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~

Hibiki!

[ Who is a fast runner. Who doesn't seem to take things like "can people keep up" into her equations. ] Shikyoin Hibiki!!

[ Luckily, Sorey's had the practice in running as fast as he can. He's... a bit of an adventurous child, to say the least. ]

Hibiki! You can run really, really fast!
kurukuruchan: (laugh)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-18 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't it fun? Let's see how fast this can get, Sorey!

[ And she faces forward, the better to laugh carelessly into the wind.

Hopefully this street remains empty. ]

Kind of like a race? Okay! Let's go!

[ Sorey laughs in return. It's not a race, of course - but doing this much could be fun. ]
kurukuruchan: (grin)

[ This is so much fun, far as Hibiki's concerned - it's not every day she can find people who can actually keep up with her when she's running. It's so much more fun this way!

She throws her head back, laughing. ]
A-hahaha! Ahhahhahaaaa!!

[ She almost doesn't want to reach the castle...

And just as she's thinking that, the street disappears and is replaced with the sight of a big grassy field. With grass that....passes right through their ankles instead of brushing them. ]

[ It is a lot of fun! Sorey wants to keep running with her. Mikleo's usually the only one who'll play with him like this, so it's really nice to have another friend.

Though, he starts slowing down when they reach that tall grass, blinking a little. ]


Where are we?
kurukuruchan: (mud)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-18 12:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't matter!

[ Let's keep running! Even if she has no idea what's going on either, it's gotta be safe!

Besides, isn't it better to run in a big open field like this? ]

[ Sorey can't help but blink at her words. ]

I thought we were going to a tea party!
kurukuruchan: (grin)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-19 02:42 pm (UTC)(link)
It's still this way!!

[ The castle can't have vanished too, can it....?

....Can it.....? ]

It's a really long ways away... [ Sorey blinks. ] But, that's okay! It's really pretty here!
kurukuruchan: (hostess)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-20 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Isn't it?!

[ She's gonna try to twirl in a circle, not paying attention to the fact that she's still got Sorey by the hand. ] Whee!!
zests: (pic#9266925)

[personal profile] zests 2017-05-22 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Woooah! [ Sorey follows behind her, stumbling a little - if only because he hadn't expected her to do that so suddenly. ] Hold on!
kurukuruchan: (grin)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-23 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Isn't this fun?!

[ She's laughing. She thinks this is great, but, huh, is there a problem? She'll stop to make sure he's okay.

...Eventually. ]
