38 - Power Palette Swap

[godsoffortune]

Who: Everyone!
What: Power Palette Swap Event!
When: April 15th - April 18th 2017 (March 1st - March 8th 2019)
Where: Throughout the Far Shore and Near Shore
Summary: A couple of intrepid magical investigators unknowingly trigger some mishaps among the New Gods and Shinki.



For two weeks, the Ama investigators have been combing the compound where Cultists were dealt a heavy blow by the New Gods and Shinki. Among them, two in particular had been looking to move the Crystal that the cultists had in their basement, the stand that it sat on, and the dolls nearby. Combined with Waver's analysis, Judar succeeds in using his magic to transport the Crystal out of the basement.

As they manage that, a ripple effect washes over the New Gods and Shinki. There is a slight sense of Vertigo for some, a stronger wave for others, and then things start to change...



As It Happens: April 15

Everyone was minding their own business. Perhaps they were on the Near Shore helping complete a prayer, or they were in the Far Shore attending to various godly duties. Regardless of where everyone was, it's around noon when some things start to change. A mild sense of vertigo happens to those who start to experience physical body changes, while a stronger wave seems to wash over the God or Shinki's skin if their powers are changing, or perhaps even a sudden stop-in-your-tracks deadening of feeling if being depowered entirely.

April 16

Later in the afternoon, through no extra effort of the Crystal-movers, a loud noise like a subwoofer kicking into effect issues from within the Crystal, knocking anyone away who was near it by several feet. The one-shot noise reverberates in the ears of all New Gods and Shinki, triggering another change for some. At the Crystal, the black color that appeared when the former Goddess entered the Crystal fills more of it.

April 17

Closer to 7pm, once more, the noise issues forth from the Crystal, louder and knocking people back several yards this time. The Crystal fills with black and grey. Some might swear they can see a face of the white-grey against all of the black, resembling an Inkblot / Rorschach test style picture.

Aftermath: April 18

Around 10am, the black coils from within the Crystal settle down into more of whispy smoke, much harder to see in it. There's a slight tug in the direction of the Crystal regardless of where New Gods and Shinki stand, and with that pull, the change effects go away and all are returned to as they were.

In Summary:

• Swap powers with another character!
• Gain or lose powers!
• Swap physical appearances with another character!
• Use or abuse the changes while you can!
• Investigate who and what is responsible!
• Have fun~

APRIL 16

[ Kairi is getting a bit more accustomed to being in this form by the time she runs into Pyrrha too. She's riding around on Nimbus between temples when she gets down a little ways from Hakkai's school. Walking by looks like Roxas, and Kairi gasps before running over to 'him'. ]

Roxas? Is that--

[ But when she gets corrected, Kairi gets even more confused. ]

Pyrrha? How? I mean-

[ She gestures to herself. ]

I'm stuck like this, but this isn't anyone we know either.

[incinerators]

...Kairi? Is that you?

[ there's so much going on. people are experiencing all sorts of changes and pyrrha can't make any sense of it. but when she hears kairi say roxas' name, her heart hurts. she misses her friend...and she feels especially guilty that she's taken on his appearance. ]

I'm not sure... I was jogging the other morning, and got hit with a dizzy spell. [ she frowns. ] Before I knew it, my entire appearance had changed. And I suppose...I look like Roxas, now.

[pure_radiantics]

It is me... somehow...

[ She twines some of her hair in her clawed paws. She looks a little sad too, echoing Pyrrha's sentiments. ]

We felt the same way... feeling dizzy, and then something happened! I wonder why Roxas... and which Roxas... I can't really tell the difference, unfortunately, with you dressed like that.

[ She quirks her brows in thought. ]

[incinerators]

Which Roxas? There's...more than one?

[ ??? okay, that she hadn't realized. ]

[pure_radiantics]

Oh! You didn't know? Uhm... yeah! There are! And they both went by Roxas too... at least some others I knew with similar features like that went by different names, like regular twins do.

The other Roxas, he normally walks around in a black cloak with the hood pulled up. And he's really quiet... more than the Roxas I knew, at least.

[ She knows that doesn't exactly explain things, but it's the best she can do. ]
