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~

But you're moving.

[ She points this out curiously, with very solemn logic, as she watches him scoop up the stick.

Then she starts looking around for one, too. ]


I want to help!

[The nearest person happens to be a six year old Forrest. He smiles and curtsies back, just like he learned to do at home. His parents may not be around much, but he does know he's a prince.]

I like kitties - u-um, I mean cats - too! Do you want to look for one together?

[Wow, really?]

Why would I be in diapers? That's more likely to happen to you!

[At least from what he's seen, everyone older is going younger and vice versa. He does give a grin though]

I was looking forward to at least patting your head if you turned into a kid, Yata!

[Sadly, he seemed to of missed it. Anyway;]

Training. Or at least trying to get rid of some of my energy. Ever since I turned bigger my body been sort of tingly and I've been having trouble controlling my Chi.

[personal profile] rainbowmaster 2017-05-18 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[His smile softens a bit.]

They're my family. I've only ever known them since I didn't have any other friends my age.

[The boy mulls this over, looking thoughtfully at Pookie as he strokes her.]

...what do cats eat?

[He's probably around the age of nine. Most kids should know what a cat eats by this age, but this kid doesn't.]

Is that a game?

[ She's never heard of it. And she happened to wander into this building looking for other people, since there were none (that she found) in the building where she'd woken up....but another person who knows a game is even better. ]

What's a good place? Like....close to your food kinda good?

[Sorry Izumo, he usually just jumps between you and Aymeric for food. This whole looking out for himself thing is weird]

[ mei stares at him, his deadpan face more exaggerated on his tiny, childish features. ]

What. [ it's easy to forget that ekko's world was strange compared to, you know, mei's normal one... ] No, that just makes you sound like a crazy person. The human body isn't meant to take that much force. Even a major leaguer can only pitch up to about a hundred miles an hour before he has to stop, cause the torque would destroy your muscles if you went much faster.

Being able to throw as fast as I do in this body would ruin me. "Magic healing" or not. It'd just come back again.

[ a little sulkily... he just wants to pitch.... ]

I'll look after them. [ That's easy enough. ] Jae-Ha never changed yesterday, so maybe he's still the same. And Hak... [ Hak was a handful no matter what age he happened to be. ] It's only fair since you looked after me yesterday.

But stop moving until we do something about this!

[The next person happens to be an elderly Lunafreya. She smiles down at him, but then frowns at his obvious injuries.]

...Of course. Here, let me help you.

[Taking the bottle, she opens it and hands it back.]

You certainly have a lot of injuries... did you get into a fight?
justclaws: (!child: no regrets)

[personal profile] justclaws 2017-05-18 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. I do want to.

[He just doesn't think he's in any way supposed to. But - if the Princess wants him to, disappointing her would be bad, too, in a way that feels much, much worse. So there, if she says it's okay--

[He takes her hand. It's really nice. Is it bad that he thinks that?]


Thank you.
twilightdragon: (is pleased)

[Corrin has been in the fortress for as long as she can remember. Her maids always told her that her dad didn't think she's ready for the outside world. She's been in the outside world for awhile and everything has been going well so far. She knows she can do this!

Corrin returns the smile as she folds her list back up.
]

Let's go find one! Oh, my name is Corrin, what's yours?

[Quattordici shakes his head.] Nuh uh. [But he's already trying to get on, a little carefully. It tries to roll out from under him in short order, at which point Quattordici immediately grabs onto it with his hands, so he's crouched on it on all fours.

This, of course, topples him and the board over, albeit more gently than if he'd still been upright. But after a moment, he laughs. Absolute failure doesn't seem to bother him.]
That was fun!

Sorry? You don't have anything to be sorry for.

[Where did you even get that candy? Please tell Goten you 'Stranger Danger'ed more people then just him.]

I do really believe so though. You're great, Aymeric!

[Izumo's pulled forward, though he's a bit surprised by the sudden urgency he's going through.]

What happened?
clothes_make_the_man: (small blush smile)

2, on 7/17

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-05-18 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[That looks delicious, and tiny six year old Forrest has never seen anything like it before. He didn't mean to stare, but he's curious about what Sakura's eating.]

...Oh! Mm... mm-hmm.

[There's a shy little nod and a smile.]
kurukuruchan: (reassure)

[ Hey, a person! In her castle. This is great. Hibiki grins. ] Making invitations.

[ And so she is. This big, fancy dinner table is covered in supplies she found in a closet. There's paper, and doilies, and markers, and pens...

She kicks her bare feet from where they're swinging, unable to reach the ground from this GIANT THRONE-LIKE CHAIR that was sitting at the head of the table. It is the coolest chair she has ever seen. ]


You can do some, too.
justclaws: (!child: not quite)

[personal profile] justclaws 2017-05-18 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
But... what if you get stung?

[Oh... I'll probably have to kill myself or something. To make up for it.]
toremainbehind: ([115])

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-18 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Not quite close as my food, but good enough.

[Listen, he can cook for you--Only if you let him.]

[And here's little Forrest, wearing a pink sundress and hair in pigtails. When Sora takes his spill, he rushes over, looking worried.]

Oh no! Um... um... do you need help?
kurukuruchan: (laugh)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-18 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
It's a promise!

[ Hibiki nods. ]

Friends don't break those.

[ The moment he feels him, Zero forgets all about the temple. ]

Ichiru!

[ His eyes widen in shock and worry. What was he doing here?! Why did he... s surge of regret suddenly rears its head as he realizes why he's there. He should have left a note. ]

Ichiru. [ He's at his side, his hand automatically going around him in both support and comfort. ] Are you okay?

Are you sure? I mean..we can probably go somewhere and get some. I don't wanna take all your ice cream, Eric.

[Eric you are a good friend. Goten isn't ever letting you go. And being so tiny...its so cute!]

Okay! [ He runs withher, staying close behind with a big smile. He was getting kind of excited! ]

I'm Sorey. What's your name?
tinyrainbow: (pic#11408338)

I have like three threads going with her right now but w/e I do what I want. July 16, late morning.

[ The church is surprisingly quiet, despite all of the strange things going on around the Far Shore. Perhaps the archangel's domain has not been affected by the strange effects of time distortion after all, and as Nanako arrives on the grounds (be it by ground or by air), all seems to be in its proper place.

Until one of the doors of their modest church opens, and a tiny figure peeks her head out to look, wrapped up to her shoulders in a sheet and a look of wonder as clear as day on her face.

An angel? An actual angel? ]
