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~

Why did you do it? Whose orders were you working under? [This boy is a tool as much as Votelli is. The means by which someone wishes to destroy Heaven.] ... Tell me that, and I will have no reason to inquire about you further. We will leave, and swear not to give chase wherever you might flee.
[Her words are intent, serious, but sincere. It might pain her to leave without all her questions answered, but without a doubt that is the most important one.]
no subject
Minako doesn't move an inch from where she's standing, but she's completely at the ready. The moment Zelda takes action, she'll be there to support it. Even if she doesn't know what to expect. ]
no subject
[Sotero's fists clench, and he doesn't try to make a run for it after all. Instead, he straightens up, chin lifting defiantly.]
Nobody gave me orders to do anything. I just went to the party, that's all, because I wanted to.
I don't know why you're so mad about it, anyway.
no subject
[Zelda asks, incredulous, then throws out an arm, gesturing down towards the main districts of Heaven in exasperated explanation.]
The entire event erupted into chaos! Those in attendance were afflicted with such raw, heightened emotion that they could barely control themselves! People were hurt-- I thought my shinki was dying because he was in so much emotional pain!
Are you truly telling me you were not aware of any of that?
no subject
Even so, it's Sotero she's looking at - but for once Minako is the calmer one in this situation. Even if it's in a more chilly way than usually. ]
People were hurting back then. [ Apparently.. But more importantly-- ] And people are hurting now. If you're saying you don't have anything to do with that, are you still just going to stand by and not do anything about it every single time? If you can't help through action, then at least help with information.
no subject
[He's clenching his fists now, glaring at her with real outrage.]
Why's it supposed to be my fault just because I went to a party and played a little? Why's it supposed to be my fault just because I'm here and fire doesn't hurt me? It's because I'm not one of you, isn't it? You're just like all the old gods!
[He stamps his foot; the crack that opens beneath it, narrow but deep, and showing a red glow at the bottom, might undermine his claim not to be responsible at all for the volcano's eruption.]
So why should I care what happens to you anyway!
no subject
[She's cut off by the fissure opening in the earth and the upswell of heat released by it. Fearful, she takes a step back, and her hand blindly searches for Minako's own.
Yes, it's because you're not one of us, it's because I can't trust you, sits heavily on her tongue, but the survival instinct Impa trained into the very marrow of her bones prevents her from giving it voice despite her own anger.]
... People I care about were hurt and I do not know why. Can you not understand that at all?
no subject
Minako might be doing a pretty good job of shoving down her own annoyance at it far enough that it won't get in the way of what Zelda is trying to do here, but the moment that crack opens in the vulcano, she is most certainly grabbing Zelda's hand and squeezing it as hard as she can, protective instincts making sure to stand at least a little bit in front of Zelda as long as the boy is acting this way.
She's not saying anything, not wanting to ruin the chance of Zelda's question being answered, but she's most definitely glaring at the boy. Don't you dare hurt her goddess, she will throw down.
(You know, despite not having powers as far as she knows and him being a god, but.. still...) ]
no subject
[He's still bristling, glaring suspiciously at her, but he's not escalating.]
Like I said, I only came for a little bit, and I went home before dark. I didn't even know anything bad happened later.
no subject
[This is not an answer she's satisfied with, and it shows in the lingering uncertainty on her expression. But she doesn't dare risk inciting him further, not with Minako here. She squeezes her shinki's hand with equal fervor, instinctively pulling it back a bit as though to get her away from the threat.
There's so much more she wants to know, but it seems like she's going to have to go on wanting at this time.]
If that is all you know, then we shall take our leave. Come, Minako. There is nothing more for us here.
[Before he decides he's not going to let them leave.]
no subject
.. Fine.
[ She doesn't trust this kid, but of course she's going to listen to Zelda. So she takes a step back to stand next to her goddess instead. ]
He really needs to learn how to act less suspicious though. [ Of course she's fully well aware he can still hear that, but it just had to be said, alright. ]
no subject
[He's not making any move to stop them; he's just cupping his hands around his mouth and yelling after them. Yeah, he heard you, Minako.]
