<center><b>(Quintus)</b></center> <i>Molten glass isn't really my forte but I do know a few that can easily arrange such a creative execution~</i> Byakuran administers you a proud pat on the back before calling on a man wearing a hastily made velociraptor mask. Unlike the other guests the man does not greet Byakuran with praises instead opting to groan in annoyance. His clothing is also less than regal and his hair suggests that he recently woke up or doesn't believe in the use of mirrors. <i>What is i-</i> Before the man can finish Byakuran chimes in and commands. <i>Zakuro could you bring in Mukuro-kun~</i> Annoyed, Zakuro takes out a tiny handheld device and presses a button. Within moments a teen with a playful smile materializes near you. Like a wraith the teen has purple smoke foaming at his legs and an unusually sharp trident in both hands. You may have noticed more of the teen if he didn't seem to be in the middle of fading out of existence every second. The teen's clothing slowly fading in and out with the rest of his body leaving only his silver collar behind with each temporary fade. Byakuran intent on carrying out his plans pays no mind to the condition of the boy and simply waves Zakuro away. A gesture that Zakuro is more than happy to act upon if his rapid leave is any indication. <i>Mukuro-kun can you show my new friend your talent. An amazing illusion of molten glass coating the dirty birds down there will do and please make it permanent~</i> <i>I could use some new decorations for my garden.</i> The teen doesn't show any indication of hearing Byakuran's words but he does open his hand and allow a puff of purple smoke to assimilate into the air. It begins with an agonized shriek ... The random people you pointed out are suddenly doused with molten glass that came out of thin air. As the glass makes contact their skin burns releasing once whole strands of hair. They have no time or ability to run as the molten glass makes putty out of their faces easily fusing with eyes and noses. The initial shriek is accompanied with groans of pain ... The people you have chosen are given no method of escape as the substance spreads to the rest of their body trapping them in a clear coffin. Those who were lucky enough to die through suffocation or complete loss of scalp don't have to suffer anymore in the sealing glass. While those who had the tenacity to live feel as their limbs are encased in inescapable glass and their body is compressed to terrible degree. The groans of these people last the longest until their lives are snuffed out one by one in meticulous order. The groans of pain are book ended by mass frenzy ... The rest of the guests watch in horror at the fate of those selected and immediate panic ensues. You watch as a once immaculate party gives way to a frenzy befitting wild animals instead of people. Byakuran claps as the guests below claw at the doors with desperation of stampede over each other with no reason behind it. <i>Quintus what do you have next in mind?</i>

<center><b>(Quintus)</b></center> <i>I know I chose right~</i> Byakuran happily says as he swiftly takes your hand and pulls you toward the balcony edge. The force he pulls you with is enough to send your body toward the marble, but Byakuran is careful enough to slow your approach so you gently bump the barrier. Then he randomly points at all the people with unsteady feet that have clearly imbibed themselves with no rhyme or reason. He simply directs you attention to all of them one by one with the occasional chuckle of amusement. Finally, when he has seemingly pointed out every drunkard in the vicinity he says to you with a playful tone. <i>So tell me Quintus which one of these piggies should I rid this place of first? They have all done numerous bad deeds and are horrible people through and through so I have no qualms about picking off any one of them.</i> He places one of his hands on your head and ruffles your hair a bit. <i>I just want to see how fun you can be in picking a punishment. Tell me anything you come up with and we can watch right here from the best seat.</i> <i>Don't take too long though~</i> Byakuran chimes out. <i>Things have gone on for long enough already and I hate being bored.</i>

<center><b>(Quintus)</b></center> Byakuran gives you a wry glance. <i>It's easier to ask what crimes these people haven't committed while they were still alive and frolicking.</i> The pale haired entertainer opens his arms out to accept the pandemonium below and laughs over the screams of those trying to escape. The few individuals remaining behind you almost cower under Byakuran's exuberance. <i>Drunk under the power given to them by titles, knowledge, and family these people committed actions that would make any moral man squirm. They lent themselves to habits that have sealed their fate to the cold pits once described by Dante himself~</i> Byakuran brings his arms back to himself and starts to point off people. Listing the deeds they have done with every accusatory point. <i>That man you see petrified in an eternal scream gave himself to the sin of greed. He stole money from those that could barely feed themselves and used it to make statues in his image.</i> <i>That lady missing an arm indulged herself in the best her wrath had to offer. She ordered killing everyday for everyone that so much as looked at her the wrong way.</i> <i>While the man that escorts her in the afterlife opened himself to the lust in his heart and stole girls in the middle of the night from they safety of their beds.</i> Byakuran's list goes on and on until all sins are reiterated multiple times then like a merciful king he sadly states. <i>I invited them to my happy home to see if they would repent, but alas they drank and indulged like pigs to a slaughter. Their behavior must have disgusted you as it did for me since you were able to give such a harsh judgement.</i>

