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 :<]

If you insist. [Which, of course, means that he will be finding this out and storing it as psychological ammo as soon as physically possible.]

Should you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[ex_seventh238]

Oh, that's a relief to hear!... [And she does sigh too, proving that she has sort of been holding her breath.] That said, do you have any more questions about this place? Other Masters and Servants are also here. You may prefer to hear explanations from more familiar faces, but I'd like to extend the offer too, now or later if you'd like to meet in person. About the town, or about Matou-san and you the last time you were both in Mayfield.

[godlyreigns]

Perhaps "all out" is not the right term.

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

Whatever it is, I have the best master in the town so there won't be any problems.

[godlyreigns]

[Being Rider is suffering.]

Who is the other child, in this house? Not the blonde boy, the...[what's the word, what's the word...] the one without a personality?

[godlyreigns]

Oh? And who is he?

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

She. And she's a real angel from heaven.

[godlyreigns]

Mmm. That's agreeable. Like a double-edged sword.

[She rests her chin in her hands.]

[godlyreigns]

An angel? [She doesn't try to hide the disbelief in her voice..]

[kinpika.livejournal.com]

I'll introduce you some day!

[gandere]

I don't really spend much time with people, but we can do things together if you like. Do you know if you have a job or anything?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Aye. Damn it to the depths of the Warp.

[uranophobe.livejournal.com]

They're called drones. Essentially, they're mindless robots, programmed to believe the lie Mayfield has set out for us to follow. Some are native residents of the town, but others were once our fellow captives. A person will be fine and normal one day, and the next... Gone.

awwwww. I smiled irl.

[godlyreigns]

[Rider smiles.]

I did receive a call. I think I am a florist?

sdjglsdgd aw ;w;

[gandere]

A florist? Well, that's good. It makes time go by easier when you've got something to do. I'm a student.. despite spending my birthday here. It's insulting to be eighteen years old and still forced to go to school.

[ 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.

[godlyreigns]

I think I would like to hear. [A pause.] If you would. About when Sakura and I were last here...

[godlyreigns]

[That smile just turns into a frown.]

Oh dear. Do you have any idea why?

[godlyreigns]

[Rider makes a grunt of displeasure.]

Regardless, thank you for providing me with information.

[godlyreigns]

[Wow hey. There's finally a way to terrify her. Because this? It sounds absolutely terrifying.]

There seems to be no cause or warning?

[godlyreigns]

[Rider just shrugs. Although yeah the prospect of meeting an angel sounds kind of appealing.]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

When you were previously here, we had something of a friendship. Consider it a... last bit of assistance for your old self. Or a way of forging a new bond with the you that is here now. [ There's something almost like weariness in his voice. Garviel hates losing people to Mayfield, as do many veterans of the town. ]

[godlyreigns]

Well. If Rin trusts and values you enough to consider you her partner, then I suppose I should learn to as well...again.

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I shall do what I can to earn that trust. Are there any questions about the town that I can be of specific assistance with? I have been here nigh unto a year now.
