004 | Too Much Chocolate

Who: Everyone!
What: Passing out chocolates
When: All day March 15, 2016
Where: Throughout Japan
Summary: There is so much leftover chocolate from White Day that the Heavens have asked Far Shore residents to pass out the remaining candies to Near Shore residents.
Warnings: Content warning for: emetophobia and suicide mentions/ideation.



It is the day after White Day and, for some reason, there is a mass of chocolates left over. Oddly enough, these chocolates all appear to have been produced by the same small company: Fujisaki Confectioneries. The Heavens hate to see all of this chocolate that was meant to spread joy to the Near Shore go to waste, so they have asked residents of the Far Shore - specifically all you lovely gods and shinki - to go about Japan and pass out chocolates to unsuspecting humans, who will obviously be grateful for such a thoughtful gift, even from a stranger.

There are two problems, though, both stemming from the fact that the chocolates are 'cursed':

First, gods and shinki are prohibited from eating the chocolate and will face dire consequences if they indulge in the goodies, though the Heavens failed to mention what those consequences might be. Second, Near Shore residents are susceptible to the actual 'curse' that has been placed upon the chocolates, which turns out to actually be small ayakashi who want nothing more than to lead any Near Shore resident that they can to their death.

All gods and shinki have been tasked with this errand, including the group that have just arrived as of today. They will find themselves informed of their situation and then promptly handed a large box of chocolates and told to be on their way to pass them out.

Please remember: The only thing the Heavens have said to the gods and shinki is that they are to hand out chocolates and not eat any themselves. There is no IC information about the chocolates being 'cursed' and they seem like perfectly normal chocolates.



Chocolate Giving

Giving out chocolates might seem like a perfectly easy task, but the people of the Far Shore have always had a hard time being noticed by residents of the Near Shore. It might be difficult to catch someone's attention long enough to actually even pass them a bar of chocolate. In fact, you might have to resort to desperate measures, like stepping directly in front of them or grabbing their hand to stop them from continuing onward. How you catch their attention to give them their treat is entirely up to you, but most Near Shore residents don't particularly like being manhandled.

Dire Consequences

Unfortunately, some shinki and gods will likely give in to temptation and take a bite or more of the chocolates they've been given. Any Far Shore resident who eats the chocolates will find themselves suddenly and violently ill. They might come down with an instant fever, find that they can't control their bowels, or be overcome by intense and overwhelming nausea. The way that the sickness hits will be different for each person. Additionally, any shinki that eats the chocolate will find that they have stung their god, blighting themselves and their god in the process.

Ayakashi

The small ayakashi that were hiding out in the chocolate bars are freed the moment that a Near Shore resident takes a bite of the chocolate. These ayakashi may be small, but they are far from weak. As soon as they are free, they will take up residence on the shoulder of the person they are attached to and begin whispering ideas of death in their ears. All Near Shore residents under this influence will instantly find themselves too depressed to go on and will take immediate action to try and end their own suffering. It's best to kill the ayakashi quickly to stop the inevitable from happening.

Noisy Ayakashi

Oddly enough, some of the chocolate bars do not have the depressing ayakashi hanging out in them, but instead a different kind of ayakashi which seem to be completely alright with leaving the Near Shore residents alone. However, the moment that they lay eyes on a Far Shore resident - be it shinki or god - they will attack with a vicious fervor, obviously intending to do as much harm as possible. These Noisy ayakashi will range in size and shape from bugs all the way to small birds. Thank goodness they're not much larger, because they are harder and it seems they can only be taken down when solid teamwork is involved.



In Summary:
  • Pass out chocolate
  • Don't eat it or you'll get sick
  • Save the people you just gave chocolate to
  • Hope you have friends nearby to kill the Noisy ayakashi with
  • Try not to let anyone die
  • Have fun~

Haha, ouch! [ So savage.

But at least that conversation is done with, concerning Heaven and their apparent plans and reasoning. He's sure Mikleo will greatly be someone he can rely and confide in concerning anything- especially anything that's on his mind, so he'll be sure to do so in case he ever seeks his advice on something.

Ah... yet another jab to his first mistake as a newly God. ]
H,Hey, you can't really blame me! I bet you wanted a bite too!

[ Though ugh he feels a little queasy thinking about it now. A small inhale and exhale to let the moment wash over. However, he trusts Mikleo- he can't explain why, but he does- without any question. So he believes that Mikleo will come back as soon as he learns of what's going on. ]

Yeah.. sure. Stay low, alright? [ Which is basically stay safe, be careful- he wouldn't want for the shinki to get hurt in battle with Sorey unable to back him up with him confided to bed with this sickness. Maybe it should be thought the other way around (that Mikleo is suppose to be backing Sorey up instead) - but he feels more on equal grounds concerning Mikleo. That he's more there to help support and balance him rather than be used.

The thought of shinki being considered only weapons actually leaves a really bad taste in his mouth. He can't think that way at all. ]
I'll try to wait up for you but, no promises. [ A small sheepish laugh. ]

Not when they continued on to say that they were only meant for Near Shore residents.

[In other words: he totally would've taken a bite, but he's never admitting it so bluntly. He doesn't have a sweet tooth, damn it!

Mikleo nods at that and smiles slightly. Sorey putting so much trust in him so quickly and easily is...kind of terrifying in a way. He seriously hopes that he isn't quite this trusting to people he just meets.

On the other hand, the seraph wants to work hard to never betray that trust. He'll just have to make sure to look out for the people who will try to stab his pure of heart god in the back.]


Don't worry about it. You getting enough rest is more important.

[Mikleo takes a moment to fill a mug with clean, cold water and sets it on the nightstand close to Sorey. Then, he leaves the room to go scout out the Near Shore.]
