Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

on the way to the cafeteria Fujibayashi would extend her hand, touching the white walls of Chaldean, feeling the smooth material of it unlike any wood, rock or paper texture that it was used in her period, her alert state would be ready to return a strike if anything is to come her way, but keeping a normal pace and calm demeanour for appearances “So, … I am guess this silence means you are not a person of many words are you? I do like and am pretty talkative, so I’ll speak enough for both of us of anything, but I’d like to know more about you, and whatever this, … place is, … is this like paradise? I assume I died, last thing I remember, … well, a loud sound then I was here” the clack of her getas resonating though the halls as she allows Wiltrud to speak when she asks “And what’s with the whole servant deal, that’s not really a nice way to introduce yourself to someone is it? Eheh~, …….” her hand reaching up, scratching the side of her head with a finger awkwardly, not meaning anything as an insult for now, Fujibayashi has no reason of that, yet

"I've been a mercenary long as I remember, and care to, wasn't much before that. Talk is cheap and can be costly, never had many people around I had much to talk about with anyway. Not many will be interested in a stimulating chat when you're both being paid to gun for each other's head, or when they just want to take what you have..." A light slip of her mask for a moment and she frowns darkly, before resuming her usual smile, her pace quickening a little. "This place is some mage's pet project, or was anyway. Now we're all fighting to stop someone or something that's attempting to rewrite history, and not in any way that benefits humanity in general, or so I understand. And you'd be correct, although exactly how it all works that you, and the others, ended up here, is beyond my pay grade. Didn't choose that term either, take any magus and you'll find they're nearly all pompous asses in the end so it doesn't surprise me they would use something like that. But if it really bothers you, what's your preferred term? Can be something you work up to at least. Either way, I'll be treating you like anyone else I've found myself commanding before. Ah, we're here." Walking into the cafeteria itself, Wiltrud would guide Fujibayashi to the order line, looking around idly as they waited. "Say, any objections if I call someone else over? First one I contracted with here, think they'll match well with you, or at least make for decent conversation. You're both in my squad now, so hopefully you work together well too."

@[unintelligible sub noises]

“Huh, … seems someone has some strong opinions when it comes to this place, …” she says a bit under her breath as she sees Wiltrud unload a clip into this, at least she can pour her heart when it comes to talking, and she seems honest, … she seems honest right?, … a-anyway (ooc shake of the head to come back to reality) “I would want to say that I understand where you are coming from, but I’m guessing I was privileged enough to not meet disloyal shinobi within my clan, …” looking around seeing all the wondrous shining lights and machines Fujibayashi squats down next to a fridge which contains beverages of all sorts conveniently sitting next to the line as she taps the glass of it, her nail making a tk sound every hit as she looks into it “We all worked together for the better of our village. Anything we made we managed together, but I can agree that being paid for someone’s head is a real drag. Usually we were just starting fires, in order to weaken the enemy forces, but I can say it’s not a job for anyone to handle. Especially when you are incompetent” after a while, as Fujibayashi choses to raise back up to stay tall she turns around still on guard for anything as usual, she seems a bit tense from the position of her feet, seeming ready to dash in any second when the slight bend in her knee is observed, either way, striking a relaxed top half putting her hands on her hips when talking “I see, so, … is my whole life a lie or something, it seems like something serious” her hips sway to the side when a question comes to mind “What’s with the, …” pointing to the side of her head “Thingies on your head, I don’t mean offence but things don’t add up unless I’m miss understanding how all this works, but what do you care about humanity? You don’t seem very eager about this”

9:26 PM

afterward as she closes her eyes and lowering her chin, her hands cross under her chest, the other one grasping on her chin in though at her question “As for what I would prefer, … why don’t you chose something to call me by? After all you did say this term was not endorsed by yourself, so I guess you can chose whichever you think fits, after all I did die and you revived me, … eheh~” a nervous chuckle escapes the Kunoichi’s lips opening her eyes again with a smile “You don’t seem to shy away from expressing your thoughts and regards about other people and systems that you take part in yourself. Never more that you express them aloud in public. What is it about? Do you feel like something from the past repeats itself? And now you are trying to take advantage of the experience you didn’t have before? In order to change some aspect that you missed last time?”

