=======================================================

Hello there, ZUN here. I hope you all enjoy this peculiar sort of Tag Team battle by the name of "Perfect Possession".

It appears that Perfect Possession, which seemed to be part of the Urban Legend incident, has turned into quite an incident itself. This time I was aiming to start out the story as a kind of fuzzy event, which keeps building up until a big explosion at the end. While the incident itself is quite simple, settling it may cause quite a bit of trouble. On top of that, nothing would make me more happy than if you can smile and think to yourself: "What's up with that ending?"

While picking a team with good affinity may be fine and all, why not make it even more interesting and enjoyable with a your own unique character pairs?

ZUN (I went to a classical concert with my son and my daughter, where even babies were allowed to go)

=======================================================

The Most Despicable and Disastrous Younger Twin Sister Joon Yorigami

Species: Pestilence god Ability: Causing consumption of financial assets

A god of pestilence who's strangely liked by people, but always brings misfortune to those around her and is resented in the end. Has a strong desire to dominate. Prideful. No self-control.

She takes hold of her targets with her fast talk, then makes them use up their money as if they're offering it of their own free will. As they lose their assets, their luck dwindles as well, and in the end, they're reduced to a husk of their former self.

Then, when there's no more money left to drain, it's said that she wanders off in search of another human. Since she possesses humans with money and brings unhappiness to them, she could in that sense be called a god who controls financial ruin.

This time around, she came up with "a plan where they'd be guaranteed not to lose," using her elder sister like a tool. She'd have her sister forcibly Perfect Possess their opponent, and steal all their luck in victory away from them.

The Most Despicable and Disastrous Elder Twin Sister Shion Yorigami

Species: Poverty god Ability: Capable of making people unlucky, including herself

A poverty god who reduces people's luck and makes them poor upon possessing them, who is thus hated by everyone. Abject and gloomy. Would rather let other people take care of things for her.

She herself will remain destitute no matter where she goes, so she doesn't try to put in any effort, and is apathetic.

Where does all of the lost wealth and good luck go? They're actually converted into debt and bad luck, respectively, and continually stored inside her body. As more and more is stored up, it'll explode at regular intervals; at this time, she turns into a super poverty god who scatters bad luck all around.

However, she's actually a sort of guardian god, who protects people from dramatic financial ruin by reducing their overall wealth. Although she's still hated in the end, of course...

This time around, in order to escape from poverty, she decided to possess her gaudy spendthrift of a younger sister. Her sister can't save up money either, though, so she remained poor as ever.
