Characters: Ryoji and OPEN!
Setting: Floor Six (The Forest), Floor Twenty Two (The Art Gallery)
Format: Action
Summary: Ryoji's taken it upon himself to explore a bit - and maybe get a little practice in.
Warning: Possible violence (depending who tags him/how threads go), gore, mentions of death.


[Upon reaching this floor, Ryoji seeks out a good place to practice with Thanatos. This forest seems like an alright place, and he heads away from the staircase a bit so no one passing through will get hit. Still, from the staircase one might hear crashing as he fires a few Megidola spells off, as well as practicing with Tempest Slash.]

[Anyone going to investigate might find him casting a healing spell to recover the spent energy on his physical attacks, or just sitting against a tree. Those who are familiar with such things will note that he doesn't have an Evoker on him.]



[Ryoji's always considered himself a fan of art - in various different forms, but art galleries are always peaceful, right?]

[And so he finds himself on this floor, walking around the gallery a little, looking at the paintings of strange locales.]

[And suddenly the paintings aren't so nice anymore. The whole place seems darker, and many of the paintings are now of people dying in gruesome ways - torture, organs ripped out, clawing at their own faces. As he backs away and tries to find where he came from, he turns to see a painting of Minato and Minako dead in front of the Nyx Avatar.]

… That's wrong. We… we defeated it.

[He makes another turn, trying to figure out how to get back to the staircase, and runs into another painting - this one of himself as the Avatar, face a rotting corpse and the city below him, dark and dead.]

No - ! Stop it! I -

[He runs through the gallery, desperately trying to find an exit.]
