You awaken to complete darkness. You’re lucky to cling to consciousness right now. You can breathe, so you’re no longer a floating soul, at least. Your spirit feels utterly destroyed after that partial exorcism. Your body feels unfamiliar to you and strange. The ground beneath you is solid and cold, and occasionally shakes. Booming voices echo around you.

You examine your newly donned form with your - hands..? You're on all-fours. You feel another limb on your backside - a tail, definitely. You feel large ears and fur coating you. If you had to hazard a guess, a rat or a mouse. This is not a fitting vessel for a demon lord.

Turning around, you catch sight of a strip of light in the distance. Occasionally, shadows pass by the strip accompanied by human speech.

Scurrying forward, you peer into the strip of light. You recognize this hall. It’s on the bottom floor of the school - you seem to be located under a desk outside one of the classes. Students occasionally pass by, leaving after-school tutors or clubs. You remain hidden, but try to move a chair you catch sight of across the hall. The chair releases the faintest of a squeak with some great concentration. When splitting your soul from your body, you’ve found your psychic powers diluted, but the partial exorcism seems to have really done some immense damage to your abilities.

You take a breath. Better to not be a rat, right..? Concentrating, you find that you at least have the energy left to use SPIRIT REND pretty handily. You float up from the tiny, pest body and locate a passing boy. Twisting toward him, you attempt to enter him, and - the boy simply shivers suddenly, re-adjusting his coat and you’re forced out, diving back into the rat. Although you have enough energy to separate your soul from your body, you don’t have enough power to overwipe a conscience so long as they don’t want to be.

Preparing for a second try, you pause as you hear a familiar voice. You retreat deeper into the darkness under the desk, but you catch sight of Akira, Katsu, and YOUR body walking together, heading for the exit. Akira and Katsu seem to be looking suspiciously at the walls and floors, one of Akira’s arms wrapped around your side and Katsu carrying a jug of salt with him.

“-n’t f-fully exorcise it. He’s probably waiting to try something..” Your impostor whimpers, keeping her arms close to her chest. “You should keep an eye out. Be wary, mortals.”

You attempt to step forward to bite your body’s ankles, but they disappear down the hall - already exiting the school. You are not, in fact, the giant rat that makes all of the rules, but you do have some trouble that you’ve gotten yourself into.

Scurrying from your hiding spot, you manage to do some COOL STEALTH STUFF like from Metal Gear Solid to duck from hiding spot to hiding spot, making your way down the hall very gradually. You manage to avoid passing students pretty successfully - luckily, a majority have already left - and end up crawling underneath the exit door of the school.

Luckily enough, you catch sight of a stray cat a little ways outside, standing by the outer fence of the sports field. It’s at kind of a distance, but you can see it clearly. Looks to be a little more solid of a host than a rat, at least. And it kind of looks like you!

She did have a breakdown that one time... But pretty quickly recovered, and after first moment of weakness sent Akira away and more or less behaved like nothing happened afterward. Imposter Morgan seems to be bent on behaving like this for a long...er periods of time tho.

It is an inconsistency, but rationalizing away this is a bit too easy for it to be the silver bullet that convinces our friends that something is fishy.

Taking a breath, you SPIRIT REND from your rat host yet again, saying goodbye to that gross-ass body, and float toward the cat at high speeds. As you approach, the cat suddenly perks up, alerted by your presence as it turns to you and hisses. You enter the cat - only for the cat to force you right back out, your soul tumbling backwards. The stray shoots you a look of disdain before padding away and out of sight.

You return to your gross-ass rat body. Shit.

>What do you do?

>>3669776
Hah, of course, the ghost did the typical body.snatcher mistake. They saw into our mind they saw who we really are (in this mortal form) and they behave accordingly. Th problem is we do our best not to act like ourselves most of the time, then we're not really stressed. Our friends are going to realize that... eventually.

The only problem is that we'll get eaten by a cat before that happens.

You chase after the kitty, squeaking as loudly as possible. You WILL NOT be trapped in the body of this gross-ass rat. You are a demon lord and this does NOT befit you. Catching sight of it a little down the road from the school, lapping at it’s paw, you take a deep breath, concentrate, and SPIRIT REND yet again.

Your soul is ejected from your host, you fly to the cat, and-.. it sees you yet again, hissing as you’re rejected from it’s cat body. This time, however - it notices you return to your rat body. The cat slowly begins to step forward, a look that you DO NOT LIKE in its eyes as it begins to pad toward you.

As the cat prepares to pounce, you take a breath and concentrate one last time. Ejecting from your gross-ass rat body for the last time, your SPIRIT REND brings you to the cat - and you find yourself vacuumed inside of it. This time, the cat doesn’t reject you. You POSSESS FUCKING CAT.

