Staring up at the card with confusion that transformed into awe, Azami watched as it burst into red wisps of energy and danced around her swiftly. The orbs would fly forward into her skin and though there was no discernible difference on the outside, the Tsurinai could feel that her Persona had grown even further than it had from that battle. While the process was indeed strange, all avenues to power were acceptable so long as the practical cost was reasonable, so the guard dog gratefully accepted her master's blessing.
With that seen through, she'd press forward and head toward the hostage.
The Main Line: Cadets that centralize on all that's needed for combat. They do not get any stat boosts, nor do they get any stat reductions, being on this part of the formation.
Regenerate 1 | Recovers 2% 7% of max HP on each user turn | Passive | Tier 1
Auto-Tarukaja Begin the battle with Tarukaja cast on yourself. | Passive | Tier 2
Relevant(?) Strengths/Weaknesses:
—Strength Name: Healthy —Description: Azami is not immortal by any means, but she's at peak healthiness for a member of her species. She's full of energy and in prime shape for dealing with the sort of combat situations her job's built around tackling. Due to her superb health, it's also likely she'll live longer than the average Shiba, although this isn't taking into account the risks involved with engaging demons in combat of course. Mechanically speaking, all this translates to moving at double speed in dungeons.

They can be heard and they will not be silenced. The halls the Cadets followed into lead towards another kind of gallery different from the last. Unlike them, this one was far spacious and more littered with numerous portraits of people. Each of their faces were contorted with a mixture of horrendous fear and excruciating pain as they individually were at the hands of an oppressor. But they weren't making the troubling noises filling the halls. In the center of it all, there was someone. He was stuck in what looked like a portrait and continued to struggle in vain. Only his torso was poking out while his legs below seemed to be stuck inside.
"Someone... Anybody... Please..."
Strips of flesh seemingly were ripped off from parts of his body, but rather they seemed to be pulled into the portrait with each single fiber one by one. The red on his white dress shirt gave a tell-tale sign of harm. The black holes, where his eyes used to be, seemed to be forever contorted into agony. When the team finally entered, he just couldn't see them as his hand was waving uselessly for something to cling to. Something to pull himself out of the portrait.
QAS Event:Initiated!
>Pull him out.
>Leave him be.

//"Gods, what the fuck..?!"//
Shiina instinctively covered her mouth when she entered the room. The concept of death and gore wasn't a new thing to her, but this... this was entirely too much. A sudden feeling of nausea and vertigo assaulted Shiina and as her eyes went wide and her legs gave out she just felt the sudden presence of her Persona pulling her back by the collar. After preventing her User from outright falling, Jinguu-Tennou eyed the situation passively, seeming neither disturbed nor particularly impressed by the display in front of her.
The Wild Card, however, could only barely hold back her vomit.
//"We... need to get him out of here. Maybe Princess Serenity can help him, but he isn't going to last if we don't pull him out. Right?"// She looked around the group for reassurance, but nonetheless found herself having to put on a brave face. Her breathing and heartbeat had accelerated considerably, but Shiina still needed to hide it. //"Call for Cecilia. We should have her be ready to heal him when we pull him out. I don't think that painting will let him go that easily... Athena, maybe your skill can help him stay calm throughout this? It's worth a shot I think."//
The Tsurinai took a few begrudging steps towards the deformed Jakob. She was fighting against her urges to flee from the situation, she was fighting against everything that told her to panic when she saw this kind of thing. It was unbecoming of a Tsurinai. Her cousins had all seen so much worse, she couldn't nor wouldn't allow herself to cower before this... It was so damn hard, though.
//"Jakob, can you hear me?"// Shiina spoke as calmly as she could bring herself to. //"We're Cadets from Class Zero, we're here to help. Please stay calm, we'll help you escape that canvas now."// After taking a deep breath, the Wild Card signaled towards Albrecht. From what she could gather, he was the physically strongest in the current group, so he'd be much more apt for this than any of them. Jinguu-Tennou, meanwhile, stood behind Shiina and prepared a wave of healing light to shower upon Jakob as soon as any serious damage to his body or soul was revealed. Just as well, a healing light appeared over Shiina's hands that would help to relieve him of some of the pain, hopefully...
Stocking up a Mediarama to use as soon as necessary.

That sight... truly disgusting, he has seen worse, so this were the dreaded Pysche Terrorist methods? If anything it proved to the Knight that the group was perverted and sick, just as terrible as the spawn of satan that tormented humanity. He did not express his disgust or discomfort, indeed, his expression was one of anger, that moment the Psyche Terrorists were marked as group that must be purged from the earth, no different from the demons.
"Worry not, Edymion citizen. We are here to help you!" Quickly, Albrecht began to aid the Wild Card to pull hte deformed man out. "How could a human do this to another? We have a greater enemy at the moment..."
"Perhaps humanity's greatest predator is itself..."

"Wha...? Shiina? No... Wait...!"
Even as Albrecht tried to pull, he was still stuck no matter how hard he gave himself to the task. But instead of pulling him out of the canvas, he only got him to scream even more with earnest and pain. Something was inside the canvas that continued to torment him with even more fervor. While Jacob tried to take himself out, he needed to do it without sudden movement in order to avoid as much pain as possible. The sudden howl filled the halls and they began to hear something coming in the distance. A sudden slosh of paint was thrown at the team's direction. But it was slow enough for the entire team to dodge out of the way and away from Jacob. Afterwards, something humongous slid swiftly near the afflicted painter.
Massive and huge, this demon brandished his wet paintbrush. From the next whip-like splash against the floor, a green blob began to rise from the ground with the obvious intent for harm. Jacob, however, was screaming once more as limbs of different kinds began to spill out or retract back from his canvas at their own intervals. There was something wrong with him as well, especially when a colorful mass spat out onto the floor to give rise to another demon.