"Within your clan? Not sure how you got a statement on loyalty out of what I said, but... I suppose? Sounds like we both did the dirty work, but let me guess, you worked for some noble or politician, well paid and supplied, and were kept to standards of honor or something like that. None of that for people like me... But enough about that, can talk about that shit another day, at least once you're settled in." Shaking her head and refocusing, Wiltrud watches Fujibayashi examine the vending machine, before her question comes, with a slight smirk being the master's only visible response. "Those things? They're something of a heirloom, apparently designed after an ancestor a long time back. Don't know much more than that, my family...has seen better times, to put it mildly. That aside, can't say I have much interest in being a hero or saint, or in humanity as a whole, but I do care about getting paid well and having a world to wake up into the next day. Both of those things are dependent on this job, that much I can believe from what I've seen." Moving down the line, full of people waiting for a meal, she considers that. "Hm. I'll stick with Assassin, when not using your name. Fujibayashi, right? And no need to see yourself as obligated to me like that, I'm just the one who pushed a button, whoever or whatever revived you is one of those giving the orders around here, or so I suppose. All that's past what I'm being paid for." A dry chuckle comes at Fuji's statement, Wiltrud then taking a few moments to think about her questions. "Most people listen less than someone might think until something gets their attention, as I'm sure you know already. And besides that, if it's not said to their face, those people might not even recognize you exist, much less pay any attention. Those people see us as tools that might take a salary, why would they? But don't misunderstand, I'm not out to change any cycles or grand stuff like that, just to fulfill the meaning and hist

1:43 PM

ory of what I've taken for myself. In that sense and scope, however, I suppose I agree to each of those. Just another one carrying forward what someone else left behind, and all they had picked up from those before them. And what about you? You're a mercenary just as much as I am, or we wouldn't be having this conversation. But what are your reasons? The ones you'd say out loud, anyway."

@[unintelligible sub noises]

“Me? N-no no no not like that, not like that at all. I didn’t mean to say that you betrayed them or something, I was just going on a tangent about my own clan and that we acted differently, … that’s al-, … shit! I don’t mean that either I-, …” lowering her face down at the horrible approach, Fujibayashi, would sigh, trying to collect herself, … inhale “I meant to say my clan had no reason to go after one another’s throat because our village worked towards a common goal. That’s what I wanted to say. As for working for politicians, not really, more like nobles, yet things slowly began to change, and our people’s duties slowly shifted towards a more personal reasoning-“ her, … it only was just her who had personal reasons “-having to push back the calamity upon our lands, brave people gave their lives-“ were killed in an assault “-to fight off the injustice-“ protect their lives and families as soldiers stormed into their house “-of the demon king. They all brought contribution and I’m proud to have had them all as part off my clan” regret letting them associate and help in endeavours that she should have done alone “Initially we contracted by nobles to weaken enemy bases by setting up fires, but we slowly went on to more dangerous areas, which left our men and identities easier to exposure. The closer we had to get to new objectives, that now became targets, the more likely we were to get caught, so we allowed ourselves to ask for higher pay in order to keep taking out this dangerous missions. Which in turn was a great source for our town to flourish from. I have my regrets about the new direction and manner our jobs took, but as long as it feed the women and the children it was a risk I was willing to take” for myself

