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~

Oh, thank you.

[Yamanami is polite enough not to stare, but this man is an explosion of vibrant colours. The children huddles around Yamanami, gazing upwards with a mix of awe, curiosity and some fear. One of them clutches his hand and ducks behind him. Yamanami smiles down at the child and squeezes his hand back reassuringly.] Now now, there's no need to be afraid. This mister doesn't mean us any harm at all. In fact, he's going to bring you home to your parents.

[Unfortunately the child only grips his hand harder, and as if following his que, the mob noticeably tenses and crowds around Yamanami closer. With a sigh and an apologetic bow of the head, Yamanami apologizes.] I'm sorry. They're all on edge after they lost sight of their teacher. I'll do my best to keep them calm.

[At the least, he had a power that functioned similar to a GPS, so he could try to be helpful for the time being. It takes a lot of will power not to bare his fangs and hiss at the children when they are visibly scared, though. He'd have too much fun with that.]

It's fine, I'm not a huge 'kid' person, anyway. [Understatement of the year. In any case, Dio pauses to take a look around, attempting to find something like a bag of rice or sand, anything granulated so that he could make a map.]

So, we are going to just bring them to their homes, right? Not attempting to find their teacher or anything? I just need to know what we are looking for, exactly.

I think it'd be best if we sent them home directly. It's not safe for them to be out here right now.

[These children might fall prey to the lethargy, if they don't hurry.] The children can't really remember their home address, but they can recall certain landmarks. Would that be helpful?

[He supposed that was fair enough. Dio was just hoping he could be lazy and drop them all off in one place, but he supposed The God of The Smoking Mirror could pull some tricks here and make a good impression.]

As long as they know what it looks like, I suppose.

[With that, the loudly-dressed foreigner turned to a car parked nearby. A little vandalism was fine, right? Sure it was. He dug a finger in underneath the mirror, popping it off using his superhuman strength and peering into it.]

Yes, any kind of knowledge should do... One at a time.
