[Aiden]

Hospit-Noel

Noel, to her credit, managed to avoid taking a step back from the large and imposing man. It was a difficult thing for her to do. He was tall and bulky and evil looking giant of a man. She managed to nod and smile, before turning her attention to Forest.

"Your car will be fine. You can either have someone come to collect it or we'll have someone tow it in the morning, at which point you'll just have to pay a small fee for the towing and its yours again." Noel recited these words with a concentrating look on her face, as if she was having trouble remembering the entire thing.

Yes! She smiled as she cheered internally, happy she'd remembered her entire spiel.

Noel then pulled out another pair of handcuffs and slapped then onto Forest's wrists. They were specially enchanted by their esteemed weapon-smith so they wouldn't be just for show against the myriad of supernaturals the force dealt with.

Afterwords, Noel simply said "Follow me." As she walked to her squad car, making sure to walk next to them so they didn't try anything.

Gadreel

He could break out of his mundane shackles all too easily, but he had enough respect for humans to go along with their processes as long as lives were not at stake. Noel had proven to be quite an ethical individual, and her endearing awkwardness outside of the field of battle aside she clearly had a firm handle on what she was doing here. So he went along as she told them to, and even spoke up. "I see the law enforcement of this city has a higher caliber of recruit than most. Are you the norm here, Noel?"

He doubted it, but it was worth inquiring about. Assumptions led to mistakes and insults that burned bridges before they could even finish being built.

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

her excitement rose once more as Medaka pulled her even closer, the girl's huge boobs crushing her own as she was forced into a pasionate kiss. She barely had time to register it before the younger vampire pulled back to answer her questions. Even if it was brief she did appreciate it though as small smile adorned her face for a moment before she focused on what the other vampire was saying.

The blonde nodded to her as she gave her response, the smile returning to her face as she saw how joyful she was. "Before you run away to save the day, try walking and see how it feels." The vampire looked like she was anticipating something comedic to happen.

[Aiden]

Ron

The werewolf moved so he didn't get stepped on or something when Medaka got off the table, and once again wondered what the hell happened to his pants, damn it. Ron wasn't really mad about it, of course, and the reason for it was staring him in the face and making out. Then he saw what Shinobu was doing and sat down to the side to watch, barely restraining his urge to laugh prematurely even as a wolf. This was gonna be funny.

"Rrr~"

He could go get new pants after this.

[yinsukin]

Medaka

Medaka tilted her head in confusion.  She got up and started walking around.  There was a sharp pain in her groin as she walked.  She stumbled for a second before regaining her balance.
Thats right.  When you lose your virginity, you bleed.  There was no blood coming out yet but it was incredibly uncomfortable to walk.  In a few moments however, the pain ended.  Shinobu probably just wanted her to walk it off.

With a confident stride and a bare chest she walked to the doorway of the shop.  "Now then.  Let us go forth and find Theodore!"  She said, opening the door with a dramatic pull of the handle.  She walked outside, expecting the other two to follow.  She stopped in the middle of the abandoned street.  "Where is Rikuyo?"  She asked.

[Kat]

Minato

"Oh, that's so nice of you." Hopefully this fellow wouldn't back off soon now that he saw she is pregnant. When Minato posted her profile she neglected to publish her full photo and her picture only contained her face. The tidbit that she had kids wasn't exactly a lie. Closer than further to the childbirth after all.

"That's from Italy, right?" She picked up the conversation. "I honestly have only basic knowledge on the topic, in Japan bread is a Western thing."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

Ah, were they expecting her to feel fear? So menacing? But feeling was a choice, just like existing, and as long as she clung to the Formless One there would be no fear. Such a thing did not truly exist within it. Not anymore than fear existed in some actor playing a role.

A toothy grin appeared on her face, but all her attention was seemingly on the body. She cocked her head and gave it a rather protective look.


Lucy

Ah! How ungrateful. She remembered when stripping used to be an appreciated art. That didn't stop her from slipping her clothes back on as she followed and listened. Occasionally she'd be hopping around on one foot as the Messengers slipped a stocking on, but the fact that they were doing most of the work made it easier to follow and pay attention. "That shouldn't be too hard. There are a few well known crafters around here, and they're far from infallible in regards to mental protection. Do you have a design in mind, master?"

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

Like the wind she seamlessly flowed down from the counter with unnatural grace, the poor thing remaining in position for a few brief moments before tipping over to the side and crashing into the ground with a loud noise. Her clothes returned to her body mid leap, no worse for wear, in fact they weren't even dirty. The werewolf might be surprised as to their sudden existence and the faint glowing that acompanied it.

Speeding up to catch the younger vampire, Shinobu managed to arrive next to her just as she wondered where Rikuyo had went. "Are you really going like that?" Her question was joined by an amused look as the elder vampire took in her naked form.