You find your new form is far more lithe and agile than the rat, as well as the fact that you feel certifiably less disgusting as a cat. You feel out your new form - you have claws, which you’ve always kind of wished you had in your human form. Your old rat host flees from you, but demon lords are above catching and killing rats.

It most likely expects us to try to get our body back during the night, when it is separated from Katsu and Akira.

But Katsu and Akira are not only people we need to worry about. Considering these faggot ghosts are actually employing numbers and tactics now, I feel that we'll probably walk straight into an ambush if we are not careful.

You immediately begin padding home. You at least want to OBSERVE the impostor - naturally, being careful, of course. You should determine what they want and if they’re doing anything dangerous. You also stop to get a few pats from passerby because this is one of the few actual times you’ll ever be able to get them. You briefly consider remaining a cat.. but gradually decide against it.

Coming to your house, you wriggle your way up to a nice window within your living room and manage to squirm into a nice sitting position. Although cats may be natural acrobats, you are still a clumsy chuuni. You spot your impostor in the living room sitting at the couch, Akira standing in front of her with her arms folded. Akira must be doubting that fake! It makes sense. She’s your most loyal servant, after all. You also spot Cerberus cuddling up to your body. You doubt he’s a traitor; he’s just stupid and friendly.

“-watch together a few days ago?” Akira asks, staring frankly at your body.
“End of Evangelion. You said you wanted to watch it because you had a connection to it.” She responds quickly and easily.
“And my favorite girl is..?”
“Asuka.”
“And we first talked in-..”
“The bathroom. That’s when you became my loyal servant!” Your body enthusiastically responds. “Come onnn. You know it’s me. You really think a demon lord such as myself would end up possessed by some trifling spirit..? I can even provide you with information beyond that! You can fact check it yourself! I like pancakes with chocolate chips mixed in. My dad’s favorite game used to be Runescape. My cup size is-”
“Shut up.” Akira seems to think on it for a moment before shrugging. “Well-.. If you were possessed, it’d take longer for you to get a hold of the host’s memories. Sorry. You were just acting weirder than normal.” She playfully slugs YOUR shoulder. “Are you going through, like, that time of the month? That makes girls act weird, right?”

You continue SMUSHING your cat face against the window. You are NOT going through that time of the month! Your servant is BETRAYING you!

>>3670068

>>3670094

Wait until Akira leaves our house and idk pop out of the cat or something and tell her it's us once we're a safe distance away. Tell her the spirit got access to all our memories when we were fighting it and that's how it can respond so quickly.

>>3670068
>“And we first talked in-..”
>“The bathroom.
Technically incorrect. The first time she revealed he was a spirit was in the bathroom.

>>3670094
It's not even your slip-up because Akira clearly asks Victoria what her/his favorite girl is, and Akira likes Asuka.

>>3670103
Yeah. I mean, he knows how possession works anyways.

Also what’s interesting is how much of Akira is Akira and how much is Ryuko. The imposter seems to be almost acting out our true self, and I’m wondering if that’s gonna affect his psyche slowly.

You sit there, staring at the pair and squishing your face against the window as much as possible while the impostor uses YOUR mouth.
“You should be careful though, minion. The spirit in that girl was tricky. It tries to use big, long, dumb words to convince you about certain things. He’s a particularly good actor, too.” Your body nods at the girl. “If you listen, he’ll probably try to take your body and force me to save YOU. He preys primarily on those of.. lesser intellects.”
“You should be the one looking out, then. Not me.” Akira scoffs. “I’ll phone up Katsu and tell him, though. Do you think it’s safe for me to go home, or is that like, a no-no? Can he get me while I’m sleeping?”
“I’ve weakened him enough that I don’t believe he can enter a human host so long as you’re unwilling. But it’s for the best that you stay with m-..” The window glass fucking squeaks as you press yourself against it. You really wish your dad had replaced the windows.

Her head turns to face you as her eyes narrow.

You meow, licking your paw and staring at your body with UTTER CONTEMPT. You know. Because you’re a cat. You then slam your ass against the window.

“Huh? You see it?” Akira frowns, catching sight of your body staring at you.
“No. Just a feline. I’ll get it.” Your body sighs, standing up from the couch and moving over to the window. She has to put both her feet on a nearby chair to be able to reach the curtain by the window. As she does, she leans in, lowering her voice as your body stares you in the eyes for the first time, face-to-face.
“It’s okay. I won’t hurt anyone and I won’t do anything bad with your body.” The spirit whispers to you, leaning in. “I-I kind of like your life. Goodbye.”

Your hijacked body then closes the curtains, preventing you from seeing anything more.

Unrelated, but we also might be capable of possessing small children - young adults, teenagers and etc seems to be out of our league, but small children just be possible, if hard.

