(<b>A TV turned on near Star as the man's face come into full view. This time it seemed as though through some means he was watching Star specifically.</b>) &quot;Oh, a goddess! Where are my manners? I've met many of your kind and regularly associate with some though the kind I'm used to are usually more incomprehensible so I'm not used to ones who understand the mortal mindset. Not that I'm any better. I threw that out a while ago. It wasn't much fun.&quot; (<b>From a nearby electric store screams of pain could be heard as blood begins coating the windows.</b>) &quot;Oh, looks like one of my pets is evolving!&quot; (<b>Similarly, a TV would also turn on near Quintus as well to show the man.</b>) &quot;You're rather plain, aren't you? Who are you talking to anyway? You don't have time for chatter? Unless you don't care about what happens when my pets start evolving.&quot; (<b>Again a TV would turn on near Sayaka with the man still smiling sadistically.</b>) &quot;What kind of technology is that, that you're using, girl? I'd love to get my hand on something like that. Say, how about a bet for the ring?&quot; (<b>A nearby park close to both Sayaka and Quintus would begin becoming covered in mayhem as well as a otherworldly moaning would be followed by screams. Another TV screen turn on near Jiyu.</b>) &quot;That's the spirit! Make sure to make it entertaining. If I get bored I might add some extra challenge.&quot; (<b>Once again a TV flares to life near Senri.</b>) &quot;I'm glad you like my game. I find normality to be terribly mundane so I thought I'd spice things up here a bit. The abnormal is the spice of life! Maybe I should introduce you to my sister a another time. I feel like you'd get along with her.&quot; (<b>Another breakout of chaos at a gas station as people begin driving away at a fast rate. This time all that can be heard is the whir of a motor bu it's much louder than one might expect. This location would be near Senri and Jiyu.</b>)

(<b>The man would be kept alive by the waves of healing but this would stop the creature attached from struggling but it was helpless to resist as it was still binded by the roots. The additional slashes caused it to shrink considerably as it was close to the size of a bicycle rather than a car now. The harpoon would pierce through its soft flesh causing the creature's own green blood to leak out.</b>) &quot;Ice? Not as effective as that man from Libra at least but the site of ice isn't exactly entertaining to me.&quot; (<b>Stabbing into the hood of the car causes red blood to squirt out and rain down upon the two. Stabbing into the roof of the car causes a flow of green blood to leak out as the car begins to swerve slightly running over a few people in the process. Finally kicking the windshield would cause the glass to break as the black substances seem to open up a little. The driver of the car was a bloody skeleton that seemed to only be moving because of a leech like creature in its torso controlling its movements.</b>)

(<b>The water would begin boiling at first as a deep sizzling could be heard from the capsule. From the water a hulking humanoid creature would emerge with 3 arms. One giant one on one side and two smaller but still decently sized ones on the other. The monster's skin was a pale violet and its eyes gleamed with yellow. Its mouth was simply a set of fangs. It breathed heavily. There was no sense of self awareness in its eyes as it would simply stare at Eito as if waiting to be told what to do.</b>) &quot;Seems you have a natural talent for alchemy. It's yours to command now.&quot;

(<b>Within the elctronic store everyone is already be dead. Their bodies were reduced to piles of blood that flood the interior creating a large puddle that drips out as the door is pulled open. Within the blood something would be moving around. Dashing behind different shelves. Within the store a TV turns on revealing the man's face once more.</b>) &quot;Hello! I see this pet has evolved quite nicely! Better keep an eye out! I think their bite is worse then their bark!&quot; (<b>In a splash of blood the creature would move towards Star's feet at a remarkable speed trying to bit at her ankles before quickly moving away again. Once in the park both Quintus, Sayaka and Izumi see the same scene. People would be running away from a massive black blob with a multitude of mouths hanging off it's sides. Below the massive blob was a torso of a man struggling to stand. The entire creature would moan as if in pain. A TV hanging off a tree would begin blaring to life.</b>) &quot;It seems that this pet of mine has taken to forming a sort of bond with that man. Hahaha! How lucky for him! He gets to live it seems. Well I guess that's up to you though. As for my conditions of the bet, I simply want that ring or yours or perhaps to at very least know how it is you came into possession of such a thing. Perhaps I could make a deal with whoever gave that to you as well. The terms of the bet have already presented themselves to us. The life of the man my pet has absorbed. Will he live? Or will he die? I think it should be pretty obvious what I believe the end result will be.&quot; (<b>Jiyu and Senri would see that the gas station has been reduced to rubble. A car with a dark interior would be driving in circles over the debri. It's headlights blared with a red light as a TV would power on, on a nearby building.</b>) &quot;How unique! This pet decided it wanted to go for a drive! I bet even the tires were modified to absorb the blood of those it runs over!&quot; (<b>The car immediately turns to face the two and begins driving forward with the clear intent of making them roadkill.</b>)<div class='edited'>(edited by Femt)</div>

