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~

We're doing ok! I found clothes for Romeo when he grew big and he grabbed a set of clothes for me so we'd be covered up.

[unlucky7]

Glad to hear.

[Ginia pauses to shift the umbrella. It wouldn't be so bad where it a matter of being a vampire or a child. Both is proving a little annoying.]

Do you remember being suddenly dizzy on the 15th? Or hearing a noise on the 16th?

[alchemists]

I fell asleep at my desk while looking through a box of books that was donated recently to the temple, and I woke up like this.

[unlucky7]

[That doesn't help her theory, but it helps in the regard people didn't have to be awake or aware for the change to happen.]

The books must have been boring if they put you to sleep.

[alchemists]

Well to be honest I haven't gotten much sleep lately... so a boring book would be enough to make me doze off.

[unlucky7]

[Ginia is the last person to say anything about a lack of sleep, but worrying over other people is her thing.]

Something bothering you?

[alchemists]

I've been trying to get stronger lately so that Romeo wouldn't have to be the one doing all the work when we take on things that need fighting.

[unlucky7]

[Strength is such a tricky thing. Shinki want to protect their gods, gods want to protect their shinki. There's probably more weight on the god with such a young shinki.]

What kind of training are you looking for? Physical or more ability or tactical?

[alchemists]

A little bit of everything? I picked up using a pole-arm type weapon to give us better range but I'm still running into problems of not being able to keep up physically.

Too lazy to kid icon

[unlucky7]

Perhaps you should try training in stamina first? Light running or swimming is a good way to start.

[alchemists]

I've been trying to run more, but stamina is an issue, even if I run full speed or at a decent pace I can only hold out for a few minutes.

[unlucky7]

Do you get tired after walking for long periods or distances? Building stamina up with walking is an option too.

[alchemists]

I haven't really tried doing that, running seemed to be the fastest way to build stamina up.

[unlucky7]

It'll wear you out faster before you see any improvements. Take long walks and begin noticing when you get tired. Maybe it's thirty minutes in, maybe it's fifteen, maybe it's an hour. Set your baseline. Keep going on walks until that time no longer feels hard, then begin to work past it.

Once walking longer feels easier, then add in running for a few minutes at a time. Then gradually run another minute at a time.

[alchemists]

I wouldn't have thought to do that.

[ Since most of the training routines she had to help plan for Tsubasa and Chris were at much higher levels just the basics of trying to gain more stamina weren't really needed. ]

I'll need to write down a better routine plan.