<center><b>(Quintus)</b></center> <i>Awww you poor dear...</i> Byakuran coos out as he watches your predicament with a hint of curiosity and a tinge of annoyance that tugs at his smile. He places one of his hands on your left shoulder in a comforting gesture and then motions to a girl with long brown hair in an otherwise boring maid outfit. Unlike the rest of the guests on the balcony the girl had just arrived with a tray in hand. The tray had been empty, but her hands had been occupied with a black capsule up until Byakuran beckoned to her. Easily forgotten the capsule now rests on the tray as the girl bows to Byakuran before focusing her dull eyes on you. <i>Ayaka dear could you escort my new friend to the bathroom so that he can regain his wits.</i> The girl nods her head at the request and gently takes an open hand of yours to guide. If you were to follow along then she would pass you through emptied halls and quiet passageways before bringing you in front of a fancy, wooden door. The girls does not make any light conversation and upon arrival she merely motions to the door. <i>Bathroom.</i> Is all the girl says. After saying this the girl picks at a left fringe in her hair without a care in the world. From where you are standing you can still hear the frantic screams of trapped guests, but the girl absently hums along to them as if it were a merry tune. Somehow the capsule placed on her tray has remained standing upright the entire time as some black liquid within it has shifted occasionally.

<center><b>(Kazuya, Florina, H20)</b></center> Gamma takes the release of Yuni as an act of good faith and is able to communicate. <i>Byakuran is an unparalleled genius that can see many possibilities at once. He can see the outcomes of many different dice rolls and make predictions from the paths presented to him. The most frightening thing about him is hi-</i> Before he is cut off by gravity itself once again taking hold . It all suddenly happens after the sound of a single solitary clap is heard. Gamma begins to fall before he can utter many words and before anyone could react the man hits the floor with a sickly crack. Yuni's face pales considerably. <i>Byakuran-sama ...</i> Her shock palpable in her words as bleak darkness encroaches upon the dining room. Along with the darkness comes strands of light that immediately cause all demons to dissapear and all traces of inhuman abilities. Temporarily reducing you and your companions to mere men with cool weapons. You feel the man that caused this before you see him. You can feel twinkling laughter touch your ears. A warm presence seep into your bones. The slight brush of feathers against your shoulder blades. The sensation broken once the man is ready to speak and when he does his voice echoes across the room. <i>I have gotten bored of all the shuffling about like rats. If you wanted to meet me you could have walked up and asked. My curious little intruders~</i>

<center><b>(Kazuya)</b></center> You approach the miniature crater that Gamma had fallen into and can right away notice that the man's face is a pulsating mass of blood and broken bones. His nose is almost dangling from his face while his blond hair is dirtied with the clumping of blood and dirt. Some of the floor's material had a chance to dig into various parts of his body upon impact. Brutally damaging the form of his back along with the structure of his neck which hangs to the side. The only indication that this mess of a human is still alive is the light raising of his chest, but it becomes less pronounced with time. Each additional breath rattles out the first notes of death. Yuni barely recovers from her shock, but upon seeing you approach her close friend she runs after you to look at the damage. Upon seeing the state of Gamma she draws in a sharp breath and falls to her knees. <i>Gamma please stay with me.</i> She almost begs as tears roll down her formerly porcelain face. <i>I need you ...</i> Sobs wrack her tiny voice and her head bows with her quacking body. <center><b>(Kazuya, Florina, H20)</b></center> Byakuran watches the scene with a mirthful smile as he tries to suppress his laughter by wrapping both of his arms around his stomach. <i>This has to be the first time I've ever seen a mafioso cry like that~</i> He laughs so hard that at the end of the humorous bout he is left panting with his hands on his knees. <i>You'd think that someone who issues death for a living would be able to take it but apparently we have some hypocritical saints in this place.</i> Byakuran then side eyes you and your companions and perkily answers. <i>I just got bored. Is that simple enough for you.</i> <i>All of this ...</i> He gestures around at the interior of the room. <i>Is out of boredom and a general distaste for people.</i>

<center><b>(Kazuya, H20, Florina)</b></center> The claws fail to do any meaningful damage to you or your allies, but Byakuran still grins. This failure of an attack doesn't dissuade him in the least. After striking a couple of times at the liquid wall the black claws retreat into Byakuran's back as smoothly as they came out. <i>This might actually be a lot more fun than I thought~</i> Byakuran hums this out and then allows the water to begin to cover him. He awaits the approach of the bullets too yet before anything actually hurts he raises the same ringed finger and releases another powerful shockwave. The wave blows the water right off him and deflects the bullets right back at you. <i>I'm not one to wax so much poetic so i'll just show you another cool trick of mine. You should be thankful to be seeing so much from me.</i> Closing his left hand allows a visible black flame to form between his clenched fingers. The black flame sucks some heat from the room and is let go once Byakuran's hand is almost eclipsed by the luminosity of the flame. When released the black flame immediately spirals into a fire tornado that light elements of the room on fire as it approaches you. The black flames almost form a maw at their directed tip as they propel toward you with the full intent of burning you alive.

