thenearshore | 38 - Power Palette Swap

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:

There is NO excuse for you being that hot and still the same age mentally.

[Zetta openly sulks. What a weird mess of a situation!]

It's not my fault, my body is modeled after Carol and she had an adult body like this. It's only natural that my body would look the same if I aged.

[ Clone bodies are just loads of fun. ]

I didn't say it was your fault! It just pisses me off. [For crude and selfish reasons!] I've seen less attractive succubi!

I don't really understand why it would make you angry?

Because you're incredibly physically hot, but it would be so wrong to do anything about that.

Well... I can try and avoid you till I'm back to normal if that helps?

That won't change anything! [Sighing, Zetta looks at Elfnein with a frown (and oddly little perversion for the moment).]

Now I wonder what you'll be like when you get older.

I would assume I would be mostly the same just with more experience and memories?

That counts for a lot! Experience can really change someone, especially at your age! So of course I wonder!

Wouldn't you just have to wait and see in that case?

That's why I WONDER! I'm allowed to wonder!

I suppose that is true, you are allowed to wonder what I'd be like in the future...

So there you go. Sheesh. [Zetta grumbles a bit, rather pointlessly.] Maybe turning hot will mess with your mind a little.

I don't really understand how it would mess with my mind, that's a physical change not a mental one.

You're going to have... power, let's say, over people. Attractiveness does that.

Isn't that just manipulation?

Depends. Some people can use it for that, by flaunting it. But sometimes you're just really hot and people react to that, not because of anything you do.

I really don't get it, but it's something adults have to deal with regularly. Sounds troublesome to be honest.

Well, you're not mentally at the point where you'd want people to notice you like that. When all that kicks in, you might think differently.

So, I just need to wait till I'm an adult in both mind and body.

Well, teenager anyway. You know, once you're less like you and more like... you know. [The apparent sex goddess she'll become. That is SO weird to think about.]

I think I understand what you're getting at.

Ugh, why has no one given you The Talk yet? [Seriously, why does he keep getting into these messes?]

The Talk? I don't really understand, what sort of talk would someone need to give me.

About... you know. Adult things.

[Books can sweat. Or at least this book can sweat.]
