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~

[ Hisoka's not anywhere near okay at first, not with that alarming feedback loop of emotion, but the realization that Tsuzuki had come back for him pushes the fear back. It recedes under a wash of relief because he'd come back, just like he'd said he would, just like Hisoka had hoped. He holds his other arm awkwardly, and close to himself. It's an injury earned during his hard landing, one he's willing to push past, and he forces himself to take Tsuzuki's hand to get back up. ]

Yeah. [ He doesn't have time for not being okay. The woman Tsuzuki had brought along to help is truly amazing, and he has to force himself not to be distracted. That's what a god should be with their shinki. A quick, firm "line" allows him to draw a boundary to limit the approach of ayakashi, but it's not his best work after all that effort. Then, louder, ] Most are here, but a few broke for the trees when it all came down.

[ He hadn't seen them do it, but he could sense them. He doesn't know if that makes up for the fact that he'd botched the one thing he'd offered to do. ]

SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG!

Gaiki! Suuki!

[ With that, said broadsword is replaced by a revolver and a pistol. She returns to where Kuraha had landed, staying near Tsuzuki and Hisoka before opening fire to take out the smaller ayakashi that had attempted to make a run for it. Better to lessen their number now to prevent the bigger ones from absorbing them and getting bigger.

As she does, she glances over her shoulder to make sure the two are alright. ]


You did very well containing these ayakashi. This makes it easier than chasing them around town.

[Tsuzuki tosses a handful of ofuda that warp into leaping, foggy beasts, backing up Hisoka's borderline and nipping at the smaller ayakashi to keep them away from cover while Bishamon wipes the last of them out. Then, with the colder expression melting off his face like frost over a blaze of worry, he turns back to Hisoka and reaches for his arm -- with his blighted hand, first, before he sees the weird blemish on it and stops mid-reach.

He feels an instinctive revulsion at the mark, as if he'd dipped his hand in sewage. He's not about to get near Hisoka's injury with it until he's cleaned it off, somehow.]


Sorry I took so long. -- Your arm...

[He hasn't tried it yet, but they'd told him something about a new divine power when he got here. Healing, right? He hesitates, for now. If Hisoka's just bruised he's not going to want Tsuzuki to make too much of a fuss about it, but the way he's holding his arm close and trying not to move it makes Tsuzuki worry.]
