Open ♔ My pri may be pri, but it’s the pri in “prince”, pri!
Who: Hibiki and you, pri
When: July 27, pri
Where: Harajuku, pri
What: An unusual ayakashi is preying upon Japan’s cutest citizens, pri.
Warnings: Pri-ating the dead horse that is Hibiki's phobia, pri. (Live horse also included. Pri.)
[ In an area of town as style-conscious as Harajuku, various fads come and go. The latest craze, however, seems to be completely involuntary: anyone visiting these two particular blocks of the area will find themselves compelled to add a cutesy suffix or “sentence ender” to the ends of whatever they say. What’s worse, the effect doesn’t seem to wear off for quite some time after leaving, and the longer people use their sentence enders, the fonder they grow of them.
This is causing no end of additional discord to erupt as friends and loved ones slowly cannot stand being around their affected acquaintances anymore.
Particularly adept or powerful gods and shinki may notice an ayakashi-like smoke issuing from people’s mouths as they use their sentence enders. The source is somewhere in town, hiding out. Lurking. Enjoying inflicting itself upon its unsuspecting victims, and growing stronger from ingesting said smoke. Why, it's even affecting any gods and shinki who wander into its territory...
Into this mess, preoccupied by dreams of revolution, rides one Shikyoin Hibiki on a literal white horse. (Don’t ask.) If she’s going to attract PriPara to the Near Shore, she imagines it’ll be touching down where Parajuku should be, as it’s the closest PriPara location to her shrine. Best scope out the area to be sure there’s nothing of use there right now….
But what is this chill in the midsummer air, and this deep-rooted sense of terror-stricken foreboding? ]

...What-- what is this?
[ He mused flinching at the feeling. He didn't like it at all and Hibiki did looks worst than he did. He wondered what exactly was going on that was causing this to happen. ]
no subject
[ wait
did she just
Hibiki's jaw drops open. ]
no subject
[ Mikleo just stared at her just as confused. What did she just say? Was that suppose to be a pun? ]
no subject
[ Unfortunately, Mikleo won't get a helpful answer. Hibiki has slapped both hands over her mouth and she looks like she just saw a ghost.
This is the face of someone whose worst nightmares have just come true. ]
no subject
[ Okay what the heck is even going on anymore? Why was she shouting at him and then stopping.
....He just stared at her really confused and waiting to see what was going to happen next while keeping his guard up. ]
no subject
Hibiki looks right.
Everywhere she looks - more to the point, everywhere she listens - everyone is suffering the same affliction.
Hibiki goes very, very pale.
Then, spurring on her horse, she attempts to make a sudden run for it. She'll be passing close enough by Mikleo that if he wanted to try and stop her, he could, but she can't stand being here any longer. ]
no subject
He can never understand why she had such over dramatic reactions to everything and what's worse is whatever she was doing, it was starting to maybe rub off on him.
She also looked really pale and all he could do was give her an incredulous look following concern. ]
Wait where are you going?!
no subject
THIS AREA IS INFECTED WITH SENTENCE ENDERS, PRI!
[ Yeah, she's panicking. Giddyup! ]
I'LL LOSE THE ABILITY TO FUNCTION, PRI.....
no subject
[ Thankfully Mikleo has some self control to not repeat it completely at the end of the sentence-- yet. ]
Because of sentence enders???!
no subject
[ Hibiki has to clap her hands over her ears. This makes controlling a horse awkward. It begins to fuss. ]
no subject
[ Okay Hibiki stop yelling at him for repeating it. He doesn't get why it's traumatizing. ]
...Right....Can you maybe get off that horse before you hurt yourself or it......?
no subject
OUT OF MY WAY, PRI!!
[ Don't make her gallop past you in a huff. ]
no subject
[ Now he really is just weirded out by her but clearly he wanted to help her out and figure out why she keeps saying really odd words. ]
...
[ She can try. ]
Not until you tell me what's wrong.
no subject
[ She tries to steer the horse around Mikleo, but it's too late. A group of businessmen, businessmen!, walk past, happily "pon" and "byu" and "kya"-ing away, and Hibiki's eyes roll up in her sockets. She can feel all the blood rushing to her head....
And she faints.
Off the horse. ]
no subject
...
And she fell off the horse, and look at who had to catch her from falling with panic on his face!
This water seraph here! ]
H-Hibiki?!!!!
no subject
Her head lolls to one side, and she groans. A passing child informs his mother he wants "some candy, sho!" and Hibiki shivers, then goes limp in Mikleo's hold.
Bit by bit, her breathing becomes more labored... ]
no subject
Luckily for her he was stronger than he looked. ]
Hibiki! Hey you can't pass out here!
[ He called to her with his rows knit together. Of course, there's nothing he really could do in the moment other then to get her off the ground by lifting her up. He looked around for a clinic to take her to. ]
no subject
[ There's nothing in this area. And, her skin grows clammier every time another person in their vicinity ends their sentences strangely.
Her...her head.....her heart.... ]
no subject
It seemed like whatever these 'enders' are, they affected her significantly, so he decided to carry her bridal style to a safer location that might probably have less people who would shout those enders that he was starting to catch up on. ]
no subject
Once they've gone a few blocks from the worst of it, her breathing quiets down and her expression relaxes. It seems he was on the right track. ]
no subject
Thankfully he was able to take a breath as well when she looked a lot better than she did earlier. He sets her down on the bench for a moment. ]
no subject
Once Hibiki's breathing has slowed to a regular rate, her eyelashes flutter. She looks like she's debating rejoining the universe. ]
no subject
Hibiki?
[ He tapped her gently for a moment before putting a hand to her forehead to make sure she wasn't burning up. ]
no subject
[ Hibiki wakes up with a gasp and a start. Her eyes aren't focusing on anything right now, but they'll find Mikleo's face soon enough, and start trying to take everything in.
A mirror...? ]
no subject
[ Mikleo almost falls back at her scream. What the heck is wrong with her!? He didn't do anything. ]
Hey--- calm down!
[ He grasped her shoulders firmly. ]
