010 | Relief and Rescue

Who: Everyone!
What: Cleanup and moral support
When: All day May 16
Where: Just outside of Tokyo
Summary: It's time to get rid of the mess that that demon made!



The attack by the demon recently has left the surrounding area in a very sorry state. Not only are some people still hospitalized or slowly recovering from the affects of the draining of their life force, but a lot of nasty accidents happened during the time that people were walking around like they were dead to the world. It's been attributed to an odd natural disaster, and many think it may have been an illness that caused it.

The Heavens have decided to send any available gods and shinki down to help out in the relief efforts. If they try hard enough, they should be easily seen for the times when they are helping people out, so it shouldn't be a problem.

On top of that, some new arrivals have suddenly appeared. Amaterasu has left them little handwritten notes pinned to their shirts:

'These people need your help! I'm sorry to throw you into things like this, but please do what you can.

☼ Amaterasu ☼'


And yes, she has doodled little suns next to her name.



Care

There are a lot of people who were left hurt because of the incident with the demon and they are still trying to recover from it. From broken bones all the way to mental trauma, these people have seen a lot of crazy stuff and they aren't feeling so hot. Any kind of care is viable, but you might also want to just be an errand-runner in order to help the qualified people who are already doing a pretty good job of helping these poor folks out.

Food

A fair number of homes and stores managed to get destroyed amidst everything going on with the demon, so there's a lot of work for the neighborhood to do in helping them out. Whether by helping to rebuild what has been broken or by just handing out some free food to the people who need it. Of course, you might also take some food for yourself. Hopefully you're not a horrible enough person to just steal from the homeless~

Literal Cleaning

And here's where the fun comes in. The buildings that need to be rebuilt and the streets that need to be cleaned up are all under works and you can help in any way you deem worthy. You might carry loads or actually put forth the effort to help rebuild some lost homes, it's up to you. Of course, if you set about helping out in this way, you might notice little fairy-like spirits flitting around each of the Near Shore residents who are working hard to help each other out. The little spirits shine brightly and seem to shy away if approached, but they titter happily anytime the person they're following does something nice.

Banquet

After the day is done, the Heavens have a special treat set up for anyone who helped out - a large banquet in the Meeting Hall back on the Far Shore. Just like any other banquet, there is food and booze of every kind available. But also, the small tittering bright white spirits are in attendance, following around any Far Shore resident who helped out today. You might find yourself with a new friend or two who won't leave you alone, who keep giggling anytime you're kind, and who don't seem to be able to talk and only exude delight and good feelings.



In Summary:
  • Help out the people affected by the demon
  • Give out food to people who need it
  • Clean up the messes
  • Eat some good food, drink some good booze
  • Have fun~

Hey—! Don't save that! [What is this, prison??]

Aim it away if you really thought it was a laser! [Though, come to think of it, she has no idea if lasers can harm her that much. Physical things don't, but lasers are kind of a different story. Besides which...]

... What was with that weird filter? That wasn't a thermal.
latentforlife: (Default)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-11-28 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her image leaves the screen and the camera flips to use the back side, pointing away from her. He continues to communicate with her though even he doesn't quite understand how with no mouth or ears.]

Hey! Okay, I think I can delete that. Maybe. Anyways, don't ask me how I know this but I think that picture showed me... er... you your own aura.

You have a connection to fire or heat. Your aura is powerful so... I guess that makes you better than human. You're strong willed and a survivor. You're currently a little curious and interested in... something. Probably whatever it is I can do.

Oh, and you've got some bad karma that seems to be part of who you are now.


[He can picture and analyze auras? Is that a thing he could always do? Shuusei's wondering just how he knows the things he does.]
heatupnever: (00)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-11-29 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, the bad karma part doesn't surprise her, but the fact that that's a thing that can be sensed is new to her. Even though it...probably shouldn't, considering she's supposedly a god now, but hell if she knows how this works.]

Yeah? Wouldn't say I'm better than human, exactly.

[It's pretty disconcerting, but not really any more invasive than psychometry. And anyway, that stuff wasn't anything she was hiding. Even if he did phrase it in flattering terms. "Bad karma" is just another way of saying "bad person," isn't it? Heh.]

Hey. How about that person over there? [She points his camera toward an innocuous group of people across the street.]
latentforlife: (Default)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-11-30 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Not that he is anyone to judge. He doesn't even know who he was in life. When she redirects the camera at the group of people he shakes free of his thoughts.]

It's pretty exhausting to force the camera to work myself. I think if you just hit the right shoulder button it should snap a picture for you. I'll get this one though.

[The picture is taken and it shows the a lighter aura for those people. Not as prominent or detailed. Their aura's coloring though is predominately grays and silvers.]

It looks like they've got normal aura's and the color suggests they're somewhere ranging from tired to depressed or sad.

[Considering they're outside a home that's seen better days and still has a long ways to go, chances are that's related.]
heatupnever: (necro over)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-01 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
So it works on... [... What are they called again? Near residents or something?] Those guys.

[Gods and shinki can waltz in front of them and they wouldn't notice, though. On the other hand, she has no idea how to experiment or whatever with this stuff; the only reason she knew about the additional abilities they gave her was cuz they told her.]

If you're tired, want to revert to your human form?
latentforlife: (And left us somewhat reelin')

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-02 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it works on just about anyone.

[Maybe? His experience with this has been these two pictures.]

I think I'm ready to be me again. This is cool, but also so weird.

Oh! Before I forget. I seem to have one more app that's strange but I can't seem to activate it. It's like an itch on your back you can't quite reach. I know it's there.


