"That must have happened when I was gone. It looks painful." There's a hidden question there: should you be doing this right now? However, Ivan doesn't voice it. He bends over and reaches for the basketball by his feet instead.

"Here." Ivan bounces the ball back toward Ryouta.

"It's okay. I'm not going full out," Ryouta answers Ivan's unasked question. Well, he had been for that dunk, but otherwise he had been holding back a little. Still feeling like he was sucking majorly, but that couldn't be helped.

He stands, catches the ball, turns on his good foot, lines up, and shoots. The ball arcs and sinks through the net. He beams. That had felt better.

"Where did you go? It was like you... uh, what's the word? Just had an out of character moment and then you were gone." And all the weird stuff happened.

Ivan watches the ball sail effortless through the air and net. He cracks a small smile; that was a nice shot. He didn't think a shot could be made at that angle.

However, the smile doesn't last and quickly melts into frown. "Juno wanted to ask me some questions about what happened, but I didn't have any real answers."

"That night was crazy. Who would have answers for that." He shakes his head. "I... don't really know what happened that night. It was mostly a blur to me."

[sponsorigami]

"The tabloids would have a field day if they found out about it." Maybe it's a good thing that they were in some secret underground basement. The crazy was bad enough, but if they had to deal with the fallout from the public (because imagines would have been ruined), Ivan would consider hiding in a hole and never coming back out.

"Did you know that place was even down there?"

[yellowcopycat]

Ryouta shook his head. "No, not all. I usually stick to the gym."

But, jeez, Ivan was right about the potential fall out... "Do you think someone would tell them about it? I mean... It's not like anyone would believe it."

[sponsorigami]

Ivan put a hand to his chin. Juno left, and there weren't any other Virgo non-performing employees around that he could remember. That leaves the musicians to make any possible leak to the public.

"I don't think so. Did any of us come out of that looking good and possibly gaining from the screw ups of the rest?"

[yellowcopycat]

"I don't think so..." Ryouta said slowly. "But... Whatever happened. Do you think.... Do you think that was legal?" He wasn't about to go the police about it. He had too much riding on Virgo. And really, all those strange light things? No one would believe them. There would be no proof anyways.

No, the best thing to do would to stay quiet.

"... It wasn't normal, but I don't know what law could have been broken." Getting possessed by a ghost or spirit or something isn't exactly something Ivan thinks will hold up in a court of law besides an insanity plea.

And Ivan is starting to question his head, but he'll stick with blaming ghosts for it all. He doesn't want to draw more attention to his questionable mental state and bring his band down.
