[yinsukin]

Medaka

Theodore?  But...  How?  He has the same abilities and Toeisms........  Wait but he didn't actually take her soul...... But he tried to kill her.........  But he seems to care......  But.....

Who is Theodore?

He changed....without me.

I did nothing

He didn't need me.

Still lost in thought, she absentmindedly caught the phone before Shinobu snapped her out of it. "He...He raped them...he twisted their form and now I do not have anymore. I want my donuts back! Do you have any?"  Medaka turned her body to face Shinobu, giving her a somewhat blank stare.  "Umm no."

It's dangeorous to go alone. We're contacts now, so please call me when you're in trouble. Knowing you, it will be often, which is good. I get lonely.

That's right.  Demon or massiah, Toe or Medaka, everyone gets lonely. The sad blue haired girl briskfully griped shiobu's hand and began pulling her forward.

"Cmon, lets go get some."

[Kat]

Rikuyo

The redhead prowled the streets for an easy mark. She was so fortunate that someone misplaced a switchblade that she scavenged, picking it up from the ground. The blade worked a bit funny from her point of view, but still something useful to have on her. Just showing it should be enough to scare off some cowards, but she wouldn't hesitate to actually use it if she had to.

She had spotted some fool sleeping while standing upright, with some weird mask on his face. Hahaha, what a sucker She grinned, feeling like she hit the jackpot.

"Oi, wake up, dude, gimme yer cash or yer food, or I'll scratch yer chin with this little baby." She ordered the man, the tip of the knive's blade just under the man's chin.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Theodore

After this whole tiring debacle, the demon felt rather tired. However, he didn't have anywhere to go, nor did he have somewhere to return back to. Irisviel's castle would be awkward, and he doubted Sakura was receiving any visitors. Besides... he couldn't go there anymore.

Theodore sighed and simply walked up to a dark streetcorner. If there was no place for him, he'd simply have to make one. Such a lousy spot suited him fine, and the shade was nice. Beggars couldn't be choosers.

...

So he reached for his pocket and pulled out a sleeping mask before putting it on. At the very least, he wanted to rest and enjoy his solitude. He hadn't slept in an eternity, this was supposed to be something he was looking forward to, but honestly he just couldn't find it in him.

He was unneeded, and unwanted. He had been unable to keep what little bonds he had managed to possess. No, he had never cherished them to begin with. And now, he had nothing but an empty shell and a tormenting silence.

In the end, nothing had changed.

There was no way he could doze off and sleep peacefully with so many sins crawling on his back. But he was so tired. So tired he felt like going mad.


The demon tried to rest, unaware of the passage of time. Perhaps he simply ignored it, or failed to care enough to notice. He tried to find sleep, but instead, it seemed fate had other plans.

Suddenly, he felt a cold sensation trickling his chin, and a womanly voice bossing him around.

"Oi, wake up, dude, gimme yer cash or yer food, or I'll scratch yer chin with this little baby."

Dammit, just when he tought he was safe from the crazy. Why did problems always seem to find him like that? It's not like he wanted any part in any of this, he had a rough day. Kids these days simply had no respect. Still, he didn't have the energy in him to complain.

Well, maybe he could humor her for a bit. He did not respond. Instead, his head bobbled down and a line of drool dripped on the ground. Aside that, he didn't move a muscle, or made much noise at all. He looked to be knocked out pretty cold, or dead.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Whilst the best part had now passed, the rest of the movie was still fun enough, and Rider watched intently. Finally, it came to a climax with the lightsaber battle between Darth Maul, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, a battle that Rider found very enjoyable, if not on the level of the podracing. Then, finally, it ended, the credits beginning to roll. Smiling, Rider looked around, noticing the excitement of Sakura's hyperactive new servant and the way that her master was sitting on Shirou's lap, feeding them both popcorn.

With the movie now over, Sakura turned to Jeanne, asking her what she thought of the film. Her response, as expected, was highly enthusiastic. She'd clearly enjoyed the movie immensely, and wanted to watch the others. That was certainly not something Rider would object to, either. Whilst the first was her favourite, the other eight were all fun to watch too, and some were far better written than Episode I.

