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~

[ He hadn't seen that one coming. The kid gets a hand on him, really digging in, and Minamimoto glances at the sharp contrast of the pale hand on his dyed black wrist. Interesting aesthetic.

Bright yellow eyes shift to focus on the boy, catlike in their intensity. He could get out of the grip with his own brand of teleportation, but that'd require letting go. He tightens his grip on his shinki.
]

Looking to get that hand subtracted, radian?

[ For Sho, this is an impressive show of self-restraint. ]

[Yukine gets even angrier when he notices the god's grip tightening.]

Nope. Just lookin' for you to let your shinki walk. Heck, I'm sure he'll even run.

[The threat of getting his hand cut off on the spot is hard to take seriously, but... this guy does sound pretty serious. He's not phased though. He's stared down Bishamonten before.]

Heh. [ Geez, all this over a little rough handling of his own property. The heavens had given the shinki to him, so it seems like a reasonable conclusion that he can do with it what he wants.

But he likes the hard glint in the kid's eyes. If looks could kill, Sho would be in real trouble.
]

Heh heh heh, you're outta your vector, kid. [ He shifts slightly, dissolving into a static blur and reappearing a half step away. He has to snatch his shinki by the back of his collar to keep the oddly submissive boy from tripping, or maybe just to reassert his claim. He ignores a quiet "Susano'o-sama?" from Picowatt, talking over him. ] How about you run for me instead?
returnedfromtheline: (A; wow tough call- not)

Tch-

[Yukine makes a surprised, vexed sound when the god gets away from him like that. That's... not normal teleportation.
These new gods are damn weird.
But a sense of victory also lifts within him- he got the guy to let go of the shinki's hair. Yukine draws his now empty hand back with a bland look.]


No, thanks. I've already got an idiot I run for.

[He's probably summoned said idiot with those words. It'll be annoying if Yato shows up.]

So try takin' care of that one.

[If this is how he treats his shinki, he'll have a harder time keeping one than Yato.]

[ There's more than a hint of fang in Sho's grin. The kid is ballsy, and it's entertaining when set against the behavior of his own minion. ]

Too bad you're working for some zero. I'd give you a real reason to run.

[ And then he shrugs and starts to turn away, yanking Picowatt along by his clothes. ]
returnedfromtheline: (| start something)

[Yukine watches him go without further comment, although he lets out a long and slow breath.

That guy is really something else.]
