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~

Closed to Souji

[She died. That's all she knows about herself as she stands at the gates. She's not even sure how she died or anything about herself, really. All the years and years of rewinding and looping through the same month are gone from her.

But somebody else has suddenly been assaulted with those memories. Her contract with Kyuubey, the wish she made. The things she tried to keep Madoka safe, trying to fight Walpurgisnacht alone and failing. The times she had to kill her best friend with her own two hands, the times she had to watch her turn into a witch.

At the end, the final loop she could get through she fought Walpurgisnacht, again, alone. All the other magical girls dead. And her, finally realizing all of the damage she's done by rewinding time and time again. She shouldn't be distracted considering the scale of the witch, but knowing what she did her soul gem started clouding over, realizing just how futile everything she was trying to do was. If she was a little more careful, if her head was entirely in the fight, maybe Walpurgisnacht wouldn't have managed to shatter her gem.

What's done is done.

She has none of that, but Souji does now.]


I. Drained Humans

[So they were sent to deal with the prayers of humans? She doesn't quite understand why their feelings should matter to her. They aren't who she's assigned to, but if she's asked she'll make a token effort.

She's not strong enough to stop people from walking into the streets, lifeless and spiritless. It should maybe concern her more than it does. But she's not surprised by it.]


... Why are we here?

II. No One's Safe

[She's been here for hours now. At first, she didn't feel drained. She felt fine enough considering her recent death. But the longer and longer they're here the less she feels like herself. Exhaustion settles onto her, as she leans against the closest building.]

I don't want to be here...

Yamato

[personal profile] yamazilla 2016-10-16 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ New. She's new. And this place is new. And this area is new. And those streets are new, those buildings are new, this school is new, everything is new to her. For someone who's rarely stepped outside the harbor, for someone who's used to seeing the rolling clouds over the wavy horizon of the blue ocean (or at least, that's what she gathers from within her heart, what with being without memories), to being stuck such a small town is rather unnerving. She doesn't know how to describe it, but she's feeling cramped here.

Not to mention the incident the town presents. Yamato has questions, yes, but helping others takes precedent. And so, the kanmusu-- shipgirl-- gets to work. ]


Drained Humans, A
[ So about that bus that's rolling down the street. It turns out, it's not just the humans on the street that have been drained of energy. It's also the driver behind the wheel, with a lazy lead-foot on the pedal! The bus takes a sharp turn, seemingly veering out of nowhere, and rushes right towards you. ] Look out--!

[ If you think she'd just push you out of the way, think again. Instead, this kanmusu is going to reach an arm outward, palm out, and stop the bus in its tracks. She doesn't so much as budge, but front of the bus smashes on impact, the airbag immediately triggering to protect its incompetent driver. Metal bends, glass shatters, and steam emerges from the ruined front, but Yamato stands there without batting an eye. She looks over her shoulder. ] ...Are you alight?

No One's Safe A: ROOOAR
[ Historically speaking, the Yamato had used up to 14 tons oil/hour. That translates on her being drained easily anyway, and the effects of this spell only compound matters.

There's a roar. A loud roar, a rumbling that could shake the ground! One may think that it comes from an approaching ayakashi or spirit, but no.

It is her stomach. ]
...E...excuse me. [ Aaaaa how embarrassing! There's a light flush to her face as she places a hand over her stomach. But there it goes again, her stomach grumbling loudly. Ugh, and it hurts! Hunger hurts! She looks rather desperate now, turning to you. ] Rice--! Curry--?! Stew! Steak! On---onigiri?! [ She can't decide, all food sounds delicious to her. ] Do you have any onigiri on hand?!

No One's Safe B: FINE DINING
[ Fortunately she's equipped with a rather hefty crew of chibi-spirits to help her about and prepare a meal. But the problem is that she didn't remember she had them until now. But there they are, small spirits. A lot of them, suddenly appearing out of nowhere and hopping off of her shoulders or off her hips and landing on the ground, making themselves busy.

Suddenly there's a long table. And suddenly it's set with fine china and candles and napkins and flowers. And then suddenly they're serving food on it, enough and with such quality that it could be worthy of a wedding banquet. Yamato looks almost just as clueless as anyone else.

She brings a hand to her cheek, sighing. Might as well just roll with it, and her tone matches the fact that she is so done. ]
Maa, isn't this nice...?

Closed to Yamanami

[ The shinki wanders about the town, knowing she has a purpose to fulfill but ultimately not knowing what that purpose is. Something remains empty in her heart, and she can't help shake the feeling that she must be doing something else besides being here. That her talents are to be used elsewhere. Aimless, that's what she's feeling right now, and that's not something she wants to have any longer than necessary. But it can't be helped, and so with a shake of her head she settles on doing her best to keep the people of this town safe. She's been given little direction from Heaven other than to do that, anyway.

Adjusting the red antenna-fashioned-parasol over her shoulder, she sets off down another lane quietly, looking about her surroundings with a conservative amount of wonder. Just as she's walking back out into a small park, she happens to notice someone else, a tall lean man with his back to her. And then she notices that something's on the ground-- glasses! From the way he was looking around, he must have dropped them earlier. ]
Ah, excuse me, sir...!

[ She says, stepping up a few paces to approach him. She kneels down, picking up the glasses carefully. She straightens up, smiling at him pleasantly. ] You seem to have dropped this.

Drained Hoomans ZOMBIES they're totally zombies k
[ If she touches one on the cheek, they do not move. They sort of just. Move. And wander aimlessly. They could only be one thing-- ] W---WATCH OUT..!