6:28 PM

nodding with a smile, at the person, releasing her hands from under her chest, and let them sit by her side, the bend in her knees is released as well as her frame straightens, being less on the edge now and visibly more open. Nagato’s hands coming up to find her hips as she advances with the crowd, pushing her non existent chest forward proudly poking the air with it and nudging it as she speaks “Hm hm~ well we do have to keep up appearances, we can’t give out our names just like that as respectable assassins right? We don’t want people knowing us after all.” her bravado on display, inflating her plumage, speaking out loud to hear, the irony of her words palpable when she gives off a giggle as if not Wiltrud said her name just moments ago, having gotten totally relaxed at this point, there’s no sense of danger or hostility, she will still be cautious of many things, but seeing as everyone hasn’t already jumped on her to attack Nagato give her a sense of security, that at the very least not everyone is involved if there were to be something to be involved in as they advance through the crowd- “I guess you do have a point, … words are passed around all the time, not the first time they would be turned a blind eye to either, it’s human nature to hide from bother when it shows itself~” as they pass by the glass of the cafeteria, seeing a bunch of sweets that capture her eye when she leans down to look at them more attentively, her servant for giving her knowledge of what they are, … but she never remembers reading or seeing such products ever, feels weird, if not a bit itchy

6:28 PM

a second break as she’s asked the question, she awaits, then responds when she turns around “Everything was for the sake of my people of course, what else? Being a leader takes much you know? As well as an appetite of steel, sometimes I had to give up my bowl for others. It’s just how life is, some people will need and make more use of something you have then you ever will. Thinking back, … maybe responsibility is what made me so adamant on pursuing the life I lived, it matures us, gives us reason and a goal, we see it as an obligation when we are children, but as time passes, responsibility we realise about it that we can also run away from it, that’s why parents irk us over washing the floors or cleaning around the dojo, rubbing the tables clean off ink or making the bed in the morning. Just like how we use a knife before a sword, we get ready for the grander calls of life we get along the way. Eheh~” she laughs shortly reaching to the back of her head to scratch it awkwardly, tilting her head to the side “Sure I can’t be the only one with this view, it would be awkward if so, maybe original, but I don’t want to feel more foreign then I am already”

6:28 PM

reaching almost at the counter as she asks the question “What about you? Is there something you want to say about yourseeeeelf or your faaaamily, … nothing that interests you other then a full stomach? There has to be something, after all, I do need to know more about you if we are to spend more time together, which speaking off don’t think you brought no contribution, even if all you did is do a simple task, you did bring me back. And if it wasn’t for you, … who knows what would have happened probably still floating into a nothingness sea. At the very least I see you as someone who helped me and even if incidentally, saved me. So as tradition has it, I’m indebted to you, and nope! I want to hear no complaint, it’s settled, the red string of fate connects u!-, …” bad analogy, … her face freezes in place, as suddenly tops her speech, eye wide as her mouth agape scream to let the last of the sentence up, her all mighty gesticulation, having come to an end, her hands who were flying all over, stopped as soon as she did, my my what an awkward moment she will have to salvage “Yeah, us! We are two respectable people with a relation of an iffy trust and a relationship of basically strangers! Mhm mhm” Fuji nods when speaking, crossing her arms and closing her eyes “Besides, we are to take the order now! Oh god I am starving” a great segway into another topic as they finally reach the cashier

6:29 PM

I’m sorry, … words just kept coming, …

As they reached the counter, Wiltrud took a couple seconds to consider her order, settling on a pair of beef and sausage dishes. Nodding to Fuji as she waited for the meal to be prepared, she waved the Assassin off to the side with her for the meantime so the line could continue. "So you mean some warlord finally went and hit you at home, making things personal up until you went down? The demon king, huh. Like you said though, you had to do what was necessary for food to stay on the table, even before it all ended up coming to you directly. Being a leader of any kind has its own price and tolls, after all... Some of us get shaped by being the ones led around first, of course. Maybe anyone can be anything, but there's only so many days in a life, nobody chooses their hand most of the time either. But I get a sense you'll fit in well, so being foreign isn't something to worry about~ Maybe you'll show some of that leadership you talked about here too with time." With that, their order came, and Wiltrud headed to one of the cafeteria tables with the tray, continuing once the two were seated with a light chuckle. "Like any two mercenaries on the same job, give or take the word 'respectable', heh. About me... My family crumbled slowly over generations, until they ended up pushed out and moved to where I was born, but fell apart completely by that time. Few memories for me about any of them except that these horns were passed down, just a mark of some quirks in the bloodline, hah... Can't even say what they named me, this name was inspired by someone else I knew early on as I was dealing with life day by day. They're dead now, except for what I took from them, another inheritance I claimed, as you might look at it. But without that, I wouldn't have made it past that time, so in a way I took on their life too. That's all."

