What: Group meetings and some news
When: Week 9

[ When everyone arrives on Monday, Satori's manuscript is on the table. PRESUMABLY BREAK AND LIET HAVE LIFTED THE BOOKMARK, THE ARMOR, AND THE FRIDGE SO THERE'S THAT, TOO.

Leviathan's chilling in the chalk circle, talking to Miata in her usual stiff manner. ]

[ Miata's expression softens. Okay, maybe she was a little worried. Losing even one of her allies wasn't a good prospect. ]

I think so. The demons can all lock and unlock powers, so Leviathan trying to do that herself would be a back-and-forth kinda thing, but as long as we get every available fighter, and take them on in groups, our chances are pretty good. Asmodeus is an archer, for example, so put a bunch of close-range fighters against him to counter that.

[crazily]

[ He nods, since that makes more sense, but he's still concerned about numbers here. Granted, he's definitely comparing these demons to something he knows, but as such, he concerned about people like Rhys and Inaba. They don't stand a chance, so far as he's concerned. Yet if they all need to fight, especially if their ranks get thinned down, it's a problem. Granted, if they die, it might not matter with their plans to revive people, but he would still rather avoid that if at all necessary.

Break crosses his arms, and he shifts his attention back to Miata. He does at least have one idea for himself that he doesn't even know if it's possible or it would work... But there's enough of a chance that he thinks it's worth asking. ]

Then may I ask? Were you the one to give us a second item?

[ But he doesn't actually give her time to answer that, since he goes right into explaining why he's asking at all. ]

If so, then I might be able to assist more if I have my Carcere. If I can summon the Mad Hatter, I wouldn't have long to use it, but that's a Chain made to destroy other Chains. From what I know of these demons, they're similar enough that I think the Hatter could hurt them with more bite than my sword alone.

[neidvoll]

That was me, yeah.

[ .... ]

I don't think I can do that, though. Leviathan was the one who took away Gilbert's...cart...thing away in the first place, since it was screwing with her connection to him. Something about contracts voiding other contracts? So it'll probably be the same thing with you, sorry.

[crazily]

[ He nods, since that's roughly what he had guessed once he became more aware of what was going on here. Still, considering the subject he dips into, his tone turns more serious. ]

You don't need to apologize. I'm asking because what you're asking is likely to kill me regardless. My body won't be able to handle that kind of fight, with or without the Mad Hatter. So if that's the obstacle ahead, then I want to be certain that I'm using my life to push to the better outcome.

[ He shrugs ]

It's not something I understand very well considering these contracts are different from the ones I know, but if I'm better served in a contract with Leviathan, then I'll trust your judgement. Well, I have to, really, but I wanted to offer it as an option. It's the same to me either way.

[Unlocking powers...] There's nothing anyone here could do to me if I had my proper abilities. Not even those demons. Would that be of any use?
