006 - Connecting Lines, Connecting Lives
Connecting Lines, Connecting Lives
New Imprints ▲ CommentsIt begins unremarkably enough, with the light tremors of the ground so small they might easily go unnoticed, or else dismissed as the movement of some creature nearby. As time goes on, however, those little tremors begin to grow in both strength and duration, the length of time shortening between each one. To begin with only small, light, unsecured objects are rattled loose by the rumbling of the ground, but as the tremors grow in strength there is a growing danger of much larger things being moved.
The realm’s clear lack of understanding of how things work cannot be relied upon in such a situation. If the tremors have grown strong enough to throw all the books of Hammerhead to the ground and throw over all the clothes rails and capsule machines and furniture in the Academy, then what if they grow strong enough to move the heavy blanket of snow atop Mount Silver? What if they grow strong enough to damage the caverns within?
Then there is the question of how, or why, the realm has made the land shake. It must surely have picked up the idea of an earthquake from someone, right? An answer to the question is not immediately forthcoming, but should one stay low to the ground and listen, they might well hear the muffled, distorted sound of screaming.
Creature Chaos
As the rumbling and shaking continues, it is clear to see that the local wildlife has been disturbed, and they seem remarkably active. Critters can be seen running and flying to and fro, and any who go out to investigate may find themselves the center of attention. Brushboys may paint arrows on the ground in an effort to lead them somewhere, or bluurgobos might actively offer rides, or the flying cat-like creatures will excitedly circle someone before attempting to lead them somewhere. Going along with them will lead to one of two places:
- The meaty, pulsating, cavernous tunnels of Mementos shudder and convulse in a way quite unlike before, and closer inspection will quickly reveal why. The flesh has been cut and torn, hacked apart, leaving gaping and bleeding wounds to spill over the subway tracks. Whichever critter has brought someone here excitedly gestures towards the wounds, and as it does a giant and painful shudder goes through the tunnels and shakes the earth. All those earthquakes… could this be the source?
- The road to the Hammerlocke Citadel Ruins are as long as winding as ever, and precarious with the risk of an earthquake dislodging snow and rock from the mountainside. The animal that has taken the lead is on a mission, however, as unclear as that mission might be. On arriving, it turns its attention to a group of the spiky, bear-headed beasts that are lazing about as though the land is not currently shaking and quaking around them, and tries to draw their attention. Clearly, these bear heads are expected to do something, and they aren’t doing it.
Though the tremors have finally stopped, they have left a significant change to the World in their wake. Where the ground above was once flat and untouched, there now lay cracks and fissures that glow with a strange, but enchantingly warm light. There doesn’t seem to be a single area that has been left untouched by them - though the number of cracks are denser in some places than others, it’s difficult to find a place completely devoid of them. Could this be the world’s attempt at trying to heal itself?
If all of that wasn’t enough to warrant investigation, the sound of whispers that appear to be coming from they might do the trick. Upon closer inspection, however, it becomes apparent that the whispers aren’t coming from the lights, but from inside your own head. Focus a little more, and some of the voices may sound familiar…

Parsee Mizuhashi | Touhou Project | OTA
Parsee was easily found, at any time after the New Years Party, at the Shrine. Even after Melinoe's disappearance, she was just busily sweeping around with a very old looking broom, or pounding on a Taiko drum that had seen better years. If you caught her mid-task, you might hear her whispering 'there, you happy? Shut up for a bit, would ya?' to her various tools. The spiritually attuned, or anyone who'd talked to her probably knew that there were several tsukumogami, awakened tools and musical instruments in the shrine complex, being kept busy by her.
She kept everything clean, and if anyone came to worship, she'd either holler for Viridi or listen to their prayers. A little sign said 'leave the offerings on the altar and show your prayer to the local spirit.' It was better than her eating the prayers.
But what was weird was that, when she didn't think anyone was looking? Parsee seemed to be smiling. Not much. Not broadly. But she was smiling. While people were aware she was a vengeful spirit, there'd been a lot of attempts to treat her differently, to suggest she could be different. And though she hadn't necessarily noticed it herself, something might have slowly begun to change.
Tremors
Greaaaaaat. Parsee was gripping the nearest tree for support and shouting at the Void anywhere that she could seem to find hints of it. "Keep it together you!" She was still, apparently, convinced that the Void itself was a person on some level who could be convinced, coaxed, cajoled and reasoned with.
Either way, as things collapsed around her, she gritted her teeth and looked over at whoever she saw nearest to her. "The hell is going on this time?"
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?!?
Parsee was inside of the Wall Market, staring at the old 'palace' of Don Corneo, not for the first time. As she looked up at the structure, muttering something about how it should really be torn down, but not doing anything about it for the ten-thousandth time, she heard a noise to her right. A can was kicked, and then there it was. Gah, that Nug. The terror of Wall Market.
"Ugh, you ugly bastard. Go on, leave me alone. What do you want anyway? I'm not here for eggs," she said, fending off an egg that it picked up and cast out of the way. She was about to have some serious words with it when suddenly, it let out a sound and was surrounded by a nimbus of light as it came in contact with errant strands of mana mist having floated down to the Market. And then, as the light surrounded it... something amazing happened!
When the light faded, a fully grown bluurgobos was standing there. It let out a wark, charged and barreled right past her, sending the spirit sprawling to the ground with a squawk of her own. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON AROUND HERE?!?" she shouted as the myth of the ghost of Wall Market continued to its next evolution.