following around Wiltrud as she’s gestured to do so Fujibayashi listens to them give their one off about their situation, which causes the young kunoichi to lower her head down and bring her face wrap over her nose, a touchy subject she finds hard to expand upon, her feeling well up to her eyes although not showing any sign of water due to the bite on her own lip she does to keep it down “, … I don’t like talking about it, it’s a regret of mine, you probably understand the feeling of failing that one task, doing everything well until that one moment you slip and that’s enough for you to lose everything, … isn’t it rather ironical how we want to keep those close to us in an eternal embrace and never let them go?, … but we take the lives of others away just because someone gives us money for it, … so we bite down, on the coin, make sure it’s wasn’t a fake, and shake hands to end someone. Thinking about it is rather funny as me of all people shouldn’t have even the right to speak about such a thing eheh~ I collected what I cultivated” as she releases her feral grip onto her lip the woman looks up yet doesn’t let down her mask, it’s a childish hide, she knows she notices, … but she can’t help to imagine she’s the most stealthy tiger in the jungle, ‘No I’m not obvious, she didn’t spot a thing, I just pulled my mask up’ she thinks in her reality as she continues “It’s a crazy theory, and I don’t subject you to my belief! Of course! I’m not saying you don’t have the right to morns someone, that’s what makes us human after all right? As for me? Eh- a leader only in name but not in aptitude, … people would follow even fly if they though they would lead them to water in the desert right?, …” putting her fists on her hips as she says that proudly she looks to the side with just her eyes, her eyebrow raises up as she questions “What’s a desert?, … I know things I never knew before, … I guess you weren’t joking you said this will be a ride huh?, …”

6:03 PM

following Wiltrud to continue the conversation with her master she explains “I will certainly try my best, …aaaaam how should I call you?, … nah nah wait, let me finish what I have to say first, then we can continue. So, …. aaaaam oh yeah, wanted to say I’ll try to appear as smart as people though me to be but I can’t promise anything. A leader has to be recognise, not call themselves one. It will come with trust from others and consultation with a team, as such is the way after I get the blessings of my team and trust can I truly work with them as a leader, … also damn, someone likes to be open, … feels like I’m prying into your life to much . It’s not a bad thing of course! Don’t feel you are doing something wrong! No no, just, if you ever feel like something is redundant for me, … please do keep for yourself, … I don’t want you to remember when you are trying to forget, ok?” the kunoichi leans in in her chair, getting her hand on the table and placing it on top of Wiltrud’s reassuringly, in order to put them at easy, … huh, almost that she forgot she though she was a slave one hour ago when summoned “Also one more thing, … there’s always a way, never doubt it’s hopeless and you have to do something, there’s always another way, making a bad for a good can only take you to no good, …belive me when I say that. Always try to find the good to cling onto. Faith is one thing people use a lot for guidance” her hand retracts back ~~if not stabbed already~~ “If you ever feel like something is a miss I will work with you to figure out how we can take that out what do you say? I wanna turn a new leaf, … although I will find a way to go back, … and when I do that, that men, … will be dead on sight. If I ever see him again it will also be the last time. My simple goal and drive. Something to give me a reason right?~ eheh” Fujibayashi turns to look outside the window playing with the rags on her arms when she says

