[Video]

Hey guys, guys! I managed to work out a new attack up here! See, check this out!

[ The video shows Rin excited... but anyone who hasn't seen him while his sword is drawn might be a little surprised. His fangs and ears are both longer, and he also has blue "horns" on his head made out of blue fire. He's also got a rather large demonic aura right now, but you can't sense that through the book. And once he steps back from the video, he's got elongated claws and the end of his tail has flames too.

He's set the book up against a boulder and he's clearly somewhere up in the mountains. He's shouting at the book so that it's more clear what he's doing. But first things first, he surrounds himself and his sword with some of his blue flames ]

Okay so I did work out how to control my flames a while back [for the most part... the barrier's given him some issues when it coms to very fine tuned things] and I can also do stuff like this!

[ And at this, pointing out a decent sized rock over here, he slices it with his flaming sword - and the sword slices the rock clean in half. While he does this he also lets out a bit of an echoing shout, to focus himself. In the aftermath, though, the rock does still seem to be on fire still (blue fire) oops. But either way!! ]

See? But now I worked out something else, so check this out.

[ And he steps back, pulls his sword back, and focuses. The camera angle isn't great to see it, but in the distance there's several cans set up to stand on top of some big rock. And then he brings his sword in a downward arc and calls out: ]

Satan Slash!

[ And with that, a wave of blue fire which may or may not be semi-solid flies out from his sword (like so) and -- while he intends to knock over the cans alone the wave is too big and sends them flying back a bit. But they are not lit on fire, nor was anything else.

Either way, he turns back to the camera, grinning ]

So uh, sorry for bein' out in the mountains for a while now, but I pulled this off! I'll try no to bring any bears back to town, and I'll be back soon.

[Voice]

[So over the course of the event Rin got a lot of silly hats. Including but not limited to stuff like this or this or even this. And many more. He thought they would look good on cute girls but... he didn't get too many chances to put them on anyone. Oops. So now he's got them in his house and...]

So uh, does anyone want some silly hats? [A beat] I mean, I got a lot of them over that whole... thing with Valentines. [Awkward. Sigh] So, I don't really need them, but does anyone want these things? Some of them are pretty cool!

[...]

Yeah, so aside from that, anyone got some recipes they really like? Maybe I can learn them and that'll add some more stuff to Seventh Heaven's menu.

[And with a cough he then ends the broadcast, feeling a little sheepish. He'll just leave it at that]

( Stage Setting )

[(Edited In) Morning Action]
When he wakes up the next morning, he remembers that he was shot. As far as he knows, unless he melted them or burned the or something, he's still got three bullets inside of him. Actually, when he sits up in the morning, he realizes it hurts to sit up, now he's at 50%. He groans, and after scribbling something for Shiemi and Izumo about going to the hospital, he head off to the Med Center.

To ask what to do about bullets in him. He'll be showing up at about noon]

[Voice]
[Later in the day, once he's slept and gone to the hospital, he puts on the voice for the journal-] Oiiii! Who the hell's got my sword?! If you don't fork it over, I'm gonna find you, and you're gonna regret taking iiiit!!

[Because that's why I had to come back.

...Well not entirely, but enough of the reason for him to be even more mad than he should be for someone taking his father's legacy. Not like they could know.]

[Action]
[More to give himself something to focus on which isn't the fact he's back and other people aren't, he goes to fruitlessly work Seventh Heaven to cook for whoever comes in. And damn does he hope someone come in. He actually stays there way beyond when he usually would - way past his usual shift. Sure he's missing the sunlight (which he sorely missed in Vaskoth) but it's so misty and there's a lot of rats he needs to clean out for some reason.

Either way, by the time he actually steps out of it, it's nightfall...

An ghosts are partying in the square. His last experience with ghosts was really annoying, but these guys actually seem cool, so he deigns to party with them for a while. It's fun! ...Aside from when they prank him, but he can survive that! Run into him there, at the job, or other places between]

[Video-y]

[So Ryoji Announcing in the other day reminded him. So he's on a video now! He's shirtless. His tail is behind him, and he's blushing. He is flustered and stuff! So he comes on the video and... bows to the video]

I'm sorry! During that pageant a while back! I uh, caused a problem for a lot of people [by burning their clothes off] and so I'm sorry for that! [He gets up, bows again, and then gets up again. ...Before itching his muscular abs, feeling awkward. Where should he- oh right!] And uh... Congrats, Fenimore! I already congratulated Shiemi, but you got straight up third place! That's awesome!

...Oh right, and I'm sorry I signed you up if you didn't enjoy that, Cloche.

[...Ehehe. He grins, sheepishly before he goes to pick up the journal and have it look over the pool behind house 15] I'm finally done repairing this pool! So if you want you can come swim at it! Behind House 15, that is.

[He means the people he's apologizing to. but this is an open entry so be brings it back up to his face now]

And uh, that's it.

[Action]

( the context )

Come on, you got- [the scythe deflects his last blow, though it does not slice the wooden sword in half just yet, mercifully] whoa- [Rin then flips back, doing a standing backflip back, causing his tail to fly back a bit and when he lands, some more blue flames sprout up into being on his shoulders as he smirks and lunges a strike which actually manages to connect with the old Scyther's shoulder] There!

[ Yes, the fight raced through the forest and finally made it into town, or well, the edges of town. On one end there is Tracey's Scyther who despite being old and more than a little tired by now, is refusing to admit defeat to this actually amazingly strong "human" in front of him. On the other side is Rin, who now has his shoulders and parts of his upper arms tinged with sparks of blue fire and a wooden sword in his hand. His clothing is ripped in place, and he has a few splotches of blood on him, though no obvious wounds (thanks healing factor!). He also has his tail exposed for once. It's waving behind him, because his shirt ripped in just the right spot to expose it mid-fight and he's not been in a position to put it back away.

Despite the fact that they're fighting, those who knows to sense the mood of combat ought to sense that the two are not doing this out of hatred or anything. In fact, both seem to be very excited and have quickly developed an odd sense of admiration for the other's ability. The only minor exception to this is the fact that Rin is still rearing to go while scyther is obviously tiring out (so Rin might have his sword just sliced in half soon enough). So, well. Feel free to run into this scene]
