Posted: May 15th
From: Aidos


February 15, the beginning:
There was a banquet to welcome them and we native gods were given instructions to make them feel welcome and help them acclimate. Amaterasu was present but she didn't show herself.

New arrivals.

February 24, a rift on the Near Shore:
The assault and ensuing battle lasted until mid afternoon of the next day. Amaterasu again sounded the call to arms but didn't show herself. Hajime's already mentioned this.

New arrivals.

March 5, Hinamatsuri celebration:
A banquet, as well as Heavenly orders to prevent a number of unoccupied boats on the Kamo River from striking the banks. The boats seemed supernaturally driven towards beaching on the edge of the river.

New arrivals.

March 15, poisoned chocolates:
There were a bunch of left over chocolates from White Day, so the Heavens asked us to give them out. However something went wrong at some point where they were delivered from the heavens to us because all the chocolate was ayakashi infused. Some of them were small and tried to make people commit suicide. The strange ayakashi from the Susano'o rebellion were also present here, and those only attacked gods and shinki.

All chocolates were of the same brand, Fujisaki Confectioneries. Anybody from the Far Shore who ate that chocolate had food poisoning.

We don't have any hard numbers, but Amaterasu did release a statement after it happened. But considering how many chocolates were given out I doubt we managed to collect all of it back, casualties were probably somewhere in thirties or above.

A statement from Amaterasu.

New arrivals.

March 26, cherry blossom viewing, part 1:
A completely normal cherry blossom viewing at night. No attacks. The Heaven's provided a banquet as an apology.

New arrivals.

April 5, school ayakashi:
There was a large public school in Tokyo where most of the teachers fell ill. It seemed suspicious to the Heavens, so we were sent to look into it. Apparently the illness was upsetting entire families, some of the teachers were looking to quit and a lot of the students were planning on transferring.

We heard a male voice say, "Ah, yes. I know you're all eager to go home, but please indulge me just this once. I need your spirits now, students. Be sure they are nice and energetic for me," over the speakers. The doors locked and then there were jello-like ayakashi with cords.

The jello ayakashi arrived after the doors locked. The students panicked and tried to get out of the doors and windows.

Everything unlocked after they were dealt with. The ayakashi cords seemed to come from principal, but I don't know if he was the person who was speaking or if there was somebody else. Principal was passed out and covered in green jello, but otherwise he seemed fine.

New arrivals.

April 15, spring cleaning:
We were asked to clean out the Main Hall of the Heavens, older temples and were given dinner. There were some interesting finds, but other than that no attacks.

New arrivals.

April 19, Susano'o's rebellion:
Susano'o's warning

Susano'o had augmented ayakashi for his own gain (?). There was also a shinki that went out of control, but seems to be fine now. Susano'o died, impaled on his shinki's claws.

Amaterasu's statement on the rebellion

Suijin's report

April 25, the cherry blossom fires:
We were given a picnic, food provided by the Heavens. This time the cherry blossoms' scent was intoxicating (why? It's hard to look into it since they've burned.) Around sunset the fire began, spreading through them unnaturally fast. There were papers that read "Down with the Heavens! Down with Amatarasu!" There's a possibility this incident was tied to the poisoned chocolates during March.

New arrivals.

April 28, ayakashi in heaven:
Axel turned into an akayashi from asking after his memories and thus turned into an ayakashi. Every god who had him as a nora was affected by blight.

He died and did not return.

Add's statement

May 4, vampire attack:
There are vampires in the Heavens? Attacked at least Kido and Hajime, neither died from the attack, but they were drained of blood. Vampire (?) had white hair and red eyes- possibly his quirk?

May 5, despondent Near Shore residents:
Humans were walking into things and getting hit by things and not reacting. They weren't paying attention to the danger around them (brought to mind the school ayakashi incident), but this time it affected an entire town instead of just one school.

The longer we were there the worse we felt. It seemed as though energy was being drained from our bodies? I spiraled into thinking about all the things I wasn't able to do. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

There was a large park in the center of this town, and it had a weird circle.
Picture attached

It was around the entire park, there were candles around the edges. It looked like there was a cup in the middle, with a swirling eye pattern mask on it.

Assumption: a large scale ayakashi induced this state?

New arrivals.


I haven't been here since the beginning and I don't think I'm aware of everything that's happened. So if you have something to add or questions, hopefully we can use this to better consolidate our information.

[ooc: feel free to threadjack away on this!]

Whooaaaa~ Wow Dekukuku has been busy! Is this from your diary?

There's only like one maybe two things I see missing and thats because it was before you arrived! I showed up towards the end of February tho so.

See this; I do miss Susu-kun even after everything that happened. Axel too.

[fullcowl]

I've just been keeping a log. So I guess, sort of?

What did you experience, Hajime?

I didn't really know Susano'o, but I do miss Axel.

[galactically]

that vampire had some kind of tattoo on his neck that glows just like his eyes do! and he grew nails like they were claws

so horrifying!

[fullcowl]

You were attacked too? Are you alright?

[socials]

This is very useful, Midoriya. Thank you for putting it together.

