Sir Bonesington laughed heartily at that.

"You seem to be one of a kind sir. I'll look forward to meeting you again, maybe sharing a blunt sometime." He said with a wink, before turning to Valda and Luka. "Shall we go then, dear companions? To adventure!"
[13:38:37] Helligator: Depends on the god, but gods by definition in Nasuverse are strong because they have divine authority.
[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

Valda was not much impressed with such casual displays of necromancy. She was actually much more interested in whatever mystical processes allowed the skeletal being to ingest food and partake of recreational drugs and somehow attain satisfaction in such a manner. That was a much greater mystery to be concerned about.

It may have shown on her face for a moment, or perhaps in the way her head tilted to the side quizzically.

"I believe we shall."

Kiyoshi listened as Rin spoke up.

"Kiyoshi calm down", she said, "they just fainted and Archer is going through the stage one process of his condition, it's called silent outrage. He's not moved to stage two yet so he's still prone to snapping on about it. Don't go off and make his condition worse by drawing attention to it."

Condition? Kiyoshi thought, slightly confused.

Hmm, wait, he does feel a bit like mummy, and he looks like my swords. Is he corrupted, like Ryoko-nee was, and Satoshi still is?

Then, Rin continued.

"you two boys hurry up and find a place to lay down those two and it would be best to do so separately if this is any indication. And everyone out of the kitchen, we seriously don't have the room for how much I'm bringing in. And let the kid keep her money, I'm paying."

Kiyoshi nodded. As soon as he'd finished his conversation with the dark Archer, he would do as she asked and take Connor and Taiga out of the room.

Rin finished speaking, and then the dark Archer lend forward, smirking.

"So you're her kid then?  If I was able to, I'd pity you.  Your mother has a darkness to her, kid.  I know because she put it in me", he said.

Kiyoshi scowled. Whilst he could understand the man's feelings - being corrupted by All the Evils of the World couldn't be fun - he still found it very upsetting to hear his mother, who he loved more than anything and practically idolised, spoken about in such a negative manner.

"You'd pity me? Really?

I couldn't wish for a kinder, more loving, more protective mother. I know her magic is connected to Angra Mainyu, she spent most of her life learning to control that connection and I can still feel the curse when she does magic or when I travel in her shadow dimension. And, I know she has regrets about the past, although I don't for a second believe she willingly harmed anyone who didn't thoroughly deserve it. But, I also know she would never ever harm me, or any of the rest of her family."

Kiyoshi didn't know exactly what had happened in the Grail War, but he did know Angra Mainyu had been involved, and that he had been connected to his mother somehow. So, between Archer's words and those of the elder Rin, he had a fairly good idea what might have happened to this Archer.

Another alternate father..., he reminded himself. And, seemingly, another one that hadn't turned out so great....

"Look, I understand you being upset about being corrupted, but I'm sure mummy never intentionally harmed you. She'd never do that, especially not to you, dad. Mummy would walk through hell for you...", he said, still clearly upset at the attitude being shown towards his mother.

Before Archer could reply, though, Rin collapsed in a heap and, before her head even hit the floor, Archer had grabbed hold of her. Lancer did the same with Ryoko.

Kiyoshi listened to Lancer and Archer talking.

"What, can't recognize your own daughter?" asked Lancer.

As he heard that, Kiyoshi had a bright idea.

"Hey, Ryoko, couldn't that guy who took the taint out of you get it out of Archer too?" he said, excitedly, forgetting that she was in no state to reply.

Whilst the darkened Archer had irritated him, he was still his father, and Kiyoshi did have some sympathy for him. If he could find a way to help he would take it.

Then, suddenly, a crow came flying in through the window, before turning into a human just in time to smash into the table.

"Jack, you know you really shouldn't be here", said Lancer.

"Fuck you on that one, the bitch is the truly uninvited guest here. I've got news. Probably bad", the man said in reply. "...I'm not sure what's going on so I'll make this quick. There's some woman smelling like blood and riding some crazy ass thing coming towards the place."

Does he mean Aunty Rider? thought Kiyoshi, excitedly. It has to be!

Before he could ask, though, the man turned to the elder Rin.

"Miss me Satan Bitch?" he said, baring his fangs.

At that, Kiyoshi tensed up once more, and resummoned his swords. Before he could say anything, though, the darkened Archer spoke up, clearly angry at his attitude towards Rin.

 "It would be 'Satan Bitch-sama', Apostle", Archer said, causing Kiyoshi to break into an amused smile. "And that woman on her way is just Rider.  She's not a threat unless you're a school girl with delicious blood, but I bet that's something you know about isn't it?" he continued.

