Summary: Orihime has been tasked by the Heavens with resolving the conflict caused in the mortal world by the new gods' struggles against one another. Several gods have been killed recently, and their violent deaths have led to dangerous corruption being released in the mortal world. Help Orihime expunge the corruption and return the human world to a peaceful existence.


Orihime's Meadows
- Before traveling to the Far Shore, gods and shinki can meet and make plans near Orihime's modest home at the edge of the Southeastern District. Her dwelling is too small to accommodate even one team of gods and shinki arranging something as serious as this, let alone several. It is obvious she thought about this fact, and has crafted four cloth tents out in the meadows surrounding her home. The sounds of the milky way river are now joined by rustling fabric in the wind, for each tent has a flag mounted atop it and standing in front of it:
- The blue tent belongs to the team for Ksitigarbha. It has a sigil in black on the flag.
- The green tent belongs to the team for Li Tieguai. On its flag, a mortar and pestle in white, but the visible part of the pestle resembles a staff crook.
- The red tent belongs to the team for Cu Chulainn, with an impressive reproduction of a two-headed dog celtic knot in shining silver.
- The brown tent belongs to the team for Loki. Its flag bears a two-headed snake in gold.
In the center of all four tents is a simple chair and table where Orihime herself is generally sitting, talking to others nearby, or writing notes based on those conversations. She does a lot of listening when people ask her for new supplies she hadn't thought of previously, but has only been supplied with four shinki runners to get those supplies, one per group. Additionally, she cannot teleport down to the Near Shore herself, nor can anyone use her home to teleport down to where each of the troubles are; that is a problem for each group to solve on their own, with Orihime only able to mediate and provide suggestions.
Child's Play
- Kshitigarbha, protector of children and of hell beings, is one of the recent casualties. Without his protection, it seems that babies' fears are giving rise to new and awful ayakashi throughout the city of Xi'an. Shadows on the wall above the crib, oversized stuffed animals, monsters hiding in the closet or rattling the windows at night -- all the fears of earliest childhood are taking real, malicious form. Babies are panicking, parents are exhausted, and all this stress is pulling in even more ayakashi! Someone needs to lure out these nursery nightmares and defeat them before the situation gets worse.
As gods and shinki work to rend the ayakashi tormenting children, they may notice a strange shadow passing by in the street outside, or scratching noises at the nursery window. Something more seems to be waiting outside....
Flu Season
- With sky-high living costs and limited space, Tokyo has a large homeless population. Li Tieguai, protector of the poor and patron of medicine, was another recent death: now, winter's coming, and without his protection it seems like everyone's getting sick at once. They're suffering from everything ranging from plain old head colds and 'flu to more serious things like pneumonia or infections. Help pass out tea, soup and blankets, make sure they get the right medications, and get the sickest people to the hospital.
Carrion crows crowd close around the sick and croak, watching the gods and shinki helping them.
Wild Hounds
- As if honoring the fall of the Hound of Chulainn, stray dogs have begun to form into large, dangerous packs in rural and suburban areas of Ireland, and even well-trained housepets have started breaking their leashes and joining them. They're starting to chase and bite humans, and it's only a matter of time before someone gets killed. Gods need to defeat the ayakashi possessing the "leaders of the pack," and get the pets back to their worried owners.
The groves of trees where the dogs are lairing seem unusually dark and shadowy, and footsteps seem to echo those of the gods and shinki tracking them down.
Prank War
- Teenage pranks are turning unusually cruel and dangerous lately: with Loki gone, a few groups of bored kids have coalesced into more serious gangs in Chiba, and they've been seen setting fires, tormenting animals, vandalizing businesses and intimidating or robbing people walking alone at night. Someone needs to stop them from causing trouble, put them on a better path, or turn them in to the police before someone gets badly hurt.
Even as they're working to stop the teenagers' mischief, something seems to whisper to them and encourage them to join in and cause a little trouble. After all, it's just some fun....
Boss Battles
- Those who helped to resolve the problems caused by the gods' deaths have one final enemy to face. Four dangerous ayakashi are behind these conflicts. Each character can participate in one boss battle, but it's fine for characters to form multiple different groups (i.e. multiple threads under one boss's comment.) To ensure that the NPC knows when to respond to your characters, please indicate which characters will be in a thread in your first comment.

[Meanwhile, the text on the phone reads simply- ]
pathetic to fight only
no subject
If you think adding petty theft to it makes you less pathetic, you've got another thing coming.
[Shun couldn't really care less if Chikusa thinks he's pathetic, but the point is that using this as a chance to steal is even more so.]
no subject
[Which of course means another phone is getting dropped at Shun's head.]
consequences
no subject
[Like knock out a couple more of these kids, for example, and ideally hunt down whatever the hell the source of all this is.]
no subject
[There's nothing written on it.]
no subject
The flying phone does bean another one of the kids right between the eyes, though.]
no subject
[Once the teenager is curled up, trying to avoid an aggravated beak, Chikusa perches on top of him and straightens up to his full height. How many of these nuisances are there anyway?]
no subject
One of them charging at him makes that decision very easy, as he stuns the guy in the face and then grabs him to throw him at two of the others. It's hard enough to send all three flying into a nearby wall.]
no subject
[It takes a lot of flapping and kicking, but it sure does the job well enough.]
no subject
A couple of the kids are strewn a little too close to the middle of the alley, so Shun drags them out to the edges, briefly checking over them to make sure their injuries are only temporary.]
Still no sign of the thing causing all this.
no subject
no reason to
no subject
[Just not right now, evidently. Shun slides the phone back along the ground to Chikusa in case he wants to write something else.]
no subject
[And if it's a waiting game, that means there's not much reason to hang around here... besides picking through more people's pockets.]
[He's pretty sure Shun won't bother to stop him.]
no subject
As such, he starts to head off to spot for other groups to deal with, or any initial signs that the ayakashi might be starting to take an interest.]
