     Wait, is that thing eating the...

     Soujirou makes a face, watching as the thing changes and grows. As if it wasn't already disgusting enough. He wouldn't have been able to get to Atoli in time even as he saw the creature take aim for her, so he's glad that she's not having trouble with the elemental damage, at least.

     "Guess we'll have to step up our game plan too..." he murmurs, watching as Atoli casts something else. Instead of waiting, the samurai turns his attention back to their opponents again. "Yoshitsune..!" Above him, a figure coalesces in a flash of red light, vaguely humanoid with spindly legs and a pair of long, curved blades for arms. It lifts its foxlike masked head as though regarding its opponent before it surges forward, twin blades gleaming as it darts to the side and then back again, trying to take the Aerialist-mutated Klown by surprise.

The effects of the Goldeneye spell wash over the Klowns - not all of them are affected, but the ones who are are suddenly wearing sober gray business suits and carrying leather briefcases. As one, they open their cases and remove paper calculators, tapping away on the buttons.

Apparently they are hallucinating being accountants now.

The remaining Klowns hurl themselves physically at Atoli, while the Aerialist Klown fires off another blast of wind at Soujirou's Persona.

That, however, she can't handle with Innis. She's not sure she'll ever be able to completely mitigate physical attacks, but she doesn't really need to. Either way, she takes up a defensive stance and attempts to switch her active Persona to Lukahn.

     That won't do- Soujirou's already figured Atoli to be some magic-using or healer class, and if she's coming under direct attack, then he's not properly doing his job! Trusting his Persona to hold up against the Aerialist Klown's attack, the samurai turns his attention to the others that have targeted Atoli.

     "Hey!"

     Darting in, he brandishes his blade, swinging it in a broad arc to cast Samurai's Challenge. If it works, he should be able to draw all the aggro so that Atoli can be freed up to do other things. Plus, if he successfully draws the 'hate' of the other Klowns, his follow-up skill will help him counterattack, although not without first taking damage from them.
