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~

[He blinks once in surprise when Yuto asks him that.

Somehow, it almost makes him feel embarrassed, but he nods.]


It is fun.
darkduelist: ((child) the brightest smile)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-20 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuto laughs a little.]

Then we should play something next time too!

[And don't be embarrassed! He likes when other people around him smile!]

Oh, and I'm Yuto by the way!

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-20 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Somehow, his smiles seem infectious enough to get Lavi to smile, too.

He gives a nod. It's...not bad playing with other kids, he guesses.]


I'm Shaye.
darkduelist: ((child) the brightest smile)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-20 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Shaye...

[Yuto repeats it and nods with a smile.

And then they continue their game for a while. Yuto again takes a better look at the images on the board. There's an image of a knight in black armor and that catches his attention for the longest time. Knights are so cool!]
ripplesoflosttime: ([08])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-20 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[He only notices when Yuto seems to stop playing, becoming distracted by something. It makes him confused, looking at the other boy before following his line of vision.

A knight?]


You like knights?
darkduelist: ((child) it'll be fine?)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-20 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh?

[His attention shifts to his new friend.]

Yeah. They're really cool! Because... [He takes a moment to think. Why does he like knights so much?] ...they're strong and they protect people.
ripplesoflosttime: ([05])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-20 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Protect people...

[He repeats it quietly, almost as if its foreign to him.

Why protect people if people could easily backstab you? People were fleeting creatures, but he supposes knights do have to exist for a reason. Lavi looks down at the picture of the knight then back at Yuto.]


...You'd make a good knight.
darkduelist: ((child) worry)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-20 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuto blinks at him.]

Me? Why do you think that?

[He doesn't understand. There's nothing knightly about him!]
ripplesoflosttime: ([01])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-20 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs, looking back at the board.]

You'd just make a good knight, especially if you wanna protect people.
darkduelist: ((child) unsure/embarrassed)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-20 08:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuto is silent for a few moments.]

I want to protect people... but is that enough to become a knight?
ripplesoflosttime: ([12])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-20 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good first step.

[Here, have another smile.]
darkduelist: ((child) oooh)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-21 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... I see. I will do my best then!

[Is he seriously planning to become an actual knight??]
ripplesoflosttime: ([08])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-21 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Lavi nods, amused.

He's not sure if Yuto can become a knight, but might as well try.]
darkduelist: ((child) oooh)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-21 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but let's go back to the game!

[He completely forgot about it!]

...Whose turn was it?
darkduelist: ((child) it'll be fine?)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-21 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Okay...

[And the game continues again.]

...What about you? Do you have something you like?

[He asks all of a sudden.]
ripplesoflosttime: ([06])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-21 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lavi was a little focused on the game, so when Yuto speaks up, he's a little surprise.

He blinks a bit.]


I like books. [He thinks and then adds:] I like learning about history and being able to learn.
darkduelist: ((child) oooh)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-22 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuto nods.]

So you're smart and you like books... you must be really good at school!
ripplesoflosttime: ([08])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-22 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Lavi blinks, smiling slightly as he nods.]

Guess I am. I can't remember going to school, though.
darkduelist: ((child) the brightest smile)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-22 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay... I don't remember either. But you're still amazing!

[He smiles.]
ripplesoflosttime: ([10])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-22 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[.....

..........

He hopes his face isn't red.

Lavi is tempted to hide his face behind his headband before realizing he doesn't have it. So, he just kind of grows quiet, eye looking back down at the game as he tries really hard not to blush.]
darkduelist: ((child) it'll be fine?)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-22 04:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuto peers at him, confused.]

What's wrong?

[Was it something he said? But he really thinks the other is amazing!]
ripplesoflosttime: ([15])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-22 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing's wrong.

[He shakes his head.

He's not used to compliments clearly.]
darkduelist: ((child) it'll be fine?)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2017-05-22 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're sure...

[He looks at him for a moment then he smiles again.]
ripplesoflosttime: ([11])

[personal profile] ripplesoflosttime 2017-05-22 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll manage another smile back at Yuto.

It feels a little weird, but the other kid seems to like it when he smiles.]
