[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

Sakura skipped out of her house happily and ran down the path to meet up with Rin. "Nee-san!" She cried out, jumping into Rin and embracing her briefly before she let go of her, looking at her with a bubbly expression. "I'm glad you're back, I made a plate for you if you haven't eaten already." She said, looking up at the taller girl behind her sister with curiosity. She looked kind of unnerved by something.

"Hi, my name's Sakura Matou. She said with a smile, extending her hand to her. "Are you new here? I'd be happy to give you a place to stay until you get settled in, and give you a place to rent once you do, if you want." Sakura said. "I won't scalp you like alot of other landlords here."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Theodore
                                                                                                         
The demon was about to say something, but thankfull;y the redhaired girl didn't seem to be such a complete moron after all. While that fake shitty brat was really grating, but as long as she kept her in check he didn't care. However, their insistance on his supposedly bad smell was starting to get annoying.

"Hai! My name is Theodore dess, call me Teddy! Pleasure to meet you!" He said cheerfully with a bright fake smile, holding his hand out. However, it wasn't to shake her hand. One could have sworn it was empty, but on a second look, there seemed to be a cellphone he was holding!  He brought it sheepishly back to him and began to fiddle with it like a bored teenager.

"Say, what does your mom look like?" He asked with a sheepish nonchalant tone, contrasting his joyful attitude he showed a few seconds ago like he just flipped 180 degrees.

[SINIB]

Shiro

"Hmmph!!!" She turned her nose at him and closed her eyes, looking the other way.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Mary

The woman gasped and murmured between her breath, she didn't seem to have noticed the girl until she spoke and looked slightly frightened. "Thank you, you are so kind, but there was no need..."

She paused for a second and clung to her stomach. After a short while, she stopped shivering, or rather her trembling slowed down. She gripped the coat and tightened it around her generous figure and smiled at her.

"Sorry, I'm lost and can't find any shelter. Could you keep me a bit of company? I don't want to walk alone..."


Garou XIII

Garou just kept staring down without moving, barely glancing at the ice faggot before going back to his own designs.

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Thats right.  They are in the same position I am in.  How presumptuous of me.  From the other side of the door, she could hear the water running.

 "I am sorry.  I thought you were merely changing.  You must be busy washing yourself.  Ill come back later."  She said in a firm polite voice.  She turned around only to see Shinobu raising her voice to speak with at Irisveal.  "I could make clothes and underwear for you seeing as you need them Irisviel, oh and yes I can hear you."

It doesnt matter what she was doing in there.  Its a private bathroom.  Its none of her concern.

The blue haired girl casually walked over to the thermostat and raised it 2 degrees.  Then, she moved to the couch and faced the couple.  She spoke with a formal but relaxed tone of voice.  "You guys should get the master bedroom.  It looks like you guys had a rough day."

[yinsukin]

Relius Clover

As Relius walked closer, the souls base emotions became more visable.  The girl seemed to be on edge, protective.  In contrast, the thing between the girl and him actually seemed to be curious.  However, the interesting thing about the object before him is that the closer he got to it, the more it seemed to resemble Ignis.  Its skin looked human from a distance but had a more tin like quality.

It couldnt be right.

The scientist walked even closer, now just outside of arm distance.  Both of them were artificial.  It was plain as day. However, the properties of the soul would be impossible to ascertain without closer examination.

Now... What to do...

After stopping just outside of the creatures personal space, Relius finally addressed the thing before him.  "Oh?  Well, at this shop I make both dolls, masks and costumes. I have materials for all of these.  Which one can I help you to?"

[Umbra of Chaos]

Liseth

The first thing that came to Liseth's mind was that purple hair was about as pretty in real life as it was in anime. But all things considered it didn't seem like she was as bad as Rin's statement made it seem she could be. She suppressed any anxiety and walked out from behind the smaller girl to shake Sakura's hand.

Liseth made the attempt to smile at her but it was still a bit awkward and strained. "I'm Liseth, and yeah I'm a bit new. Met Rin at a bar and she offered to help me find a place. Do you have any preference in payment?"


Numina

The cultist gently patted Sakura on the head. She loved children, but human ones were so fussy. Much more fussy than she remembered. Maybe she was just spoiled by her own kids. They never gave her a hint of trouble. A hollow feeling began to chew at her insides as she thought of them and she bit her lip in annoyance and longing. "Sakura, please behave. Just tell Teddy about your mama so we can help you find her."

She waited a moment but nothing but silence greeted her for a moment. In her frustration she clenched her hand and fate was constricted. A few feet away structural flaws that had yet to be identified finally gave in and the roof caved in and nearly crushed a few unsuspecting shoppers. As people began to survey the mess she said, "Sakura, if you want me to help you then you have to let me. I can't and won't unless you accept this man's help."