[Aiden]

Ron

It was about as funny as he thought it'd be! Unfortunately his good humor didn't last too long, because then Shinobu was showing off being able to make more clothes out of nothing. Not that she hadn't before, but he wasn't really paying attention before. He let out a grumble, and after checking to see if the streets were busy shifted back to his human form. He shook his head and rolled his shoulders once he was back on two legs.

They were past modesty at this point, so he just stood there and looked at both vampire ladies. "Knowing Riku? Probably got bored of waiting and went to find some trouble. She'll turn up. Oh, and speaking of clothes... can you do that for other people too?"

Ron looked so hopefully at Shinobu right now.

[Aiden]

Muramasa Katase

The demon sword took note of where the wolf creature was staring - the bodies of her previous victims? How typical; this would not be the first time a youkai had followed in its wake to feast on what was left. "Hmm? Your carrion would have been just fine if you had left us alone, lazy dog. Now I believe you need to be taught a lesson."

And then its enemy became a canine too. Irrelevant.

just die already

Katase's shell leaped back so her feet struck the wall behind her, and then pushed off to propel herself toward the shapeshifting interloper with spear ready to impale the pesky thing.

[Kat]

Rikuyo

Oh, he doesn't fear her at all. Either she's braindead. That's what happens when you're lazy. If she really wanted to eat that, it would be a dick move to do rid of the food.

And naturally she did so. The body she was still holding started burning to cinders as she set it on fire with her chi. It would just more of punishment if she burned the other bodies as this city girl fought that mongrel. That would teach her!

[Cherry Lover]

Shirou

To Shirou's surprise, despite his caution, the woman seemed to notice him as he approached, turning around and aiming her fingers at him in a manner akin to how Tohsaka acted when preparing to fire her Gandr shots. Recognising her intentions, Shirou tensed up in preparation but, instead of firing on him immediately, the woman spoke.

"Well, howdy there", she said, surprisingly politely. "And what brings you here?"

Shirou pondered the question for a moment. Was the woman a bounty hunter, or was she here to protect the target? Shirou simply did not know. As such, he was wary of giving an answer with any substance.

"I'm just looking around", he said, not untruthfully. "What about you?"

[Panda]

Michael

Considering that she had already formed a spear from nothing, it was no surprise when the girl formed that sword into a spear, though it was curious that it had specifically been the blade that she'd formed from nothing. It seemed the other sword wasn't some sort of construct, which would fit with the odd feeling he'd been getting from it. That said, the fact that she'd managed to land at least a few cuts on Riku through the body shield was at least a little noteworthy.

As expected, the redhead was incensed by the interruption, and while he'd expected it, the confirmation that the cute girl with the sword would feel the same way was nice. Oren simply looked down at the bodies, however, Michael unable to help rolling his eyes as things clicked. While he couldn't blame the sword girl for her conclusion, the immortal found himself wondering just how many skins she'd been collecting behind their backs.

Of course, sword girl, now with a spear, went straight at Oren, though he couldn't help notice Rikuyo's bit of spite nonetheless, opting to burn the bodies as if to spite Oren. The display drew a slight smirk from him, Michael remembering how Oren had reacted when he'd denied her her fun back at the forest, part of him wondering if he'd see something similar here. Then again, the murderously cute girl didn't seem like she'd be keen on giving Oren room to shift to a bigger form, so she'd have to make do with what she had.

Hm. Maybe she'll end up using my techniques to compensate. It'll be worth it to see how sword girl here deals with it.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Oren

The rustle of clothes in movement. Cracking concrete. Burning flesh out in the air. The Lycan settled into a more aggressive posture at once at the first sound, and her eyes snapped to the girl with the sword. Oren lurched to the side as the elongated blade sliced through the air right where she had been standing a moment ago.

Rising to her full height the beast let out a baleful howl. She just wanted the skin safe. Was that too much to ask?

[Panda]

Annabeth

The tanned girl frowned slightly, eyes narrowing as she looked over the man. Admittedly, he wasn't too shabby to look at, but of far greater importance was what he was doing here to begin with. Her contacts had mentioned that her target had gone into hiding, but perhaps they'd hired people to keep hunter off their trail? Wouldn't be the first time she'd had to deal with that. Of course, there was the chance that he was going after the same target, but it seemed a fair bit less likely for someone who just happened across her like this. After a moment's consideration, she let her hand drop, her aura evening out again, though she didn't drop out of Ren just yet.

"Guess you could say the same," the Hunter said, keeping her eyes on the man, one hand coming to a rest on her hip, just above the grip of her revolver, "Looking for anything in particular?"

[yinsukin]

Medaka

Medaka responded to Shinobu's comment by thrusting her chest forward proudly and placing her hands on the sides of her hips, forming a wonder woman like pose.  "There is no shame in exposing my body to the world!"  She announced. '

She wanted to start their journey to find her soul.  However, it looked as though Ron wanted clothes first.  She turned her head, watching their interaction.
