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~

[ It's not like there's anything wrong with having persistent, obsessive fantasies about remaking the world in a way that complies with one's own aesthetic. To his credit, Sho would have accepted doing so to Shibuya alone until he'd gotten this particular upgrade. ]

Someone's gotta attenuate the noise, and Sis asked so nicely. [ The diminutive for Amaterasu is going to stick around, it seems. He idly cracks his knuckles. ] Looks fun, doesn't it?

Yeah, I guess.

[Fun isn't the word Tsuzuki would've used. On the other hand, he's starting to get really nervous about the prospect of arguing with this guy.]

So we might see each other down there! Good luck.

Shibuya's my turf, but my domain's unbounded. Maybe I'll look you up. [ He's being almost friendly now, if one measured him on a scale for feral alley cats. He tucks his thumbs in his belt loops as he steps back. ]

You can show me how your arts and crafts project goes.

[ And Sho would get a chance to show off how utterly superior he was in front of an audience. Win/win. ]

[Somehow, Tsuzuki would feel way more comfortable about this guy if his domain did have boundaries. Nice, safe ones. With guards.]

Y-yeah, sure! I'll, uh, I'll keep an eye out for you.
piphilologize: (pleased)

[ With that, Sho vanishes in a strange static blip without a goodbye.

Minamimoto's shinki finally gains a little more liveliness, but only to look around for his master. Only when he sees where Sho had reappeared does he turn to Tsuzuki and wave, murmuring a too-quiet, "Have a safe trip."

And then the ignominiously nicknamed Picowatt darts off, because it's t-minus five seconds before his god's going to get angry that he didn't keep up.
