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~

[ Yeah, no joking tone in all of that, and the whole spear thing might be true, but... It's all off. So far off, he didn't like it.

May as well see something... ]

Yeah, sure. You've said that enough, but after Archer gave you one, didn't you realize you had no luck or skill using it? It was something along those lines.

Ah, or maybe this is your weird way of asking for an energy boost to be able to maintain that for a while?

[ He'll even pull a hand back out to tap at his lips. It really wasn't that much of a stress, with how strong of a magician he already showed to be at that warehouse. ]

[curruid_coinchenn]

Even if I don't, I'd like to improve my use of it. Something let me have it, why not make sure I can use it?

[ Solid reasoning. ]

And no. I don't need your help with this, I want to manage it on my own.

[ Refusing help, the Berserker way. ]

[kuroi_taiyo]

'Something'?

[ So not Archer? Then again, he doesn't see that shinki vessel anywhere on Cu, and it's very hard to miss that pendant. Especially with the way those clothes were designed.

This was both in line with Cu, but so off as well. After everything... Well, he can tease, and if it's too far, he can be pulled into vessel form and tossed elsewhere. Or punched. Something like that. What's a little joke between magi and servant, right? Yet Judar's being very glib, or regular enough, that it sounds almost like a possibility. ]

... After how ready you usually are to take advantage of my body?

[curruid_coinchenn]

This place is weird, don't act so surprised.

[ That feels like a trap. Something about the way the question is phrased sets off a sense of unease. Berserker plays it off and gives a dismissive wave. ]

Tch , don't say things like that. You'll give people the wrong idea.

[ The annoyed, but teasing tone sounds almost forced, but he's trying his best not to fuck this up, okay? ]

[kuroi_taiyo]

I like giving people the wrong idea.

[ Really, for as 'off' as Caster seemed to be, and all these little traps that were being laid, it didn't seem that Judar was actually figuring out that the god was a different Cu that he'd seen before. ]

But even if it's for my energy, you're pretty fun to make out with. So I don't even mind giving people a show if you want to use everything that's at your disposal.