Deciding not to bother to correct Shirou's incorrect statement about the number of movies, Rider listened to the conversation, excited to hear that Sakura had a copy of all of the movies back in her house. Then, Sakura turned to the smiling Rider, and asked her what she had thought.

"What was your favorite scene Rider, you look like you enjoyed it alot", she said.

A bright smile came over the servant's face. She had indeed enjoyed the movie, and she knew that it would make Sakura happy to know that.

"The podracing scene, definitely. Those pods are so awesome, I really wish I could drive one. The rest of the movie is great, too, it's my favourite of the Star Wars movies", she said, clearly in a good mood.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Urthemiel

While the Old God was more than understanding of the fact that her own beauty and greatness was enough to enrapture lesser creatures the squeak that the drake gave was most disappointing. Regardless, she was not found of wasting time and they had spent  long enough in awe. Urthemiel lifted her head and raised it up to the sky before releasing an earth shaking roar and lowering herself once more towards the mages. If they failed to get on soon she had no doubt that she was impatient enough to simply grab Aptera and leave.


Lumen

As she sulked Lumen began to feel rather childish. The idea didn't necessarily make her any less incensed but she was certain that just sitting around would be unhealthy. But there was still the fact that she felt a little bad making such a fuss even if she was in the right. The Patchwork got up and opened her mouth for a moment as if attempting to gain the motivation to say something but instead she simply gave a halfhearted wave and walked away. She needed something to distract her from this whole mess.


It took a few moments and a few cracked walls for her to calm down a bit but eventually she got back on track. With a poster in hand she made her way into the nicest bar she had seen so far (although this wasn't really saying much) and took a seat. Looking at who she really hoped to be the bartender she gently the paper on the chair next to her and asked, "You're looking for a bouncer? I'm pretty sure I can do that."

[Aiden]

Gadreel

The exile managed to present a faint smile for Mordred's benefit in celebration of her apparent victory. "Alas," he said, slowly shaking his hand about as if to reduce some unanticipated discomfort. "I am quite glad to see you are gracious in your victory, despite your clear sense of triumph."

He began to stand up, and nodded to both of the apparently young ladies before him. "I shall take my leave, before my pride takes a hit harder than the table we made ill use of."

Gadreel looked to Forest, and inclined his head to her in turn. That may suffice until such time as continued secrecy becomes implausible. By all means, lead the way.

Auspicious Breeze

The cute foxy girl was pulling her and the new guy along, which was half of a possibly fun thing right there already! She could do without the man around if she was going to talk to the cutie, but maybe they would get to fight later? Ah well, that was something to figure out after eating. Breeze had been pulled away so fast she hadn't had a chance to even drink some water let alone eat.

She turned a little bit and waved to Lumen with her free hand as they went off. "Good luck calming down! Maybe we'll talk later!" the exalt called out to her. "Don't pick any fights with blood apes!"

[NinjaQ]

William

A whistle echoed through William’s head as the Bellatanus showed the second form he had seen. <That’s surprising.>
With a few blinks and an eyebrow raise, he stared for a moment before something halfway between a squeak and yelp drew his attention. He took a step over, slowly reaching his left hand out in front of the drake’s face. “Are you going to be okay there?” Both his voice and face were flat, revealing little about what he thought of this change of situation save for that raised eyebrow.
The roar resounded in his ears, sending his hands up to cover them. Despite that, the only change in his face was a crease of pain that only lasted for a moment.
<You’re not thinking of doing pulling that again, are you?> Of course not.
William half turned around, addressing the dragon behind him. “I do believe that you still have a deal to finalize first before we take off. Or were you going to take us to the library first and ask for the sample later?” The question floated out as his face once more settled into that blank expression with the single raised eyebrow; however, his body tensed, expecting an adverse reaction.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Count Greyskull

"EEK!!" The skeleton yelped with a sudden jump, all but startled by the mighty creature's roar. He wasn't scared or anything, for he was the great and mighty Count Greyskull. He could not feel fear!!! He was just shaking his bones and letting out a primal yell to assert dominance.

