Sakura and Shirou

To their slight surprise, instead of making any attempt to excuse his actions, the chef responded to their question by transforming into his true form, a humanoid monster seemingly oozing the same magic which had formed the creatures which had attacked them earlier. Immediately, the two of them went on guard, Shirou summoning up his twin swords whilst Sakura prepared her shadow magic.

"Get back!" she shouted to Locke as the monster began to explain its plan.

However, before it could even finish, Nanako moved to grab the creature, slamming it into the ground in a suplex. Moving quickly, Sakura summoned up her shadow tendrils and bound the creature securely, Shirou standing by with his swords in case it was able to escape.

Eleanor

Eleanor let out a rather unladylike snort before beginning to guffaw. "No, not at all! The wellbeing of a child, whether they are loved, whether they are hated, those things don't matter at all. Their parents could cherish them or crush them underfoot. Regardless, that does not dictate a true birth."

Her voice took on an intoxicating quality, soothing enough that one might dream for millennia in peace with its truth. "The true birth is only formed through pain. Life may only be fashioned through the wound of the mother. Everything else is inessential."

Suerte

Blessed by divine fire?  I wonder if thats similar to my blessing by the goddess of luck?

The thought didn't last long, not with Lily rubbing up on Nero like that.  "Hey!  Don't ignore me!" she yelled grabbing Lily by her hips and trying to yank her off.  "And get off of her!"

She glared at the blond.  "What are you waiting for?  Tell her to get off you bimbo!"

"Hrum, Calm yourself, lass! Do not order an empress lightly!"

It had been a while since she had to exort her authority, but she was certain she had not lost her touch. No, of course she hadnt, she couldnt have.

Family

"Agh!" the creature yelled as it was slammed on the ground.  As the head made contact with the floor, it splattered into a gooy substance, before reforming as Sakura's tentacles held it in place on the ground.

"Goddamn it. You guys are a lot stronger than he predicted."

Locke's eyes narrowed.  "Well that clenches it," he said, folding his arms.  "That is one of the shaman's minions.  This guys body is crafted from magic and contains the soul of an evil spirit.  It doesn't look like this one is especially powerful though."

Valantine

Valantine stood on the deck of the house, leaning over the railways.  "No update....  That clenches it..."

The young woman opened the door and stepped into the comfortable darkness of her home.  Hopefully this assassin would be able to entertain her a bit before she sent someone else to check on Victor.

Zekey

"Pfffffwahahahahahah! I've never heard that one. And who exactly decides something like that?"He guffawed in a way that completely threatened with his dark appearance. Amusing, what an interesting philosophy. But it was wrong, at least to his principles. He shook his head and rested his face on his hand, smiling at her like an old friend.

"You're thinking it too much like a mother. Then again, I suppose you are a woman. Of course it isn't a true birth when you put it that way. But that is only a principle ruled by humans and beasts without any refinement whatsoever. A law fit for cattle, surely, but there are many beings out there that don't abide by that. What about them? Are they and their kin not real?" He asked her, genuinely interested in what she'd answer.

Suerte

Suerte let go of Lily, folding her arms and pouting, "Hmmph!  Fine, if you want heat so bad, i'll make this so hot you'll need the entire arctic to cool down!"

The cowgirl pressed her chest up against the blond, making a nice Lily sandwich.  Her face grew a bit red as she felt Lily's head being squished in her chest.  She wondered if she was suffocating in there.  That would be so hot....

Of course, she wasn't just doing this for fun.  No, revenge was a far more appealing pleasure right now.  She began greedily sucking whatever natural luck the gods had granted them and taking it for herself.  It was a shame that last time she did this it was under more dangerous circumstances.  This was always so exciting!

Nanako

Nanako's eyes widened as the thing continued to talkreleqsing the creature and turning over to slam it again, only to find Sakura was holding it down with tentacles. Frowning at the purplehead briefly, Nanako mounted the creature before letting loose with a barrage of punches as Locke went on.

"Great, so how do I get rid of this?" she shot back amid the punches, "And whatever you are, you to learn how to cut a promo."

[Cherry Lover]

Sakura and Shirou

"Hang on, Nanako!" Sakura shouted as she watched the impatient squirrel girl continue to beat up the helpless creature. "We might be able to get some information from it."

