the sound of the screen starting to play something starts, and ryo just. sighs. before turning around.
Ryo is in a forest.
Or, more accurate, a rainforest. The vegetation is lush, but a little difficult to see in the darkness of night. Mosquitoes and flies buzz around obnoxiously, but he ignores the bugs in favor of the small house that he’s approaching. When he reaches it, he knocks on the door. “Professor Fikira?”
There’s no answer. He pulls the door open and steps inside, calling out Fikira’s name as he walks. It doesn’t take too long to find who he’s looking for–an older man who seems to be hammering something on a table. Blood spurts out with every hit and, when Ryo becomes closer, it becomes apparent that it’s some kind of bird.
“The chirping birds were getting on my nerves,” Fikira says. “But they’re caught now, finally. They’re quiet now.”
Ryo stares in disbelief. The man excuses himself and leaves the house, heading out into the forest. Regathering his composure, Ryo exits after him, getting into a jeep to look for the professor. It takes some time, but he eventually locates a small clearing. Ryo exits the vehicle, pausing when he notices a small container of fuel abandoned on the ground. As he examines it, Fikira, fully naked, appears.
With a pickaxe.
He strikes at Ryo, who barely dodges. The axe sinks into the side of the jeep and he pulls it out to swipe at Ryo again. Ryo manages to get enough space between them to pull out a gun and fire at the other man, which is enough to stop him. They stare at each other.
“This is,” Fikira mumbles, and his face begins to distort violently, bulging out until his mouth enlarges considerably and his teeth grow into fangs. He uses the axe to hook into the container of fuel and he pours it into his mouth.
Ryo watches, his gun still pointed at the man. “What are you doing?!”
“I can’t keep it down,” Fikira says as the gasoline pours over him. “I must die while I’m still human. He pulls out a lighter, and Ryo yells for him to stop. Fikira simply grins. “A shame, since I came to know more about you.”
He sets himself aflame. The fire quickly consumes his body, which begins to distort even further. A giant mouth forms over his chest and teeth jut out, as well as many limbs. His monstrous form screams as he burns, and he shakes violently.
Oh... well, society learned about demons, and it basically became extremely chaotic. The government didn't know what to do, and citizens began to turn on each other and attack anyone.

...any luck?
[sue him, he's curious. he's not the one doing the breaking and entering but he does want to see]
no subject
[ he looks curiously at the door before stepping away to grab a large rock
he's going to smash this into the window instead of picking the lock like a normal person. ]
no subject
[it's not like they really have lockpicks? he watches this happen, not bothering to stop him, then scoots over to peek through the window.
looks at the pictures the mods gave us. looks at this house.
...]
-oh. Hm. Not sure how much I want to see of the inside, actually.
no subject
[ this. sure is something. ryo briefly wonders if he should throw another rock inside for good measure. ]
I guess we shouldn't have expected anything to be normal here.
no subject
...do you think it's worth checking, anyway, or should we just... leave this be.
[he'd very much like the latter.]
no subject
[ he takes a step back. he doesn't know there is a screen behind them. ]
no subject
[noooo murder. he is also unaware of the screen, or he would be Fucking Running.]

All Ryo can do is run away. ]
Ugh.

[what. what the fuck. what. what happened there, he wants to ask, but honestly after seeing how that happened
he just looks a little sick, at first, taking a minute to sort of stabilize.]
no subject
ryo has to take a moment, pinching the bridge of his nose before he speaks. ]</small. Well. Great.
no subject
[it is probably politer to ask permission for questions. however, to reiterate, what in the fuck.]
no subject
Well, he was a human but then he was possessed by one.

actually makes him laugh ]
Something very wrong, yes. It's what ended up killing me eventually.
no subject
[grotesque and possibly on fire...]
What did kill you, if I can ask?
[ryo doesn't have to answer, but if he's just putting it out there, well. he may as well ask it.]
no subject
[ a pause. ]
I got stuck in the crossfire of that.
