018 | Season Spirits
Who: Everyone!
What: Season spirits and spooky things
When: IC August 1-15
Where: The Near Shore and Far Shore
Summary: It's the time for spirits to get a bit more 'lively'.
August is a spiritual season in Japan with many people preparing for the Obon festival but many others get into the spirit in another way. All across Japan, people have begun to share their favorite summer ghost stories. Movie theaters advertise the hottest horror flick of the season, teenagers challenge each other to do trials of courage, haunted houses begin to pop up, and it feels like you can't change the channel without switching to some ghost hunting urban legend special. All of this talk about spirits comes at a cost, though.
July comes and passes easily enough but it's almost as if as soon as August begins, so do the incidents. There's an increase in spiritual activity and shenanigans on both shores. Some of them are harmless spooks but others are much more sinister. Arm yourselves with all of the ofuda and omamori you can find and get out there and restore peace!
Possessed Possessions
Inhabitants of the Far Shore may awaken to find their sheets trying to strangle them and shoes stomping on the floor around them. Others may go about their day and find out their teapots suddenly only serve lukewarm tea or their weapons are trying to take swings at them. They're just playful spirits that will abandon their hosts if you shove any ofuda/omamori at them or yell loudly enough. They aren't malicious spirits... they were only just trying to have some fun.
Spirited Festivals
There's a festival every weekend and some of them have set up haunted houses for patrons to visit. You have your standard haunted house thrills... costume make up, jump scares, special effects smoke, the usual! But it looks like some real ghosts have made themselves at home here. Visitors are going in and emerging hours later absolutely traumatized. It looks like once you enter, the real spirits walk you around in circles and give you real scares. There are some spirits here just to have fun thrills and these are spirits that can be chased away with regular ofuda. But it looks like the more violent ones are actually ayakashi out for vengeance. Be careful in there!
Cursed Charms
There sure are some weird trends out there, huh? The latest one is buying cursed trinkets off the internet and passing them off as gifts to unsuspecting victims whether it be to prank a friend or get revenge on an enemy. Cursed mirrors, dolls, fake ofuda, VHS tapes, and so on are being passed around the Near Shore and spreading all sorts of curses.
Haunting Hour
There are reports of violent attacks at night-- people being pulled into alleys and attacked, school children being chased by slashers while walking home from school, homes being broken into-- and all of it is done without a single clue left behind to explain who did it. People are warned to be careful at night and as the sun begins to set, something happens. The hour between sunset and dark is supposed to be the scariest hour them all. At this time, the shadows are suspiciously bigger and darker and you constantly see things just out of the corner of your eye. Suddenly, the wind blows cold and there's a rotten smell in the air like blood. It's Oumagatoki, the hour evil spirits meet. Small time ayakashi and spirits on the verge of becoming ayakashi spill into the streets and begin to terrorize others. Protect the people of the Near Shore and watch your own backs.*
* These are just generic ayakashi! Nothing special, nothing specific. Feel free to make up and NPC your own two-bit ayakashi.
THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
In the evening, everyone will receive a set of coordinates and a message from an Anonymous sender,

Cursed Charms
- Bad luck. As long as you're in possession of the cursed item, you'll be followed by bad luck to varying degrees depending on the quality of the charm.
- Fear. Holding onto this charm results in intense, crippling fear. The fear can manifest as an intense paranoia at all times or being frozen with fear in the face of danger. Some say you can even die of fright...
- Sickness. This charm is pretty straightforward. Having this charm just makes you feel incredibly under the weather and your health will worsen the longer you have the charm.
- Evil. Holding onto this charm results in you being followed attracting evil instead of warding it. Suddenly, you feel as though you are always being followed, as if something is stalking you and clearly out to get you. You begin to run into smaller ayakashi at first but they keep growing in strength and number until you can't fight anymore.
- Bad romance. Someone's meddled with a romance charm so it ends relationships instead of making them! People stuck with this charm are suddenly hyper aware of the faults of others. Everything gets on your nerves and you can't stand being around that person because they're just that annoying. It doesn't just work on couples! It also works on friends and relatives too.
- Bears? An oddly specific curse. It looks like someone has taken a protection from bears charm and made it so now you attract bears where ever you go. Some of them are nice but others...

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
I want to talk about theEveryone receives it and there is no way to track where the message came from. If you follow the directions, you'll arrive at a small temple on the outskirts of a city. A sacred fire is lit on the grounds for people to dispose of any cursed or old charms they may have collected. Hang around a bit and it'll become obvious that no one knows who has gathered all of you here tonight. The only ones around are gods and shinki. It doesn't look like any evil spirits are around so other than being invited to the middle of no where at night... there's nothing to worry about. If you wait around, nothing will happen. So while you're here, you might as well discuss the strange happenings! Or tell ghost stories around the fire.

