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~

[There's a brief moment where Shepard looks like she wants to give chase. These ayakashi provide the perfect outlet to some of her pent up frustrations and maybe she takes a bit too much pleasure in taking them out. Guilt free moving target practice. But that would be rude.

Instead she pops the clip on her pistol, slots another into its place and sets about reloading the empty one]


So what you're saying is you would have preferred the drinks and cocktail party we got to this fun?

[The fallen ayakashi continue flutter pathetically before flopping back to the ground. She keeps her eyes half on them and half on Otegine and when one happens to stray to close she crushes it underfoot. The ayakashi of course.

Then she grins.]


I'm sure something can be arranged if you're still sore about that when we finish.

I like fighting just fine. More than parties really... besides, this is a god's duty, isn't it? Heard that much.

[ He's separated just enough from the godliness aspect to find the whole notion of gods partying nonstop to be a bit distasteful. Not that the short-lived greeting was at all bad, but it's less effective at making you in the mood when you're confused to what's going on.

Feeling a bit more motivated, he's going to a bit more proactive with the ayakashi slashing. No one likes falling behind, him especially. Of course a knife isn't as efficient a a gun, but with some focus the ayakashi start to be rend into pieces. ]


I'm not sure what I want to be arranged, but to not end up ayakashi birdfood is at the top of the wishlist for now.

Pretty sure this job is whatever you want to make of it. What are they going to do? Fire us? Gods can do no wrong, remember?

[With her clip reset she lifts her gun again. And just in time. The swarm beat a hasty retreat but some of them still hovered overhead like vulture, waiting just out of reach for a slip so they could be picked off. But now it's their turn. Aiming skyward, Shepard drops them with such precision that they rain down in a circle around them without ever hitting the gods themselves. Too easy really. She didn't even need to bother with cover.

If only Yamato hasn't gotten separated from her, she'd be making quick work of the carnage too.]


I think we can manage that though. I'll handle crowd control if you think you can pick off the rest
