Pine Garden

[Amos-Die]

Haluth:

Now the she-claw was certain - this woman was going to attack Master! Haluth quickly checked her surroundings, making sure the other workers had their backs conveniently turned. Then she pounced on the unsuspecting woman...

A pair of clawed, scaly hands shot out from the pile of rags, one wrapping around the woman's face, the other around her stomach. Once her target was secured, the towering Haluth started to quickly drag her prey into a secluded space between Warehouse 16 and 17.


Horrigan:

With considerable effort to not just demolish the doorway, the supermutant Frank Horrigan squeezed through the opening. He quickly realized once outside that Haluth wasn't at her post...

Damn that creature.

Silana:

"Bulk, they sulk, and then they bu-WEH?!" Silana's own delusional soliloquy broke. How could she, one who was closest to humans in all physical aspects, tell that she was being stalked and preyed upon, after all? Her words were muffled, and she began to panic and writhe. Her hands clutched at the clawed hands, tugging against them, with her human strength, intending to pull and pry them off her face and break away. Delusion broke free to ingrained panic, as she started kicking and elbowing whatever grasped her, heedless of how there was a disparity of strength between her and her now-captor.

The box she carried long dropped and broke upon the ground, threatening her livelihood.

Her feet trailed on the ground, tractioning on the floor hard to bring about friction. She was not intending to make this easy on her captor, on the thing dragging her away. "Mrrrphhh!"

Rin Tohsaka

4:30 AM Nexus Time

Rin stumbled hesitantly down the street, taking large, halting steps as her head spun from the sheer amount of alcohol she'd consumed.

"Fucking shit. Why didn't he go after me. I HAVE NEEDS TOO YOU KNOW, DAMNIT!" She yelled out into the forgotten alleyway, kicking a can of trash. It went flying fifty feet, slamming into a fence with a massive dent in it.

"Fucking shit fuck."

[Elf]

Emiya

Emiya's scowl was enough to drive cut throats and pick pockets out of his path.  He had harassed, cajoled, and pleasantly asked many of the local bartenders looking for a teenage girl with purple hair pulled into twin tails dressed in a red coat.  He may have threatened one with blowing up their bar, but he was certain that they probably deserved it.

They maybe into human trafficking, which means I need to look into that after I find Rin, he thought as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Fucking shit. Why didn't he go after me. I HAVE NEEDS TOO YOU KNOW, DAMNIT!"

Then a trash can came flying past him only to slam into the fence beside him, making a huge dent into it.

Emiya jogged down the alley the trash can had come from only to see a familiar figure.  "Fucking shit fuck."

"You know, you use to have a more elegant way of speaking.  If Tsumiko starts talking like a gutter snipe, I'll know where she learned it from," he said.

And begin Rin versus Archer the sparring match round 1,003,657, he thought dryly.

Rin Tohsaka

Rin twisted around, staring at Archer in shock. She hadn't expected him to find her this fast, and she wasn't in the mood to talk, really, but here she was, on the spot!

"Yeah, and I used to have my own body too. What do you want? Are you done screwing my sister's ghost?"

[Aiden]

Erureviel

The elf pulled along Sage, rubbing the pregnant dragon's belly. "Fufu, she's the rightful ruler of these lands, and I've agreed to be her consort. I assure you, you'll be quite impressed with her magical prowess."

Eruraviel pushed open the door and the two walked through the threshold into the opulent insides, gistening with enough wealth to make a dragon hot and bothered.

"Now, let us see if she's done with the nightly ritual of sleep humans engage in."

Sage

The dragon let out a soft hum of approval as Eruraviel paid attention to her, but pouted in consideration at her words. "I suppose I shall have to take your word for it, for now.... oh." And then she saw all the wealth.

Sage's eyes flicked about, assessing the value and quantity of the interior of this confined human lair. She called upon the little nature she carried with her, that lived and breathed all around this place, and sought for magic below the mundane as well. "How could she not sleep upon all of this...?!"

[SINIB]

Eruraviel

"Humans don't do that. They sleep in comfortable beds. Wealthy humans have nicer, more ornate beds that they use to show off their wealth and status."

She gave Sage's leash a tug. "Come on, do you just want to gawk at the house, or do you want to meet her?"

Amanda's Mansion

Just then a clanking noise akin to metal hitting metal cut through the air and the entrance behind them sealed up, completely cutting the house off from the rest of the Nexus.

Barriers then flared up and blocked the entrance to every other room could see.

"Who goes there?"

A deep sounding voice demanded them answer but no one was there besides them, no....

One of the statues near the entrance that resembled a medieval knight, had seemingly come to life and was moving toward them.

Eruraviel

Eru crossed her arms and puffed her cheeks out into a pout. Her ears twitched a bit in annoyance at the fact that she wasn't whitelisted for the automated security!

"It's me! Eruraviel! What are you doing!"

The elf pointed at herself. "Take me to Amanda!"

[Elf]

Emiya

He sighed at that and said, "And I am going to help get you your own body back, Rin."

Emiya ran a hand through his white hair and shook his head.  "I didn't plan that with your sister tonight.  And I'm sorry it hurt you.  Am I sorry that I did?  No, but I wasn't out to hurt you."

Rin Tohsaka

Rin shuddered, pulling herself back. "Feh." She simply reacted, looking away from him.

"Right. And that's supposed to make me feel better?"

[Elf]

Emiya

"No, but getting drunk isn't going to help either.  Especially since that's not just your body.  It's not just Sakura's but it's Tsumiko's too, who's just a young girl confused by what you and Sakura bring to the table.  If you want to feel better go ahead and yell at me," Emiya said with a shrug.

"It wouldn't be the first time and it won't be the last in the scheme of things."

Rin Tohsaka

"Sakura Sakura Sakura, Tsumiko-" Rin stopped, shaking her head.

"I don't want to hear about that. Just let me drink my fill, I'm not hurting anyone, including my self."

[Elf]

Emiya

Emiya sighed, knowing Rin's feelings were very valid.

His broad shoulders slumped and he looked at her.

"Can I join you then?" he asked.

[SINIB]

Rin Tohsaka

"W-w-w-w-what are you talking about?"

Rin's face flushed red, averting her eyes a bit. "Well-what?"

She didn't understand why he wasn't reprimanding her.

[Elf]

Emiya

"I want to join you," Emiya said with a shrug.  "Give you someone to talk to that isn't a part of you.  And I don't want to leave you to drink alone.  That just makes things worse in the end, Rin."

He'd honestly been expecting a fight as well, but seeing her so miserable took the fight out of him.

She's a girl who needs saving, and she saved me so long ago.  At least I can do is try to help her, he thought.

He said, "A version of you saved me once, the least I can do is be your friend again."
