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~

[That’s the truth of the matter unfortunately. But Sora has been able to pummel ayakashi back enough that they scatter before.

Izumo’s ability is effective and the spider ayakashi leaps a few paces back and it chitters with childish laughter.]


Do you know how to use borderlines?

[Keeping an eye on the ayakashi, Izumo hears Sora's question and nearly grimaces.]

A bit, but I'm afraid that I'm not exactly good at it yet. [In other words, if he attempts to use borderlines now, it may or may not succeed.]

[He gives Izumo a reassured smile in return and shakes his head.]

Its's okay!

[Sora casts Reflectga on them and a crystalline dome of light envelops them. Just in time too because the ayakashi leaps again and gets throw back from the reflective surface.]

Keep that fire thing up, it worked!

[Then Sora leaps at the ayakashi to attack and weaken it enough for them to run.]
toremainbehind: ([48] Will it hurt)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-11-05 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Sora, you're the best.

Izumo does look at the dome of light briefly, surprised, but then the ayakashi comes back and Izumo huffs out.

Another flash of red appears briefly around him before he sends fire at the ayakashi. It's not too big, but not too small either - perhaps just enough to have the ayakashi retreat a bit more for them to be able to escape.]

[With that opening, Sora nods to Izumo and gives him a hand signal to run.]

Go go!

[He sprints away as the ayakashi is still fighting with the annoyance from the fire.]

[Izumo is quick to follow.

The last thing he wanted was to stay in the presence of the ayakashi.]

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-11-06 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once they're a far enough distance away Sora skids to a stop and lets out a breath of relief.]

...Phew. That was close. Are you okay?
toremainbehind: ([38] Will we all burn just like fire?)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-11-06 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huffing, Izumo straightens a bit.]

I'm fine. What about you?

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-11-07 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora feels beat. Tired. His energy still feels pretty sapped... Maybe it's time for a break.]

Tired, but I'll be okay... don't worry! Thanks for the magic back there, Izumo, it was something!
toremainbehind: ([66] In the least valley of sackcloth to)

[He manages a smile. He wouldn't call it magic, but he's not sure what else to call it, so he'll roll with it for now.]

Ah, no problem. I didn't think it'd actually work against it.

[Flashy fire explosions sure look like magic to Sora.]

I think ayakashi kind of get annoyed by stuff like that but it doesn't do real damage to them. It's weird. I don't get it.

[But that way he doesn't have to nora every shinki he sees either.]
toremainbehind: ([47] Will you hide)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-11-09 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He'll stick with the magic theory. For now, it's the one thing that makes sense.]

Maybe they just don't like distractions.

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-11-09 12:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Sora chuckles. That's a good way to put it.]

If only it was that easy, huh?

[He stretches his arms above his head.]

You should try finding your god so we can get some real butt kicking in, huh? Thanks again for the assist, Izumo.
toremainbehind: ([02] Is neither strong nor free)

[personal profile] toremainbehind 2016-11-09 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
A lot of things would be easier that way.

[Izumo smiles.]

And I suggest you try finding your shinki. But you're welcome, Sora. Be careful, though.

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2016-11-09 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[He grins.]

You bet. I will! Stay safe out there too!

[And off he goes.]
