Emily

"Mhm, that would explain it," Emily mused with a sigh as Gabe toyed with her hair, the Changeling leaning into it contentedly, eyes drifting closed. What he said next, however, proved quite intriguing, Emily's eyes opening once more as she considered it.

"Hmm, so you were a spy?" the Changeling mused, "Honestly, I can't say I'm a fan of the concept of the Greater Good, but I'll admit that at this point, I at least have to acknowledge its existence when it comes down to the tough decisions. When it comes down to it, though, what matters is that you're satisfied with what you did. Were you?"

"...Though, upon further consideration," Emily mused, cracking a grin and intent on easing the tension a bit, "You as a spy kinda sounds like something out of a James Bond novel. Well, it probably wasn't like that, but still..."

[SINIB]

Rin

Rin sighed and said, "Not everyone at the Clocktower was like that though.  Even though she's my rival, I'd still - not to her face mind you - call Luvia a friend.  Roderick didn't care either . . . Even though half of the time he'd show up to my lab half beat up asking if I'd heal him.  Even though there were better mages at healing than me . . . "

She placed her hand on Sakura's shoulder and said, "Well, if Faust wasn't the lech that the legends paint him as, I probably would."

Sakura Matou

Sakura's expression softened and she smiled. "I'm glad to hear that." She said. "And as per usual, the legends were wrong about him. Mostly. He never once made a lewd remark about me. He always was an upstanding gentleman and super supportive, almost like a father to me.

I'm sure he would have treated you the same way he treated me." She said.

[Elf]

Gabriel

Gabriel laughed and said, "You're not the first person to say I seem somewhat like James Bond.  Now, which James Bond is the question?  Silly Roger Moore Bond, Sean Connery Bond, Edgey Timothy Dalton Bond, Suave Pierce Brosnan Bond, or Daniel Craig Bond."

He tilted his head and said, "I actually shy away from killing if possible.  I was exposed to a fair amount of bloodletting as a child and I am not a fan of senseless violence."


Rin


"I wish I could have actually met him then," Rin said with a soft smile, stroking Sakura's hair.  "Kirei was a manipulative bastard who only taught me bajiquan.  Which can be super useful in a duel when the caster takes ten seconds to cast but I can punch his throat in less than five."

[SINIB]

Sakura Matou

"Pssh." Sakura laughed. They're not a very good magus if they can't deal with something as simple as that, are they?" Sakura giggled. "No matter how crazy their trick is, if the counter is that simple it's worthless. That's something Faust taught me."

[Elf]

Rin

"Well, some of those 'old school magi' are completely clueless when it comes to hand to hand," Rin said with a smile before snorting.  "Except Luvia.  I swear her family line is part gorilla . . .  And sometimes it's just good to have an extra trick up your sleeve.  Apparently one of the top tier magi in the fourth war was taken out by literally a man with a magic gun."

[Panda]

Emily

The Changeling was stopped cold by the question, as it was definitely one worth thinking about. Well, that and it had been forever since she'd watched one of the Sean Connery Bond films. From what she could tell, Roger Moore and Thomas Dalton were more or less right out from the get go. Daniel Craig had a charm of his own, so maybe some of that, though Pierce definitely fit, all things considered.

"Hmm...to be perfectly honest," Emily said, unable to help a giggle at the strangeness that the current conversation had taken, "You've got a bit of Craig's brand of charm, but I'd have to say Brosnan for the most part. Maybe some Connery mixed in too? It's been a while since I've seen one of those Bond movies, so my memory's a bit hazy on him. Oh wait, no. Not Connery. What little I do remember made me question if the man was familiar with the concept of consent."

Then the last part registered, the Changeling's face suddenly taking on a degree of concern, "Bloodletting? Why would you be exposed to something like that as a child? Someone's rituals, or something else?"

[Panda]

Seras

The vampire shrugged, taking a moment to tie up the bag of food nice and tight and hold it out of the aircraft, assuming that its original intent was to carry the food. Either that, or those pilots had a hilariously fast response time.

Reaching out with her senses, the vampire could feel the hum of a working fridge on the other side of the wall. Briefly tempted to just grab the fridge too, the vampire shrugged off the temptation. Fun as it would be, it would also draw unwanted attention, which Seras got the feeling that these little...soldier things had a definite problem with.

Coppelius

"Sure" the doll absent-mindedly noted

"the bodies come next after all. Lead the way, Mr. Clover."

[SINIB]

Oka Kurosawa

Oka opened her mouth to correct Rider, but Jin preempted her with the right answer. She nodded after he finished, and changed her stance somewhat. She hadn't realized how tired he was, she now felt bad for coming onto him so hard. "Yeah." She said. "Have a good night, Rider."

