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~

Barry?

[His booming voice snaps her back to attention, just in time to be pushed out of the path of the giant bat.

She watches as it swoops past and circles overhead. That was a close shave.]


Sorry, spaced out. Nice save though.

[She stands gracefully and pushes aside her sudden exhaustion. Time to fight some bats.]

Now let's show 'em who's boss! Ouki!

Yeah... you're tellin' me.

[Barry is no sooner on his feet than Hiyoko is calling his name. And with a nod, he transforms into his magical girl wand form and jumps into her hand.]

Ready when you are!

Prepare yourself, creature of darkness! I am the single flower blooming in the asphalt! The apostle of the blue sky!

[The terror that flaps in the night? Seriously what even goes on in her head?]

Mielikki, goddess of the hunt! Take this! SHINING CACAPHONY!

[It needed a name?]

Pretty sweet magical girl intro, Hiyoko! Let's do this!

[Barry lets out a primal scream from inside the casing of his weapon form, sending sonic shockwaves toward the encroaching bat ayakashi.]

Thanks! Being able to put on a good show is the mark of a true professional!

[A professional what?

At any rate, the ayakashi shrieks and crashes to the ground. Sonic attacks are especially effective against creatures that navigate with sound waves. But it's not out yet. Hiyoko lands in front of it and readies herself for the next attack.]


Here it comes!

You got that right! You oughta come in for dance lessons sometime.

[A professional whatever, apparently. But Barry seems pretty happy with the idea.]

Let's hit him point blank!

[Barry's saving it up for when this one gets close.]

Got it!

[She crouches, waiting for the strike to come. The bat creature screams, and dives for them. At the absolute last second, Hiyoko rolls out of the way. It's claws tear her sleeve, but she's otherwise unscathed.]

Now... take THIS!

[Did she forget the fancy name this time? Maybe. Maybe it was just too long.]

[Whether or not she did, Barry lets loose a primal scream all the same, enveloping the ayakashi in a powerful series of sound waves and leaving it severely weakened.]

Almost down! C'mon, let's rend it!
