-Gudrunn blinks-
Gudrunn: Umbra is... an Obscuric?
Kass: <Here we go, then!>
-pulls out a piano and plays the following:-
Des steadies Jovi as he listens to Ren.
"Right."
He jumps off and tells her to go back with the others.
"Ready, although I feel so unprepared that I'm practically naked."
GIVE ME YOUR FACE-Ren grimaces.-
Ren: I'm not exactly wearing what I'd prefer to be wearing either, but time is definitely against us with this thing... So we'll just have to be that much more careful.
-Ren motion for the Door.-
Ren: After you, Des.
Maggie: "Uh, yeah. Why do you ask?"
-Yuuya closes his eyes and flits in time with the music-

Grumbly he walks through the door.

-Pent breathes deeply and slowly gets up from his chair, leaving on the table his backpack and the two pokeballs that contain his current Alolan team. He sighs, takes the key and mask token from his pocket and sighs before knocking on the doorway to the room where Susan is currently engrossed in technical details for the next concert-
Hey... I'm going to be out for a little... Mind taking care of my mons for a bit?
Susan: Oh, yeah sure. -She's clearly a bit distracted-
Thanks... Also if I... If you hear the worst and I'm not back... There's an envelope under my bag.
Susan: -She isn't really looking up from the stage diagrams- Yeah, seeya soon.
-And with that Pent heads off to meet with the Contractors-
Velvet Room
-Pent enters, looking fairly... Almost eerily calm about all this-
He's not even attempting to hide is he?
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Heahea City
Gudrunn: Um, no reason, j-just curious!
-she is clearly lying-
Kass: -stops- <You like it?>

Contact Me!Maggie: "Well, if you say so."
Yuuya: <Indeed. While melancholy in some ways, the song does have a sort of uplifting feeling for me.>
-As others come in, so does SleepyHead, having departed a bit before-
-Lisa comes in as well, her painted form reverting back to her original one as she steps through the door-
Lisa: <Hm, well that's probably for the best.>

-Gudrunn gulps, then tries to change the subject-
Gudrunn: So, um, how do you communicate with the rest of the J-Team? One of those magic do-anything slates?
Kass: <Mmm, it elicts that feeling in many!>
Contact Me!The Velvet Room
-Ren shuts the door behind him and Des. Fortunately the Velvet Room is back to the "lounge club format".-Ren: -his tone souring at certain memories- Why would he? He's daring us to face him. The last time that happened to me fire bombs were detonated beneath my feet, so you'll have to forgive to not wanting to just run at this guy when he obviously has something planned to screw us over.
- Mendel walks in from another door.-
Mendel: I'm here. What did I miss and what this about Ms. Davis being involved?

-Maggie debates referring to her Pokegear at some future venture as such before responding-
Maggie: "Uh, yeah, I do. You are a bit new, but do you have one like it? It'd help with communication."
Yuuya: <This does not surprise me.>
Elizabeth: <Caroline has been captured by a psychic force and manipulated by it, as is wont to happen.>

Of course it's a trap. The problem is we don't have any options.
-Pent starts pacing a little bit-
Correction, we have options but said options are entirely unviable; We either trigger the trap with our full might and maybe survive, we send someone in as bait condemned to die and hope that springing the trap that way makes the foe defeatable or we don't go in at all and let him run rampant.
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.Maggie: "Hm... well, tell me if you get one so I can add you in mine."
Yuuya: <Yes, please!>

Contact Me!Maggie: "Uh... would you mind elaborating?"
Yuuya: <Hrm, that's a shame. Sounds like it could have been interesting.>

Gudrunn: The box with two slots that bakes bread slices!
Kass: <Indeed it is! It was written by the great warrior poet Celsvet about two beligerent lovers!>
Contact Me!Maggie: "Oh, *that*."
"When you push down on it, it sets up some sort of tension before releasing it after a certain amount of time's passed. In the meantime, it cooks the bread or whatever else you put in there."
Yuuya: <Ah, Celzvet... I've heard of him...>
-Hajime comes in here, searching for where to get a Tauros registered to be a Ride Pokemon-
"life is just a series of increasingly canon-eluding ao3 tags" ~ everydunsparce "Keep your hellfruit away from me, tempter" ~ also EveryShaun rolled over in bed groggily. He sat up and noticed his entire team gathered around the television.
Ace: <Oh good, you're awake.>
Shaun: "What's going on?"
Ace nodded towards the T.V. and scooted over. <See for yourself.>
Shaun looked at the screen and saw a picture of Akala covered in a red fog.
Shaun: "The hell?"
News Anchor: "...the strange red fog seems to be some sort of supernatural event. Eyewitnesses say that a strange vortex and demon-like creatute were seen. Some people managed to capture this on video..."
-The screen changes to show shaky footage of the red sky and a strange portal. Suddenly, what appears to be the head of Vigoroth with Primal Groudon-like teeth and armor with a blade-like horn on its muzzle bursts out of the vortex.-
The Daemon?Vigoroth laughs, but it sounds inhuman, echoing everywhere.
Shaun then notices two human figures floating towards the Vigoroth, which then...
Shaun: "DID IT JUST EAT THEM?"
The Vigoroth pulls itself up, revealing its upper body.
Daemon?Vigoroth: COME CONTRACTORS! FACE ME! YOU KNOW WHERE I AM! DON'T KEEP ME WAITING! AH-HAHAHAHAHAHA...
The portal and Vigoroth fade away, and the sky clears.
News Anchor: "Scientists are investigating the incident. They have theorized that this may be related to the Ultra Wormholes, but results are inconclusive. In other news..."
Shaun sat back on the bed, dumbfounded. " What in the name of Arceus and the Three..."
His Mons all turn to look at him.
Ace: <We should stay on guard. I don't know what that was or why it happened, but it worries me.>
-The rest of the Mons murmur in agreement.-
Shaun: "I agree, but we should be fine. Before I met you all, 2009 think, I was fine. DS and Cynthia stopped whatever was happening...:
Shaun: "Let's go see Hala."
Thoughts?
EDIT: Fixed in response to Tagg.

Gudrunn: Oooh. And is it true the magic do-everything slates can summon a person with food to your door?
Kass: <You have? How?>

Contact Me!Maggie: "Uh, you can if you know the right person."
Yuuya: <I have a bit of... family history involving that War in Ransei. With the Hane family in particular.>
SleepyHead: <I'm... more fond of the former, personally. Assuming no one volunteers, it'd be kind of rude.>

Heahea City, last night
-To Tangent-
Like I said, a long story.
Eating a Vanilluxe will give you frostbite.
-Ren nods to Des as Jovi skids to a halt.-
Ren: I don't know all the details, but Psyche was involved with an incident yesterday that involved a giant creature appearing in the sky and calling us - The Contractors - out to face him. I believe many are heading to the Velvet Room as we speak...
-Ren holds the blue door open.-
Ren: Although you should leave your team behind. From what I have heard we are facing The Embodiment of Fire, Bloodshed, and the Destruction of Bonds. So the danger level is extremely high even for us Persona and Pokesona users. Normal humans and Pokemon are likely to die before they'll move.