"Does it sound to you like I was thinking I did something wrong? Heh, like I said, I can see what kind of leader you are even if you try to downplay it, but let's make one thing clear..." Wiltrud lightly swats her hand away, her expression not changing but the look in her eyes sharpening a little. "Sometimes people get a bad hand dealt and that's that, no amount of finding the good or clinging to faith or hope can change everything. I'm not out to just tell anyone who's listening my story, nor do I want or need pity or consoling. I'm just one of those people who ended up with a shitty hand and dealt with it, Of course, there are things I won't give you, at least not this early, but don't go thinking there's stuff I'm trying to forget. I rarely forget anything... And neither do you, huh? At least the one here right now, talking about their simple goal and target, the reason they have to drive them forward. You understand how people like us live, so no need to patronize each other, alright? From here on, we're on the same team, at least until this job is done." Putting out a hand to shake instead, her smirk becomes slightly brighter...maybe?

her hand is pushed to the side and gets told off about her pure advances, having wanted to help. As she looks at her hand opening then clutching her fist while listening to Wiltrud, she feels an attempt at distancing from her, like a fleeting soldier ready to head into the mist where the enemies await, rather a strong personality she feels coming from her, but Fujibayashi shoves it to the side, not the first imposing person she’s been around “I do understand your point of view, yes. But luck has an odd way of turning it!s tide in conspicuous ways. Turning loss to utter win. What if this new life we have, is just a new deck of cards? Why don’t we try to make the most of it? After all the more we understand each other the better we know how to help one another right?” a smile plastered on her face, warm and welcoming even through the rudeness of her master shoving her good will aside, not relenting in her pursuit, a slight crack into it is seen in a reflexive twitch of her corner of her mouth from the smile at the continuation of her never forgetting “I do have goals yes, but that doesn’t mean I still want to help ease whatever bothers you whenever. Although I do understand and don’t ask for much, I will try to earn ever little thing you give me then. May we work towards each other’s goals while I lend you my capable hand” looking at her hand not natural to shake it, she instead bows her head humbly in order to signify humility and dedication, if not awkward for a second, but every person in the world have their own ways of showing respect after all, seeing her keeping that hand extended for a second the knowledge she gets as a servant she gasp in awkwardness and jumps up to grab it with two hands and shake it apologetically saying “I’m sorry, it’s not common curtesy to touch hands with one another back home. It didn’t struck me until a bit later what you wanted. Eheh~ preeeetttyyy awkwaaaard, … either way, lets have a wonderful cooperation”

8:24 PM

@Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae

8:25 PM

If Wiltrud wants to add something I think this is a good place to end right?

(mhm, will do so after the games today)

1

"Heh, understandable. You're Japanese, right, and that's the formal custom? Think I have some ancestors from there, so won't object to hearing more about the place. Bowing freely like that isn't something I see myself picking up however..." Pulling back her hand, Wiltrud nods with a small grin. "You have a talent for flowery speeches too, it seems, maybe I'll get your help with my stage presence instead sometime. I'm starting to look forward to what might come of this myself. Let's hope our work stays steady and successful and our goals get reached, I'm already pretty sure you're as capable as I'd expect, from each of us. But for now, once this meal is done, want the rest of the tour, or to see where I'll be staying while we're here?" (end scene with this, mhm?)

Artoria makes her way into the cafeteria, wanting a few minutes of silence in which to calmly sit at a table and simply eat something without much issue, waiting for her thoughts to settle “Mmm-, …” she mutters “It’s oddly quite, … not many people around.” making her way through the place as she gets just a bit of food for herself, nothing to much, odd “Maybe it’s for the better.”

Jack would approach the cafeteria, looking for her mummy whilst carrying her daggers in her hand with an almost excited flourish. She was desperately needing dismemberment and disembowlments, everytime she tried to kill and gut someone it was taken away from her. "Mummy...Mum...my?"

@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

"You're a long way from home, child," a voice came from behind Jack that seemed to be cold and detached. Behind her was a tall figure in a dark overcoat with bandages wrapped around his hands and below his knees. His face was dark brown, gaunt, and rough with a stubble certainly to grow. His hair was rough and unkept but not long nor was it short. He was looking down at Jack with a cocked head like a wolf. "I would be careful with your blades. I'm sure your 'mommy' wouldn't like you cutting yourself. Blood spilled that is yours is a waste of time and effort. Not an efficient manner of killing."

