33: Ever seen a flying shadow? [video]

[needsteaplz]

[It's the Dark Hour when the feed starts but not by the user's hand and it's the door that leads to Caliban. Saori stands outside looking at the place before attempting to open the door. She pulls but it's locked tight.]

That's odd, Caliban won't open up now? I wonder...

[She takes a step back and  BAM! delivers a strong kick to the door which doesn't even budge the door. In fact, it was the opposite effect she wanted. Guess who's on the ground, holding her foot?]

Ow ow ow!!!.....Diarama!

[While she's healing up her foot, a larger shadow approaches from behind. Without even looking up, Saori spoke.]

I'm getting really sick...of everything changing all of a sudden!  No new answers about why we're here or anything else. And you are not helping!

[Wait, is that a killing aura coming from her? The poor shadow doesn't see that kick coming that sends it flying. When it becomes nothing more than twinkle in the sky, the feed ends.]

True. Still I find it odd we haven't dealt with a particularly super strong shadow in a while. It's been nothing but small fry so far.

Nice move, by the way.

I had begun to wonder about that myself. The explanation I was given on my arrival claimed that the moon effects typically ended with the appearance of an unusually strong Shadow, but I've yet to see an example of such myself.

*The compliment, though, earns a smirk.*

As for that last Shadow, I would be a poor military commander if I was the sort to allow something so pitiful to catch me off guard.

I'm sure we'll be dealing with one eventually. Maybe there are bigger ones in Caliban...whenever we can get it open, that is.

That's very true. Maybe one of these days we should have a sparring match.

[misplacedxsheath]

I'll have to take you up on that at some point. Perhaps after we find out what exactly is sealing those doors.

[needsteaplz]

No Personae, so it'll be just our own skills. I'm looking forward to that already.

[misplacedxsheath]

Agreed, it wouldn't be worth it if it just came down to a matter of which one of us has had more time to develop our Persona. Of course, that still leaves the question of what kinds of weapons are allowed.

[needsteaplz]

I mostly do hand to hand but I know how to wield a sword. I have no qualms about sparring an armed opponent though.

[misplacedxsheath]

I'm capable in both, but I have a distinct preference for a blade. Since you have no objections, that's more than likely what I'll be using.
