of flesh and fantasy poll and discussion.

I would imagine it would need more than just "taking notice" of him for that, though....

a body guard for her investigations

Yeah, that definitely works. I mean, I can't imagine Zouken is going to just let her condemn him to death, and I also imagine he's quite powerful.

I'm starting to come to more of an idea about how this should go. Obviously, Rin will start looking into it, but I would imagine that, when she hears that Sakura has confessed that her confession was false and Rider believed that, she'll want to talk to Sakura and Rider. Also, if Nero is investigating it herself, it makes sense for her to work with Rin in that respect. So, most likely, once Sakura has been set free of the torture she'll visit her and talk to her to try to work out what happened (Sakura will still be trying to cover for Shinji, at least).

[lantzblades]

I can't see nero personally investigating it

when would they talk to sakura exactly?

[Cherry Lover]

I can't see nero personally investigating it

Well, no, I meant if she's assigned someone else to do so on her behalf.

when would they talk to sakura exactly?

Once she's been confined to the palace. It does depend on whether Rin or Archer can talk their way in, though....

true enough though I wouldn't see it being too hard

Well, no, I meant if she's assigned someone else to do so on her behalf.

she'd definitely send someone.

No, particularly if she points out that she's Sakura's big sister. I mean, at that point Nero is likely to feel quite bad about what happened, so she's likely to be willing to give Sakura quite a lot of leeway when it comes to anything that might help comfort her.

Well, no, I meant if she's assigned someone else to do so on her behalf.

Yeah, exactly. Then it makes sense for whoever she sent to discuss it with Rin and see what Rin has discovered.

[lantzblades]

Okay then, also elf you want to chime in about shirtless archer here?

[Elf]

That we need more shirtless Archer?

That's always a good thing.

[lantzblades]

Well more what they ought to be doing, by they I mean Rin and her man servant gladiator Archer the shirtless

[Elf]

Well since this is porn . . .

In the first season of Sparticus there was a scene where the higher class Romans were watching the Gladiators having sex with their slaves like porn.

Nero likes pretty things, and Rin and Archer are all about contrasts.  She might be interested in a private performance before joining in.

[lantzblades]

Neato, sounds good as a scene set up

[Elf]

Especially since Rin and Archer need a little bit of prodding to get over their repression.  Nero could help with that.

[lantzblades]

They do, who should toshi be with here then?

Well, this definitely does seem like a good idea, but I'm not sure how it would fit with what we've decided before. Rin isn't a slave, after all....

I guess it's possible Nero could ask for this in return for Rin being allowed in to see Sakura, though.

They do, who should toshi be with here then?

Hmm, well, would Sakura and Rider be possible? Presumably Toshi isn't going to hang around that long, so it would be better for him to pair up with someone who isn't going to be completely heartbroken when he disappears again, and having another partner will help with that.

Plus, Rider is going to need quite a bit of persuading to make her not feel completely shit about what she did, and to accept Sakura's forgiveness. And, of course, it gives Toshi an excuse to "punish" her....

[lantzblades]

fair enough

Hmm, well, would Sakura and Rider be possible?

I suppose they could.

of course, it gives Toshi an excuse to "punish" her....

er, what?

[Cherry Lover]

Hmm, so you think that would work, then?

Hmm, well, would Sakura and Rider be possible?

Well, I think it figures that he'd get involved in their situation.

of course, it gives Toshi an excuse to "punish" her....

er, what?

Well, BDSM, of course. Toshi's ability to create clones is brilliant for BDSM usage, plus he'd have Sakura to help him.

And, yes, it would be entirely consensual....
