Standing in the street, Ryunoko Keodis seems... stiff. Many who know him, closely or not, would describe him to have an almost lackadasical posture towards life. Fluid in his movements, Keodis was described as "Graceful, in the way a drunk is. No inhibition behind any movement, like he moves only to experience movement. Not get anywhere in particular." That's not the case anymore. He strides forward with purpose, gloves creaking as the leather is compressed. 

[color=crimson]"We both know why I'm here, Jae-eun Yoshihide, Progenitor of the Dragon Breathing style and Dragon Hashira. I care not for what... turbulence is currently occurring in your ranks, it's obvious that miss Tomioka Guen has gone beyond her bounds, and acts beyond the Demon Slayer Corps. As of... 52 minutes and 13 seconds ago, gunmen hired by her opened fire on the main dance floor of the Western Dragon, which had in the realm of 400 human civilians. There were 118 casualties and 22 deaths currently. It will be on the national news tomorrow. This will not, and cannot stand." [/color]

Resting on his side, an enormous sheath. Nearly 5 feet of lacquered black wood, with swirling gold ornamentation. Resting inside, a weapon not of defense, not of skill, but of battle and war. A full-sized nodachi, nearly 6 feet long from point to pommel. If one were to look closely, they would see the slightest swirls of a deep red resting along the blade edge of the nodachi. A tell-tale sign that this blade is just as fatal to demons as it is to humans.

[color=crimson]"I am here to extract an end to this situation. Either by the death of one Tomioka Guen, or the removal of her arms. Personally, I'm gunning for the former, but the Oyabun has been... amused by her flailings for a while. He's called for me to show 'an appropriate level' of mercy."[/color]

Surprisingly, the heat associated with radiation is conspicuously absent. If anything, it's slightly cooler. It seems Keodis' Art is tied up even tighter than usual.

[color=crimson]"Therefore, there are two choices present. Step aside, and let me give the challenge officially. Or, act in her employ, and stop me. Work against the Kyoto Branch, betray those inside, and fight me. Right here and now."[/color]

His ultimatum given, Keodis continues to walk forward. Whether or not Jae-eun steps aside, tonight will see the clash of blades. The question is only which ones.
