٭Thirtieth Summoning٭[Video: Sensory Overload]

[exiledarcana]

[When the feed starts, Ryoji's sitting on the back corner of his bed, seeming to have this far away look in his eyes. He seems to be incredibly fascinated by the few letters that are visible on the communicator as it records him. They're each giving off a sort of color and sound to him, and he's really very fascinated in it. In fact, every sound he

[He's just gotten out of the shower. Didn't seem to care to put on a shirt...or dry his hair. Or self. He's wearing pants though, not that the video feed should be going any lower then his chest.

But he looks down. Extremely down.] Ah. Doubt it's....[trails off for a moment.]...drugs...maybe...probably. I...don't know.

[It's another moment before Ryoji replies. He's too absorbed in how each spoken word seems to come with its own small burst of color. He smiles a bit at the private light show. He can only get a small lingering taste and smell of the worlds, due to this being a video, but it doesn't bother him. It's still nice.]

Well...I can't say [He pauses, finding the word 'say' to be especially pleasurable to the senses.] I really mind then...

[Video]

[notasidedick]

Eh.... [Was he supposed to answer back? This must be a terrible idea. Huh.]

Whys it matter if we drink more water? What's the point?

[Video]

[exiledarcana]

[He feels a sudden cool, refreshing and soothing feeling wash over him as he hears the word 'water' come from someone else's mouth.]

Ah...? To re-hydrate from last week.

[Video]

[notasidedick]

Eh...it would be okay to die. Or not re-hydrate. [He's looked away at the video feed and is staring off.

and he's stopped actually talking for a minute.] Dying...huh.

[Video]

[exiledarcana]

[Ryoji whimpers a bit at the talk of dying and shakes his head, not enjoying the sounds he's receiving from the colors of these words.]

No...no dying. Please.

Re: [Video]

[notasidedick]

Why not? I'm worthless here. There's nothing I can do here. I might as well...

[He's looking around. Maybe he can actually do this dying thing. He doesn't really have anything to work with.]

[Video]

[exiledarcana]

[He's really not enjoying the colors he's seeing from these combinations of words and it's making him worry as his pain reflex to someone suffering kicks in.]

...Would you like to talk someone about it then?

Re: [Video]

[notasidedick]

No. I don't. [There's no reason for him to tell some stranger. It's just not worth their time.] I...I'm sure I don't really want to talk. It wouldn't do anything. Make anything better. It would all still be the same.

[exiledarcana]

[Ryoji leans forward, examining him a bit, looking quite sympathetic, as a god of death, well...he feels it's his duty to assist him. And this sensation he's being submerged in, due to this weeks testing? Well, it's got him feeling a bit more willing to tap into his godly powers for once.]

...Would you like me to make it stop?

[He says this very calmly and quiet and smiling, as if to relax someone who was throwing a tantrum and needed to be sedated.]

Re: [Video]

[notasidedick]

[He glances at the feed. The guy is examining him. Probably seeing how worthless he is. How stupid. He should see it. Dick can see it everytime he glances at the mirror. He leans away. He doesn't want the other to see him like this. It just makes him worst.]

Stop? Make what stop?

[Video]

[exiledarcana]

[He flashes him a warm smile to show he means no harm and pulls away so he stops seeming so threatening.]

The pain you're in. It must hurt.

Re: [Video]

[notasidedick]

[He's not looking at you again. His attention is elsewhere.]

The injuries? They make things hurt less. Maybe...[Maybe if he hurt himself, this feeling will go away? That might work.]

[Video]

[exiledarcana]

[Regardless of what you say, Ryoji still thinks it might be easier if he just killed you, since it wouldn't hurt either of you and what not.]

Not the injuries, it's something inside of you that's hurting.

[Video]

[notasidedick]

[You'd be in his presence. He can't make someone risk being in his presence in person. He's worthless.]

I think...I think I can fix it myself. I'm not sure. I guess I'll have to.

[Video]

[exiledarcana]

[A gentle look of concern as he moves the communicator away a bit so he can stretch out on his bed.]

Well, if you feel you need me to ease some of your pain, I'm in 17A.