Hopefully we can power up at the track a bit. If not, the next likely way to recover would be eating a ghost, which would be pretty difficult right now. Not impossible, especially if we can find something as pathetic as paperbag ghost or set up salt traps/otherwise prepare the battlefield, but tricky.

>>3670281
Access to human interaction, for once. Possibility of actually talking to people would be really helpful.

Possessing a cat was not a HARD roll, so a young kid is probably within ability.

>>3670273

Then I guess do a dbz charge up for, like, demon energy.

>Spider spirit was dispersed much more recently. Maybe there is something left at school?

You return to the school - it’s about 7:00 PM, so Banshu High is pretty much abandoned at this point. The doors are locked, but you find an open that window that you manage to clumsily pad through, falling down and somehow not landing on all fours because you’re a pretty awful excuse for a cat.

Entering the classroom you fell in, you feel that you might be able to find some spectral energy here.

Check the girl. When's a better time to hide back in a body after your attackers think the body's in the right care?

>>3670302
Idk, I think we spent two last threads actually talking with people. I might be wrong tho.

Anyway, I am kind of wary of our clubhouse because Katsu might have done some basic legwork to ward the room against evil spirits, which would be unpleasant right now.

>Check out the clubroom for energy from the dreamer you exorcised.

You pad up the stairs to the clubroom. The dark halls of the school seem much creepier while small - you move hesitantly and quietly, the softness of your paws muffling your footsteps. You approach the clubroom quietly and gently nudge the door open with your nose. Salt no longer litters the floor. Seems like the janitor cleaned up well. Like the dreaming girl that left, however, there’s a lack of spiritual energy anywhere here. Seems like the energy from the specter was entirely concentrated from within the girl, and thus, didn’t explode out like the dog.

There is, however, someone waiting for you.

Good thinking! when/if we get our body back we need to invest time and money into getting some decent warding!

Once we weaken it somewhat, we can attempt exorcism.

Alternatively, we can attempt to run to spider’s classroom and soak energy as we intended but... nobody said there is no second ghost waiting for us there.

Pity I was wrong about Katsu warding the clubroom tho. Double pity I didn’t point out that we are more likely to be ambushed at the clubroom more than anywhere else in school. That was really dumb of me.

>>3670323
I suppose this should've been expected, considering we'd failed to fully exorcise Puppets too. We are a pretty shit exorcist, huh.

Maybe we should ate the tiny ghost spider first, before fighting the evil haunted marshmallow.

“Y-y’know. Like, nya~..” You meow. You paw playfully at the haunted marshmallow. It begins to lurch at you at an alarmingly quick pace. You quickly raise your paw to exorcise it, your form nigh perfect as you do!.. but red sparks fly from your hand, landing on the ghost like sparkles. It seems irritated, if anything. It seems your dearth of power without a connection to your physical body is preventing you from exorcising a ghost of that caliber.

You instead turn on your paws and fucking SPRINT from the giant melty marshmallow as it dashes toward you, it’s gaping mouth open. You can feel an almost vacuum-like sucking from behind, seemingly pulling you in. You could head to the kitchen for salt, but you can’t imagine the salt would actually do anything, considering it hasn’t been blessed.

>What do you do?

>>3670383
Of fucking course it won’t be exorcised

>>3670383
Welp.

Idk desu. Head to spider’s classroom and hope we can power up quickly enough? Possibly attempt to break contact before that?

We are cat. Must fight like cat.

>Psycho dash, neko edition!

You push your cat body to it’s limits - using PSYCHO DASH within this feline form to push yourself past those limits. You speed across the linoleum tiling, nearly tripping several times as you narrowly avoid the gaping maw of the marshmallow behind you. You scurry down the stairs and find yourself the open classroom that you managed to get in through, clawing your way up to the window and leaping from it.

By the time you’re done, you’re thoroughly roughed up from your sloppiness in escape and it STINGS, but you got out. Behind you, you catch sight of the ghost in the window gaping at you before slowly sinking back into the ground, presumably to return to rolling about the school. It seems to be intent on not letting you in there right now. These ghosts are pretty organized.

You are currently outside the school. It’s 8:00 PM. You know the ghosts have a post set up to guard the school from your access, presumably to prevent you from getting to your friends or accumulating any psychic energy.

>needful lending

You decide to head to the last place you’re aware is safe from your impostor’s influence: Needful Lending. You pad over, thoroughly exhausted, hungry, and bruised. This cat’s body is like, super messed up. You might need another host soon. You approach the dirty little thrift shop and slowly and gently open the door, nudging it open with the brunt of your body.

The area is familiarly drab and quiet. No one’s actually shopping, as per usual. The girl at the counter notices you entering and perks up, the first time you’ve ever actually seen her so energetically perk up. “Cat.” She whispers in an awe-filled voice. “Caaaaaat. Hi, cat.” This is far warmer reception than one you’ve ever gotten in your human form.

