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~

[A frown.]

If there's too many, Quattordici will bite them.

[And other things might happen, but he's not going to give it all away that easily.]

Sentence enders...?

[ What... what is this madness...

But she does notice the ID, finally releasing the child in order to pick it up. It only takes a moment's glance for her to put two and two together. ]


...Hibiki?

[ ...well that answers her question about things being weird. ]

[Today Hajime is looking at Threads more then ever. She's trying to find all her friends and squish them with hugs, love and fill them with sugar. But it's because shes actually searching through the array of various life threads that one in particular stands out to her.

She...knows this one. Knows it well. It may be a little different in texture or color, but she knows it.

Tsuzuki...? Maybe?

Putting her plans aside, she decides to follow it to the source----who happens to be a fun-size version of her firend. Staring at the little boy, catching those bright violet eyes..there's almost no mistaking it.]


Tsuzuki....-chan?

[What is this child doing?]

Hey, hey, do you want some help?

How come?

[But fine. He'll let it go, but only because of the second floor. That's sorta like meeting in the middle anyway.]

Yeah. Sometimes I think Aymeric and Grandpa Leo want to hang out by themselves. I don't think they have sleep overs yet but they do hang out a lot.

[That aside, he's so ready for this]

I'll help you build it back up faster. With you, me and Shizuo I bet it'll be done in no time. Maybe we can get Yata and Mikoto to help too.

[That activeness to his own passivity is one of the reasons why he thinks he likes Quattordici so much, wrapping his fingers around his hand and unsteadily pulling himself up.]

[Even if the're both scared.... It feels better when Quattordici is with him.]


No. [Another hiccup.] I didn't get hurt. You're okay too, right...?

[Without thinking about it, he curls in closer to him, cheeks still sticky and wet.]

That's alright, then. [Small Shun is confident he can birdsit for that long, he was just worried it was going to be something way longer, and then he'd have to stay here for all that time too.

As Fubuki heads off to check the rest of the temple, Shun very carefully goes to sit on one of the big couches in the temple lounge, making sure not to jostle the plush bird too much. By the time Fubuki gets back, he'll be kicking his legs a bit, but it's not enough to move Pipey.]


Are you done checking the thing?

I'd thought to spare you the details but if you'd rather get a more concrete answer... a friend of mine used to have raccoons at his temple. When he disappeared, I found this one had shown up where I had been staying at the time.

[ She'd even named the little rodent after him. But there's a hum of thought though. ]

I doubt anyone was prepared for whatever had happened here. Do you remember anything at all though about why you're here?

[ Silver hair, check. Green eyes, check. Ps where there shouldn't be Ps, check.

Dramatic streak...

"AREN'T YUZU INTERESTED IN FRIENDSHIPEACHES, MISS ROLLY ROLLS? I'M MIKAN A REAL EFFORT AND ENJOYING THIS GRAPE GAME OF TAGUAVA--" ]


UWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[ ...check and mate.

Hibiki will take advantage of her captor's distraction to try and break free, the better to keep making a run for it. She has to get away!! ]

[No help just yet, Goten can't help but stare at the scene in front of him before he has to raise a hand to muffle his own laughter. Poor Bandou, he feels your pain, he really does and that's even more reason not to really help out. Everyone turning into little kids has been crazy. Goten is lucky he got older instead of younger because otherwise he'd probably be in diapers]

Man, you're having about the same amount of luck as I was.

You don't know?!

[How could this girl know so much about idols and not know she has the same name as Hibiki-sama?!]

She's a super cool idol, and she's been in movies and everything! Look...!

[Who trusts a five-year-old with a phone that can access video on the network? Maria, apparently, according to Natsuru's memories. And here she's holding out the phone so Hibiki can see the video of her older self performing a totally cool solo song.]

Isn't she amazing~?

[If Natsuru's crush was embarrassing before, it's even more ridiculous now that it's blatantly obvious puppy love. Well, if it were possible to get more blatantly obvious, that is.]

[Hajime blinks seeing no one there and then looks down and just stares]

. . . . ..

[OHMY! SORA IS SO CUTE THAT HES GLOWING IN ALL THE CUTE! Hajime can't help by stare back at him, mouth hanging agape as her cheeks quickly light up. This sweet adorable child is pulling on her hand. Ahh!]

SORA!

[ UWAHHHHHHHHHHHH Hajime practically scoops him up, hugging him tight]

You too? Ahhh, this is amazing! You're...you're so cute!