This turn will begin with the assumption that the fighting party right now is Shiina, Athena, Albrecht, and Cecilia. Since you called her up in your post lol.

//"Disgusting... luring us in with a hostage is the lowest of the low. But what am I to expect from a Demon. Stay put, Jakob, we'll make sure you leave this unscathed..."//
It was time to get serious. Instead of taking the front of the charge like she had done previously, Shiina instead adopted a much more familiar stance, one that would allow her to act and react however she wanted according to what the situation demanded. It was time to demonstrate the true power of the Wild Card.

"Do you accept constructive criticism?
Passives:
Exposed Emotions: Every ally’s attack deal 10% more damage to enemies who are affected by a mental aliment, but only if Athena was the one who caused the enemy to have the affliction. This effect lasts for as long as the ailment lasts. The effect can also be reapplied with another ailment once the original one ends, and the type of ailment doesn’t matter as long as it is applied by the owner of this skill.
Right words for right minds: Mental Aliments are 10% stronger
Fancy: Mental Aliments cast by Athena last 1 more turn than normal
Selfish: Rank 5 or higher required before Athena can receive an attack for them
Fragile: Physical Persona Attacks deal 10% more damage to Athena
Impractical Defense: Debuff effects last 1 extra turn to Athena
Aliment Boost: 60% boost to all aliment attacks
Action:
Casting:Analysis | Used to detect an enemy's stats and weak points | 15 SP | Tier 2 Target: Jacob
Subject: Re: Art Gallery [Dungeon] Thu Aug 24, 2017 5:47 pm
"Did somebody call for a----"
Cecilia would fall silent in shock as she caught a glimpse of the victim's current state. All that bravado was wiped from her face in an instant and she recoiled in horror and disgust at the monstrous sight. This... this was what the Demon Painter was doing to the hostages? She could feel herself on the brink of tears and as the demon tormenting Jakob emerged the fury swelling up inside of her would burst outward in an anguished cry overflowing with every ounce of hatred that someone like her could muster.
Rearguard: The team at the backlines. In this formation, you'd usually want to put your support oriented members. Support skills (tactical skills, healing, buffs and debuffs) receive a 5% boost in terms of potency (if they refer to percents in how they work.) and your SP and Luck will be raised by 40%. However, in the Rearguard your attack stats will be lowered by 50%.
Media | Recovers a small amount of HP (20%) to allies. | 8 SP | Tier 1
40% HP recovery to all allies.
Passives:
Invigorate 1 | Recovers 3 SP on each user turn | Passive | Tier 1
Soul Skill Name: Dispatched in Mankind's Darkest Hour Persona Name: Svalinn Tier: Tier 1 Cost: Passive Type of Damage: N/A Description: If an ally's health drops below 25%, the effectiveness of Cecilia's healing and buff skills will increase by 10%. This boost will last for the next four turns and will be taken into account when she heals/buffs any member of the party (including herself). It does not stack on top of itself and can only be acquired once per battle.
Relevant(?) Strengths/Weaknesses:
—Strength Name: To Protect and Serve —Description: Though Cecilia may not be able to harm and damage her enemies, she can utilize her soulbound in other ways. If she guards her soulbound shield will increase her PEnd and MEnd by 20% for the turn.
—Weakness Name: Pacifistic —Description: Cecilia cannot and will not bring herself to harm a living being. The violence she witnessed during the Eternal Divide fucked with her developing mind to the point where the mere thought of hurting a living entity on any level or scale sickens her. As a result, she can never attack someone directly regardless of the circumstances. Her soulbound cannot be used to inflict damage, she doesn't get to carry a side-arm with her, her Persona can't use attack skills, she can't slap/punch/stab someone, etc. It doesn't matter if she's about to die or even if it means the downfall of the government -- she simply cannot bring herself to stain her hands with the blood of another. And while she does accept it as a necessary evil and will allow the rest of her party to kill, she will always advocate for a more peaceful route if her opinion is asked for -- especially when it's humans she's dealing with.
—Weakness Name: Prejudiced —Description: Cecilia will refuse to negotiate with Demons unless no one else in her party is willing and/or able to.
—Weakness Name: Sweet Tooth —Description: Cecilia has a love of sweets and will take her sweet time (no pun intended) enjoying the flavor. HP recovering items restore 5% less HP than they usually would.

Torturous Painter, Level 9:
Cruel Attack | Inflicts a moderate amount of Pierce damage to one enemy with even greater power (30% increase) if the target is knocked "Down". | 13% HP | Tier 2 -- 75 Pierce Damage to Shiina.
Soul Skill Name: Time Alter - Third Accel Persona Name: Jinguu-Tennou Tier: Tier 2 Cost: 6 SP Type of Damage: Buff Description: To activate this skill, all Shiina needs to mutter is "Accel" with the intent to cast it. Upon usage, her feet become much lighter, and her body and mind feel like everything around them is much slower than it really is. This is due to a speed boost that's enforced on her by the spell. Specifically, this raises her speed by 35% for a total of three turns afterwards, and also makes her able to walk double the spaces as normal in a dungeon for that duration. This skill can only be used on Shiina.
