Jeanne

She was doing a fine job of keeping him locked in place when she suddenly felt something, chains wrapped around her waist, pulling her to the ground. Not to be outdone, she used put her reflexes to use and jumped up, wrapping her legs around Shirou's waist while dragging him down with her. Still maintaining her hold on him, only now with her legs as well.

"Attacking from behind is a good strategy Shirou, but it's only half the answer~"

Shirou

Shirou blushed as his back pressed up against her breasts. He lifted his head up from hers and looked down at the smooth, silky legs wrapped around him. Just a touch wouldn't hurt anyone, right? He slowly reached down with one of his hands and felt her leg, slowly sliding it down, feeling the soft muscles of it. "You have... you have nice legs."

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

"Mhmm" His hand was sliding along her leg, feeling up the shape of her soft muscles, the touch was light and relaxing. "Building up good leg strenght is necessary for wrestling, it gives you a solid base to move one. I don't think you need that much strength training though, you're pretty well off in that regard." I'm going to have to work on his reflexes. She thought as his hand kept moving on her leg.

Shirou Emiya

Shirou nodded, still blushing slightly, now feeling her other leg. It was equally soft and toned as the other. "You have good muscles as well, Jeanne. What's your workout regimen?"

[SINIB]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka broke eye contact with Shinobu, looking off to the side and downward.  "Yes.  Actually I had a small skirmish with them yesterday.  They are good people but ill equipped to handle the dangers of this city."

Toe's cheap Lorenzo imitation echoed through her mind.  How are you any better?  You couldn't save me or the cops.

"Are...Are you looking to get doughnuts or money from them?  Why do you ask?"  She said, her voice had been drained of all its enthusiasm.  It was dry, lacking her usual confidence.

Relius Clover

The puppeteer effortlessly opened the doors to the castle and casually strolled in, marveling in the architectural design, as if visiting a museum.  He traveled from room to room, picking out details and cataloging them in the files of his mind.  Whomever owned this castle either has guests over a lot or simply has a lot of supernatural associates.  There was evidence of all sorts of events taking place.  However, his short attention span kept him from inspecting them beyond one or two mental notes.

After a while, he wondered upstairs, checking various bedrooms just to ensure that there were not a large number of people staying here.  It did not take him long to deduce that very few people actually rooming in the castle.  Regardless, he did not encounter anyone in his exploration.

Relius walked casually through the hall. His shoes clacked a little, echoing slightly thanks to the hall structure.  He turned to the right, facing down the last door of a room he had not yet ventured into.  The light was on inside.

Perhaps this is the owner's room. Curious, in the past I encountered the beast from before on a mere subway,  What variant of otherworldly beast lies beyond this door?

His excitement manifested itself in the form of a devilish grin as he softly opened the door.

Irisviel

"Sakura, is that you?" She asked as the door opened.

[Cherry Lover]

Rider

Rider smiled at Tony's chuckle, glad that he'd not taken offence to her little joke. But, her smile quickly turned into a frown when he asked the question again, more specifically this time.

Fortuna City? He must be from some other dimension..., she thought.

"Hmm, well, it's called 'The Nexus' but, honestly, I don't know much else. I only arrived here yesterday myself. From what I can tell, though, it's a city that sucks in people from many different dimensions without warning", she said, sure that Tony had been sucked here and trapped much like her master had been.

[Thedoctor]

Kuro

Kuro was about to respond to the hobo with the water gun when Mordred came back. She threatened the man, saying that Kuro was her friend and that he should chose his next words wisely. He doesn't look like the kind who would do that. She thought as she watched, waiting for what his response would be.

"Pftt...you win this time." He put away the water gun and climbed onto the pink tricycle, it made for a bizarre scene with how much he outdwarfed it. Then he started biking, his pace was comparable to that of a snail, as he slowly inched his way away from them. He then turned around with his upper body while still biking, apparently he was not done with them as he spoke once more while waving his arm in the air in what could only be assumed to be a threatening way.

"You're lucky I have a cold. Next time I won't go so easy on you." He said and then turned around, reassuming his slow biking pace, panting sounds could be heard from him as he slowly, very slowly, moved away from them.



Jeanne

Jeanne relaxed her legs as she felt him move his hand to her other leg. "My workout regimen? Do you want to try it out? I'm not actually sure you could handle it, it requires lots and lots of motivation~"

[yinsukin]

Relius Clover

"Sakura, is that you?" Said a voice on the other side of the door.

That was his cue.

The door flung open and from it emerged the puppeteer.  He took a few steps forward and gave a theatrical bow, as if standing before a wide audince.  "My name is Relius Clover.  A pleasure to meet you."

As he glanced up to see her response, he noticed something peculiar.  Her soul was... artificial in nature.  Or rather, it was far closer in structure to Ignis or Nirvana.  This could be interesting.