Alarice

Alarice shrugged, but even that managed to look purposeful and graceful. Her movements were practiced and trained far too much to allow sloppiness to seep into her. "I am afraid I may not be of much help to you then, but I do suppose I can offer company. As I've already offered my aid it would be remiss of me to leave any work unfinished."

She stepped closer to the other woman and wrapped an arm around her waist. It was easier to share heat and keep her safe that way. "I am Alarice, and until you can find an adequate enough place I will do what I can to help you and protect you."

[Break]

Coppelius
As he scanned all over the two, the doll's feeling of deja vú kept growing. This man was truly similar; it was a feeling both sickening and warm, somehow.

And that was exactly why he felt not an ounce of fear from the twisted man's eyes. Instead, he answered with steadfastvoive, with the usual hollow echo of an artificial life-form:

"Then we have come to the right place indeed. I have been thrown here only recently, and require all of these anew, most of all... dolls. My creations all lay abandonded in London, after all."

[Kotomine_Rin]

Mary

Mary smiled and let Alarice wrap her with her arm, but not without a slight blush. But before the poor knight could even react, she returned the hug in kind, pressing her generous, warm soft chest against the girl's.

"Thank you, you are so sweet. Call me Mary, fufu."

And then, she gave her a kiss on the cheek.

[Thedoctor]

Kuro

"So you want the two of us to beat up vampires for you. What an incredible guy." She teased him again. "But sure show us this vampire hot spot of yours Corbin." She went up to him and tugged at his arm, dragging him with her out of the gym. She looked back at the blonde woman as she was dragging the man out." Hey Blondie, are you coming?"

[Umbra of Chaos]

Alarice

The noble felt heat rush into her cheeks at the inappropriate amounts of contact going on. She put a hand on the other blonde's shoulder and gently pushed her away. This was far too forward. Did she not understand the basic ideas of decency and personal space? "Please don't do that. It is far too improper for this kind of setting. Regardless, let us get out of this weather. Do you know where to go, Mary?"

[SINIB]

Shirou Emiya

"Mhm." Shirou said, slowly stopping and standing up. "That's too bad, I was having fun." He rubbed Jeanne's head tenderly. "We'll have to do it again sometime, huh? I'll be more than happy to indulge you all you want." He said with a happy smile.

[Aiden]

Ron

Well, good to know that changing back right away gets rid of the worst of it, the werewolf thought to himself. The whole chocolate and coffee poisoning thing had always been a worry of his, and he'd already had a bad time of it before. He hadn't thought to change back immediately though, because it had hurt too much to think straight. Now he knew!

"Glad to hear it, Rikuyo," Ron said with a grin. "And, sure, go ahead. I think we're almost there, anyway."

It was just an ordinary, if somewhat large, clothing store anyway. There weren't too many textile mills in the Nexus, but occasionally abandoned buildings would appear with no people to claim the contents of its wardrobes. That meant some people made a decent living for a week or two picking through the buildings for belongings to sell to the stores, if they didn't decide to move in and claim it all for themselves.

Fashion was, he was told, pretty weird here. Ron wouldn't know; he stuck to practical things.

When they did get there, well, it was Rikuyo's oyster. "Alright then," he said to her. "Surprise me."

[Kat]

Mordred

"Of course, I wouldn't leave you two to go there risk your hides without me." She wouldn't pass occassion some vampire menace. It would be even better if she ran into the particular vampire she wanted to rid of. Unlikely as it was to run into her just like that, there was still some odds of that happening.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin watched as Sakura came out to greet them and smiled.  She returned the quick embrace and felt how off this version of her sister's prana was, even more so than when she left.  Not off, but divided again.  As if . . .

Ice filled Rin's veins at the sudden almost cruel realization.

Fine, if he doesn't want to have anything to do with me, then I won't have anything to do with him.  I just hope Sakura knows what she's doing; she also has to keep Shirou regularly supplied.  Former Grail or not, that's going to to strain on her.  Well, she'll find that out the hard way.

"You know, saying you won't gouge right off the bat might make her think that you would," Rin said with a smile.  She turned to Liseth and asked, "Do you have any room for real food, or did you get you fill on sundaes back there?  If you hadn't you should really try their cooking, and what they left as a plate will probably be too much for me to eat by myself."


Corbin

"You're not going to do anything Little Bit unless I tell you too," Corbin said as he stopped, hoping to stop Kuro as well. 

He turned to Mordred and said, "Now, this may not be violent.  Sometimes I just talk to find out about other wankers."


Gabriel

"Already, Emily," Gabriel said with a smile as he kept stroking that nub.  He rolled hips as she clamped down around him like a vice, making him groan.  Yet he started to thrust as he was no where near completion yet.
