Sakura and Shirou

Sakura frowned and looked downwards with disappointment and sadness as Irisviel refused her gesture of afffection. Not that she blamed her, finding out that her daughter had died was a big shock for her. Shirou, meanwhile, just watched on sadly, feeling awful for putting his foot in his mouth and upsetting the poor woman.

“Why don’t you two go have dinner, I’m not feeling good right now, and I think I’m going to go take a nap", Irisviel said, clearly not in the mood to talk.

Sakura nodded understandingly and turned to Shirou, preparing to go and get a long-overdue meal, before realising that she didn't know where the kitchen was.

"Erm, sorry", she said, hesitantly, "could you point us to the kitchen?"

Irisviel

“Yeah, sure.” Irisviel said, feeling down in the dumps. “It’s over that way.” She pointed in the general direction. “You two go have fun.” She said dismissively. “I’m going to lay down now, you can find me if you need me.”

Sakura and Shirou

A sad look came over Sakura's face at the woman's reply. She was a very nice person, and seeing her so upset was painful, particularly since it was their fault that she was so sad. Still, there was nothing they could do right now. After all, she had good reason to be upset, given what she had just heard, and comforting words from a couple of people she barely knew was unlikely to help. It was better for them to just allow her to go have a rest, and hope she might feel better later.

"OK, thank you", Sakura said politely, sadness tinging her voice as she turned to walk away. "And, sorry...."

Shirou, meanwhile, was on the verge of crying. His biggest regret had always been that he'd been unable to save his sister, unable to give her the life she'd deserved. His life had been full of happy moments but, at every one, there had always been a twinge of regret that Ilya could not be there to share it with them.

"I'm sorry too", he said, his voice almost breaking up.

Irisviel

Irisviel nodded again at them before turning around, looking haggard. She felt defeated, even though she logically knew this had nothing to do with herself. It wasn’t her Illya but then...why did it hurt so much? How could she have planned such a thing, how could she have thought it could possibly go well? She pondered these questions as she walked to her room sadly.

"Noriko, your admission test will be to assist this man and to lay the groundwork. One day. No more, no less. Do you have any objections?"

Noriko

Not that she really had anything better to do at that moment. "Nah, I'm fine.", she answered Vanguard. "Better then if we go now." She prefered it to be done sooner than later.

Tohuw Balagan

Toe grinned cheerfully at the sight before him, utterly uncaring about her mistaken words. In fact, he seemed rather glad. It was a really hard game, but he finally spied something!
“You are red!” The demon cheered.

“More importantly, you are stupid. There is no love without selfishness, you should know that! Oops, that’s right, you don’t know anything about love. My baaaad. You are really ignorant though! Foolish to the point of being adorable. More importantly…”

This was vexing. He had finished playing, but he didn’t think the ones back there would finish so fast. They kinda sucked at this after all. But the sun was a real problem! So how would he get rid of this problem without interrupting their game?

A cruel shark-like smile crawled up Tohuw’s red lips.

“Oh! I know!”

With that, the demon stomped on the ground and leapt incredibly high, tall enough to reach even a skyscraper along with his umbrella. Snapping his fingers, he made a couch appear under his butt and landed comfortably, floating above in his kingly couch.

Hmmm, but this was a problem. To pull this off, he’d have to actually try. He didn’t want that. Honestly, he rather stay home and watch Toradora or something, eat pizza and play games. This was frustrating, frustrating, frustrating, frustrating, so frustrating. It was so very very frustrating, he almost felt like giving up.

 But then he remembered something essential. Useless work, fake relationships and empty victories! That is the motto of Shonen Jump, so how could a Shonen Jump lover dare give up? No, he’d do this! He would not let his dreams be dreams! He would seize this one shot, one opportunity! He would end this shitty serialization before the anime began! Bai bai Theater, it was fun.

Altough whoever was inside would find it much. Less. Funny. But it wasn’t him who started this, so no matter what happened to that poor old fart, it wasn’t his fault!

Just this once, he'd go all out in the least enthousiastic way ever!

“Now, I will show you my *yawn* power! The power of love! *Yawn* Oh Gloria, let this wretched sun fall once and for all. (Meh, that sounds cheesy, can I go home?)”

Picking his nose, he ejected a sickeningly colourful booger (or was it chewing gum?) from his nose, waved his hand theatrically and cast the filth into the bowels of the earth. A great suge of magic seeped from the daemon, filthy and disgusting in design. The air itself seemed to twist to match his heart and mind.

And slowly but surely, the earth below the theater began to bubble, as if it was melting. But the earth did not change, at least physically. It simply couldn’t carry the burden of such a fat theater any longer, and so it began to slowly sink into the ground as if the floor was made of honey or something.

"Good night." He added smugly.


Hyoudo Tenma?