no subject
[Her hand tilts and she tries to get a good look at him]
Awful even. Are you love sick?
[She holds up two fingers and wiggles them]
How many do you see?
no subject
[Lavi, no. That's two.
But his eye is closing as he feels a wave of dizziness hit him.]
no subject
[She skips over and grabs his arm, lifting it up she ducks under it and puts it around her shoulder]
A one-way trip to Temple o' Neith! ASAP!
no subject
Not sure if that's a good idea. Who knows if this'll spread.
no subject
If it does then you gotta take care of me, simple as that. Just don't sneeze on me. Thats gross.
[And with that she'll more or less proceed to take him home.]
no subject
[But he'll be good and not put up a fight for once.]
no subject
[Hajime pauses as she suddenly remembers something. Something time saving!]
I always forget about! Hold on Lavi, we're going to test your stomach!
[And with that she teleports with him--to the front door of Neith's temple.]
no subject
When they arrive in front of the temple, he kind of dry heaves, doubling over a bit. Fortunately, nothing really comes out, even though Lavi feels like he's just gone through a rollercoaster.
He hates being sick.]
no subject
Ah, bad idea? Well, you're tough Lavi. I mean, I could teleport back and we could walk here instead.
[She's teasing, taking him inside the temple. It's once they're in the living room that she pauses on what she wants to do. HMMMM]
I guess I can set you up in my room. I would borrow Yuto's bed while he's out but I dont want you to get him sick.
no subject
You don't happen to have any empty rooms? I don't mind crashing there or even on a couch for a while.
[Actually, no. Scratch that idea. He doesn't want Yuto to see him sick, period.]
no subject
[She's still making progress on decorating the whole temple okay. It's hard when she has more then ten rooms. Honestly, this place felt too big sometimes. She drags him off to her room, kicking the door open with her foot. It's a colorful place. She's been trying to make it close in appearance to her room back home.]
I think I have some meds around here somewhere too. I'll make you some tea...Lavi, how did you get so sick?
[Shes taking him over to the pillow and plush covered hammick-bed]
no subject
He makes a soft sound.]
Someone stuck a cassette tape on me and after a few hours, I started to feel sick.
[....Wait...]
no subject
There maybe an acutal moment when shes standing there, looking at at him debating that last part but she'd rather not make Lavi feel weird. He's already sick. So the pants and shirt are staying for now. If only Yuto was here to help her with that part.
But she does kneel down and work on his boots next, humming to herself all the while.]
I didn't think Cassette tapes could do that. Maybe it'll wear off. Do you still have the tape?
no subject
Lavi rubs his head, trying to think through the thick fog that's clouding his mind. Hearing her question, he shakes his head a bit.]
No. Tossed it to the side after Hibiki tried to help me.
[And that didn't work out so well.]
no subject
The point is to get him comfortable and shes even being good by not going for the eye patch this time. With the boots off and set off the side, she gets up and moves back over to him]
One, two....and up we go.
[She pulls him up carefully before taking him over to the bed and helping him in. For a hammock style bed it's pretty cozy! Lots of pillows and other soft things. Though with all the pillows and plushes it probably looks more like Lavi is being held prisoner.]
Imma get you some tea and water and stuff. Be right back. Okay? You stay put.
[Skipping off again]
no subject
The hammock is comfy, and there's a split second of wonder if he's going to end up being held prisoner in her bed. It makes him lucid enough as he lifts his head up enough in time to watch Hajime skip out of the room.
Lavi blinks, bemused.
He's really going to have to owe her for this, isn't he?]
no subject
So, talk to me. Whats wrong. I go tea, medicine, water, crackers and a nifty thing called nightquil if you wanna just sleep this off.
no subject
[He presses a hand against his forehead.]
Maybe even a little nauseated, but nothing a sleep won't get rid of.
no subject
[She picks up a small wet towel off the tray and steps over to Lavi. Reaching over, she gently swats his hand away. She's working here! Using that same hand, she brushes back his hair and headband with her finger tips before placing the cool towel over his forehead.]
Just relax.
no subject
There's a blink before he does completely relax, feeling how exhausted he suddenly is.]
no subject
[She grins at him. She gets this is probably a bit embrassing and he doesn't want to be cared to but Teasing and all aside, she really does just want Lavi to feel better. Being sick isn't fun for anyone.]
I'll turn out the lights so that'll help you to. If you need anything just give me a ring with your cellphone so you don't strain your voice. 'kay?
no subject
[It's mumbled out, though. He really would need to owe Hajime a lot after this - maybe when he's not feeling as shitty as he probably looks right now. There's a brief thought again of Hajime being 'motherly' and another thought of not having either of her shinki finding him in her room like this.
But at the question, he gives a nod.]
no subject
[Really, she has no problem helping out a ~friend~. She claps her hands twice and the lights go off aside from a duck nightlight plugged into the nearby outlet and some of the glow in the dark stars stuck to the ceiling.]
no subject
[And he's still not happy about that dammit.
He peers up at the stars, somewhat confused. What are those?]
no subject
[Funny name. Allen Walker. The Walker or Allens. She bounces the name around in her head, making a catchy tune to it so to commit it to memory. That wasn't Lavi's god. At least that she knew of. Unless Allen Walker was sometimes a 'she' and other times a 'he'. Lavi did say 'she' alot when talking about his god so this Allen must be a friend?]
No problem, leave it to me! [She gives a two-finger salute]
I can tell if he gets into trouble, poofs and we can follow his thread to where he is if you need to. But maybe he just needed some 'me' time.
