Week 7: Fast Forward to 2020

[foundationmods]

It is done.

The last tape has played. All of the information that can be found from them has been discovered. They are free to re-watch the tapes, but nothing new can be found there.

The barrier will fail next Saturday. This is unavoidable. The barrier set by Tages will finally fall, and the curse will be free once more.

The only question is, what will those left alive in 2020 do to prepare?

[The incantation is quick thanks to Archer's lessons, and a barrier forms around the miasma. Unsurprisingly to anyone who's met him before, Mitsuru looks thoroughly unimpressed with the state of things.]

...Everyone's been hard at work while we were gone, I see. [How. How does he get the disdain to drip from his words like that.]

[le_mat]

[Ren is behind him, whistling]

Wow, you really have gotten faster with your casting.

[He isn't summoning a Persona since they might be wanting to do something with this evil smoke bomb but he's here if it's needed]

[finalguard]

[ Boa has no cool powers to add to this entrance. He doesn't even look particularly awesome, given he has two large shopping bags in hand. You can sea two bottles of soda peak out of one. ]

... how nostalgic. 'Do I even want to ask' is such a familiar sentiment...

[linearcrash]

[ He's bringing up the rear. ]

Whoa! What the hell is happening here, hey yo?! Why is there a twink on the ground?

[killtheanimals]

I'd like to know that myself.

[Placing one hand on his hip, since the other is occupied with his staff - of course.]

[finalguard]

[ And since everyone else is just kind of occupied trying to neutralize a curse (which Boa has no qualifications for), Boa takes it upon himself to examine the poor passed-out man.

Does he react when cautiously poked...? Does he seem in need of immediate immediate attention...? ]

[reanimania]

[ kind of rolls up like a pill bug tbh ]

Jaaaaade, stop iiit....

[finalguard]

[ Well, that's good. He wouldn't entirely put it past the group to accidentally beat a guy to death - they're all pretty good at accidental murder....

But also. Ugh.

Time to hold a cold can of soda to his face to hopefully wake him up faster before this gets embarrassing. ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

He's from the house and he was full of that.

[She's also gonna take this opportunity to transform offscreen.]

[linearcrash]

[ It's not one of those weird naked transformation with color censoring it right? because he's a married man now ]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Kind of? But it's also actually instantaneous apparently so no worries.]

[houndumb]

Hah! I just heard there might be a damn good fight here, so I'm here!! And stuff!

[And stuff, indeed. But Nora is shaking out his fists, ostensibly for residue miasma and not because Saphir was any kind of good punching bag, and looking Extremely Smug in the background after everything even though he only did half the job. It's fine.]

Now we just gotta deal with this stupid blob thing!

[excavated]

[honestly, Syaoran has no idea if this is even going to work or anything, but it's a common superstition, isn't it...? so he turns his back on the barrier where the miasma is and takes out his secret weapon - salt. and just chucks some over his left shoulder to see what happens there.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[...............seriously.

syaoran. she believed in you.]

[excavated]

[LOOK

IF CURSES EXIST

MAYBE SUPERSTITIONS TO GET RID OF BAD LUCK/THE DEVIL WILL WORK TOO]

[foundationmods]

[The salt doesn't work because it's not a weakass curse, Syaoran!!

Thankfully, Mitsuru exists.]

[excavated]

[ ]

[le_mat]

If you need Bless element I can blast it?

[killtheanimals]

[Wow guys.] Is that the best you've got?

[excavated]

Actually, I have a lot of ideas, but I wanted to test out the more shakier, uncertain concepts first.

[but he'll let others take the charge in tests before he tries again]

[killtheanimals]

[Ah.]

So this is just a test subject, then. You might want to keep a better hold of it next time - assuming there is a next time.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Karen, or rather Aqua, guesses she's up, then. She'll aim right for the miasma...]

Precure Aqua Stream!

[foundationmods]

[It doesn't seem happy about the water, and it definitely does weaken, but it's not sufficiently pure enough to kill it completely.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[About what she expected, then. Sapphire Arrows might be more effective, but probably not enough to wipe it out.]

[le_mat]

Let me try it.

[His eyes glow for a moment as he passes his hand over his face, switching his mask. And anyone from Camp should recognize Ren's go-to healing persona only like, massive instead of the tiny size it was back then.]

...I won't try the auto kill unless we run out of options.

[Instead he'll try Kougaon- Horus summoning lances of holy light down onto the captured ball]
