009 | Where Your Demons Hide

Who: Everyone!
What: Emergency demon fighting
When: Late May 5-Early May 6
Where: Just outside of Tokyo
Summary: The demon from the school has reared its ugly head again and needs to be taken down.



On the evening of May 5, the Heavens suddenly receive an influx of prayers from people in and around a certain town just outside of Tokyo. There seem to be a lot of people in the area that have suddenly stopped responding normally (or at all). The situation continues to spread as the night goes on until not only is the whole town suffering from this malady, but the neighboring towns are starting to become affected as well.

With so many gods and shinki on hand - including new ones that have just appeared - the Heavens have issued a request for any available gods and shinki to go investigate what might be happening down on the Near Shore. New gods and shinki will be given the low-down on what's happening, but not much more than that.

The situation will continue to expand until just a little before dawn, when the demon finally has enough power to revive.



Drained Humans

Many humans in the affected areas are walking around despondently. Oftentimes, they are just walking into things or getting hit by things. There have been a few car-related incidents as well. Anyone who was present for the high school incident will recognize these symptoms as something that was happening to people in the school. The glazed looks, the spiritless responses and reactions. So this should be fairly familiar to some.

No One's Safe

Unfortunately, being in the town will start to wear on anyone who is there. Gods and shinki alike will find themselves growing more despondent the longer they spend in the town. All of their energy will be slowly sapped from their bodies, and shinki in particular will feel almost like their existence is draining away.

Hellish Circle

There is a large park in the center of the town. Drawn all around this park is a magic circle, large enough to encompass the whole park. There are candles around the edges of the circle, and in the center there is a cup filled with blood covered by a mask with a swirling eye pattern on it. Stepping into this circle will not only make you extremely tired and suddenly drained, but it will also bring bat-like ayakashi bearing down on you.

The Demon

The Demon itself rears its ugly head just a little before dawn, springing out from the center of the magic circle and looking right pleased with itself. It stands about 5'8" tall, so it is largely unimposing, but there is an aura about it that makes it undeniable that it is powerful. The demon will gladly fight anyone who comes at it, though most he will just shove out of the way without a second thought.



In Summary:
  • Help the drained people
  • Try not to get drained yourself
  • Be careful about being corrupted
  • Fight the demon
  • Have fun~

[ ...??? ]

... Excuse me?

[ Once he's out of the magic draining circle, his energy slowly comes back to him but not fast enough to stop the mumblings - It's my body, my choice - which continues on for another 20 seconds before his eyes flutter open behind the visor. ]

Huh? What--

[ his helmet turns to look at her ]

Who are you?
prismbloom: (quit.)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-16 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
My name is Aqua.

[ Well... at least he seems to be somewhat lucid now? ]

Are you feeling alright now?
glazedonutholes: (PB: Why'd you hit me?)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-16 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Aqua?

[ A gloved hand comes up to his head. ]

Augh, what did I eat? I feel dizzy.
prismbloom: (ultima weapon)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-16 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

[ Oh, he's... really out of it, isn't he... ]

I'm not sure you ate anything. It's that circle--[ she motions to the thing ]--you entered it, and had an immediate reaction.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Are you okay?)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-16 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? [ He turns back to look at the magic circle. ] You mean that thing did this? It thought it was the bat monsters. [ He rubs at his head. ] Man, now I know why Grif was always so scared of them.

[ Because, even though they didn't drain him, they'd still been scary. Which reminds him - he turns back to face her. ]

Thanks, Miss. I sure do appreciate you saving me from those bats and pulling me out of that thing. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't come along.
prismbloom: (secret of neverland)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-28 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ Grif? Must be a friend. And the way he speaks... is he familiar with strange magic? ]

You're welcome--and, please, just Aqua is fine. I'm thankful you didn't get seriously injured. [ She pauses, and she looks pretty concerned now. Speaking of... ] Do you need any healing?
glazedonutholes: (Please!!!)

Aqua? [ He grins. ] Wow, awesome name. And Hey! It matches your hair! Where'd you get that awesome dye job?!
glazedonutholes: (PB: Are you okay?)

2/2

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-28 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ A pause. ]

Uhh... Healing?

[ He looks at her. ]

Are you like a medic or something or a doctor?
prismbloom: (keyblade of people's hearts)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-28 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thank y-- dye? No, no, this is my natural hair color.

[ She shakes her head. ]

I'm a mage. I can use my magic to heal you.
glazedonutholes: (Please!!!)

1/2

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-28 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
Natural?! But it's blue? That's not natural on any planet, well... except for the Vegas Quadrant. People there are pretty colorful. They've got red, and blue, and green and all sorts of whacky colors. It's awe-some!
glazedonutholes: (PB: Follow Me)

Mage?

[ Headtilt as he looks at her more closely and then-- ]

Oh! I get it!

You're one of those table-top chicks Simmons keeps swearing exists. Well, I guess Grif owes him $50 now.
prismbloom: (up down adventure)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-28 03:44 am (UTC)(link)
Are those really unusual hair colors?

[ She pauses.

... Donut. Donut. You literally saw her summon lightning from absolutely nowhere. ]


I really can use magic--it's what I've been trained in for years.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Popsicle)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-28 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Is that normal where your from? I mean, I bet there are loads of awesome salon tips I can get from a place with natural blues as part of the hair-color scheme~

[ Yup, and he was also almost killed by an incineration cannon that did more than summon lightning so he's still under the impression that she's doing it by some sort of armor enhancement just like all of Project Freelancers creations! Invisibility, temporal distortions, super speed, healing unit, energy shield, etc.

BUT... if she says she is then he'll listen. ]


Really? Like Harry Potter or Dungeon and Dragons?
prismbloom: (fenrir)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-28 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's very normal. [ Clearly it's not for him. ] I've never even been to a salon.

[ ...??? ]

Harry Potter? Dungeon and Dragons?
glazedonutholes: (PB: Follower)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-28 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ A gasp.]

What?! But you've got such silky hair! How are you keeping it up without the help of a salon?!
glazedonutholes: (PB: Hmm?)

2/2

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-28 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Simmons is always talking about the wizards and mages there. I thought you might have been one of them. [ A frown. ] But if you're not one of them then what kind of mage are you?
prismbloom: (abyssal tide)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-28 04:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ She reaches up to touch her hair. She'd never thought about that, actually... ]

I do shower, but I don't do anything special with my hair...

[ She pauses. ]

I can control the elements; I can heal quite a few wounds and ailments. There are several other types of magic I make use of--mine shields and squares, as well as barriers.
glazedonutholes: (PB: Hmm?)

[personal profile] glazedonutholes 2016-10-29 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
But it's so pretty. You must do something.

[ Can you even fathom the hair care routine this guy has refined over the years?! It's totally unfair! ]

Mind shields? Doesn't that mess with your hair? Shielding it like that? [ B/c yes, that's what he's concerned about.... orz ]
prismbloom: (follow the wind)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-10-29 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry, but I don't do anything special. [ ... ] Should I be?

[ She genuinely has no idea. ]

Mine shields, not mind shields, [ she clarifies. ] I place small explosives on the ground in front of me, and if an enemy Unversed approaches and connects, they detonate.

[ Boy, does she not know how that probably sounds to a soldier... ]