<center><b>(Kazuya, H20, and Florina)</b></center> <i>Nope ...</i> Byakuran stretches out the word in a lazy manner. <i>To all of your attempts to figure me out.</i> <i>I don't have any reason to fear any of you and I am not doing much to anyone.</i> Byakuran calmly strolls over to Yuni's grieving form and roughly grabs her by a few blue strands of her hair. He then fully grabs the back of her head to pull her up like a rag doll. Yuni tries to squirm out of Byakuran's ironclad grip, but finds that she can't. Much to his amusement and he then turns around to present Yuni's fruitless struggles to you and your companions. As Yuni is held up and displayed, she tries harder to force Byakuran to let go. Flames of orange sprout from various parts of her body and release enough heat and light to make anyone uncomfortable in the girl's presence. These brilliant flames attempt to lash at Byakuran's pale hands, but they barely leave a mark. The flames lick at Byakuran's fingers to no avail as the one being attacked merely watches with a detached smile. Soon enough Yuni hangs limp as her flames become smaller and smaller until they are no more. Byakuran finally speaks once the little show is over. <i>This is my tool that brought tragedy upon herself.</i> He passes a hand under Yuni's head in an ostentatious manner and suddenly with no warning he tosses her body toward you and your allies. <i>I am done using her so you can dispose of her or use her as you wish. I won't judge what you decide to do.</i> Should you catch her or not obviously matters little to him. Byakura stops paying attention to Yuni once she is gone. <i>Like I said before, I am just bored and all of my toys have stopped being fun to use.</i> <i>So will you newcomers be my new toys across many variations of this place~</i>

<center>(Kazuya, H20, and Florina)</center> <i>Hmmm no wonder I hate humans.</i> Byakuran raises a single finger of his that is adorned with a ring containing an orange, egg-shaped gem with outstretched angel wings attached. He takes but a moment to close his eyes and the gemstone on the ring is lit with a brilliant flame like the one that had come from Yuni. Then as his legs are approached he flicks the finger and a powerful shock wave emanates from it . The shock wave is powerful enough to tear up the floor in front of him and repel any action taken to his front. Meanwhile, a set of white wings made from the same flame energy instantaneously sprout from his back and through his clothing. The white wings stretch out before completely wrapping over Byakuran's body and taking the brunt of the liquid strike to his back. The liquid dissolves the wings and melts them off, but Byakuran displays no actual particular feelings toward it. Instead once the wings on his back are fully melted he smiles and immediately two black claws sprout from where his white wings used to be. <i>Hahaha you are all so boring when you talk about justice and empathy and so many other things~</i> Byakuran lowers his upper body and allows the black claws on his back to rapidly strike at you and your companions. The terrible claws open wide and break apart the sides of the room as they come in to grab at you from the center. <i>When you can easily get that stuff if you were more willing to do whatever it takes to get it done. Want justice then just plow over those in the world that do wrong. Want peace then go and hurt the dissenters. Want kindness then force it on others. It's your inability to do such things that let people like me exist ya know~ So thanks</i> The claws arrive and their tips point directly overhead before flowing down to eviscerate you.

<center><b>(Kazuya, H20, and Florina)</b></center> A hungry tornado of fire meets the defensive capabilities of directed water and the two elements rage against each other with each attempting to cancel out the other. The fire tries to consume from the sides of the water onslaught, but is quickly put out as fast as it can burn. While the water that blocks off the tendrils of fire rapidly turns into steam. Soon the room is so foggy that visibility has become low and it is difficult to see Byakuran from across the room. The two elements effectively cancel each other out leaving behind a fog so thick that it could either hinder or help you. While a slash made to Byakuran's torso actually connects and rips out a huge chunk of clothing along with skin. Blood instantly flows from the newly formed wound as Byakuran studies the mark upon his body with a morbid fascination. <i>I was actually cut.</i> Is all he says before a small white dragon squirms out from under the sleeve of white coat and elongates its neck to bite at the one that drew blood. Byakuran simply continues to poke at the wound on him as his personal pet enacts instant revenge.
