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.

"I believe I may have an answer to that question."

Kandori hadn't said or done much during the entire exchange, Guybrush's hand incident included, but now he was standing close to the crystal, stroking his chin.

"A Trapezohedron...although the angles are irregular...guarded inside a temple that only opened after a dream..." The typical smile on his face, he turned towards the others. "Are any of you familiar with the writings of H.P. Lovecraft?"

"..."

As the definitively most nerdy amongst the group, Atsuro feels it his binding obligation to respond after he takes a brief glance around. Enough media featured things like Cthulhu, after all... Forget media; something named 'Nyalatotep' had been a fusion option the last time he glanced through the Cathedral of Shadows, and it wasn't a far cry to guess what it was meant to be.

"I... didn't actually think that was supposed to be a real shape. But you're talking about Nyarlathotep, aren't you?

"The Haunter of the Dark."

A sudden chill runs down his spine. "...Doesn't using the trape...whatever summon Nyarlathotep?"

[greatseal]

"Nyarlathotep?"

She knows the name. Not for nerdy reasons like Atsuro, although she does have a fair amount of occult and mythological knowledge from doing research on the Personas she summons. That name is familiar for a much more personal reason... the history lesson given by Theo.

"I heard that he's Philemon's enemy. They made a bet about humanity, with Philemon siding with us and Nyarlathotep against us."

Elizabeth had given Minato a similar history lesson, and he nods his agreement with Minako. "Nyarlathotep bet on humanity devolving into utter chaos and destroying itself, from what I heard."

[helenchanted]

"Nyarlathotep...are you saying that guy is Philemon's enemy? That doesn't sound very encouraging..." She gave the crystal a look like she half-expected the glowing tentacles to leap out again at the least opportune moment.