@Fl, Wi, Ab, Yu

She was not fazed in the slightest, being the assassin serial killer; she couldn't afford to be phased by such trickery. She lifted her dagger as she looked at his hair...She could braid it...She could put it in a ponytail...So many choices...She then began to look at his organs with glee, a smirk of pure villainy appearing on her face. "Kekekekeke~ We want to bring mummy back some fresh organs, do you know where we could dissect some people sir?" She asked as if she just asked where the bathroom was, not caring for how morbid she sounded.

@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside

"Hmmm. Undisciplined. Unstable. Unsuitable. A good line soldier you would not make," Francis said with no real emotion on his face but a blank look. "But when was war ever civilized?" His mind was... tired to say the least. Stuck between his past and future self he had cut his ties with his masters in a final bid of humanity to spare her of what he was about to become. He felt it now in his bones. A constant desire to kill, to wreak havoc, to see the entire world burn before his eyes just so he could stoke the fires of humanity within everyone. "You will have more than enough foes on the battlefield to dissect, child." his voice was rather rough like sandpaper. "Tell me. Why do you wish to dissect and mutilate the already dead? They are dead."

9:35 AM

@Fl, Wi, Ab, Yu

"We don't want to be a stupid soldier! We are free forever, we are Jack the ripper~" She seemed to love the fact she was such a notorious killer, cackling gently as she would hold the daggers close to her cheek. The cold, harsh steel keeping her frozen. "Kekekeke~ We loveeeee to dissect, we love to kill, we want to dissect with our mummy, it makes us so happy having mummy bonding time!"

"Where else would you find the most corpses then on the battlefield." he kneeled down as he tilted his head, staring right into her eyes with his dead ones "I bore witness to the butcher and ten million men. Entire town's worth of men cut down in seconds in a sudden flash of shellfire and before the machine gun. There is the sickening cacophony of genocide you seek and it is on the field of war." He reached out with hand, the palm scarred from gripping blades that stopped inches away from his throat. "Give us your knife. Allow us to inspect it, child."

@Francis Pegahmagabow | Ghost of the Trenches (@TheInsanityThatLiesOutside) - jump Jack swiftly handed over her weapon, a gleeful look on her face as he talked about killing hundreds of millions. It made her excited, excited to kill, excited to slaughter. She noticed his hands, and the scar. "We noticed your scar, how did you get them? Do you want more?" she asked politely as she sat down, humming to herself.

He measured the knife, flipping it over several times to get a measure of its weight before landing it's tip perfercly on end of his index finger. It drew blood. But he didn't much care. "This one in particular? I got this at the Somme. When we were fighting in the corpse piles. One of the corpses came back to life and tribe the stab me. I grabbed his bayonet with this hand, and I turned it around, and I thrusted it squarely into his heart," he stared at Jack with a completely dead look, "And I watched his life fade from his eyes." He paused and looked down. "I can't quite tell if I enjoyed it yet at that time."

7:47 AM

@Fl, Wi, Ab, Yu

"Heheheheheh!~ That sounds so fun, we want to do that, we want to do that!" She exclaimed, squealing with glee as she'd bounce up and down like a giddy schoolgirl!

"You take more pleasure then is available on the surface when it comes to separating an innocent man from his wife," Francis noted. "Tell me, why?"

having been in Chaldean for a long time the clueless Shinobi would be peacefully sit at a table enjoying some drinks of this era, while eating a bit of ice cream to pass the time like it’s not almost the end of the world outside, smiling as she keeps herself company by swinging her legs and humming to herself at a table. Suddenly, as a little wave of hunger hits her, Fujibayashi’s stomach would growl in the moment, giving her want for something, … not sweet, as she looks around the cafeteria in order to make herself something good she can chew on

@Deleted User

A tall dark-skinned man would enter the cafeteria with a tray of Onigiri rice balls filled with a sweet salmon. Since his master had retired the man was masterless so he spent all they drowning his sorrow with his favorite meal/ treat he enjoyed when he was living inside of Japan back in his era. As he made his way inside the cafeteria, he would sit by a... woman most likely a servant or master though he wasn't really worried that much about it, he was mostly worried about finishing his meal.

