What: Uncover the remaining secrets of the mysterious forest.
When: Nov 29 - 30
Where: Chichibu National Park & the Central District
Summary: A heavily forested wilderness area in Chichibu National Park is attracting dangerous numbers of ayakashi, and Heaven's forces suspect that this might be the mortal forest that was connected to the Heavens in order to kidnap gods and shinki a few weeks ago.
Walk in the Woods
- On the morning of the 29th, Heaven's messenger doves drop off small folded cards at the doors of every temple. The cards read,
- We believe that we have identified the location on the Near Shore where the human accomplices were working. As it is a large area, we offer you this information, in case you are able to assist us in searching for clues to the identity of the culprit. Please investigate with caution: there are reports of ayakashi in the area.
Attached is a map to a large national park in the Kanto region, with a section of the park cross-hatched in red pen. Anyone who goes to investigate the marked area will discover that it is heavily forested and contains about a mountain and a half; the ground is steep, muddy with autumn rain, and slick with dead leaves, though some red and orange colors are still grimly clinging to the branches overhead. Watch your step! The supernatural menace seems to have faded, but the purely natural hazards can do almost as much damage.
Heaven's forces, wearing white short jackets with gold chrysanthemum emblems over much more sensible jeans and hiking boots, can be seen here and there throughout the forest, searching for clues themselves. If somebody gets in a real jam, they might be willing to lend a hand.
Mysterious Trees
- Towards the center of the cross-hatched area, investigators may begin to see some familiar signs. Are those bits of torn-down spell papers still fluttering from nails driven into the trees? Vines and tree branches cut and broken by the hostage rescuers breaking through? Footprints, torn bits of black hooded cloaks... there are clues aplenty here.
There's something else, too: a mysterious presence still seems to haunt the forest. The trees might not move when anyone's watching, but it seems like they're in slightly different positions every time you look away and back. And what was that flicker of movement in the underbrush? Is there still someone here?!
Comment on the NPC REQUEST/CLUE SEARCH thread below to request specific details, or to go hunting for that mysterious presence.
Ayakashi Attacks
- There's more than one mysterious presence in these trees... and some of them are definitely not friendly. The forest's aura is unsettling and creepy enough to partially mask their approach, but ayakashi of all types and sizes seem to have been drawn here. Some wind along tree branches or soar through the air on fleshy, wide-spread wings. Others crawl or even burrow in the ground.
And all of them are excited at the possibility of a divine meal. Look out!
Autumn Leaf Viewing
- An area of the Central District planted with maple along a stone-walled canal has been decorated with hanging lanterns, comfortable spread mats and cushions, and an abundance of delicious food and drink on the afternoon of the 30th. Everyone is invited: new gods and old, those who helped investigate the Near Shore forest and those who didn't. For those who did investigate, though, one or two of the white-robed shinki who are helping with the party preparations and enjoying the food and drink themselves will take the opportunity to pull them aside and ask about their findings.
The party includes games as well as food and drink. Kites, poetry games, tag, hide-and-seek, card games and dice games are going on all over. There's even some determined board game and mahjong players who have brought their favorite game to the outdoor venue and are setting up on mats with immense care.
At one edge of the landscaped area where the party is being held, the ground slopes up, and is planted with a riot of bright gold, white and rust-red chrysanthemums. Like the ones that bloomed everywhere a few months ago, these flowers exude a sense of peace, confidence and security to anyone nearby, and especially those who pick the blooms to wear in their hair or their buttonhole.
In Summary:
- Investigate a wild forest
- Watch out for nasty trees
- Exorcise an ayakashi infestation
- Enjoy some hard-earned relaxation
- Have fun~

[ Technology is not at all as advanced, where he's from. Not that he remembers it, but there are so many strange things in this afterlife. ]
no subject
[ She's. Trying not to lose it again, here. Ego helps.
Maxie starts shifting in place, though. His hooves stamp the mud. He doesn't like standing still. ]
no subject
[ "Mechanics", an all-encompassing word. ]
Sorry to be a distraction, Mister Horse.
[ Obi likes animals. More than he likes people. ]
no subject
For example, Hibiki is still talking. ] Can you doubt it?
[ Here is that imperious hand again. Give give. ] Here.
no subject
[ There there horsie. Would it be alright with Maxie if Obi reached out a hand to let him sniff it so he can pet him? ]
no subject
[ Says Hibiki, distracted from her quest to give warning. But then Maxie goes and makes a (bigger) liar out of her by going very still, sensing a soul who understands and knows how to treat animals. Sniffs are fine. So are pets.
He is a really well-kept horse, for all Hibiki's....Hibiki-ness. ]
Wha?!
no subject
Obi entirely ignores Hibiki in favour of familiarizing himself with the horse, giving pets and compliments and mixing in some random chatter. ]
no subject
....Hibiki, atop him, casts about for a way to not look like a fool. ] Well. He's also gracious.
no subject
Yes, I can tell he's very gracious, Miss.
[ Why are you disturbing them, Miss? ]
no subject
Learning from his example to return my property would be best.
no subject
I'm pretty bad at following other's good examples.
[ Obviously. ]
no subject
"Some reason", meanwhile, is sniffing. ] That much is obvious.
Maxie, back!
[ NOT JUST YET, HE IS FINDING THE FOOD ]
no subject
We're busy Miss, patience.
no subject
[ And she says that every time she is made to wait anyway.
Maxie is very excited to discover many kinds of food. The sugar cubes in particular seem like a hit. Master and mount alike both have sweet teeth.
Crunch crunch crunch. ]
no subject
[ Some things (like the sugar cubes) might be a bit hard for Maxie to fish out on his own even with the dexterity of a horse's upper lip, but it makes Obi chuckle and help him get them out. ]
no subject
Hibiki twitches at this disgraceful scene, but her own upbringing keeps her from interrupting tea time. Is this...the curse of being too perfect...?!
Still, she's looking for the first chance she can take to try and direct Maxie's head elsewhere. ]
no subject
Obi is going to occupy Maxie's attention for quite some time if she doesn't succeed. ]
no subject
Come on, Maxie. Why. You used to be such a well-behaved horse. ]
...You're extremely prepared to encounter animals.
[ The Shikyoin Hibiki Emotion Loop is ready to swing back again. Maybe it will actually get her moving her horse this time, depending on his reply. ]
no subject
Mmmm, I guess that I am.
[ He's pretty much an animal himself, for being a human without any weird special features. Most animals generally feel a sense of camaraderie as long as he's not oozing killing intent, and he tends to return the feeling. ]
no subject
[ Maxie is starting to suspect he is running out of pockets. No more...? ]
no subject
Perhaps so, but it's not like you do.
no subject
Hibiki takes her horse's pause as a chance to try and swipe her grabber away. ] Believe what you like!
[ And now, brag time. Hopefully with grabber. ] My findings will speak for themselves.
no subject
He also lets Hibiki swipe that grabber. ]
So you say, Miss.
no subject
Await the dawning of this mystery's solution. Maxie, haah!
[ A farewell neigh as Maxie backs up. If he keeps not listening, he's worried what it might do to her health. ]
no subject
Obi will drop by his home (but not hers) for visits, but for now he'll disappear into the forest. ]
