Vivian sighed heavily as the battle finally ended. "What a pain. Gonna have to put in some more effort and try not to get our butts kicked." She said, grabbing her arm as she flexed it. She suddenly let go of her arm and gyrated her upper arm in pain. "Ow...that was very annoying. I'm getting used to being on the front lines whether I wanted to or not..." She walked towards Maria and made sure she wasn't as weak as before. The pain didn't seem to bother her on the outside anyway, in fact she was ready to hand Vivian a plethora of other supplies. She hadn't even used the strange bullets that Serenity gave Maria before. She did figure out that they were used for elements, but it didn't look like they would last very long. They were a quick tool to make but would only last for so long so the uses better count. She accepted them with a nod as she continued to follow Maria. She did turn to Serenity however as certain flags flew up in her head. The bullets were a financial opportunity! Dollar signs filled her eyes as she addressed the princess.

"These bullets though...is there a way for others to learn how to make them, or did you use a secret procedure? I'm interested in seeing how they work," she asked her. Knowing how the machinery worked was something she herself was fond of, and even if she only got a few pointers she would be more than happy to start from there. After all, you can't start out a genius right? Everything had to take practice. But still....the money...Regardless of their answer, she would follow Maria through the door. So far they were picking the right openings, and it appeared that this door was the right one if memory served what was on the sheet of paper. She was pretty confident that it would all turn out to work in her favor. However, they would eventually get to the source of all this madness. She wasn't sure still what the point of all this was. Was it just to get more forces for the terrorists, or upset the Cadets in some way? She honestly still couldn't think of a good explanation to do something as insane as this. But maybe that's the trick; you can only understand insane people by being insane yourself.

As they made their way to the door, the wooden barricade would fall through and the body of a masked Jester would hit the floor. They were still and had most likely been knocked out instantly. In the entrance of the door was a blonde woman with golden hues. Serenity's answer to Vivian's question would come later. She really wasn't in the mood to talk until the mission was complete, really. This wasn't a social event for her.

"Who are you?" The woman asked with piercing eyes like a demon before shifting to see Serenity and giving a soft smile. "Oh, Serenity. I apologize my domain looks like this. I'll surely deal with the issue, so don't worry yourself. My guard was down because Julius was here, and that little insect snuck in here. If he's the cause, then snuffing him out will get rid of this infestation. I'll kill him." The woman's eyes closed as she began to walk by the group and head towards the exit. Serenity looked towards the woman and politely bowed her head but didn't say much. The two were not as close as her relationship with her Brother. Maybe because the two had been battling over his attention for a number of years. Serenity could easily see what sort of woman she truly was, but Julius only really saw the good in people and that was his down fault. Her Brother was soft, if not foolish aswell. Could he not see the demon that was within that woman?

Just as they were about to arrive, the sudden explosion of splinters caused Maria to immediately aim the Demon Weapon at its entrance as if out of instinct. What lay before them was an unconscious insurgent of a Psyche Terrorist. She had wondered who was able to cause such damage. She answered with a piercing glare of a woman of blonde. Maria's spine jolted at the presence of her eyes, there was something demonic about it.

If there was anything that Maria knew, she was dangerous. Her instincts told her to avoid her. That wasn't happening, given her background.

But, to their luck, it was someone that Serenity knew. So it seemed that they would be able to avoid another fight as the woman started to walk past them. Maria glanced back at the retreating figure and then breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that in her current condition that there was absolutely no way the Cadet would be able to take her on. Even in her best condition, there was no way she could have. Certainly, she was glad that they wouldn't have to be fight each other. But... why did she seem demonic?

Nevertheless, it looks like they have another fight on their hands after all.

Vivian seeing the woman was certainly a new change of pace. It's not like she had much to say to her, and it certainly didn't look like she was going to stop for any reason. Whoever the insect she was referring to was, likely they might run into them soon as well. It's likely that Julius wherever he was, was likely near the source of what was going on here. As they let her leave, they would move in another direction altogether. Vivian did however turn to Serenity. She asked before something but maybe Serenity wasn't exactly in the mood, so instead she would turn to Maria. "Any idea who the woman was? I only just recently joined, so I haven't studied everyone here just yet." If she didn't know that was fine. She could ask Serenity again later once this was all over. Clearly it was not very jovial of a situation to where they could talk so casually. It only seemed to help Vivian though; staying lighthearted sort of kept it less frightening. Then again they were there to look for the princess' brother so naturally she would be very stressed out though she did not show it. Serenity must have been a mentally strong woman.

They went straight down the hallway and noticed another group of enemies. Would this all end? She could feel a power in her start to build however; she suspected after this fight she would be able to flex her psychological muscles even more so than usual. It did not however get her any closer to controlling her Persona. She pulled out a tiny pill from her coat and swallowed it whole. Djinn up to this point was yapping in her head, and she could feel her arms tickling at her neck like she wanted to strangle her. Soon the feeling would subside and she would go silent. Those pills really were something; she wondered what they were made from. She looked at her arms and noticed that they were a lot lankier than before. Did she just not notice them until now? She definitely had more meat on her bones than usual. Had she not been eating right? It was of course the side effect, drawing on the mass in her bones to keep the pills working, but of course, she was far weaker than she was before. Perhaps it was better she left her thieving life of crime, lest she get into deeper dangers now that her body was no longer up to the task.
