[A Nozuchi tries to get the jump on him, and he responds with a Holy Dance in its face, leaving the demon motionless in seconds.]

She looks confused when she turns the last corner, and finds herself looking at a familiar, but very out of place face.]
"What are you doing here?"

[He shrugs, and then his eyes narrow a fraction.]
I think there's a demon behind you.
[Holy shit what is that thing?]

Argilla acts fast when she sees it, putting herself between the newcomer and the Solid, and narrows her eyes. A spark seems to be rolling off the thing's back and arcing towards her, and Argilla grits her teeth to keep from grunting or crying out when it hits her. Her muscles buzz and ache as the current runs through them, but in another moment that pain gets replaced with a different type; instead, her arms are twitching because they're forcing themselves apart, unfolding into whips.]
"Leave it to me."
[She has time to get out before talking becomes hard. Prithivi throws herself forward then, slamming into the demon hard enough to make the ground shake.]

Oh. And there's demonic-looking creatures rushing at him from all sides.
Ryoji is doing his best to run from them, but they just keep coming. He quickly finds himself cornered by a large group of weird creatures, with no means of escape.
So he does the only thing he can immediately think of.
Scream for help.

Her body also blackens and shifts as she runs, and when she bursts into the swarm of demons, it's as Prithivi.
Hello Ryoji; meet the mammary dentata coming to your rescue. Somehow, getting eaten might look like a more pleasing option.]

With teeth.
Forgive him for just...standing there like a derp while you slaughter demons.*

There's several fresh craters in the ground before the Baphomets are reduced to wet, feathered stains on the walls and streets. Prithivi starts to turn back to where Ryoji is, when a tiger-striped paw catches her across the back.
It makes a sharp, grinding noise, much like nails on a chalkboard as the claws slide over her armor. It doesn't do a lot of damage...But still hurts plenty where it hits skin, and the force behind the blow sends her sliding to the side.]

Minato was living.
These... demons? He did a double take when he recognized a few as some of the Personas that he's fused in the past, but this?
Instinctively, he reached out for his Evoker, while all the same hearing quite well the voice whispering back in his head, 'this is another's dream. Will it even work?' Still, if that was the case, then his best bet was to find the source of the one to whom this entire world, some sort of warehouse/base building where demons kill and eat demons, belongs to-
And there she... was?
Yes, that was definitely her. He recalls, from her previous nightmare. Focusing briefly to equip Messiah anyway even when he's yet to chance to summon him (the wilder demons seem to be ignoring him for now, which is good), he carefully made his way up to her.]
...Argilla-san?
((OOC: Ffffff- this IS Argilla's dream. Are you fine with if the demons just ignore him (maybe because of endgame P3 spoilers), or do you think that they may recoil ( ... )

[BANG.
That's all he gets in response at first, followed by a the sound of a bullet casing hitting the floor. Argilla is already digging through her pockets for another clip, and it's only when she slides it into place that she realizes someone was calling her name.
There isn't anything lunging for her throat just now, so she turns around to look.]
"You...?"
[She's plainly confused when she sees Minato in a place where he shouldn't be, and stares. She blinks some of the rainwater out of her eyes, but that doesn't change what she sees.]
"How-" [She's about to ask how he got here, but a nearby growl cuts her off.]
"You shouldn't be here!"

[...Ugh, this looked worse than he could've imagined. Tartarus? Felt like a stroll in the park compared to this. Is that her world?...
EITHER WAY. He was seasoned in battle enough to know that he was distracting her, regardless of whether he was currently under any danger or not. And as it stand? He should at least be able to fend for himself, because dream or not, the last thing he would want to be is a burden to her already fighting and conflicting mind.
Hand still out of sight but clutching tightly his Evoker, he quickly took a sweep of the area before rolling over to her side. Under an unfamiliar setting, it's always best to stick close to those you know.]
...Probably not, but I'm willing to ask questions later- [He replied, naturally sounding more pressured than usual, and there--Some sort of beast that he might have recognized if he took the time to look at it in the face, which he did not. Battle instinct finally won over logic under the sudden adrenaline rush provided by ( ... )

She catches a glimpse of what has to be another demon, pale and white...Which seems to flicker away the moment she sees it, leaving just Minato behind.]
"Not dead yet."
[She says in response. This really isn't a situation where 'alright' is an option; that will only be available when there aren't things trying to kill them. She also notes the gun.]
"Looks like you can fight; that's good. We should try to get to a place with more breathing room."
