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~

[In his drained state Sora thinks for sure that he's dreaming about Kairi. That he's back home with her and Riku and everything is how it used to be.

His eyes open slowly to the sky that belongs to this little town outside Tokyo and not Destiny Islands and he feels himself just staring and blinking slowly.

Shifting, he catches Aqua in his gaze and for another split second he feels like Kairi might be here with him but he focuses quickly.

This girl...looks... really familiar. Maybe he saw her face in a dream once?]


Hi there...?

[ It's definitely him.

He's grown up, but it's him. The same blue eyes, the same spiky brown hair. The way he radiates warmth. There's a strength to him, she thinks... a strength that's steady and bright. ]


You shouldn't be sleeping where it's so dangerous. Here, I'll help you find somewhere else.

[Sora is slow to sit up and feels the ache of the energy draining in his shoulders. He lets out a soft sigh but looks up at the girl again.

There's something in his chest that feels like it's aching and reaching. Like it might burst from his heart at any moment. What is that...?

That strange sense of familiarity he sees in her makes him trust her. He gets up and stands.]


Thanks, you're probably right. Not a great idea for me to be sleeping any old place, huh?

You're welcome.

[ He's really not doing well, is he? That worries her. Aqua holds out a hand for him. Seeing him again... it's like a dream, almost. She hadn't realized how much she missed the little boy with the bright eyes. ]

No, it's not. Especially when there are such strange happenings about.

It's probably an ayakashi...Those things get into everything.

[Whatever is effecting all of them with this strange energy drain it's hitting Sora hard. His body feels heavy and weak and his shoulders want to drop and he feels pounds and pounds heavier.

He looks up at her face again. It's so kind and gentle and familiar. In his sleepy haze he reaches out to touch her wrist.]


I think I might know you?

[ She doesn't expect that to sting so much. Then again... she'd been there only once, and it had been such a brief meeting. Still...

Aqua places her hand over his. ]


My name is Aqua. When you were much younger, I visited the islands you grew up on.

Destiny Islands?

[That seems to put a spark of life back in Sora’s eyes. He takes her hand and squeezes gently, that sense of trust and familiarity still strong.]

Aqua… I’m. I’m really glad you’re okay.

[He’s not sure what makes him say that exactly. But it seems like the right thing.]

[ She's close to crying--but it's entirely happy crying. She swipes a hand over her eyes and gives him a smile. ]

I'm glad to see you again, Sora.

[ He's grown up so much... ]

Aqua?

[She looks like she's about to cry. Concern flashes in his expression.]

Are you okay? What's wrong?
prismbloom: (lady luck)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-11-06 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ She covers his hand with her other one and shakes her head. ]

Nothing's wrong. I'm relieved.

[He's not sure why but Sora gathers her into a hug next, because his heart tells him to do it. Like hugging a big sister that he hasn't seen in a long time.]

Good, okay. I don't like seeing you cry for some reason, it hurts my heart when you do.
prismbloom: (once upon a time)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-11-07 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, Sora... Aqua hugs him back, placing a hand on top of his head. ]

Then I'll do my best to make sure I don't cry.