"Ow..."

Tenma was rubbing her head with alcohol, the crash party she took with the floor a bit too violent for her liking. The others were fighting or something, well, whatever.

It was kinda great, how she had found this place in the middle of nowhere. Food, wifi and shelter. It was almost too good to be true, but it seemed she could start over here. A fresh new start huh? Well, she seemed to have found-

Suddenly, she heard a robotic sound behind her. Glancing at the mirror, she saw a small robot standing behind her, a CAT.

Odd. She didn't recall leaving a C.A.T on alert mode, she certainly didn't activate it herself. It was standing behind her, a neon green light glowing behind her. SHe raised an eyebrow, but it was probably nothing worth making a fuss over. Wait, no. This wasn't a CAT, but-

"Huh, what are you do-"

Before she could finish her sentence, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She couldn't even breathe, or scream. Almost immediately, she crashed on the floor lifelessly. A lance of sure death had most certainly been thrust into her heart, the beam struck true. There was no blood or gore, only a scorched hole.

Sleep time. A high pitched, childlike robotic voice responded.

Tenma groaned, clinging desperatedly to something, anything. Her sight was becoming dark, blurry. She clawed desperately to the ground. Despite everything, she tried to desperatedly to keep herself conscious. But why? WHy? Why was her old prototype there? Here?

Before she could even complete her messy trail of questions, she heard a chillingly dull, monotone robotic voice from her wristwatch, echoing into the bathroom and lingering into her pained head, drilling into the depths of her psyche. That voice, it couldn't be.

Hello there. It's been a long time, how have you been? I've been really busy being dead. You know, after you killed me!?

You...

I know we've both said some things you are going to regret, but I think we can put our differences behind us. For science. You monster.



After a good while, the bathroom door unclicked and a woman stepped out. She was pale, graceful and firm. Looking around aimlessly, her dead eyes averted to the man in the suit of armour. Her movements were captivating, not a single wasted movement or misstep. There was something... different, slightly different about how she looked at the world, how she spoke.

It was like looking at a machine. And, altough it seemed a point of little significance, her wristwatch was gone.

"Yo." She said boredly, waving lazily to the three.

Shirou

“Rider?!” Shirou exclaimed. “What are you doing here?” He’d thought Sakura had wanted to... He blushed, imagining Rider doing lewd things. “Um, we’re a bit busy.” Meanwhile Sakura looked at him innocently and silently, laughing internally. Finally she spoke up. "You can come in, Rider." She kicked her feet up and down in excitement, almost ready to squeal. "We're not doing anything naughty.

Forest

The blond smirked and said, "You can go ahead and be first then.  Technically, Kenzo's gonna be last anyway so . . . Besides, I need a second to get all of this hair up."

She chuckled as Rikuyo rushed to the hot springs.  She finished stripping and yelped at the sudden cold against her exposed skin.  Goosepimples rippled on her skin as she swiftly brushed her hair, braided it, coiled it at the back of her head, and secured it with the elastic band.   Then, she ran after the young Asian girl.

"...eh?"

Akatsuki was the very picture of surprised.

One instant, she was in the middle of a sortie, traversing through a stormy area before reaching the boss. It definitely happened, too, because she was still dripping with rain water and smelled of salt.

Yet, instead of a vast expanse of water, she found herself in a small, traditional-looking kitchen. It was not raining, or windy, or in any way dangerous like her previous situation had been.

In fact, the most dangerous thing around was probably the man facing a counter, effortlessly slashing away at some fruits with a massive red sword like some kind of...

Some kind of goddamn fruit berserker.

"Ex-excuse me?" She asked, her voice a bit cracked because of the brusqueness of it all. "Excuse me, where am I?"

Rider

It was obvious from Shirou's shocked response that, if Sakura did indeed want a threesome, she had not shared her plans with Shirou. Rider laughed slightly at his obvious shock and embarassment, but did not enter the room. After all, Sakura had not asked her to come in and, judging from Shirou's response, they were obviously in the middle of having a little.. fun. Whilst she had no problem with the idea of joining them, she was not going to do so against Sakura's wishes.

Rider waited there, amused by Shirou's reaction, until Sakura spoke up.

"You can come in, Rider", she said.

Accepting her words, Rider took a deep breath and then opened the door, expecting to find them in some state of undress. However, before she could even get inside, Sakura continued to speak.

"We're not doing anything naughty", she added.

Ah, OK, I see, Rider thought, relaxing slightly now she knew that a threesome was not the immediate intention.

Opening the door, she looked inside. Shirou was sat on the bed, blushing slightly, whilst Sakura was kicking her feet up and down like an excited schoolgirl. Not that Rider could blame her, given what had just happened. Her happiness was infectious for Rider, and a broad smile soon came over her face as well.

