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~

Again, Sicily?

[ He sighs again. ]

Seems he ain't willin' to let ya leave from some reason... By the by, son, you have any weird feelin' too?

[ There's definitely something sort of similar as to what he feels from Alba coming from this boy. ]

[monkeyblue]

....what do you mean?

[That's a "yes, but how do you know?"]

[tenderfooted]

I’ve been havin’ it a lil’ while, I got some idea but I ain’t really sure.

[ How he knows is because he has been feeling weird too. ]

[monkeyblue]

This whole place is weird. I don't think anything of weird feelings here.

[tenderfooted]

It is, yeah. But that ain't really...Um, how t' say.. [ He's just going to be blunt, then. ] You feel someways like Alba does. She's my shinki.

[ Maybe that's why the horse doesn't want the lad to go. ]

[monkeyblue]

Except I'm just a shinki, not yours. Unless you're saying you think I'm supposed to be your shinki?

[tenderfooted]

I ain't got a clue, I was told'a take care'a her round ten days ago, I ain't really got much knowledge on that sort of thing.

[monkeyblue]

Neither do I. My god vanished before we ever met.

[This is going wonderfully]

[tenderfooted]

[ The question is, how do you even know for sure if someone has been assigned to you if you’re not actually told about it? ]

That don’t sound much fun or useful, to never even met the stranger.

[monkeyblue]

Tch.

[....eh, might as well.]

Name me. I have no god, you say I feel like your shinki, I see no reason not to do it.

[tenderfooted]

Yeah, that's true. But you sure? Even iffen it feels that way I want it to be your choice.
