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~

[His eyes narrow slightly when she's gaping at him, but he nods at her first words anyway.

And then she goes and introduces herself. And comments on his hair. Now it's Yuto's turn to blink as his gaze shifts first to her hand, then back to her face.]


...I'm Yuto. [He sounds a little caught off guard.] ...And thanks, I guess.

[...What's so cool about his hair he does not know. He doesn't do anything with it either. His hair has been like this for as long as he can remember. Even its color is natural!... Or at least he thinks so. He doesn't remember anything from the time when he was still alive, after all.]

[She holds her hand out to for awhile longer until she's sure he doesn't take it. Instead she claps her out stretched hand with her other hand and shakes them together. Giving herself a handshake in his stead]

Nice to meet you Yuto!

[Hajime's smile grows at that as she lowers her hands]

It's true! I've never seen someone with such cool hair. It suits you!
Oh! re you a God too? This is my first time at it.

[Now she's giving herself a handshake? What an... unusual girl.]

...It's nice to meet you as well.

[He doesn't smile, his expression remains a frown, although a smaller one than moments earlier.

So she's a god? At the question he shakes his head.]


I'm a shinki.

[She steps closer, leaning in towards him. Her face stops just inches from his as if she's trying to get a closer look. There really is no way to tell Shinki, Gods and just regular people apart. Aside from his super cool hair and interesting attire, Hajime wouldn't think he was different from any other school kid walking about. The same could be said about herself too. ]

Cool! You're the...second shinki I've met!

[Her smile just grows but at least she leans back so she's not so much in his personal space.]

Do you have really cool powers too?
darkduelist: (And they say that a hero could save us)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-03-29 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[When she gets closer, Yuto takes a step back. Obviously, he likes his personal space and does not like strangers invading it.]

You'll meet more shinki here. [There is quite a few of them here, after all. It's not like he's special.

He's frowning very deeply, eyes narrowing at her. That expression softens slightly only when she leans back.]


...Not really. I can... turn into a dragon.

[That may sound cool, but believe him, it isn't!]

[The frowning and eye narrowing doesn't seem to phase her in the slightest. She doesn't comment on it and her natural bright smile doesn't falter. Hajime just takes it as him 'just being how he is'. He's a new face. Someone she didn't know anything about! So his mannerisms will take sometime to get to know. He could just naturally have an intimating look but that said nothing about the person inside. There were just so many layers to someone... What sort of person was the Shinki, Yuto?]

I'm looking forward to it. Shinki or Gods.

[Hajime holds up a finger as she says each title before making a 'snipping' motion. Two beings that went hand and hand. But at the mention at turning to a dragon, she gapes a bit.]

Really?! Wooow! Oh! Oh! oh!

[Her hand shoots up into the air]

Yuto-san! I have a question! I want see you turn into a dragon sometime? It doesn't have to be now or even tomorrow---but sometime soon! I've never seen a real dragon before. You're really amazing~!
darkduelist: (ねえ! その心を貸してよ)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-04 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[The same goes for Yuto. Right now, Hajime appears to him as a strange girl, but this is probably just how she is. He has to get used to that, too.

He sighs somewhat heavily when she is so enthusiastic about seeing his dragon from.]


I suppose you will get to see it one day. [He shrugs a little.] If I wanted to show it to you, I couldn't. I can change only when my god calls my name.

[And more frowning.]

But just because I can change into a dragon doesn't mean I'm amazing. And dragons are big and can be dangerous. [Even without meaning to.

He still hasn't got used to his dragon form anyway.]

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-04-06 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Roger! Sometime soon then! When your God is around....Got it!

[She gives a quick salute. As far as she was concerned, that was a yes with just a few minor win conditions. She just had to be patient for all the key cards to be available and fall into place.]

And you're right! You're amazing by just being you! Even if you couldn't turn into an amazing dragon, Yuto-san, you'd still be just as amazing! It's just an extra bonus really! I don't think you're dangerous either. Dragon or no dragon. Sometimes, things just happen that no one can control, you know? It's what you do when that happens that really really counts!

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-10 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes...

[He gives her an uncertain look, before he lets a small sigh and closes his eyes.]

You don't even know anything about me.

[He doesn't understand why she's going on about how amazing he is.]

You're right. I don't know anything about you! --Aside from what you've told me, But I would like to know you better!

[The reply comes almost instantly, she just beams at him]

It'd be fun!
darkduelist: (look what love gave us)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-10 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She really is a strange girl. Yuto is looking at her for a moment, before he turns away.]

Maybe once the battle is over we'll get to talk more.

[He throws her a serious glace over his shoulder.]

Be careful out there.
birdstheword: (✂ 199)

[personal profile] birdstheword 2016-04-10 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I will and You got it! I'll keep an eye out for you, Yuto-san! Take care of yourself! Byebye!

[She waves enthusiastically to him. This definitely won't be the last they talk! ]
