[The video feed opens to show what appears to be a back corner of a tavern that is likely not the most reputable establishment in this or any other world. Judging by the sound of the surrounding noise, there's a fight going on elsewhere in the tavern. Ryo's sitting at a table in that back corner, and he doesn't really seem to care about the noise.]
So, that sword stuck in the stone...did anyone actually--
[Whatever Ryo was about to ask is cut off by a drunken brawl raucously crashing across his table. He should probably think about going somewhere nicer in the future. Before he can do anything other than look a bit ticked off, one of the men who slammed into the table drunkenly rolls to his feet.]
Hey! Hey! It's one 'o them heroes what's supposed t' be stoppin' them thorns!
[The guy's clearly had too many drinks to be thinking straight. He's now giving Ryo an aggressive prod to the chest.]
But he's just sittin' here on his bum like the rest 'o us! Huh? You got somethin' t' say t' that, hero boy?
[Good job, random townsperson. Of all the heroes you could have chosen to tick off, you've irritated the guy this place has pegged as a berserker. Ryo wastes no time in letting the drunk guy have it with a punch to the face, and now the drunk guy's equally drunk friends are a little upset. Looks like this could turn nasty, and Ryo has forgotten that he's got an audience on the Orb.]

...so I somehow never got this notif O.o
...calming. He could do that, right? Like Purify, only...
Nodding to himself, he closed his eyes, a soft white aura building up around him, his hair starting to move in it's unseen wind. With a very slow gesture, he curls the energy around his hand before pushing it outward into the barrier.
It's a soft glow, bringing with it the cool warmth of spring and the scent of new growth and clean air as it gently wraps around the raging warrior, bringing with it the overwhelming sense of calm serenity. Sitting by a babbling brook while sakura petals fall slowly around. The last few snowflakes of the end of winter melting on the new green grass. The soft quiet of the first light of dawn.
Calm. Quiet. Still.]]
Weird o.O
Then, at last, the transformation melts away, leaving Ryo standing there in the barrier, looking around at all the mess.]

Welcome back.

How bad's the damage?
no subject
no subject
[But hey, at least he hadn't stabbed anyone. That was always a pleasant surprise when Gills was involved.]
no subject
Better to just knock them around than do any real damage, right?
[[far easier to do clean up after that way...]]
no subject
[He's kind of nudging one of the unconscious people on the floor with one of his feet.]
Cuts down on the number of doctors we'd need in here...
no subject
[[speaking, time to check all the KOed drunks to see if they're in need of healing. Sigh.]]
no subject
I've got to wonder how they've even survived this long.
no subject
[[It's not even sarcasm as he lifts a hand to waft a soft white healing spell over the downed man]]
no subject
Have you always been able to do that sort of thing? Has it ever given you problems?
[A valid question, given what it might cause back home...the human mind wasn't always equipped to deal with power. And sometimes, that power wouldn't manifest properly. Then you'd get stuck with a creature like him.]

I've seen someone bring a guy back from the dead using stuff like that...she burned herself out. Used too much power--she can't do it anymore.
[He's more than seen it used He was the dead guy in question.]
no subject
[[and he trails off, looking to the side.]]
no subject
...sorry to hear that.

no subject
[There's a headshake of his own.]
Far too complicated.
no subject
[[looks over]] How are you feeling, by the way?
[[Since you did kinda turn into a giant bug monster and all.]]
no subject
[Really, he looks pretty good for a guy who just single-handedly cleared out a bar.]
Becoming Gills doesn't do a number on my body like it used to.
[Amazing what coming back from the dead can cure. And at least he's confirmed that yes, this is a perfectly normal thing for him.]
no subject
no subject
Yeah, pretty much. Usually the guys I'm fighting, too, but I've been working on holding back.
[Which is hard when you're a giant bug monster that hates everything.]
no subject
no subject
[He scowls a little bit. This fight so wasn't his fault.]
no subject
Here, let's get out of here so they can start cleaning up.
