[X] Patra the girl!

"...I'll get back to you on that." You tell Virtue, "Let me see what I can do. Can you give me a little space?"

Shoji and Yuma back away from Kohaku, but Nagisa seems a bit more hesitant. You decide to simply reach over her to cast your skill. After all, it's not like you're attacking her.

You take a deep breath, and...

(YUMI: PATRA)
(KOHAKU...)

...You grimace, your spell not holding. Whatever it is, it's not a "status ailment". You sigh, thankful that your Grandma's magical prowess is a suitable backup plan. You shoot her a text...

>Hey, um, my friend Kohaku was apparently screaming and panicking and then passed out? Patra didn't work?? Any ideas???

...And sent. You'd better get started on warding the apartment, while you have time.

"So, I'm guessing that didn't work?" Shoji asks, stopping by your side as you begin your warding, "...What's that?"

"Wards." You answer simply, trying to focus on creating them, "Very precise work, sorry."

"Damn. Alright, I'll..." Shoji huffs in frustration as he looks to Kohaku, "...I'll stay by her side."

You hate to send him away without explaining again, but you really need to focus. Put a string of energy like so...

"Mr. Shoji?" Yuma finally pipes up, "Is Ms. Kohaku gonna be okay?"

"I wish I knew, kid." He sits down on the bed.

Predictably, Yuma doesn't join him. "Yuma's scared for Ms. Kohaku."

"I am, too." Shoji admits, "All of this magic and demon stuff has got me a little... Uneasy." He understates.

Well, at least you got the wards down. You check your phone...?

>Gma (2): Yumi, you may very well be dealing with a curse. They are quite tricky to rid oneself of.
>Gma: You may want to bring her here, if only so I may confirm my suspicions.

You huff, shoving your phone into your pocket. This day's just one headache after another...

(???: 13)

Before you can begin to think of a course of action, you hear a loud bang from your door. Then another.

Is someone trying to break in?!

Virtue stands ready at your side. Nagisa comes up from your flank, prepared to support. Yuma holds her cane in shakey hands, Griffon perched on a chair near the door. Shoji stands behind you, trying to obscure Kohaku from whatever may come through the door.

[] ?????????????????????????????
 
What was Yuma's shadow-cat nightmare called again? (...Nightmare, maybe?) We could ask her to send it to sneak out and see who's out there, and report back. Give us a specific idea of how to prepare.

Besides that, I think having Shoji get Kohaku out of the vicinity of any potentially-flying combat spells might be a good idea about now, and everyone else casting buffs.

Maybe a dash of, "Who is it? Don't knock so hard, damnit." It could just be someone we know or who heard a girl screaming, and the roll was their control check vs Being An Ass.
 
[] Gesture for everyone to keep quiet, motion for Shoji to get Kohaku out of the room, then go see who's at the door
-[] If friendly, let them in and ask them why they were banging so hard
-[] If hostile, summon Black Frost and Wendigo and prepare for battle

Best I can think of.

We still have a gun! We could point it at the door as we open it!

Not our most dangerous of our arsenal, but enough to stun I feel like.
 
Consider: it may be a cop, Nagisa's mom, or someone else we really shouldn't point a gun at.
We can justify that better than a sword to the face imo

I would rather at least have a weapon in hand than just 'open door, prepare for combat' when they can attack us as soon as we open the door

Edit: At the very least, have Yumi hold it, not necessarily aim it. If it's an enemy, just pull up and shoot. If not, than just dismiss the gun.

[X] Plan "You don't have us trapped, we have you surrounded".
-[X] Whisper to Yuma to send Shadow to sneak around and flank whoever's out there, just in case, but not be seen or attack unless whoever it is starts something.
-[X] Whisper to Shoji and Virtue to get Kohaku out of the possible line of fire... or at least out of sight
-[X] Direct Nagisa to... some form of concealment. "White Mage doesn't take the front line unless she has to."
-[X] Pull out gun -- observing proper gun safety, of course -- go up to the door, look through the peephole if there is one, try to see who it is.
--[X] If we don't recognize them, raise voice a bit, "Sorry about the noise! Uh, who is it?" and move to the side in case they try to break the door down (and so we're out of everyone else's line of fire... ice, lightning, what-have-you)

Copying Kutenaibi's, but modifying it a bit. Pixie for safety, and Granny in an attempt to keep in collateral inside our home down. TG can lunge them off the railing.

And not letting them in just because they're not hostile.

-[X] have everyone else stand out of the line of sight from the door with Nagisa at the center of your formation.

-[X] ask Yuma to send Shadow around to scout and flank whoever is at the door, snf Griffin to watch your group's back and the windows,
-[X] politely ask who it is and what they want, attack through the door if Shadow confirms a hostile or if they respond with hostility.

Either way, if it's someone we know we're giving them the Granny Eyes lol

We should do that with Kohaku when we get time to, see if we can see something that could be a curse; even if we have no idea what to look for, seeing anything weird at all would be something.
 
We found Vergil, guys! Vergil is inside Yumi's head!

There is a tie. I do not want there to be a tie.

Please remedy this.