Legion | ota
The earthquakes are entirely unanticipated, and it's not long before a particularly powerful one sends Legion tumbling to their hands and knees. Before they can get up, they hear it: the sound of screams, as though the world itself is hurting.
They put their head down against the ground to listen, chattering in concern. It's probably a rather odd sight.)
B) (The unnatural behavior of the animals catches their attention, and they begin to follow out of curiosity long before any effort is made to deliberately lead them.
The winged felids eventually head underground. Legion is hesitant, at first: going into underground tunnels when there are earthquakes seems like a good way to get buried alive. But then more animals come, and by the time there are fellow machines beckoning them into the tunnels instead of attacking, curiosity has overridden caution.
They descend.
And what they find ... well, that again has them hesitating.)
This unit lacks medical expertise.
(They say to the gathered animals. But still, they try to find the worst gash in these strange, fleshy walls, to hold the flesh together and apply pressure to stop the bleeding.
Is this why the world was screaming?
It seems, to them, like the best solution would be to glue or stitch these wounds back together. Now, if only they had the supplies to do so...)
C) (Mostly, their broadcasts over the ley lines are a jumble, over a thousand voices talking at once.)
This is an organic consensus?
(That, however, comes through loud and clear.)

[The quaking earth affected even those living nearer the sky. Lysandra's nest in the Aerial District shook more than enough to knock several decorations she had found and/or been given to the ground and Lysandra fell with. One of the precious items breaks into shards upon contact with the ground. Into the aether many a curse word is uttered by the bird girl.]

[Well this was all odd. But what to do with this new sensation? May as well literally shout into the void.]

viridi | kid icarus | ota
Hear me, gutless peons! Now that my vast and expansive repertoire of powers is slowly returning to my divine being, we're going to see some changes around here!
I hereby declare this world under the jurisdiction of the Forces of Nature! Today shall henceforth be known as Viridi Da --
What do you mean 'everyone got this'? What? That's not a thing; humans don't even have telepathy! You can't just give people telepathy willy-nilly; that's completely irresponsible. They're going to clog up my valuable mental head-space with their asinine mortal problems. ...You know. Like... 'oh no I'm going to die in under a hundred years and I'm grouchy about it' or 'does Sally really like me or does she just like my arbitrary piles of colored paper with numbers on them?' It's so banal they just prattle on and on and on and --
[who is she even talking to??]
[b. outside Mementos]
[Surrounded by a small crowd of bizarre native animals (and a flying chestnut), Viridi is peering into the flesh caves with distinct distaste.]
Oh, no. I'm not going back in that hole. ...I love all of you, but there's no way in h --
[She cuts off as she spots someone else.]
Oh good.
We all voted and decided; you should go in first.

She's in the middle of repackaging fresh meat after making some food for the people up on the ground floor of the Void—Aerith and Zack could probably use something to eat—when she gives this new worldly communication a go. Tifa had sent Cloud up to deliver the food with his fancy new bike, and as she eyes one of the cracks on the narrow street just outside of their stall, a smile crosses her tired face.]
Testing, testing! The Void to Cloud!
[Surprise! Never one to miss her mark, Tifa's voice will be ringing in his head, and whoever else's that might be eavesdropping in... as she's experienced herself. Oops.]
Hope you're not interrupting the whole Void's thoughts with that bike of yours! Can you hear me?