With that, Kiyoshi's mood lifted.

Aunty Rider is coming back! he thought, practically jumping with joy.

But, still, the idiot had to be dealt with,

"Leave my Aunty Rin alone!" he said pointing his swords at the man once more. "Lancer told you to leave, and if you don't Aunty Rider will make you. She won't let you hurt me or my family."

However, the man seemed to ignore his comment.

 "No clue what you just said friend,  but I'm no Apostle. Whatever that is. Besides, schoolgirls aren't my type. I think I'll be having a talk with this Rider then...", he said.

"An Apostle is a vampire in our world. Aunty Rider isn't one, though, and she doesn't hurt people. Mummy wouldn't let her.

And, the only talk she'll be having with you after what you've done will be to kick you out of the house...", he said, angrily.

"Shit," Lancer said as the wet washcloth went flying towards him.  One arm had Ryoko and the other had Millie's tea, there wasn't any to catch the cloth.  Instinctively, he lunged forward and his mouth snapped open and shut.  His nose curled at the taste of wet cloth clinched between his teeth but he did it.  Craining his neck, he rested the cloth on Ryoko's forehead.

Archer chuckled and said, "Nice catch, exactly what you'd expect of a well trained hound."

Lancer glared at him, but pulled out a chair with his foot and gingerly placed Ryoko on it.  "She had a drink earlier.  She's something of a light weight . . ."

******

Archer shook his head as he kept Rin nestled into his arms.  He smoothed her hair back and said, "I think you got a bit of a shock, that's all."

He was the one use to seeing alternate versions of his friends, family, and himself.  There were records of him repeating the Holy Grail War, but finding them would be all but impossible.  Unless he had someone looking through with him.

Archer looked at the boy who was fiercely protecting his "Aunty Rin" against the Not-Dead Apostle.  "So, what happened?"

******

I don't know, maybe, Forest replied.  She tilted her head and asked, Did you know her, from before?

Rin nodded "this city isn't in a universe, it's beside or between them. As a result time isn't a solid concept. Rin is the equivalent of seasick since Ryoko is her future daughter. It will pass, I've been through it before."

she paused and smiled "As Archer and Kiyoshi said, Rider is no threat and Lancer is right, so hit the road jack."

Connor laughed as Lancer caught the cloth "ten points" he said.

"But what did I-" With a bit of effort, she maneuvered herself so she could see a little better. The girl who had a mixture of Archer's features and her own remained unconscious in a chair nearby, and the sight of her kick started Rin's memory.

With a sigh, she once again leaned back against her lover. "Great, another daughter," she muttered. "But... I didn't react like this the last time, nor did..." She looked up at Archer, her eyes wide. "You... you don't think that she's our real..."

***
Tom nodded. I did, but not for very long, admittedly, only for a few days. I found her fighting a werewolf, and proceeded to quote on quote rescue her.

He chuckled. She wasn't particularly pleased about it, something about "kill stealing" her werewolf. But she did not look well, and I was curious about the nature of her abilities that she had displayed during battle, and thus I took her back to my temporary place of residence so she could rest. We spoke, long enough to become acquaintances at the very least, if nothing else.

His eyes left hers for a bit, his expression darkening. Perhaps that is why I was so hurt initially after I found out about her trickery. She was the closest thing I had to a friend in this world, and then the moment we meet again, she uses me. His eyes met hers again, a smile on his face. I can hardly complain, however. It did lead to one of the best nights of my life, after all, if not the best period. I simply wish Ryoko had arranged this in a less underhanded way.

Archer frowned as he looked at the girl still asleep in the chair then at Rin.

He said, "That's impossible though.  If she came back through time she would have created an alternate reality.  You should know that better than any of us, Rin.  She might be the daughter of an alternative version of us, but she can't be our daughter."

******

Forest smiled at the best nights of his life if not the best night.  She tilted her head and said, aloud, "Maybe she didn't really have a choice.  And there wasn't anyone else who could have helped at the time.  I was . . . well, pretty far gone."

Normally I'm . . . pretty distant from this sort of thing.  I don't let people in.  Also, I don't think Ryoko thought that things would escalate like they did.  Plus from what she saw I don't think she's going to want to get near you for a while.  I think you gave her some super spooky look.

Rin nodded "Normally you'd be right Archer but this isn't a universe, it's a waypoint, a nexus of sorts. That means there is no future or past in the typical sense. She is your daughter, trust me, this has happened before. As for not collapsing earlier. Sakura isn't your daughter time wise. Ryoko is the future or at least possible future of your time line."

Rin turned to Kiyoshi "you and Connor go to your room and take Taiga, I'm counting on you boys if this situation gets worse, please Kiyo" she said.

