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~

[After recovering from the impact, Yuya gives the ayakashi one more whack with his tail for good measure. Just to make sure it's down for awhile since he's not a good.]

Eheheh, it's no problem! [He's gotten the hang of being a dragon now, so at least it wasn't a clumsy maneuver.]

You're a god, right? Would you mind making it disappear for me? My god's not around. [Even though he somehow has a good idea where Vector is.]

Oh. Of course.

[ Thankfully, said ayakashi is still reeling from the tail thwack so that makes it easy prey. She's descended from Kuraha, the lion on standby near this dragon as she approaches it. ]

Saiki!

[ And with that, a giant broadsword appears in her hand. ]
dominatriarch: ([...] | To hell with all this blame)

[ And now for a standard garden-variety banishment. With that, she raises the broadsword up (a surprising feat considering how large it is). ]

This is the land of the rising sun
Your desecration shall not be allowed
Hear me, I am the god Bishamon
I now lay thee waste with the Saiki
And expel thy vast defilement
I cleanse thee!


[ There's a quick leap before she brings the sword crashing down. ]

Ruin!

[ And the moment she lands, the broadsword is back to rest on her shoulder and the ayakashi has "exploded". With her job done, she turns her attention back to the dragon. ]

I suppose that will do. Your name?

[Meanwhile, Yuya's ooh-ing and ahh-ing at the explosion of light. Who knew the ayakashi could be so pretty!]

Wow, so cool! [Now reigning in his attention toward Bishamon as she approaches, Yuya sort of laughs through his telepathic voice before lowering his head down to her height. This is as close he can get to smiling in his dragon form.]

It's Yuya. Or do you mean my weapon name?
dominatriarch: ([<3] | If you could take my hand)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2016-04-01 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
No... that will do.

[ There don't seem to be any other ayakashi in the area so... she's just gonna allow herself this moment to get acquainted with this shinki. After all, seeing a dragon is a rare sight. ]

Aside from Kuraha, it isn't often that gods wield shinki that have animal forms. Did you just arrive?
