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~

Geez, she really can't keep her mouth shut, can she? Yeah, I'm the great and wonderful Yato.
[He states that pretty matter-of-factly, but it doesn't have the same grandiose flair it usually does.]
Ha. Yeah, he's a lot more forward about his shit. This is too subtle. But then, I'm not a fan of anything that even reminds me of him.
[With an added grimace towards the mask.]
no subject
[Shun's tone is a little harsh there, because he's definitely not appreciative of how hard it can be to wrest information out of the old gods, and Bishamon is one of the few who's actually been amenable to it.
Keeping his attention on Yato's description of the discrepancy in tactics, Shun's eyes narrow a little in thought.]
So the Heavens have no other longstanding enemies this would fit, or too many? [It has to be one or the other, in a situation like this.]
no subject
Sometimes you've gotta keep quiet. Especially if it's not your secret to reveal.
[He tucks his hands into his pockets and leans to one side, looking thoughtful.]
I'm sure the Heavens have lots of enemies. But most people aren't actually stupid enough to stand up against them.
no subject
Yato's comment on the enemies of the Heavens isn't exactly a surprise at this point, but it is something to consider, and Shun's first thought isn't the most reassuring one.]
These people have enough skill to cover their tracks so cleanly that even you older gods can't pick it up. If they're standing up, it's not because they're stupid.
no subject
He considers Shun's words thoughtfully.]
Honestly, seems to me like they've had a grudge for a long time. Which wouldn't be surprising, honestly. The Heavens have had a pretty ironclad hold on everything for a very long time.
no subject
Definitely not surprising, given their handling of the situation with us. It's the behaviour of people who aren't used to the status quo being upset, which means this enemy must have put time and effort in to making sure they pulled it off.
[On one hand, he can definitely see why they'd see the Heavens as an enemy with that attitude. On the other, they're going about it entirely the wrong way and with no care for the collateral damage.]
no subject
They do offer a lot of perks, though. Protection, power.
[He shrugs.]
Everyone has enemies, though. Nothing can make everyone happy, right? These guys are just... extra not happy.
no subject
Maybe they do, but offering power and extending protection can be turned into perks for an enemy as well. And you're right in saying that everyone has enemies, so it's expected for that twist to happen eventually. The enemies of a structure with this kind of power aren't going to be easy to dismiss as a threat either way.
[Despite the fact that the heavenly bureaucracy is still a fairly new thing to Shun, his tone speaks of experience, if not in that matter then in one similar enough for comparison.]
no subject
You've got a point, but that's pretty normal for things like this. Only thing we can hope for is a way to ferret these people out.
no subject
[Shaking his head slightly, Shun turns his head back in the direction of the rest of the town.]
If you're covering things here, I'll check things out around the park one more time before heading back out. There's still people falling under that spell who haven't reached a safe place yet.
no subject
Yeah. I'll hold things down over here. Let me know if you find anything in particular, I guess.
no subject
With a slight incline of the head at Yato's words, Shun turns and starts to walk away, still looking over his shoulder at the other god.]
We'll see.