[ Have a Sanae running, jumping, and tackling the nearest absent-minded human next to you. Who probably didn't need to be tackled, but Sanae is doing it anyway. ] This is the beginning of the zombie apocalypse! If they bite you, you'll become one, too!

[ She couldn't be more off. ]

No One's Safe so might as well go home
[ Damn, this turned out to be a drag. Why is she so tired? ] Ahhhhn, I jus' wanna go home and play video games now. It's just... one of those days, you know? [ Have a yawn. ]

Hellish Circle
[ She standing off to the side of the circle, looking towards the cup of blood and mask. If you happen to be nearby, she'll ask: ] That eye... have you seen it before? [ She's seen it often, but what it means in this world and what it means in her world can mean two different things. ]

Wild Card
[ An option to tag Sanae with whatever prompt you like! ]

[Izuku's been tugging people back onto the sidewalks, making sure nobody's getting hit by cars. He can't do too much more for them, but he can at least make sure they don't get seriously injured.

He looks Sanae's way when she starts yelling, completely bewildered. He's seen this happen before. The school incident, where the staff and the students were lifeless.]


... What?
makinuscream: ([grin] cheshire cat)

Kisuke Urahara

[personal profile] makinuscream 2016-10-16 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
Prompt I
Whoa!

[ Index and middle finger together, Urahara gestures in the direction of a man about to topple over the edge of a bridge. Non-verbal kidou is never as strong, but he isn't fighting. This is pure rescue. A line of gold and yellow wraps about the gentle and with a slow gesture, Kisuke reels him back from the edge towards a tree. The line of energy wraps around the truck, tying the man to it. ]

Why don't you sit this one out?

[ Of course there's no response. None at all, but Shinigami are used to be felt and not seen by humans. ]

Looks like we've got our work cut out for us tonight.

Prompt II

We can herd them into the alley and block it off. It's not perfect, but I think we're far enough away from the main action that they should be safe.

[ Kisuke's head tips. The white and green striped hat hides the tiredness in his eyes. There is no reason he should feel so drained which means whatever is affecting the humans is affecting them as well. For a moment his normal, jovial expression turns grim as he looks towards the park. He can feel other souls there fighting.

However, he's been here all of a few hours and would probably be more of a liability in fight than help. Glancing back over at the humans standing docile against the make shift barrier, he frowns. ]

i. Drained Humans

Hey, are you okay?

[ The god peers down at the spiritless guy, waving a hand in front of him. ]

Is this some sort of zombie apocalypse game because I gotta say, you're doing it wrong. I mean, where's your zombie make-up?! [ The armorless blond puts his hand on his hip, looking down at their pristine clothes that don't look apocalyptic at all! ] And don't even get me started on your wardrobe choice. Not very in character.


ii. No One's Safe

[ Despondent in Donut's case is... unique. The fully armored soldier is collapsed on the ground with a magazine spread out before him looking utterly hopeless. If anyone comes up to see what's got the blond so down well... >_> ]

--could they make black the new summer color?! I don't care how slimming it is, it's just wrong.


iii. Hellish Circle

[ The cool looking magic circle grabs the colored soldier's attention and he immediately goes to check it out, maybe see what kind of paint they used. When he gets closer and see's the candles he claps his hands together thinking the whole thing some kind of elaborate May Day Festival. ]

Oh, wow! They have wine!

[ He barely notices the masks in favor of that sweet-looking wine. However, the moment he steps foot in that circle he falters to the side, feeling suddenly drained. ]

Huh, what's happ--

[ He sways, his energy faltering, bring him down. His armor breaks his fall but the moment his knees hit the ground a loud piercing sound is heard to his left and he's suddenly surrounded by bat-like monsters, and he does the only thing such a sight would warrant - He scrambles back and yells for help! ]

[ She exclaims, "struggling" with the dubbed zombie. She's putting a hand to the poor human's chin, shoving it away from her. Really, she's the one creating all of the commotion and resistance with the human, who really just seems to be flopping around. ]

I... Izuku-kun...! Go on, I can take this one...! Save yourself...!

That so?

[He's sure Urahara sensed him coming closer. The man's an incredible talent and nothing dulls his senses. So not introducing himself, and frankly, not really being surprised by him, is not exactly uncommon.]

Sit it out then.

[He commands people. But it never felt right to command him or Yoruichi.]

[ Aqua makes sure to stay just outside the circle, but she can't stand there and do nothing while someone is clearly in trouble. Keyblade in hand, she summons forth a rain storm, and thunderbolts keep those ayakashi away from the man.

She turns to him. ]


Can you move outside of the circle? [ If not, she'll have to drag him out, which is just fine by her, too. ]

It wasn't exactly an apocalypse. There were akayashi that were feeding off of people at a school. There's probably another one around that's doing the same thing now.

Still, he wants this to stop as quickly as they can make it.]


The last time there were weird jello ayakashi. There were three of them in different places and we had to fight them off.

I don't know where they are here, since it's the entire city. But we have to find them to help all these people.

[ Aqua's been busy, between making sure the humans stay safe and fending off ayakashi. It's not exactly an easy job, fighting without a shinki, but she manages alright. Somehow, too, she manages to keep her head about her, and she hasn't quite felt the draining feeling others have. Good thing, too, especially since... ]

Miss? Do you need help?

[ She certainly looks like she does. ]
timeshields: (It's hard to get by just upon a smile)

[personal profile] timeshields 2016-10-16 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She thought she was alone, that's the only reason she was complaining out loud.

The moment she hears Aqua talk to her she straightens up, trying to look composed.]


I'm fine.

[She looks exhausted.]
