Later and soon. I hope we can play for a good long time." She hoped, or seemed to at least, that they could be naked under the moon. Or even the ocean. A blush rapidly spread across his cheeks and he nodded fervently. "I would like nothing more than be naked with you under the Moon or in the ocean. I'll see if I can make it happen. Promise." Then she realized he'd said two pears, not one, and he saw her eyes light up. She was so excited that then and there he made a conscious decision to start bringing her pears when he could, and keep extra at the house. It was something so simple that made her so happy. Why wouldn't he? "Yeah, <em>two</em> pears. And they're just for you." <br/><br/>And that was it. That was the last thing he knew before the lovely, completely non-threatening and totally not evil voice rang out in his head, causing him to leave a slightly confused Kyless where she was, talking to him like he still cared to hear what she had to say. At this point though, he didn't. He cared for nothing in this world, except to follow the compulsion of the voice, for her dulcet tones were absolute, and who was he to deny them? His only purpose, his sole reason for existing was to do what she said. So he did. He followed the bidding of the voice, only nodding his head slowly whenever she spoke while he walked ever toward the destination she'd chosen for him.<br/><br/> He never realized he left the club, never realized the change in temperature, or how his breath turned into little clumps of steam as he walked through the cold night. He showed no reaction at all until she began to berate him, calling him weak minded. A solitary tear fell and slipped down his cheek, perhaps some miniscule form of resistance born from him being harder on himself than anyone else, but that was it. His footsteps didn't even falter, and he continued on. She said his father was ashamed, and he could only agree, as Azmodiel probably was ashamed of his only hybrid son. His half-siblings were so much better, because the voice implied it, so it had to be true. Another tear, and he just kept walking.<br/><br/> He made it a few more steps before the compulsion vanished, and all at once, he was back. He didn't realize he'd left, but was suddenly taking deep gasping breaths and looking around, and that was when he realized he wasn't in the club. The last thing he remembered was standing there on the balcony, talking to Kyless about fruits and starlit nudity. Now he was...where was he? "Where am I? What....how am I even here? I was. I <em>know</em> I was talking to Kyless." His brain was already beginning to shift gears, because something like this had never happened in his entire life, and he was 100% sure it wasn't his powers.<br/><br/> The fog of uncertainty was lifted when Toshiro's voice came in through his comm, and already Ryu could tell the man was trying to maintain his calm, but failing as bad tiding after bad tiding was relayed to him. "Toshiro!? Yeah, I can hear you, what's wrong? What about Mallory?!" He was told that someone broke Kyless' bracelet, and she had cast an illusion over the club. And if that wasn't bad enough, Mallory got hurt, Lily was trying to help... "What about Leasick, Kevin? Are they still in position?! Nooooo. Nonononono. I just woke up and I'm at least two blocks away from the club. I don't even know how I got here or remember leaving Kyless side. Something <em>really</em> bad is going on!!"<br/><br/> He was already turning to head back to the club, his feet thudding on the pavement as his speed increased. He was in such a panic, he'd completely forgotten just how useful his portals were, as the only thing on his mind was his sister, his friends, and Kyless' being okay. Toshiro told him more bad news while he was hauling ass, informing him that the demons were being possessed or something, and that meant a nearly infinite combination of powers could be running amok soon in the night club. "Fuck. Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckfuck!!" When the doctor told him to "get back to the van", he remembered earlier in the night when he'd popped his head in to mess with him. He could teleport! Why was he running?! <br/><br/>Bending his knees, he jumped, launching into the air and grabbing a street light that he swung around like a gymnast before letting go and soaring into an opened portal. The connector opened above the van, and he landed on the roof, unable to stick his landing and rolling off because his mind was all over the place. Whatever had come over him seemed to have some lingering effects. He stood up quickly though, opening the back door of the van and stepping up inside, breathing hard and already looking at the camera feed. He couldn't believe what he was seeing, and could only nod to Toshiro in greeting. Once he had a moment to sit down, focus, and breathe, he began to regain his composure and it was much needed at the moment. Then, finally, as he turned to Toshiro, the man would be able to see his blue eyes glowing with such intensity they illuminated the van, and wisps of shadow were beginning to come off of him like steam. Toshiro had never really seen Ryusei angry before, and this would be the first time.  "Dr...tell me <em>everything</em>. Then I'm gonna get our people back."<br/></span><br/>
