[ IT'S A ZOMBIE! Nah, it's just Rio. He is shambling through the streets, following the slight strains of his shattered Harmony. Intercept / Poke / IT'S A ZOMBIE? ]

[Rio is in his usual place in Sinfonia Park, practicing, because practice makes everything better (even illness). Punch, kick, block, pun...ch.... His last blow wavers, and he pulls his fist back to him...] It's...quiet. [He looks up at the sky once, before collapsing. When the light of sunrise reaches him, he doesn't wake.] ((ooc: Rio has died ! I can hear the cheers already. ))

[Is sitting on a bench in Sinfonia Park. The Tone is in his hand, but he is currently staring up at the sky as if it'd just turned the nice shade of violently bright pink. Except not, since he wouldn't be able to look at it if that were the case. Or maybe he's looking at it because it's nearly sunset.]

((ooc: or like this: _|_|_ _|x|_   |  | or something. |D ))

I'm going to tell a story. There was a Hawk Fist practitioner named Kata. He tried to kill his student but failed, and agreed to train him. Kata is defeated by a bunch of kids wielding the fist of justice. What's the moral?

[The video shows a rooftop, where two of the birds are tied to it via string around their legs.] Anyone want a pet?

[WHO] Rio, Jade Curtiss [WHERE] Somewhere near Cadenza Madrigal [ABOUT] Hanging out on rooftops. [WARNINGS] None --- The problem with the idea of confronting Madrigal directly—even if he hadn't... He fell onto the rooftop rolling, as if he'd been tossed up there instead of having jumped. Disgruntled, he got up and moved to the edge to look out over Cadenza Madrigal as if nothing had happened

[In some alley somewhere, but he's not all that concerned about whether anyone might come by.] Rinki...Kaiho. [His ki flows out and down and coalesces into a visible pool of very dark storm clouds shot with purple by his feet. Rio just. Stares at it.]

[Normally, Rio practices his martial arts at night, due to his suspicions about the Houses. This Rio, however, has no qualms about practicing in the daytime. So today finds Rio at Sinfonia Park, sparring meticulously with the air. He looks worried, for anyone looking closely.]

Disappearances. Tell me about them.
