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~
sleepingknight: ([Embarrassed] the hope that)

Because becoming a giant dragon is the stuff of dreams Yuto.

"Mm! I ran into him when aaaaaaaaaall the ayakashi were everywhere!" It helps that he's a bit hard to miss. "He mentioned you, but to be honest, I was so busy trying to fight, I sorta forgot until just now! Sorry, sorry!"

She's only mildly embarrassed about it all. It's an honest mistake!

It was never his dream. Or maybe he just doesn't remember... Ah, no. It definitely was never his dream to become a dragon.

"Don't worry about it. With everything that's been happening, it's only for the best that you are focused on fighting the enemy." he sounds very serious when he says that.

Besides, she didn't actually attack him, so he doesn't have a reason to blame her for anything.
sleepingknight: ([Hey!] gentle wind)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-03 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yuto we need to teach you how to lighten up.

"Right! I can't kill any ayakashi on my own, but I'm still good with swords." For some reason. She's not giving it too much thought, really. "Even if I can't get rid of them for good, I can at least disable them and slow them down for people who can!"
darkduelist: (ねえ! その心を貸してよ)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-04 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Teaching him how to lighten up will be quite a challenge.

Yuto glances at her and nods his head lightly.

"Good." And then after a moment of thought he asks: "What is your vessel form?"

Perhaps her vessel is a sword? That thought crossed Yuto's mind only since Yuuki said she was good with those. Though, thinking more about it, if there is a connection between the shinki and their vessel form then why in the world is Yuto a dragon?
sleepingknight: ([Confident] through the maze)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-05 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
"A one-handed sword!" Got it in one, Yuto. "Bo's used to fighting, so we make a good team!"

She doesn't mention that Bo even has healing power, which only makes them even more efficient for chewing through mobs of enemies. Maybe... not as efficient as a literal dragon, but still certainly impressive!
darkduelist: (ねえ! その心を貸してよ)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-05 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Yuto suddenly frowns somewhat sadly.

"That's good to hear." There's a small sigh that follows his words. It's good to know that Yuuki is getting along with her god. Yuto on the other hand has a lot of trouble in that regard.
sleepingknight: ([Curious] would be enough.)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-05 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
It's kind of amazing how expressive a dragon can be. She looks over curiously.

"Is something wrong?"
darkduelist: (ひとりきりのつもりだって)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-06 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's nothing." He answers almost right away. "Nothing important anyway." He corrects himself a moment later. But... probably nothing bad will happen if he complains about Vector a little.

"...I was just thinking about my own god."
sleepingknight: ([Serious] Holding a map)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-06 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Lay it on her, Yuto. Her own response is quick:

"They aren't mistreating you, are they?"

There's a quality to her voice that seems to say they'd better not.
darkduelist: (ねえ! その心を貸してよ)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-06 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, Yuuki. Yuto glances at her, then shakes his head lightly making a sound that's some sort of dragon-like sigh.

"No. We just don't seem to get along."

Well, at least he realizes that it's not only Vector's fault.
sleepingknight: ([Thinking] but I have no regrets)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-06 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Shinki should watch each others' backs, especially with all of them in the same boat. This is something she firmly believes.

Although she relaxes when she hears that, she still clearly sounds concerned.

"Why not? Do you just rub each other the wrong way?"
darkduelist: (ひとりきりのつもりだって)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-07 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
He doesn't respond right away.

"...Yes." And then, as if to explain he adds: "We just don't agree in some cases."

He pauses for a moment.

"When we first met he even suggested that I should find another god."

This is how much they don't agree with each other.
sleepingknight: ([Pout] is nowhere in sight)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-07 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, that about says it all, doesn't it? Her worry only seems to grow, judging by her voice. "Is it even possible for us to do that?"

She's sorta been under the impression that it'd be up to the gods, if anyone.
darkduelist: (ねえ! その心を貸してよ)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-07 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry so much about him, Yuuki.

"From what I heard it is an option. But I'm not going to leave Yuya alone with that guy."

He refuses to abandon his twin. And then he also refuses to give up.
sleepingknight: ([Thinking] but I have no regrets)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-08 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Hmmm." It's a pretty unconvinced sound. "Well... if anything comes up, just tell me, okay? We shinki should watch out for each other. I bet Bo will understand, too." She's an incredibly understanding goddess, really. Yuuki feels lucky to serve her.
darkduelist: (光すらささなくなって)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-10 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I know." He hesitates. It's very kind of her that she's worrying about him, but...

"Thank you, but I'll be fine." A pause. "We don't have to like each other to work together."

His job is to help Vector and make sure that he doesn't do anything bad. If they got along it would be easier, but he's not going to give up just because they don't like each other.
sleepingknight: ([Badfeels] could be seen)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-12 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Still... You're going to have to work with him for a long time, aren't you?" It's not like there's exactly a set end date for this shinki business. "Isn't it a bad sign if you're already having trouble?"
darkduelist: (look what love gave us)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-12 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He looks at her for a longer moment, eyes narrowing slightly.

"I'm not going to give up because of that." He states dryly.
sleepingknight: ([Request] even if it seems)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-13 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
She makes a face.

"I didn't say give up!" That's so against her code, she's actually a little disgusted at the thought. "But if you tell someone how you feel and they won't change even a little, it's a waste of time trying to make it work." Time that could be better spent with a better god, if he really could make the switch.
darkduelist: (Who's gonna fight for what's right?)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-17 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm not going to leave Yuya." Yuto repeats after a moment.

Though maybe even if Yuto's twin wasn't here he would still not give in. He is very serious about this whole "being an exemplar" thing and so, Yuto decided that it's his duty to keep Vector out of trouble.

So far he isn't exactly successful, but one day he will be.
sleepingknight: ([Thinking] but I have no regrets)

[personal profile] sleepingknight 2016-04-17 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... Okay, that's fair. If he's got to look after the other shinki too, she can see the concern.

"Does Yuya get along with him?"
darkduelist: (ひとりきりのつもりだって)

[personal profile] darkduelist 2016-04-18 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The dragon sighs.

"You could say that he's getting along with him better than I do."
