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~

[Kairi ran home after figuring out several of the kids didn't have anything to eat, so she actually has a small bag full of peanut butter & jelly sandwiches.]

Uhm - I don't need to eat. I had lunch already.

[But she offers Oona the open bag. Perhaps a mistake. There's about 7 sandwiches in there.]

[Luna is careful not to invade the girl's space, not wanting her to feel even more trapped.]

Your... parents?

[That's not something she expected to hear. Isn't she a goddess?]

[Kairi just assumes he's talking to someone else when he asks the question. It's only when the answer doesn't come that she looks up at him.]

Oh. Hello. My name's Kairi. It's very nice to meet you.

[Because introductions should come first. Obviously.]

[Okay so there is some life to him. He's not trying to hold him against his will so he'll gently set him down.]

Everyone has a temple...or at least one they live in.

That would mean... Her being a god too.

[ Even someone could guess what 'herself' means, after this guy was so focused on the memories. He wants her to remember. Would it really change everything if she had no memories?

Well, it's too much trouble to concern himself with it. This wasn't really his business. ]


In that case, I'll see ya later.

[ That makes some sense, so have Mikoto shoving him with enough force to drop him to the ground. ]

Tag.

[personal profile] put_a_ring_on_it 2017-05-20 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, I don't mind at all.

[Stepping aside, she gestures toward the front entrance.]

Please, make yourself at home.

oh gosh what a precious little cutie

[Luna can't help but laugh at that, smiling back at her.]

Well, thank you. It means a lot for an old woman to hear a nice compliment like that.

[ Meanwhile today is the day that Kairi herself ends up being a little smaller than usual. So have a tiny redhead wandering through the streets - nay, skipping - and eventually stopping to look around at Yona's front gate. She's wondering if there's any wildflowers here. ]

...That's right.

[He doesn't like to lie, as a rule, but there are some weird circumstances at play here.]

I'll make sure no one can hurt you.

Uh...yeah..but I think its gone.

[Don't worry about that, it's nothing important. He blinks down at the small girl, trying to figure out who she is. With all the adults turned into kids...]

I'm sure it wasn't anything bad, it's more important that you're okay.

[He looks her over briefly before holding his hand out]

Lemme help you up.

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Mm-hmm! You're always studying, so it's gotta be the strongest.

[Forrest crawls out of Leo's arms, walking next to him but still reaching for his hand.]

[ Kairi has discovered Nanako's temple and all of the pretty flowers there, so she's bound and determined to collect as many of them into her skirt as will fit.

Which is not that many.

At least she's humming a happy tune as she keeps spilling them over the side? ]
clothes_make_the_man: (small smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
It's all right. I won't hurt you.

[He smiles comfortingly, nodding back at her and slowly reaching out a hand. Not to touch her, just as an offer of help. She's free to refuse, of course.]
irregular: (are you talking about me?)

[personal profile] irregular 2017-05-20 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
No, really? That's okay?

[Do people sleep in temples? Churches don't work that way, and there's a fragment of knowledge he can't think why he possesses. He'd have figured temples were much the same, but she's the God and it's her temple. If Elfnein says it's okay to sleep there then it must be okay. When God speaks, you don't argue back if you know what's good for you.]

I... am I supposed to just go home with you?

[Not that I don't want to or anything, not if that's what's meant to happen...

[Yeah but she's a girl and that's forward.]


I mean, I could go somewhere else if it's weird.
clothes_make_the_man: (small smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I could still tell you a story, though, if you'd like.

[He'll just make one up.]

[ Even if he didn't know, it'd feel like a waste of her magic if this was going to disappear once he was normal again. When she points at the milk, he glances over to it. Whether it was embarrassment or something else, he wasn't really sure, but his eyes stayed on it. ]

I, uh... Actually, I have over 30 bottles. Ah, I guess it'd be 20 at this point. I bought it in bulk before all this started happening.
irregular: (bats aren't bugs?)

[personal profile] irregular 2017-05-20 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Then surely rifts in the space time whatever are just TV, too? Who are you waiting for, anyway?
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Even if she does look a little different, Forrest would know Kairi anywhere - especially since she flew in on Nimbus. Smiling back at her, he pulls her into a gentle embrace and plants a brief but tender kiss on her lips.]

Does that answer your question?
clothes_make_the_man: (frown)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He flinches again at the f-word, but doesn't say anything about it this time. Sorry, Davesprite. He's being raised to be a proper prince.]

U-um... there was a big shiny temple...

[ Dammit Bandou! Mikoto's going to kill you when this is over, but for the moment, there's real fear in the pit of his stomach which has him starting CPR. You're lucky Totsuka forced him to go to that class with him because right now there's two hands just beneath your heart slamming down hard like they taught him. He does 30 reps before letting go to tilt his head back as he pinches his nose and delivers three quick breaths. He continues the chest compressions followed by mouth to mouth while that ball of fear naws at his conscience. ]
clothes_make_the_man: (eheheh)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
It's all right. A lot of strange things have been happening lately.

[Understatement of the year.]

Are you lost? Would you like some help?
lionhearrt: (Teen: Innocent)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-05-20 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Mikoto nods. ]

Just don't let the girls catch you watching them. They get mad.
clothes_make_the_man: (big smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, oh, and the one with the little ribbon!

[Even more than cute animals, Forrest loves ribbons.]

Do you want to go look together?

[Oh. Wait. He looks at Natsuru's guardian.]

...Can we?
clothes_make_the_man: (Default)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-20 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
This one!

[He takes the strawberry one. Because it's pink.]
