What: A volcano eruption threatens the Western District
When: Jan 14 - 16
Where: The Western District of the Heavens
Summary: The Western District volcano is erupting again, endangering nearby temples and sending ash sprinkling down across the Heavens. Is it natural, or another attack? Those who dare climb the volcano can find out.
Earthquake Warning
- On the morning of the 14th, an earthquake rattles windows throughout the Heavens. It's not strong enough to knock down buildings -- unless they're about to fall down anyway, like some of the older abandoned temples -- but it's strong enough to knock things off shelves and startle any late sleepers out of bed.
After the earthquake, strange sights abound around the Heavens. The poetic koi are swimming in organized schools in all of the canals, heading upstream towards the east. Springs of pure water burst out in some areas, and in others, normal springs or fountains have gone temporarily dry. Blue and green lights bob and weave across the landscape.
Falling Rock
- The volcano begins erupting with a roar and a bright scarlet glow on the horizon. Ash and bits of rock fall across the Western district, and may even reach into the Southwest, Northwest and southern Central districts. Volcanic glass fibers that look like golden hair collect on trees, fences and buildings.
Trails and fountains of lava are also erupting from freshly opened fissures and wending down the sides of the volcano. Gods and shinki who live in the Western District are going to need some help clearing ash and glass from their roofs, trying to re-route lava flows (the good news is, if you cool one side down enough, you can turn them! the bad news is, that takes a lot of work) or just offering them a spare room to stay until things calm down.
Swamp Gas
- It's not just lava and springwater erupting from mysterious new crevasses -- and it's not just mundane volcanic gases, either. Divine volcanic vents are blowing mind-altering fumes all over the Heavens. Anywhere across the Far Shore, but especially as characters get closer to the volcano, they may experience one or more of the following effects:
- Confusion
- Intense emotions
- Anger and irritability
- Impulsive behavior, loss of emotional control
- Hallucinations
- Unusually clear insight into other people and situations
- Coughing, eye and throat irritation, difficulty breathing
- Irresistible impulses to speak in poetry
Most symptoms will clear up after a few hours in fresh air, and all of them will be gone within 48 hours of the last volcano gas exposure.
Mountain Climbing
- Natural disasters don't just happen like this in the Heavens... do they? Amaterasu's white-robed shinki are convinced that something is wrong, and they're organizing into search parties to go up the mountain and seek out the cause of this eruption. New and old gods and shinki are welcome to join them, or form their own groups. All of the hazards -- tremors, lava, ash, and volcanic gas -- will get worse as characters ascend the volcano. Strange little spirit flames, in shades of red and blue, dance on the rocks, dazzling, confusing and threatening to singe interlopers.
And there's someone up here, too. A mysterious figure with glowing red eyes is keeping watch on the intruders and vanishing behind boulders whenever someone turns his way. He won't let anyone traveling with one of the white-robed shinki get too close, but solitary gods or shinki might manage to lure him into conversation, if they try....
OOC: Please comment to the 'NPC REQUEST' thread below in order to talk to the mysterious figure on the volcano.
Those climbing the volcano will have a chance to battle the mysterious figure should their characters choose to do so. If you're interested in a fight, please comment to the 'NPC FIGHT' thread below before the top-level is posted. A top-level for the fight will go up on IC Jan 16/OOC Sept 4.
In Summary:
- Don't get rattled
- Help out the Western District with their volcano problem
- Watch out for volcanic gases
- Find out who's behind the eruption
- Have fun~
no subject
Under the shadow of his hand, his eyes glow a vivid scarlet.]
Hey, how many people are up here, anyway?
no subject
Who's this kid now? [ Yata jabs a finger in his direction. ] Hey you! Did you do all this?
no subject
Let him just float the carpet down, to be closer and easier for the kid to see who's on the massive carpet. ]
One substitute god and his three asshole shinki. Having fun up here?
no subject
He raises a brow at him.]
Seems like you're kind of in the middle of a mess there.
no subject
'Cause seriously, I think it's just a volcano.
[He grins, bored tone vanishing with mercurial speed, and adds to Judar:]
But yeah, I'm having fun. It's exciting up here.
no subject
You have a long-lost cousin, Misaki?
no subject
Shut up, Saru. Besides, look at him, he looks more like Judar than me.
[ Never one to content himself with letting others take the lead, Yata abruptly hops off the floating carpet to land on one of the few bits of rocky outcropping up here. The heat is still intense, but in response, his Aura flares to life, surrounding him in a sort of heat-shield bubble as he looks at this new stranger and gestures around him. ]
No. But everyone else on this mountain is running around looking for anything suspicious to try and find out what is causing it. You're the only person we've seen just chilling up here like a day at the beach. Seems suspicious enough to me.
no subject
It's fine. Judar knows how to rile people up. It's why he doesn't have friends. ]
He could've just been around. I mean, it probably doesn't even take that much to cause the volcano to erupt in the first place. Obviously it was forced to, but I bet you can be so ordinary that even someone like one of you aura people could do it.
The kid's eyes might be glowing just to keep safe from the heat and fumes.
[ Yeah, that's right. He's belittling the accomplishments, and swinging it back around to how Yata could've done it. ]
no subject
Izumo holds back a sigh.
Why are you like this? But he's just content to let Judar and Yata....seemingly handle it for now. Yata's already confronting the kid so he's content to let him continue on with the interrogation. As long as it doesn't bite them in the ass.]
no subject
[This may not be strictly true -- everyone who's running towards the volcano is doing it for one very specific reason or another -- but Sotero doesn't care all that much about accuracy.]
Why would keeping safe from heat make my eyes glow, anyway? They just always do. I'm not saying you're weird because of how your eyes look.
no subject
[Fushimi is done with this bullshit, okay.]
no subject
[ It wouldn't be the first time someone said he was weird because of his eyes. He's got weird eyes. Also, Saru, why'd you have to cut past the fun banter? With that, Judar just leans back on the carpet, now having it hover about a foot off from the ground. ]
Kind of obvious he's admiring his work, right? That's what I'd do for a while. Either that, or he's got nowhere to go because the heaven's consider him someone that doesn't belong around here.
no subject
[Izumo gets off of the carpet, but still stays near it.]
no subject
[He glares indiscriminately at the three of them.]
What do you know about Votelli, anyway?
no subject
Who the hell is Votelli?
no subject
[It just means this young man is like her, too.]
no subject
[Sotero huffs, and says under his breath:] Dumbass.
no subject
Are you surprised? Girls fall for anything.
[ Part of him doesn't completely believe that. There's a gut knowing that it's not entirely true. But this is also a kid, and kids are dumb and simple in some ways. ]
no subject
[ The defensive answer is automatically snapped in Judar's direction, even as he tries to wrap his head around the conversation happening here - one he has only bits and pieces of. ]
Wait. The forest? Are you saying...? [ His eyes widen before he shoots an accusing glare at both this new kid and his own god. ] Shit, you know who was responsible for all that forest bullshit? And this... is this the same kinda thing?!
[ He might angle himself subtly to put himself between his god and this weird new kid. Just in case. ]
no subject
[But...he sees what Yata's doing and doesn't stop him.
He looks at Sotero.]
We've just had a small chat. She didn't really say much about anything else.
no subject
Anyway, this is just a volcano. That happens sometimes.
no subject
[Hm.]
So how'd you do it? It takes a lot of power to get past the old gods like this.
no subject
[ Judar doesn't know any more than Yata, but at least he can roll along with it. ]
I mean, it'd probably take a lot of power if this wasn't your kind of thing. Like getting Izumo to cook food he's never made before. It's just as easy as stretching for you, right kid?
