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~

[he lets out a bark of a laugh in return and holds up his hands as if framing a picture] "I got sucked on like the last drops of a goddamn milkshake, and all I got is this crappy t-shirt". I will use my share to buy every chocolate that exists.

[or to design some sort of chocolate beast that he can hunt in the wilderness. And then it tastes like chocolate. Now that would be the best use of money ever.]

Great. And all of us just at the top of our damn game to deal with some sort of snarling beast from beyond. We should move.

[It's as good a slogan as they're ever going to make out of that, and with the faintest curl of the mouth, Davesprite gives a broad gesture with one taloned hand.] Damn, that's the kind of creativity that's gonna take the heavens and earth by storm. Chocolate less so but come the fuck on, nobody's going to judge you for buying up all the chocolate. All of it.

[That actually sounds like a pretty good idea now that he thinks about it. Lack of creativity aside. But Davesprite is in total agreement about what's going on with the circle, and regardless of his lack of energy he pushes himself up on his tail and into a hover. It's low enough that his wings are unneeded for it, and though he usually spreads them anyway just for effect, he is far too fucked to bother right now.]

Best fucking idea I've heard all week other than the shirts. The longer we hang out here the closer to one the probability gets that one of my feathers is going to fall out in just the right way to cross the border and bring down the ayakashi like the most literal fucking bat out of hell.
