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~

And humans have hands, too, so that's something you have and need to take care of that we ponies don't.

No, no, it needs to be real. You need a horn for spells like you need a hand for fingers! [She's very proud of this analogy.]

He's tall. [As is everyone, to Platina.] On the thin side, with blond hair, about my age.

That's my name.

[He doesn't know how he got it. But it is his name.]

Mmm.

[Name matters very little to him, unless he has to find someone to get his payment. But, there's food as payment. Taking the spoon, he begins to eat it down rather quickly.]

[Souji glances up, looking a little defensive. Next to him, the duck does the same, managing to mimic his expression with a bit more menace.

This kid is older than him, though. Caught between apprehension and unwillingness to back down, what he manages to blurt out is:]


Can't I say that my own God is dumb?

[Well. It's PROBABLY his God since he woke up at this temple, right?]

[This is a story Souji is 100% ready to believe, because it involves someone being concerned for a cute little bird, and also because he isn't really the kind of person who mistrusts someone's intentions unless he has reason to. He stands up, craning his neck a bit so he can see the room a bit better. No bird in sight.]

I can't see one either. Although I guess I could climb up there and help you look if you're not sure. [He smiles and shrugs.] Or you could come down here. I've got sweets and tea.

[P R I O R I T I E S.]

[He’d smack you with something much bigger if he could! But someone is making that possibility a problem (and delaying the inevitable now). Sousuke doesn’t stop at all and keeps jumping at the side of the tub, paws and nails scratching against the glossy walls. God! Seriously?! Rin sticks him in the bathtub and he’s stuck in here? You’d think with his human brain, he’d be able to figure a way out of this predicament even with his little puppy body…

Grrr, Sousuke’s gonna throw him in the first story window the moment he’s bigger again! He doesn’t know how far away Rin needs to be to hear his thoughts in this form, but he’s definitely thinking some rude things! And still yapping his little puppy head off. Barking and yelping and scratching at the side of the tub with all the stubborn determination he can muster.

Let him out! Get your ass back here and get him out of this tub, you stupid dummy!

Paws poke above the rim of the tub, but that’s too little for him to get any grip. He’s already tried to jump and ended up bonking his head when he fell over a second later. Plus he’s got that tail to deal with and doesn’t want to hurt it from some awkward motion. … BARK BARK YELP! Yes he is going to be this noisy!

Can’t even see Rin poke his jerky face back into the bathroom, but he does hear his voice. With a little wuff, Sousuke drops back to the bottom of the tub and sits down. Grumpy and pouting, one of those floppy little ears fallen backwards till he shakes his head a few times to fix it. Hmph. Keep it down he says. He’s not stuck in here cause of whatever this curse is! He’s stuck in here cause you’re a buttface!

Sousuke gives Rin about one minute of silence…]


HOOOOOWL!!!

[You don’t got anything! And Sousuke crows in triumph when his barrage of attacks lands home.] Hah! Take that! [It’s obvious Rin’s not supposed to get away because Sousuke is the Pillow Master of a Thousand Blows! And he’s making sure he gets as many hits in as possible before the other boy gets his bearings back on him. Whamp Boff Fwop! He doesn’t want a smack in the face so have more pillowy offence.]

Uwah-? Hey! [Where do you think you’re going? Rin can’t go rolling away from him! Sousuke lands on one foot, his heavy attack throwing him off balance. Eyes widen and he jerks his head towards that raised pillow. Only a second of mistake and--] Crap! [He yanks his head down, trying to shield himself from the rain of blows.] Why you- Hey cut it—Oh that’s it! [Smack! Smack smack! Have some semi-pathetic flails to the side as he tries to smack at Rin’s hips to get him distracted or something. Sheesh! What a stubborn guy!]

All right. I'll look for him for you. In the meantime, you can take refuge at my cathedral. You'll be safe there - you have my word.

[Gonou's eyebrows flick up, dismissively, and he takes a seat before tucking into his own meal. He eats quickly, too, although with the kind of careful neatness that years of being scolded about manners produces.

If Zero doesn't feel like chatting, then Gonou isn't going to be the one to insist.]

No it's not. Everyone has a name. I do.

[ He looks at the boy curiously and thinks very very hard. ]

What about Sky?

[ They must have been a really weird 12 year old. Ichiru isn't one of those unfortunately. He'll just be honest to his feelings as he continues to stare at the blue haired man quietly. ]

Aren't you not a sea anemone then? I don't understand why you would humiliate yourself in that costume.

[ But he just said they already took away their memories...

Still, Gojyo is being nice and Goku hates being totally mopey in front of his new friend. He nods and nods. ]


Okay, you promise.

I don’t think so. And I don’t know, but it definitely feels better than moping around.

Obviously not everyone does.

[ Because otherwise, he would have one, right? ]

That’s not a fucking name. Plus it doesn’t make sense.

[ Well, it can be in his language, but still. ]

It's okay to climb trees -- just make sure you can get back down, okay? [Dust is the last person who has any right to say a kid shouldn't do athletic feats of that nature...]