[Thedoctor]

Kuro

Mordred sighed and began with the age old "this story is long so I'll tell you the importnat bits instead". She didn't look to comfortable telling Kuro about her past, however the girl leaned closer displaying her attention. She compared her mentor to a knight and herself to a squire, Mordred kinda did act knightly so the description was somewhat fitting. She then went on to praise Kuro's skill which made the girl smirk. "Yeah I'm great aren't I? I'd have to say both yes and no, I was given learned experience from elsewhere during the creation of the body I have right now."

Shinobu

The vampire's excitement rose further as Medaka started fondling her breasts. The hand that briefly brushed by her still clothed slit caused a short intake of breathe for her. Her nipples hardened as the massage of breasts continued. Shinobu then felt herself get pushed down on the bed, allowing it to happen, she felt the soft covers of the bed as she sunk down. "Look who's being naughty here, do you enjoy pinning me down?"

[Thedoctor]

Archer

The woman lazily accepted the coins back, she didn't appear to have much motivation to continue the conversation yet she questioned him what he was doing there if there wasn't a war going on. She clearly knew about him being a sevarnt. If Rin and Sakura had told her, that must mean she most likely wasn't a mundane person, with that in mind he answered her question.

"Just because we're heroic spirits of legend bound to a vessel, doesn't mean we don't have personalities. We were after all humans once." Well most of them were, but he didn't feel like going that deeply in detail about it at the moment. Furthermore he wasn't quite sure how much he could trust her.


Jeanne

Shirou was indeed right about that, the was still young. Jeanne found herself nodding in agreement over that. Choosing which one to taste first would be harder unless....right that would work out nicely. The blonde grinned at her brilliant plan. "I will leave that to my esteemed knight Sir Shirou Emiya" She teased him while using the western way of pronouncing name.

[Kat]

Petra

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot about that. Sure we can do it. Maybe at the place I will rent. Don't worry, regardless of whether I win or I lose, I will still have will and energy to boot you out. Sorry, my apartment is my castle." Petra declared, unwilling to shelter Dante. She would finally have a night of rest after that whole fucked up Grail War. She deserved some break.

[yinsukin]

Medaka Kurokami

The gasp awakened something in Medaka as she witnessed Shinobu's physical reaction.  Her nipples hardened and she exhaled in a deep, audible breath.  "I.. think so.  I want to see that reaction again.  Besides, you can take punishment just as well as I can right?  I wouldn't be surprised if you liked it rough."

Wait?  Is this like real sex?  Is this not a game?

The blue haired girl continued to massage the breasts, not even waiting for a response.  Or rather, she wanted to see if she could concentrate while having her body pleasured.  She squeezed her breasts once more, releasing her lustful ecstasy in her breath.

This is fun.  I don't want to stop.

"Do you like it?"  She asked with a hungry look in her eyes.

Relius Clover

Relius courteously opened the door, allowing his guests to pass through.  Scattered around the land in the back were all sorts of strange parts, things he was experimenting with last night.  Most of them were puppet parts for Ignis, others were for himself and some were for a possible new design.  The parts lying on the ground varied in shape and color but had a prevailing theme of pink.

"Your not just looking to acquire new parts for yourself are you? You are looking to give birth to something separate from your own body.  Am I incorrect?"  He asked, now that they were finally outside, away from the other customer within the store.

Operation: SUCCESS

Once the giant latched the sack of food to the Pelican, the Squad Leader kicked bundles of rope over the side of the dumpster - The other fairies began rappelling up them, the Leader giving a hand helping them over the lip. All the while, the dropship got close enough for them to leap aboard. Soon, the only one left on the dumpster was her.

The Leader saluted the blondie, before boarding the craft herself. From there, the Pelican went to the lamppost where the Sniper was positioned. The mission was a success, and soon their cruiser would get the food she needs. Of course, them being seen would be a secret kept between the fairies; it was a runaway success, their reputations will be maintained.


Lone Wanderer:

And with that, the tubing was blown out. After putting everything back together, Jeremy was about to re-screw in the outer plate when he heard voices coming in through the back door.

Well, shit, that's the only way to get back into the store. The Lone Wanderer knows that people don't take kindly to others messing with their stuff without permission, even if he was fixing things for free. Play it cool, wait here until the voices get quiet before sneaking back in.

Coppelius

The doll curiously looked around the back atelier, taking in the various unfamiliar and familiar designs he could make out among the scattered parts. A mischievous grin like that of a child finding a treasure trove of toys crept on his face as he was led through the spacious room.

"Yes, of course; I am already whole, after all."