@[unintelligible sub noises]

having the man sit beside her she would be a bit surprised, seeing as someone would want to accompany her, looking at her food, and then them. Fujibayashi, as nice as she is, would put her usual smile she wear when talking with people, no reason to stay in silence as she pushes the wooden basket with steaming dumplings in between them “I see you like food, wanna try some of mine too?” she asks as she fixes her kimono a bit, maybe he might seem grumpy or scary, but she is either to dumb, or too social to not talk “Oh, and, please don’t just bite into them, … you’ll burn your mouth” she’s saying to the Japanese man as if he wouldn’t know that already, before taking one of the dumpling in a spoon and having at it “You know, you seem pretty cool, what’s your name?” sigh, …. talk talk talk talk talk, … even if you’d try ignoring her, … she just continues speaking making conversation with herself even

@Deleted User

The man's head would shift downward looking at the woman wearing a kimono. He would soon automatically suspect she must be a servant of Japanese origin from how she was dressed, which would cause the man to have a warm smile widen across his face. "I am sorry though I am going to have to deny your offer. I have a tray of my favorite kind of onigiri with me... You may get one if you like." He says calmly before munching on the little rice triangled food. Hearing her constant talking he could only sigh sitting the half-eaten rice ball down looking at the Japanese women. "It is rude to ask a stranger's name when you haven't introduced yourself." He says in a stern tone.

@[unintelligible sub noises]

the man seems nice enough! Which pleases her! Fujibayashi really like socialising, even though she’s seen alone most of the time, and as she’s approached, … just vanishing “Oh of course ahahah!” who knew someone who seems so distant can be so-, … radiant “Name is Fujibayashi-, … well, … I forgot my last name- but I’m working to get it back. Eheh! A friend said it’s amnesia kind of something something saint graph is messed up. I guess you understand this sorcery more then me.” pinching her chopsticks with the tip of her tongue sticking out at the corner of her mouth in hunger she would grab it and take it in one hand, the woman with an appetite that rivals that of the king of knights munches happily on the rice ball as she ‘applauds’ “Mmmmm~ So gooood~ can’t believe this, did you make them? Buy them? I should get more of this, it reminds me of my childhood. Reminds me of Okasan when I was getting back from training with Otasan. Ah, … the memories I must have if I could remember them, … they still feel pleasant. So I think they are alright, don’t you think too? I wouldn’t be feeling at ease even if I forgotten” the girl speaks a river again, but she seems to occasionally leave spaces for responses, … just to start talking again. Not to mention the heavy amount of gesticulation she has, grandiose wave hands being thrown around constantly combined with her head movement (edited)

Yasuke would chuckle seeing the woman's enthusiasm. He had never met such a woman with so much energy, well it's been a long time since he had met one. "You may address me as Yasuke, some may know me as Nobunaga's personal retainer and best friend." *The man says with a slight smile on his face before picking up and eating the half-eaten Onigiri. He could only be surprised to see the women eating so much "You can have the rest of you want."

@[unintelligible sub noises]

