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~

Just the thing Pyrrha wants to hear, surely.
Wendy keeps going; she knows that's not nearly enough to answer anyone's questions. "It used to just be a regular weird forest that kept popping up around the Far Shore like it could move- well, it did move. But then people started going missing. Someone I know, Shun, went looking into it, and it was one of his shinki who came back to tell us that it was taking people. So everyone got worked up and dived into it to get people back."
Her hands flop to the side. "It turned out that there was this cult of weirdos who were responsible. There were weird magic papers on trees, and all the kidnapped people were trapped in place for some sort of ritual."
no subject
"Did you figure out how to stop them?"
no subject
She shakes her head. "I'm sorry that I can't really tell you more. That whole thing is beyond me."
no subject
She was foolish to believe that the ayakashi were the only foes they'd go up against. She was foolish to get as comfortable as she did. She's not about to get pessimistic on Wendy, but she's at least more aware of the reality of their situation: there are people who are out to get them.
"I'm sorry you had to relive that, Wendy. I'm sure it wasn't a fun experience for you. Or...for anyone, really."
no subject
"Listen. Don't worry about it. There's a saying on 'whatever doesn't kills you, makes you stronger', or something, right?" Her hand flutters through the air dismissively. The exact phrasing doesn't honestly matter. "But as long as I'm still around, I can move past things. It all ended well."
no subject
Right?
Pyrrha gives her a small smile. "Yes, that's how it goes." Nailed it! "You're strong, Wendy. And I know that we'll be able to take on whatever this place wants to throw at us."
no subject
"I'm sensible, is what I am. Sensible in a place full over melodramatic people." Not even Shun is barred from that one. "But then, someone has to be, right?"
no subject
Well. At least she doesn't think anyone's like that, anyway!
no subject
At the same time... "But we can figure that out later, once we've made sure that no one has had a building drop on them or something. If it was just a little bit of a shake, I guess we can count ourselves lucky."
