[Umbra of Chaos]

Lucy

And the face pats were back in full force. "I've had better. Kisses all begin to feel the same unless someone makes them more interesting. Now then, since you're so pleased by my little gift I think I deserve a name."

Then the Messengers were back. Slipping in and doing their best to just bend the redhead's will slightly, make her more likely to listen and obey.


Erica

She gave a short, dutiful nod at that statement. The Spirit Vessel had learned better than to argue with Noel about things involving her property. So she walked in and seated herself in a chair while simply observing. She looked at Noel for as long as it would be polite before beginning to look around the house a bit.

"You have a lovely home, Noel." Well, not everyone might see it exactly as she did but from Erica's perspective there was no better place to stay than one that had been taken care of by the blonde.

[Aiden]

Mordred

And so they went to a roof. There was no really other option since Breeze wasn't too keen on walking that far, apparently. "You know, I think you're mistaken about something. I'm not a sorcerer. My abilities are not a magic, for starters."

Mordred started explaining the situation to Breeze, taking small step instead of bombarding her with revelations too fast. She'd show her the truth a bit later, after she explained some things first.

Auspicious Breeze

"Ohhh. That's sneaky of you." Breeze gave her a teasing little glare for a moment, before reeling her humor back in and nodding. "Okay. So it's just sorta something you can do, then? That's pretty cool too."

But the former gladiator remained attentive and waited for the rest of it.

Noel Vermillion

"Thank you!" Noel said cheerfully, prancing her way to the kitchen, absolutely ecstatic to be able to cook for someone. As she threw on her apron, Noel called out to Erica in the living room, "Make yourself at home!"

[Thedoctor]

William

And here he found himself dragged to a table as he watched this unusually strong girl order three double milkshakes. He really doubted she'd ever be able to dwon all of those but he wouldn't back down from a challenge like this, not in a million years. "In that case I will have four super double chocolate-mocha milkshakes. Yes I feel that would be the perfect number."

[Thedoctor]

Shinobu

She was swept along if only for a moment in the enthusiasm shown by the younger vampire as she flipped off the table, and the faint trace of a smile graced her face. "Do you have any idea on where to go now? We've played dress up already..." She left sentence hanging, curious as to what Medaka might come up with. All traces of her own tiredness were almost entirely gone now, maybe she had exagerrated it out of pure lazyness.

[Thedoctor]

Neptune

"Oh wow you actually have it, I totally regret saying all those bad things about you now. I'm so sorry Gaddy." With that out of the way it was time to move onward to the good part. She shot up like a rocket and assumed the hype pose, with her left foot on the bench next to Gadreel's lap and her right foot on the bench's backrest next to Gadreel's head while pointing to the sky dramatically.

"Yes we (by we I mean I) will enjoy the pudding mix of vanilla and chocolate. Nothing can stop us (me) now, Not Histy, not my sister, not even a dogoo invasion!"

[Cherry Lover]

Shirou

Shirou was momentarily put-off by the formality the Sakura look-a-like was showing him, but he nevertheless smiled back at her, stopping stroking the Pokemon in order to pull out his card. They didn't have much money in their account, but he had enough to pay for the Pokemon, just about, and he still had the bounty to collect, so they should be fine.

"OK, thank you", he said with a smile as he took the card reader, entering his details.

Then, having paid, he moved to pick up the small creature, holding it gently in his arms.

"You're going to be our new pet!" he said, cooing at the Pokemon as if he was talking to a baby. "My wife will love you, I'm sure."

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

Medaka pursed her lips, hooking her fingers around her chin.  "Well, since it looks as though you are feeling better, perhaps we can play a game?" she asked.  Truthfully, she wanted to play this whole time.

[Aiden]

Sakura Matou

Sakura smirked at him triumphantly. She didn't say any words as she handed the waiter her debit card, gloating at her victory, being the exact opposite of graceful. After she paid, she flashed a smile at Ron, and shook her head. "Don't worry about it. It's no big deal at all."

