[Adella]

Adella

"You don't look fine..." Adella stated matter of factly, her voice bubbling a little before it turned clear again. What his thumb standing upright should mean, she did not know, perhaps he meant to get up. That would certainly make sense.
In regard to his question, Adella simply sat into the snow, not even realizing the cold sipping into her pants, as she explained:"Well, it does not really matter where I go. I just walked straight ahead, by my own perception, which got me here. Last time I checked, I was pondering what I should eat... and if I should try eating again."
Making a slight pause, Adella watched him button his shirt again, before throwing in:"Might I inquire as to why you attempted, yet interrupted your disrobing in the middle of the snow, only to button them yet again? It appears rather irrational to me..."
Bringing her head closer to his chest, she'd stare intently, as if intent on finding any clues indicating the reasoning behind his actions. The only alternative was rather out of question, considering she was a masked woman in man's clothing.... probably.
"What was your name again? It appears to have slipped me..." still looking curiously at his chest, Adella would extend a hand, to poke his chest with two fingers, before finally getting up again, freeing her soaked rear off the remnants of snow.
"Well, if you wish to move on, now would be as good a time as any." She then chirped, with a suddenly gleeful tone, offering her arm to the man.

[SINIB]

Noel

Noel bit her lip and looked like she was about to cry. How could someone be so ignorant? And why did it have to be so spot on? It was humiliating, having it happen like this. She didn’t know what to even say. So she redirected her anger at the intruding red-haired woman. “If this is bothering you so much, why don’t you just leave? You don’t need to cause such a commotion!” Her deep, emerald green eyes trembled with upset. “Stop bothering us!”

[SINIB]

Oka

Oka walked away in disgust. This "Gabriel" was clearly a disgusting pervert, probably akin to the fat men in pornography. She just wanted to punch him as hard as she could. However, her grandfather's words echoed in her head. "Oka, don't give a rise in reaction to a bully. It's just what they want" Oka knew he was absolutely right. She couldn't react by telling him to fuck off, he'd just be happy about it. What a jerk.

But, maybe she could do something. A malicious grin flashed across her face as she put on her coat.
"Haunter." She whispered, and a grinning face emerged partially from the ground. "I want you to…"

After she told it what to do, it's grin grew to match, and then exceed, hers. This was why it liked Oka so much. She was just so fun at times!

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

“Of course I know that, what I’m worried about is that Rin didn’t, Vanguard. It should have been super obvious, right? How could someone who’s a magus not know it?” She asked. “What should we do if she does something really stupid?”

“I don’t know Rider, ask Shirou.” Sakura brushed Rider off a bit sullenly. She wasn’t looking forward to babysitting Rin.

[Kotomine_Rin]

VanAlma

The girl tilted her head, putting a finger on her chin and thinking for a moment. Then, she responded flatly, almost innocently so. The lack of emotion wasn't what was unsettling more than the fact she said it in such a nonchalant, uncaring way. As if she was simply describing the color of the wall.

"Well, it's not a problem if we just get rid of all the problematic ones, right? She doesn't need to meet them, we just need to be careful bad people don't approach her. She's your sister after all, you know what's best for her. On my part, I could teach her magic. If she's that curious, might as well sate that thirst in a way that doesn't put her in any trouble. Would that be fine?" She asked, smiling innocently.


Sakagami Kenzo

Kenzo frowned, looking upset for a second. He turned to the salad, staring hard at it, then turned at Riyuko.

"Uh? I just made it. It's not bad, is it?" He asked, sounding legitimately worried about the quality of his dish. Then, he walked up to the platter and took a leaf and a piece of shicken, eating it.

"Mhhh, it's good. Try it Riyu!"


Darcy Hugh

Shitshitshitshitshit!

The priest smiled confidently, holding his chin and lookin gup before answering with a great deal of pride and manly passion.

"You see, a man can have many things to hold in his heart. Sometimes, you just need to get your troubles out of your chest, take it all out. I too have taken a long, perilous journey, and if a man's clothes are too tight, his heart will be overwhelmed by his burning passion. Thus, I unbuttoned it to cool down my beautiful body."

Then, he walked towards the girl and wrapped his arm around her waist playfully, getting his face reeeally close to her face and stroking her mask with his finger.

"By the way, if I pull that off will you die?"

[Umbra of Chaos]

Lumen

There was a moment where the divine being felt relatively awkward simply standing around like this. It simply seemed rather odd and made them look rather suspicious. Didn't people usually talk in their homes or in a cafe or something? Was loitering around even normal here? The issue wasn't very pressing but it did bother her a bit like an itch you just couldn't reach. Instead of focusing on it she responded to the man. "Well, right now I don't do much of anything since I've only come here rather recently. No idea about the teen. Only met her recently."

Lumen did take care not to mention the girl's name. If she didn't want to tell Gabriel her name than the Patchwork wouldn't do it either. Names had power, and giving them freely was just asking for trouble. If Oka decided to give a false name or simply say nothing at all she wouldn't mind.

[Cherry Lover]

Sakura and Shirou

The hungry couple continued to fill their plates with a large selection of mostly-savoury foods, intending to leave the delicious-looking cakes for last. Then, they each poured theirselves a cup of tea and took that plus the food over to their table. Sitting down next to each other with a smile on their faces, they prepared to tuck into the food. Before they could begin, though, Togan spoke once more.

