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~
No One's Safe from Lu Meng's nagging, not even his god
My lady, what are you saying!? Your followers are praying to you for help and you want to play video games!?
[And just a second ago he'd been struggling to even stand up straight. He and Sanae are actually seated down right now at a quiet, secluded bus-stop, just so that he can have some rest. To anyone that's not being head-chopped, it'd probably be amusing and interesting to see him bounce from one extreme to another. It's like he gets his bursts of energy from disapproval and outrage.]
I knew those games would rot your brain someday. I'm throwing your PBox out the moment we get back home!
BUT DAAADDDD
And for another, these people clearly don't need my help! Look at them, they're just staring at the wall. If they want to stare at the wall all day, that's none of my business!
YOU'RE GROUNDED
[So much for that heroic speech. When he tries to stand up he's reminded again of why they're seated in the first place. His limbs absolutely refuse to hold up, and he collapses back onto the bench with a groan.] --...and we...we need to give it to them. [He finishes tiredly as fatigue weighs heavily on his arms and legs, making it hard for him to get up. It's hard to even lift his head, much lest his spirits.]
nuuuuuuuuuu
[ Have a gentle poke on his shoulder. ] You're in nooooo condition to help others, like that. 'Sides... there are plenty of other gods around to help take care of this mess.
no subject
[Whoops. One poke and he's sent sprawling off the bench. So much for "perfectly fine."]
no subject
[ She'll slowly lower herself from the bench to the ground. ] Right here. This spot is comfortable, isn't it? [ She taps the concrete as if to test its firmness. No, it's as hard anyone would think it to be, but that doesn't stop Sanae. She begins to rest her head on the ground. ] Just a quick nap. It'll be fine...
no subject
N-no. We will not do such a thing. [Staggering over to her, it's so much easier for him to fall to his knees than to weakly grab her shoulders to pull her upright. But his earlier ire with her has been replaced with increasing concern. There's nothing comfortable about the concrete, and nothing Sanae-like when she's advocating to sleep on the job. This is the god that insisted on fulfilling a prayer even when hangover. She's totally not acting like herself at all.]
M-my lady. [He tries to shake her, as if he could shake the sleep off her. It's getting harder for him to stay focused though; he can't gather his thoughts, he can't even concentrate, and it's a struggle to keep his arms up. His fingers feel strange, like they're connected yet not, the nerves refusing to properly transmit impulses from brain to muscles and back. He clumsily press his fingers into her skin as he tries to force feeling back into them, and tries to shake her again.]
Lady K-Kochiya. Y-you can't fall asleep. We have prayers to answer.
no subject
Fortunately his resolve in this matter is working. She lifts up a hand not push him up, but to rub an eye. ] P...prayers. Right. But I'm so tired, can't someone else answer them for us jus'... [ A yawn. ] Jus' once?
[ But she stops there suddenly, looking beyond his shoulder. ] U--....uh-oh... We've got company. [ Smaller ayakashi have gathered around them, drawn by their sin of sloth. ]
no subject
I--...Issen.
[Every inch of him is bogged down by fatigue, but he manages to form a borderline. Thankfully these ayakashi are weak, because that pale, fragile-looking translucent barrier doesn't look like it'll last for long.]
no subject
[ The ayakashi press at his barrier, and Sanae extends a hand. She needs energy. And they are good offerings, no matter how weak they are. Palm outward, she begins to siphon the ayakashi's energy towards her, the ayakashi themselves become slower, more lethargic, and more rigid the longer she takes. Between them and her hand the air wavers with invisible energy, as if looking at heat swirling off a highway, the view distorted by what she sucks from them.
Sanae now sits up, breathing in deeply as she saps the ayakashi's energy as her own. The small spirits are now on the ground quivering, unable to move, and Sanae stretches her arms above her head, yawning. ] ...There.
[ She's not quite her upbeat self completely, but she realizes what went wrong. ] Lu Meng, you're right. We ought to be trying to solve this incident. The spell that's effecting the humans is also effecting us.

My...my lady...I apologize... [Quiet mumbles are all he can manage, his eyelids the only part of him that's capable of movement, closing and blinking rapidly to try and keep the sleep out of them. Even breathing is starting to feel like a hassle.]
no subject
No, don't be sorry. It's okay-- this is something that we haven't prepared for. [ She can't carry him like this, so: ] Genki.
[ Outstretching her hand to hold him, Sanae then.... brings out a portable phone charger and plugs it into him. ]
Maybe this willl help. [ Not all problems require magical solutions. ]
1/2
2/2
What the hell--!? What did...what did you put in me!?
[Lu Meng sounds strangely angry. That might be because sticking that charger into him has resulted in a similar, uncomfortable sensation of having someone stick something in his chest.]
no subject
[ She giggles to herself. ] It's a phone charger! I've plugged you in. [ She only bought a phone charger so she could play the equivalent of Pokemon Go in this world. ] So-- so! Do you have more energy now?!
no subject
[He can feel his energy returning to him, and on the battery level on his vessel form is beginning to pick up. Thankfully Sanae had intervened when she had; right now, he's at 2%.]
no subject
What-- does it feel like it's plugged up you nose?
[
OR HIS BUTT.]no subject
DON'T TEST HIM]It's as if something has been plunged into my chest to allow hot fluids to flow into my heart. It doesn't hurt, but it's not a pleasant sensation at all.
no subject
Oh, I know! What if I put it on a higher charging setting?
[ Puts it on a higher charging setting. ]
no subject
[Bzzt!! He literally jumps both in her hand and in the mind space with another shout.] Stop experimenting on my body! [She can bet that if he was standing in front of her, he'd be scowling fiercely down at her.]
We have far more important matters to attend to than sending these jolts to my heart!
[His heart is really racing now, but a quick check in the mind space reveals that there isn't any blemish or wound.]
1/2
[ Toning down the intensity of the charging now! ] And you're right. Now that you're awake, we can rend these ayakashi.
[ She nearly forgot about the ones that are still on the other side of the barrier until now. Pointing Lu Meng at them and focusing them through his camera lens, she then begins to recite the normal incantation to rend them.
After the flash of light and theatrics, the ayakashi are no more, and she checks his charging status. ] Hm... you're still only at 12%. It might be better if you stay plugged in...
no subject
And then she takes out her other phone. ] I want this in our memories.
[ Baby's first phone charger. So kawaii. ]
no subject
with a charger poking out of what looks like his butt.]My lady, please. I don't want to be photographed like this.
no subject
You said it feels like it's giving energy directly into your heart. It's like-- it's like I just gave you CPR!
