Science has gone too far!

[subtract]

Who: Anyone!
Where: Anywhere!
When: All of October 2nd
What: Add's experiment starts to affect the Far Shore, causing rifts and mutated ayakashi to begin appearing all over. Please refer to this post for details and questions.

Spatial Tears

The first few cracks are small, barely anything noticeable, but by morning the tears have widened enough to start leaking a chaotic and unsettling energy. Spend too much time around them and you'll start feeling strange. Memories get foggier, emotions start to run wild or go missing entirely... whatever's causing this, it's not good.

Luckily, magic seems to be enough to force them back, and a bit of holy water can seal up a weakened tear in no time. Better get to work!

Freak Ayakashi

Ayakashi are rare on the Far Shore, but not completely unheard of. The ones that linger too close to the tears receive a much more sinister effect compared to gods and shinki—the energy seeps into their bodies in the form of glowing blue patterns, granting the ayakashi even more strength and the power to spread more tears and corrupt energy with their blight. These ayakashi are aggressive and will attack heavenly beings on sight.

... but many of the ayakashi will be very familiar to the older of the outsider gods and shinki. A large number of small Noise ayakashi have ended up in the mix somehow, resembling the ones that escaped from the chocolates way back in March. They're small, but incredibly dangerous, and it'll take a coordinated attack to put any kind of dent on them.

Henir's Temple

A massive tear can be seen looming over Henir's temple, and it grows larger and larger as the day goes on. The temple grounds are a mess, and it seems like this might be the source of the trouble. Is there something inside the temple that might put a stop to all of this?

Later in the day, a piercingly bright golden triangle shines through the darkness of the giant rift. Whatever's going on in there, it's not just Add that's involved.

((If you want your character to investigate the temple, please contact me first! I can be reached on plurk at BlueFlewFedUQueen, by PM, or you can respond to the event OOC post. This is just to keep track of who's going where, so if you've already spoken to me about it in some capacity you're A-OK :|b))

I've already forgotten it!

[ The stuff you've said. That, Hibiki feels, will be the best revenge against this outrage that has clearly just been committed against her person.

Was she even ever....?

But no. To consider he might have been playing her false this entire time takes her down a path she'd rather not tread. She turns around. ]

I'm leaving.

...Hey.

[Despite his hesitation, Zetta manages to get the word out -- in a completely serious tone of voice, completely at odds with his usual tones.]

One more thing.

[priforprince]

[ She shouldn't stop. Hibiki knows this. He hasn't said a single useful thing yet. There is absolutely no reason to stop.

And yet, her steps slow. That change in tone - that sounded like a Dramatic Development. Something within her causes that to appeal. ] ....What?

[ She makes a point of at least sounding appropriately displeased, suspicious, and testy. ]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

...Don't get yourself in the same situation that I found you in again.

[For all that they'd gotten distracted down entirely other tangents, Zetta had not forgotten that he'd accidentally rescued her.]

[priforprince]

[ Somehow that's almost more shiver-inducing than if she'd been mocked again. ]

Hmph.

[ That, apparently, is reassurance. Because she's out. ]