I discussed this previously with another god, but I have a feeling that there's someone that knows about the dates of new arrivals and locations for events the Heavens have attempted to conduct. Through what means, and who they might be, I'm not sure. But it's happened far too often for us to simply pass off as coincidence.

I arrived April 5, so I can't speak of anything earlier than that, and know that it was a special circumstance where we were all called to act, but all events after that have any association with the Heavens have had something happen despite any safeguards that might have been put into action.

[fullcowl]

I figured it would be good to get everybody up to speed. And it'll be here when we get our new arrivals, so they won't be as clueless. It's something and I think these are events we need to be aware of as a community.

I don't think we can consider it coincidence at this point. We'll have to look out for what happens when the next wave of arrivals happens. Though I'm still not really sure what happened during the May 5th event. I saw some ayakashi but I don't think I've seen anything that affected such a wide range before.

[subtract]

Useful. It looks like there were some events that I missed out on near the start of the month. [since he was kind of busy freaking out, nearly dying twice and then hiding in the temple for the rest of the week...]

Do you know if there were any others who encountered this vampire?

[fullcowl]

I know there was at least one other person. Sheryl was attacked but wasn't bitten. I saw him when I was getting Kido away from him.

[reformedsinner]

March 5: Hinamatsuri celebration. A banquet, as well as Heavenly orders to prevent a number of unoccupied boats on the Kamo River from striking the banks. The boats seemed supernaturally driven towards beaching on the edge of the river.

There were no ayakashi or other hazards, however.

[fullcowl]

Huh, Hajime mentioned that one too. It's a little weird that the boats hit the edges the river so often, but that doesn't seem too danger.

[toremainbehind]

May 4: There's no denying it was a vampire. He appeared to be a young man to be in his late teens.

May 5: I've also experienced the energy draining. A god named Sora and I ran into an ayakashi that seemed to be able to shape-shift. I'm not sure if it was helping in draining energy, though.

[fullcowl]

Shape-shifting ayakshi, huh...

Was there only one of it's kind?

[revolutionfalcon]

I'd heard about the chocolates, but not in detail, so it's useful to know how that actually happened.

May 4: I was attacked by that thing as well, it was almost definitely a vampire. He was stronger than any normal human.

[Private]

May 5: I'd think twice before adding this publically, but that mask represented an enemy the heavens had encountered before and they thought they'd dealt with. Apparently he is (or they are, it could be more than one) called the Sorcerer.

[fullcowl]

That's why I put it up. It's better for everyone if we keep informed.

[Private]

It's happened before? That's not reassuring. Were they dealt with then?

Private

[miraculo]

the vampire was Zero, he was a dear friend.

after he attacked myself as well, i found him through scrying on may 11th. but he had already transformed into an ayakashi by then...

i'm sorry, i couldn't help him by then.

Private

[fullcowl]

I'm sorry you lost your friend, Sanae.

It's always hard losing people, especially when they go like that.

[returnedfromtheline]

Thanks for putting all this in one place. You're right, it'll be good for the new arrivals to be able to use this to catch up.

And before you arrived there were two events, but the others have told you about those. [Good job, Hakkai-san. And Hajime-sama talked about the initial incident.]

About the chocolates, are you trying to say that there might still be some left on the Near Shore?

[Private text]

I have a feeling your assumption about what happened on May 5th is wrong, if that picture of the mask is accurate. A powerful ayakashi was probably just the product of whatever that creepy setup was.

Text

[fullcowl]

At this point, I think they've probably all been eaten. It's been too long. I think investigating the company the chocolates came from might help, but again, it's been months now.

[Private]

The product? Like some kind of summoning?

Have you seen that mask before?

[dominatriarch]

Thank you for compiling everything. I'm sure this information will come in handy down the line someday. If I might add:

February 15 was when the first new arrivals came to the Far Shore. There was a banquet to welcome them and we native gods were given instructions to make them feel welcome and help them acclimate. Amaterasu was present but she didn't show herself.

February 24 was when a rift opened on the Near Shore. The assault and ensuing battle lasted until mid afternoon of the next day. Amaterasu again sounded the call to arms but didn't show herself. Hajime's already mentioned this.

The next event was the Hinamatsuri celebration on March 5th but Hakkai has already mentioned that.

[fullcowl]

Thank you for filling in the dates I didn't have.

Other than the new arrivals on February 15th, nothing strange happened?

[missingache]

The spring cleaning wasn't fun. There was a monster in a closet. It wasn't an ayakashi, just a manticore, so I think one of the previous gods just left it in there and forgot about it.

About every ten to eleven days there's new people that show up. I think it'll happen again tomorrow.

[It's just something he's noticed as a trend.]

[fullcowl]

You found a monster? I just found a room full of weapons.

[Still weird.]

I think so too. It seems the pattern hasn't deviated at all.

[slantedcross]

Am I the first to suggest that we no longer permit new arrivals? I don't want to be, because it's logical, but I do want to be, because it's a bit unfair to them.

[fullcowl]

I'm not sure if we can try to stop it when we don't even know what's causing it in the first place. A lot of us aren't originally from here, but we haven't figured out the mechanism that's been bringing us to the heavens.

[He's not convinced this will stay up forever.]

How very helpful! Have you thought about publishing all of this as a book?

[fullcowl]

I have a journal.
