Yugi stares daggers at Ige and Mikoto but doesn’t dare blurt out her question.

"What's your stance on a trade..? You see, I wasn't supposed to be here anyways, so this was all just one big misunderstanding!" Ige awkwardly chuckled, clearly terrified for his life. "Ah! If you let me go, I'll throw in a little something extra! A whole year of miscellaneous coupons!"

It is at this time that the group can hear the sound of footsteps behind them. Someone has entered the room.
If anyone were to turn around, they would see a new visage. Someone clad in a white suit and shoes to match, along with a pair of white leather gauntlet gloves and a helmet with a strange symbol...There is a barn owl sitting peacefully on their shoulder.
They fold their arms and listen, presumably observing the room.

Mikoto nods, listening closely to the demon's words, despite hearing them once before.
"Thank you. I appreciate you answering that for me, even if it was not much more information than before." Then, they bow respectfully towards them.

The music teacher???"

"... Hey, what's with the getup you got on there?" Calvin asked the music teacher. "Never seen anything like this before..."

"A long story. We'll talk later." a minimally muffled voice resounds from the helmet before it points a gloved hand towards the demon. "Yugi, you're free to ask your question. Please do so if you have one."

"Erm." Mikoto coughs. "Perhaps we could talk about it now?"
"I think we should talk about it now."

"Jesus Christ! There you all are!" Interrupting at a very awkward time, Kenji came huffing and panting by. "There's been a HELL of a lot to take in here, so sorry I've been so behind!" He yelled with an irritable tone, his frustration that he'd pent up till now leaking through. "The world hates me, I swear. Putting me through hell both metaphorically and literally now. I mean, what even is this?! Is this real? First day on the new job and you're telling me I have to become a sorceror murderer to even survive?? This is worse than the than the time I worked in retail! And now my life is on the line and I don't know what I should even do! How are you all keeping so calm in a period like this?! And why is Daft Punk in here now?!" He added, suddenly noticing the new presence that was there this whole rant. "...Well, anyway. I guess I managed to uh. Summon a creature out of nowhere. Because we can do that now. Sure. And it's totally useless, by the way." He lifted up his arm, on which a small bat was resting. "Meet Bruce", he intonated drily. "I call him that because I want to bruise the shit out of him. I mean, I summon this little bastard, and what does he do? Starts flapping around before getting tired and immediately falling asleep on me! I've got a severe case of insomnia, so I can only assume this is some sick demonic joke being played on me here! Why can't I get something useful for a change, like that Hawk guy?" He complained.

“Oh! I was wondering why the school is in hell. Does it have some sort of soul itself?” Yugi asks the demon when she is permitted by the music teacher in the strange outfit.

Zofra finally moved their body, holding out one of their many arms. A cylinder of glowing, swirling, pink glyphs materialised above their hand. "This... is the Contract. It is... immutable. Ige Tsutomu. Your name is writ. There... are no trades." Point made, they lowered their arm again and the Contract vanished.
They then slowly addressed Yugi. "That... is not for... me, to know. Our Realm. Chaos. It is... inhos...pitable, to your frail... bodies. You require... shelter. We learned this. Many Games past."

“Many games!?” Yugi flops backward in a wild motion before her feet make her jump back up. “Who played in those?”
She then goes around doing her best investigation of the circle, looking for the items that Isadora left behind.

"Humans. Spanning... back thous...ands of your years," Zofra replied.
Isadora's umbrella was still there, propped up against some miscellaneous items from the office. It seems the knife she'd used had disappeared along with her body.

"... So we are not the first to play your game, nor will we be the last," Hawk surmised. "I also presume there's a 'penalty' if we try to fight either of you? Instant deafh, loss of privileges, being tossed into the wastes outside... What have you."

Yugi picks up the umbrella and looks to Faye, "Do you want this? I heard you talking to Isadora earlier..."
She then goes over to Kenji, "Hi Mr. Lopez! Sorry to hear about your first day of work! I was looking forward to school as well. I'm scared of what kind of creature I'll get too after seeing Su-ah's." She shudders. "A bat doesn't seem that bad but I guess it's daytime still so he needs to sleep."

"...Aardok... would welcome the... challenge," Zofra said, addressing Hawk. "We... have never needed a... penalty, as... you put it. We are... strong. You... are weak."
They largely ignored Ige's outburst.

At that, a muscle in Hawk's jaw jumped, as the man smiled.
"Then perhaps he should be wary. The weak know their weaknesses. I wonder if he does."
His hand gripped tightly around the worn and beaten sheath at his hip, before it relaxed.
"But I know my limits. Fighting you now would prove nothing, and there are more important things for me to focus my energy on."

Yugi picks up the umbrella and looks to Faye, "Do you want this? I heard you talking to Isadora earlier..." "Uh." Faye recoiled slightly upon being offered the dead girl's umbrella. "I'm not really planning on going for a walk through the chaos realm, thanks. You can keep it."

"Why don't you guys, you know, use your pets and kill that thing!" Ige said loudly for all to hear, pointing at the demon. "Go on, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines..!"

"A smart warrior knows when and where to pick his fights, Mr. Tsutomu," Hawk answered. "As it stands, it is neither the time nor the place. I will not stop any of you from fighting here, but know that it is not worth it."

"I don't know what I'll do with it either!" Yugi says cheerfully, giving Faye a thumbs up. "All I know is that maybe someday you could use it."
The girl in the striped sweater suddenly gets a shiver as the memory of Isadora's terrifying aura washes through her mind. "I guess it's not exactly pleasant to use..."
Yugi glances at the costumed Korrigan and Hawk, "Well, I am good to leave when you guys tell us to..."

"Why don't you guys, you know, use your pets and kill that thing!" Ige said loudly for all to hear, pointing at the demon. "Go on, I'll cheer you on from the sidelines..!" "Oh yeah! I never did try out that spell." Nico said. "I guess now's as good a time as any." "Cyfar-" He begins, but stops suddenly. "Crap, that's a mouthful. Almost bit my tongue..." " Cyfarwydd!" After casting the spell a small, square shaped slime appeared on the ground next to him. "Well, I guess that makes sense..." Nico said, perhaps a bit disappointed his familiar wasn't as cool as some of the others.

Hella stutters out of her terrified place in the back of the group as she is not brave enough to truly approach the one armed bird(?).

"... We're all gonna die here, aren't we..." Felix listlessly mumbled to himself.
Figuring now was as good a time as any -- hoping maybe his familiar could somehow turn the tables -- Felix cleared his throat, and for once, spoke up to say the spell.
"Cyfarwydd!"
A few moments passed by with nothing happening. Felix looked around, confused. Did he mess the spell up...?
Suddenly, he felt something land atop his head, and what sounded strangely familiar to a mischievous chuckle before turning to energetic gekkering.
"Ow!" he yelped as the creature jumped off of his head. Now in front of him, it sat down, looking quite proud of itself.
The small beast was a fox, with a bushy, white-tipped tail eagerly wagging back and forth. Its fluffy fur was equal parts orange and black, with white flecks here and there. Felix stared at it for a few moments, wide-eyed, before crouching down.
"Oh my god, y-you're so cute...!"

"Maybe if we all think, we can come up with a better idea!" Yugi says eagerly. "What... can we really do, though? All we can do is summon these little creatures, and they're cute, but- we're trapped here, the d-demons keeping us here are way too strong, there's... what way out could there be except... playing along?"

"Okay, well I guess I can play along too!" She raises her arm, "Cyfarwydd!"A squishy silkworm squiggles into existence with its little arms curling everywhere. Yugi shrieks with fear at the giant bug in front of her. It is kind of cute though. She's just being rude.
