So here's the thing… We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too. How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here. So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready. Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

More portals? Who are we rescuing? Or is this in case the exploration teams get lost or something?

But also. Magatus? Not sure that's somewhere I want to go back to after last time. I have Ashuramaru though. And that gun. So I might be able to help out somehow, if I have to.

More importantly, what exactly is it we're going to be rescuing our targets from? Is it going to be another monster like that thing that was under the city last month, or something else?

Because figuring out what our skills are isn't going to do us any good if we're going in blind.

[dejerate]

What from, yeah. Might help to have more details on this.

Does the gun have a demon in it, too?

[dejerate]

No. It's just a regular gun. The sword is too? For now. No actual demon in it yet.

[floret]

Oh, sure. I just wondered if all the weapons from your past life were possessed. (Or potentially possessed)

Like, maybe it was just that kind of world.

[dejerate]

Certain weapons have demons sealed inside them but not all of them. I also had a normal sword, before I got to take an exam for using a Cursed Gear.

[floret]

They couldn't come up with a less horrifying name than "Cursed Gear"??

[dejerate]

Apparently. But the point is that the demons sealed inside can boost our power in order to try to make things a more even fight between us and the vampires.

[floret]

I would've thought you needed Blessed Gear to defeat a vampire...
Then again, I suppose there's no reason I should assume that vampires and demons are friends.

[dejerate]

Ashuramaru lends me his power to fight the vampires. So yeah, I'm pretty sure they aren't friends.