You mew, completely wooing the clerk girl as you walk to the center of the store front floor and begin to claw in the word help. Initially admonishing you with a “bad kitty,” Sunderland pauses as she watches you finish out clawing the word HELP into the tiled floor. She stares at you blankly underneath the mask.

“.. Body hijack? And somehow you didn’t get put to sleep.” She stares at you. You nod your cat head. “And who are you, exactly?”

You place your paws up by your ears, sticking out your claws to mimic demon horns.

“Oh. That girl.” Her tone noticeably changes when she realizes you aren’t an actual cat. “I was wondering why you didn’t come by for the dowsing rods. So. What do you want me to do about this?”

A way to power us up so we could take our body back would be really great. Maybe assistence with School Ghost? Maybe she could exorcise our old body? If she could help us to contact our friends that also could work out great.

IDK what she is realistically willing and able to do.

>>3670538

As much as we could reasonably ask from her right now. Anything else is probably too much.

>>3670572
Akira was already doubtful that "we" are "us". She's won't believe us outright, but we just need to get her to keep being distrustful, not let her guard down, and keep investigating.

>>3670586
And yes, this is true.

I do not think it would work, but asking is free. Mostly.

>>3670527

You begin to scratch a longer message into the floor tiling, but the shopkeeper frowns before grabbing a jar of salt and dumping it onto the ground in front of you. “I don’t want to have to pay for this.” She scowls.

After passing your message on in the salt, the girl seems to ponder for a LONG moment before sighing. “Okay, I guess. You’re, like, a paying customer, so the boss probably legally requires me to do this for you. But I’m not giving you anything to regain power. If I give it away for free, building’s gonna get mad at me” Sunderland shrugs. “But I’ll do the rest at home. It’s almost closing time. My apartment is just down the road, so don’t worry about me jumping you.”

As Sunderland begins to shut the lights off in the store and put things away, you hesitantly follow the clerk around.

She leads you up to an apartment complex just a short few minutes away, climbing up the stairs to a small door on the far end of it. Fiddling with her keys for a moment, Sunderland opens the door leading in and allows you in. The apartment is.. Small. An L-shaped open apartment with a single bathroom, sliding door, and balcony. Her mattress is on the ground. There’s not even a stove or a closet. She has a hot plate set up next to a pile of clothes. She places a bowl of milk next to you.

“Sorry for the mess. I’m not used to visitors.” She says, deadpanned as she moves over to her phone. She spends a short few minutes on the phone before turning back to you. “Akira didn’t pick up. The other one picked up and said he’s too smart to get tricked by spirits over the phone.”

She crouches down by you as you continue to lap up milk. “So, like, are you capable of, like.. human possession..? Are you just sticking in a cat body for fun?”

Just pick up some loose change, people drop small amount of money and don't bother picking it up pretty often.

You signal for something to write into, and in return, she fishes around in a nearby drawer and removes a jug of salt before pouring it onto the ground. Why does she have a jug of salt in a cabinet? You bend down to write into the salt.

[TOO WEAK. YOU LIVE LIKE THIS?] You claw into the salt. [GIVE MILK.]
“Oh, right. Yeah. Of course.” Sunderland grabs some milk from a mini fridge - she doesn’t actually have a full fridge - and pours some into your bowl. You lap at it as she pets your head.
“It’s, uh- it’s good that you can’t possess someone. I-I’ve actually always, uh- I thought it’d be cool to be possessed. You know. But I kind of put off most ghosts because they think I’m come off as “wanting to be possessed too much.” Y’know? So. It’s good that you can’t possess.” Looking up, you notice how she’s visibly flustered.

Oh, you see now. She’s a freak.

This feels kind of weird. But a human body would be way more convenient. You can see why she chose to work at an occultic thrift shop, though.

You write into the salt beneath you [MAYBE I CAN.] Sunderland’s eyes widen behind the mask. “O-oh..? Really? Ok. Maybe you can, like, try. Like, I’m totally willing. So you can go ahead and do that. I don’t even mind how long you take.”

Maybe it wasn’t the greatest idea to come to her apartment.

Taking a breath, you concentrate - and you use SPIRIT REND, freeing yourself of the cat’s four-legged body and escaping from your feline confines. You exist as a spirit now, floating freely and incapable of breath. Sunderland is in front of you. You feel a hint of regret before floating into Sunderland’s body - unlike most possessions, in which you’re essentially essentially sticking your hands through a thick, hazy muck of consciousness in order to access a body, you simply slide through like water.

You reawaken. It is currently 10:00 PM/ You can breathe again. You feel oddly sweaty. You’re staring at a cat - the body that you’ve just left, which is still lapping at the milk despite you no longer inhabiting it. You feel substantially more fit. You also feel much taller now. You’re almost on par with Akira!

You now have a human body, but at what cost?
