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~

Because we gotta help people around here so they don't get hurt.

[His body is having a hard time agreeing though. His limbs feel like dead weight. He gives Elise a weak smile.]

They need us!

But I tried to....

[Definitely whining now. Such a brat.]

But nobody listens and they keep....

[She pauses to yawn.]

...keep doing dumb stuff anyway.

Yeah I know...

[Sora lets out a yawn to mirror hers. Maybe just... a quick nap?]

Where's your god...? Maybe he should take you home for a nap?

[Sora's eyes feel heavy and he feels them nearly closing too...]

Dunno.... Maybe he went...

[yaaaaawn]

...back already. I tried to go back but.... 'm soooo tiiired.

[And look, she has a convenient pillow now. Elise leans her head onto Sora's shoulder. So comfy.]

I'll stick around with you until ... [Yawwwwwwwwwwn.] He comes to get...

[Where is his energy? Why is it so hard to keep his eyes open?

His head falls too, cheek against the top of her head and he starts to drift off...

Someone please come wake up these children.]

[Dokugakuji is a pretty big guy at 6'2" so looking down doesn't occur to him as often as it probably should. As he's walking around, now that Meji is a little more rested and able to be in his Vessel form again, Doku can walk around freely with the sword at his side.

Then, as he's walking, his foot bumps into something on the ground and he stops. Looking down, he sees the two kids.]


More of this draining stuff...?

[It's because they don't look like urchins; he'd know. They're not dirty enough or scraggly enough in their faces. First thing's first, he tries to wake them up.]

Hey kids - hey.

[His voice is quiet, the same one he's used on Lirin before, especially when they last rescued her from Dr. Ni's clutches.]

You okay? You need some help?

[Geez... Another person waking her up? What's a girl have to do to get some sleep around here? And she's so comfy too...

With a monumental effort, Elise opens her eyes. And gives the offender her best angry pout. She's too tired for it to be very convincing. What does he want? She tries to ask, but yawns instead. Talking is hard right now.]

[Sora himself is almost completely asleep by the time someone disturbs them. Can't two kids take a real quick power nap in the middle of the street? Naps are important.

His eyes flutter open slowly and he blinks blearily at the culprit. He doesn't have the energy to move from his spot cuddled up against Elise.]


... What's up? ... We ... hmm... yeah probably.

For someone to just leave you two here... Well, no way I can do that.

[Dokugakuji kneels down and taps the young lady on her hand.]

I'll get him on my back first, that way I can carry you in my arms. I'll get you two out of here.

[And he's not yet familiar enough with teleporting to think that'll work either. He turns to the boy next.]

Hey, my name's Doku. Here...

[And he turns around with his arms providing a place for Sora to step and cling to his back. Doku's plan is that he thinks he can support the boy with one arm and the girl with the other, but maybe if the young man can actually hold himself against Doku's back while he leans a bit... maybe then both arms can carry the girl in front. Either way, he'll be able to walk a little ways and at least get them out of range of the draining stuff.]
