[X] *text back* Who are you, and what do you want?
Thank you for bringing these misspellings and poor word choices to light. I can't imagine how long this took for you!
I suppose I should get on top of things by fixing them after I write up the update for today!
1172: Memories.
New
[X] "If you hurt Sayaka, I'm killing you--"
Your eyes widen as you reread the word 'demon' a second time. There's no way Sayaka could know about that...
...So that means that this isn't Sayaka you're texting.
>YOU: Who are you, and what do you want?
>Blueberry: You've made quite a few enemies in Akami Springs, Demon. You tell me.
>Blueberry: As for what we want... Well, I prefer to show, not tell.
You receive a picture from Sayaka's phone.
Sayaka seems to be unconscious, handcuffed to a pole in some dilapidated building or a basement.
>Blueberry: Your little apprentice gave us a little trouble. One of our guys is dead because of her. So, we've decided to cut you a little deal.
>YOU: Deal?
>Blueberry: You'll come to us. You'll come alone. Or we kill her. Simple, right?
>Blueberry: We can talk details when you get here, Demon. We're quite excited to see you again.
(INT CHECK: 14+10)
>YOU: Where?
Your hand twitches.
>Blueberry: So, you accept? Good girl. Just remember to come alone, unless you want this little shit to get her throat cut.
Another picture. Without hesitation, you open it.
It's in the industrial district, you know that for sure. But where exactly...?
(INT ROLL: 11+10)
At first, you have no clue where this is, but then you spot something.
A bent lamp post on the left.
This is on the way to your demon Gang's hideout.
You know this area. You've been through it a few times.
>Blueberry: See you soon, Demon.
Shoji glances at you from your side, but quickly looks away when he sees your face.
"Yumi?" Homura steps a little closer, "You look angry."

[X] Plan They've Bitten Off More Than They Can Chew
-[X] "Some old… acquaintances, shall we say, have Sayaka. They want me to come alone, buuuut…" *smirk dangerously* "… something tells me they won't be expecting actual Demons."
--[X] Separate from the group at the nearest Terminal and warp back to the Gang's hideout, then summon Devil Dog
---[X] Have Rakshasa gather the Gang and inform them that we have a rescue and subdue mission, and that Devil Dog will be serving as their commanding officer for the duration of this operation
----[X] Emphasize that you want the enemy alive unless otherwise noted
-----[X] Ideally, Lorelei's Lullaby will put them all to sleep without a fight, but failing that, the plan is for Yurlungur to create a smokescreen with Fog Breath followed by the Demons ambushing the enemy and physically restraining them
----[X] Head to the place from the picture, watching for hostiles and opportunities while the Demons get into position to strike when you give the order
If these are just ordinary criminals, then they stand absolutely no chance. Devil Dog is in charge of the Demon Gang in the event that we aren't able to directly communicate with them because I'm hoping his military background means he'll have more experience in a command structure like this.

On the off chance these guys can see demons, how about not summoning the ones we are keeping with us until we get into the middle of their trap.
Side note, what are the odds that it's Doppleganger that's in the pic, and the actual Sayaka got away?
Things are getting serious. Luckily, we got a cheat on our side.
[X] Plan: Time magic is really useful
-[X] Take a deep breath. Time was of the essence, but you need to think about the situation and what options you have.
-[X] If Sayaka had actually killed one of her assailants, then she must have felt like her life had been in serious danger, even though she was a demon tamer. That made it probable that this was a demon you were dealing with, or at least someone with knowledge of the magical side of the world.
--[X] Homura can stop time, right? And move while it is stopped? Ask her if she can help, if she has any limits on her power, etc. If you played your cards right, you could get the drop on this enigmatic entity before they even realized you were there.
---[X] If you can travel with Homura during a time stop, bring Shoji with you. You didn't need to worry about the warning to come alone if you could simply slip by the enemy while they were frozen.
Hope this isn't too wordy. Homura did tell Yumi that she could stop time, right?

