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~

Thank you.

Uh-huh. [It's his recently remodelled temple, but as a kid he doesn't recognize it at all.]

My mom tucked me in bed last night and then I woke up in the hotel.

[Well, the good news is that he does have memories of before he arrived here, meaning he was not a shinki and had not died. That would make him a new god, wouldn't it? But if that's the case, shouldn't he have arrived at the meeting hall? That building didn't exactly look "hotel" like.]

[Wait... a hotel? Naoto remembers her visit to Izuku's temple to discuss the recent murders investigations. Hadn't his temple kind of looked like-- Naoto suddenly puts the pieces together. The boy's hair really should have been her first clue, and she almost facepalms at how obvious it was. All this age mischief was clearly messing with her. Turning her attention back to the boy, she smiles again, friendly and encouraging, but also there's a subtle embarrassed-like quality to it.]


That's- that's good that you can remember.

Um, my name is Naoto. What's yours?

[Izuku's temple looked a lot more like an appartment. But then it got wrecked by Hibari and the thing that replaced it... was the UA dorm, which definitely does have a certain hotel feel about it. Certainly more high class than a kid his age is used to.]

I'm Izuku. It's nice to meet you, Miss Naoto.

[And that confirms it. This was, in fact, a younger Izuku she was conversing with. Just like Kanji and Souji, he'd been turned into a child. And also like Kanji, he doesn't seem to remember or notice that this is out of sorts. Why then had Souji then managed to retain his memories? This whole situation was just too confusing.]

Izuku-kun, it's... nice to meet you as well.

[No point in confusing the small boy. Best to just play along for now.]

Would you like me to help you find your way back to the, um... hotel?

[If it's about time nonsense, Izuku is not the right person to ask. Especially not when he's tiny and lost.]

Really? You're not busy or anything?

[Naoto shakes her head, her smile growing more warm and comforting.]

It's alright. I'm not busy at all.

[There was a good chance Izuku's shinki was looking for him. Perhaps they'd have a better idea about what to do with him. Her heart aches for him that she can't quite explain everything that's currently happening.]

[She offers him her hand to take.]


Do you mind showing me the way?

[Souji-san had been her guide last time. Although she feels she could probably find the way back to Izuku's shrine eventually, it would likely just be easier to let him lead.]

[He takes her hand, reaching a bit up to grab at it.]

It's... this way, I think?

[He was a little too panicked to properly absorb everything that was happening at the time.]

It had a moat around it like those big, fancy castles do.
