Jeanne

It was too strong.

She found herself stumbling down a weird apartment building, the walls were strange, the doors were strange, the lights were strange. Or maybe she was the one who was strange. How did she even end up in this place, she had a vague recollection of fooling around with that man, Emiya Sh- sh- Shero? No that wasn't quite it. She shook her head as the world became clearer.

It was a normal aparmtent buidling after all, there wasn't anything strange about it and the walls were most definitely not tilting.

This is why you should never drink anything that's green and glowing.

She was holding onto something, upon further study it turned out to be a human. It was the human whose name she couldn't remember earlier, Shirou Emiya. Not questioning why she was holding onto his hand, she tugged him along down the hallway. Eventually she heard voices from inside an apartment, the door was left wide open and you could hear people arguing inside. As if guided by a greater force, she took off and went straight in with no regards for private property.

The sight that greeted her in there was not something she had ever expected to run across. There was a man pointing a gun towards a tall naked woman who appeared to be drunk. The drunk woman was surrounded by a swarm of strange creatures that felt unnerving to her.

Then she noticed her , the final woman in the room. She couldn't mistake the identity of that woman, not with the abilities granted to her as Servant Ruler. She felt a sense of awe as she saw the greatest of the Apostles and first Pope in the flesh, standing in front of her.

"By The Lord, what's going on in here?" Jeanne directed the question at Petra, asking her for guidance.

Annabeth

As they went deeper, the Hunter could feel that strange presence, that feeling that she was being watched, grow ever stronger as they moved. If anything, more presences seemed to join in, as they went deeper in, until finally Rikuyo brought them to a stop. They were in a clearing, with the blood red moon shining bright above them, highlighting the entrance to the cave before them. It was large enough for a bear, at the very least.

...Oh great, this looks promising...though I suppose it could be worse.

As if to answer that remark, Ron got the idea in his head to suddenly start howling, Annabeth looking at him with first surprise, then annoyance. Resisting the urge to smack him upside the head for that and deciding that saying something would only make the problem worse, the Hunter simply let her aura flow, going into Ren as a matter of course. She could worry about the other distractions later, the fight ahead would probably be trouble enough. Taking a moment more to think about it, the Hunter instead decided to seal up her aura nodes, going into Zetsu and taking a few steps back, her presence seemingly vanishing.

Rikuyo

The ground under them rumbled a bit as the spirit slumbering beneath stirred in its sleep. It would awaken soon, so there went any semblance of subtlety. No benefit to get into that cave and fight in close quarters. She had better idea instead.

"Ya should better step back too, Ron-chan. I'm gonna clear a way for us, no need anymore to sneak through that tunnel." Rikuyo announced, raising her fist and focusing her aura into it. This technique she worked on during her training needed few seconds to charge, but packed more power than her normal punches.

"TETSUHŌ!" Rikuyo yelled as she slammed her first into the ground, releasing the accumulated energy and making the ground exploded under her feet, collapsing. She was about to fall through directly into the spirit's den. She always had been in favor of direct solutions.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

He kept up the charade as Sakura jumped her sister. To his ever growing amusement she even wrapped tentacles around her, if someone were to walk in they might misinterpret what was going on. Some things had to be dealt with however, he cpuldn't allow this to go on unanswered. "Yes I agree, she has clearly been possesed, possibly in London by this so called friend of hers who sounds like a complete warmonger." He gave Rin a stern look as if lecturing her.

Are you enjoying groping her? Archer couldn't help but tease the other person involved, she had herself to blame for taking out the black tentacles after all.

[Kat]

Mordred

A phone in the changeling's pocket started ringing, interrupting Mordred. Was it a call from her workplace? She did hope that this call was something important, as she wasn't keen on being disturbed during her free time without need.

Unfortunately, it was not a call from Elites through which they would give her the first assignment, but a call from somebody she had displeasure sharing room with while she was drunk and obnoxious. Mordred sighed in mild annoyance at being bothered but answered the call. After all, she could keep calling her if ignored.

"You called? I'm busy, so be brief."

[Elf]

Rin

Rin yelped as Sakura pounced on her from behind, wrapping her arms around Rin.  Shadow tendrils were added to the affair, the sight of them causing Rin's blood to run cold.  "He's right, who's possessing you, we need to quickly exorcize it from you at once! My sister can't even use a microwave!"

"Yes I agree, she has clearly been possessed, possibly in London by this so called friend of hers who sounds like a complete warmonger," Archer said with a stern look on his face.

Rin squirmed and said, "I am not possessed and Roderick isn't a warmonger.  And Sakura, why did you bring your shadows into this?"

Damn it Sakura, couldn't you figure out I was doing that so I could have Archer reheat it, Rin thought.

[Panda]

Emily

Emily resisted the urge to wince a little, guessing that Mordred had either been expecting someone else or that she was still a bit sore about the incident with the shower. Leaning back against the headboard, the changeling needed all of an instant to re-evaluate her approach.