Why bring Shoji? No offense, but I don't see him adding anything to the fight. He'd be more useful protecting dad.
Okay, fair. Dropped the part about summoning Lorelei and Yurlungur when we're getting the Gang involved.
If it was Doppelgänger, I'm pretty sure they would've run into Repel Physical at some point during the capture.
Yumi only knows that Homura can turn back time, not that she can stop time.
EX 118: Altercation.
New
You turn your cruiser off once you reach the address, and step out with your notepad in hand. It's an awkward start to the day, but you need to collect a statement from Ms. Miki.
...Should you just call her 'Sayaka'? You shake your head, deciding to just call her Miki to keep some semblance of professionalism between you and her. You're on duty, after all.
As you begin to walk up the stairs to the correct apartment, a door opens.
Miki looks at you, a little confused. "Uh... Hi?" She waves awkwardly, "Can I help you?"
"Oh, good morning!" You step closer, "I'm Officer Minato Omaya, we spoke on the phone yesterday?"
Miki blinks in surprise and recollection, "Wait, that was you? I think I've seen you with Yumi a few times!"
"L-Let's, um, not dwell on that right now." You scratch underneath your police hat, "I'm here to collect your statement about that person who took a picture of you."
Miki grimaces, "Him, yeah." She steps past you, stopping just at the sidewalk, "Well, he was wearing jeans and a dark gray jacket, seemed a little on the tall side, and seemed to keep to the industrial district."
"What makes you say that?" You ask, genuinely curious about how she came to that conclusion.
"Well, I didn't see him the rest of the day." Miki explains as you join her on the sidewalk, "So either he keeps close to the industrial district, or he slipped away to harass some other girl."
You finish writing down her statements, then ask, "I'm guessing you didn't see his face?"
Miki shakes her head, "He kept his hood up, and always faced away from me. It was really creepy...! If I didn't know any better, I'd say he's done this before."
You nod, jotting down a couple more notes, "He just had a phone, right? No weapons, like knives or bats?"
Miki shakes her head, "No, just his phone. That doesn't mean I felt safe, though. He...?"
You both take note of the black minivan pulling up next to you. A woman steps out, black hair tied in a ponytail.
"Oh, officer!" She jogs closer, "You've gotta help!"
"Oh, uh, one moment!" You blink, putting your notepad away and--
A deafening bang rings in your ears as something rips through your right leg.
As you're falling to the ground, the woman aims her derringer at your chest--
Miki grabs the woman's hand at the last second, and the bullet flies into your left arm.
There's shouting, you can't make it out. Two other men step out from the minivan and run towards Miki.
She pulls her phone out, only to have it snatched by the woman, who hits the poor girl with the handle of her pistol. Another man grabs Miki as she struggles, and they begin to pull her away.
Something bubbles up in your chest.
Their backs are to you.
You draw your handgun and take aim.
"Motherfucker!!" You fire at them, hitting one of the men in the back, the arm, and the head. He goes limp as you pepper the van, shooting out a window as the assailants pull the body of their comrade in and speed off.
"Get back here!!" You pull yourself down the street, "Rrrgaaah...!" Your breaths are quick and shallow as you toss your empty gun to the side and reach for your radio. Through pained breaths, you manage to speak.
"Omaya to dispatch! Omaya to dispatch!!"
Your radio buzzes to life, "Dispatch."
"Shots fired, I'm hit...!"

"pull"
EDIT:
We have Null Physical, not Null Ranged. Bullets will still hurt a little… unless you're imagining them just trying to club us with the guns themselves for some reason.

I thought we had Resist Ranged.We have Null Physical, not Null Ranged. Bullets will still hurt a little… unless you're imagining them just trying to club us with the guns themselves for some reason.
Which, yeah it'll do damage, but it's just gonna leave dots on our skin. I don't see normal firearms breaking our skin unless it's a huge caliber.
Edit:
Also, I find the image of Yumi just walking through bulletfire to be very intimidating.
"I've gotten stronger since the last time we met" type shit lol

Oh boy, I wonder if these guys who couldn't beat pre-demon summons Yumi have anything that actually can hurt us. We have beads in case they harm sakuya right? Also, did we use the strength incense yet?