"O-of course I'd know that," Rin sputtered. "But..." Her gaze returned to the girl in the chair. "I don't know... Ugh, this sounds really stupid, but... I didn't feel the same sort of connection with... well, you-know-who that I do with this girl." She looked up at him again. "I think we need to talk with her when she wakes up, either way. Maybe my head's still a bit scrambled from passing out, but it doesn't hurt to confirm for ourselves."

"I suppose that could be true," Tom mused. "It was possible there was simply no one else she trusted. Certainly a bit of a strange way to show it..." He smiled a little. "Though it seems your condition has far improved. I suppose for that at least we can all be grateful."

I can understand that, all too well... It is quite possible that, under normal circumstances, it may have been quite some time before I had sexual relations of any kind. I tend to keep to myself, keeping others at arm's length. You... you're the first person to know this much about me in quite some time.

He closed his eyes, his features darkening again. And... if she did, I could hardly blame her. What I wanted to do to her.... It must have reflected in the look I gave her. I could hardly blame her if she never wished to speak to me again.

A possible future . . . Archer thought as Lancer doted on the sleeping girl in the chair.  Wait, that idiot is making eyes at my potential future daughter.

He nodded at both Rins' words and said, "This place is exceptionally odd.  However, knowing too much about one's future can change everything.  What if us talking to her prevents her from being born?  Or . . ."

She has already been conceived.  Ice filled Archer's veins at the thought.  While he enjoyed his corruption for the most part, he didn't want to infect Rin with it or any child of theirs.  His stomach clinched at the thought of his tainted seed already taking hold in Rin's womb.  He didn't think.  In fact, he purposely came inside of her because of some stupid possession thing. 

Lancer scowled and said, "When that tattooed bitch was here causing trouble, Ryoko had problems until Lawrence like sucked something from her."

******

Forest blushed at Tom's words and said, ". . . I don't know if I said this yet, but thank you.  For you know, everything."  She leaned forward and kissed his cheek.

Thank you for letting me in, Tom.  Honestly, I can say the same as well.  Hell, I was brooding in my office about being alone before everything happened.  Sometimes being alone is good, but others . . . Loneliness can be the worse thing there is.

She took his hand and said, Well give her some time. I'm sure she'll come around.  I don't want you to lose your not-quite friend.  Then she sheepishly looked down and added, Besides . . . if you ever want to do that to someone . . . you can always come to me.

Rin frowned. "'Tattooed bitch?' Wait, you don't mean Angra Manyu, do you?! How? And... if it affected Ryoko, that means..."

Suddenly, there was a groan, and the girl in question looked blearily at the occupants of the room, cradling the washcloth to her head, visibly confused. "What the hell happened? I ran down to give Lancer the pizza money, and-"

She looked around and Archer and Rin came into better focus. "...Mom? D-dad?"

***
Tom blushed in return. "I-it was nothing, really. I-I mean, it wasn't nothing, but I certainly didn't mind doing it in the end, and-" He found himself unable to finish his sentence, finding even more heat found its way to his cheeks.

I can understand that all too well. Though... I suppose I never realized how much I was missing out on until tonight. Not truly.

He found himself instinctively giving Forest's hand a soft squeeze as he replied to her other statement. I suppose all we can do is hope. But you are not to blame for that. That was my doing, and mine alone. Even if I wasn't in control of myself, I still have to account for my actions.

As she gave him her offer, he was silent for a moment. His cheeks lit on fire, and he found himself squeezing her hand again. Are... a-are you certain? I-I mean, of course, i-if you'd desire to make love again I... I-I mean... He looked away from her. As a vampire, I suppose I'd have far more difficulty hurting you, but... what I wanted to do to Ryoko in that moment was a bit... harsh. Nor am I certain that I would be comfortable doing such a thing to you, even with your consent. Are you certain that you are comfortable with that?

"D-dad?" Archer forced out, his dark eyes widening as he looked at Ryoko and then at Rin.

If it affected Ryoko then it means she was conceived with the taint of Angra Manyu, Archer thought before looking at Rin.

******

Forest lifted her free hand to idly toy with a lock of her tangled hair before reaching up to stroke his hair.  Her cheeks were pink as she replied, I mean . . . not right now.  I'm pretty much jelly at this point, but maybe in the future.  If this becomes anything.  I mean, you even match my decor.

She grinned at that and squeezed his hand while her fingers toyed with his white hair.  Well, what did you want to do then?  "Harsh" in your playbook might be "cuddling and vanilla" in mine.  Besides, after all you've been through, maybe you deserve a chance to cut loose.  You should be happy; it looks good on you.

