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~

And those are a bunch of names he doesn't really know how to say properly, so he picks the easiest one.] It's nice to meet you too, Elsa-sama.
[But, oh, this is a subject he's definitely glad to talk about. A smile blooms across his face, and he straightens up, nodding happily.]
I like it a lot! Commander-kun is very nice and strong and she doesn't get mad at me when I don't understand things like computers or guns. [What is modernity, can you eat it?] I like being useful to her, being able to serve her and protect her... I'm her shinki, so I want to do whatever I can to take care of her and make sure she's happy.
[Other types of tsukumogami--other swords, even, aren't nearly so obsessively devoted as Yamato is. But he's always been loyal to an extreme, and while part of that is influence from his former master, a lot of it is simply Yamato being... Yamato.]
"what is modernity, can you eat it?" i'm dead that's so cute
He doesn't, though, and that's perfect, especially since his answer is clearly sincere. The relationship between Yamato and his god seems normal enough until he gets to the bit about usefulness, servitude, protection -- it sounds so much like her period of ... slavery, really. She hides her discomfort behind a look of scientific interest, and then she glances over at Shaki, who is, as she expects, watching one of the feeds of the destruction with disinterest.
When Yamato is done, she smiles at him and nods.] Thank you for that, it's very helpful. I'll be sure to sit down and talk with my shinki once this is all over. I'd like for us to trust each other, you know? To protect each other.
HE TRIES kind of not really
[Naturally! Yamato gives her shinki a rather concerned look, but he gets soundly ignored, so he doesn't bother trying to engage in conversation. Instead, he turns back to Elsa.]
You're a new god, right? I'm a new shinki. The other shinki who arrived with me seemed uncomfortable for a little while too, but I think they're okay now. [He hasn't really kept close tabs on them, but nothing's exploded yet, so that's probably a good sign?? And Yamato has a hard time imagining anyone being unhappy as a shinki, so...] Do you know Yukine-kun? He's the shinki senpai, you could speak to him for advice too. He's very small but he's a good shinki.
[Drink more milk Yukine, how long is Yams gonna have to worry about your skinny arms??]
no subject
Yes, I think all of us new arrivals are still adjusting. [To say the least.] I'll keep an eye out for Yukine. Maybe my shinki just needs friends.
[That's... something shinki are allowed, right? Friends?] I'm sure it'll all settle out in time. And after the ayakashi are cleared out.
no subject
[Yamato doesn't really know! It seems to him like all a shinki needs is a good god, but maybe he just lucked out. It is a little lonely sometimes, admittedly-like he's missing something, someone important. But it's just a feeling, and one he doesn't know what to make of, so he tries not to worry about it too much.
Either way, she's right. They have more important things to worry about right now.]
Maybe your shinki is just eager to fight, like me. [A smile! Who wouldn't be excited for that?] Do you think we'll be able to go soon? I hope so. My first fight with an ayakashi didn't go very well, but I think we'll be better this time.
no subject
Elsa just has so many questions, and not enough time to have them answered before she must dive into the fray.]
You're right. I'm just a little confused because of how new this is. He'll probably be fine once we start fighting ayakashi. [She returns the smile, though Elsa's is a bit more subdued.] I'm sure we will. I'm sorry to hear about your first fight. But as long as you've worked on your skills since then, I'm positive you'll do great this time.
