"Um, why does it feel like you have different motives here than me, Breeze?" Sakura teased her friend weakly. "I feel like this one would look nice too!" She held up a nice plain white swimsuit, with nothing special about it.

Auspicious Breeze

"Ehh? What? We're here to try on and show off nice swimsuits!" Breeze's smile was really earnest there. "I just happen to really like seeing you in it too, that's all. You look great."

Then she tilted her head at the white one... what size was it? "Hmm, that one might be nice too. It kinda teases at how awesome your body is without giving it all away."

Roderick

Heat filled his cheeks as the lovely blonde grabbed him and pressed her lips against his.  His eyes widened and he was left blushing as Brutae separated from him only to deliver a wicked right hook to Olgamally's smug face.

Then something the "Servant" said made Roderick frown.

"Wait, she withdrew her support of you?  Is that not dangerous for you?  What a careless Master," Roderick said with a sigh before looking her in the eye.  "I thank you for your assistance and I apologize if it seemed I was ignoring you, that was not my intention."

The trip to their new "base" was without incident, but it left a lot to be desired.  As Grigori spoke with Olgamally, he walked around, casting Mend and Prestidigitation, slowly yet carefully cleaning and restoring the place to what it once was.  He had a feeling that none of the three women he was currently with would do "mundane" tasks such as this, plus he needed to something or he would find himself in a shouting match with Olgamally.


Gabriel

Gabriel eyed Annabeth and said, "This person isn't a 'fellow', but my Godmother."

From how he said "Godmother", the tone of his voice and the infliction of the word, it sounded as if he actually "Mother" instead.

"On her world she was a very and dangerous predator in an increasingly shrinking and familiar pond.  Like an orca in a koi pond I suppose.  Here she is a small fish in a rather dangerous and deep ocean filled with monsters," Gabriel said, one hand clinching into a fist.  "She's having trouble coping and has gotten in to trouble.  She has saved me innumerable times in the past; this is the least I can do to repay the favor."


Rin

Rin offered Joe a weak smile as he poked her shoulder.

She knew Sakura approved of him.  She wondered if Sakura would approve of him because he was someone who liked her, someone who kept Rin from being the Spinster Christmas Cake.  A sigh escaped from her lips.

She wouldn't want him anyway, Rin thought.  One thing was that Joe wasn't Sakura's precious Sempai.  Another thing was Joe wasn't from their world.  As in he wasn't a magus. 

If this went anywhere, Rin would have to keep constant vigilance on keeping Joe safe if Joe tried to run in the same circles she did.  Another thing was the thing that hung above her like the Pendulum in that Edgar Allan Poe story, the fact she needed an heir to the Tohsaka line to past the crest too.

Joe wasn't a magus.  He didn't have any circuits or the like.  Even though chances were at will that Rin inherited the "super womb" that silly twit that gave birth to her did, it was better to have two exceptional parents instead of just one.  Which meant that Rin would have to find a donor and go through that mess.

Sorry Joe, unless you get a surrogate, if you're with me, you can't have your own kid . . .

Instead she sighed and said, "It really is suffocating.  Especially . . . she has a Servant that . . . well a version of was mine.  It kind of hurts seeing someone who had your back and die for you kind of treat you with teasing indifference at best even if you know it isn't the same person."


Forest

Forest grinned at Marcus's comment as she felt him poke her rear end with his length.  She tilted her head at his thoughts and said, "Copying my regeneration can be fun and whatnot, but yeah, that part is gonna get annoying.  And you might regret it tomorrow if you're dehydrated."

Then she flicked him on the nose with a grin.  "Don't be so quick to ditch your virtue.  I still wish that I had a choice in the matter."

Marcus

All of the sudden, he frowned, glaring at her with a look of suspicion.  "I didn't say anything about your regeneration," he said, his hand slowly drifting away from her back.

The virginity comment would have to wait.

Joe

Joe's eyes widened at her response as he said,  "Wait, so you knew one of them?  Or at least another version?  Was that why you had such a problem with Ruler?"

That would explain why she got so mad at that servant.

Rafalia

His impetus took her by surprise, but Rafalia giggled into the dance steps, accompanying William with a spring in her twirls. As he dipped her waist down and loomed over her, she calmly analysed his face. It was a soft, but handsome examplar, chiseled to an almost boyish but cunning beauty. It was nothing like Alaric's, but it made her think of him and smile.

"I am a faerie, of course. But I am also a trial, and the executioner who reigns over it. What about you? Are you a lawgiver, a leader? A hero?"
[13:38:37] Helligator: Depends on the god, but gods by definition in Nasuverse are strong because they have divine authority.
[13:38:48] Kat: Even the toilet god?
[13:38:56] Helligator: No one worships toilets.
[13:39:00] Helligator: Don't be a shitlord.

