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 for not being a total asshole and letting him drown, Mikoto. Bandou will appreciate that once he starts to breath again and regains consciousness.

That's not quite yet though. Even as he's finally pulled back above the surface of the water. Funny how they switched positions in this scenario so quickly. ]

[ Funny isn't the word he'd use. The guy's not moving and he's not sure he's even breathing. Leaving his bike to sink beneath the waves, Mikoto grabs him and swims them both to shore. The last time he didn't watch his strength he put a guy in the hospital. He hated the feeling that nagged at him after. The same feeling that now sat heavy in his gut. Guilt.

Once his feet hit the sandy bottom, he rises from the water and drags Bandou behind him. The moment they clear the majority of the waves, he drops him on the beach and proceeds to shake him awake. ]


Wake up.

[ Sorry King, shaking him isn't going to work too well when he's inhaled a ton of water. So, Bandou remains limp in Mikoto's arms. ]

[ Dammit Bandou! Mikoto's going to kill you when this is over, but for the moment, there's real fear in the pit of his stomach which has him starting CPR. You're lucky Totsuka forced him to go to that class with him because right now there's two hands just beneath your heart slamming down hard like they taught him. He does 30 reps before letting go to tilt his head back as he pinches his nose and delivers three quick breaths. He continues the chest compressions followed by mouth to mouth while that ball of fear naws at his conscience. ]

[ Mikoto just might kill him with the force of those chest compressions! That or break his ribs all over again. Either way, he doesn't have to go too long before Bandou suddenly sputters and coughs, the water evacuating his body. He takes in a huge breath, which only cause him to cough even more. ]

[ If you're doing it right, you will be breaking some ribs - at least that's what they told him in the class, which is why he doesn't hold back and goes at it at full strength. So, when the guy suddenly starts sputtering out water he knows he did it right.

Without prompting, Mikoto is bringing Bandou up so he can spit out the water better and breath a little more easily. ]

[ Sitting up lets Bandou know that, yep he's got broken ribs again. So he's clutching an arm over his midsection as the last of the water comes up. It takes a few more shaky, gasping breaths before his breathing steadies and he opens up his eyes again. ]

th-thanks...

[ For reviving him. Definitely not for the punch or the broken ribs. ]

But why the hell did you punch me?
lionhearrt: (Teen: Annoyed)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-05-20 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ If he's talking then he's okay. ]

You grabbed me.

[ Sorry but most of his human interaction at this age is through violence. So someone so close grabbing him out of the blue... It's not his fault he misinterpreted it. That's what you get for getting involved. It's not like he was going to drown. ]

I was trying to pull you out of the water! I wasn't going to let you drown!

[ The shouting doesn't help his predicament much and he quickly lays back down to prevent any further injuries. ]
lionhearrt: (Teen: Annoyed)

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-05-21 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't need your help.

[ And he certainly didn't ask for it, besides- ]

What's it to you.

[ It's not like you would have gotten in trouble. It's clear that he didn't stop so anything that happens to him is his fault, his mess to deal with. ]
chickshades: (156)

[personal profile] chickshades 2017-05-23 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ He closes his eyes, trying not to focus on the pain. ]

You looked like my friend, Mikoto.

[personal profile] lionhearrt 2017-05-24 01:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ His frown deepens. ]

How'd you know my name?

[personal profile] chickshades 2017-05-24 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
...Cause we're friends.

[ Like he just said. ]

I'm guessing you got de-aged. It's been happening to-- ow... --a lot of people.

[ His frown deepens at the exclamation of pain and Mikoto sets a hand on him, white flames suddenly flickering to life where he'd hit him. ]

[personal profile] chickshades 2017-06-02 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That flash of white fire will never not be intimidating, even if Bandou's well aware that it can heal, rather than hurt. So he still winces slightly as Mikoto's hand, and those flames, make contact with his chest. But, his expression softens when the sharp pains slowly fade away into nothing. ]

...thanks. Again.
