The child is unresponsive. His soul may potentially be exiting his mouth cavity. Suzume hears a voice inside her head "Child, I'm disappointed. Weren't you the one to always defend people against bullies? Where is that strength?"

Miguel was startled when one of the floating hands just hit the kid and sent him sprawling to the ground. Okay, the good news was there was much less screaming now that the weird floating creature punched the snooze button on the kid hard. The bad news was they were surrounded by these weird-ass creatures.
Fuck. What to do... wait! He remembered something.
"Ciara. Check the small bag and see what the kid gave us before giving up the ghost, will you? We're most likely going to need it." He asked before looking over at the other girl. "Yo, the kid's not gonna answer you. Pay attention to the ghosts."

Suzume starts. That didn't seem to come from anyone present, unless these shadow beings were now messing with her head... not that that wouldn't fit. "And what am I supposed to do? This kid was actually ready for a fight and he's flattened." She says to the air, her voice returning to her slightly. She ignores Miguel for the moment, despite seeming to answer him.

Miguel hears a voice in his head Kukuku~ Well isn't this nostalgic? Once again, someone is nice enough to try and help you escape a sticky situation, and once again, they die for you X3. Jeez, are you always going to play the damsel in distress? The voice speaks back to Suzume You dare to doubt yourself? You dare to doubt my strength?! Call upon be girl! Unleash the power you've always had! Suzume will notice the bag shimmering brightly. Only suzume will be able to see this.

Between Miguel's suggestion and the voices urging, not to mention... that, she scrambles past the fallen kid, towards the bag and flips open the top to reveal its contents.

Miguel started and then furrowed his eyebrows, wondering where the fuck it came from. "Well mysterious voice, the plan is not to play that this time. Somehow. Who are you by the way and where the fuck are you talking from? And Suzume right? Who are you talking to...?" He asked as he looked over to her.

Miguel's thoughts Oh ho ho?~ Are we finally breaking the mold? Fighting stereotypes? You might just be interesting little Diablo. All right, I'll give you a chance. Call upon me then. Embrace your inner self As Suzume opens the bag, she finds a number of sturdy tarot cards illuminating a bright light. She can't quite explain why, but she suddenly feels as though if she happens to grab one, it would do something . . . interesting. Miguel sees the tarot cards as well, but once the voice in his head stops talking, he suddenly sees them start to illuminate, and experiences the same sensation of Suzume

"Call upon... My power?" Suzume reaches into the bag and grabs hold of a card to pull it out of the bag.

The card radiates brighter in Suzume's hand. Around her, time stands still, and everything seems de-saturated. The card's faces starts taking on the appearance of a fierce blue/white tiger embodied in blue flames. It seems to be speaking to her
"Of course child. I am thou, thou art I. Agree to make a contract with me, and unleash your inner strength"
An instinctive thought of breaking the card in her hand fills Suzume

Suzume briefly looks up, at the shadows encircling her and the kid. "Deal." She crushes the card in her hand.

"Stereotypes, huh? Since when have I ever- you know what? Nevermind. That's a good a suggestion as any. Might as well be honest with myself." With that comment, he walked over to Suzume and Ciara and picked up a card.

The card in Miguel's hand forms a light, and silences the world in the same fashion as Suzume, though instead of a blue fire tiger, his card hosts a bipedal black/red cheeky fox
"Kukuku!~ I am thou! Thou art I! Accept my contract human, and together we'll have a good deal of fun >:3"

Miguel's eyebrow rose when some awesome-looking cheeky fox appeared and then offered to have some fun while actually saying an emoji out loud. Precious.
"You got yourself a deal." He crushed the card in his hand.

Both Suzume and Miguel became enveloped in their own bright aura, Miguel in red, Suzume in Blue. The aura eventually became pillars of light that pierced into the sky, and totally weren't over the top at all. As the light passed away, the dust settled, the number rain lifted a bit, and both characters were revealed to have new outlandish clothes. Suzume was adorned in a linkin park inspired band uniform, while Miguel looked like a well toned superhero. Their respect card creatures were also now physically with them.
Byakko "Hello Child,I am Byakko. From this day forward, my strength is yours"
Zoroark "Kyahahahaha! Oh it's so great to finally get to stretch my legs! Ooh! Look at my tail! It's so cute and fluffy! You're really lucky to get a persona like me Wee Diablo ~ Oh where are my manners. I am Zoroark, and from this day forward, we are partners in crime! Don't disappoint me~"

Ciara bit down a scream when the creature appeared and attacked the boy. She quickly bit down on the back of her thumb, letting the pain serve as something to focus on.
"This is insane. How are we supposed to deal with this? I did NOT need this in my life right now!"
She forced herself to calm down again and pulled out her lighter and a cleanse tag. She lit it up and threw it at the creatures.
"Stay back!

The lighter seems to almost go in slow motion as panic starts ensuing into Ciara. Her senses are heightened. Her heartbeat seems so much louder. She feels each pulse of blood rush through her body. All seems to be horror. That is, until she hears a comforting voice You poor soul. You've just watched everything fall apart this whole time haven't you? Allow me to grant you a taste of my power The lighter stops right before making contact with the monster. It look, perplexed, at the floating object, which then radiates an ominous purple glow. lightly, it taps the monster in between the eyes. The monster seems intoxicated, and is incapable of floating in a straight line. Suddnly, the lighter lit itself, and the haunter became engulfed in a pitch black flame. It screeched in complete agony before evaporating into numbers, floating into the sky Well, that was a bit more dramatic than I expected, but that's to be expected from such a weak creature

Ciara dug her nails into the inside of her palm as she watched the creature burn.
"I... I don't want to feel helpless anymore!"

Seeing as people were not moving, Jericha had no choice but to go back, and try to forcibly drag everyone to safety. She pushed herself away from the bank entrance, and takes off full sprint back to the group. Unfortunately, by the time she gets there, she helplessly watches the strange boy get KO'd. She nearly stumbles as she reaches the group, but catches herself by putting her hands out. As she pulls herself up, a chill runs up her spine as they are now surrounded. Oh no.....Ooohhhh nooo....... She backs up as much as she can. The words, and ramblings of the others completely fly over Jericha's head. Except she does catch onto the word "bag." She turns around quickly and looks into the set bag. "Yeahyeah! Is there something like a weap-....huh? What are those?"

As Jericha opens the bag, two tarot cards go flying out. One gently floats in front of Ciara's face, while the other bolts straight in between Jericha's eyes. Both take on the forms of different creatures, one being a witch like ghost with a pleasant smile, the other being a streamlined superhero with intense eyes Ciara Of course not my dear, and do not worry, you never have to be again. I am thou, thou art I. Make the contract, and together, we will keep the ones we love safe. Jericha God Dammit I am SO not ok with this whole "Oh how scaaaaary! I can't handle a few loser monsters. I want my daddy, boohoo QnQ" Bullshit you got going on! God dammit girl you are a bone fide BADASS! REMEMBER?! You better get your shit together, I won't even consider you for a contract . . . That being said, if you were to need my help, I'd be happy to oblige

Ciara grabbed onto the card and pressed her thumbs against it hard until it broke.
She said nothing, trusting her actions to be clear enough.
