Argenti's Palace

The stage is set they say;
They don their masks and shields,
Shadows creep and cover their minds;
Now, what beautiful role shall they play?

[ Maika's strike actually ends up killing the first demon instead of it saying anything else on the matter. Which, considering everything, is probably more of a blessing, than anything.

As for the other one...well, Aerith's strikes miss, but so does its attempts to fight back (6, 6), so they are equal in this. ]

Unlike that other one I have no intention of telling you a single thing.

[ Even though the creature missed horribly... ]

[bloodandstars]

[ Damn... she kind of liked that demon. Whatever. Maika turns towards the next one opportunistically. ]

Are you sure about that? You have a lot more reasons to be afraid of me than that god of bullshit right now.

[ Or so she says, but given that she rolls an (8), she, the demon, and Aerith are going to keep doing the Dance of Fools (special move) for a bit as she misses her next swipe. ]

Kind of rude to attack us and then not tell us anything, don’t you think?

[ As if she didn’t just join this battle…

But she hits the demon with another Makouha, landing a hit this time (15)!!! ]

[beautifulknight]

Oh yeah, like what?

And so what if I don't tell you anything?

[ There's the tiny scared voice of false bravado because it is the only one left.

It looks like it is five seconds from retreating, especially since it got hit right in the face with some Blessed Damage and that hurts like a bitch! It recoils in the face of its weakness...

Anyway it gets one last wind to cast Fear successfully on Maika this time and then lash out at her (15) ]

[...Hey, hasn't Maika been gone for a really long time?

Celeste is pretty sure she went south, so with the objective being to gather everyone up, he'll just go ahead and head that way, Eli in tow. (Don't Look too close, Aerith.)]

Are you doing alright?

[Regardless of the answer, Maika is sure going to get herself a Rakukaja!]

[bloodandstars]

[ So lucky for him to arrive right as one of these twerps finally manages to hit her with Fear. Maika hisses through her teeth as she doubles over, wrapping her arm around herself. Being scared? That just pisses her off more. But she still can't make her frozen body jolt forward. ]

Just... perfect... better when this ugly bastard is just a stain left behind on my claws...

[gardenful]

[ SHE IS LOOKING, CELETE!!!

Aerith frowns at Maika, considering using Energy Shower, but she sees that this demon has a weakness to her magic and Maika would probably be happier if she took advantage of that over healing her. So...

Aerith sends another Makouha (11) at the demon. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

I'll help!

[ At long last, Eli will let go of Celeste's hand. Buddy system broken, but at least he's still in sight. Time to charge in like a good wolf should! Of course, this proves to be a bad idea because his leaping in with a Great Slice (5).... misses. By a lot.

Great. ]

[ It's fine, Aerith's got y'all.

Her spell attack hits and since it is the enemy's weakness, it also wipes it clean out, ending the battle then and there! ]
