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~

[ Nimbuses would be awesome too, but flying with chi is what's up today. Goku grabs at the offered hand without a moment of hesitation. ]

Can we go over there? [ He points to the rooftop of a nearby building. ]

[Don't worry, you'll meet Nimbus soon enough. The question will be if Goku can ride it or not.

Goten glances over in the direction Goku points. That's easy enough.]


Yeah, no problem!

[His smile grows as he slowly lifts off the ground, pulling Goku up with him. He takes it slow as they go higher and higher before he floats in the direction of the roof. There's something about this kid that is really heartening. Since they're just going to the rooftop, he doesn't bother tossing Goku on his back, its a quick and short flight.

Before he knows it, Goten places Goku down on the roof top, landing as well.]


Ta-da. Easy. If you're not scared of heights I've gone above the clouds before. I donno if Nimbus is around but it's fun to race too.

[ Whoooooa! Suddenly he's rising up, higher and higher like he's flying (well he IS flying) like a bird except without wings or anything. It feels so exciting he doesn't even think to be scared as the ground goes away, further and further until blip! It's over and they're standing on the roof that was way over there just a second ago. ]

Cool!! [ Does this guy have more flying friends?? ]

Who's Nimbus?

A friend. Actually, let me show you. If Nimbus like you, you might be able to fly around with me.

[He smiles at Goku and turns his head, calling up towards the sky]

Hey Nimbus! C'mon down! I got someone that wants to meet you!

[It takes a few seconds but soon a yellow cloud comes into view, streaking across the sky before speeding down towards the two of them. It circles around them once before screeching to a halt in front of Goten.]

This. Is Nimbus.

[Goten grins at Goku, patting the yellow fluff]

A cloud!!

[ This guy can fly and has a cloud-friend. Awesome!! Goku walks up to it, beaming. He waves at it with excitement. ]

Hi Nimbus! I'm Goku!

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-23 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep.Nimbus is a bit moody with who gets to ride but, wanna try?

[He looks to Goku with a smile. Goten actually doesn't know the requirements of the yellow cloud, just that some people can sit on it and other people fall through.]
solaris9: (tiny: cute)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-26 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh boy, would he ever! Goku nods eagerly and then examines the cloud carefully. Should he climb on it or jump? Climb, yes. That seems easier ... but can he grab onto it or will it just slip through his fingers? Only one way to find out. He reaches for it and tries to climb on board, like it's a pony or something. ]

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-26 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Goten laughs a bit and leans down to gently grab onto the back of Goku's shirt and hoist him up on the cloud. The fact he was able to even start climbing onto it is enough of a sign to show he can sit on it. So once he's on it, Goten grins wholeheartedly.]

I guess Nimbus likes you too!

[Goten floats off the roof top, patting the cloud as it follows after him slowly.]

What do you think, Goku?

[The boy introduced himself to Nimbus after all, thats a hard name to miss]
solaris9: (tiny: :3)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-26 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yoink. Goku is lifted up like a sack of potatoes and plopped onto the cloud. He'd normally protest with being hauled about, but he's much too excited about Nimbus and flying people to care so much. He giggles as the cloud follows after the flying man. ]

This is so cool! I'd ride on him all day. How'd you meet him? Uh... what's your name?

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-26 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the funny thing. Nimbus was just caught in in my ceiling fan one day and we've sorta been friends ever since.

[Back before his first god disappeared. Oh Archie, hopefully he was doing well]

Huh? I didn't tell you?

[Whoops. Still Goten smiles, floating next to Goku and the cloud]

I'm Goten. Nice to meet you, Goku.
solaris9: (tiny: like the sun)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-29 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Whoa, caught in the ceiling fan! What a funny way to meet a friend. (Somehow, he doesn't find it strange at all to be best friends with a cloud, but anyway...)

His face lights up. ]


Oooh! Your name is like mine! Kinda. Hehe.

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-29 11:57 am (UTC)(link)
I guess it is, huh? Goten, Goku. 'Go.' I know my full name is Son Goten. Is there more to your name or is it just Goku?

[He gives a small shrug of his shoulders again, grinning a bit more though. Goku is a good kid.]

Think you got a feel for Nimbus? Wanna try a little speed?
solaris9: (tiny: :3)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-31 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
My name is Son too! Son Goku! [ Wow, this is very cool! Their names are like, almost exactly the same.

That must mean they have to be friends, because of course they have to be. Even though Goku was already thinking this, even before he knew his name.

He nods enthusiastically when Goten asks him to speed up. ]

[personal profile] songoten 2017-05-31 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, really? Son Goku... [That's really strange! Son Goku and Son Goten. Their names are way to similar. Maybe they're related somehow? That's food for thought---actually food would be a good idea here soon]

Alright. Hold on, Goku!

[He pats the cloud and takes off. Nimbus floats there for a second before taking off after Goten at high speed! Not fast enough to hurt the kid, or he hopes not at least but certainly faster then anything Goku has ever ridden before, at least Goten assumes so. When Goten goes higher, Nimbus follows and keeps up with the half saiyan. He flips around on his back, grinning at the boy.]
solaris9: (tiny: like the sun)

[personal profile] solaris9 2017-05-31 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ It doesn't occur to Goku they might be related. At least, not this Goku. After all, he's only got a day's worth of memories, and Goten is only maybe the 10th person he's ever met in his life.

Goten tells him to hang on, so he does, taking a fistful of cloud in his hands so he won't fall off as they zip through the sky with awesome speed. ]


Whooooooa!!!! Hahahahaha!

[ Flying is definitely the coolest thing he's done in his life so far. Which isn't much yet, but that's okay. This is a good place to start off his memories. ]

We're so high up!!
