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~

"Plenty." A shadow falls on her before Vector's cloaked shape emerges from what seems to be a rippling sparkle of thin air. His featureless face regards her silently for a moment as he stands too still.

"You prefer swords?" Finally moving, he twists his upper body lightly to look at something to his side and behind him. "There are other kinds of weapons too."
sleepingknight: ([Curious] that accepts me)

Oh, hi there. She doesn't actually seem too concerned about his sudden appearance; only mildly curious at most.

"Mm, yup! I don't know why, but I know how to use them really well!" There's no lack of confidence here, that's for sure. "Why, do you have any suggestions?"
jyajyaaan: (there they fly)

[personal profile] jyajyaaan 2016-03-31 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"You don't know why?" He seems to raise an eyebrow as he tilts his head in curious bemusement. How ...unusual.

Directing his attention back at the weapons, he nods. "Take a firearm or a grenade or two, too. Light or noise should work perfectly and come in handy if you ever find yourself in a pinch." They also don't have to kill to be effective.
sleepingknight: ([Thinking] but I have no regrets)

"I'm a shinki! I can't remember." She says this with a smile. Honestly, the whole amnesia thing doesn't really bother her - or rather, she's not letting it bother her.

"A firearm-- you mean like a gun?" That's what gets her frowning a bit. "Hmm... I dunno. It looks like there's a lot of them out there... will that really be enough?"

Because apparently a sword is?
jyajyaaan: (seriously-!)

[personal profile] jyajyaaan 2016-04-03 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"A shinki?" The surprise was clear as day on his face. "Why are you even looking for arms if you're a shinki? That's your god's job."

Speaking of it, he turned around expecting to see said god anywhere nearby. "Where are they anyway?"
sleepingknight: ([Surprise] pile up)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-03 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well... if we get separated, I still need to be able to protect myself, right?" Obviously. "I don't want to be totally useless if I can't get to her."

Even if her primary function is as her god's weapon, she can still do a few things on her own!

"She's here, too! She knows I'm looking for a weapon, so we'll meet up before we leave."
jyajyaaan: (there they fly)

[personal profile] jyajyaaan 2016-04-04 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"Hmmmm," there's no denying that. "You have a point. But do you have any pockets you can carry those weapons in when you change into your shinki form?"

He could see Yuya and Yuto pull it off by slinging some satchels over their shoulders, but normal shinki were supposed to be weapons, right? A sword carrying a sword wont work out.
sleepingknight: ([Thinking] but I have no regrets)

"As long as it's sheathed, it should be fine, right?" Unless her clothes don't follow her when she transforms-?! How does this vessel thing work.

"Well, even if it doesn't, I can just leave it on the ground 'till I'm back."
jyajyaaan: (Default)

"-and risk losing it or having your god trip over it?", he shook his head. "This really is no good idea. Try it out when you aren't heading into a life or death battle."

More importantly. "How would you even make sure nobody carries it off while you aren't looking?"
sleepingknight: ([Concentrate] of the journey)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-06 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She actually looks mildly insulted at that suggestion.]

Bo knows her way around a fight. She isn't going to trip over something like that.

[Don't go insulting her goddess!!]

And who would go around looking for swords to steal in the middle of a big attack like this? If anyone picked it up, it'd probably be to protect themselves - grabbing a sword like this would just weigh them down in the middle of a bunch of monsters.
jyajyaaan: (hmmmmm~)

[personal profile] jyajyaaan 2016-04-07 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Mmmmmmh, I don't know~~" He put an oh so thoughtful finger against his cheek.

"Maybe the one who opened that hole and let all those monsters out as a distraction?"
sleepingknight: ([Surprise] pile up)

I can totally remember format

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-07 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Congrats Vector, you've finally stopped her in her tracks.

"Huh? Distraction?"
jyajyaaan: (joker or ace of hearts?)

[personal profile] jyajyaaan 2016-04-07 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"Of course." Dropping his antics, he regarded her with a serious look instead.

"You don't really think something this convenient and out there happens all of a sudden just because? There should be no way such a big gateway just opens up like that without any prior signs of activity!" He makes a gesture with his hand, pointing toward the big screen. "-and at such a convenient location, at that. Think about it, there's no way the forces of Heaven could ignore such a thing."

Which they weren't. Everybody was focused on getting things done and heading out, which meant that there was a lot less security and attention for other things around. If this were an assault of one of his comrades, this would be the point when they would strike.

Look, she's a smart kid, but tactics like that aren't really her forte.

"...Why do something like this, though?" The potential for damage and casualties was tremendous. She's got plenty of confidence in her own abilities, but she can't speak for all other shinki or gods.

"Causing a huge battle like this just for some swords is way too much! Besides, who could even plan for something like this, anyway?"

Unless there's some power out there that she doesn't know of with control over ayakashi...
