-Susan nods and steps over to the drum kit which Latias has just finished getting set up again properly-
Latias: Drums first? Alright just be careful, repairing my baby gets expensive.
Heahea City, Present
Susan: Come on! Space travel in our lifetimes, it'd be awesome!
It'd also mean dragging an overpowered omnicidal maniac into the world.
Susan: But we'd also be dragging the heroes in too!
No. It never works like that. The hero is never pulled into our world. It is always up to the J-Team to fill that role.
Susan: Okay, fine. But like, keep the idea in mind? Maybe look for something without a threat like that..?
-Pent sighs and gives a non-committal shrug-
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Doomsday: <He took off when everyone was on their way here. No idea why. Well, my theory is that he's hitting puberty.>
Cid: <Cu Sith is chasing his scent, but he's wily. Cu Sith's a Growlithe, by the way.>
Angelica: <I will be!>
-She goes over to the drums and picks up the sticks-
<Now, don't I just...>
-She hits one of the drums a bit harder than she was intending to, though not hard enough to damage it-
Petilil: <Hm, sounds like he'd be good for that, then?>
<Though, why puberty? I admit I'm not familiar with Rockruff.>

Psyche shrugs. I've dealt with enough Psychic world ending threats that I was up and moving like, 2 weeks ago. Wasn't fun, though, still been meditating to recuperate every day.

-Ren reads the flying text Gamma is putting up for him.-Ren: That's good to hear. Umm... I heard you are a Persona user now too... Who or what and which Arcana? And are you a Contractor now too?
Realm of Hi-no-Kagustuchi, Past
-Ren wills Reynaert to cast a Wil-o-Wisp at Psyche's form as the smoke from the previous collision of attacks disperses, revealing a psychotic smirk on Psyche's possessed face.-Ren: That can't be good...
Hi-no-Kagustuchi!Psyche: Change! Murasaki Kagami!
-Moloch vanishes in flash and is replaced by an Espeon-themed mirror with the reflection of a human lady with long, silver hair and Umbreon eyes in the glass.-
-The status attacks strike the mirror, only to be reflected back at the Personas and Pokesonas who fired them.-
Hi-no-Kagustuchi!Psyche: Change! Asmodeus!
-A Demonic looking Haxorus with blood-red scales appears taking the offensive attacks and it's rough hide damaging all who come into physical contact with it.-
-While Reyneart can't be burned thanks to being a Fire-type. Ren is dumbfounded and horror-stricken at the implications of what he is seeing.-
Mendel: -paling in horror- Oh this is definitely not good...

Dune: This just got a lot harder.
-The Thunder Wave that Galvani had fired is wrapped back around, but thankfully just rolls off of Ptah due to his typing.-

Psyche smirks and raises an eyebrow. You don't think my nom de plume was chosen meaninglessly, did you?
She summons her Persona, Psyche, a veiled Gothorita.
I think they said my Arcana was the Moon? I mean, fitting, but ironically, Tarot wasn't my usual go to for divination, I prefer the stars. I dunno that much about the symbology. And as for the Contractor bit... eh, I haven't signed anything yet. I'd honestly prefer to stay as far away from the CU as humanly possible. Call me a Sub-Contractor, if you will. I might join, i probably won't.
"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin
-Ren blinks in amazement as Psyche momentarily is able to manifest her Persona in the physical world. He relaxes a bit when he hears that Psyche isn't a Contractor.-
Ren: Psyche, please don't take this the wrong way, but I am kinda relieved to here your not a Contractor. Keys told me what happened in the Crimson Fog. I cringe at thinking at what we would have had to deal with trying to deal with your Shadow Self.
-Ren rubs his forehead.-
Ren: Still be careful. We have corrupted manifestations of aspects of sentient life after us in the CU that can directly affect the real world. And at least one Persona user that is willing to maim to find us. You may not be a Contractor, but you are still a part of this now. So please, don't let your guard down.
High Priestess of Fabulous
Psyche grimaces. I was afraid of that. And hell, I don't blame you. I recognize my Shadow as absolutely fucking terrifying. I... deal with it in my own ways. Few that are healthy, admittedly. But yeah, keeping my eyes peeled. Like I said, I'm well versed in dealing with psychic forces beyond the normal ken.
"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin
Ren: Good to see you're taking this in stride and prepping for eventualities. Also, if you don't mind, I'll add you to my Contractors messaging group so you can keep in the know. Tagg is in the messaging group as well. He, like you, knows of the Velvet Room and other things, but he isn't a Contractor or Persona user himself.

