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~

What happened? Did something go wrong?

[Just in case, Kija looks around himself--

[No. Nothing. He's still he doesn't quite know where, and absolutely nothing is happening.]


I could help you look, if you wanted.

I guess so....I don't think all that stuff matters that much. You dont gotta be in the same god family to be close.

[He gives a lazy shrug]

It's okay, I'll just do twice the work and make up for it!

[Grin~]

....yes? I'm going to find Lady Sakura.

[She was nice and also he's pretty sure there will be food with her.]

[personal profile] justclaws 2017-05-19 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Um...

[He isn't really sure where they should go. He looks up at her just in case it isn't a real question, like... like do you want to put on your shoes, but no, she seems genuinely curious.

[Kija supposes that means he doesn't have to pretend he isn't hungry so she can do... well, whatever she wants to do. At least he hopes it is.]


Well, a little. I'm all right, though.

[ Well, she's certainly found someone close to the right age range- though a little younger. Also in worse shape, given the neck brace, arm cast and tight sling to keep his shoulder from moving about too much. Still, not blond. ]

Uh...

[ He'll actually consider for a moment, trying to think if he had. Unfortunately, he couldn't just shake his head. ]

Not really. Did you try the school?

Do you like it? I got it this mor— [...ning? Did he get it this morning? His head's starting to hurt, so he's not going to think about it.]

[As for the how, though—] Hmm~? Do you want to celebrate with me? [HE KNOWS A PLACE. (Said place may or may not be Izumo's own bar.)]

Oh! Oh yeah, I saw a lake earlier!

[Kairi gestures to follow her.]

I can show you.

[It's the lake by the school.]
justclaws: (!child: baby this is serious)

[personal profile] justclaws 2017-05-19 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
You can?

[Oh, good!

[Kitty - cat, Kija - hasn't gone anywhere, either, which is also good: she sits watching them, the white feather that is her tail flicking back and forward, as she waits for someone to feed her. Kija bends to pick her up again, careful as he dares: the cat, for her part, supposes that if being carried around by a small boy is what it takes to get her to the food, she can tolerate it for the sake of the fish.]


Thank you. Um, but won't it be troublesome for you?
little_wave: (hm?)

[personal profile] little_wave 2017-05-19 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, okay. Who's Lady Sakura? She sounds nice.

[Just not a name she recognizes.]

[This kid's a lot younger than him, but she's cute. He can baby-sit until whoever's responsible for her shows up.]

Sure! What's your name? I'm Lea, got it memorized?

[He taps his head with a grin even as the other hand passes Kairi a paintbrush. There's a lot of paints out - looks like he raided a hardware store's sample bin or something.]
justclaws: (!child:callings)

[personal profile] justclaws 2017-05-20 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
It looks really big.

[And interesting. Temples he's familiar with, but this is new. But, if it's holy--]

Would it be all right if I looked round? I promise I won't touch anything.

[Kairi didn't see the message, but she did smell the cookies as she was moving through the area and she wanders inside to the smell of cookies and the opportunity to read a story.]

Oh my gosh... you're a great grandma!

[Then Kairi thinks.]

I mean - not a great-grandma, just a nice grandma.

[At some point as Naoto's out walking around, she will spy a young redhead skipping around with flowers being held in both of her small hands. She stops then, looks right at Naoto, and runs straight in her direction to stop in front of her.]

Here you go.

[Big grin!]

[The frog collides with the barrier, throwing dramatic spiritual sparks off in every direction, and eventually breaks through. As it charges headlong toward Barry, his super move finishes charging, and he swings his axe toward its ugly face with a loud roar. As it cuts through the air, a chill wind blows, enveloping the head of the weapon in sharp ice crystals which burst and dig into the ayakashi's flesh as it impacts, causing massive damage.]

Haha! How's that!
very_goodman: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-05-20 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
A talent agency, huh? Guess I peaked and quit the band.

[He seems a little disappointed about that, but mostly just thoughtful.]

Yeah, Maddragonra would be good. Hopefully he isn't scared by us being bigger too. I don't think we could chase them both down if that's the case.

[ Goten laughs. But it is a good bet. Find Mandragonra and get little Aymeric to follow and trust them. Really all Goten wants to do is make sure he's okay and gain his trust again. His laughter stops dead as she starts to glow, making his eyes widen. Goten is awestruck as wings burst from her back.

Uh. Okay. Wow.

Goten didn't get to see before how she got her wings to appear before when they were smaller. This wasn't what he was expecting. Not that he's complaining either. But with that faint light still sparkling around her and her wings outstretched wings and the mischievous smile and, and and...the list just goes on. She's just....so amazing! Again, he can feel his face grow warmer almost instantly.
Get it together, Goten!]


Y-Yeah! I mean...if you think you can keep up with me.

[He tries to sound more confident because....actually, he doesn't know why. It just comes out. Shaking his head, Goten hovers into the air ahead of her before flipping around and floating backwards. If it's a race she wants, he's game!]

Did you say your temple or did you mean Souji's?

[Because he actually doesn't remember now.]

[It's the sound of crying that draws Kairi to Forrest. She's been out adventuring for a couple hours this morning, but that wandering brings her towards him.]

Aww... don't cry.

[She plunks down right next to him.]

I like your dress. And your pigtails.

[Maybe compliments will help.]
nobodyperfect: (Kid Huh)

Well 4 is my lucky number... Let's say the 16th

[personal profile] nobodyperfect 2017-05-20 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah?

[Waaaaait a second. That's...]

... You're... Sora, right? What's up?

[Roxas was right. He is a little kid now. This is all so weird.]

[The knight responds in a similarly spectral, slightly echoing voice as it places a hand across its chest.]

I am Draug. Pleased to meet you, young miss.

He and I've been buddies for a while now.

Oh wow... so pretty!

[Kairi wanders on over and sits down to watch him keep practicing, whether he notices her approach or not. After his next big display though, she claps her hands for him.]

[ They land back at the temple that he destroyed not too long ago - not that he knows that - and the teen takes his soaked clothes. ]

What were you doing there?

If you're sure...

[Overuse of her healing actually does exhaust her, so he's unknowingly saving her some exertion here.]

But the least I can do is make sure you're drinking enough of that.

[She smiles, pointing at the milk.]

Do you have enough money to buy more?

All right.

[She turns the camera around, pointing it toward the cathedral.]

Do you think you can remember what this place looks like? The bell tower is very tall, so that should help.
