Vote splitting... again... I'm sorry I keep doing this, I just have so many dialogue ideas and too much ADHD I can't afford to get diagnosed+treated to just write my own stuff already dangit.

More quietly, "We should at least make sure they can call for help when they need to, and know how to."

855: "No Blood."
[X] Levity, where you can find it.

While you'd like to get in contact with Shoji as soon as you can, you're currently carrying one (1) Kyoko. You'll have to wait until you're inside to set Kyoko down on the couch or... something. You'll figure it out once you're inside.

Kohaku walks just ahead of you, and opens the door. As soon as she steps inside, you hear Grandma gasp.

"What happened?" She asks as she approaches your bloodied friend, "You're not hurt, are you?"

"I... No. We..." Kohaku stumbles over her words, avoiding eye contact.

"It's over. The cult is leaderless." You finish for her, "It was..." Deep breath, "...We won."

"You two won." Kyoko corrects, "I was what got them into that whole shebang."

"On that note, uh, you..." You think of just how to word your thoughts, "...You wouldn't happen to know how to get blood out of clothes, would you?"

Grandma nods, "I'm a little rusty in that particular area, but yes. I'll handle your clothes, you just get washed up."

"Oh, uh, alright!" You nod, "Kohaku, you should go first! I can wait, honest!"

Kohaku hesitates for a moment, then nods, heading off to the bathroom. Then, you set Kyoko down on the couch, and--

"No." Grandma stops you before you sit next to her, "No blood on the couch."

You blink. She was just across the room a moment ago. "How'd you--?"

"No blood. On my nice couch." She reiterates.

You simply nod in response.

This seems to please Grandma, as she turns away and shuffles back to her original position.

"...Your Grandma scares me, Yumi." Kyoko mutters to you.

"Understandable." You mutter back, before you both hazard a glance at Grandma.

She waves happily to you.

You slowly turn back to each other.

Kyoko sighs, "So, I'm guessin' you're wondering how I got... Got?"

"Hey, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." You almost put your hand on her shoulder, but stop. "B-But, if you wanna--?"

"They jumped me. There. Let's leave it at that." Kyoko quickly finishes.

"...Okay." You nod to her, pulling your phone out.

>YOU->Shoji: We're back at Grandma's. Let's meet back up there.

...Sent. Now, how to kill time until Kohaku's done in the shower...

--[X] If you still have time to kill afterward, ask your grandmother about Mithras. Why did your mother choose to seal him instead of taking him out? And why into a TV of all things?

Speaking of the Incenses, @TremendousMilk3, the Incense set we got from the Wheel incident is missing from our inventory.

...I mean technically the shotgun might not just "shoot things". Depends on the ammo.

Yumi: *shoots lady demon with shotgun*
Lady demon: *becomes charmed from Charm Bullets, tries to flirt with Yumi*
Kohaku: *becomes enraged*

In Unearthing Light, Vergil doesn't really know how to care about anyone, including himself to some extent. "For some reason, whenever I see Rei Hino, or one of the other Guardians get hurt, I... Get angry. At first, I believed it was because they were disappointing in their movements, but now..."

856: Mithras And The TV
[X] Catching up.

You keep your phone out, and decide it would be best to read any messages you might've got throughout this whole ordeal. You open your messages...

(1) Mami: Hello! Some of those cultist were trying to sneak behind the school. Let's just say they're not going anywhere anytime soon~! Who knew my ribbons could catch four normal people (sarcasm~)?

(1) Homu: Cultists at Mitakihara Middle School. Tomoe handled it.

(1) Madoka: I heard about what happened from Arthur! Is everything okay? Are you hurt?

(1) Buckethead: Nothing here, but I'll stay vigilant. Good luck on your end, Yumi.

(1) Kuzunoha Guy: yo it's nori when can i get ur uncle his fone?
>EDIT: phon
>EDIT: pone
>EDIT: his fucking thing u know what i mean

...Well, there's nothing exactly pressing. No news is good news, you suppose. Next up, your prizes from Mithras's game show. You look on your Gauntlet's screen...

