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~

[ Yeah, it's painful. It'll be worth it when he gets up to the teen and kicks them in the leg.

It's rude to just watch someone as they just get injured. ]

[ You're not in danger, you're getting yourself hurt. It's your choice. He does that a lot. So, he's not going to try and stop you. If you fuck up, you deal with it. It's what he does. ]

[Anger and sadness both well up in shocking amounts to vie for control of the girl, and against the pressure all she can do is slap her hands to her eyes.]

That is a lie. Gods don't care about humans!
littlest_knight: (Don't say that)

[ He blinks in surprise. He's a twin. He can't imagine being alone. Ichiru was always there and if he was too sick to be with him, Zero always had the goal of finishing what he had to do to return to him. ]

..... Where's your family?

[ He also can't just stay there on the ground after getting hurt. Who would predict that the tree would break and that he'd hurt his leg from stomp-kicking it.

But seriously, now that he's close enough he's kicking you. With the same leg he already hurt. (Because he's not about to use it to hold his weight. ]

Mmmhm! Izumo is a big help too I bet. He's the best.

[Really Goten has been lucky to have so many good teachers and he knows it. It shows in his smile goes. But the age question. Well..]

Um...I don't really know. Shinki don't remember anything besides their names but, uh...

[He leans down a bit to use his hand and the ground as a guide to give a rough idea of his height. About four feet.]

Shizuo guessed I was maybe seven or eight?
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-20 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
....I'm trying to find someone.

[And having shit luck, for the record.]
littlest_knight: (Yes?)

[personal profile] littlest_knight 2017-05-20 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ His brows crease. She's never seen a cat before? ]

There's always cats.

[ I mean, they're a common pet. You always spotted some if you walked long enough. ]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-20 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[A startled hiccup, and he rapidly shakes his head even as he hastily tries to wipe the tears from his eyes. It'd be easier if he could stop crying, but.... That's not happening anytime soon.]

[ Even at this age, Mikoto's been in enough fights to know what's coming, but it's a kid so he'll just move out of the way. ]

Want me to fix it?
onedrinkwithme: (huh)

...looking for cats is a mission here?

[Seriously? This place is weird]
bartenderizing: (Elem - 14)

[personal profile] bartenderizing 2017-05-20 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Well, it would've been dumb if you just took a kick from a kid that was slowly walking towards you. ]

What, now you're gonna do something?

[ You seemed fine with just watching before. ]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-20 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes him a second to respond, because he's still marveling at telekinetic unicorn pony eating a carrot.]

Um- what kind?

I don't have a family.

[At least, for as long as Lavi can remember, anyway.

All Lavi knows for a fact is that he can't depend on anybody, not even most adults, so he's used to being alone a lot. But the idea of a family is definitely foreign to him enough that he's sure he doesn't have one.]

[personal profile] ammyterasu 2017-05-20 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[A good question. Amaterasu looks thoughtful.]

I think... that is true for the people who are here right now. They are very curious and do things that they should not.

[!!!!! Yato immediately brightens.]

Yeah! We can go somewhere and take some people out!! That would be fun!!

[Laslow turns and... OH BOY that's definitely a cute girl. He is not gonna regret the choices he's made today, nope.]

A-ahaha, well that's good to know. I'm... not usually sans a girlfriend either.

[Dude.]

[personal profile] ammyterasu 2017-05-20 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ah, it probably is a little confusing. Hmm! Well, she'll try her best to explain.]

From my perspective, it has been over a century since we solved the problem with the unusual gods and shinki.

[Hopefully that makes it make sense!]
ammyterasu: (older9)

[personal profile] ammyterasu 2017-05-20 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[For a moment, she continues to look uncertain. And then her face breaks into a smile.]

Izumo-san! It has been so long!

[She grabs for his hands.]

It is wonderful to see you again!
ammyterasu: (older9)

[personal profile] ammyterasu 2017-05-20 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Amaterasu actually recognizes Barry instantly and her face softens considerably as she realizes that he is younger than she remembers him being.]

It is not a problem you must concern yourself with, Barry-kun. But let us just say that I never expected to see many of these faces again.
twilightdragon: (hmm?)

That's something I thought about when I became older again. I don't remember running into many adults. The ones I did run into were very helpful, maybe they could have helped defended us, if we needed it.

[It does worry Corrin a little that so many people were changed in such a span of time. However, talking about it does ease her worries. Nothing happened, now they can try to figure out where to go next.]

I'll admit being a child again wasn't that bad. Hmm, I wonder if the change happened to everyone. Maybe the native gods and shinki weren't able to avoid it, then again I wonder if anyone would recognize them. Oh, excuse me for not introducing myself. My name is Corrin, what's yours?

[Izumo buries his face in his hand for a moment, saying nothing.]

[Thank goodness. The chanting was very irritating. Amaterasu pauses a moment to remove the barrier she had raised with her sword before putting it away into a sleeve and turning to watching Hibiki.]

You do not look harmed. That is good.

[She squats down, making herself smaller and less intimidating.]

What is your name, young miss?

[Why is everything breaking?

Why has this become his life?]
