[Hijikata, of course, is on guard - if it's seriously Okita, he'll be beyond surprised! -, but the siren lying in wait has the advantage of being hidden in the seaweed. As such, the samurai finds a petrification spell coming at him from behind and barely manages to evade it, taking a hit in one of his tentacles. Cecealiae are slow compared to other types of merfolk!]
Playing dirty, are we, "Sougo"? But what else can I expect from you?
[The siren, of course, looks nothing like his workmate, though it's also a young man - one who, as it turns out, brought a friend. The second siren, hidden on the other side of Hijikata, likewise fires a sneaky spell at him just as he's readying a salve of underwater fireballs, and this time the attack hits him in the back. It's a pain status effect, so for a moment he flat-out gets the breath knocked out of him from the searing sensation running through his body.
What's that behind the sirens..? A creepy, skeletal monster of sorts? Why does he get to deal with all of this at once?!]
