The Game is Changed

☢

What: Mictlan
Where: Mictlan
Summary: 2/2/10AC
Warnings: Tentacles and Kandori (not necessarily in that order but thankfully not together)
Note: Only bring one of your characters to the log and if they are fit to go that night. This isn't part of the main event for this month.

It was obviously a dangerous mission, and hidden away by the cover of the reddish tint of the 13th hour. With most of the city still focused on what had happened during the tournament and the Anoli, there was little question to the disappearing Seven and Wisemen...or if they had noticed at all.

But eventually that would readily turn into questions, and the panic and confusion that could ensue might be dangerous. Thus it was time for a little trip into the temple that once yielded no answers and see what exactly had happened...and hopefully able to stage a rescue attempt. But what did the Mictlan have for them in store, and would they be able to get in at all? It was hard to judge.

As the Visitors arrived, they were ushered into the front doors of the temple in the center of the ghost town. Most of the demons were being kept at bay, in a bid to better keep their strengths and powers.

For who knew what they might need in there...the video had cut off so many times, after all.

Kazuya was fiddling with his COMP (his world's COMP), tapping the buttons on the DS looking console. Behind him floated Black Maria, a loyal demon subject of his that was surveying their surroundings - Kazuya felt that summoning all four of his guard would be overkill at this point, but having one out was just being cautious!

"Ah," Kazuya lowered his COMP, tilting his head back with a sudden groan. "Man, I hate being caught between 'Am I overreacting' or 'Nah, man, this is totally enough'. Maybe I should call Okuninushi too."

"Aroo?" Oh hey, it's one of his new friends who had no idea which of his demons would be able to speak Death! He wanders over in the group, until he's walking close enough that his body language could be picked up. Even though he has no idea what you're talking about.

"Huh...? Oh, hey boy!"

Kazuya snapped his COMP shut and stowed it into the depths of his sweet ass cape (thank you Atsuro for tailoring one with inner pockets). He crouched down, feeling Black Maria float a bit closer to them, and extended his hand to the dog.

"What're you doing here? Joining in the rescue mission?"

Koromaru sniffs Kazuya's hand in greeting, before letting him pet him if he wished to. Yep! He's here with a lot of his team back home, actually. They al kind of have a thing with rescues and missions. Except this one just didn't involve Tartarus.

And hey, he's got fire skills on his side to help, so why not?

Kazuya did pet the dog - he never passed up petting the dog okay - and scratched him behind his ears too.

"Hm, I hope your Persona can resist creepy space octopuses..."

Oh hey, added bonus! Koromaru loves ear scratches. Still, he nods once. If not resist, he can at least make it harder for the octopi to grab them in the first place between fire and agility ups.

"Actually, is it Octopii? I have no idea, well."

Kazuya straightened up with one last pat on Koromaru's head, and settled his hands on his hips. "I don't think we ever tried to see if I could talk to your Persona, could I?"

It very much is octopi. Not that he knows what you humans call it, but it makes more sense. Still, Koromaru tilted his head. Also, no, no they hadn't tried. Want him to summon Cerberus?

"...yeah, so..." Kazuya gestured vaguely, as if to represent the way of summoning Persona (poorly). "Poof? Persona?"

"Awoo!" Koromaru hoped Kazuya didn't mind the sound of a slight gunshot, or the fact it looked like glass breaking when the blue light of a summoning occurred. Cerberus appeared from it, all three heads looking down to the demon king.

'Do you understand us?'

Kazuya squinted when the Persona appeared, able to hear the words but... it was sort of like he was listening to it speak from underwater. He could hear them, but man was it hard to pick out the words. It was like there was bad reception between them.

"Kind, of... yeah. Can you speak any clearer, though? Sounds like you're gargling mouthwash."

Minato has never met Kazuya, but as long as they're standing around, he's been watching Black Maria with some curiosity, and, as he's standing nearby, he overhears what Kazuya is saying. He feels it is his solemn duty, therefore, to interject, "Better over-prepared than under."

Well all right, maybe it's not his solemn duty, but he definitely likes the idea of being over-prepared. Having too much fire power makes things much easier than having not enough. Usually.

"Gu- oh, jeeze, don't do that..."

Kazuya had jumped a little, not expecting someone to answer his question, and he wrinkled his nose at the stranger in response. He tapped his finger against his COMP, and after a moment, summoned Okuninushi, one of his most loyal servants.

Black Maria and Okuninushi. Aw yeah.

"Yeah, you're right. Can't really pull our punches against eldritch abominations, huh?"

"Ah, sorry." Minato has the grace to look a little sheepish at having startled the guy, but the sheepishness disappears in the face of curiosity at seeing how Okuninushi is summoned. That is a pretty cool way to summon a demon, after all.

"Absolutely. No one wants to be eaten by a tentacle monster." Or worse.

"Or otherwise manhandled by a tentacle monster," Kazuya said, his tone suddenly becoming a bit sly. "I mean, heh, 'I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going'! Ahaha, no not really, but, you know..."

It can happen. And most of them are, well, high school students - from him guessing anyway. Totally a tentacle monster's type.

"Exactly." Minato nods solemnly, meeting the sly with his own deadpan. "And tentacles never use protection, anyway."
