Room 4-18 and Dormitory Area

[ Once Ryoji has woken up, read his letters and gotten his bearings, he'll be wandering aimlessly through the dorms, looking for other people. He seems a little troubled, but overall he appears more curious than worried. Still riding on the high of events just prior to his showing up here, Ryoji just can't believe the world that was just saved before his eyes could be destroyed just like that - especially without him knowing!

Since the dorms seem to be one of the few places with lights on at present, there are bound to be people here right? No matter who you are or how scary you seem, Ryoji doesn't seem to be afraid to come up to you to say hello! ]


Floor 1

[ Of course, Ryoji doesn't stay in the living quarters all day. There's a whole tower to explore! And this one doesn't have nearly as many floors (it seems) as the one he just came from. The first place he starts poking around after the dorms is the cafeteria. Even if it's dark, he seems to be able to find his way pretty well, though the oatmeal seems to have him confused.

Instead of eating the oatmeal, Ryoji spends a while playing with it. This batch seems pretty sticky, so he's trying to make a snowoatmealman out of it... Maybe you should advise him of its actual purpose... ]

Floors 4, 6, 10, 13 or 25

[ Each of these floors contains either a view of the outside of the tower or else some sort of scenery Ryoji has never actually seen in person before, so he lingers in these places, exploring a little. The cathedral puzzles him (where is that murmuring coming from, anyway?), but the aquarium and the meadow in particular fascinate him - and he stares in open-mouthed, grinning glee at all the pretty colorful fishies and oh wow, so many flowers! He's never seen so may flowers, not even in a flower shop!

... it's probably really obvious he's new, isn't it. Well, hopefully he doesn't get eaten by a fish on his first day or two. ]

Anywhere else you fancy!

[ Is there somewhere else you want to corner Ryoji? The library maybe, or as you're chasing down or running from a monster? Feel free to bring that up, instead. ]

[A field of flowers at night could potentially be dangerous. However when you were the Demi-Fiend, you didn't quite have that problem. What little time he could save to relax, he was taking.

With him, three demonic friends; Pixie who was snoring rather loudly on his shoulder, Cerberus which was acting as a leaning stool for both the half-demon, its it's front foot twitching once in a while as it slept and...this lovely visage. The Night Queen was talking to Naoki, the black feathers of her coat moving in the wind, although where that wind came from was anyone guess.]

...now if you watch closely, Hitoshura, the Casablanca Lilies will bloom quite soon...

[It seemed the member of the Night Race was teaching him...about flowers?]

[death_awaits_you]

[ This place is new and strange, and somehow there's something exciting about finding a whole field of flowers in a building. Ryoji is pretty certain he's never actually seen so many flowers in one place, so he stares and smiles as he wanders about. At first he doesn't really notice the strong demonic presence, but gradually he begins to pick up on it - and one in particular that feels really familiar somehow. It's almost like deja vu, except that Ryoji can tell the difference between shadows and demons, even if he's wholly unfamiliar with the latter...

So of course, his curiosity is piqued, and over he comes. But hearing that the conversation seems to be about flowers, he can't help but gasp out: ] Wow, you know what all of these are?

[worldrestored]

[They all turn in unison at him, although Nyx laughs quietly.]

That I do, Little Death. If Hitoshura accepts it, you may come witness the blooming with us.

[Naoki does feel something strange about him, but if Nyx seems to trust him, he won't mind at all. With a nod, it is all settled; welcome to flower bloom watch club. It's like girl watching only with flowers and with a lot less flirting.]

[death_awaits_you]

[ Being called 'Little Death' makes Ryoji pause, his smile slipping a little as he looks a little closer at Nyx - and then at Naoki. The nod is reassuring to him though he's quick to look back to Nyx quizzically.

But even if there's less flirting, that doesn't mean it'll be completely absent--! ]

Pardon me -- and I really am sorry for interrupting again -- but ... have we met before?