Psyche nods. Noted. I've done as much looking into this whole sticky wicket lately as I can, so I can at least try to follow as best I can with the conversations, but my official word on the matter is: If you need me, I'm there. Try to not fucking need me.
"If I am to be met with disrespect, then I must first love myself with a fierceness no fool can take away." - Vraska, Gorgon assassin
-Ren gives a slight snort of amusement at the last sentence.-
Ren: Also noted. And if we get to the point where we need you, we would likely be at our final options - and honestly, by then it probably be better time to pick a god and pray... *ahem* Right. You've got any more questions?

Psyche shrugs. I mean, yeah, but I need my rest still. Summoning my Persona still takes a lot out of me right now. I'm gonna meditate for a bit.

Ren: -nodding- Have a good rest then. We'll be in touch. Bye then.
-With a final nod of his head, Ren hangs up.-
Phobetor: <Wait, wha->
-SleepyHead passes out from the Hypnosis directed back at them-
Lisa: <...However that happened, this is not good.>
-Fitchers Vogel goes in for an Acrobatics-
Petilil: <Ah, fair enough. Hopefully you find him soon, though.>

-Susan jumps a little bit and Latias noticeably cringes-
Latias: Careful! Nearly busted a skin!
Susan: Dear? Calm, she didn't. Alright, this time not so hard okay?
Realm of Possessed Psyche, Past
-Pent cringes as the feedback of the Rough Skin scratching flows into him-
He's switching Persona rapidly to exploit defensive Abilities. That is clever and really annoying!
-He beckons Akami back to his side and concentrates for a moment-
Blizzard would be a really bad idea but it's the best I've got for a move that can't be blocked easily. Anyone got any alternatives?
-He actually does know a really good alternative but he's pretty sure saying it might cause his opponent to adapt because as far as he can see this guy/girl/inhabiting intelligence doesn't have a limit on what it can summon-
It's clearly a case of backroom political albumizing.

Realm of Hi-no-Kagutsuchi, Past
Ren: -to Pent- At this point, I'd throw anything at her and hope for the best...-in thought- I'm sorry Psyche...
-Reynaert conjures solid bits of psychic energy and fires them at Asmodues.-
Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!Psyche!: Change! Surt!
-Asmodeus vanishes and is replaced by a Mega Blaziken-like figure with a purple body with red streaks the flames in its right claw form a sword of fire. Surt's flames flare as its Speed Boost activates. What is extremely disturbing is that Surt just sits there taking hit after hit - even super-effective ones.-
Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!Psyche: You maggots have disappointed me. I thought you would suffer more by me using this bitch. I guess it's time to knock the board over.
-Surt's Speed Boost activates again as Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!Psyche uses the speed boosts to Flash Step next to Ren with Surt mimicking the movement to Reyneart.-
-Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!Psyche and Surt grin manically as Surt's fist glows with the power from the Bide Moloch initiated.-
-Ren and Reyneart barely have time to every turn their heads before two fists slam in both the contractor's and Persona's ribs with a sickening crunch. And as the Bide's energy is fully unleashed, Reyneart is blown in half at his waist as Ren vomits various bodily fluids from internal injuries and feedback from his link to Reyneart. Then with a syncronized forward turn, Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!Psyche kick's Ren in the back of the head as Surt decapitates the Reynaert' destabilizing upper body.-
-The impact of Ren's face makes a sickening squelch as the severed body of Reyneart obliterates with the bone-chilling shattering sound.-
-Ren's anti-fog glasses, now cracked beyond repair lie in front of Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!Psyche's shoe. With a defiant stomp he grinds the glasses into dust.-
Hi-no-Kagutsuchi!Psyche: Thanks for being yummy.
-Mendel has nothing but a a blank horrified expression on his face.-

Ren: I just wanted to check if you were okay. I was out for most of the fight with Hi-no-Kagustuchi. I only woke up from my coma I was apparently put in yesterday.
