final trial

[After a harrowing couple of hours, some illuminating discoveries, a couple of new allies, and a couple of new injuries, eventually Garfield's warning comes to mind. Shit's popping off. And now that you've got all of the ritual components (minus the hammer which, well, you have its owner), it might be time to return to the trial room and see if you can do something about it.

Reconvene in the Great Hall and make your way upstairs.]
ghostsguysgyuudon: Angry. (hey you)

[Mei grabs her sword tightly with one hand, undoing it from her side with the other.]

Who are you? What do you want?

[The giant skull leans in slightly.]

I'm Death, little girl.

And since you all did me such a big favor setting me free, I'll let you in on a secret.

The real Saint Germain was in the theater. I saw how much you liked him, and I thought, since I'm trapped in this fucker's body, I can use that to toy around with your little seance.

Humans are so easy to trick.
ghostsguysgyuudon: Pleading. (busted)

[personal profile] ghostsguysgyuudon 2022-05-15 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
What? So when you came in that day...

[Mei doesn't move, though it's hard to say if it's courage, the spell draining her, or her habit of freezing up at everything.]

Because you knew I'd believe him? And because I haven't been able to actually see or talk with the ghosts since I got here?
ghostsguysgyuudon: Gasping, standing behind Gorou. (didn't sign up for this)

[Mei's eyes widen. She looks around her on all sides.]

It's -- okay! Yes, right away! Come on!

[And then she takes on that glow from the party, with another voice.]

[ Mei's expression shifts to one she wouldn't normally make. A bit of a devious smirk, if you will. ]

Greetings, intrepid heroes. This is Azul- listen and listen carefully. You are not alone. Us dearly departed are going to help you, since even Death can only wish to grasp hold of us now.

[ He speaks like he would back at home amongst a sea of his own students. The Dealmaker, the Housewarden of Octavinelle is here to command your attention. ]

Blood, Fire, Metal, Water, Air, Earth. We will break each ward protecting the artifacts in order, which will buy you all a small window of time to destroy those specific artifacts in order as well.

[ He points to each artifact with the sword as he speaks. ]

Once they're all dealt with, it will render our skeletal friend completely mortal for a brief time. Use that time wisely and take him down for good.

Any questions? I don't have much time, so be quick about it.

[ Since you know, Death is kind of looming over all of them. ]

Any weak points? That is a sizable skeleton.

[Obvious question, of course!]
squidproquos: (I've been a nasty.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-05-15 02:31 am (UTC)(link)
He will have a vulnerable period with each artifact that gets destroyed. You have time to chip at him in between each one. Once all of the artifacts are gone, just wail on the poor bag of bones. I'm sure he'll come crumbling down all too easy, anyways.
replacementshield: (> Hm)

[personal profile] replacementshield 2022-05-15 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph, that will have to be enough.

[...]

Good to see you again, Azul. And the assistance is appreciated.

We'll use what time you will buy us well.
squidproquos: (At the end of day three)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-05-15 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear it.

[ He grins. ]

It's good to see you again as well, Felix.

Between all of us, I'm sure we should be able to handle that much. We won't let you down, I promise you.

And... I'm glad to see that all of you are all right. [...] In a certain sense of the word.
squidproquos: (seen the light)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-05-15 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Excellent. A certain sense indeed.

[ A sixth sense, if you wi- ]

We're all rooting for you over here.
spitessier: (9)

[personal profile] spitessier 2022-05-15 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Easy enough. Thank you for the advice.

[If there's one thing he's great at with his Persona is wailing on enemies, that's for sure]

Nice to have heard from you once again, Ashengrotto.
squidproquos: (Leave it to me.)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-05-15 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Of course. It's good to hear from you as well, Katsuya.
rikonstructed: (1)

[personal profile] rikonstructed 2022-05-15 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Understood. That will be enough.

[And he's a little smugly pleased to hear from the dead again as well. The Patron being furious about it is a good bonus.]

All of you, hold out a little longer. Once we settle this...
squidproquos: (i've mended all my ways)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-05-15 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, Nuadha. All in due time.

[personal profile] unfinishedwork 2022-05-15 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
Wait what the fuck-

I thought I ate all of you fuckers!

[You don't have to dignify this with a response.]
squidproquos: (and do I help them?)

[personal profile] squidproquos 2022-05-15 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, he laughs at that. ]

Oh boo hoo, you poor, unfortunate soul. Sorry, but we're off the menu.