(BALM OF RISING: REVIVES ONE ALLY WITH ALL HP RESTORED.)
(DIAMOND: NO DIRECT USE IN BATTLE.)
(MAGIC GEM SET: A SET OF MAGIC GEMS THAT CASTS THEIR RESPECTIVE SPELL ONCE.)
(CHR INCENSE: FULLY RESTORES HP AND MP, AND IS SAID TO MAKE ITS USER MORE APPEALING.)

...What?

Well, that incense set seems pretty powerful, and those Balms of Rising are definitely valuable. Maybe you can pawn off the Diamond somewhere?

...But now that you think about it...

"Hey, Grandma?" You ask her, "So, I met this demon that was sealed inside of a TV--?"

"Ah, Mithras?" Grandma smiles fondly, "Oh, that feels like a lifetime ago! See, it was just at the beginning of your mother's career..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Ryoko, I'm losing ground!" You growl out as Mithras pushes you back in a blade lock, "Whatever you're doing, hurry the hell up!!"

"Keep your damn pants on!" She shouts back, digging for something in the window of a store, "I need a-- Here we go!"

Both you and the demon glance to see what Ryoko has produced from the--

"What kind of joke is this?" Mithras pushes you aside, "Are you attempting to confuse me?"

"Nope!" Ryoko grins, showing all of her teeth, "Have fun in the 'tube, bud!"

(RYOKO CASTS: SEALING GLYPH)

"No!" Mithras shouts as he's pulled into the TV by tendrils of light, "Ryoko Konishi, you will rue the day you stood against me! I swear upon my--!!"

The air goes quiet. Ryoko sighs, and jumps up from her seated position, "Did you see me do that?!" She laughs as she almost skips over to you, "Now begins the legend of Ryoko Kuzunoha!"

"I thought it was Ryoko Konishi?" You grin.

Her eyes narrow. "W-We're just dating, Raido! I only said that because I drew a blank! Besides, I didn't want to give a demon my full name! And...!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, she would've sealed him in anything else?" You ask, crossing your arms.

"That television simply happened to be there, yes." Grandma nods, "But enough about that, I... Oh, hello, Kohaku."

Kohaku waves slightly, wearing a different set of clothes, "Hey...!" She tries to keep a smile, "Shower's open...!"

Ever do I wish we could have a bit where Yumi is teaming up with a young Ryoko.

I can tell a young Raido would probably be asking if he can keep Yumi and send Ryoko back to the future in her place. In that half joking manner siblings have of course.
 
[X] "Thanks Kohaku. We were just talking about Mithras. Oh, speaking of," turn back to Grandma, "there was also a demon named Anahita there that claimed to know mom. She said she was weakened from crossing over and went with Shoji."
-[X] Check your phone to see if Shoji has replied, before going to wash yourself off.

Vergil is put into a Pretty Cure season. How long until the original story of that season is lost and the plot becomes "stop Vergil"?

857: Hitting The Shower
[X] "I wish it was Kohaku Time all the time."

"Oh, Kohaku!" You wave her over, "We were just talking about Mithras! Oh, speaking of, there was this other demon named Anahita who said she--?"

"Knew your mother, yes?" Grandma nods slowly, "She was one of your mother's demons once upon a time. When she... Passed, Raido collected and dismissed her demons, sending them back to their realm. Although he couldn't find-- Oh, forget it. Anahita isn't a liar."

"...Okay, good!" Kohaku sighs a breath of relief, "Now I don't feel as worried about Shoji...!"

(INT ROLL: 12+9)

Some of her energy has returned, but she still doesn't seem to be in tip top shape. You'll talk to her after you wash up.

"Alright, I'm hitting the showers, I'll be out quick!" You wave, heading for the bathroom. You round the corner, and...

"Yumi Konishi." Kyubey sits in front of the door, "I see that this little "cult" as you called them is dealt with?"

You step over him, "We'll talk later. I'm gonna clean up."

"Very well." Kyubey remains seated in front of the bathroom as you close the door.

You shake your head as you check to see if Shoji replied yet...

(1) Shoji: ok omw

...Well, Shoji's never been one for text conversation. It can't really be helped, you suppose.

After getting ready, you step into the shower. It might be a good idea to start planning the rest of your day...