He then proceeded to run as quickly as a skeleton could to the sublime drake's neck and clung on it for dear life, trembling as his calcium enhanced teeth chattered like maracas.

S-samples?

[Lycodrake]

Lycodrake Aptera

His embarassment deepened when he realized he had made such a pitiful sound. He silently thanked William for asking a question, but winced when the young mage continued and addressed Bellatanus. And then the plant spirit-thing latched around his neck in fright. Okay. Things were not going as planned. He had wanted to find a library, met William, ran into Bellatanus and the plant-thing and now it was spiralling into a near-comedic disarray.

He decided it would be best if he took action in this interaction and not continue to make a fool of himself and appear so subservient. He bowed out of the neckhold and stepped forward while addressing William and Bellatanus, clearing his throat...several times. He stepped deliberately and with intent, taking on the stature he used as a divine courier.

He bowed his head for a second to Bellatanus and spoke. "He does have a point, but I'm certain that your time is precious, Lady Bellatanus. I take it that the transaction of blood would be due upon arrival, if not here and now? I have no qualms with either."

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

The blond kyuukestuski felt herself get pulled along by the blue haired girl to places unknown. "Oh do you know somewhere Medaka." She asked her with excitement that couldn't be contained. As she got pulled along she did remember something that that man, Theodore had called her.

"Why did he call you Vice prez?" She asked Medaka suddenly with what seemed almost like fake curiosity or perhaps there was something else to it.


Jin

Oka was clearly processing what she had just heard given hom much she was hugging Wormy and how much she was reassuring herself. Not wanting to have her feel so down he also showed his support. "I'm here to if you need me."

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

She was bouncing around again, her excitement was clear as day as she heard Shirou's response about the other movies. In her excitement she was like an unstoppable train, 'helping' Sakura and Shirou out of their seat as well as 'escorting' all three of her companions out from the movie theater. Her companions would be unsure how she had done it, as one moment the blonde was talking really excitedly and the next all four of them found themselves outside of the movie theater.

"So where to now my most adorable master?" She asked Sakura with a completely serious voice, making the line come across even more comical than it was by it's own.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

And thus he began his heroic test, this monumentous task, of finding the library. But before that there was something that needed to be answered. "What's wrong with the basement?"

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa

Oka blinked back tears as she pulled Jin into a group hug with Wormy, whom nuzzled her with his warm face. She stood thinking, holding her new, and now seemingly only, human friend. After several long moments, she finally spoke.

"…Thank you…" She whispered. "That really means a lot to me." She pressed her face against his strong chest and closed her eyes, unsure of how to proceed.

[Elf]

Forest

Forest blinked as Kuro challenged Mordred after the blond thanked Gadreel to an arm-wrestling match and Mordred thinking the girl wanted to duel.  She looked at Gadreel as he shook his hand and he said,  "I shall take my leave, before my pride takes a hit harder than the table we made ill use of."

That may suffice until such time as continued secrecy becomes implausible. By all means, lead the way.

Forest gave him a tiny grin and said, "And you keep winning more points."

She sent to him, I don't think either one are the type to gush over make-up, so back to the cosmetics counter?  I kind of don't want to leave until after Mordred the Vampire Slayer does.  My cloak of darkness" isn't exactly conspicuous.

Biting her lip, she held out her hand again and smiled at the two young women, "Good luck, ah, may the best woman win."


Gabriel

Gabriel smirked and looked at Emily.  He said, "I get the feeling I sort of piss her off right now though."


Rin

Rin answered, "It's Sakura's workroom.  Which is a kind of sacred thing to a magus.  She might get upset if you went down there without her knowing it, that's all."

[Thedoctor]

Archer

"Why would Sakura put her workshop down there? Something isn't right here." He thought when he heard what she had said. Turning around just before he left the room he answered her. "Then I'll just have to tell her when she comes back." With that he left the kitchen with a determined pace, wanting to solve the mystery he had happened upon.
