[For once, Vriska's posting during the Dark Hour. Yellow eyes were looking almost challengingly at the screen, her blue lips twisted into a frown]

So, all you guys who have that Persona thing awakened... the hell is that supposed to be? It caaaaaaaan't be a part of yourself; that would be just dumb. So what is it?

[You might see that in her face, she looked mildly... disturbed]

And what is that supposed to do aaaaaaaanyway?

[Issei fell in line, keeping an eye out for any groups of Shadows they could demonstrate their skills on.]

[action]

[scorpiospider]

It's stupid this only lasts for an hour. This is the closest to home I've seen.

[action]

[unknownrival]

I'm sorry. Most of the rest of us are a bit unnerved by it.

[action]

[scorpiospider]

It's fighting and hectic and I'm a troll again. I have my horns and claws and everything. So it's like home. The closest outside this is when Pinkie gets a stupid idea.

[Vriska stopped, not even noticing a nearby group of Shadows] ... and even then they're not good stupid ideas.

[action]

[unknownrival]

While I won't argue about Rider's stupid ideas, your targets are here.

[He gestured at the group.]

[action]

[scorpiospider]

[Vriska just turned her head to the Shadows, concentrating to bring out Anansi... only to be surprised from behind and have her hand ripped from Issei's]

Shit!

[action]

[unknownrival]

Bufu!

[As Jikokuten sent another blast of ice at their opponents, Issei drew his sword.] Do you mind if I don't leave you any to test that out on?

[action]

[scorpiospider]

Of course I mind! [She stood, grinning] They're miiiiiiiine.

[She concentrated again, just managing to call and cast Marin Karin before another hit her. The Shadow paused, confused, charmed]

[action]

[unknownrival]

...So what does it usually do now?

[Issei kept a wary eye on the other Shadows.]

[action]

[scorpiospider]

Attack each other. [Vriska took a few steps back, watching the Shadows fight briefly... before the one she charmed was snapped out of it] Oh come on!

[action]

[unknownrival]

[Issei sighed and moved to stab one of the Shadows.] It'll get better at it with practice.

[action]

[scorpiospider]

[Vriska growled, an inhuman noise, as she rushed a Shadow with her claws out]

[action]

[unknownrival]

That's going to scare me the next few times I hear it, isn't it...

[Another swipe and blast of ice.]

[action]

[scorpiospider]

[Probably not as much as what she did next, which was attack it with her own claws and fangs until she was able to pull one arm off, beating it with its own arm while laughing]

[action]

[unknownrival]

That's going to scare me every time you do it!

[action]

[scorpiospider]

[Her response was to laugh more, beating the Shadow to death with its own arm. Blue blood ran free down her face and arm from unnoticed cuts, deep into her midblood psychosis.]

Die! Die die die die die die die die!

[action]

[unknownrival]

Get a hold of yourself!

[That could not be good. Although he feared for his safety, he approached her, trying to grab a hold of her arm.]

[action]

[scorpiospider]

[Vriska growled, turning to swipe at him and barely missing his nose. She shook under his grasp, growling]

... let me go.

[action]

[unknownrival]

You're scaring me. You can fight them without blind rage.

[action]

[scorpiospider]

[Vriska leaned in, nose to nose, growling threateningly]

[action]

[unknownrival]

[Issei didn't flinch.] Vriska.

[action]

[scorpiospider]

... damn it...

[Vriska broke eye contact first, sagging in his grip] Let me go, damn it.

[action]

[unknownrival]

[Issei let go of her.] ...Better.

[action]

[scorpiospider]

[Vriska swiped again at his face, grinning madly]

[action]

[unknownrival]

Ow! What was that for?

[He held a hand up over his nose, wincing.]
