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.

I'd pick an extremely angry witch who'd been imprisoned in a well over the trees.

I would probably not pick being turned into a demon again over the trees, mostly because I almost killed somebody, but it's worryingly close.

Agreed. Though it was a weird bird-fish-zombie hybrid for me.

What does that even look like?

[Tatsuo just.... attaches a picture of himself from back in October. His skin is a pale grey and his eyes are golden-orange and hawk-like. His hair has a feathery texture and stands up like a crest, with white streaks starting at each temple. And two large brown wings are folded around his shoulders. If Shuji knows anything about raptors, he might recognize the coloration of an osprey.]

You can't see it by my hands were webbed and I had bird feet.

[Shuji attaches a selfie in return.]

Could be worse as far as looks go.

Wow. Those are some statement horns.

As fucked up as October was, I really enjoyed flying.

Horns that make all the other demons jealous. Flying was the best part of the month, no question.