(<b>The man on the TV would laugh madly at Sayaka's request.</b>) &quot;Who ever said the bet was over? We made a bet on whether he would live or die, correct? Sorry, my pet, put it seems I have no use for you anymore.&quot; (<b>With the flip of a switch a second leech bursts out of the man's stomach before screeching loudly and bursting into flames. The lech would burst into a fiery ball along with the man who would scream in pain before being engulfed in fire.</b>) &quot;Now, what was that you were saying about him living?&quot; (<b>All the leeches in the car were now dead with the final one in the steering wheel being killed. Two leeches were implanted in the car and two were planted within the man. A TV built into the car would begin to flicker on.</b>) &quot;Bravo! You won! Your prize! Nothing. I won't lie when I say I'm upset to lose but I've won a much grander prize today in my own mind.&quot;

&quot;Sorry for the interruption but its time for a very special event! I hope you all have good eyes because this is going to require your absolute perception!&quot; (<b>The man would seem to hold up a pair of tweezers to the camera. Into the view a small leech like creature is squirming as it seems to try and find a surface to bite onto.</b>) &quot;Isn't this little guy cute? Well there's a special surprise waiting inside once they collect enough blood and lucky for all of you I've gone and hid 5 of these little guys in the city! I shouldn't need to explain what happens if they aren't found. They really do enjoy indulging themselves.&quot; (<b>Finally the man would take the small creature and dip it into a beaker full of blood. The creature begins to swim around in the blood as it began swelling in size and growing additional appendages. Before it could grow too large the man crushed the beaker with the creature inside under his foot. A green fluid leaks out from the now frog sized leech with four sharpened claws. Once more the man look toward the screen with a smile.</b>) &quot;Good luck! Game start!&quot;

(<b>A man would be walking in the park with a smile on his face. His eyes are covered by a metal mask but just looking as the expression on his face would tell anyone that he's full of merriment. He would turn to face the group as he walked by.</b>) &quot;Oh, hello there. Were you enjoying the atmosphere as well? It certainly is a lovely day isn't it?&quot;

(<b>The man would clearly be smiling with a sadistic grin as he watches Despair. He would begin clapping as he laughs madly.</b>) &quot;Bravo! Not bad for a simple boy but I applaud your commitment towards chaos. Hahaha! It's really entertaining!&quot; <div class='edited'>(edited by Femt)</div>

<b>The man smiles still as if expecting this result.</b> &quot;Yes, yes. That's fine. You can keep the ring just tell me who gave it to you and how to find them. Don't worry about what use it is to me either. I always figure out how to get my way when I want something. These games are just a good way to pass the time.&quot;

(<b>The explosion in the store ringed throughout the city. In the remains of the building the leech like creature struggles as it tries to soak up any blood remaining on the floor. A TV outside the store flicker on as the man would look a little disappointing.</b>) &quot;That was rather boring... *Yawn* I guess you won that game or something...&quot; (<b>The TV would turn off on its own. In the park, Sayaka's attempt at sliding under the creature would almost be interrupted by it trying to slam it's head down on top of her but luckily for her Quintus' roots would keep it locked in place as he began trying to siphon the creature's blood. With the loss of blood the blob would begin to shrink a little. It struggles against the roots but to no avail as it can't break through them.</b>) &quot;I accept the bet then. I do love to make appearances for my fans. But only when the moods right and I feel that perhaps the generous act of saving that man's life would put me in that mood.&quot; (<b>Finally Senri and Jiyu would be riding the hood of the infected vehicle. Through the windshield they could barely see anything as it has been darkened by a mysterious black substance. The car in response to it's two new friends would begin revving its engine once more as it began charging through the nearby streets. It continued increasing in speed to try and shake the two off.</b>)
