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~

That's what the gods are supposed to figure out, right?

[Says the fairly petite girl with a sword hanging at her side. Her clothes are simple enough, though the pointed ears sticking out of her long purple hair may draw some looks. Or not, who knows, Hajime knows some pretty interesting people.]

[Hajime blinks and looks over to the girl---a really cute girl too! She takes a second to marvel at her appearance. Long purple hair, cute ears and piercing ruby red eyes. She's like a super cute heroine from a cool game! Hajime can't help but smile at her! The sword is also noted but Yuuki isn't the first person she's seen carrying a sword around. Especially since weapons being provided now.]

I'm sure as long as everyone does their best, everything will work out!
sleepingknight: ([Leader] that you've depicted)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-03-20 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[The grin she gives when she hears that could probably best be described as "impish." Which is appropriate, given her (technical) race.]

Heheh, right! It looks like a lot, but if they're all weak, I think we can make it through!

[The sword already feels comfortable in her hand, and though the number of ayakashi is daunting, she's confident she will be able to pull through alright. There's a lot of them, yes, but quantity didn't always mean power.]

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-03-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[Oh this girl has confidence to boot! The grin just makes her that much more cuter. It really suits her!]

I'm sure we can! Even if they're strong, we just have to be stronger!

[She pushes out her hand to Yuuki, smile growing by the second.]

I'm Hajime! Nice to meet you!
sleepingknight: ([Smile] Will surely reach)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-03-21 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[She takes that hand with a firm grip of her own!]

Nice to meet you! I'm Yuuki. Yuuki Konno!

[Yup, the video game-ish looking elf(???) girl has a totally Japanese name. Don't think about it too hard.]

Are you a shinki, too?
birdstheword: (✂ 193)

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-03-25 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuuki....Yuuuuki~♫! That's a cute name! It suits you!

[The firm grip is noted but Hajime doesn't bat an eye to it. Yuuki looks strong even with her small frame so her grip isn't that surprising. Hajime knows small packages can pack quite the punch. All the same, She bops their hands up and down and up and down, repeatedly. Maybe even a bit excessively. But there's good meaning to it. Hajime is just excited to meet her.]

I'm a god! But really I'm just me.
sleepingknight: ([Hey!] gentle wind)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-03-28 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

[Whether it does or not, she has no idea. It's a pretty flowery name, but it's also not like she really remembers anything about who she is, so...

She doesn't mind the bopping though, even contributing a bit herself. Aw yeah someone else who's enthusiastic!
]

A god-- how do you want me to refer to you, then?

[She doesn't seem cowed this time, at least. She's picked up that apparently some gods are just fine with staying casual, and Hajime already strikes her as the type. Still, it's good to be sure!]

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-03-29 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
[So the bopping of their hands continues!]

Oh! Hajime! I'm just Hajime!

[The answer comes out almost instantly, as if she didn't even have to think about it. God or not, she was just her and always would be. Nothing would ever change that. Still it's an interesting question that makes her tilt her head to the side curiously.]

Do I refer to you differently, Yuki-chan? I like your name though
sleepingknight: ([Smile] left behind until yesterday)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-03-29 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Hajime it is!

[And as for herself...]

You can call me whatever you want!

[She's a god, after all. She'll veto anything too dismissive, naturally, but she doesn't have any complaints with 'Yuuki-chan.']

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-03-31 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuuuuu~ki~-chan~ it is then!

[Each part gets dragged out into almost a sing-song tune. Her smile just gets bigger, seeming pretty pleased with that. Yuuki is a super cute girl with a super cute name. There's no reason to change it!]

You're really strong, right? You have a great handshake!
sleepingknight: ([Hey!] gentle wind)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-01 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Heeeh... I guess so! [Absolutely no humility here.] It looks like I used to know how to fight before I died, at least!
birdstheword: (✂ 216)

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-04-06 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's right. Someone said something about Shinki's and memories. But Yuuki seems like a determined and strong willed girl, no doubt she'll somehow get them back! Even though Hajime had only just met her, she's willing to bet on that much]

Maybe you were a hero! Heroes can fight, are strong and have a good heart. Like you! [She points to Yuuki, dramatically.]

Are you going to fight by yourself?
sleepingknight: ([Smile] left behind until yesterday)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-06 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
A hero? Hm, maybe, maybe!

[It's a thoughtful aound, but not a very convinced one. Mostly playing along.]

I won't be alone! I'll be with my goddess, Bo.
birdstheword: (✂ 193)

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-04-07 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hajime is willing to bet on it. If not a hero offically, a hero in heart.]

Bo? Oh that's good! I bet you two will do great. It's good to have someone have your back.
sleepingknight: ([Smile] Will surely reach)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-08 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Heroes are a much braver sort than her.]

Yeah! I know I can rely on her.

So you've already met?