[04:32:08] Helligator: I can't make dragons in power armor like this

[19:50:12] francobull III: [...] why are you being all assive aggressive?

[23:32:37] Helligator: use the narrative as a means to convey an interesting story and cool conflicts with the openness you're allowed
[23:32:43] Helligator: not to CHEAT stories and conflicts

Forest

Sod it all . . . I could erase his memory for the past minute . . . Or tell him the truth, but that means he'll get telepathy, which isn't exactly as fun as it sounds . . . Forest thought.

She said, "Well, I mean, you'd have to be right?  Being able to get it up again so soon after shooting off.  Not even teenage boys can recover that quickly, if I remember my internet searched biology and sex ed, thank you very much."

Then she laughed, hoping he'd take the bait.


Rin

"No, I was more pissed at Ruler for dropping by for no reason.  I'm fairly certain that Sakura didn't send her to spy because that would just piss me off enough to where I wouldn't talk to her," Rin said with a shake of her head.

"She didn't need to check on me, you know," Rin said before smacking her fist into her open palm.

Marcus

"Uh huh," he said with a raised eyebrow.  "And how do you know it comes from the regeneration?  I know your not hiding a dick under there."

That was the first time she laughed at her own jokes.  Another strike.

Joe

Joe laughed, genuinely endeared to Rin's feisty personality.  "I thought she was just saying hi," he said, feeling the need to defend her after she backed him up like that.  "After all, Sakura seemed to be sizing me up when she came."

All of the sudden, he shuttered.  God, im glad she liked me, he thought.

Engetsu

The poor demon had no say in this. From being mercilessly dragged away again to having his own kitchens overtaken, the poor demon learned true despair and left himself in a corner, a dark cloud of anguish looming over him as all he could do was watch. No matter what happened, no matter how good the food tasted, things would never be the same.

You caused this.

Waka

He didn't notice that stuff. He just put some meat on the grill. After a moment Waka put some greens there too. Maybe a little bread. Grilled bread was good. The flavor could sink in that way. Waka had to be careful not to break anything, but if it was cooking he was good at that. So it all worked out.

Waka thought it was a good way to pay them back for the sake. Even if it was offered for free. "Maybe salt...?"

Forest

"Considering I know what other vampires - who were blokes by and by - had told me, that's where I'm pretty sure where that comes from," Forest said before placing her hands on her hips.

She leaned closer to him and added, "It could also be the increased stamina as well."


Rin

"I know Sakura was sizing you up while she came.  That also pissed me off!  It's not like I brought a vampire home or something," Rin replied.  "I can make my own choices. Not to mention she could have terrified you, popping in and out of the shadows like that.  At least I try to appear somewhat normal and poised when I meet new people to help them feel more at ease."

Stamina Her soft husky voice echoing through his ear caused his length to throb in anticipation.  Yeah, definitely turning it off when I am done.  he thought.  That pose didn't help him either.

His hand moved to the back of her head, grabbing her hair with a greedy grip.  He pushed her head into his, pressing their lips together with his own hands.  His tongue reached for hers, exploring her mouth out of pure instinct.

Joe

Wait, she didn't notice I was actually scared?!

He suddenly puffed his chest out and gave an unusually confident smile.  "Y-yeah," he said.  "That is awful.  It could have been really scary, especially when you just flaunt your shadow powers instead of using the front door.  That would be just unnerving."

Ron

"Well, that's one way to make enemies in this city. Trying to prove you're the big game in town brings all the games in town around." He sighed, shaking his head cause he'd seen that happen before. "Couldn't tell you how many times I got my ass beat in high school over that. Well, I learned how to live with that then too."

Ron shrugged. "Well, what the hell? I'll let you know if I find anything out on my end. You might want to encourage her to lay low for a bit though."

Neptune

"I know right? But my friends can't see the greatness in hanging out and keeps themselves locked up with their own business. Especially Noire, she really needs to get out more and get some friends." The purple haired goddess happily replied to him. But it would be best to hold the patrol right now, her protagonist senses were tingling, and they were never wrong. Never. Too bad no one ever believed her.

 That only left force as an option. Neptune grinned and began pushing the angel down from the roof by the stairs, she would not be stopped by an obstacle as lame as her boyfriend's consent, they were going. "Hurry up Gaddy, the patrol won't do itself."

Gadreel

"Without enjoyment, no amount of duty suffices." He was likely to say more on the matter, but then Neptune quite insistently began to pull him along. Ah well, such was life; his profound statements were always being followed by either mundanity or absurdity. Or a mix of the two outcomes.

He found himself not so much dragged as encouraged to follow her in a particular direction. It was inevitable between how much stronger Gadreel was in this form and how much taller he was in general. Still, he had no reason to deny her. "Oh, very well then. Let us seek our quarry..."

