One Shackle (backdated to Tuesday)

[godlyreigns]

I - [action for 769 Bunker]

[Rider was instantly on edge. Feeling no connection to Sakura, and waking up next to a strange man probably did the trick. So the instant she regains full consciousness, she springs out of bed.]

[a) Jonathan - your new notwaifu has acquired a kitchen cleaver and is pointing it at you.] Answers. Now. What have you done with me? Where is my Master?

[b) Sealand - your notmom is padding around the house, wearily. When she sees you, wherever you are, she stops and looks quizzical.] Are you the one they think is my son?

II - [phone - morning]

[Rider's voice is calm, but has an edge of intense worry and anxiety.] Is someone named Sakura Matou in this town? I must find her, immediately.

III - [florists - the next afternoon]

[She'd gotten a call the previous day, asking why she hadn't come in for work at the flower shop. So, dutifully, she'd went there. However, she looks ridiculously uncertain. Her steps have a certain tentative air to them, and she looks like she's not even sure she's in the right building.]

Ah...hello? Does anyone work here...?

[If you happen to be going there for whatever reason, feel free to bump into the confused lady who knows nothing about her job :<]

Who seeks Sakura Matou?

[ Asks a deep, powerful voice, with just a hint of menace within it. ]

[godlyreigns]

Her Servant. [Rider's own voice is dripping with venom. WHO is this person?]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Ah, good. [ The menace goes away, replaced by... cheerfulness? ]

Rider, yes? A pleasure to hear your voice again. This is Garviel Loken.

[gandere]

What business do you have wit--

Rider!?

[ She sounds surprised - as though she wasn't expecting to hear Rider of all people on the phone. ]

[godlyreigns]

[Owowowow her ears.]

Yes. It's me.

[gandere]

[ Sorry, she's just surprised. So much that she sounds almost as though she's on the verge of tears. ]

Y-You're back then?

[Gil walks into the florist....flowers for Saber and Flonne....and makes a face at Rider.]

Bleh, it's you.

[godlyreigns]

[Slow turn around.

The voice is not familiar in the least, but...]

[godlyreigns]

[.........KDFJGHKDSJH ACK.

Rider doubles back and nearly stumbles over.]

You! You! [gil why are you tiny and also not dead]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

That's my line! You're the gross one.

I-A

[man can't enjoy his damn toast in peace, get no respect 'round here...] In that order: Absolutely nothing, and I have no idea. But, I suppose that isn't going to satisfy you.

[godlyreigns]

[Y U P. The cleaver doesn't waver.]

Then at least tell me where I am.

[uranophobe.livejournal.com]

A friendly little town called Mayfield. If you hadn't noticed, you've been kidnapped, all powers and abilities from your own world stripped away. You can thank the beings behind this place for that.

In case you're wondering, I am not one of them. My name is Dr. Jonathan Crane, if you were wondering about that as well, and I'm quite sure an old man eating breakfast is hardly a threat worthy of responding with physical violence. You may put the cleaver down.

[ex_seventh238]

...You're looking for Matou-san. [But if that's the case...] Rider?

[godlyreigns]

Yes. [A pause.] My apologies, but if we've spoken before, I do not remember.

[ex_seventh238]

I see... [A small sigh before the voice resumes, and you can hear the sympathetic smile.] That's okay, Rider. Rather, I should be the one to apologize to you, since it must be destabilizing to suddenly arrive here, separated from your Master and being recognized by people you don't ever recall previously speaking to before. But yes, that is the case; you and Matou-san were here before, and I knew you both. To answer your question, Matou-san isn't here anymore. Not even her drone remains; I do pray that she has been returned safely and rightfully to her world, by Emiya-kun's side. That said, my name is Ciel; it's nice to meet you again, even if the circumstances aren't the most favorable.

[Sealand runs off. Not far, just to check the pictures. He comes back a moment later.]

I guess you're the new one, yeah.

[godlyreigns]

[Rider tilts her head.]

Very well.

Is something bothering you? I'm not much of a mother, but...

[micronation]

[He had been hoping Lilly would be undroned, against all reason.]

Nah, I'm okay. I'm Sealand. Who're you?

[ phone ]

[imoutos]

A-... Ah, you mean Matou-san, right..?

... Um, she w-was here a while ago, but I think she was d-droned already..

[ phone ]

[godlyreigns]

Yes, so I've heard.

Flower Shop

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

[A pale girl with a blank expression and golden eyes walks into the store and peers at Rider]

Um.... Miss... Rider?

[godlyreigns]

[Rider turns around, a confused expression on your face.]

Yes? I'm sorry, my memory has been blanked. I do not remember you.

[gezellighe.livejournal.com]

Do you have tulip bulbs?

[It's that time of year; Rider will get a pretty tall, frowny, demanding looking guy speaking to her. ]

[godlyreigns]

I wouldn't know.