"Oh! I have an idea, let's play a game!" he said.

Sakura frowned. She remembered the sort of games Togan tended to play, and she certainly did not wish to subject Shirou to them. Or herself, for that matter. And, besides, they were hungry, and it would be a waste to leave suc delicious food.

"Hmm, shouldn't we finish this delicious food first?" Sakura asked, trying to hide her worried frown.

"Yes, are you going to join us?" Shirou asked.

[Thedoctor]

Major Kisaragi

After cruising away from the hellish landscape the NOL officer soon found himself walking down a street. The battle earlier had really taken a lot out of him and he was starting to feel the need for delicious refreshments, that's when he saw her, the girl who had been chased by the monster earlier. She was talking to two other people and it seemed like one of them, a man who looked like a total playboy was annoying her. Does this girl just keep running into trouble?, he thought as he looked on.

He then walked closer and spoke up, adressing the girl from earlier. "Good morning miss, I'm sorry for interrupting you so early in the morning. It's just that I saw you running away from that creature earlier and wanted to know if you were alright". He finished his sentence with a gentle reassuring smile.   

[Elf]

Doll Shirou

"Shouldn't be too much longer, Rider," Shirou answered with a smile.  "Now if someone would like to get the table ready, that would help out a lot."

He did look at Sakura and said, "Tohsaka can take care of herself.  She's an adult, and someone who's just lost everything she's worked for.  Give her time to adjust.  Knowing Tohsaka, the more you try to keep tabs on her, the more she'll rebel.  Give her some time."


Forest

Forest raised her eyebrow and said, "Rikuyo, you want first dibs?"

She secretly hoped that she could maneuver everyone into getting their's first and that there wouldn't be any left for her.  It wasn't that it wouldn't be good, but she didn't know if it had copious amounts of garlic or not.  And in a few hours I'm going to be super freaking hungry, and I don't want to bite any of these people . . .


Gabriel

The Faerie hybrid sighed and said, "Nexus seems like the sort of place where people just sort of appear.  I would wager that's the Young Miss's case as well.  I have my own agenda here as well."

Clever, not giving me the girl's name.  Not that I could truly use that power myself, but cautious none the less.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"You ain't hungry? C'mon, you ain't a bodyless ghost, I bet you can eat. You just haven't in a while so you ain't used to it." The woman still operated on the 'logic' that Forest was a ghost that found a new body. She had a lot to re-learn then. "Just how long you have been dead to not remember about eating? Just eat, Kenzou surely put effort into it, at least try it." She was losing a bit patience with the ghost girl. At this rate she wouldn't take a no as answer, depending what kind of excuse Forest procured.

[Elf]

Forest

"I'm not a ghost," Forest said, lifting up her hands.  "I'm something else and even though I can eat I have to be really careful.  There's things, okay a thing that can bloody sting when I eat it.  And it'll leave blisters on my mouth which isn't fun . . . "

[Kat]

Rikuyo

"You are allergic to what? C'mon, just tell us. It's a salad, we can take out the thing for ya if we need to." Rikuyo questioned Forest. Removing any food that one couldn't handle from the dish was quite a trivial task. The girl also denied once again that she is a ghost. Then what she could be? "Funny, you don't either feel like somebody alive. I don't know why, it's just a feeling. Whom you are, then?"

[SINIB]

Sakura

Sakura turned to face Shirou. “I’d be willing to do that, but she tried to be an idiot and gain magical information for nothing by simply asking. She didn’t know who it was, why they were here, or what their motives were, but she tried to go up to them and ask away.” She turned back to Vanguard. “And that’s why I’m okay with you teaching her magic, on a few conditions. But before we discuss that, surely you want to eat? I remember saying that I’d make you some food, but Shirou’s a great cook as well. I’m sure it’ll be up to par.” She smiled at Vanguard. She didn’t know how he’d gotten his body, nor did she really care. He was still Vanguard to her. She trusted him enough to protect her and her sister.” And he hadn’t done anything to betray that trust.

[Elf]

Forest

"Because technically I'm not alive," Forest said folding her arms over her chest and scowling.  "I'm a vampire.  Nosferatu.  Creatures of the night, what sweet music do they make and all that nonsense.  I exist, because technically not living, by drinking the blood of the living, but I don't kill to feed before anyone get's their knickers in a twist.  Or attack me.  And no, I can't do the blood bag thing or pigs blood.  My vampirism doesn't work that way.

"Annnnnd what I'm worried about is garlic, because that's something that Stoker's book got right."

She then took a deep, unneeded breath.

[MissingMandible]

Corporal Mathew Blackburn:

People watching was one of his hobbies. When the last class at the academy ended, Mathew would always be seen sitting on one of the ground's benches watching people go about there business.

A few people came into the gas station the Dragoon was currently in. He'd take a look at them, then turn his attention onto the next person. However, a young woman caused him to outright stare. It wasn't that he felt that way, it was the blonde's outfit that made her stick out more than anything. It resembled those frilly dresses the young noblewomen would wear back in Harlech, albeit the color pallet is darker than what they would have worn. The hair ribbons could be described, somehow, as 'loud'. But the real eye catcher was the umbrella she was carrying, made to look like a damn cat.

Sure, parasols are supposed to be dainty, frilly things, but this takes the cake!
