I have the first part of such an awesome post already written, I just need the opportunity to use it. Will the PRT capes be getting involved with the circus? I expect that Praetor is going to have some means of subtly entering his unknown champion(s) or something like that. 

Alternatively, I would be happy to have Ifrit present his opinion on the unholy alliance of Alice and Replicant. Don't worry, he won't be rude, he is too nice for that.
