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~

[Youji, instead, runs ahead of her, and spots... well, it looks like a convenience store, closed at this hour. Never mind. He braces himself on the door frame, and manages to kick it in without hitting the glass and breaking it. This is skill, okay?]

Bring her this way!

Inside, well. Inside it's a convenience store, and the doorway isn't blocked. He goes around to the back and starts looking for the employee break room and office.]

We'll try to fill it from the back out. Besides, I can block this back door and still leave the front one open for us to get through. Once this is full, we'll just lock that door when we leave.

[It's awfully hard to drag her. So with a muttered apology, Natsuru sweeps the woman up in her arms and carries her inside. The woman seems surprised, but doesn't put up much of a struggle.]

Will they be able to get out when they're back to normal?

[She supposes they could always come let them out later if they have to. But it's always good to be absolutely clear on the plan.]
slantedcross: (where the party's at)

I'm not thinking that far ahead, I will be entirely honest.

[He pushes a table aside, giving them more room in the middle, and pulls a few bottles of water out of the cupboards.

Just in case they do get stuck.]


Worry about that when we know whether or not they will get back to normal-- also hey. [He lowers his sunglasses.] You're quite strong.
thirdbeauty: (What now?)

[... She supposes he's right about that. She can't help it, she really cares about people's well-being.]

Eh?

[She blinks, stunned at the compliment. It's true now that she thinks about it. She's tall, but doesn't look particularly athletic or trained in anything resembling lifting. In fact, it's amazing that she's been able to effortlessly sweep just about anyone off their feet and into the building.]

Oh... thanks...

[She's still processing this and how normal it feels to her for a second. Blame the memory loss and disorientation.]

It makes me more confident. Never doubted your willingness, but willingness only goes so far, if you'll forgive my pragmatism.

[He starts back out into the crowd, ones he ties the front door open with a length of wire to a lamppost. He's not very delicate, pinning a passing man's arms to his side, and steering him straight back into the shop.]
thirdbeauty: (Pleased maid)

[personal profile] thirdbeauty 2016-11-13 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I... think I understand, yeah.

[She still seems a bit uncertain, even as she smiles at him and continues guiding every woman she finds with just enough force to make sure they follow.]
