016 | The Good Old Days

[godsoffortune]

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~

[ It doesn't occur to Goku they might be related. At least, not this Goku. After all, he's only got a day's worth of memories, and Goten is only maybe the 10th person he's ever met in his life.

Goten tells him to hang on, so he does, taking a fistful of cloud in his hands so he won't fall off as they zip through the sky with awesome speed. ]

Whooooooa!!!! Hahahahaha!

[ Flying is definitely the coolest thing he's done in his life so far. Which isn't much yet, but that's okay. This is a good place to start off his memories. ]

We're so high up!!

[cyberfly]

[ He frowns slightly when she laughs. He didn't think he said anything funny. But at this age, he's a lot more likely to be bothered by little things, especially when he thinks he's being completely adult-like. ]

He doesn't sound like a very useful sort. What does he do?

[cyberfly]

[ ooc: Actually, the crashing sound already happened, and it was the bricks falling, not something in Nagi's head.... x) ]

[ Nagi sniffs, looking at the boy with cool scrutiny (or so he thinks). He doesn't look that big, compared. ]

And I'm not loud. What are you talking about?

[deniles]

No. I'm not into that fancy shit.

[He flops down on the chair, arms slinged over the back as he looks at him and narrow his eye. He's prepared to die for any reason. He doesn't give a shit anyways.]

Just food.

[After a few gentle pets, he stops, but doesn't step away. This is blowing a child's mind, Celestia. Just so you know.]

Did you always have wings?

[Is it impolite? Ayumu supposes it is but she's not one to worry too much about manners at this age. Getting admonished by a child, even one that came out of nowhere like that, doesn't phase her a whole lot.

What he says about stairs catches her attention more and if this is a building with magically appearing windows, scaling the outside might be a little more treacherous than it's worth.]

Sure. Stairs sound great. Thanks. I bet the view's wonderful from up there.

[Without so much as a hint of contrition, she starts to climb in through the window.]

[letteropener]

It's all right. I really do appreciate the offer.

[Celestia hasn't had all those years to be perfectly polite and serene, but even as a pony-teen she knows she has to be special, an example. She's an alicorn, after all.]

[letteropener]

Yes, I did. Natural-born alicorns are very rare, but me and my sister are a pair!

[thehandhungers]

It is! If I were a native to these lands, and my senses were expanded to omniscient levels I would seek out only the most powerful and important totems. As we stand, on the precipice of oblivion, I will take as many minor ones as I can acquire. Their potency will wane but I shall not fear for lack of my own abilities.

[But as this is probably not the most productive place to be asking.]

I thank you for your attempt to aid me in my quest. I know the minds of many are closed to the sort of energies I require. At least you answered my call.

[little_key]

[Sora taps his cheek.]

Um, do you know where Kairi is?

[thehandhungers]

Yes, with the aid of many dark practitioners we may bring forth enough metaphysical might to shatter the heavens, tear apart this reality and reform it to make a better world. Of course we will be seen as villains, but ones of necessity!

[Totally let him play with it.]

[mithrarin]

I'm not saying you won't be. But I still don't want you to get hurt.

[He isn't moving, though he also isn't just leaping up to grab him and solve the problem directly. He can be patient, and empathetic.]

[nibelungvalesti]

We should find someplace safe, first of all. Someplace we can hide if we have to. [She is no match for warriors or even thugs, and she doesn't believe Ayumu would be either. And they can only run for so far, and so long.]
