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~

Telling the time isn't the problem.

[...Maybe she shouldn't be so literal in her answer, either.]

Where'd you get the idea to tell dead people to live, anyway?

[Why yes, she is indeed ignoring the question about who the medicine's for.]

Mm, I'll need to treat you to a drink then.

[ Eric blinks, hearing that. His first few minjtes of coming nere were interesting to say the least. But he didn't want Ren to worry. He felt bad enough for seperating Ren and Hibari by showing up. ]

You don't choose your shinki. And, it doesn't matter if you get more, to me.

[ He gives a loose shrug. There seemed to be a lot of fighters that came by, which was useful at least. ]

If I have to, I'll defend myself. But I won't intentionally cause trouble or anything. Your our god so I'll go with your decisions.

[That prompts a chuckle out of him. (Sorry, Shun, he couldn't help it.)] I'm sure you will.

[He stands.] You're more allowed than most people to be here. But you have to listen to me exactly.

[He doesn't like it, but the risk that Shun would end up following him is too much of a bad prospect. He honestly has no idea if Shun would, but that's even more reason to be careful...]

When we get there...you'll need to hide.

That's good. Let's try to keep it that way, then!

[He stands back up, takes the paper crown, fiddles with it for a second, and then gently sets the newly small-ified crown on Yuto's head.]

There. Now you're with me. What did you want to see?

[personal profile] birdstheword 2017-05-22 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
But I remember you! I love you Yuto-chan!

[She just smiles at him sweetly]

Hey, hey. It's okay if you don't remember me or anthing else, you know why?

[Anndd up the side of a building they go]

Yep! You gotta help me though, Izuzu-chan! We're gonna patrol together so I'm counting on you to, okay?

[This really is too much fun!]

Okay!! I'll do my best. Gatcha!!

Hm.

[Cool. Fushimi turns to leave only to be stopped by the horse nibbling his shirt yet again]

...your horse.

[Two years...he hadn't realized it'd been such a short time ago.] You had a normal childhood, then...

[There's no way he can contextualize the rest of it, so all he can do is imagine. When even that fails him, he just listens to the words.]

[He lets a long moment pass.]

...Shun. What will you do when you manage to get back there?

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-22 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...are you trying to get somewhere then? I know this place like the back of my head, I can probably get you where ever you're headed.

[The expression may not be said correctly but the thought is still there. At least Yuto isn't crying or running away from him like most of the kids around here.]
candyconsumption: (let's take a moment)

[personal profile] candyconsumption 2017-05-22 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not a romantic, are you.... [ He mused, before smiling a little. ] A very practical boy.
songoten: DNS - commissioned from <user name=keldeo> (0075)

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-22 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Sure...no problem.

[Luckily he doesn't know you that well Gonou and with Hakkai gone he really doesn't have all the much reason to go to the school other then to maybe pester Yoon. It's not a lie but that 'try' is going to be a very small attempt. There's something off about this guy though and Goten can't place it. It must be because he has Hakkai's face]

What's something you've learned?

[While he's not into reading, hearing stories is totally different]
blizzardrock: (chain link)

[personal profile] blizzardrock 2017-05-22 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha, I appreciate the thought. But you're eighteen, though?

[He doesn't encourage that kind of rule-breaking.]
songoten: (037)

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-22 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I donno about you, but I don't like Izumo mad. If I blow up temples or his bar, he probably will be. Even if it is on accident...

[Goten actually doesn't know what a mad Izumo looks like. He's seen tired and annoyed but mad? It sounds like some myth. He's not really interested in digging into that either.]

Uhhh there's been a lot of people that changed. Izumo is really one of the only people I've seen not affected.

[Ah! She said her name is pretty! The small girl's smile grows a little less bashful, and she nods.]

Yeah...

I thought it'd be okay to leave the temple. But everything's so big, and... [Her smile falters, and she looks down again. She already admitted she was kind of lost. She's sure she remembers being allowed to go places like this on her own, and doing it without getting scared. But now...

Being alone and lost is terrifying. As nervous as she seems, she's relieved having such a nice and pretty and cool grownup with her.]

[He's at a school. There are so many different kinds of backpacks. But after consideration, he shakes his head.]

I don't think it's here...

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-22 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks a little curious about that.]

It's easier to see things for the way they are.
toremainbehind: ([04] It trembles ceaselessly)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-22 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[A mischievous grin.]

No one needs to know my age. [He can probably be sneaky enough to get himself into a bar.

Let him do this, Fubuki.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-22 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Is... that a place?

[It doesn't sound like any place he's heard of, but then, it's likely he hasn't heard of Japan at this age, either.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-22 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes a few minutes, but... eventually, the sobbing recedes, even if the tears don't entirely. Boy does he try, however.]

I can't... I can't find him...
candyconsumption: (and look deep inside)

[personal profile] candyconsumption 2017-05-22 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps.

But is it as fun?
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-22 11:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Adults hurt kids.

[It's said matter of factly even as he reaches the stairs.]
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-22 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's stunned into silence, mouth halfway open through an answer that apparently doesn't need to be given. Quickly enough, however, he's bristling.]

It's my name! It's what I'm called!
minibeauty: (Accomplished)

[personal profile] minibeauty 2017-05-22 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, help her, Oona's being so cute right now. Hugs are always nice, right? Not that Natsuru can really hug her back like this, but... okay, sure, this is fine.]

You're still hungry?

[Hmmm, she's not sure Maria would like her spending so much money on snacks and sweets. But if it's for Oona...]

Okay! Let's go get something. What do you like?
