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 :<]

[Rider rests her face in her hands. She is definitely trying not to laugh. How lucky she was that Sakura would never make her do such a thing.]

[gandere]

Come on, you're capable of singing while sober, right?

Why the hell do you suddenly want me to sing?

[godlyreigns]

[Still trying not to laugh, here. Don't mind her.]

[gandere]

Because I'm telling you to sing. Do it.

[ What's more entertaining - the idea of Lancer singing or Rin arguing with him? ]

You're out of your damn mind.

[You know what, Rin? He's just going to take a breath and gear up to tell you what for, looking all dead serious...]

[riastrad-ridire.livejournal.com]

[Or not. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag99KDfF9Q8&feature=related)]

[And you know what? Just to piss you off, Rin?]

[He's really, really good. You have stumbled upon Lancer's lesser-known hidden talent. Congratulations.]

[godlyreigns]

[....whelp]

Your voice is very impressive.

[gandere]

[ Why initially there is a look of shock on her face, it eventually melts away into a softer expression, one full of adoration. To someone with a keen instinct to details or perhaps someone who isn't as stupid as Lancer and Rin, it might be a bit obvious she cares for him beyond that of a Servant. ]

That was pretty good, Lancer. [ And just as quick, it disappears as she regains her confidence. ] I should have you sing for us more often.

Thanks. [A laugh--Lancer wasn't thrilled about the situation, but he certainly wasn't embarrassed about it.]

You happy now, kid?

[godlyreigns]

[Rider picks up on it, subtle as it is. Her eyes widen a bit, but she decides to hold her tongue.]

[gandere]

Yeah, I think so.

[ Look, she's smiling and actually enjoying herself right now. Her loyal Servant and a close companion sitting next to her? This is probably the best day she's had in Mayfield in months. ]

Great. So how else are you planning to humiliate me today?
