The sounds of people enjoying their time echoed though out the district. All enjoyed and watched as the cherry blossoms danced in the sky. But there was something a mist in the district. A odd feeling that filled the air. While the people felt it and choose to ignore it, the beasts choose stay away. From all the smallest of bugs to the largest of animals in the area, there was not one sign of them in this little lovely district. Among the crowds of people, there was a small sound. A sound of foot steps, slowly walking in the district.
But the sounds of foot steps didn't come from the streets, but from the roof tops of the buildings around. There, was a man, a simple dressed man is all black, and with a mask on his face. On top of these edged roof tops, he slowly walked around. As he walked about, the planet life that was placed on these roofs slowly started to die out around him. Losing color, limping, and soon without life.
All of the cherry blossoms that came near him turned from their lovely bright pink to the black before turning into dust in the wind. At the heightest point of the district, he stood there on the roof's edge. A grin on his face that was behind his mask, he just stood there and watched the happy people run around. But the people that was closest to him felt unease.
They all felt it, the people that was around him and in the building that he was on top of. The people felt something, something that shouldn't be there but is there. The man's own mana flowing out from his body. Slowly killing the planet life around him. A new world for him to play in, a world in which he could bring the nothing to this little world for him to play. All that was felt for this clown is what to do first...

(I didn't see a mark so I'm guessing this is 'Open'?)
He exited the bar; an unopened and expensive Liquor Bottle in hand while a cigarette burned in his mouth. Ryuusei was on his way out of town, Cherry Trees just weren't his thing, he'd seen plenty of them in the park overlooking the bay in Noishtat. That was 'the hang out', always full of couples; some loser hoping to use the atmosphere to score with some girl he had NO business with. Watching that, even from a distance made the Seishin want to puke up his guts, he shuddered at the memory. "I'll stick to the Arena..."
It was difficult to avoid looking at the blossoms, they were everywhere! Every shade of 'pink' imaginable... wait, what was this? Black?" He stopped and looked, sure enough the blossoms were 'darkening'...and the trees themselves began to wither. The Seishin rose an eyebrow. "This a seasonal thing? 'cuz I'm PRETTY d**n sure, this ain't in the brochure... The Chamber o' Commerce better get their crap together before tourism goes straight to Hell and they stop carryin' the good stuff." Glancing down at the bottle in hand.
He shrugged. (Why the hell am I standing here talkin' to myself? This ain't my problem.) And walked on, then without warning; the hot cherry in his mouth went 'cold' (Well that's not good... was my last one!) He knew cold, having lived in a city with an almost endless downpour. This chill was unnatural and it caused his 'Street Senses' to perk up. He looked about and caught sight of something odd... Not only were the trees dying, but the plants on the roofs as well. Coupled with the unnatural chill, only one thing came to mind. "...Still don't give a d**n." He said ALOUD and walked on, minding his own business...but kept an 'eye' out for anything...else weird.

As the man with the clown mask watched the people walking about doing their own thing. But as he watched the little bugs moving around, there was one that was sticking out the most out of all of them. Looking down, he spotted a young man who spoke out. After watching over all kinds of people, something like this would stick out a bit. Grinning behind his mask, the clown man skipped his way down the building. While the people below should be shocked by this, his flow of mana stopped them from looking.
He soon had his feet on the ground. Slowly he skipped over to the little bug that spoke out loud. Skipping a long, he went passed the boy that spoke out and stopped. Standing there, he slowly turned his whole body to him. His head tilted to the side as he slowly took one step forward. "Tell me.... Can you see me?"

The Seishin walked along, on the surface he appeared to be minding his own business... a trick he picked up as a kid to watch out for marks without drawing attention to himself. Then suddenly this...clown appeared and...skipped about. Then stopped, turned with his head tilted if he could be seen.
"It's 'Ronald McDonald' in the flesh!" Was Ryuusei's answer with mock enthusiasm. With a half-smirk he continued. "Seein' as I'm a hood. Guess this makes me 'The Hamburgler'." What was this clown's game? He asked such a stupid-sounding question... but often times, there was some 'meaning' behind such things, so he chose to go with a stupid answer to see the response he'd get.

Ronald McDonald? The clown just slighty grinned at the name. These humans and the silly little names they give out. This little bug did have a smart mouth on this one. But then again, he saw this thing all the time. But it was fun to play with them a bit. But really, how many time could he hear the same kind of joke over and over. But this all Ronald McDonald thing was a bit new. This is why the people of the land is his favorite kind. The angels are to uptight and the demons are to loud. But the races that lived on the land were so much more fun.
"You know my little bug of a friend. I lived ssssssssssssssoooooooooooooooooo long that things tend to get boring. But then I find and spot people like you. A nice mouth to speak your mind right? But then again you like being by yourself and hate others around right? Oh why should the others around me matter to me? Isn't that right? Oh what fun." As he stood there in place, the planet life around started to slowly die. Even a few of the cherry blossom trees close by started to lose their color. The bug life started to die out as well. "So tell me... What do you think of this....... Lovely world here?"

