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~

[Yuto stares at the pieces of paper with a raised brow.]

Is this how you're preparing for battle?

[How can writing on a piece of paper help in anything?]
sweetdeath: (roguish grin)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-03-28 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
It sure is! Ever seen these before?

[He picks up one of the ones whose ink has finished drying and hands it over for Yuto to inspect.]

They're used as focuses for casting spells.
darkduelist: (And I know that I can survive)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-03-28 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't.

[Yuto takes the piece of paper and for a longer moment inspects it with curiosity. Then he looks at the other once more.]

What kind of spells?
sweetdeath: (cheerful chat)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-04-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Depends on the writing! That one you've got there is for casting a ward -- basically, it prevents evil spirits from crossing it. I'm gonna test it against the ayakashi and see if it'll hold them off.

[The wards aren't invulnerable -- Tsuzuki's not sure if they'll hold up under an ayakashi attack at all, and he's not going to bet on them against a big one even if they do -- but they could help even the odds for him and Hisoka. It sounds like things are bad down there. Every little bit could count.]
darkduelist: (ねえ! その心を貸してよ)

[Yuto examines the spell for a moment longer, before he gives it back to the man.]

I don't know much about magic, but it's definitely worth giving a try.

sweetdeath: (ahahaha oops!)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-04-04 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, if these don't work I'm out of ideas! [He laughs, a little embarrassed, and sets the ofuda back with the other wards.]

Anyway, nice to meet you. I don't think we've met, have we? -- I'm Tsuzuki! Asato Tsuzuki.
darkduelist: (ねえ! その心を貸してよ)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-05 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
If it doesn't work then you'll just have to find a different way to fight. [Simple as that.] If you're a god, it shouldn't be hard. [If you're a shinki, it shouldn't be either, right?]

...And I'm Yuto. It's... nice to meet you as well.
sweetdeath: (mirth unfelt)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-04-06 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, except I never learned any martial arts!

[And Hisoka's not a weapon, anyway.]

Hey, it'll work out, though. What about you? Are you ready for the fight?
darkduelist: (ひとりきりのつもりだって)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-06 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuto blinks.]

But if you're a god you have a shinki, right?

[He stands straighter, showing confidence.]

But as for my self... I have to be ready. [They have to win this fight.]
sweetdeath: (friendship and flowers)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-04-06 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah. -- Actually he's pretty good with all the traditional stuff! I should get him to show me a trick or two sometime.

You'll be fine.

But, uh, don't push yourself too hard, okay?

[Okay, so it's a contradiction, but this is the first fight for a lot of them -- especially for the shinki, since they don't remember what they've done before. Tsuzuki doesn't want anyone getting hurt because they bit off a little more than they were ready to chew.]
darkduelist: (And they say that a hero could save us)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-07 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what I meant... Shinki turn into weapons, right?

[Okay, not all, but dragons are dangerous, too.

As for the other part, Yuto responds in a serious tone:]


I will do what has to be done.

[No matter what.]
sweetdeath: (Default)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-04-07 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Shinki turn into all kinds of things!

[Some of them, like Hisoka for example, turn into good-luck charms. Which are something Tsuzuki really needs more of in his life, but they aren't a very good offensive weapon.]

Seriously, though, there are a lot of us. Yell for help if things get dicey.
darkduelist: (Who's gonna fight for what's right?)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-10 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm aware of that... I can turn into a dragon.

[So he's assuming all things that shinki turn into can fight or be used in battle.]

I assure you I'll be okay. I'm not alone.

[Not because there are a lot of them here, but because he has Yuya and their god. He depends on Yuya more though.]
sweetdeath: (brb restarting)

[personal profile] sweetdeath 2016-04-11 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, a dragon? Seriously?

[Tsuzuki stares. So there's Bishamon's shinki who turns into a lion, sure, but a dragon just seems so much cooler. If he's anything like Sohryuu's size, Tsuzuki suspects he doesn't need to worry about this kid in battle.]

Okay! I guess I'll see you around, then, huh?
darkduelist: (I've gotta fight today)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-12 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That's correct.

[He doesn't sound like it's something impressive. If anything being a dragon can be quiet troublesome.

Yuto gives him a small nod.]


I suppose so.
