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~

[ Struggling against Hazel. ] --C-come back here! You're supposed to chase wildly after us with the rest of your horde...!

[ Nuuuuu her zombie disaster apocalypse, she would have been in one, and it would have been so cool. ]
churchbelle: (whine whine)

[SANAE.... He's just a tiny church boy, he can't actually restrain her effectively. Cooperate!!]

Are ya serious right now? Is this some kinda joke— Would ya hold still, please!

[GIRL]
miraculo: (so I block the coupes)

[personal profile] miraculo 2016-10-17 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ She struggles for a bit more, but eventually relents. She lowers her head, breathing out. ] It's... not a joke!

It's just... I really thought they were zombies.... I mean, don't they sort of act like them? They're just shuffling around!
churchbelle: (the incredibly deep voice of the snail)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-10-17 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Are they attackin' anyone? They can hardly keep themselves goin' in the right direction.

[Look, look at them being confused and aimless. Do they look bloodthirsty???]

When ya knocked that fella down, he looked like he came outta the spell for a minute. You've never seen somethin' like this before? [Like... since she thinks it was zombies, probably not, but.]
miraculo: (no boxer though)

[personal profile] miraculo 2016-10-17 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
No, I've never been in a zombie apocalypse before-- [ <-- Is what she thinks he's talking about. ] That's why it would have been a good experience to be in one now, with everyone here to help defeat it!

[ A huff, and she crosses her arms over her chest. ] Besides, if I were a villain, I wouldn't go half-way with zombies like these. They'd be the full thing-- decaying flesh and groans and all!
churchbelle: (CAPITAL LETTERS AND NO PUNCTUATION)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-10-17 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sanae, these people ain't goddamn zombies.

[PLEASE FOCUS...] First of all, they're all still livin'. Y'just said as much yourself, so why are we still talkin' about it?

[personal profile] miraculo 2016-10-17 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
But...! But. It's like all of their energy is being taken out of them. And if they have too much taken out of them-- then they can die. And then they can become zombies. And then we'll have a zombie apocalypse!

[ HER SPARKLY LOGIC STRIKES AGAIN. See see, a zombie apocolypse isn't off the table! ] So I still think we should be careful-- that's why I'm still talking about it.

[ Said as if she's the one who saved him. ]
churchbelle: (shallow hal)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-10-17 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[oh, for-]

Alright, let's say you're makin' an ounce of sense— instead of tacklin' the people, let's try puttin' 'em somewhere they aren't gonna cause any trouble.
miraculo: (boxster though)

[personal profile] miraculo 2016-10-17 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
But-- I thought--... [ Looks to Hazel, then at the man who's still wandering around aimlessly.

And now she sees the flaw in her observations, and she mutters, embarrassed: ]
...I thought that he was going to bite you and turn you into a zombie...
churchbelle: (WITCH CRAFT!!!)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-10-17 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Well, thank ya kindly for the touchin' concern, but I'm quicker than that fella. Probably quicker than him on a regular day, too.

[Would it help if he patted her shoulder... He will; consider it patted.]
miraculo: made by windroars dnt (I’m so dumb)

[personal profile] miraculo 2016-10-17 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ Indeed it does help. She calms herself down a bit, sighing. ] Alright, so you'll be okay. [ If there will be zombies. ]

But if not zombies, then their lack of energy must be because of something else. But what?
churchbelle: (the incredibly deep voice of the snail)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-10-17 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes, and he's very important, so that's good enough. She can tackle people later.]

Search me. A spell of some sort? They haven't got anythin' hangin' on 'em as far as I can tell, so it probably ain't individual ayakashi.

[Like... probably, right?? They would see them, wouldn't they? Hm.]
miraculo: ("Yo don't you got cocks to blow?")

[personal profile] miraculo 2016-10-21 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She blinks at him. Not just an individual ayakashi. ] ...Like a horde.

[ WAIT NO, no more zombies. Focus, Sanae, focus.

She coughs. ]
I mean, if it's not one ayakashi, it's a group of them. But have you ever seen many of them fighting as a group? Or together? [ At least she hasn't. ] They're being coordinated. [ Like apparently there was a "principal" evil head honcho the last time this happened, so it doesn't seem unreasonable. ]
churchbelle: (sweatin' like a whore in church)

[personal profile] churchbelle 2016-10-22 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
[NOT LIKE A-- SANAE]

Is there anythin' sayin' they can't? Truth be told, I've been keepin' my distance since that one fella went up in smoke. [Literally... Axel's accidental transformation sure was a day.

Also he doesn't know anything about that principal stuff, help him out??]
Y'think someone's pullin' strings?
