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~

Thank you.

[She didn't want to go limp, but she did, falling asleep in Aqua's arms, It was hard to care about staying awake. Or where they were going to go. But she trusted her.

They'd be somewhere safe in not much time at all.]

[ It's not long before Aqua sets Masaki down and gently shakes her shoulder. ]

Masaki? I think we're far enough away to be safe.

[She stirs, and blinks, making sleepy, uncertain noises. Where were they? Sleepily, she wipes at her eyes.]

We are?

[It's hard to shake off, but she's trying. She's blinking rapidly at least, to get the sleep out of her eyes.]
prismbloom: (wild blue)

[ Aqua takes a seat next to her on the bench and nods. ]

How are you feeling?
shockshot: (peek)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-07 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Still tired but...less willing to just lay about? If that makes any sense.

[She yawned weakly, and took in a deep breath.]
prismbloom: (fairy stars)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-11-07 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
I think it does. We can rest here for a while. If I had any money, I'd find something for you to eat and drink...
shockshot: (hee)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-07 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, good.

[Hearing Aqua's offer, she has to shake her head. But she's smiling.]

That's okay. It's really nice of you to offer, but I don't need it, I think. Maybe some water to splash on my face, when I can stand up without wobbling.
prismbloom: (a very small wish)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-11-07 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ At that, she relaxes a little. Worried as she is about Masaki getting food and water, she wouldn't have wanted to leave her alone for long. Or at all. ]

When you're ready, we'll try to find a water source, then.
shockshot: (quiet)

[personal profile] shockshot 2016-11-07 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Okay. Thank you.

[Aqua has a good reason to be worried. Masaki could easily fall asleep or be attacked here.]

Um...sorry, what's your name again? I don't remember it. Too fuzz brained, I think.
prismbloom: (just wondering)

[personal profile] prismbloom 2016-11-08 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

[ Masaki doesn't have to apologize. She understands; she's seen what happens when someone's tired beyond all belief. ]

It's alright--it's Aqua.
shockshot: (statement)

[She smiles up at her. She's sleepy still, but she's not about to fall asleep. Not yet at least.]

Aqua...that's a nice name. Are you a god?

[She keeps meeting so many gods around here...]
