...... I forgot that's a real word. [Mar pulls out a tape labeled "Audrey 2" and plays it.]

Wow, [Mar replies in a deadpan. He's pretending to be upset, but it doesn't reach his face.] [Anyway, might as well do it now. Mar changes form to Mascotorn, a taller and messier form. It honestly looks like something out of a horror movie.]

The moon looks real pretty tonight...

There is. He's kinda torn, though. Wanna see? [Before Eros can answer, Mar pulls out a tape to transform into.]

"Oh, yeah." Speaking of "oh yeah" let's just pretend Mar changed back to human form a while ago. Anyway, he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a dog whistle that he blows on. Here comes the boy. Barkley is either a pomeranian or a Shiba inu, but Mar has no idea. He bounds over, yipping happily.

"Nah. Just sit tight and let me cast it." Mar puts a different cassette into his walkman and turns into a gaseous form that pours out of a margarita tumbler. He offers the martini glass on the tray to Eros. "Ready?"

An ice type bootleg of Djinn Entonic. Mar calls it Nitrogen because nitrogen changes from gas to liquid when cold.

[Mar doesn't hesitate further. The noodle creature is his new form. He is coiled around Eros like a snake trying to choke out prey, but his touch is gentle. Just restrictive enough to keep Eros in place.]

You won't be laughing when he suddenly looks like this.

Aleph from Cassette Beasts. Notably, he does NOT have any connection to Shin Megami Tensei 2.

⤴️ very beast in question. It's adorable, actually. A little hermit crab thing that uses a pylon as a shell. Brings back memories, being in this form. This was his starter.

⤴️ rather ridiculous looking creature. This fusion is rather unlike demon fusion. There are two souls in this creature. It knows every move that their base forms do. And it is towering high above Aleph, ready to kill. He will become a sinner to protect his people.

Gumthema, the fused form of a Gumbaal and a wind-bootleg Anathema. It has a little red bowtie under the static coursing through its body.

⤴️ such an awful title. Barkley obeys, once again covered in static and completely changed when he comes back into focus. "Fartacus" is horrifying. It's an awful chimera of monster parts, sewn and even bolted together. The moment it comes into view, it puffs out a gust of air and splits in half. ⤵️

⤴️ in a new form. No longer is he cute and fluffy, but a large, menacing wolf with bloodlust in its eyes. Barkley's assault is immediate, relentless, and unforgiving. With a howl, it strikes, unleashing a flurry of physical moves with no regard for anything in its path. ⤵️

"That makes one of us." ▶ 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬 Mar's body is immediately obscured by the static one would see on a screen, and when it clears, he is no longer human. A creature that would definitely qualify as a demon stands in his place, tall, mechanical, eyeless, like some kind of demonic... gumball machine. ⤵️

"Liar." Mar's finger hovers over the play button. "That does it." He whistles, and an adorable, fluffy, pomeranian doggy joins his side. This guy has a cassette player too? Weird as hell, and somehow fitting. ⤵️
