What: The Meeting of the Gods is here at last.
When: October 30
Where: Heaven's Meeting Hall
Summary:
Pre-Meeting
- Guards at the front door are carefully checking each god who enters off on their list of attendees, and taking the names of each of their shinki attendants.
Once the participants are past the doors, they are guided down the hallway to a huge meeting room by one of the guards, who will announce them by divine title, and each of their shinki by whatever name they gave. It's an open question as to who's actually listening, though, because the room is swiftly filling up with gods and shinki. As well as the newcomers, old gods are here, some in human form attended by their uniformed shinki, others in stranger shapes -- giant bears, round-bellied tanuki, turtles, dragons, and more. There's even one tricolored tabby cat in a small blue cap, seated majestically in the arms of a uniformed shinki and chatting with another god.
Buffet tables bearing every kind of food and drink imaginable are set up at one end of the room, and a dais with a podium is at the other, draped in bright gold and white bunting and emblazoned with a chrysanthemum emblem.
Early Announcements
- Finally, the socialization comes to an end, and the meeting itself begins as Ookuninushi grabs the microphone and steps up to the podium. The year's most popular gods are named first: Hotei, one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, is in third place, Tenjin in second and Ebisu in first place. Each steps up to bow and accept their accolades in turn: Hotei is a big man with a wide smile, Tenjin a tall, ascetic man wearing old robes and concealing his smug expression behind a fan, and a tired-looking younger man in a business suit announces himself as representing Ebisu, who is watching over the Near Shore during the event.
Next, the most popular new god is announced: Ookuninushi has to stop and wrinkle his nose at the name for several seconds before he pronounces it-- Nekhbet, a new arrival in the Heavens.
He moves on to call for a moment of silence recognizing the difficulties of the last year. Many gods have faced reincarnation and returned wearing unfamiliar faces! The Heavens can't yet explain the cause of these changes, but Amaterasu herself urges them to welcome their friends' new incarnations as brothers and sisters in the Heavens.
His final announcement is that, after the successful resolution of the trouble associated with some recent deaths, Orihime has been restored to her place among the eight million gods.
Fortune Weaving
- Announcements finished, the main activity of the evening begins. The white-robed shinki bring in huge baskets filled with wooden prayer plaques, setting them down all around the room, and the gods begin to form into circles around each basket. The older gods will gladly explain to any confused newcomers that they're weaving fortunate connections between mortal lives as they spread the plaques out and tie strings off together with great care. All the plaques have names written on them; some are filled out with prayers, some just with notes, and others adorned with pictures of flowers, animals or favorite characters.
Gods and shinki are given blank plaques to inscribe with their own names, too, in order to give them the chance to make fortunate connections as well. (Not necessarily romantic, the other gods will assure them! There are many different kinds of fated connection.)
Help out, take the opportunity to chat, and make some fortunate matches for yourself as well as these hard-working petitioners.
Midnight Disaster
- Just shy of midnight, while the gods are still matching up plaques, finishing the last of the banquet, and getting into drunken arguments over who to connect to whom, a shinki in a dark suit torn at the shoulder comes dashing into the Meeting Hall.
"Calamity!" he cries-- and tells the assembled Heavens that a mysterious blight has fallen across a sleepy residential community in the Tokyo suburbs. The blight, a huge circle covering about two blocks, is sucking the life out of everything inside it: plants are wilting, and people and animals have fallen into deathly slumber. As if that weren't bad enough, it's also attracting big, dangerous ayakashi. Ebisu and his shinki are there now, but there aren't enough of them to fight the ayakashi and move the people trapped inside the blighted circle to a safer place before they die.
Volunteers will need to fight ayakashi and rescue the mortals trapped in the blight -- once they're outside its edge, they'll begin to wake up and recover on their own.
In Summary:
- Enjoy the banquet before the announcements
- Hear about the most popular gods
- Help make fortunate connections for the living
- Respond to a disaster
- Have fun~
Midnight Disaster
Oi!
[Yamanbagiri quickly runs up towards Kanade and the afflicted person, before he turns to keep an eye on the ayakashi.]
Are they still breathing?
no subject
[ Oh, she's. She's being addressed. Kanade checks the person's vitals, including feeling for breath from their nose and mouth. ]
...Barely.
[ She pounds a fist into the ground. ] Shoot....
no subject
[He immediately yelled. "Barely" means "not dead yet", and he refuse to think of letting anyone suffer or worse in his eyes.]
We have to carry them away to safety first! [Away from this afflicted area. Wait, can she carry them?] How good are you with borderlines?
no subject
[ She'll WILLPOWER AND GUTS her way through what finesse and training can't accommodate. Kanade shifts to trying to pick the fallen person up, though if her accomplice looks open to doing the carrying instead, she doesn't really care which of them does what. Just as long as they move fast. ]
no subject
[He backs away until he's next to the fallen person. He glance at her.]
Switch with me now!
no subject
[ Upsadaisy. Kanade passes over the victim - careful with the cargo, now - and cracks her knuckles, turning back towards the ayakashi. ]
Start runnin'! LINE!
[ The first line knocks multiple charging shadows backwards. Adrenaline and anger can substitute for inexperience, at least for a while. ]
no subject
There!
Without a word, Yamanbagiri starts running. The victim's weight makes him a little slower than usual, but he's fit and strong enough to carry them like this. He's trusting Kanade to cover for him.
The ayakashi starts to scramble back into their feet, or their equivalent limbs, and starts to go after them.]
no subject
[ Forget waiting for the ayakashi to hit her trap. Kanade raises her next line and shoves it at the enemy. ] The tasty one is over here!!!
[ Don't even chase them. Go for her. Come on. Go for her....
A few eyeballs swivel. Kanade takes advantage of this to try to stick a borderline in them. Yeah, that's what you get.
Run, dude, run. ]
no subject
You know how you never really notice obstacles until you need to go somewhere, and now you see them? Not only Yamanbagiri have to run around and over things, he also have to be careful of corner turns.
Who knows what lay beyond there?
He just need to reach outside of the contamination zone.
Some of the ayakashi plow against the borderlines, while others try to get around them to get to Kanade. Hiss...]
no subject
LINE!!!
[ Wall time.
It helps to mix it up, right? Keep them guessing, keep them intent on her. Come on, dude. You can make it.... ]
no subject
There!
Panting loudly, he quickly speak up, shouting the words between each gasps for air.]
Made... Made it!
no subject
Of course, that moment of doubt is what the ayakashi use to shatter the borderline and come charging right at her. ]
--Crap.
no subject
Move to the side!
[If she move to one side, maybe the ayakashi would get confused when it didn't hit her. He quickly start to run back inside the infested area.]
no subject
LINE!
[ It knocks the ayakashi backwards, but doesn't stop it entirely. ]
no subject
Are you alright?!
[It's Yamanbagiri, who's running up to Kanade's side.]
We have to run, now!
[Unless their gods appear. But running away seems like the easier option right now.]
