Who: Bat!Johnny and anyone~
When: All week~
Where: All over the place~ Even up on the island, if you want.
Style: Action would be best, I think
Status: Ooopen~

[You might be minding your own business, out for a walk or sitting peacefully alone. But, whatever you're doing, it's about to be interrupted by a small, palm-sized bat with golden eyes landing on you.

Maybe on the shoulder, maybe in that comfy new fur you've grown or in-between those adorable ears; one thing's for certain: this bat is a cuddle-bug and will be snuggling into whatever warmth you can provide.

....

He's cold, dammit.]

Who: You, you and YOU! Anyone who is up for some good ol' sparring/training/getting their face beaten in
Where: In the park
When: All week, starting on the 20th!
Style: Anything goes!
Status: OPEN


It's a good week in the bubble! ...Then again, every week is fairly pleasant, temperature wise, in this little city under the sea.

But!

This week is extra pleasant, because there are training dummies set up all over the field in the park, all ready and waiting to be smacked around or smashed into itty bitty bits. Oh, but if hitting dummies aren't your thing, there are also targets for the archers and marksmen who want to get some target practice set up at the north end, cordoned off so people don't accidentally wander into the line of fire. And for those who'd rather play it safe or would like start learning the art of battle, there are plenty of practice weapons in... wheelbarrows? at the corners of the field.

Well, okay, this week would actually be unpleasant if you use the park for some peace and quiet. But for everyone else wanting to get some good old fashioned sparring and training in, this week's a great time to do it!

Who: Johnny Rayflo and Anyone~
Where: In the plaza
When: Aug. 14th
Style: Action
Status: OPEN~


[As if waking up from a nightmare, Johnny gasped, eyes shooting open and darting around as if expecting there to be danger. What his eyes found, however, was the familiar scenery of the plaza in the bubble. The island...he’d been on the island, fighting that thing with Otoha. It came back to him in a rush, the tension, the feeling of something piercing his heart and his mind shutting down as his body fell apart...]

So that’s what that feels like.

[He sighed. As his heart rate calmed, he stood from his kneeling position, and brought a hand to run through his sopping hair and worked on wringing it out. The last time he’d found himself like this was a year ago...at least, this time, he wasn’t wearing that heavy-as-hell opera costume.

As he pulled his hands away from his hair, he realized they were shaking. He was shaking.

He’d died. Really died. He was fairly certain he’d died back home in that fight against Barry...but he couldn’t remember and Chris had said he didn’t. But the fight on the island, he remembered that, every second of it, including his death. It had scared him. It was the strangest feeling, after seven hundred years of living and a part of him always looking for a way to die, he didn't want to anymore.

So this is what it felt like to want to live.]

Who: Amaterasu and ~YOU~
Where: By Lamufao or throughout Vatheon
When: August 13th, afternoon to evening
Style: Action
Status: Open!

[Amaterasu's journey home meant a lot. She returned, finished off Yami, and ascended to the Celestial Plain. She stayed there, restoring it, and sent her son to Nippon when it was in danger yet again, so that she could continue to repair the damage to the heavens.

One of the things she was definitely not expecting? Showing back up in Vatheon! She looks around, surprised, and shakes her fur dry. She's got a much healthier glow to her than before, and those who believe in gods can easily see her more elegant markings of divinity. In fact, after the whole ordeal, many people who didn't believe in gods may be seeing more than usual!

Ammy is definitely interested in meeting back up with everyone and seeing if they're alright. Though it's been a few years for her, everything looks exactly as it was. Wibbly wobbly timey-wimey? Hmm. The first order of business is to check her house, but she wastes no time in dashing through the streets, exploring all of the main areas, hoping to run into friends.]

Who: The invading Yami, Those who become brush gods, and other fighters on the Island.
Where: The Island
When: Saturday (all day)
Style: Action
Status: Open!

[After a whole evening of fighting, Yami finally relinquishes something - an orb of light that was ripped from Amaterasu. It's the power of Bloom, and it finds its host in leu of Amaterasu.