[He flips off the camera and goes back to the menu, scrolling past a few things including some built in games until a program/app called "Rend" shows up.]

heatupnever: (accel key beast)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-02 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, that. A part of her is tempted to use it just to see what it does, but how it works was never explained to her (or it was explained after she stopped listening), and given its nature and the proximity of the Nearians, she doesn't want to come under the scrutiny of the higher-ups for now.]

Shuusei Kagari.

[At least they know it's there.]

Rend is an attack or something. Like a Ma— [Wait, he wouldn't know what a Maximum Drive is.] Like a finisher, against ayakashi, which are things they want us to get rid of.
latentforlife: (Who sang for you and me?)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-03 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[This time he lands on his feet. He teeters a bit when he regains having actual legs and the ability to balance but manages to stay standing.

That's going to take getting used to.]


So we're not just here for community service?

[He kind of got where this was going with the confusion about him not being a weapon and all. Shuusei just smiles though.]

So we fight these things and then you finish them off with that? Do I just rough them up or something?
heatupnever: (accel key beast)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-03 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You can think of it as a different kind of community service, if you want. [Since ayakashi are supposed to be negative somethings, it's totally different from beating up and/or killing people for money. Pretty much community service considering nobody gets paid except with not-death.]

I've never fought one, either. Since we have to do it together, it's probably a pain in the ass. [There's working in a team, and then there's that.]

Don't think about this too hard, but you have experience in roughing things up?
latentforlife: (Default)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-04 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, I guess I could go pick a fight with someone and see what happens.

[That's mostly a joke. Mostly.]

Maybe we should figure out if we can even fight together? Are you any good?
heatupnever: (necro over)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-04 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm really good.

[He sounds like he was joking, but that's not a half-bad idea.]

Catch. [SUDDENLY there's a kick aimed at his head]
latentforlife: (So the years rolled by and several died)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-06 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[Here he was making light of this and now there's a kick flying at his head. He gives a start before dropping below it just in time.

His reflexes are good at least! He's already rolling to the side to put some space between them. He definitely was not ready to catch it though. Maybe when he gets on his feet again.]

Woah!
heatupnever: (accel key beast)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-06 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Got some distance instead of counterattacking, huh?

[She reaches for the gun in her leg holster before remembering that she hid it back when she first arrived here. She produces it from underneath her jacket instead, and holds it out to him.]

Try this. [Since it's what she uses herself when she can't get close.]
latentforlife: (Who sang for you and me?)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-07 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I guess I either have a big flight reflex or I just like having breathing room.

[He looks to the gun when she holds it out to him. He cautiously at first takes it but it settles easily in his hand.]

It feels... dead.

[That's not the right word but its the closest he can guess. He holds it out and aims it easily. Surprising how comfortable he is with it.

He's not aiming at her. He's aiming at a nearby garbage can near some uninhabited rubble.]


Is it armed?
heatupnever: (bean beast bird)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-07 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't know? Just check.

[He talked about it in terms she's never heard of before, which could mean he's used to the kind of unconventional weapon in the same way that NEVERs or T2's are unconventional weapons, but might as well check.]
latentforlife: (We're seven drunken pirates)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-08 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[He holds his gun and turns it a bit this way and that, not sure exactly what he is looking for. Finally finding the release, he checks the clip.]

Oh, okay. Got it.

[Locking it back in place, he takes aim again and fires off a shot. His target isn't hard to hit, so it's not too impressive when he does hit it.]
heatupnever: (accel key beast)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-08 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice shot. [That's one mystery solved.] You want to keep that one?

[So she says, already turning around to leave.]

Let's get out of here, everybody probably heard that.

[Gods and shinki being hard to notice is one thing, but she doesn't want to stick around in case the people nearby really did react to the sound of gunfire.]
latentforlife: (And left us somewhat reelin')

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-09 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. If I'm supposed to fight for you it might be good to have by my side.

[And a gun feels comfortable enough even though he doesn't seem to have a place to store it.

In fact, his first instinct is to look around for a place to put it that is not on his person. It takes him a moment to realize that's silly and instead just relaxes his arm and holds it at his side.]


Good idea. No need to get emergency services involved in something other than the restoration efforts.
heatupnever: (bean beast bird)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-09 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Then take this, too. [She hands over the spare magazine she had.]

It's not emergency services I'm worried about. [Hnm...] Teleporting would be easier. You done here?
latentforlife: (And left us somewhat reelin')

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-12 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

[A gun, that feels familiar enough to give him the advantage he needs in a fight. More familiar than being a hand held gaming system.

Wait, what did she just say?]


Teleporting?
heatupnever: (00)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-12 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Well, whatever, she can always bring him back. Besides they'd been standing around for a while, so maybe she hadn't actually interrupted anything when she grabbed him.]

Hang on. [She puts a hand on his shoulder, and off they go to Surtr temple.]
latentforlife: (And left us somewhat reelin')

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-13 01:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[And off they go.

Teleporting.

When they arrive Shuusei just stands there a moment without moving. He then slowly sits down staring straight ahead.

Then he takes a deep breath, letting it slowly out. At the end of this ritual he talks. This is a lot to take in. First being dead, then the being a game system/weapon, now teleporting.]


How? Where?
heatupnever: (bean beast bird)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-13 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're asking how teleporting works, I have no idea.

[She kicks back on a bench.]

As long as it works. We're at Surtr Temple. Make yourself at home or whatever.
latentforlife: (Default)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2016-12-13 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's going to take a moment before standing and making his way around, finally getting a look at the temple they call home.

Maybe if he just doesn't think about the teleporting thing, much like he doesn't think about the death thing, it'll all be okay.]


Did you make it like this?
heatupnever: (someone else's harmonica)

[personal profile] heatupnever 2016-12-14 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Do I look like I'd create something like this? [She says, while lounging around.]

You seem kinda freaked out. You don't like it?