"Yeah, Sakura is right", Shirou said, nodding in agreement. "I don't know if it'll tell us anything, but I think we should at least try. We need to find where the Shaman is."

Then, Sakura, still restraining the creature with her tentacles, turned to address Locke.

"What do you think? Have you seen one of these things before? Is there any way we can use it to get information about the Shaman?" she said.

[yinsukin]

Locke

The creature scrambled on the ground, trying to break free from the shadows.  Unfortunately, its efforts were in vein.  The magic was too strong for this spirit as Locke predicted.

Locke shook his head.  "Other body guards have captured these guys in the past, but they weren't mages like you," he said with a sigh.  "But if you have spells that work on the soul, or perhaps some sort of contract.  Honestly, despite our wealth, the Shaman has managed to get past our defenses every time.  Its getting to the point where the count has grown disillusioned with keeping up magical defenses.  I'm genuinely surprised he is willing to rely on you two."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Eleanor

She brushed away the notion with a wave of her hand. "It isn't something merely applied to humans or creatures of the flesh. This stretches up beyond the heavens, the firmament which guides all things. Acts of creation are born through agony. All creatures come into this world and leave a scar in their passing. Whether it is something that can be noticed is a different matter."

[Panda]

Nanako

The squirrel girl's punch stopped an inch short as she looked up at Sakura with a frown.

"Fine, but if it breaks out I'm punching it," she said, getting off the creature and calling up her punchgaunts, cracking her knuckles as they appeared on her arms.

[YOLF]

Othinus

As if on cue a great hawk holding a spear descended, shifting in one smooth movement into the shape of a woman. A cloak covered her rather exposed form and she leaned on the spear heavily, but her eyes met Edelgard's with strength. "Is your kind so prone to ungratefulness, Forsaken?" Her voice was soft yet the hall itself shook forcefully. Even the lightest tone she made rattled bones and made one's hair stand on end.

Othinus approached slowly. Every step displayed an almost pained weakness, as if she could not support herself without her weapon. But she was not ashamed of such a thing. Soon enough she stood before the warrior and the throne. "For your crimes you were granted a cruel mercy. The cursed seeds you planted bore bitter fruit, and you were made to subsist off of them. But perhaps the corruption was more of mind than body. A petty, feuding, and self destructive people some may call you. That it was your nature before your magic was twisted." Her gaze met Edelgard's with almost palpable force.

"I am Othinus. I brought you to my halls to rest. Otherwise you would be still lying unconscious amidst the battlefield."

Edelgard

Edelgard watched the figure appear, and change shape as if a messenger from another world, and only relaxed the hands around her spear to better grip the weapon. But she was not prepared for those words, and before that, she was not prepared for the force of the woman's stare.

"How do you know? My people?" The warrior asked. Her frown deepened, but the wary persistence in it wavered just as her words settled, and she shook her head. Before she opened her lips again, the tip of Edelgard's polearm clinked against the floor and she came down to one knee, even through a knot of tension.

"No. Apologies, I am Edelgard, of the Forsaken."

She raised hardened and cautious eyes at this Othinus. Her suspicions were aroused like a nascent fire, though a foreboding sense that the voice sounded truthful quenched them. Edelgard was little knowledgeable in the ways of courts, and even her spellcasting was subpar, but the mien of sovereignty which hung off the mystical woman was indisputable. She sounded entirely different from the crawling abomination that had provoked the Forsaken earlier.

"I am thankful," Edelgard continued. "But why?"

[Bern]

Neptune

"No down boy." She wrestled with the Dogoo, pushed it down to the ground, and trapping it like so with her body. "I'll help you out with that later okay." She stroked the sides of the blue jelly like creature affectionately before turning her wide purple eyes upwards to the Elf. "Oh, what did you come to my little shop for? I'm not really much of a creater hehehe..." Neptune said with a laugh, underselling her own skill.

[Bern]

Lily

Unfortunately for Suerte there wasn't much luck to be drained from her, she hadn't been a naturally lucky person even before breaking the chains of fate. And now....

"Mpfhhhhhh."

The moment the Elemental found her face stuffed in the chest of the Empress, she let o of her hold, pushed back and grabbed hold of the annoying interlooper who turned out to be the Cowgirl. With an annoyed snarl she grabbed hold of the Cowgirl and suplexed her headfirst into the street.

"If you wanna play dirty then be prepared for the consequences."
