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~

[Her expression shifts into one of wide-eyed surprise at the hug, but she quickly smoothes it out into an amused look. She feels utterly blessed to meet people like Sora.]

You're so cute, Sora! Thank you.

[So she laughs, carefully wrapping her arms around him while still holding her drink.]

I'll make sure to give Alto a piece of my mind if— no, when I see him again.

[Sora laughs, pretending to make an offended face at her.] Cute?? I was going for charming and handsome... Cute is embarrassing! Geeze, Sheryl!

[An amused smile breaks on his lips. He lets go and nods. He has no doubt in his mind that she'll take charge when she sees him again and he better appreciate it or Sora will be on his case. She's been honest and real and fun to him, and any guy should be glad to have a girl like her.]

But being cute suits you perfectly!

[She gives him a wink to go with a playful tone as she releases him, complete with a finger wag to punctuate her words. Everyone should experience Sora's happiness at least once.]

Don't keep saying embarrassing things like that, I've got an image to uphold you know...

[No he doesn't.

He breaks into a bright smile after and winks back.]


Anyway, after we're done here we should probably get back out there and help. You feeling a little more awake?

[There is quiet laughter coming out of Sheryl at the comment before she finishes up her drink and tosses it at the nearest garbage can. Truthfully she's not back at 100%, not mentally at least, but she nods and flashes a grateful smile at him, anyway.]

I'm close to being in perfect condition once more. [So much confidence in just a few words.] Now let's head back outside, okay?

[But first!]

Thanks for taking me to this place. I'll be sure to try another flavor next time.