Bug huh? Sure he'd run with that... for now. "My pleasure, Ronald....it's always fun to make someone else life better." His tone just dripping with sarcasm. The clown then assumed he liked to be alone. "Oh no! You're a clown you make me laugh (for free) you can hang around. And hey I got this bottle of hooch right here." He held up the Liquor Bottle. "We can party, even raise a lil Hell!"
As he was playing the 'stupid street kid', the Seishin kept his 'Street Senses' on alert. He kept his main focus on the clown, but through the corners of his eyes, noticed the previously healthy plant life begin to decay... ever since the clown showed up. (This what happened back there?) He was then asked if he 'liked' the place...well he didn't particularly like 'this' place but... "You serious? This place sucks!" It sucks the big one." Then suddenly he went over and picked up a chair then then hurled it through the window of a cafe, then kicked over the table. "Come on lets wreck this Mother!"

"hehehehe....HAHAHA!" He couldn't help it, the clown man just started to burst out laughing his guts out. Holding his sides as he stomped his feet all over the place. He really did like the people of the land. Oh how the handful tends to go crazy. While others around were in shock, he just loved it. Stopping a bit, he just looked at the little boy, and slowly walked around a circle. "You know.... I really love you people on the land. Always a fun group. I've seen all kinds of races during my time but you people that live on the land are the most fun."
Stopping, he stood behind the boy, back to back. While most people would say that everything is a flip of a coin, but the clown knew better. The world and another world didn't just flip a coin. "But you know. If you really didn't care about this little world. Then why not end it? End it all right?" He had the cheerful tone of voice as he spoke out. It was loud enough for anyone to hear around.

"Fire! Fire!" He began to...chant as he took out his lighter and lit the cafe's sign. (I can only take this so far Ronald, what're you gonna do?) The clown then circled him and started going on about 'you people on the land'; he put the lighter away. "Just curious Ronald, what DO you mean by 'you people'? You sound like you know me pretty well, what's up, you've been sneakin' into my room at night and takin' pictures? And I KNOW we haven't met before, cuz I'd remember a mug like yours."
The clown then stood 'back to back' with the Seishin. "But... we hardly know each other..." He said with a smirk. "Besides, I don't swing that way...now if there was a cutie under that mask..." He trailed off. "Guess I'd have to call you 'Harley' from now on." The clown then asked 'why he didn't end the world' in the same way the Seishin previously said he didn't give a d*mn. "And why would I wanna do that? I only said this burg sucked. Besides, I'm not in the Apocalypse Business... just a toruist."

With a grin behind he mask, the clown man took a few steps forward. It was true that he has never met this little boy before but why would he need to? He lived for so long that everyone that he sees starts to look the same. Turning around, he was now looking at the boy's back. "Have we met? No. Not really. But then again I lived for ssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooo long that all you little bugs start to look alike. It's really funny that you all think that your one of a kind. That your all special in some kind of way. But I have seen it all. No one is special nor are they one of a kind."
As he spoke out, his vold mana started to spill out more and more like a water fall. Not only did all the planets around died within seconds, windows and glasses started to crack all around, and the people around acted like they were running out of air in their body. One by one, they people with weak will started to fall on their knees. "And I ask you why didn't you just end it all because I wanted to see what kind of people are around in this world. But judging by the way you spoke, I can guess your not of this world neither. Oh what fun. Tell me, the people around, what if they start dying one by one... What will you do?"

"Oh so you're not just mad that Goth Music sucks." After listening to the clown ramble on about how 'nobody is special'. Clown likely realized this about himself too and went mad. "So'd you realize this about yourself too or what?"
The surrounding plant life was beginning to die at a rapid pace. Not only that, but cracks in the windows formed as if some kind of 'pressure' was being exerted on them. People too were feeling it; they were dropping like flies to their knees; it was safe to say things were definitely going to far. The clown began to jabber on like a mental patient again. Preaching the same BS about 'ending it' and then about killing people? Even on the Seishin's WORST day, he wouldn't waste someone unless they truly deserved it... (Looks like I found a candidate.) "That's simple Ronald, you'll get to tell people 'how I got these scars'." Using his Setsuna he became a green blur and shot behind the clown, all along he gathered wind Chi into his right hand. When he reappeared, the Seishin fired off a Souhajin in it's 'blade' form.
