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~

That's just when I go back for more. It's a foolproof plan.

[It is not a foolproof plan omg. Not at all. Especially considering it's not helping in the first place.] I can probably wait it out...

I don't think you know what that word means. [Shun's answer is immediate, and would probably be a bit more scathing if she was older. But this probably seems like less of a bad idea to her than it does to him.]

Do you really want to trust in "probably" in a situation like this? [As if to accentuate his point, Shun jerks his head in the direction of a car drifting idly down the street behind them at about walking speed, the driver clearly entirely out of it.]

Well I kind of have to. I don't know how to get back by myself. So I can't leave... [She is very tired, tho...] But there's a bunch of people who need help, too. And I'm doing better than most of them!

Gods can teleport. If you are a god, you could do it yourself, and if you've met your god, you could find them and ask them, though if they wanted to stay here you'd need to be able to contact them to get you back here.

[He'd offer himself, but in the state he's in and his refusal to leave, he's a little wary about even that minor an extra exertion of power.

Even if they are doing better than the humans, Shun has to shake his head at that.]
Only because they've been under the spell longer, and it probably takes more for it to affect us.

I haven't met anybody like that yet... I just kind of came here. [Though it seems weird to have such a multiplicity of gods. That doesn't seem normal to her, but she ignores it.]

If I can't figure out how to leave and I'm doing better than them, I should still help out, though...
revolutionfalcon: (veiled concern)

[At that, there's a flicker of what might be concern across Shun's face. Normally it wouldn't be an issue to him, but someone this young who hasn't found their partner here is more than a little worrying to him.]

Have Amaterasu's shinki at least told you how things work here? It's hard to tell apart gods and shinki anyway - I'm a "god", but I hardly look it - but your god should know you on sight.

[It is true enough that doing better than them is one reason to stay and help, and Shun considers it for a moment before he gives a short nod.]

I could help you with it for a while. At least until the sugar high wears off and I make sure that's not going to leave you in an even worse state.
