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~

[Maybe Aya still doesn't know what to do next, but clearly the newcomer does and she's not about to argue with him. She lets the stranger - a boy, not much older than her but about a million times more confident than she could ever feel right now - lead her away from the crowd and into the mouth of an alleyway, and if there's one thing to be said about the place it certainly feels a lot safer.]
Thank you. [She returns the smile, a little awkwardly.] I... well, I don't really know where I'm going, actually, so I suppose here is as good as anywhere.
[It's considerably better than out there.]
no subject
[This is all new information to him, so he imparts it to her, just in case.]
New gods and shinki show up at regular intervals... so of course it's always like this when they do. Zeno has only been here a little bit longer than missy, and already Zeno knows that.
no subject
[It's... something, Aya supposes, to know that she's not as far away from home as the stranger is. It brings her problems into perspective, at least a little, even if it is only by pointing out that they could stand to be a lot larger. Oh, why is this so confusing?
[The rest of it isn't as surprising as it should be. The patterns are too familiar for that.]
Does it - I mean, I've never seen anything like this before! Does it really happen that often?
no subject
Zeno is from the kingdom of Kouka. It's where the Red Dragon God decided to live among the humans as one of them, two thousand years ago.
[He waves off her questions.]
Not this specific thing! This is a fluke, surely, that will be righted in short order. The gods brought to this land are an impressive bunch. Missy will impress everyone, too, because you're going to have some sort of power of your own. You just have to find it.
[Probably not the best distraction, but--]
no subject
[Aya can tell he's trying to reassure her. Hanging onto the bit where he shouldn't exist is not reassuring. So let's just take Zeno as read and focus on what he's actually saying.]
Uh, you don't have to cal me missy, really. It's Aya. My name's Aya.
[And why would that be the best response she can dream up?]
Um, are you a... a God, then?
[And why did her brain want to correct that to 'are you a god too'?
no subject
So Zeno was told, upon arriving here. You should have come when Zeno did, there was a picnic with cherry blossoms.
]...thaaaaat burned the heck down but she doesn't need to know that.]
Zeno was not a god before arriving here, that much is true. Zeno's not sure how much of it to believe, but there are temples and servants, and others in the same predicament.
no subject
Well, we must be here for a reason, mustn't we? If you and I are here, and here are others, too--
[That much feels logical. The God bit, though?]
But how could I be any kind of god? I'm... well, I'm in high school. Really, I'm nothing special!
[There's got to be someone better-qualified.]
no subject
Zeno lives in a country founded by gods, as probably most people do. [Or believe they do.] It's so far away from the current and the every day things that even Zeno can't believe it, but Zeno strongly suspects that the gods were only one part of the equation. The gods would not have any pull if it weren't for the people who weren't special, but followed the gods anyway. And there are so many stories of these same people who were never special, but later became special and did good things, either becoming gods or assisting them.
Maybe you aren't special yet, but will become so. Zeno can wait for that.
no subject
But how do we know what to do?
[Gods don't wear pajamas, and she'd really like to point that out but she's not sure she should be mentioning it to a boy, even to a nice one. And helping people seems, well, nice, in the abstract, but even if it makes her horribly selfish Aya can't help but feel that, at least right now, she needs help almost as much as the poor people in the street. As for what makes her special - well, there might have been something about that. There was a catch, though. There's always a catch.]
I... think I needed to be asleep. To help, I mean. Surely I'm not supposed to sleep here?
no subject
Power is a strange thing. If you had to be asleep to focus it, it's possible. Some things are clearer either during or after sleep.
no subject
[But where? Home is - it's gone. She has no money, nothing but the clothes she stands up in, and those are flimsy and inadequate. Where, oh where, is she supposed to go?]
Is - is there somewhere I can rest? I don't think I have anywhere to go.
no subject
Or you may rest here. Take Zeno's coat, let Zeno tell you a story to make you sleepy, and see what happens.
