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~

Well...okay.

[Mabel seems so gung ho about it, she can't let Mabel not do it! That'd be just mean. And Masaki doesn't want to bring her down.]

Let's hear it.
attackglitter: (Happy ミ☆ And brightly burst)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-17 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh boy now she has to pull out a good one.]

All right, all right. Knock knock!
shockshot: (happy!)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-17 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[No pressure Mabel!]

Who's there?
attackglitter: (Happy ミ☆ Into a million sparks)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-17 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Otto.

[This isn't gonna be good.[
shockshot: (merp?)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-17 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[No, but...well, gonna play along.]

Otto who?

[Oh boy.]
attackglitter: (Happy ミ☆ No matter where you are)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-17 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Otto know! I have amnesia!

[That is so dark, but Mabel looks like she's taking it in good humor.]
shockshot: (d'oh!)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-17 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha....ha...

[Oh that is dark Mabel.]

I guess that makes you a shinki too huh?
attackglitter: (Happy ミ☆ And brightly burst)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-17 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! [She's taking being dead in stride.] Hi, I'm Mabel!
shockshot: (banter)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-17 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Thank you Mabel. She'll just...offer her hand now to shake.]

Hi Mabel, I'm Masaki. It's nice to meet you.

[Even if everyone else was a downer.]
attackglitter: (Happy ミ☆ And brightly burst)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-17 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Nice to meet you too! I was wondering if everybody I saw today was going to be a total zombie.
shockshot: (quiver)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-17 04:15 am (UTC)(link)
Thank goodness no. I've been meeting a lot of shinki and gods around here but the normal humans...

[Yeah.]

I'm not sure what's wrong with them.
attackglitter: (Neutral ミ☆ And illuminate a world)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-17 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't either. Maybe they're just really tired? They might just need their coffee.
shockshot: (hmph)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-17 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe? I guess we could make everyone espresso, but I don't know if that'd be a good idea.

I kinda want to try though...
attackglitter: (Explaining ミ☆ But not this time)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-17 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you know where an espresso maker is? [Because that throws a wrench in things if you want to... make everyone espresso.]
shockshot: (d'oh!)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
I don't even know where a coffee maker is.

[Yeah...she doesn't even know this TOWN.]
attackglitter: (Neutral ミ☆ And illuminate a world)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-18 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we should start exploring then! What're we just sitting here for?
shockshot: (c'mon!)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-18 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No idea! Let's get moving!

[Maybe they won't give free espresso samples but hey! It might be fun! Maybe they'll find candy or something.]
attackglitter: (Unsure ミ☆ That'll try)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-18 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Mabel looks in a few directions before choosing one and starting to walk.]

So what's all this shinki stuff anyway?
shockshot: (wha?)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-19 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She'll follow. It's a good direction as any!]

Uh, you mean...you haven't met your god yet...? They didn't say anything...?
attackglitter: (Explaining ミ☆ But not this time)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-19 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head.]

Nuh-uh. Not yet. Is that a weird thing?
shockshot: (quiver)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-20 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
No, more...I'm not sure really. I don't know how all of this works.

[She chuckled a little, scratching at her cheek.]

I thought all shinki were paired with gods, but maybe I'm wrong? Or...your god is busy or something.
attackglitter: (Neutral ミ☆ And illuminate a world)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-20 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I might've just not run into her yet. [Though there's something weird about the idea of gods and working with them. She hasn't quite figured it out.] It's probably fine. I'm not gonna worry about it.
shockshot: (uuuuuuuh)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-20 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
It's possible! Or him.

[It is pretty weird, but hey. She gets her own room! Clothes! Showers!]

Probably fine? But...where are you going to sleep tonight?

[Unless Mabel has a wallet full of cash...]
attackglitter: (Neutral ミ☆ And illuminate a world)

[personal profile] attackglitter 2016-10-20 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thinking I'd figure that out. They kinda just told me bad things were happening here so I came here.
shockshot: (ah?)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-21 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
They did?

Well...you certainly get points for having a good heart!

[Yeesh...someone adopt Mabel. Please. Put her in a kitten box even.]