The beginning of the patrol was, of course, investigating the local businesses before closing time. With the sun setting it was getting to be time for people to trickle out and head home. "That, dear Neptune, is when people are often most vulnerable. Predators will wait for weary people, distracted with the notion of rest, who might be most easily preyed upon ..."

Grigori 
 
 Well, that was rather anticlimactic. Grigori wasn't too surprised at that result all things considered, but the kiss at least assured her that Brutae was a terrible flirt.

But at least they didn't waste time waiting for Olga to wake up. She woke up as they made their way to the warehouse and they cleared it of the garbage inside.

Surveying their ramshackle building Grigori nodded once. "This is going to take a little bit of work. I don't suppose you have anything in mind for how this reconstruction should go, Lady  Animusphere?"

They had already woven enough wards around the site to keep prying eyes at bay. Now they just needed to consider what they wanted out of this.

"Oh, and you didn't win but I think it would be a waste to withhold this from you. Take it." And she held out the now enhanced  barrier array to Olga.

Olgamally Animusphere

"Eep!"

The girlish squeak was the only sound she was able to make before everything went black. It didn't take long for her to wake up, looking flustered and confused for a fraction of a second before she figured out what had happened and what was going on.




"It's probably pertinent to make it something inconspicuous for now. We have no clue how strong people are around here, after all. Let's play it safe." Olga responded to Grigori's question while she idly scratched runes into a pile of pebbles she'd gathered, putting them into her pockets after finishing with it.

She was really glad Roderick had gone to do his own thing. He'd brought out the worst in her, and she felt rather embarrassed by her ridiculous bluster about the duel. What had she expecting to prove, anyway? He clearly sucked. He was a pitifully average magus. The way she'd been acting was completely unbecoming of a magus such as herself, and brought shame to her family name. She couldn't let herself have another outburst like that.

She was brought out of her self reflection by the other mage's kind gesture of generosity. She gently took the stick, and after briefly activating the spell engraved upon it with a small amount of magic, reinforced the stick just to be same and put it in the same pocket as the pebbles. She'd be studying it later.

"Thank you." The white-haired teen said genuinely. "So were you thinking of just rebuilding the entire thing by scratch? I think we could start a pretty good base with the building we have here. It's got a solid foundation and they didn't skim on the building materials." The teen furtively glanced down at the other girl's chest, checking her out.

Lucy

Well, Lucy didn't actually have a ton of money. But she had hallucinations and that's all that matters in the end. So she just made everyone else ignore this little transaction as she had both the cashier and Noire imagine that she was handing him a bunch of money.

Just needed to keep a Messenger under the floorboards to make sure that would hold. "Alright! Back to the castle, Noire?"





Paladin

With a silent cry Paladin dropped his shield and charged in with his blade, allowing the ice around them to fuse to the blade until it was the size of a zweihander. Then he brought it down on the golem with all of his strength.

Noire

"Sure. Lead the way." Noire followed the other girl out of the store, unaware of the evil act that had just transpired and in which she'd inadvertently taken part in.

Oka

The purplehead threw her pokeball in such a way that it hit the Regice at the exact moment that paladin's sword impacted it, pulling the pokemon into the ball in a flash of red light.

One.

Two.

Three.

Click.

With that final click, Oka collapsed onto the ground, the adrenaline that had been sustaining her up until this point instantly abandoning her. Her heart was pounding.

"God that was tough!" Oka exclaimed, reaching over and lovingly stroking Wormy's fuzz right where he enjoyed it the most. "You did great work there." She told him. "I'm gonna make you a feast when we get out of this cave."

Sakura Matou

"You look like a sketchy hipster fool." Sakura said to him, rolling her eyes. "You have the worst fashion sense. Take the glasses off. We both know you don't need them. And that white suit looks terrible on you, don't tell me you were planning on getting interviewed looking like that, please." Sakura scolded him honestly. She wasn't gonna pull her punches here. That'd be no fun.

"Pure white with your skin-tone just looks bleh. You need to get yourself a black suit or something."

"Um, why does it feel like you have different motives here than me, Breeze?" Sakura teased her friend weakly. "I feel like this one would look nice too!" She held up a nice plain white swimsuit, with nothing special about it.

"Ehh? What? We're here to try on and show off nice swimsuits!" Breeze's smile was really earnest there. "I just happen to really like seeing you in it too, that's all. You look great."

Then she tilted her head at the white one... what size was it? "Hmm, that one might be nice too. It kinda teases at how awesome your body is without giving it all away."

IRON=SAKURA

"Eeehhh, what does that mean? Are you thinking naughty things about my body right now?" Sakura said as she gently karate-chopped Breeze's head. She was quite aware of the irony of her complaint as she stood in the store wearing only this skimpy swimsuit. "Maybe you should try this one on instead. I kinda like the one I'm wearing right now, I don't think it'll break too fast. Seems well made."
