*Today Sakura got something new in the mail. She didn't think that much of getting something though, since without Shirou around her mindset has been a bit more on the dangerous side. But either way, she decides it's best to go ahead and open it anyway. It can't be that bad.

That is, until she sees exactly what it is.Cue some stumbling back into

[Have one extremely concerned Rider.]

Sakura, are you alright?

[imaginenumbers]

Ah, Rider, is that you?

Um, it's not that important, but still... would you mind coming over?

[breaker_gorgon]

Of course.
Understood.
I’ll be there in a moment.

[She’d hear the click of the receiver and, after a short period, a slight rap on the door.]

[imaginenumbers]

*Sakura answers the door and begins to lead Rider up to her bedroom.*

Um, you are aware that we get things from home in the mail, yes? I was just... w-wondering if you possibly knew where this would have come from...

[breaker_gorgon]

[Rider would follow her, listening intently to the hesitation in her voice.

...This is...not at all what she expected.
Such a costume alone wouldn’t be of any interest.
But on her dear, eternally innocent Sakura?
Never.]

...Obviously from someone who doesn’t value their life.
At your behest, I’ll take it out and burn it before Shirou sees it.

[imaginenumbers]

I will consider that. After all I wouldn't wear it or anything!

[breaker_gorgon]

If you are concerned about wasting the material, I can always take it to a shop in town.

I'm sure someone here would put it to use.

Your frame isn't suited to such coarse fabric, anyway.

[imaginenumbers]

Thank you... um, I was considering trading it for something else but I wouldn't know what to get. I wish I could get you something but I don't think it works that way.

[breaker_gorgon]

Oh, Sakura. You’re such a sweet girl.
I’m quite alright, though. I’m not in need of anything.
I suppose we could ask around and see if you could trade it for something else of yours.
For the 'powers that be' to send you something like this is...unsettling.

[imaginenumbers]

It is a little... weird, yes. I suppose if they're capable of hurting people then they are capable of having a sense of humor like this...

*Sakura shudders a bit at that.*

Can I ask you to keep it at your house for me until I decide what to get back? I don't really have a place to hide it here.

[breaker_gorgon]

You have a point. I suppose it takes a sick sense of humor to keep this place running.

Of course. It would be no trouble for me.
If Adachi finds it, he’ll probably throw it back in the closet and avoid eye contact for a week.
Please leave it to me.

[imaginenumbers]

Ah, thank you very much... I'll leave it to you then, Rider.
