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 considers arguing, however childishly, about why anyone would have so many ducks in their temple if they weren't significant somehow. But he doesn't want to, not really. His feet are tired from walking around and he doesn't want this to stop being his home. He needs somewhere to be, somewhere to go.

The god walks closer, and the introduction seems like it might be an attempt at an olive branch, however abruptly it is delivered. Soujirou fidgets a bit, but then instinct wins out and he responds with a somewhat mechanical-looking bow, as if he can't get the tension out of himself to do it properly.]


I'm Okita Soujirou. [He holds up his hand, showing the red strokes of the kanji branded onto his left hand, like a physical echo of a hand clutching his in a dark forest which he cannot be allowed to remember.] But I think this is my real name here.

[He smiles.]

Alright, then let's do this.

[Can handwave over this?]

[ That has him looking up, his eyes shifting from left to right before going back to the belt and yanking it off in one swift pull. ]

There's no one here.

[ Translation: No cops, no arrest. ]

[Hajime hums, reaching out and carefully untying the eyepatche string. They're already loose so its easy. Making sure it's set right, she starts retying it.]

I think this thing may be a little big for you. If you run around a lot it's gonna get loose no matter how I tie it.

[Well, she could a hell of a knot but she's not sure if Lavi ever needs to take it off. So instead she unclips the iconic silver bird clip from her hair and uses it to hold the eyepatch strings a bit more securely.]

Ta-da! How's that feel?

[And the Izumomma and son bonding cooking montage will go right here]


[Naturally once everything is plated and they're seating down, Goten wastes no time thanking for the meal and digging to stuff his face. So good! Always so good! He smiles as he chews.]

I'm never going to get tired of your food Izumo. It's the best!

[no flattery, just fact cause man does he enjoy great food!]

[ Thank you for not being a total asshole and letting him drown, Mikoto. Bandou will appreciate that once he starts to breath again and regains consciousness.

That's not quite yet though. Even as he's finally pulled back above the surface of the water. Funny how they switched positions in this scenario so quickly. ]

Mikoto.

[Damn you.]

Just teleport back to the damn bar.

... which movies are those?

[That's terribly vague!]

[IT'S SO ON. That is to say, it will be on once Souji's heart has stopped acting so silly, he has regained his breath a bit and his body starts obeying him better.

For now, he sits down on the bench next to Hijikata, back straight and legs properly gathered up unlike some people who have to try to take up all available space just because. He indicates a couple of plastic bags that he'd dropped behind the bench in order to clap his hands over Hijikata's eyes.]


Buying some things, like I said. Mostly candy, and some other fun things. [He pointedly runs his own fingers through his hair just in case someone messed it up.] It's been a bit weird, since people don't seem to see me unless I make them. Did that happen to you too?

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-19 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad I haven't lost my touch.

[A grin as he decides he might as well eat, too.

Besides, he gets the feeling Goten would really push him this time if he doesn't.]
minibeauty: (Guh-?!)

yes, good ♥

[Mira caught Natsuru just when she was starting to look a little overwhelmed. So she gasps and looks surprised for a moment when the nice-looking lady kneels down closer to her level.]

Oh! Um, h-hi...

[A pause, as she registers the question.]

I...

I don't know...

[Wasn't there a music store back where she came from? But she doesn't see it anymore...]

[Hijikata looks down at that red mark marring the child's hand, and somehow... somehow, it isn't as surprising as he thinks it perhaps ought to be.]

"Ume", huh?

[It's a girly name. Delicate, which might suit Souji. But if it's got to do with him, with what he'd call him...]

That's a good name. The flower that blooms to spite the cold... You must be tougher than you look.

[personal profile] rainbowmaster 2017-05-19 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
It is.

[And don't worry, if she falls Cobalt Eagle will appear to catch her.

Let's just ignore how taxing bringing out these monsters will make Johan exhausted later, okay.]

But I don't want to get another one.

[And he doesn't trust Hajime enough to have her buy a new one for him.

Although, he feels the clip and he blinks, trying to look back at her.

What did you put in his hair?]


It feels better. Thank you.
ambitioninwait: ('Til we find our way)

[personal profile] ambitioninwait 2017-05-19 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Hijikata hums a little, trying not to watch Souji too obviously.]

Had a little trouble with that. Hard to keep the shopkeepers' attention for long.
drops_acid: (hmm?)

[Do pirates wear eye patches? Cardia has to admit that she's not too well informed on pirate fashion.]

Well... I don't know much about pirates, but I'm fairly sure he isn't one. And the goblins are real. You can see them for yourself if you go to the library.

[But they are getting a little off topic now.]

Um, do you remember when it was that you saw him?

[If it wasn't too long ago maybe she could catch up with him.]

I didn't have time before you ran into me! [He's just...going to keep trying to reach Mikoto, however ineffectual his attempts are continuing to be. At this point it's mostly just trying to vent his grumpiness about this instead of bottling it up.]

Besides, you're not supposed to tackle people in tag, you're supposed to tag them.

I don't think that's possible~

[Best thing since turning into a teenager he's done: Eat Izumo's food~!
Oh he would push for the older shinki to eatcause Izumo needs to eat more then anyone so he can heal up]


You're still gonna tell me what happened though right?

[To the bar?]
toremainbehind: ([80])

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-19 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Don't forget you helped out, too.

[And it helps since Goten seems to recognize some of the ingredients this time.

He takes a bite and swallows.

Sighs.]


There was a guy that destroyed the entrance to the bar, enveloping it in flames. He mistook me for Shizuo and forced me into a fight.

Then don't. If you like it, keep it. I'm only saying its kinda big, but it should stay no problem now.

[She ruffles his hair a bit. Partly to test it and also because, gosh, she just has to okay?]

Good! No problem Shaye-chan!

[She stays kneeled down, but he's free to turn around at any time. Hajime runs her fingers through her own hair, its strangle not having her favorite clip there but it's for a good cause]

What are you up to now?

[Soujirou stares up at him, suspicious at first, as if trying to figure out if this god is somehow making fun of him. But after a moment or two, it dawns on him that no, he'd said a nice thing. The god of the temple he's probably meant to live at - his god? - said a nice thing about him.

Suddenly his lower lip shakes dangerously, although for some reason it's not followed by tears. Somehow, he feels he really shouldn't. He's meant to be tough, right?]


I- I'm supposed to be a weapon. The weapon of a god. [It comes out more like a question than anything else, as if seeking assurance that this really is his intended purpose.]

Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to frighten you. [ She pauses, and that smile doesn't falter. ] I should've been more careful. Everything's a little scary here, isn't it?

[ Being a kid, all alone, in a strange place... ]

Would you like to spend some time with me? I'm not busy today, and I'd like some company.
spes_phthisica: (You must)

[personal profile] spes_phthisica 2017-05-19 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
Me too. Sometimes, I just put the money on the counter and walked out - it was easier that way.

[He shrugs, a little too aware how that might look to the boy beside him.]

It got a bit lonely after a while. But I still had fun. You?
