There's gotta be a MASSIVE catch to that agreement.

I kind of wonder what this "permission to intrude" exactly entails. It has got to be where the loophole is. I don't think it gives Vonney the ability to control Evyle.

If we can't ask a Norbert that means that we are free to speculate.
My theory is that Norbert is having hard time with a kitty and this page is a helpful reference of how to solve his particular problem.

These two worry me on every level

My guess: After being posessed, Evyles Mind/Spirit secretly escapes to the cat while V. dies. Everybody wants to be a cat. Additionally, this comic simply needs more talking cats (and monster pigs) ;)

A sound plan.
Not sure which one of them will win but everyone else loses.

Tell Norbert that I said hi (IDK who Norbert even is, I just love telling people to tell complete strangers that I said hi)

Wait a sec, didn't she hint earlier in the comic that this wasn't her real name? I would imagine offering a false name would break the aspect of the contract Vonesperda is hoping for, would it not? This would effectively leave Vonesperda with no connections to any espers whatsoever.
Wishful thinking, I'm sure, but you can't be a burkian agent of chaos without screwing with someone's mind at least once.

What dirt does Norbert have on you, Neo? Blink twice if you need help.

Well Vone, if you take this deal your arrogance clearly outweigh your common sense.

@someone
No, she didn't. She told Burk she intentionally changed her name to Evyle, that's all, and nothing we've been told in the story so far hints at "true names" or other magical trickery that makes her new name not be her real one.

I think either Evyle has something that prevents Vonesperda from taking control of her, effectively tricking her into loosing all power, or Evyle is going to somehow sacrifice herself to take V with her to the grave.
I guess this will be something completely different then :-)

@Deliverance
You're disagreeing with me and then backing up the exact statement I made. Everything else you're saying has nothing to do with that and is my own speculation, which can not be right or wrong.

Evyle already stated in panel 3 what the catch is -- "The real fight isn't the one we'll have out here". She's betting that she can beat Vonesperda after possession (and, if Vonesperda accepts, presumably its because it's betting the other way).

@someone. I'd be willing to bet that at least a few heroes sugned the original contracts with their hero names. I'm guessing the "I, [insert name here]..." leaves little doubt about who "I" is for the purposes of the verbal contract. I don't think whatever the plan is would work if giving a fake name or just changing your name invalidateed the contract unless the spirit was really dim, which we know Vonsperde is not. Especially since Vonsperde knows that Evyle is not her original name. Im pretty sure as long as it clear who the participating parties are, im guessing the contract is good. That's my thoughts at least. I'm guessing she is expecting to be strong enough to over power and suppress Vonny once inside.
