vatheon | It's a nice day for a walk, isn't it?

Who: Amane and YOU!
Where: Volo Dorm, and then the path forwards the forest.
When: Today, day time.
Style: Action, baby
Status: Open

[Ever since Silver gave her Shae, Amane is trying trying her best to take care of the Eevee. She learned how to take care of her, as well as what to feed her and how to train the small Pokemon. The priestess isn’t interested in battling, but she knows it’s necessary to know how to defend oneself. As well as being healthy and fit.

So whenever she can, Amane would take Shae out for a walk towards the forest. There’s plenty of room for running around there, and the Eevee can explore to her heart’s content.

Shae is running ahead of her, waiting for Amane at the dorm’s doors so they can leave. Once Amane opened the doors, the two of them start walking. Or rather, Shae running ahead from time to time, and Amane keeping up with her energetic Eevee.

Will you encounter these two, Vatheon? And at where?]

(OOC: As a reminder, if your characters can sense it, Amane is a host to both a demon and an angel. It might tingle their supernatural senses.)

[he frowns a bit at the mention of Silver's name. While he hadn't seen him at all since he arrived here again, the last times he was here, he and Silver hadn't really gotten along well at all.]

So he's still here, too, then.

Can you switch them in the middle of a battle, out of curiosity?

[She's not surprised by that, if she knows it. Amane would have prefer for them to get along a little better.]

Yes, he's still here. [A fact she's glad for, if she can indulge her selfish desires.]

As long I'm not being attacked, I can switch them. [Because if she's down, that means no more demons coming out.]

[so long as she's not being attacked? Well, there's one main difference. Pokemon could be switched around outside of battle, sure, but switching them in and out could really only happen during.]

Looks like we found another difference, then. Trainers switch Pokemon in and out during battle all the time, if they feel the need to. Type advantages and disadvantages can entice a Trainer to switch to a more favorable match-up.

Mainly because, from what I know, Pokemon trainers aren't targeted as often as demon tamers.

[If the demon tamer's under attack (or knocked out), they can't bring out new demons to fight with.]

But demons do have resistances and different skills, similiar to Pokemon types. A smart tamer should know how to match their team and to cover up their weaknesses.

Well, it also sounds like we aren't targeted in the same way. Generally, Trainers aren't attacked during battle.

[weaknesses and resistances are something familiar, though, he knows all about that.]

That's the same with Pokemon. You can cover for your own type weaknesses with attacks that affect the type strong against it. Can you do that with demons?

[Which is one point for Trainers. Being attacked by spells or claws (or talons, beaks, fangs...) aren't fun at all.]

Yes. We usually cover up their weaknesses with skills. [Aw yeah, fusion and its inherent potential for gamebreaking.] I can help them by providing support in battle.

[no, the idea of getting attacked by a Tyranitar or something is just not a pleasant one.]

How do you support them? Is it how a Trainer would by directing them, or do you do other things, too?

We give orders like a Trainer, but we also directly participate in battles as well. I normally support them with supportive magic, but I can fight.

[Which generally makes her a high priority target, because being an enemy healer in an Atlus game? Yeah.]

[well, supportive magic was kind of similar to potions and healing items. Not all that different. Participating in battle is different, though. That just sound dangerous.]

You fight them? How can you hold up against demons? Normally I'd think they would be able to take down a human without any problem.

My COMP have a feature to allow me to fight demons on...reasonably equal ground. [Somewhat. Some battles are still tough for her ~~like losing her own boss fight~~.] It strengthens my power and weakens their attacks, so I can fend for myself enough.

[She still need her demons to cover for her.]

[huh well. That was interesting. He never would have thought something like that was possible, since he's likening it to someone being able to fight a Dragonite or something on equal terms.]

And does everyone have one of those where you're from?

[To be fair, that comparison isn't that far off.]

No. Only those in the Shomonkai are supposed to have them, but people have been leaking our COMPs to civilians.

[The leak's too fast for Naoya's handiwork, so there might be others.]

[and okay he's a bit lost with that again. The last part he gets, but the first? Not so much. ~~and because I forgot to mention it before: amane's boss battle was kadhgljsf fucking ridiculous. Where I ragequit when I first played.~~]

Sorry, but, the Shomonkai?

[~~if you mean her naoya's route boss battle then yes ahsjdsakd her fucking magic and demons~~]

Ah, sorry. The Shomonkai is a religious cult I'm in.

[~~Yes, oh my god. Fucking Jezebel and its bullshit. The stupid lava lake and its stupid distance attack shit.~~]

Huh. Don't know of many people that would outright refer to their religious group as a cult. But I guess if that's what it is, that's what it is.

[~~I forgot how I even survive and win those battles. Probably a lot of revive spam and dance spells.~~]

It's what we are.

[She usually use just "group" in the beginning, but...well, some things happened.]

Group or cult, just as long we can help people.

[~~I survived by level grinding beforehand, sob. And my friend that's amazing at DeSu laughed at me for it~~.]

Wanting to help people out doesn't really sound like any cult I know of. Usually you hear of cults that prioritize the spread of their beliefs instead of helping.

Helping others and spreading our beliefs...intersect.

[The Shomonkai gained a lot of followers, or people believing in their god, because of their actions. Saving people from demons and showing His Majesty Belberith's might be real, and lending aid (ahahahah...), swayed civilians over.]

We usually gain more followers whenever we save their lives.

[It's important to gather believers, but she feel bad for using people's faith.]

[well, that would make sense. He isn't too sure how groups like Team Plasma and all that get their members, but helping people would do it. At least (as far as he is aware) the Shomonkai don't sound as hypocritical as Plasma was. And helping save lives is defs a good thing, much, much better than stealing and using Pokemon when you preach otherwise.]

I can see that. People would probably be more inclined to join if they were saved by your group.

It's a nice day for a walk, isn't it?
