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~

[...gosh, it was like waking someone up in study hall wasn't it. Masaki huffed a little, and gave Elise a little shake, cheer in her voice.]

Not happening today! Come on you. We're going to get up, and get walking! I know a pillow has your name on it~

[Somewhere. Maybe. Who knows!]

What's your name? Do you live here? Are you part of a temple?
lilys_poise: (I don't want to fight you.)

[She's quiet for a long time, trying to work up any motivation or energy to form a response. It's hard. Much harder than it should be. But she just feels so drained. Almost empty. Finally, she raises her eyes up to meet Masaki's.]

Elise. From.... from the temple of Helios.

[She doesn't move though. That's too far. Why not just stay here?]
shockshot: (sigh)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-10-24 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is very worrisome. It's taking a long time for Elise to respond, and she has to wonder how long she's been here. Maybe she should try to carry her out.]

Helios...okay, that's good! That's a start. I'm Masaki Kurosaki, from the temple of Tezcatlipoca.

[She smiled, but it faded out due to concern. She was tired too but...]

Let's get you back to your temple. Do you remember where it is in town?
lilys_poise: (All that hard work for this?)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2016-10-30 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
I do, but....it's so far. Why can't I just stay heeerre?

[That was definitely a whine. But there's at least a little bit more energy in that than her other responses.]
shockshot: (no big!)

Because you'll feel a lot better once you're there! Who knows? Maybe it'll have candy!

[When in doubt, bribe with food.]
lilys_poise: (next thing I knew it was morning)

'M not a little kid...

[That would be way more convincing without the pout. Still... she is a little hungry. And moreover.... an actual bed sounds great. She finally makes an effort to stand, pushing herself up with the wall as support. She makes it about halfway.]

I don't... think I can....
shockshot: (oh rly)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-03 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I'd go for candy too you know.

[And there's a bed, but she doesn't want her to think of the bed and go to sleep. But with her faltering...

Masaki goes to take her by the hand.]


You can do it. I believe in you. Come on. You can lean on me.
lilys_poise: (Over here!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2016-11-17 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elise will gratefully accept the hand to help her up. She doesn't think she'd manage without it. It's still hard to keep from drifting into the tempting embrace of sleep. Leaning on Masaki for support, she attempts a weak smile up at the woman.]

You're really nice. Thank you....

[She's trying not to let her energy flag, herself. It helps that Elise needs so much help just...getting up, really.]

Just doing what should be done. But you're welcome.

[She smiled back at her, and motioned to put her arm around here.]

Here, hold onto me. We'll get you to the temple. Promise.
