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 does nod at the first bit though. Definitely nothing to fear at night but knowing what kind of darkness heaven can be privy to sometimes? ]

Not for nothing but... I can usually feel ayakashi. This kind of darkness feels different though.

[ ....yup she's definitely a kind of horse though. Definitely not an ayakashi. But he's trying not to look like he's staring. It'd be rude... especially if she happens to be a god. So he's just gonna focus on the matter at hand. ]

Do... you think it means something?

[letteropener]

I have no doubt that it does, from both instinct and experience. [A faint shiver crosses over her form, rippling her feathers outwards with a gentle rustle.] But what that is, I do not know.

[hackberrydragon]

Ayakashi feel alive for lack of a better term but this... this is just weird.

[ Really, Eno? The word you're going for is weird? ]

You don't think it's too late though, do you? To get ready for whatever it is?

[letteropener]

It is never too late to prepare in some way, shape, or form. Simply knowing something is coming is of benefit.

Though I could wish we had more of an idea. [She can admit that much, as she glances up to the skies above once more.]