"Congratulations, Sakura. And you too, Shirou. You are perfect for each other", she said, happily.

Sakagami Kenzo

Don't stop, never stop! FIrst the pork chops, then the duck, then the vegetables! Always the vegetables. Watch for the rice's temperature, mix swirl stir mix the saucy sauces, do not let a single thing distract you. The fish... its cooking times must be exact! The cutting edge and the timing could make the difference between life and death!

And now, the dessert! SHit, no pastry bread. Fruits will have to make do. So he swung his blade with a surgeon's precision, a butterfly's grace, a hawk's speed and an elephant's might. DIce them, slice them! Harder, faster, better, stronger! Cut cut cuuuut!

Hiken~ TSUBAME GAESHI!!

Immediately, he slashed wildly on the fruit thrice very fast. His movements were like a dance, a mad dance between sword slashes enveloping the oni in a crimson rubedo. Fruit gore and blood oozed from the diced carcasses as they flew and rained upon neat little bowls.

Before he could work on the pineapple, watermelon and kiwis, he heard a voice behind him. Their essence poured on his face like rainfall, his face curling into a psychotic smile.

"Ex-excuse me?" She asked, her voice a bit cracked because of the brusqueness of it all. "Excuse me, where am I?"

Suddenly, the demon stopped, twirled the sword and bumped the point on the floor with a thud before turning behind to face a young girl. Damn, he got carried away... anyhow, he looked at her and scratched his head before speaking up casually.

"Oh! Uh, sorry. Didn't notice you walk in. Well, you're in the woods. If ya didn't figure that out walking here, I can bet you're lost too."

Then, he looked back to the multiple plates of food. All that was left was the decoration and the appetizers would be done. The poor girl was wet and lost, she'd starve if it wasn't for him! How could he let a cute girl suffer an empty stomach? NEVER!

"Hungry?" He added, tilting his head and looking at the girl blankly as if expecting something.

"Hungry?" He added, tilting his head and looking at the girl blankly as if expecting something.
"In the woods?" Akatsuki questioned, eyeing the strange man who seemed to have a fondness for... vigorous cooking. Well, in his defense, it looked like a lot of food. To get it all done in time for his guests, he'd have to put a lot of energy.

She decided that made perfect sense and puffed up her chest, her attention renewed onto her problem.

"But that can't be right, I was at sea before appearing here," she stated matter-of-factly, almost as much for herself as for him. She focused on him again, then his food, and remembered what he'd said last. Well, she hadn't eaten in three days during the sortie, but that was alright. Her body could withstand such things.

There did seem to be a lot of food though.

"And ah, I'm not that hungry," she said unconvincingly, for as she did, her stomach growled loudly.

And her face lit up like a tomato.

Lone Wanderer:

It's been a day or two since Jeremy could just relax and eat something. His helmet was sitting on the table, but he was not sitting in the booth; rather, he was standing, relying on his armor to carry his weight while his body relaxed. The Bear Claw was pretty good actually: Sweet, flaky, and the center was an apple filling. Still wasn't as good as Old Lady Palmer's sweetroles, but a fresh pastry was nonexistent in the wasteland and hot damn this is a shitton better than two-hundred-year-old Fancy Lad's.

Jeremy was finishing his treat when Tenma finally emerged from the restroom she was holed up in. However, there was something off with how the scientist was behaving: her movements looked automated, and her eyes were vacant. even her greeting was uncharacteristic of her quirky self. "You feelin' alright, Tenma?" the Wanderer asked.

Shirou

(OOC: I'm taking him over again.)

"Congratulations, Sakura. And you too, Shirou. You are perfect for each other," Rider happily said.

Shirou smiled and patted Sakura's hand.  "It was something we were talking about before . . . anyway."  Heat filled his cheeks and he laughed.

"Guess I need to find a ring, huna?"

Relius Clover

Relius watched as the armor effectively dumped this red haired child on him and left.  Not caring much for the details on their relationship, he began walking away, back towards his soon to be lab. 

“Make haste.  We are leaving now.”  He said, in an oddly neutral tone. 

Eventually, they arrived at the front door of the costume store lab.  Now standing in front of the door, Relius finally turned around to face the girl.

“We have arrived.  Young lady, before we continue, may I ask your name?”  He inquired in a polite gentlemanly tone.


Medaka Kurokami

Medaka sighed.  "You know, maybe your right." 

Without warning, Toe jumped over the wall.  Once again, Medaka sighed.  It felt like all she does in this city is follow around fool hearty men who are trying to get into fights.  At least this time, its for a good purpose.

Medaka took a deep breath.  Then, she delivered a swift powerful kick to the wall, creating a hole more than big enough for her to travel through.  She walked through the hole, only to see that the theater was now sinking into the ground.
