[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

Instead of letting go the construct pulled him closer until her face was nearly touching his own. "You lie. If that was the case there was plenty of time to look as I carried you here. Your cheeks also became tinted red for a moment before you got off me. I require further explanation for your actions and reactions."


Urthemiel

The mage tapped the statue as lightly as possible and it shattered into countless shards. Instead of insulting the Changeling for her foolishness or revealing her utter disdain for the nickname given to her she instead reached across the Veil and pulled a wisp through it. It wasn't even a spirit and most likely couldn't even feel pain, but as the orb of light slipped into existence in the palm of her hand and began to distort into a myriad of beautiful colors the Old God grew more relaxed as she relieved her stress by tearing it to pieces on a fundamental level. As it finally dispersed into almost nothing she turned her attention back to the two other people.

"Emily, I have very little understanding of your own circumstances but we didn't have breakfast too long ago and it was by no means a light one. And, Darcy, refrain from mangling my name. Even if we were more than acquaintances it is not something that was meant to be shortened. Anyways, if you both do desire to go somewhere warm I do have a small place for us to stay in. Darcy can show us his music and perhaps we all can do something ogethe afterwds." 

[Elf]

Forest

This guy is too hilarious, Forest thought to herself as Greyskull continued to yell.

He pounded his fist into his palm before proclaiming, “AHEM! YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I HAVE LAID EYES UPON IN A LONG TIME, THEREFORE, I HAVE DECIDED TO ELECT YOU PITY!! I SHALL SPARE YOU, HU- I MEAN FOREST!! WOULD YOU LIKE TO GUIDE ME TROUGH THESE FOREIGN LANDS AS A LOYAL FR- I MEAN S-SUBJECT!? I MEAN, I-IF IT’S OKAY WITH YOU! IT'S NOT LIKE YOU HAVE TO OR ANYTHING!!”

"I don't make a very good subject," Forest said, tilting her head with a little bit of a grin, "But I figure I can show you around once it's dark of course."


Rin

Rin emerged from the bathroom and said, "This is my sister's home.  Come on, don't tell me you've forgotten the inside of a childhood friend's home.  It's Sakura's and . . . Emiya-kun's."

There was a pang at that, a minor one, and she shoved it down.  "So no, Vanguard doesn't own this place.  He . . . she . . . is working for Sakura.  Kind of."


Corbin

"Ah, fuck love, you've got a talent at this," he said with a groan as he gripped the back of her head.  The urge to just start to thrust was overwhelming as he began to feel pressure starting to build at the base of his spine.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

"If she's working for her then we'll have to deal with it" he said as he marched down the hallway of the slightly familiar house. As he walked down it he had a feeling he'd reach the living room by heading in this direction, as he expected he was right. When they finally reached the room he saw the girl of his ire, lying on the couch seemingly reading a book.

[Elf]

Rin

"Yeah, I'm tired of Sakura's underlings oggling me," Rin grumbled to herself as she followed Archer.  "So, what are you going to do?"

[Thedoctor]

Archer

"So, what are you going to do?"

I'm going to do what it takes to protect you Rin" he said with a confident tone, he then asked her "So, are you going to question her?"

[SINIB]

Irisviel

"NO Saber, you don't need to hide it! It's nothing, let me help you out of poverty!" Irisviel exclaimed with extreme upset. "You don't need to suffer!"

[Elf]

Rin

Rin smiled at Archer's words about protecting her then frowned at questioning Vanguard. 

"Honestly, I should bypass him and go straight to Sakura," Rin said.


Saber

Saber frowned and said, "I am not impoverished.  I am what is considered 'middle class'.  I am thriving here in Nexus and I am not wanting for anything.  Lancelot does the chores and Forest brings me food."

[SINIB]

Irisviel

"Buh-buh-but! How often do you eat at super fancy five star restaurants! You can't do it more than once a month, right?"

[Thedoctor]

Archer

"If that's how you feel then let's head to her then." He said to her with a fake bow.

[Elf]

Saber

"Forest takes me out to eat twice a week.  She will order an orange juice and a fruit plate while I eat," Saber said with a nod.


Rin

Rin nodded and said, "She will probably be in her room with Shirou now if they're not in the kitchen."

She blushed as she realized what Shirou and Sakura were probably doing in her very pink bed.  Then she guided Archer to her sister's room and knocked on the door.

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

Sakura felt it! She was about to reach it! She was so close!

And then she heard a knock.

“Shit.” She whispered as she quickly pulled her hands out of her pants. She shoved her hand into her pocket and quickly got up to open the door a crack. She saw Rin and Archer standing in front of her and smiled. “Did you finish catching up, or is something wrong?”

[Elf]

Rin

Rin tilted her head at Sakura's flushed face, but she heard the shower still running.  Shaking it off, Rin took a deep breath and said, "We . . . need to talk about Vanguard.  He's acting really weird."

[Thedoctor]

Archer

Archer getting annoyed at the uncertainty decided to cut to the point. "Vanguard jumped Rin in the shower and tried to have his...her...way with her." He said this with an angry look on his face clearly disturbed by the event.

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura frowned. "Nee-san, is this true?"

[Elf]

Rin

Heat flooded Rin's cheeks and replied, "She also kissed Archer against his will.  I didn't want her in the shower with me, I told her this but she just kind of forced her way in.  I mean, I know she has a body now, but he's not acting like how he was last night."

She fidgeted with her sleeve there and said, "Honestly, I'm glad Archer was there."  Then she flashed her former (soon to be again) Servant a tiny smile.
