002 | Tokyo In Trouble

Who: Everyone!
What: Surprise! There's a disaster on the Near Shore.
When: Late at night (February 24, 2016) into mid-afternoon (February 25, 2016)
Where: The Meeting Hall of the Heavens AND various places around Tokyo
Summary: A nice little greeting for the new guests and an unpleasant surprise for the older ones~



A sudden, loud blast of noise persists throughout the entirety of the Heavens. It sounds much like a war horn of ancient times being played at a decibel that is meant to shake the very core of every being within its range. No matter how much you might try to block out the noise, it remains ringing in your ears deafeningly, and somehow you find yourself compelled towards the Meeting Hall - the place where you were first introduced to the Heavens and what you have gotten wrapped up in.

Anyone checking their phones will notice a large, bright red alert flashing at them - 'EMERGENCY! REPORT IMMEDIATELY!' It seems that the Heavens have taken to using modern technology for their messages as well.

Once you have reached the Meeting Hall, you will find that every wall has turned into a sort of television screen, displaying various streets and buildings in Tokyo, everyone one literally crawling with ayakashi both big and small. A voice that you recognize as Amaterasu's - though you would never be able to describe it properly - rings throughout the halls.

"We need your help, brave gods, loyal shinki. A rift the likes of which we have never dealt with has opened on the Near Shore. We must end the ayakashi who are harming our dear followers. Please come to our aid in this time of need."




Meeting Hall

The once garishly decorated Meeting Hall looks very much like the base of operations for an army at war. There are gods gearing up with shinki and man-made gear as well and plenty of gods and shinki saying prayers before they head out to battle. Everything you might need to make yourself feel safe during a fight has been provided, including every type of weaponry. But, of course, only shinki wielded by a god can actually destroy an ayakashi.

Counselling

In the main hallway, there is an innocuous door with a small, nicely written sign that reads "Gentle Counselling". Inside the door is a small room with a few sweetly smiling shinki inside who are willing to listen to your problems and answer any questions you might have. They are also here to help out any gods that are having a hard time dealing with knowing about how their shinki died and any shinki that is having trouble coming to terms with the fact that they are dead.

February 24

The rift that has opened is so vast that there is literally nowhere in Tokyo that you can go without encountering a rampaging group of ayakashi. Everything is utter chaos and there are creatures everywhere for you to fight. Let's just hope that you can get out of this dangerous battlefront mostly unscathed.

February 25

Towards the middle of the day, it will seem that the ayakashi are becoming fewer and further between. Things seem to be calming down a lot, though they are nowhere near normal yet, especially since the rift is taking longer to close than the Heavens would like. Fortunately, no new ayakashi have escaped into the Near Shore from the rift since this morning, due to a barrier that has been placed around it. Still, the ayakashi seem to be really hell-bent on getting away from you all now rather than fighting...



In Summary:
  • There are a ton of ayakashi on the Near Shore that need to be destroyed.
  • The newbies are getting one hell of a welcome as a result.
  • Seek counselling if you need it!
  • Go kick some evil ass.
  • Comment to the first thread to get a randomly generated number of ayakashi to face.
  • Mods will gladly play out any ayakashi interactions where requested.
  • Try not to get killed~

Yuuki wasn't the only one in her element: Bo was in hers as well. One of her realms was war, after all, and this was definitely a war. Bo had fought in a few wars before, but this was a bit different than those. But this was still very much a fight for life. So Bo kept moving, attacking with her sword. She'd lost track of Yuuki, visually anyway, she moved way too fast. Plus Bo was a bit distracted doing her own fighting. She was focused on the task at hand, not letting anything distract her in any way.

However, she could tell that Yuuki was in her element. Good, she needed that focus right now.

Slashing at an ayakashi, she glanced over to Yuuki. "Yeah, but I need your vessel form to do it." Bo was a little nervous about Yuuki transforming into her vessel form if only because that wasn't something she'd had experience with before. She would certainly not do anything other than use it to destroy the ayakashi. But they at least had some lined up that they could get rid of.

"We can do this!" Her voice is confident. Not quite cheerful, but enthusiastic.

"Call my name! C'mon, let's get rid of these guys for once and for all!"

She hovers over Bo, sheathing her sword in preparation. She's heard the gist of what becoming a vessel entails, but she's never actually gone through it before - if her sword happens to fall, it wouldn't do for its blade to be bare.

The response was one that she took to heart. She needed the confidence reminder, that they could do this. Not that she'd lost hope or anything like that, but she definitely just needed a boost right now. Fighting was exhausting, and she wasn't at full power as it was. She hadn't fed since her arrival here, and she was going to need a hit of chi soon to get back to normal strength.

Especially after a battle like this.

Taking in a breath, Bo quickly sheathed her sword. She wouldn't be needing it once Yuuki was in her vessel form.

"Minki!" Bo held up her right hand, ready to receive Yuuki's vessel form.

Bo will find herself catching a violet blade, weighty enough to have balance, and yet light enough to wield in a single hand without being too cumbersome. The type of sword that would easily grant both speed and strength without sacrificing too much of one or the other.

She'll also hear a very familiar voice echoing in her head.

"Ooooh, so this is what it's like!" Kind of dark, and kind of strange - she can still sense things even though her body has become an inanimate object, but it's definitely different from how she normally senses things, and it'll take some getting used to.

But she's still raring to go, and it shows when she speaks up:

"Ready when you are!"

And upon catching the sword, Bo had to look it over. It was a beautiful sword, and the color of the blade was amazing as well.

"I don't mean to make this sound weird, but holy shit you make a beautiful sword," she praised. Yes, Bo liked her sharp and pointy weapons. So she could certainly appreciate a good sword when she saw one. Even if it was really weird thinking of Yuuki physically being the sword.

But right, they had more important things to do. Bo gripped the hilt tightly in her hand and charged the ayakashi. She readied the sword.

"I, Freyja, will lay waste to your kind, and expel your defilement!" She then cut through the head of the ayakashi, effectively splitting it in two, and it was destroyed. Bo had to gaze at it in wonder. "Holy shit, that was amazing."

"Heheheh-!"

If anything, she just seems proud to hear that. But it's a short laugh, and after that she focuses on the ayakashi they're in the middle of fighting. Most of them are - well, not hurting per se, but definitely slowed down thanks to the damage Yuuki was able to do earlier. It makes them easy pickings now that Bo has her in her vessel form.

"Piece of cake! We can take these guys down, easy!"
