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~

[He lets Fubuki take the bottle.]

This way then.

[And he'll proceed to lead Fubuki to the hill.]

Hmm okay.

[ He glances around and then points ahead. There's a really tall tree just off the path and it's on top of a hill, too. ]

Let's climb that one!
solaris9: (tiny: nom nom)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-26 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, yeah, I think so. I mean...I'm kinda hungry.

[ And his stomach even growls a little just then. Oops. Goku grins sheepishly. ]

Do you know if there's any food around here?

[Her hands are shaking a little. With a tangible flush of concern, Tsuzuki thinks at her:]

Are you okay? -- Hey, you don't know what I can do yet! I could have a cool power!

[He could. Admittedly, he has no idea what it could be, but he's, what, a stick? He feels sort of like a big, flat stick. Perfect for hitting, or maybe for pointing dramatically.]
solaris9: (tiny: wary)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-26 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
But I'm not a brat. I'm Goku.

[ Boo, that wasn't very nice. Besides, everyone's a random person you've just met, until you talk to them. And then they're not so random anymore. ]

What about you?
kurukuruchan: (boyish)

[ This is true. Hibiki grips the meter stick in one hand, brandishes it like a scepter. Which both helps with her shivers (a little) and makes her think of something. ]

....The pun is pretty ridiculous.

[ She's a prince

with a ruler, you see.

Does raising it above her head and swinging it around do anything? ]
cutest_knight: (You left me hanging by a string)

[ Ichiru leans most of his weight on Zero when he gets close enough to support him. He looked a bit frustrated that he was stuck like this while feeling like he's some kind of burden without really thinking it. ]

I'm fine-- who is that?

[ He tilts his head a little staring at the taller man that he's never seen before, or recalled. Whatever it may be he was an adult. ]
cutest_knight: (The way that it goes)

[personal profile] cutest_knight 2017-05-26 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ He opened his eyes briefly when he heard someone talk to him. Though, strangely enough he doesn't seem too worried about her hurting him. He nods his head. ]

I'll be fine. You don't need to worry about me.

[ Because as far as he could recall its always been like this ]

[ They sneak inside the house, and it looks a lot less spooky in daylight. And walking the halls with Gojyo, who beats up grown-ups, he feels bolder. ]

I dunno any adults, yet. Are they mean here?

[ He reaches for a doorknob and tries it. It turns. He opens the door slowly and peeks inside. There's no one in there, so he sneaks in, holding the door open for Gojyo. It smells like paper and books in here. ]
sweetdeath: (abuh?)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2017-05-26 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
What pun?

[You're going to have to walk him through this one, Hibiki.

He's not the swiftest on the uptake with jokes. Being swished through the air like he's a sword or something does make him feel very dramatic, though.

(She might notice, as she swings him around, that she's growing taller, bit by bit. Not older; just bigger, as though she's taken a careless bite of a cake in Wonderland.)]
cutest_knight: (Whether we will see another day)

[personal profile] cutest_knight 2017-05-26 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ He doesn't really understand why this blond haired person was talking to him, much less paying attention to him. In fact, the energy he was giving off was starting to bother Ichiru He seemed to radiant for his own good for a moment. He stared at the other for a moment longer before speaking with his lips parted slightly through the fever that he has. ]

...There's no need. It will pass as it always does.

[ Because that's how his body works. It never does what he wants and always becoming worse than it already was. Sometimes he would be okay, and others he was struggling. His breathing was fine for now but he was still hotter than most people. The weather wasn't helping for sure. ]

What do you suppose we do. I can't move very far....?

[ He almost stared wide eyed at Takuma as he started fanning him with his little hands. What is the stranger blond doing? ]
solaris9: (tiny: :3)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-26 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ Been better must mean he's not as good now, which is sad. But Goku thinks getting a snack together is a great idea, and of course it has to make the man feel lots better too.

Goku ducks his head and giggles when the man ruffles his hair. ]


I wanna snack! An' I don't really know anyone. [ So no plans! ]
cutest_knight: (On my way to a different place)

[personal profile] cutest_knight 2017-05-26 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ It doesn't really change the situation for Ichiru so it was probably better off not being said. He's right. Ichiru nods his head briefly. ]

Okay, but you don't have to do this.

[ Because a part of him did feel bad about having this person do all the work for him. He doesn't really understand everything right now but he understood the basics. ]

...

[ There's not much he could do as he nods his head. It doesn't take long before he notices Zero coming back with water and handing it to him. He slowly takes it and sips from it and did help his throat a little. Maybe his face is less flush as well. ]
cutest_knight: (Only time will tell)

[personal profile] cutest_knight 2017-05-26 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ He most certainly does because Reisi sure looks like one right now in that funky suit. Of course, the adult only makes him seem more confused with his antics. ]

Sea.... anemone? [ Ichiru seemed really unimpressed. Maybe because he's twelve and not five. ]

No. I haven't. Regardless-- Mister you look funny.
cutest_knight: (But I'm strong stronger than you know)

[personal profile] cutest_knight 2017-05-26 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ichiru doesn't seem to be pleased by his words. Was it wrong to offer solace to someone who suffers similarly to him? Perhaps, that was why he seemed to be more attentive to Eric than most people. He seemed to probably understand the darkness that slowly crept in Ichiru's heart-- he didn't know why but he couldn't recall anything. ]

You don't know about what?
kokuyoyo: (I don't even know how to be here.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-05-26 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
[His shoulders slump from the reassurance that knowledge brings, and he nods quietly before taking the first step. If he remembers right.... This way?]

....I saw a lot of other kids around.

To whom? The rich? Kings and conquerors on their thrones? Wealthy priests? No one ever came to give us anything!
