[And not fifteen minutes later was Vera knocking at Pen's door, barefoot, mud smeared on her face and tattered clothes. Her hair was a mess, and her legs were dotted with scrapes. Still, when Pen answers the door, all she can do is smile.]
He...came to the house, and tried to convince me to go with him to Mateus. Mateus had sent a minion with him, some little ball of ice, and when I wouldn't go...it attacked me. And he tried to help it.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he pulled a bow on me.
I don't know. Probably some shit about me forcing Mateus into servitude.
He didn't shoot at me. And Gilgamesh terrified him off, but yeah. There you have it.
I'm not saying this to slander the guy, or to get him arrested. I don't think the police would buy demonic pacts as a motive anyway. But you should be aware, that's why he's not welcome here anymore.
Why would I call the police when I can kick his ass myself?
[Huff.]
Well, whatever. Until that thing is dealt with, anyone who comes to the house is gonna have to deal with me before they can even think about talking to you.
[And Vera's just going to crouch down to give the little Berry a scratch on the back of his head. She'd pick you up, but she doesn't want you to get dirty.]
Alright, good. I'll help keep an eye out until we find a way to take this thing out.
Look, a demon is trying to kill you right now. Forgive me for being antsy about that.
[Still, she'll pop off to the shower to wash up and clean some of her cuts. About fifteen minutes later, she returns wearing the clothes Pen had left out for her. Thankfully the two were fairly close to the same size. The perks of having short friends.]

I'm officially sick of your magic rocks, Pen.
no subject
Well the good news is it isn't from a magic rock.
It's something else.
no subject
[Still, she'll follow Pen's lead and step inside, careful not to get mud on anything as she does.]
no subject
[Sighing, Pen holds out a warm towel so Vera can wipe mud off.]
Other me also had summoned monsters called Espers. Yahri come from auracite. And Espers are some sort of demon.
no subject
Demons now, great. You really do breed trouble, don't you?
no subject
[She conjures it.]
Apparently, other me fought these things. And then bound them as thralls.
I remembered some of it the other day.
no subject
[Now that her body is more or less free of mud, she casts off her shredded jacket and wraps it in the towel to keep it from dripping on anything.]
So the other you made that thing her bitch, and now he's getting back at you?
no subject
You can put your coat in the hamper. I'll run the wash in a few.
[But oh, there's a question in there.]
Something like that. Other me beat it in combat. I haven't, so the thing isn't fully bound to me yet. Once I beat it, I'll be able to command it.
It ran from me when I summoned it. It tried to fight and I summoned Gilgamesh, and it ran.
no subject
Sounds like we need a way to keep it from running away.
no subject
It's already sent people to try and being me to it.
no subject
And people actually did it? What kind of assholes would try to bring a girl to a monster like that?
no subject
[Pen pauses, thinking of how much to say. Howard she'll leave out of this. He's done nothing wrong.]
Do you know Minato Arisato?
no subject
no subject
I don't know what he was thinking, but he pulled a bow on me.
no subject
[Vera's hands clench into fists.]

no subject
[Guess who's taken up a position by the door?]
Don't worry. I'm not letting anyone else come by if they are in any way affiliated with Retrospec. Except Orihime.
no subject
Alright, good. I'll help keep an eye out until we find a way to take this thing out.
no subject
Good. I'm going to go get you some clothes too. You may wanna hit the shower.
no subject
That... might not be the worst idea. Are you okay to watch the door for a few minutes while I clean up?
no subject
Again, Tons and Gilgamesh. You're good. Go shower.
