In which the entire tower collectively goes OH SHIT

[tempustemporum]

Characters: The entire tower. PARTY POST.
Setting: Take a wild guess.
Format: Either or.
Summary: The tower has been reduced to one room, and it's chock full of monsters. Who you gonna call?
Warnings: Lots, the least of which being language...


[Well, ladies and gentlemen, shit dun hit the fan.]

[The tower has been condensed to one room with pretty much nothing in it. This post? Do whatever in it. General reactions. Go. ...As for Ienzo, he's just kind of sitting in the corner, head in his hands.]

[It's an odd thing to imagine, two 'same' people fighting side by side, against the swarm of monsters. Some monsters look familiar, others doesn't.

At their distance, Minato summon his his Personas to cast spells. Other times, the mythical beasts or beings would tear through their opposition.]

Parvati!

[A moment for a Mind Charge, follow up by Mabufula from the goddess. The ice spell strike through the creatures from below.]

We just need to open up a path long enough.

[fractus_animus]

Right.

[ It's certainly one of the odder sights out there, to be sure. There's no time for him to be judgemental here; this was life and death, and while he didn't care for himself, those who were defenseless would be a problem.

He needs to change gears, here. This is taking far too long. So, if these things are twisted, Light spells must surely work, right? That's the idea, anyway, which is why he turns to Mahamaon with Thanatos, felling as many instantly as he can, hoping to clear them some moving room.

There's a soft whisper in his mind, and he replies softly to his Persona, that fragment of unstable Death full of malice. ]

... Kill everything in your path not wearing a collar.

[ Sometimes, he doesn't need to order Thanatos to do things, because although it was taxing, it could manifest itself using him for short periods. He'll take advantage of that now, letting it carve a destructive swath out of the remaining things in their way.

After you, SEES self. ]

[evokingfool]

[Seeing Thanatos is both surprising and yet, not surprising to Minato at all. He haven't seen the powerful Persona since that time in the Underworld.

Parvati's soothing influence and figure retreated into his mind, letting him use another Persona in her stead. He can feel the 'mask' slip on as he point the evoker at his head.]

Mot.

[Contrasting to the Mahamaon by Thanato, the Canaanite god use Mamudoon on those that avoided the Light spell. A fair number of them falls from them, clearing them more space...and a better path.

Keeping the entombed god out, Minato move through the now open path. C'mon, Strega self.]

[fractus_animus]

[ Oh, he's following, and putting bullets in everything that happens to be nearby or attacking people that he can get a clear shot at, even as he moves.

...

This is the mark of someone very skilled with a gun. He remains silent as they move, though he does summon Samael to cast Support skills on the both of them (Rakukaja, Sukukaja, Tarukaja), which should hopefully help. ]

[evokingfool]

[His doppelganger's skill with a gun is worthy of respect, as long it's not aimed at the wrong target.

The Support skills was much appreciated, letting Mot cast Magarula or Zionga with more magical power behind them. Sure enough, the monster crowd was steadily being thinned on their end.]

[fractus_animus]

[ Heh. That depends entirely on who should be on the wrong side of a Request, but nevertheless, he can at least mildly appreciate the Death arcana Persona his SEES double is using.

...

Of course, he's a little more limited, himself; he only has the two, but they're useful in their own ways. It doesn't take long before they've at least (temporarily) cleared some space. ]

[evokingfool]

[Time and effort spent in fusion gave him a very nice Death arcana Persona. He'd switch if he need to use another skill or protect himself from the Light.

Minato quickly glance around, seeking out more monsters. He can feel the mental drain from Mot using spells. But he's still focused as ever.]

[fractus_animus]

[ At least they've worked closer to the stairs.

It doesn't take long to reach them but when he looks up the staircase, wondering why no one is going upstairs--

Nothing. An empty void. ... He doesn't like the feeling in the pit of his stomach; it reminds him too much of the emptiness usually signified by... well, Death. ]

... The other floors are gone.

[ What... BUT this is not a time to let a momentary shock catch him off-guard, so he'll just be shooting what he can. ]

[evokingfool]

[He looks up at the staircase in surprise, verifying with his own eyes that what the other Minato said is true.

There's nothing up there.]

Bother.

[Mot give the monster an Evil Smile, paralysing them with fear.]

[fractus_animus]

[ Oh, just his turn, then. That makes this WAY easier for Thanatos to just mow them down while they're rooted in place.

But seriously, this is worrisome. Well, at least the stairs are... some sort of safe. For now.

But he's getting weak. Thanatos takes a lot out of him, due to his--condition. ]

... We're... going to have to just hold them off. I don't see any other way out...

[ God, he's going to go through overlap after this. Doubling his Suppressants would not be wise, but... ]

[evokingfool]

Until a path opens up.

[A little hopeful. But he's prepared if it doesn't come.

Which would mean this battle is one of attrition. They got to clear out all of these monsters, quick. Mot let out a Ghastly Wail, killing any remaining afraid monsters.]
