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~

[If there were a desk nearby, Yukine would probably be headdesking on it right now.]

Really?

[His tone is heavy as he regards the other shinki, but in the end he just sighs.]

Okay. Okay. You probably won't learn it in time for this fight, so just... do the best you can as his shinki, okay?

[He turns his attention back to the god.]

And please trust her and get along well. That's the best advice I can give you. ...That and, don't get in over your heads. [He points towards the screens, a stern look on his face.] Clearing up the small ones is important too, so don't you dare go and take on a big one.

[For some reason, Hana doesn't seem too concerned by all this. She just smiles again and agrees quietly that of course she will. He probably could have suggested murdering someone and she'd say okay.

For his part, Ren just looks bewildered that Yukine feels he needs to ask them to try to get along (why wouldn't you try to get along with your teammate?), until Yukine gestures at the screens and he's thoroughly directed by that again.

Well, we may not have a choice in the matter.

[Sorry, but this is the face of someone who is absolutely going to go pick a fight with something big if he can.]

But I'll keep that in mind. How dangerous are they?

['Bewilderment' is a new reaction to his advice...
But moving right along to matters of life and death-]


You do have a choice in the matter. Swallow your pride and run from the things that look like they'll eat you in one bite.

[His flat look turns a little more serious.]

Their influence is harmful, up to being fatal to humans. And to us, well, if they blighted us enough we'd die too.

[He's not 100% sure just how much blight that would take, but he doesn't really need someone to find out the hard way.]

[Whoops, now he just looks more interested. Why run from something that could kill you when you can cut it down instead?]

That dangerous, huh...

[Aaand if it was just him, he probably would end up in a lot of trouble going after them...but it isn't. He glances back at Hana and sighs.]

Well, I wouldn't want to put Hana-san in that much danger. Don't worry, Yukine-kun, we'll do our best to stay out of trouble.

...

[All the side-eyeing. Please don't look that interested and then say you'll stay out of trouble?
The atmosphere in the hall is shifting, getting louder and more energized. They'll probably be leaving soon. ]


Good. I'll hold you to that. I'll try to catch up with you more after this is all over.

[So with that he'll turn to take his leave.]