There is hope, now. With the power of bloom, the core can be exposed and progress can be made in this fight. Cooperation is key, and timing is crucial.

↪ Last leg of the First Form. In the morning, Yami's first form struggles to hold on. Bloom, Rejuvenation, and Power Slash are released.

↪ The Second Form. After a long battle, the sun should be rising... but there's a shroud of darkness over the sky, and Yami changes shape instead of succumbing to defeat. With aid of the brush gods, Cherry Bomb, Waterspout, and Crescent are released.

↪ The Third Form. Crescent summons the spirit of a warrior, known to Amaterasu as Nagi, that slices Yami in two. Yami roars, but changes yet again. It's around midday, yet still pitch dark... but there's light illuminating the casino-like panels on Yami. When the right panels are struck, Galestorm, Inferno, and Veil of Mist are released.

↪ The Fourth Form. The sun should be setting now, and the darkness grows darker. Yami assumes a more powerful form, that's extremely mobile and even more dangerous. For the persistent and the brave, as well as the large number of freed Brush Gods, they will deal a fair blow. Catwalk, Thunderstorm, and Blizzard are released. With all 12 free, it should be a cake walk, right?

As the hour reaches midnight, the darkness reaches a peak. Yami shifts into its final form, casting all into impenetrable darkness. Its shell is perfectly guarded, and until the dark is lifted, Yami is invincible. Only a miracle can save you now...]

Who: all of vatheon
Where: all over vatheon + the island
When: friday evening - saturday evening
Style: any
Status: open - threadhop & threadjack away!

[ all friday evening, the locals have been very accelerated - you might find one shoving a flyer on you or handing you a pair of cheap sunglasses. the flyers more or less explain the reason why, and if you didn't get one you'll be receiving a message on your SFC regardless - ]

ECLIPSE ON THE ISLAND TONIGHT!! COME JOIN US!!

[ apparently there's to be an eclipse this evening. the entire bubble itself will be darkened as it usually is at night sans for electrical lights and the coral, but the real show will be able to be seen on the island. it sounds interesting, so maybe you want to check it out? a lot of other people are going—

although if you do decide to visit the island that evening, you might be in for an unexpected surprise. sure, the eclipse itself is pretty fantastic and not a thing one would expect to be able to see in vatheon of all places, but there's something else on the horizon... ]

Where: Fountains
When: August 6th, around dark
Style: Starting [Action], but I'll follow your lead
Warnings: None right now

( Lead me a light? )

Who: Akihiko and You!
Where: In or just outside the Volo Dorms.
When: afternoon (?)
Style: Either is fine.
Status: Open!

[For Akihiko, being sick or injured can be compared to severe punishment. Relaxation is not part of his regular vocabulary. It is also extremely difficult to pacify him with quiet, solitary activities like reading or watching television.

Having broken ribs was alright, or another similar injury. One can still walk and get around with that. But getting shot in the leg is another story. The first night he fell subject to the coral's side effects of healing and slept. But once the restful slumber ended, the books Mitsuru brought him to read could only hold his attention for so long.

Today, he moves slowly and carefully towards the doors after cautiously descending the stairs of the dormitory. It'll get better faster if he walks on it, right? Maybe there's something to cull his boredom nearby.

And hopefully nobody is around to drag him back inside.]

Who: Two gay sparklepires and their 'victim' (After he wakes up)
When: Night of the 14th
Where: Otoha's Bar

[He knew Otoha would be tired after all the activities of the day and tonight seemed like just as good a night as any to put his plan into action. He sent a message to Fai telling him where to meet him and gathered the things he'd been slowly collecting over the week. With Minea's help, vampire and cat-demon-maid made their way to the bar.

Setting all the stuff down, Johnny leaned against the wall outside to wait.]

What: It's Friday 13^th and Silver is a bored teen with a gengar. Mischief and mayhem ensures.
Where: All around Vatheon
