"Well....I can see them too, but I can't move from this spot and, well, I'm not really good at fighting myself. I-I'm sorry I can't help much more."
Sachi sounds a little sheepish. Mio nods.
"I'll handle the one closer to us. Link, you can get the one closest to the door, right? Do him first. The rest of us will keep the others distracted, as I'm not sure that anyone apart from Sachi and Link can see them, and only he can attack them.

That sound like a good plan?"

Sachi ignores her as she places her thumb on the top knob. She closes her eyes, breathing in deeply, her face appearing as if in deep concentration before....
"Persona!"
She presses down hard on the knob.

The sound of glass breaking fills the area, and a rush of blue energy swirls around her, obscuring her from everyone's sight.

When the energy clears, Sachi is no longer alone. Floating just behind her and holding a parchment in front of her eyes is a tall, ethereal, armoured woman. Within her abdomen area, instead of exposed skin, a tiny, ever-moving loom is visible, threading golden string through itself constantly. Her face is obscured by a large, winged helmet, with the front replaced with a constantly ticking clock. Behind her, several golden threads float in the air, resembling that of cut puppet strings.

"Analysis activated."
Sachi uses Analysis on the creatures holding the lanterns to discern their intent or desires.
((SB, I'm assured you still have Sachi's sheet and thus know what Analysis does? ))

"Well, it's worth a shot, isn't it?"
Sachi pulls out her pocket watch.

"No, really. I-if you like, I could try to...um.....read them, to see what we need to do to get past them."

"I have a bad feeling about this....can you explain?"

"Are you certain we're close to where we need to be heading?"
Sachi tilts her head.
"Huh? Where ARE we going, anyway?"

Mio examines their surroundings.

Sachi follows behind Periw, and Mio behind Link.
