[SINIB]

Vanguard

Vanguard held his hand out as if to say please, then he proceeded to tell of everything he said and did ever since he was summoned in the manor up until his departure. Every. Single. Thing.

Only she could stop him, but there was no escape. She asked for this, and now she would have to face the consequences, even if her legs turned sore.

Well, maybe if she asked him nicely. Maybe.

Sakura Matou

Before even five minutes had passed, Sakura stopped him. "That's stuff that other people could know about. Tell me something only you or I could know about.

She knew what she wanted him to say, and if he was really vanguard he'd remember.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Vanguard

Vanguard frowned when she interrupted him, starting to feel a slight hint of annoyance. However, if he could feel such an emotion, his voice certainly didn't show it. It was as calm as ever, as a matter of fact.

"I don't know. If what you ask of me truly exists, I have no recollection of it. I've crawled from the jaws of death and-"

Vanguard stopped suddenly and glared at her like he had been sucker punched. Somehow, he looked a bit embarrassed, like she had just brought up something he had hoped to forget.

In fact, he kinda seemed pretty flustered about this whole thing.

"It's the letter isn't it?" He asked her flatly, as if he wished her answer was no.

[Panda]

Michael

"Of course," the immortal continued with a good-natured chuckle, "As for the rumor, well it's not much. Simply that one of those fool-hardy excavation teams that heads out to the outskirts of this strange melting pot to look for anything interesting that might have landed there have managed to find something very interesting. Well, not that interesting to me, but it definitely will be to others. From what I've found, that particular trip was due back a few days ago with the artifact, but it hasn't shown up yet. Really, it wouldn't be all that surprising if something happened to it, but it doesn't seem like that last part has spread to the general public yet."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Jasey

And then she vanished. Jasey wandered about in the Shift for a little while longer before speeding away in search of more targets. She really did need to get that done after all. So she flitted around from place to place looking for somewhere with a good amount of people and- there!

Nice apartment, lacking in a few safety codes, and filled with people. So Jasey simply shifted into the lobby and started with her bare hands. Skulls were smashed and bodies were pulverized. Then she took out the chainsaw.

[SINIB]

Noel Vermillion

"Ow, that sounds rough..." Noel said. She wondered if it was anything like being smelted. It sounded like it was. So Noel took ahold of Erica's hand, and observed her memories. Noel flinched. "Yup." She said quietly, sure the other girl wouldn't mind her intrusion.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Costin

The vampire frowned, disappointed she wouldn't get to have her try all these clothes. She was sure she'd look adorable in one of them! But just as she was about to prepare to leave, she heard something very familiar. Someone must've been causing a ruckus, to get everyone so excited all of a sudden.

Huh, screams? Hmm, nothing but fine music to my ears.

Then, a delectable scent trickled her nostrils, one that made her throat parch and her stomach crave such filling warmth inside her.

Blood, oh yess. Now we're talking...

And suddenly, she heard something beautiful. Something wonderful!

OH MY GOD IS THAT A CHAINSAW??!!!

Tears of joy streamed down the vampire's face, her red eyes tingled with so many emotions at once. Her fangs were bare, and almost seemed to grow larger and sharper, like knives meant to cut and tear and eat.

"I love this town. *snif* I really do."

If Rikuyo was anyone else, she'd have probably eaten her face by now. However, she was pretty cool, so she'd save her for later. She grabbed the girl's hand and barely managed to contain her trembling glee. Yes, there was no doubt, this was definitely a new holiday. She'd call it better Christmas, the one where she was allowed to kill people.

"You better not try to stop me, and don't interfere." She purred as she dragged Rikuyo out of the door along with her trusty metal bat. It almost sounded like she was in the middle of an orgasm. "I'm already getting tingly~!"

So they walked at a faster pace straight into the elevator. Judging by the smell's intensity, the fun should be right at the ground floor. Fu fu fu...

And so they waited, going down the elevator. Even if she was an undead monster without a heart, she could swear her chest was pounding like a drum! Still, she had to calm herself, it wouldn't be sweet at all if she spoiled the moment. Unwrapping presents is just part of the experience.

So she faced the elevator's mirror and trimmed her looks, adjusting her hair in order to make sure she'd look juuust right for the moment.

[Thedoctor]

William 

She mentioned the names of some girls who were most likely CPU's from the context presented. They probably weren't here though going by how she trailed off.

The other girl dissappeared in some rift, teleportation huh? He had seen it from time to time though it was quite rare.

"Say Noire how long would it take for you to be able to transform again?" Knowing her recharge time as it was would prove quite usefull.

"It would be easier to give pointers if you were in that state. Although my first impression would be that you could use those wonderful legs of yours to kick insteas of going for punches."