Ron

Truly, this girl was the worst sort of winner: The kind who lorded it over you after the fact. That it meant he didn't have to pay for lunch was entirely beside the point. Though it did make her curious how she had gotten so much money in just a few years. The magic, maybe? Anyone with enough to need to put it in a bank account like that without being here a decade or two was definitely making a lot.

It was then that Ron had the thought of Sakura running a gang full of girls who all dyed their hair purple to emulate her and beat people up over territory. He couldn't help his own snickers after that one. "Is, is Rider your ah, only 'servant'?"

Sakura Matou

Sakura giggled at what she was about to say to Ron. She knew it would confuse him to death but she just couldn't resist doing it.

"Nope, of course not. I have three servants. The other two are named Jeanne and Archer. You'll probably meet them at some point, hehe~"

[Elf]

Forest of the Past

The ancient Scot shrugged and answered, "I wouldn't say psychic monster per say.  There are people who are immune to probes or don't broadcast.  It's kind of rare, but it does happen.  It could just be some bloke.  Or it could be some scary thing as well."

She frowned, wishing that she had brought her magnum, but she had the pistol she confiscated. 

I have a bad feeling I might be under prepared for this.


Rin

Rin felt her cheeks heat up as Joe looked her over.  She took pride over her form, but some guys felt threatened by girls who were as athletic as she was.  One magus she had dated had been; the stuffy wanker had even suggested that she should "calm down". 

She only went on one date with him.

She then laughed at his comment and answered, "Well, I'm training at 'life' I guess.  A magi's body is one of her greatest assets.  Not only are there times where I'd need to defend myself, a lot of magecraft is physically taxing and potentially dangerous as well.  As for bubble tea . . ."

The flush on her cheeks darkened as she looked down at her hands and shook her head.  "I didn't want to appear childish."


Forest of the Present

The vampire studied her two guests.  Anastasia was trying to be polite, if forcefully so, the peck blond however had a manic gleam in his eye.  He seemed leery of the savory pie, which made Forest wonder what was in it.

Considering the Nexus it could be rat, Forest thought with a tilt of her head.

She wondered if it had garlic in it.  Considering what she'd learned watching Food Network, it was pretty likely that it did.  Garlic was an annoyance to her, even if it was ingested, but she really didn't want to deal with that unpleasantness.

"What's in it?" Forest asked with a tilt of her head, "I have to be careful about what I eat."

Ron

Blink. Blink.

"Do they also have purple hair?"

Inquiring minds needed to know the answer to this! It was absolutely necessary for the werewolf's continuing mental stability.

[Panda]

Annabeth

Under other circumstances, the world of shadows that Gabriel had pulled them into might have alarmed the Hunter at the very least. As it was, however, it sparked only wonder in Annabeth, the tanned girl holding on tight as they moved through the strange place and wound up in what looked like a hotel, the cowgirl suppressing a hiccup upon arrival. Of course, that did nothing to stop her from giggling at the sight of what appeared to be...

...think that's a trampoline? Strange place to put one...

Trying and failing to get it under control for all of a few minutes before she finally managed to stifle it somewhat, Annabeth was soon overtaken by a growing blush, though she couldn't really stop her cheek from twitching with barely restrained giggles, still regarding the out-of-place object.

"That's a handy way to get around," the Hunter noted, trying to maintain what was left of her composure, or at least her closest approximation to it.

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

She wasn't exactly sure how to make herself feel more at home than she already was but Erica was sure she could manage. Her rigid and somewhat dignified posture was allowed to slouch just a bit as she did her best to... relax.

[yinsukin]

Joe

So you have to train your to be a mage?  He thought to himself as he listened to her response.

Joe couldn't help but smile at her adorable head turning.  "Well I did just drag you on a boat ride," he said with a chuckle.  "You don't have to worry about that around me."

As they finally approached the table, Joe pulled out the chair for her.  He was totally going to use this chance to check out her ass as she walked in front of him.  Then, he would move to his and sit down.