Rin slowly turned to meet Archer's gaze. As lacking in telepathic ability as she was, she found for once she could read the Servant's thoughts. They matched her own perfectly.

A sigh from the chair made Rin's head snap back in Ryoko's direction, perhaps just a touch too quickly. "I guess I can't blame you guys for being shocked. I mean Mom's only... well, eighteen right now if I remember right, I can't blame her for being kinda freaked out. Well, I always figured I'd need to present proof if this ever happened..."

Ryoko cleared her throat before speaking. "My mother, Tohsaka Rin, was sent to the Nexus by the Association in pursuit of one Millie Garrison. She is sent with one Ruby, who in a moment of bitchiness, decides to drop her in midair only to be caught by Archer, Servant of one Kishinami Hakuno. So she, this version of Archer, and Lancer all go to this one alleyway where this big mess happens. And then after all that happens, Lancer over here sweeps Rin off her feet to take her back to Forest's Complex when they're stopped by..."

She paused to look at the still stunned Servant. "...My father, the presently Darkened Servant Archer, his Darkened state gifting him with a real body, and, well...  Naturally, the two are quite attracted to each other right off the bat, to Lancer's chagrin, and things start off swimmingly there when there's this whole big mess with a bunch of vampires, and Garrison ends up saving the day by setting most of them on fire."

Ryoko stopped to take a breath. "Everyone is exhausted after that and makes their way here. Then Mom and Dad have a really romantic evening which I'm glad to say that they failed to give me details on, but the way they look and talk to each other about it at home suggests it was a good night. Or something. I don't really wanna know the details of my parents' sex lives in any explicit detail. It also may or may not have been the night my dad's sperm and my mom's egg met to create, well... me."

Ryoko let out a sigh before looking at her parents again. "That all sound familiar?"

***
Tom's cheeks were still reddened as he nodded to her. O-of course. I naturally wouldn't ask that of you right now. B-but indeed, in the future, if you ever wanted me to... He chuckled a bit, although it was somewhat nervous. Well, after all, as you said, I do match your decor. It's not every day you can accessorize to that extent.

In spite of his nervousness, he couldn't help but sigh in contentment as her fingers toyed with his hair. However, his face remained serious. He was frowning, in fact, due to the subject matter. In that particular case, it's less of what I want to do and more the unpleasant combination of my most carnal desires and my anger. It would essentially be what I fear would happen if I lost control completely. I fear I could hurt you, or worse... even force myself on you, which is not what I wish at all. Even the most gentle of sexual liaisons I do not wish to partake in if it is done without the consent of my partner.

His features softened, however, as he considered her words. 
Quote from: Elf
You should be happy; it looks good on you.

My happiness? His eyes met hers. Honestly... I do not think I would have to let my inner predator entirely loose to be happy. Tonight was more than enough proof of that. Just having another night like tonight would be more than sufficient. Though perhaps...

He looked away from her for a moment. His eyes met hers again as he gently stroked her cheek, his hand shaking a little. Perhaps one thing my inner beast and I can agree on is that I should earn my right to be with you. S-so then...

He gave her hand another squeeze, his face practically glowing red. Well... I-I was perhaps wondering... If we could perhaps go on a date sometime? I mean, it wouldn't have to be anything elaborate of course, it could simply be a quiet night together in this apartment complex, but... Well, a chance to get to know each other better. O-of course, you're completely free to decline, if you so wish.

"An Apostle is a vampire in our world. Aunty Rider isn't one, though, and she doesn't hurt people. Mummy wouldn't let her.

And, the only talk she'll be having with you after what you've done will be to kick you out of the house...", he said, angrily.
I cocked an eyebrow at that. "Apparently she has a taste for schoolgirls, so she probably has hurt people, and will likely continue to do it. Maybe you don't realize shit kid but news flash - I'm not your enemy. And mummy ain't here kid. Besides, if there's even more types of vampires out there Deacon Frost will want to hear about them."

I simply ignored Satan Bitch's (her real name was apparently Rin, but like I was going to call her that.) lecture on the inbetween universes thing. Leave that shit to the Dragons to figure out all the little things about our home here. Instead, I focused on the unfolding drama before us. Apparently Ryoko's mother was knocked up here, at this time, by Archer. And her mother was Rin, but not the same Rin as Satan Bitch, and they apparently had another daughter that wasn't theirs. This was like one of Brianna's soap opera shows but in real life. Not that I ever watched one of them... OK, maybe a couple episodes when I'd needed a laugh.

"So can anyone give me a rundown on these Dead Apostle things? There aren't literally 13 of them running around with names like Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John right?"