"Just wanted to apologize for what happened back then," Emily said simply, "It was pretty dumb and driven more or less by the spur of the moment and...yeah. Sorry. It won't happen again. How have things been going for you?"

[Aiden]

Auspicious Breeze

She heard the strange sound coming from Mordred, so Breeze did the first thing instinct said to! Next thing any of them knew the muscular brawler was trying to shield Oren and Mordred with her body so whatever the strange sound was didn't hit them, or something. Once it was clear nothing bad was going to happen, she... didn't let go because why let go unless they asked?

She still looked embarrassed, though. "Ohh, that must be some kind of message-sending spell..." she said, murmuring her observation to Oren. "Mordred's good at this sorcery thing."

---------------

Ron

Rikuyo is crazy.

It wasn't a bad thought, really - he preferred this direct approach to sneaking around anyway. The werewolf gave her a little space, then circled around a couple times. By the end of the second circle his new friend was falling down the monster hole, the place where their prey was, and then he was dropping down after her ready to land on all fours.

He couldn't smell much of what was down there between all the broken earth and Rikuyo's own energies filling his nose up, but it didn't matter. He didn't know enough for foreknowledge to make a difference anyway.

Rin yelped as Sakura pounced on her from behind, wrapping her arms around Rin.  Shadow tendrils were added to the affair, the sight of them causing Rin's blood to run cold.  "He's right, who's possessing you, we need to quickly exorcize it from you at once! My sister can't even use a microwave!"

Sakura Matou

"Aha, but you can't fool me! That's exactly what a possessed person would say!" Sakura proclaimed, looking at Archer and winking at him. "But don't worry, I'll save you. I'll use all my power to do it!" Sakura began to tickle Rin with her tentacles as she spoke. "Begone, foul demons!" She said in the most exaggerated ridiculous voice she could muster.

Hehe, what if I do, Archer? How. Would. You. Feel. About. That? She asked him with a michevious smile. Does it make you... excited?

[Thedoctor]

Jin

Jin sighed at the utterly ridiculous things his girlfriend was implying. "Of course I'm not, what would ever give you that idea?" He stopped on the stop as he saw her walking on he tiptoes, showing off like that, he'd turn it against her. He quickly wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her off balance, against his chest. Her massive soft breasts were squished against him.

One of his hands stroked the lower end of her back while the other went to her head to stroke her beautiful hair. "And don't call them mounds of fat." He looked into her eyes as he made the most serious statement yet.

[Thedoctor]

Archer

Rin yelped as the tentacles wrapped around her, Sakura's tentacles then begun an unstoppable tickle assault of a calibre never before seen. "All the evidence are pointing to the contrary and the tentacles are besides the point. You're clearly trying to divert our attention!" He followed Sakura's over the top behaviour, as he joined in with more accusations.

We wouldn't know...until you did it. Besides, you need to thoroghly search her. He answered her back, anticipating the outcome.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin rolled her eyes as Sakura went on about her being possessed.  Then those shadows started to tickle her, making her squirm underneath them.  She shook her head as she started to giggle in response to the tickling attack.

She laughed, shook her head, and said, "I'm not though!  If you don't stop, I'll be really mad!"

[Aiden]

Gadreel

A godson? Then Forest still had family of her own, related by blood or not. T'was a fortuitous revelation, a showing of how she had adapted to the rigors of a lifespan exceeding the current human norm. Though, if the younger man had been left behind when she was trapped in this place it could be a less than fortunate matter.

He would not comment now. She had enough worries it appeared.

"Changing rooms have a great deal of privacy," Gadreel pointed out for her, quietly. "By design."

He stopped on the stop as he saw her walking on he tiptoes, showing off like that, he'd turn it against her.

Oka Kurosawa

"Yeeehp!" Oka yelped in surprise when Jin pulled her down, causing her to collapse against him with her large boobs squished against him. She looked up with a teary eyed face, clearly startled by what he'd done, but also smiling at him.

"Hehehe." She giggled at the seriousness of his statement. "Sorry." She said sheepishly. His hands felt good on her. The sublime feeling of his headrub was almost too much for her, she felt like she might lose control...

No, we can't get too crazy right now. She steadied herself, and wrapped him up in her strong, extremely toned, arms. "I love you." She eventually said with a dreamy expression on her face. She then leaned in and passionately kissed him on the lips.

[SINIB]

Sakura and Shirou

"Of course", Sakura said with a smile, still trying not to stare at the attractive woman's exposed cleavage.

The two of them then moved to grab the sheets, all the time trying not to stare at her as they helped her put them onto the bed.

Irisviel von Einzbern

Irisviel smiled at then and quietly thanked them after they set up her bed and crawled into it, wrapping herself in her blanket before closing her eyes.

"Night." She said quietly.
