WHO: Ryoji, OTA
WHERE: in woods
WHEN: May 25-ish
WHAT: unstatuing, aka meet Thanatos, aka Jorogumo's not the only monster in the woods
WARNINGS: none
NOTES: forest lake info
i.
[ Oh. This is weird. Ryoji's foot lands heavily on the ground, and stands still by the very edge of the woods, turning his head this way and that. He was just out walking, but he could feel that lapse throw off his sense of time-- stiff limbs, the imperceptible changes that that he can't ignore: the blades of grass are longer, flower buds dotting the path in greys and dark greys. It's hot, and he tugs at the scarf around his neck, because it's suddenly ten degrees hotter and almost suffocating.
Unbeknownst to him, it'd been three weeks since he had been turned into a statue and made to stand guard here, but no more. He turns his head to the woods, staring for a moment... he should go home and figure out what happened? but he believes he'd find his answers in the forest with the demons... and so then finally steps off the path, bounding lightly through the trees— darkness, shadow, and in the next clearing, a monster stands in his place: Thanatos, with its wide mantle of coffins boring into the packed trees around him as it takes off in flight- low enough to the ground that the toothed sword in its hands drags along the ground and marks its path.
Joggers, patrol groups, poor innocent people who just wanted to try foraging berries and didn't want to encounter monsters today, sorry. Thanatos isn't quiet in its approach, with snapping branches and cracking stone, a little path of destruction in its wake to warn people before and after. Run? Engage? It definitely looks evil, exuding an oppressive aura and drawing darkness towards itself until the woods drown in shadow. ]

[ Any blue characters... small prompt here for a Jorogumo if you want to play it out; Thanatos would be able to take it down like it's child's play, so whether it's your character happening upon Thanatos and Jorogumo already engaged in battle, or Thanatos coming across you and the monster, we can play something out o7 ]

[ meeting Ryoji himself and not Thanatos, inbox things, etc. I'm easing myself off semi-hiatus, so! waves hands, I can be contacted at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

dextera shakes his head. how to...? with his free hand, instead of thinking to sign it, he frantically gestures a halo. not a demon. an angel, but perhaps worse, in some ways. ]
no subject
Here, it'll be fine as long as they don't touch the demon, so Ryoji insists on tugging Dextera back towards the lake— there were supposed to be dependencies between appearances and that's how you tell them apart, and he'll show him. ]
no subject
dextera doesn't fight ryoji, when he pulls him back toward the lake, but it's with a reluctance that he moves now. the archangel—it's not strange, for him to be intangible. he has no solid form, trapped on the consciousness orb as he is, and so this could actually be him.
muscles tense, dextera squeezes ryoji's hand. ]
no subject
It's okay, it's okay. It's dark out, but it's not the overwhelming darkness of that cavern he'd last seen the demon, and it appears as if the demon is contained beyond the surface of the water. Ryoji eases Dextera to the edge of the water, and then down to a crouch so that they're closer and he can point things out.
A hand over the water, tracing out "Minato"s smile. That's weird already. ]
no subject
he shakes his head, more firmly, refusing to follow ryoji’s guide. the longer he looks, the more he wants to see, and he catches the movement of the archangel’s hand in that mirror-perfect glaze.
beckoning, for once; not telling him to go. ]
no subject
In the wet, muddy banks of the lakeside, Ryoji writes out these words:
"Is there anything you want to ask him?"
In case the demon can't understand sign language, maybe Ryoji can ask for him. ]
no subject
...
[ he covers his eyes, shaking his head. is this one of the demons that ryoji was talking about? even if it isn't, it has to be an illusion. the archangel has never looked like this, without an ulterior motive. ]