Noire

"Wh-what are you saying, idiot..." Noire glanced away from him yet again. "Geez, don't you know not to make a girl uncomfortable?" She asked him in her usual sassy tone of voice. "And well, ten, fifteen minutes, maybe? I don't really know, I've never really had this few shares before."

[Panda]

Nero

Nero honestly wasn't sure what surprised him more about the situation. The sheer suddenness of it, what the man was telling him, or how nonchalant he was about it.

"What?" was the the first thing he said after a long silence, "Huh, you're not kidding."

"Well, I'm not sure what a vampire is, but it sounds like some sort of demon," he shook his head, still a bit unsure even as he took Forest's hand in his left and shook it, his right hand lighting up with a flickering glow, visible even through the glove covering it, "And I don't know anymore about the arm than you do. Damn thing drives me crazy though."

[yinsukin]

Marcus

"Actually, it changes depending on the person," Marcus retorted with snide emphasis, if only to be confrontational.  He felt the need to get back after she played him.  He chuckled and said, "You know, im surprised you didn't ask about the aura.  I could have just been radioactive for all you know."

He tucked his hands under the back of his head as his pupils tilted downward towards the handshake.  "You know vampires can steal your strength through touch right?  She's probably taking your life force you know."

[Umbra of Chaos]

Erica

The girl froze for a moment as Noel held her hand. If anyone noticed in that moment they would see that she was completely and utterly still in a way that no human could be. Then she immediately turned a deep red and an unfamiliar warmth filled her cheeks.

She gently squeezed the blonde's hand, almost as if trying to make sure that it was actually there.

[Kotomine_Rin]

Lorenzo

"And what would that relic beee?" He asked the immortal, unable to contain his own curiosity. This seemed juicy, really juicy. Actually, maybe a bit too juicy.

"Hey, wait a second." He frowned, as if he just realized something. "Are you trying to pull one over me? I'll definetely get whatever this thing is, then you'll be all like congratulations only to snatch it from me. That's totally what I'd do anyways..."

[Aiden]

Neptune

Neptune looked on amused as he tried to be seductive as well. That distraction wouldn't work, not now. She knocked the controller away from his lap before straddling him once more like she had earlier in the day. Unlike that time something unexpected happened.

A bright light enveloped her form for a moment and when it receded, the fallen angel was greated by the visage of the CPU of Planeptune, Purple Heart.

Gone was oddly designed jacket, replaced by skintight revealing black bodysuit with what looked like mechanical wings attached to her back. Her hair now sported twin braids of an impressive length, while the color itself shifted into a darker hue of purple. Her eyes changed into something completely inhuman, strange symbols in place of irises.

"Now Gadreel, perhaps it's time you tell me how you fell?" Her voice was no longer carried the same bubbly energy as before. It had deepened, her commanding tone demanding an explanation.

Gadreel

The angel was at first amused and a touch excited by Neptune's sudden daring. Then he had to suppress his instinctive response to having something quite so unexpected occur in point blank proximity to him. The goddess was fortunate that he did not inflict rather grievous injury on her in the midst of her transformation by reflex.

Beyond that, he appeared relatively unphased by the change. Relatively being the operative word there as he leaned back to take in the sight of her once more. She seemed like an entirely different individual in some ways now. Someone accustomed to being obeyed.

"I suppose you did defeat me, and I do owe you an answer to that for it." He sighed, and allowed one of his hands to reach up and back toward her facsimile of wings. "I suppose I could say I fell because I felt humans needed help. So I taught them to fight, to use weapons."

His eyes almost appeared to look past her for a moment. "And then I ended up in a position quite similar to this one, and well... nine months is quite a time to wait."

[Elf]

Rin

"Fine, you get to veto a question," Rin said with a grin as she leaned forward.

She held up one finger and looked him in the eye.  "However, that doesn't mean that I can't find the answer myself."


Forest

Forest shook the young man with the unfortunate name's had and nodded.  "I wish we were kidding, but we're not. And no, I'm not a demon.  Other vampires kind of are, but that's multi-verse what-not."

She rolled her eyes at Marcus and said, "It's not like I can die of radiation poisoning, and you don't smell sick so I think we're of the good.  You do smell like a virgin though."

She smirked at him and thought, Bring it.  I think I'm ready this time.

[yinsukin]

Medaka

Medaka tilted her head at the couple, wondering what was happening.  Then her eyes widened with clarity as the blue haired girl's face turned red. 

"Oh."

The two were a couple.  Their chemistry was strange, but if there was one word to describe it, it would be uncanny.  It would be somewhat off putting if the two weren't so adorable to look at, even if it felt charmingly genuine.  Still, that little interaction made her curious.

The young vampire smiled and said, "You know, I am on my way home to make something special for my....companion.  Do either one of you know how to cook?"
