001 💀 video

_{[A camera comes to life, framing a dark canopy of tree tops high above through which peep slivers of royal blue. It's the color of the late afternoon sky, the same view anyone would be able to see through their window, but this one is almost entirely blotted out by branches.]}

This thing recordin'--?

<sub>[The video tilts down, revealing the speaker. If you've happened to misplace a loudmouth punk today, here's one in all his young, disheveled glory. Ryuji rests in the thick shade of some trees, looking weary (and maybe, maybe a little uneasy if you squint).

There's nowhere else for him to sit or stand besides the thick shade, really. Trees are clustered in suffocating closeness all around. Someone's in the deep woods.]</sub>

Uh, yeah, so. Who here's good with Boy Scout stuff? Anyone? I went to check out what's been goin' on outside and I think... I went too far into the forest. _{[Ugh, a painful admission. He sighs, chin almost on his chest.]} Everything just looks the same. Pretty sure I'm just goin' around in circles.

_{[Point blank: he's lost.]}

It's gonna be dark soon, so... Anyone know anything about orienteering?

<sub>[He's a man and he's asking for directions. Please help.]

(OOC: Action replies are welcome! Long story short, Ryuji's fallen prey to the confusing nature of the forest and will be lost until someone finds him or leads him out. Curiosity killed the city boy. :'D Please also beware that comments within may contain Persona 5 spoilers!)</sub>

<sub>[Ryuji is well aware that an Akechi still acting like a saccharine sweet friend to all phantom thieves big and small is probably wishing he'd eat shit and die right at this moment, and he'd love to lob that grenade right back at the two-faced bastard and blast down the screen between them, figurative and otherwise...

But there's one glaring problem: he's still lost.

Having been lost long enough to start worrying over his chances of getting back before sundown, Ryuji's normal burning urge to fight has been played out to a low simmer. He needs to get the fuck out of here, that's priority number one. Akechi's a liar and he's dangerous, those are facts. But Akechi's also smart as hell, that's another fact. If anyone would have a clue how to find a way out of this damn haunted forest, it's the guy who paved the way through Sae's Palace by cheating the system.

Better angels prevail. He'll tell Akechi off later, once he's sure he's not going to be spending the night up a tree.]</sub>

All right. _{[Begrudgingly:]} But only because I didn't get any of that about hemispheres.
