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~

One or two bottles is enough for me to carry.

[Have faith in him, Fubuki.]

If you're sure...

[And that is how Fubuki Tenjoin, age 20, burst into a bar crying about...losing his sister yes that's a good one and generally making a nuisance of himself. ...He's going to get escorted out eventually, so better hurry!]
toremainbehind: ([127])

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-25 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[While Fubuki's doing all of that, Izumo makes quick work of taking at least two liquor bottles.

A quick glance at what they are assures him that they won't at least get too wasted if they finish it. So, once he's procured the items, he'll give Fubuki a signal - hopefully before he gets kicked out - and he heads out before anyone sees them.]

[personal profile] blizzardrock 2017-05-25 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He got kicked out anywayyyyyyyy]

[He saw the signal, though, so he extricates himself from his helpful escorts and finally meets back up with Izumo like twenty minutes later.]

That was... [He had to answer a lot of awkward questions on the spot. What kind of question is "is your sister hot" of course any sibling of his would be hot] ...An experience.

[He might be crying a little for real. Just a little. Internally.]
toremainbehind: ([04] It trembles ceaselessly)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-25 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you okay?

[He gives him a raised eyebrow.]
blizzardrock: (chain link)

[personal profile] blizzardrock 2017-05-25 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm fine. [He's not fine. He will be, though. Give him two seconds...]

I think I picked the wrong thing to use as a distraction. [He mulls on it a second longer, but then focuses on the more important stuff.]

How did it go on your end?
toremainbehind: ([70] The mankind of her)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-25 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Using a sister probably hasn't been your best choice.

[Especially in a place full of drunks.

But he holds up the liquor bottles.]


Well, I got what we went there for.
blizzardrock: (swing of memories)

[personal profile] blizzardrock 2017-05-26 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm beginning to realize...

[But he perks up at the sight of the bottles.] That's mission accomplished, at least.
toremainbehind: ([06] To use our little light)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-26 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles.]

Now just to find a place where we can drink these.
blizzardrock: (swing of memories)

[personal profile] blizzardrock 2017-05-26 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Somewhere with a nice view?

[Now he's making demands. (Someone stop him before he gets carried away—!)]

I'm partial to... [Er...he's certain there was a certain place he gravitates to... Oh, well.] Know any great views?
toremainbehind: ([114])

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-26 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, a place with a great view?

[Izumo thinks it over.

There are a few places, but mostly temples, so--]


Unfortunately, I don't.
blizzardrock: (swing of memories)

[personal profile] blizzardrock 2017-05-26 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Then a ferris wheel.

[...He got carried away.]
toremainbehind: ([167])

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-26 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
....How about a hill somewhere instead?

[Why a ferris wheel of all things.]
blizzardrock: (chain link)

[personal profile] blizzardrock 2017-05-26 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[It comes from the place all his weird urges come from, Izumo. (His ~heart~)]

That sounds good.

[He reaches a hand out to take one of the bottles, so Izumo isn't carrying both of them the whole way.]
toremainbehind: ([111])

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2017-05-26 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He lets Fubuki take the bottle.]

This way then.

[And he'll proceed to lead Fubuki to the hill.]
