We have a few new members. Acheron is a transplant from Lily, and Bombay a transplant from Weeds. If you remember Okami. . . Bombay is Okami, only he doesn't remember.
They're both adults, and for a while there, the number of adults on Thistle totally beat out the number of teenagers.
[makes a face, but it's playful]
We had another member for a while. Her name was Flora, but. . . I think she's gone home.
Yata also went home for a while, but he returned recently. Just a few days before you.
Otherwise, Odin, Tyr and I are still around. [a lopsided grin] And we found our flock's priest.
[you'll come to care about the new Thistles too and like it!!]
What can I say? It's my MO.
[priests were only just becoming a thing when they left so it's fine]
So every team has a priest, right? I guess the priests act as a middleman between flocks and demons. If a priest summons a demon, then the demon can be controlled. If a flock summons one, then we might accidentally trigger a ritual. As you've seen.
I don't think Thistle really cared to work with someone we didn't know, so we just recruited Red as our Priest. He gave us discounts at his shop.
[settling into the water a little more, eyes slipping shut]
One more bit of good news first.
. . . when we asked Red to be our priest, he sent us on a quest to the Golden Demon's ruined cave. There, the demon was revived, and we had to fight them a third time.
But they're gone for good now, because we turned them into a mask.
[lifting a hand to trace his cheeks, indicating his Joker mask]
[a little impulsively, he pulls his hand out of the water. he hasn't been keeping up with pruning it like he used to, so it's a little overgrown with tiny vines sprouting out where veins ought to be. There are more than a few flower buds which have closed up due to the heat.]
[he still stop picking once he notices that twinge, soothing the offended areas with a gentle brush of his thumb]
Clover, Bluebell, and Lily are heading up the actual infiltration. But I offered our heart-stealing powers to the pasture at large to help.
That was our latest quest for Tamamo. At the very end, we freed him from his contract with his demon supplier, and he gave everyone phones with the MetaNav app on them.

[there isn't any real bite to that statement, though. it's clear the thing he really cares about is that last part]
At any rate, I'm glad to hear the others are still around. I'm looking forward to seeing them again.
...So, what's this about a priest?
[was that a thing while he was here? I do not remember and therefore neither does he]

[no bite there, either]

We also gave him a new name. He’s Tamamo now, or Tammy, or Tam-chan.
no subject
...On that subject, how is my room?
no subject
Not officially, but he comes and goes as he pleases. As Tam-chan does.
And. . . [a pause, and he frowns]
Everything in your room was gone when I got back. But my stuff returned with me, so surely yours did, too.

Well.
I've only been giving you the good news so far.

Like a Persona.

You enslaved the thing? That's fantastic. I'm only sorry I missed it.
no subject
Well, if killing them didn't work, then what other choices did we have?
[plus, it was immensely satisfying]

I'm sure it'll come in handy when we infiltrate the Wolf King's heart.
no subject
I like the sound of that. How are things going on that front?

How wonderful for them.

[he knows what you're thinking]
It's not exactly the same as what we can do.
no subject
...I'm irritated.
But I'm sure it will be useful, so there's no point in complaining.
