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~

[Another chuckle.]

Now you've gone and hurt my feelings.

[Yeah no.]

But I have one more question for you before I do head out!

[He revels in the taste of little Baldr freaking out.]

How many times have I visited you now?

[This is his new favorite game, after all - Bother Baldr.]

[Sora rolls his eyes. Oh boooo hooooooooo.

But that's a really weird question. Sora squints.]


...Two? Why? Why does that matter?

[Maybe it's stupid to engage bullies with what they want, but it's a weird question.]

Bzzzt, wrong!

[He practically purrs with satisfaction.]

You're going to have to be more careful in the future, Baldr. You never know when I'll pop up to pull that rope a little bit tighter.

[He gives that sensation to Sora again, when he woke up and the noose yanked slightly because of how Schuldig had set things up.]

I wonder what happens when a New God dies...

[Is that a threat?

Sora bristles and refuses to react to the feeling of something pulling his neck even though he can feel his breath hitch in his throat.]


I'm not afraid of you, Loki. Whatever makes this fun for you makes me really feel sorry for you!

[Sora shakes his head.]

Oh, a challenge is it then?

[He grins and tips a finger up under Sora's chin - the sensation of it anyway, to hold it in place after Sora shakes it slightly.]

We'll just have to see how far your mercy goes.

[And with that he pulls away to plot something else - something that won't be a direct hit to Baldr, but rather blindside him by touching someone close to him instead.]

[And suddenly Loki's presence is gone as fast as it had come. Sora rubs at his neck and chin and feels a little bit of uncomfortable anxiety in his shoulders.

What did he mean about that? How far his mercy goes? What's he planning?

He has no idea what he did to this god aside from their ties in their past lives to make him a target like this, but it can't be good news. Sora hates that he's troubled by this and maybe he should be alerting some of his friends and family about what's going on.

Leo first.]