[Pictures! She's going to have to take pictures~!]

[ A different kid might point out the person on the screen doesn't look much like a "she", but Hibiki has never cared much about that stuff anyway. She also has no room to throw stones at Natsuru, because the longer she watches, the more her own eyes shine. Her cheeks color with excitement. She's - she's never seen a performance like this before, and she's seen a lot of PriPara TV. This person -

This person makes her heart ache, she's so incredible. It feels like she could watch this forever.

Hibiki makes a grab to try to hold the phone herself so she can get closer, though she'll keep it so that both she and her friend can still see the screen. ]
She is, she is!!

[ Natsuru's giddiness is met with equal fervor. ] She's the most beautiful thing ever!!

[ Can they watch it again? She wants to watch it again. Which of these buttons helps them watch it again. ]

[Why would she ever want to escape? Upon seeing Hajime, she smiles as brightly as a smile can be, her eyes practically sparkling.]

Hajime-neechan!!!

[She giggles happily, rocking back and forth on her feet from the excitement bubbling over. She loves hanging out with big sis Hajime.]

'Me too' what?

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2017-05-19 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a god. And you?

[Well... at least that's something. Gonou weighs the possibility that he's not 'Hakkai' after all, if the man's gone missing... but then, if he disappeared just before the first moment Gonou remembers, it's just more evidence supporting the connection. It's possible that whatever happened to him took a few days.

There's also no denying the fact that it's his handwriting and his recognizable planning style all over the paperwork at the school.]

Could you take Quattordici out to get lunch or explore while we're holding classes, then?

[They have animal crackers, it's great]

Um -- I mean -- I don't...

Who are you? I don't even know your name!

[How did he get to be a liar for maybe leaving?! He didn't think it was going to be his job to take care of her forever! She just ran into him!]

[Asato wobbles, waving his arms wildly for a moment, before he sits back up on the branch and locks his ankles together under it to make sure he doesn't fall. He peers down at the older girl.]

Um, I can get it! Thanks, miss.

[He probably can't, but he's going to stretch out a hand for the orange again. It's fine! He's independent and big and stuff!

And he's hungry, besides.]

[Back in time? Sora glances out the window as he sees the sun starting to rise. It makes the sky full of pinks and reds.

He squeezes the hand in his back.]
But this is were it all started, I don't think that's something to be scared of. Maybe just enjoy it.

[He leans forward to kiss the other.]

Shinki. Aymeric is my god but he got turned into a kid.

[He's not even considering Gonou was affected by that pulse considering he's new. But that may be more because Goten only knows of Nanako and himself actually getting older. There's Sharak too but she was already old so that doesn't count. Oh! Right! Gonou is new so he should probably explain that.]

Something happened that changed everyone's ages, or at least, almost everyone. A lot of the adults here got turned small. It's crazy...

[Another reason Goten is out here on his own. To get away from his child-version friends.]

But, uh, hopefully everything gets turned back to normal or we can figure a way how to. It'll probably be easier for you to adjust then too, Ganou.
reformedsinner: (heavy sigh)

You can't live there without leaving forever.

Cat food. Which... you shouldn't eat. Because it's for cats.

[He's seen Ken eat some weird stuff; he doesn't trust this younger version not to do the same. Cat food's pretty tame but what if this is where it all begins?!]

It's in the kitchen.

[He points in that general direction, and Ironclaw/Pookie perks her head up. The kitchen means FOOD.]

[He would never say as much, but when Actual Shun didn't turn up, he was halfway expecting to walk in to be met with the usual glare. He was halfway convinced he was sleepwalking, actually...]

...Yeah. Didn't find who you were looking for, either. Sorry. [It must have been someone Shun knew, but Fubuki has always felt like he shouldn't ask people things about their pasts too often, because, as a shinki, that's not a good habit to get into. And, since it's Shun, it's probably cheating to ask the little version things that Shun hasn't already told him.]

[...No but seriously, how did this happen]

Can you sit tight for another minute or...ten...? [He has to feed the vultures.]
alchemists: (told you to train instead of this)

[personal profile] alchemists 2017-05-19 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Doesn't everyone have at least one fall in their life?
reformedsinner: (heavy sigh)

[personal profile] reformedsinner 2017-05-19 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes... there certainly are a lot of children around, aren't there? I hope no one gets hurt before they're back to normal.

[He glances curiously at Goten.]

You said you were working on your control with Hakkai before all this happened. Are you normally this age, or did you change, too?
