TEST 8.
FLOW. The feeling of pressure in here is immense. It's stronger than it was with Darkrai, something you can feel down to your core, something that you couldn't shake off even if you tried; there's nothing to do but power through it. Saturn, for his part, either isn't feeling it at all or is incapable of reacting in any sort of appropriate way even if he could; he simply continues to regard you from across the room, his words hanging heavy in the room. It's a far cry from his behavior during the first month you were here; he was civil then, willing to do you favors in exchange for the chance to talk to you. It's plain that he will be doing no such thing today; it may be difficult to know where to start, really. Especially when your Pokémon don't seem to be doing well - whatever's happening here, they seem reluctant, even unwilling, to fight anything in this room. Perhaps it's not surprising; the energy in the room is likely familiar to them, and it's the sort associated with someone deciding to take their spirit away last time it was angered. Whatever the reason, you're on your own for now; whatever happens is your choice, and yours alone. |

[Oh good, she's kind of ready and waiting for the orders to fucking go at this point. At the very least, she's quick to turn back to her partners to try to make sure they can still go for it. They're still definitely effected by what's in the room, but...]
Arion, Altena, Haar, Melady; be prepared, no matter which decision we take.
[She is more than prepared to throw down, but she's going to wait until the explicit order to do so. She just needs to ensure that people are protected should this go nastily.]

"god and everyone" is a little inaccurate because god is currently neither in the room nor yelling at him

while he's being yelled at by the demon and everyone.]

enjoy your yelling from the demon and everyone!!]
...I guess this is accidentally becoming a 2/2, whoops
Arion, dear, are you ready? I don't want you going into this if you aren't.
[Nervous as he may be, he's more than willing to put on a brave face for the trainer he adores. The small grunt and step into the fray is just the right indication, while the rest of the team steps back to more defensive positions.
Camilla looks to Saturn, smiling in a way that probably just makes Chelsea's assessment of her far more accurate.]
I suppose you said it yourself, that you knew what this would come to. But if we're putting out convictions on display, then I'll put mine out against what's left of yours without hesitation. As a soldier, I've always been prepared to fight and defend all that is mine as ruthlessly as possible; I imagine the scenario is no different for you. For that much, I suppose I can offer some semblance of respect.
