34 - Love is in the Air
Who: Everyone!
What: An enterprising pair of shinki is trying to spread love throughout the Far Shore with exciting blind dates.
When: February 14
Where: Hot romantic spots throughout Tokyo
Summary: Blind dates on Valentine's Day? Sounds like fun (or possibly a disaster, but everyone needs some good disaster stories.) That's not all that's going on, though. Ayakashi are looking to chow down on the negative emotions that a romantic holiday can generate, and those who aren't busy with their own dates might be sucked into helping out followers who need help to make the day go well.

What: An enterprising pair of shinki is trying to spread love throughout the Far Shore with exciting blind dates.
When: February 14
Where: Hot romantic spots throughout Tokyo
Summary: Blind dates on Valentine's Day? Sounds like fun (or possibly a disaster, but everyone needs some good disaster stories.) That's not all that's going on, though. Ayakashi are looking to chow down on the negative emotions that a romantic holiday can generate, and those who aren't busy with their own dates might be sucked into helping out followers who need help to make the day go well.
The Dates
- Those who have signed up -- or whose friends and colleagues have signed them up -- for dates will get cards with specified times and meeting places inside for the big event. The cards don't list their dates' names, but instead have a matching symbol to allow everyone to find their proper partner. If anyone tries to stand up their date, they can expect a small and angry owl to harass them until they give in.
- Date One: The Romantic Brunch.
Couples will find themselves with reservations (and pre-paid coupons for the prix fixe menu) at a swanky French restaurant with a wide balcony overlooking the lake in a central Tokyo park. They can dine on dainty pastries, sweet milk coffees, bowls of grapes and hothouse strawberries, and a selection of fancy chocolates and petit-fours-- plus, some of the trees in the park are blooming in holiday-appropriate red and white! - Date Two: The Aquarium.
Couples scheduled for this date have tickets to a rooftop aquarium in Ikebukuro: brightly colored fish, animals including penguins, seals and pelicans, a small petting zoo and plenty of shadowy, secluded nooks to cuddle in make for a fun lunchtime date. The tickets even include admission to the one o'clock penguin and seal show! - Date Three: The Amusement Park.
This date sends couples to spend the evening enjoying themselves at a seaside amusement park. Ride the roller coasters! Take selfies with the costumed attendants! Share an overpriced ice cream cone while you watch the fireworks after sunset, then wind up the night with a ride on the colorfully lit Ferris wheel with a romantic view of the Tokyo skyline.
Ayakashi Menace
- There's more than just romantic couples out to enjoy themselves today. Romantic holidays can be tough for those whose love lives aren't so rosy, and as always, those negative feelings draw in ayakashi who are ready to ruin everybody's day.
All across the city, besides the usual ayakashi, characters might encounter the following:
Flocks of dove ayakashi whose mournful call induces self-doubt, suspicion and paranoia in everyone who hears it. Are your friends really your friends? Is your lover betraying you? Shouldn't you hurry up and stab them in the back before they can do it to you? These ayakashi are small and agile, difficult to catch but easy to destroy once they're caught... if you can overcome the urge to turn on your allies first.
Long-fingered shadow ayakashi, large and powerful, and capable of sneaking around by blending into genuine shadows. These ayakashi draw those who are alone into their clutches, filling them with resentment and despair. Anyone battling them needs to watch out for the humans they might already have influenced, who may become unpredictable and violent as the ayakashi influencing them grows more desperate.
Cute teddy bear ayakashi, that influence anyone they cling to into greedy obsession: they need attention, affection and gifts, and they can never have enough. When attacked, the teddy bears turn out to fight a little more like a grizzly bear than a stuffed toy, so gods and shinki beware!
Praying for Love
- Those who aren't busy with their own dates might find themselves busy taking care of other people's instead. On a day like this one, everyone's praying that things turn out perfectly! Prayers gods might hear include:
"He's just got to ask me out! I made him the biggest box of chocolates... please, let senpai notice me!"
"Does she really like me? Please, give me a sign."
"I got concert tickets for our date, but it's supposed to rain. Please let me find a way to make this work out anyway!"
"The restaurant I wanted to take him to isn't taking any more reservations for tonight. What can I do? I can't cook!"
Wild Card -- players are free to make up their own romance-adjacent prayers for their characters to fulfill.
In Summary:
- Enjoy your dates
- Fight some ayakashi
- Make sure to answer prayers for a good Valentine's Day
- Have fun~

He nodded.] Yes miss!

Yes. There are a group of spells only shinki can use that rely on a name to cast.
[She runs his name over two more times before steadying herself. She's never cast umbra on anyone else, so first time for anything. Confidence. Superiority. Let Romeo disappear from sight, unnoticed by the world.]
Ringoki, Umbra!
[Unlike spells like bind or silence, there isn't an apparent change as the spell is cast. Ginia can still see him and she can tell she's channeling a spell, but there's no ready change.
Kōjin returns, Ginia's scarf laid out across her hands. She pauses and looks around.]
"Oh, wasn't there a little boy with you too?"
no subject
He doesn't talk, because he's not sure if that will break the spell.]
no subject
Sorry, I was showing him umbra. Thank you for your help.
"Shinki spells are wonderful, aren't they. And please, think nothing of it! We should all work together to fight ayakashi after all. Who do you two serve?"
I'm Ginia, shinki to Alex, representing Oshun.
no subject
I'm Romeo! Shinki to Elfnein who is Gegute!
no subject
[Kōjin's shinki comes by with a plate of colorful mochi on squares of paper. The pipe, unlit, is tucked behind her ear. She shoves the tray of mochi at them.]
"Here, have some snacks."
"Mimi, be nice. She made them herself, please try some."
[Not one to say no to hospitality or free food, Ginia bows her head at Mimi and takes a piece of mochi. Mmm, strawberry!]
no subject
Wow these are tasty! Did you make them yourself, miss Mimi!
no subject
"Ah, yeah, it's a thing I do. It's fun."
[Kōjin smiles and pats Mimi's arm, taking a piece of mochi for herself.]
"Mimi's the talented one in the kitchen. I'm a mess. Oh! Don't let my followers know though! I'm supposed to be a god of the kitchen."
[She gestures at a statue nearby of a deity with four arms, each hand holding a cooking implement or weapon, a fearsome scowl on each of the three visible faces.]
no subject
She must be a god of fighting as well as of the kitchen. Though if it was her shinki who could make the nice food Romeo thought she should tell people that, it wasn't nice to lie! He frowned slightly looking over at Ginia, he doesn't want to promise he won't tell anyone because that would be lying too. But he doesn't want to disobey a god, escpecially an old god.
It seemed this was another of those complicated situations!]
no subject
Ginia frowns a little at Kōjin's admission, though the last thing she wants is to immediately jump to conclusions. They're guests and sometimes relations between the old and new are fragile at best.]
You mean Mimi helps you with your prayers?
[Kōjin smiles and laughs sheepishly.]
"Yes, that's right! I wouldn't be able to handle them without her! Do you two help your god out on prayers?"
no subject
[He grins, reassured.]
