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~

Woooah! [ Sorey follows behind her, stumbling a little - if only because he hadn't expected her to do that so suddenly. ] Hold on!

I suppose it must be yours then.

[That makes sense, doesn't it?

[But... well, it's not his house, is it? And Kija isn't quite sure what... what good Hakuryuu village would be without the white dragon in it. What if the King shows up, and he isn't there? He'll think he - he doesn't care or something and oh no that would be awful.]


I need to. I... They'll worry.

[If he's lucky.

[Granny might be mad.]
justclaws: (!child: baby this is serious)

[personal profile] justclaws 2017-05-22 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
My village.

[Okay: one last look.

[No, still absolutely nothing he recognizes, and even if there was--]


It doesn't matter. He didn't fall, did he?

[At the sound of his regular name, Barry transforms back.]

Right here! We better get outta here before somethin' else shows up. C'mon, you want a ride?

[He crouches down to offer her a piggyback ride.]

[ This temple seems familiar, it's the one Elfnein has visited twice before. But it's god is the girl that's very over the top and leads a music group, this little girl can't be the same person. ]

Your god has a very interesting temple.

Just yesterday, but I'm already gettin' used to it. Me an' my goddess went out and fought this huge fox monster!

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-05-23 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Those shows're for little girls, aren't they?
very_goodman: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2017-05-23 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, I can get back there no problem.

[He thinks for a moment, shrugging.]

Guess I'll just practice my guitar for a while.
alchemists: (look I'm useful)

[personal profile] alchemists 2017-05-23 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
I do, she's from the same place I'm from.

[personal profile] put_a_ring_on_it 2017-05-23 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I don't get around as quickly as I'm used to, but I'm all right.

[She doesn't want to worry him.]
put_a_ring_on_it: (Default)

Action!

[personal profile] put_a_ring_on_it 2017-05-23 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Good job!

[Luna laughs, reaching down to pat his head.]

The cookies are still warm. Would you like to come inside?
alchemists: (clap)

[personal profile] alchemists 2017-05-23 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Amazing, everything is carved from a single tree?

[ Judging from all the detail work on the door, the staircase and the rest of the hallway it must have taken a very long time to make. ]
put_a_ring_on_it: (focused)

[personal profile] put_a_ring_on_it 2017-05-23 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[In a sense, yes.]

No... I'm afraid I don't know anything more than you do about why we've been brought here.

Whatever kind of story you'd like to hear. The library here is very large.

[Oh good, he offered it on his own. That makes this much easier.]

...I understand. I'll keep it safe for you until you can master its power.
bartenderizing: (Elem - 4)

[personal profile] bartenderizing 2017-05-23 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah? That's good... Someone else I know that was aged up seems to have bad bone or joint problems.

[ He won't out who, but it'd suck if everyone brought to such an old age had to go through that kind of pain. ]

[Forrest frowns at the idea of being separated again so quickly, but nods. He wants to show his father that he can handle this.]

Mm. Okay. I'll be okay, daddy.
clothes_make_the_man: (frown)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-23 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
PriPara? What's that?

[Forrest no.]
clothes_make_the_man: (Default)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-23 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
It's Forrest. It's nice to meet you, Natsuru and Uta.

[He bows his head politely to each of them in turn.]
clothes_make_the_man: (distressed)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-23 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Forrrest glances back and forth uneasily, and then shakes his head.]

...No. I'm sorry. I was too scared.
clothes_make_the_man: (small smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-23 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Where did you see it last? We'll start by retracing your steps.

[Forrest looks at her, and back to the snacks, before nodding.]

Well... if it's okay...

[This would be so rude at home!]
clothes_make_the_man: (Default)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-23 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
That's the name of the goddess who usually lives here. She's very kind and beautiful. There are pictures of her inside if you'd like to have a look.
clothes_make_the_man: (distressed)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-23 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[He frowns again at the question.]

I... I'm lost... and I don't know anyone here...
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-23 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Forrest happily lets himself be pulled down, wrapping his arms around her and cuddling up close.]

Mmm... let's just stay like this for a while.
