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~

[Hajime also takes the chance to get a closer look. She doesn't bother trying to hide her curiousness as she leans even closer to get a look at the blight. She's never seen a color like that on someone's skin before. That's not good!]

It looks so angry...

[The purplish color that is. She lifts her hand to touch but stops, something deep inside warning her against it. This isn't like anything she's seen before but she knows its not good. Maybe it was a god thing? Who knows. Whatever it is, they need to take care of it. She doesn't want anything happen to her new friend.]

Susu-san, we should get this looked at first, okay? I think it's spreading. You're super strong and everything but let's take care of this.

[Her hands clap together. Idea!]

Let's go back to that Meeting hall place! I bet someone there knows something! Get this fixed up, water and then we can get back to it! The Ayakashi will think they've got us on the run, then we'll pop back in and you can go BANG! BANG! BOOOM!

[She even makes gun firing motions with her fingers to each 'BANG' before throwing her hands upwards]

They'll be super surprised!

[ Minamimoto bristles at her enthusiastic idea, baring his teeth in a snarl that he intends to look threatening. (In reality, it's probably more petulant than anything.) He holds out a hand on front of him, curling it into a fist as he makes a frustrated sound. In distinct counterpoint to the blight, the blackness of his taboo corruption starts to crawl along his skin as if it could consume and blot out the painful purple marks. ]

I don't need help from a bunch of zeros. [ His glare transfers over to her.

While the spread of his tattoos obscure the boundaries of the blight somewhat, he's not succeeding in wiping it out. Static flickers briefly like noise in an analog video, and there's even a brief moment where something like the silhouette of a horned lion might even be visible.

But there's still no progress, and he's just ramping up for no reason when he realizes belatedly that he should be catching his breath.
] Son of a digit.

[ He doesn't want to retreat even briefly, but she might have a point. ]

[The glaring and snarling virtually have no effect on her. She doesn't back down or look away. Just smiles and lets him talk. Susu was stubborn and had a pride to upheld. She had only just met him but that much was clear and doing anything to push that down would no doubt lead to him snapping a bit. It really isn't that surprising but what is, is that tattoo.

Hajime watches in awe as she watches the dark tattoos crawl along. It's really cool! And...kinda gross, but still cool! Although she had already decided, this just furthers her thoughts of there being much more to Susu.]


Suuuuuusuuuuu-sannnnn! [Now her cheeks puff out with air as she pouts a bit]

Look at me. I'm right here next to you! C'mon, it'll be super quick. You poof around zetta fast already right? Right! No time will be wasted if we go there zetta fast, fix up and come back!

[ Enjoy this simulation of what it'd be like to take a feral cat to the vet if only cats could speak. Hajime does manage to get his attention again, but it takes a moment for him to settle on a retort. Belatedly, he realizes that he hasn't even phased her. ]

First outer, inner last. I've got time. [ Except he doesn't, and he is distinctly alarmed by the dawning realization that he'd pushed too far. The effort to get back to his feet so he might storm off is enough to make him realize "inner last" might just start to sneak up on him. This is no state to be in if he wants to really commit to erasing every ayakashi in his path.

If there's an easy fix, they might as well go for it. It's not like he's giving in when the math pans out like that. He reaches for her with his unblighted hand without even thinking to explain his change in plans.
] C'mon. It'd better be a zetta quick fix.

[Hajime waits patiently for him to decide what to do. She's all for supporting Susano'o in what he wants to do but heath and wellbeing comes first and formost. She's laid out a course of action. It's up for him to take it. Worse case, she can't force him. Not without her NOTE, anyway. Besides, it's important for Susano'o to do it his own way. Using force wouldn't go well on him and she really doesn't want to have to do that. If anything, she would probably have to wait until he couldn't move or possibly passed out. Again, another road she doesn't want to take if she can avoid it.

She perks at the hand reaching out for her, her smile perking up at the edges. Susano'o doesn't have to explain! His actions speak louder.]


Roger!

[Before he can grab her, Hajime takes his hand with her own eagerly. This girl is way too trusting of someone she just met and that more or less used her as bait.]

Let's go!

[ What the factor-

Minamimoto stares, nonplussed, at the hand that ends up in his own. He'd just intended on snatching her up before teleporting, but this worked too. He grunts an assent, gripping her hand tight so he can drag her along when he shifts spatial coordinates. Teleportation is as natural as breathing to him after his time in the UG, but it was a little different to conceive bringing other people along.

After one interim stop, he'll get them to their destination. Minamimoto mutters a name under his breath as he pulls away. When a startled boy in a brand new hoodie and torn jeans appears, Sho glances sidelong at his bait. The shinki starts to say something, but he's cut off by his master.
]

You wanted to fix this. You figure it out. Take Picowatt if you want.

[ In short, he can't go around asking for help and intends on lurking grumpily in the background. ]
