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~

[Revenge? He tilts his head in consideration of that option but then shakes it.]

I doubt it. Neither of them is a Galaxy Eyes, and those are the only dragons I can think of that'd have a reason for holding a grudge against me if they're petty.

[Well, there's also HeartEarth 1 and 2, but a little stealing and possession would hardly be considered revenge-worthy, right? ChaosChimera was his own bad call getting him in the team, that one and any other.. Nope, he can't think of one.]

...Thinking of it, make that only Tachyon. I can't think of a reason why Photon'd be after me either, since I had nothing to do with whatever happened to its owner.

I lost them because they ran off chasing after two different ayakashi like badly trained dogs.

Tachyon and Photon, huh... [Those sure do sound like Link Joker units! But as Link Joker is supposed to be okay now and they're probably not Link Joker anyway since Photon isn't a dragon...moving on.]

Sounds like they're just eager to do their jobs. That seems admirable.
jyajyaaan: (oh please)

Not when they haven't actually figured out how to use their body or kill any of their enemies yet.

[His voice carries a strong undertone of 'oh god why'.]

If I don't find them soon they'll get bullied by crabs again.

Oh, then maybe they ran off to learn so they can surprise you later!

[Yep, that's definitely it, it's definitely not because Vector doesn't seem to like them and so there's probably more to this story than all that.]

But...if you're so worried about them, shouldn't you have followed after one of them? Then one of them might not be lost.
jyajyaaan: (seriously-!)

[personal profile] jyajyaaan 2016-04-14 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah sure.]

I doubt it. I was- gkh! [Making a step forward turns out to be a bad idea when he stops and clenches his side. Yuya had done a real great job breaking his rib there...!]

I'm... looking for them already. Just checking in on anybody else who seems to be as clueless at them.

[Oooh, Vector is definitely getting another of his patented pouts for that clueless comment.

But pouting is about the only reaction he gets for it, because, well...he kind of is, and Vector is injured. so.

Well, I haven't seen any dragons today. But I could help you look for them. I'm almost done here.