Medaka Kurokami

Someone who fought Shinobu must have been powerful.  At least, that is what the competitive side of Medaka wanted to think.  Truthfully, she would love nothing more than to spar with the vampire.  Regardless she continued.

"It seemed to have some high level acidic properties, as it destroyed everything it touched.  But I think there was more to it than that.  It was magical in nature... I think.  The girl who used it seemed to summon it from a chalice."  She said in a neutral tone.

[SINIB]

Shirou Emiya

Shirou's hands slowly crept back up her leg and moved to her thighs. He felt the slightly sweaty skin and gently massaged her upper leg. "Really Jeanne?" He asked with curiosity. "I'm pretty sure I can handle it, really. Mine is pretty intense as well."

[Kat]

Kuro was about to respond to the hobo with the water gun when Mordred came back. She threatened the man, saying that Kuro was her friend and that he should chose his next words wisely. He doesn't look like the kind who would do that. She thought as she watched, waiting for what his response would be.

Mordred

"Wow, that was bizarre." Mordred remarked as the weirdo slowly moved away from them. "Hey, I finally got that job. Even if I'm a probationary member so far. They said they will contact me when they will have assignment for me. Wanna come with me and find a place for stay? Someone called Matou is renting houses, apparently. Maybe I'll manage to cut a deal with them and find some place to crash. If you don't mind staying with me for a while, that is." The changeling suggested such course of action to her younger companion.

[Thedoctor]

Jeanne

She let out a small sigh as his hand crawled back to her thigh, the massage he was giving it was starting to feel rather nice. "Intense enough that you could keep up with me when we sparred, right?" She asked him teasingly.

[Panda]

Dante

The demon hunter cocked an eyebrow at that, taken somewhat off guard by the idea. The concept of worlds beyond the one he was familiar with wasn't exactly a foreign concept, but something like that...

"...Well, today really is full of new experiences," Dante noted, considering the situation for a moment, "I suppose you wouldn't mind pointing me in the direction of somewhere I could stay? Guess I won't be able to do the job I set out to, but there's no reason I can't open up a new branch here."

Then there's the problem of getting my business up and running again. Man, and just after I managed to pay for the repairs to the old shop, too...

[SINIB]

Jeanne

She let out a small sigh as his hand crawled back to her thigh, the massage he was giving it was starting to feel rather nice. "Intense enough that you could keep up with me when we sparred, right?" She asked him teasingly.

Shirou

Shirou laughed off Jeanne's tease. "We both know you only won because you're more skilled than me, Jeanne. Nothing we did was a test of strength." His hands moved to her other leg, and started massaging it.

[Elf]

Rin

Rin blinked as she felt Sakura wrap her arms around her.  She bit her lips as she felt her vision waver and she had to blink back tears.   The raven haired magus forced a smile as she returned the hug.  She whispered, "I tried to make it up to him . . ."

Then Sakura let her go.  She offered a wan smile and asked, "Maybe . . . you should make a place for me after all?"

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

"It is not simple because you have an illogical desire to overcomplicate the process. But that is irrelevant to the question. I desire to see you two enter a relationship in order to observe -" The construct stopped suddenly as she saw some redhead enter with a knight's arm. The girl was definitely not a knight in any way but such dangerous equipment should not be brought into public areas.

She rose up without a single wasted movement and floated over towards the newcomer with mechanical grace. "Your weapon is both dangerous and unsuited for a public setting. Surrender it to me or I will confiscate it by force."


Lumen

The Patchwork shifted a bit to put more of her weight onto the bar as she looked at the early customer. She wasn't entirely sure what youkai meant but she supposed that if there was anyone rowdy enough she could deal with them whether they were humans, monsters, or youkai. "I'll keep that in mind then. I'm Lumen and you're Yamanashi-san I suppose? Do you have any idea what's with those dragons and that tower? Mitsuba-san hasn't been very forthcoming about what's going on over there."


Numina

The redhead looked back for a moment just to see a sphere of blue fire streaking through the sky towards them. A harsh, startled sound escaped her mouth and her child came to a sudden halt and fell to the ground as she broke out until a sprint and leaped forward. The blue flame struck her back and exploded with enough force to send her flying forward and knock the prone newborn back.

Numina sailed through the air for a few scant moment before slamming back onto the ground and letting out an almost feral growl. As she began pulling herself up to a standing position off from the cold concrete she was beginning to think she really hated this wretched bitch of a fox.

She didn't hurt. Nothing really hurt anymore. But the charred hole in her back made her spine audibly wail like a beast as tongues of silver emerged from it and ran along the bones until they were pristine, and threads of flesh guided by meaty spiders emerged from her back and quickly began to weave the opening. It wasn't painful, but it was annoying. However, she didn't even have the time to do more other than send another twist of fate towards that incessant vigilante before familiar, scaled limbs lifted her up and began to run off with her carried in its arms.
