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 :<]

There's no facade. You're probably just seeing things.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I'll run you through phone filtering protocols, since this is otherwise an open vox [ he explains the basics of phone-filtering so the drones and higher ups in the town don't hear it. ]

[godlyreigns]

[....oh dear.]

O-Oh...well. That's...not good.

[Understatement of the year, Rider.]

Er, rest assured that I would never do something like that as of now.

[godlyreigns]

[Rider listens intently, seemingly scribbling down notes in the background.]

Thank you very much.

[godlyreigns]

I "saw" nothing. My eyes are plenty healthy.

[She hated to go that route, but this kid was getting on her LAST nerves.]

[micronation]

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

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

[gandere]

I know that now.

[ Lazily rolling her head to look up towards the ceiling. ]

Geez.. there's so much to tell you. I don't even know where to begin.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

If you say so. Don't look too hard or I'll have to use a certain someone's shield.

[godlyreigns]

[Guess who's from Ancient Greece?! And then abruptly modern Japan?! This lady yup. So all she thinks is "Sealand is an odd name."]

If you insist. My name is Rider.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, of course.

You should be warned, there are quite a few warriors from a few of the wars here. Alexander, Cu Chulainn, Saber, and Gilgamesh are all present to my knowledge. There may be others as well.

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.

[godlyreigns]

[Her voice takes on a sharp edge. Yeahhhhh three of those guys? She last remembers them either being sucked up in a void of black taint, or getting offed abruptly.] How?

[godlyreigns]

[Rider plops down on the couch opposite from Rin, crossing her legs.]

Start wherever you feel's easiest.

[micronation]

Did someone already tell you about Mayfield? 'Cause you knew about the mom thing.

[godlyreigns]

[OOOH YOU DIDN'T JUST GO THERE. Rider kinda stands there with her mouth half open in shock that he actually said that.]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Oh, right! You probably don't know much about where we are.

[godlyreigns]

[Rider only drops the cleaver when he finishes his explanation.]

Then forgive my jumping to conclusions when I find myself kidnapped. [Huff puff.]

[godlyreigns]

[She nods.] The man named Jonathan told me what I needed to know.

[godlyreigns]

I know enough.

[gandere]

Sakura isn't here.

.. she hasn't been here for a while.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I cannot say. I know only they are here. Some are honorable, some are monsters. I would call Cu Chulainn a brother. He is Rin's servant.

[godlyreigns]

[......................................]

W-What?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Then you know you're at an extreme disadvantage. I have everything so if you try anything sneaky, just make sure to know that I'll get back at you. That obviously ignores the fact that I would beat you even if you were at full power.

Still, don't try anything rat-like and we won't have a problem.

[godlyreigns]

[Rider rubs her temples.]

Not even her [she gropes for the word] "drone"?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Did I say something strange?
