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~

[She peers over the side of the pond at Forrest for a long moment, as if considering something. The waters are indeed relaxing and go a long way in easing her pain, though she squints at him in mild suspicion. He definitely is trying to help and is sincere about it...]

Boyfriend? [She hazards a guess. IS THAT WHY HE'S BEING SO NICE? HE WANTS TO JOIN THE HAREM??]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Boy...?

[Forrest blinks. It takes him a moment to register what she's getting at, but then he blushes and shakes his head, waving his hands in front of him.]

A-ah, no... I already have a girlfriend! That's very flattering of you, though...

[mermaiding]

[Oona pouts, clearly very disappointed in this. Not that it's surprising, Forrest is kind and has pretty features and very pretty hair-- of course he's claimed already!

But she asks an additional hopeful question, quite boldly and without shame:] Share?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Mm... I don't think my girlfriend would approve of that.

{Forrest smiles, laughing a little as he kneels down at the edge of the water. He reaches out a hand to gently pat Oona's head.]

But I can promise that I'll be your friend, and that I'll help you whenever you need me.
