September Catch-All | OPEN

[onethirdthesoul]

Characters: Ryou and YOU!
Date: September 10th~30th (after he and Yami Bakura clear things up)
Location: Around Keeliai, Mu-Hao
Situation: Many
Warnings/Rating: None yet.

[part a]
[In spite of some warnings from the Spirit himself, Ryou didn't wait to see if everyone heard their message. It's possible someone might still mistake them, but he decided to simply tie his hair up and tuck it into a hat instead of worrying himself sick. It doesn't do much, but it's a start.

Properly "disguised", he can be seen around the less shady looking parts of Keeliai, a sketchpad and colored pencils in hand. Even with the maps Solomon provided him, making a diorama of the turtle was going to need some personal experience. The map gave him layouts, but it didn't really provide that glimmer of insight that distinguished each sector. Even if he didn't have to toll away on the details like he would a game of Monster World, he feels the context of color, at the very least, will help.]

[part b]
He also stops at several food stands along the way, so passersby might notice him snacking as he diligently colors in little sketches of the more fantastical parts of each Sector. Is he still researching, or is he just gathering ideas for his next tabletop at this point?]

This would make a really cool final boss arena...! [Well, that answers that.]

((ooc: Prose or brackets is fine! If you want to do anything specific and would like to set something up outside of these prompts, feel free to PP/PM me! I'll add it to the top-level prompts.))

[Ryou said he'd see him later. He didn't say when, and really he hadn't planned on coming over today at all, but he just happened to be inspecting the Fire Sector when he passed by the Huo-Hao suite.

It only took him a moment to make his decision before he walked right in and greeted the giant turtle there.]

Hello, Emily-Helen-chan. Is Baku-san home?

Solomon Wreath;

[Since Ryou was working on the diorama for Solomon, he'd invited him to come over and have a look at its work-in-progress today. He even had a nice stack of notes from his ventures to go with it.]

Hello, Wreath-san! It's nice to see you again. My room's this way. [Gesturing him inside (and making sure he removes his shoes first), Ryou leads the older man up to his room and to the table where his diorama was making progress.

It's pretty fairly sized at about six feet length-wise, and keeping the general proportions of turtle shell's width with it. Instead of building it on an actual curved surface Ryou's opted for a rectangular table for stability's sake. It doesn't have enough of an effect on the proportions to be an issue, and Ryou's already done a rough-but-efficient painting for the type of ground in each section, as well as having marked off the edges of the shell.

Set aside on one corner of the table are a lot of different sized and shaped buildings with references on them to relate them back to where they should be on the map. It looks like he's tackled the basic silhouettes for most of the major buildings, but hasn't done any detail work yet.]

Okay, this is what I have so far! What do you think?

[While taking notes in the Fire Sector, Ryou began to wander a little too far off the main road, eventually finding himself in a narrow and dingy alleyway. A few intimidating natives stepped up to greet him just as he was turning to leave. Some were his height, some were a fair bit taller, and they all certainly looked tougher as they leered at him, making your typical threats.]

I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean-- [He's cut off as one of the larger member shoves him, and then it becomes almost a game as he's shoved, stumbling back and forth between the three of them. Ryou tried to protest, but he often couldn't get the words out, and he was terrified.]

S-stop it!! [One more harsh shove to the chest sent him, and a good chunk of his work, straight to the ground.]

Korra;

[As promised, the day after they first spoke over the console, Ryou arrived at the dojo with a small backpack in tow. Since it was already in the Wood Sector he decided just to walk, testing his by-foot navigation skills. Needless to say he got lost once or twice, but he still made it on time. Nothing like leaving way earlier than necessary!]

Korra? [He looked around as he walked into the main area, finally breaking into a grin when he saw her.]

Hello! Good afternoon!
