Who: Ayumu, Goku, Hakkai, Chikusa, Ken, Ginia, Gojyo, Shun, Lavi, Nia, + brief appearances by Chinatsu and Caster.
When December 8th and 9th
Where: Goku's temple and various locations in the Far Shore's western district.
What: What starts out as an ablution to purify a blighted shinki turns into utter disaster in the western district.
Warnings: Character death, body horror, graphic violence, potential references to torture, sexual violence, and suicidal ideation in the ablution thread. Will add further warnings if necessary!

[The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Even in Heaven.

In the wee hours of morning before dawn, a loud, inhuman, cacophonic shriek shatters the silence in the western district. Afterward, a large, black mass hastily passes through the region. It skitters and softly thumps across rooftops in both pursuit of prey to sate its ceaseless hunger and flight from those intent on its destruction.

As it travels through the dark, the upper silhouette of a woman astride a giant spider can be glimpsed, ghosting and leaping across distances many more lengths than its size with stunning agility. For those that can steal a glimpse of the woman's face, they'll discover that the features are those of Ayumu Yamazaki - if hideously deformed by the addition of three extra pairs of beady, black eyes sprouting up over its forehead and beyond.

Those tracking its trajectory will realize that the ayakashi is bound for the northwestern edge of the district as if seeking desperate escape from every vestige of Amaterasu's realm and influence.

A telltale sign of the ayakashi's passing are faint wisps of spidersilk hanging from high places or bits littered across the ground. However, these secretions are dangerous to the touch, blighting anyone who comes into direct contact with them. A very faint, tar-like odor lingers in the air where it's been.

Maybe it'd be wise to keep under cover or at the very least, steer clear of its path until the danger's passed.]



[OOC: Ayumu's ayakashi form looks similar to this minus the skulls, with furrier black legs, and the aforementioned resemblance and eye deformities. Players are free to reference or comment on any of the description above in their own threads or posts if they like!]

[Stab her, gut her, blind her, squish her, Gojyo's thoughts whisper in Hakkai's mind, as if they were his own. Bile burns his throat. It's no different, really, from putting down a youkai maddened by bloodlust from the Minus Wave. It's no different from rending the rotting flesh of a zombie to release the spirit trapped inside.

It's the mercy Ayumu had begged for as the ablution dragged on so agonizingly last night.

Hakkai hates mercy.

He twists away from the descending blow, feeling the razored tip of her arm cut his sleeve and skim the skin beneath as he deflects it with Gojyo's steel tip. The joint at the wrist bends like a scissor hinge, intolerant of lateral torsion. So, if he grabs the outer, blunter edge of the blade

(his hand screams agony as though he'd closed it on a coal)

and kicks out at the elbow, high and hard, to snap the limb at its joint--]

[Hakkai's hand spasms, unable to maintain its grip on the limb any longer as blight eats into his flesh, and he throws himself backwards before she has a chance to strike. Her arms are injured, and that may slow her down, but she has seven untouched legs, all deadly sharp.

This fight is a long way from its end. He can't be careless.]

Hakkai!

[ He just grabbed an ayakashi? Unbelievable! Gojyo twists in Hakkai's hand, lunging for Ayumu's corpse again. ]

Attack with me, you idiot! I can't get hurt!

[ Stab and rend, he thinks, aiming for the crack in her -- it's -- hard outer shell. Split her open. ]

Sorry, I needed to brace it!

[The sharp legs arrow in at his sides, but Gojyo's jolt forward to attack is slowing him too much for a backwards escape. Hakkai follows the momentum of the umbrella, instead, diving forward and under the ayakashi as he twists to stab up with the sharp metal point. This is going to blight him quite a bit if it connects, but it will also tear through her belly. Spider abdomens are softer than the -- thorax, on her body, not cephalothorax, as her head is still very human --

(He's aware that he's occupying himself with inanities. It does help, though.)

If he was able to crack the limbs with Gojyo's ferrule, then he should be able to tear open the abdomen. If he connects.]
