him. He doesn't realize this is Yata, though, so he just rolls his eyes.]

[The little boy in the beanie clearly wasn't expecting to be seen from his Excellent (tm) hiding spot of peering from over one of the windowsills, and he makes a soft quiet noise of alarm before ducking down.]

[After a second, however, those big bespectacled eyes peer back over again.]


....What?
spes_phthisica: (So I can dance here with my hair down)

[On one hand, there is something unbending about Soujirou, something not all that easily impressed by any kind of authority at this age. On the other.. Yaboku is looking kind of happy, and Soujirou would like for people around him to be happy. He has the distinct impression that happy people means he's less likely to get in trouble somehow.

So he doesn't quite smile, but his posture loosens up a bit, and some of that flat impassiveness melts from his expression too. He holds up his left hand, showing the red marking there.]


I'm a Shinki. So I guess that means I'm the servant of a god.
bear_necessities: (bitty!but why?)

Re: exploring

Safer?

[He glances at the school curiously, wondering what they're protecting it from.]

What kinda stuff?

[ The voice comes out of nowhere, it seems, and it takes her a moment to realize it's coming from above her.

To which she stops and stares in awe because... ]


Is that real?!

There are?

[That gets his attention, he lifts his head a bit. Of course Izumo would know what he could do. Izumo is an adult!]

Like what? What do you do?
ripplesoflosttime: ([05])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-17 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know who you are.

[And frankly, he doesn't care.

The goblin looks to be on the verge of tears, but Lavi's attention is immediately caught when he sees that.]


...Are you okay?
changeups: (9.)

no one will know its ok

[ mei gets about ten swings in when raichi gets his attention--right when he was getting into the groove! he looks up...and up...and it turns out the person watching him is a monkey?? in a tree.

his nose wrinkles. ]
What am I doing? Duh, I'm practicing. You know. Baseball? The greatest sport in the world? Why are you in a tree?

[And then there's the kitty. (Cat, Kija. Cat. You're not a baby. Proper words.)

[What do you do with cats? Kija isn't sure but fluffy white kitties get hungry, too, so he can't just leave her in this big empty building all alone. So, picking her up as carefully as he can, he carries her (well, he thinks she's a girl) out with him and... well, he isn't quite sure what he was going to do next. Take her somewhere there was food?

[Well. When in doubt, ask a grown-up.]


Hello. Can you help me, please?
redstray: (Hikawa)

[ He can feel those eyes and he tries to hide a bit ]

I bashed into you. That was bad. Need to watch where I'm going.

Awww... that's not fair. Orochi won't show me either. I tried to use one'a Mom's festals too but it didn't work.

Ryoma never wants to sword fight with me either...

[...She's being honest?]

What are you? Who are you?

[Why do you randomly care about a kid?]
brynwieldr: (Magic for Good)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-05-17 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you can't use magic. It happens. Maybe you're supposed to do something no one else can do, like...

[Hmm...]

Fly a pegasus! Boys can't ride pegasi after all.

July 16th - Outside Bastet's Temple

[When he wakes up, he feels...]

[He feels calmer, somehow.]

[There's a moment of panic when he sees himself in the mirror -- slightly pudgy around the tummy, hair starting to go gray around a face still holding onto its softness and youth -- but when it fades, the calm is back. Or perhaps it's less that he's actively calm, and more that his baseline has just... lost some of its neurotic tendencies?]

[Like he's just more used to being happy, less afraid of everything suddenly disappearing.]

[It's... nice, to think he might be like this when he's older.]

[He wanders out to the front of the temple, pausing here and there to give ear-scratches to the plethora of cats (domestic and wild) who live there with them. For a while, he tries to do some light calisthenics and stretches, but the cats demand attention, and who is he to disobey?]


Yes, yes... come here, then.

[CATS. CATS EVERYWHERE, and he's pretty okay with it, to be honest.]

July 17th - the Far Shore

[A bit of grey hair? Make that a full head of white hair.]

[Yuuri's still determined to lead a healthy and active lifestyle, but going out for a walk this morning meant having to drop by the Near Shore and buy himself a nice cane. Still, he looks pretty serene, especially compared to his usual frequent states of panic. He's just shuffling around the Far Shore in his high-waisted pants and neatly-buttoned dress shirt like an old man might in any pleasant little Japanese suburb, nodding politely to anyone he crosses paths with.]


Good morning! It looks like another hot day today, doesn't it?

Aftermath - Bastet's Temple, presumably closed to Viktor or Yuri

[He's already in the temple when the glow starts, puttering around the kitchen to make a nice big breakfast for everyone. It takes a lot of focus to remember what he's doing, so he isn't really fully aware of the strange feeling in the air until all of a sudden, he finds his hands steadier and his body stronger than just a moment before.]

[He blinks, looks around... then just goes back to flipping pancakes. No sense letting them burn, right?]
