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~

All kinds of friends!

[ She grins. ] At the resort in Persailles. There's the other kids, and people from school, and the people who are always around who say "Good day, Young Mistress".....

[ A pause to think. ] Next time, the teacher will get invited.

[... Is she actually royalty, jeeze.]

Is she normally not invited?
kurukuruchan: (curious)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-22 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Never thought of it before. [ But now that she has, it is a good idea. Hibiki nods to herself. Yes. She will invite the teacher.

At any rate, here's some fancy doors. ]


The party's in here.
fullcowl: (040)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-23 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
... Should I open the doors for you?

[How heavy are these ones?]
kurukuruchan: (hostess)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-23 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head. ] These are fine!

[ And they are. And they open to -

A tea party!!!

Well, okay, it's a really fancy sitting room with lots of windows and light and overly patterned carpet and little tables. Every table has a teapot and a few plates out on it, as well as a whole bunch of various sweets. There are bunches of red flowers tied off with ribbons and stuck in vases as centerpieces. Chairs and poufs and ottomans and pretty much any kind of thing that one can sit on have been dragged in here, to accommodate this much seating.

Hibiki looks Very Proud Of Herself. ]
Take a seat anywhere you want.
fullcowl: (062)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-23 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[This room is so amazingly extra, but he can't actually be that surprised after meeting the older Hibiki. It had to start somewhere, after all.

He'll take a look around before taking a seat on a chair near the window.]


Did you do all of this on your own?
kurukuruchan: (grin)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-23 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm. For the first time.

[ All the other times, the people who look after her have prepared her parties and her sweets for her. Hibiki found a lot of these desserts in the cabinets, but the current state of the kitchen also belies some experimentation.

Fortunately, the kitchen is not visible here. She helps herself to a seat at her guest's table. ]
The chairs were the tough part. There are a lot of rooms.
fullcowl: (052)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-24 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
You did a good job.

So you brought all of the chairs into this room? That must have taken a while.
kurukuruchan: (reassure)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-24 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She did a good job! She did a good job! She's just gonna play that on loop in her head now. Hooray! ]

But now it can fit loooots of people!

[ Here is a plate of goodies. ] Have a snack.

[ She did a good job! ]
fullcowl: (007)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-24 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I bet you could fit most of the Heavens in here.

[He smiles and takes a cookie from the plate.]
kurukuruchan: (make it)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-25 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think they'd come?

[ HIBIKI NO. ]
fullcowl: (040)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-25 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
... I think some of them are a bit busy, but there's nothing wrong with asking them.
kurukuruchan: (grin)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-25 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
That's what'll happen, then.

[ But first, she is going to have this cookie.

It is a good cookie. ]
fullcowl: (053)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-25 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
[It is indeed delicious.]

These are great.
kurukuruchan: (hostess)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-25 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Yes, please tell her more about how you enjoy this thing she set up that was her idea. It brings her a great deal of happiness. ]

These were in the kitchen. [ Point.

Another point. ]
These are from a book. They were fun.

[ Munch, munch. ]
fullcowl: (053)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-25 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
So you baked them yourself? You did a great job.
kurukuruchan: (grin)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-25 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!!

[ She slurps her tea when she drinks from it, though, oops. ]
fullcowl: (052)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-25 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[Ah, it's nice to know she used to be a normal kid in some ways.]

Do you want help making invitations?
kurukuruchan: (mud)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-25 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! [ Slurp slurp to drain this cup. It returns safely to the table, and then she's pushing herself down out of her chair. ] Don't go anywhere.

[ She will bring you her supplies! ]
fullcowl: (040)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-25 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good news, he's not going anywhere.

He does take the time to text Shouto where he is and how to get to him.]
kurukuruchan: (hostess)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-26 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ MORE PEOPLE FOR THE PARTY

here she comes with invitations and doilies and markers and pens and

are those real itty-bitty jewels ]


Do you know how to do this? It's real easy. And fun.
fullcowl: (040)

[personal profile] fullcowl 2017-05-26 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Please. Please don't be actual jewels...]

I've written a few invitations before. But maybe you should tell me how you want yours to look?
kurukuruchan: (reassure)

[personal profile] kurukuruchan 2017-05-26 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ one never knows

Hibiki sits back down and clears a space so she can work on one too, though she's keeping her plate of goodies in easy reach. ]
Anyway you want. Put all the things you like on them.