“Yasuke, got it and noted. Been a while since I heard that name it used to be pretty common in my time you know? Yasuke here Yasuke there Yasuke everywhere. And then suddenly POOF! They just disappeared in an instant. Of course war war blah blah, we all know where that leads, but it’s rather scary how so e of the most popular things can just disappear you know? Any day you hear it at every corner the other day it’s gone.” pinching the chopsticks with a wooden clack just twice she would continue as putting herself in a lotus position with her feet on the chair, not the most samurai like nor traditional manner as it makes it hard to raise up of need be, but it’s a sign of someone being relaxed enough to do so “Tac tac, I can’t take them all, it wouldn’t be fair to you unless you take some of mine too. I tend to eat alot anyway, so that won’t really be beneficial for you. I might just clean your plate myself and ask for fifths.” talking so kuch about food, yet her body is still slender and gentle, … the magic of women- “, …Mmh-“ her head hurts for a second, putting her palm to her side of her forehead as she finally stops ranting for a little to calm it down “Wow, … that’s new-, … I think I’m catching a cold or something. It’s been a while since my head hurt. Speaking of which- Nobunaga- sounds, … familiar, … am I missing something?” she questions to herself putting her hands to her chin as she thinks twisting her head to the side just slightly in deep thought. Her high pony tail sticking up like always “Eh, I’ll remember with time. But yes. Yada yada, Shinobi ninja or however people like to call us this days. I know just that much I’m that. Due to well, … clothing and my natural skills. My friend told me something about agility being pretty high and I mean, can’t you see it yourself?like honestly, … you don’t need sorcery and reading into starts to figure that out dumbo” the conversation being so open they might seem like they know each other for long

Yasuke would open his mouth for a second though his expression would look quite dumbfounded seeing such women talk as fast. For a second it looks like he was going to say something though he would have to think for a second wondering what did the strange woman say his eyebrow would perk up from the familiar word of shinobi. "Shinobi you say... What a strange word, back in my time shinobi were usually referred to mostly becuase they were assassins." The man would pause for a second before looking at Fujubayashi with an irritated expression on his face. "Seeing how the word Nobunaga means so familiar to you means you were one of these assassins though I..." Yasuke would sigh rubbing his eyes wondering if he should go forward with his statement though he would quickly realize it wouldn't be wise to cause trouble. "Never mind it was foolish of me to think that, especially to someone who barely remembers a thing." He says with a slight hearted chuckle before getting out his bag of holding pulling another tray this time it seems to be an orange-colored cut up chicken, it seems to have numerous amounts of spices and seasonings on it though the smell it was emitting was quite sweet almost similar to candy.

And so, Chris after resting up in his room. He decided to take a break and merely head to the cafeteria. It was time to cook himself some good food. He was contemplating still what he wanted to eat and how much? One of them is certainly kimchi just because. Perhaps some spicy curry for old times sake? Or... perhaps a juicy steak? Ah the possibilities are endless indeed.

@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

"Oi you. Are you one of the cooks here? I could use something to munch on following the last few training sessions in the simulation." The womans voice called out, her hands resting at her side as she casually glanced towards Chris with a humm. @Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

The familiar voice caused Chris to visibly flinch, his eyes blinked as he shook his head. Did he just... hear her voice... again? No... no... way... she can't be here. He must still be imagining things with his starving mind. He reassured himself as he slowly turned around to face her.

@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

"Eh? Whatcha looking at me like that for? I asked you a simple question not a math equation." She grumbled, folding her arms and eyeing the man with a look of slight annoyance. "Look if you aren't the one who makes the grub just say so. I'm starving." @Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

@Ibaki Domori (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump His eyes were in visible shock seeing Ibaki Domori here again...! His body was torn between just running away or just avoiding a a conflict. Needless to say he chose the latter on this one. "Y-yeah.. sure... just give me a moment. A-anyways.. what do you want..?"

@Chris Heinrich (@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria) - jump "Hummm. How about some yakisoba? Extra extra large. I'm starving after that minotaur thing." Oblivious to his shock, the woman merely turned around and headed to sit down by one of the tables. Seemingly content to wait for food to arrive.

@Ibaki Domori (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "Any special add ons on your order Ms?' Needless to say, he was starting to doubt Shiki's words about this girl have a kind side. Well, regardless. He'll try to approach this peacefully. He isn't really one of the cooks, but his cooking is damn well good.

"Yeah. Just one small request. If you can add extra crab sticks." She smiled a bit before kicking back with a soft groan. Stretching in her seat before speaking. "Thanks a tonne chef. No clue how anyone here would manage to fuckin work without ya."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

@Ibaki Domori (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "Additional extra crab sticks... noted.." Afterwards he would began the cooking of the yakisoba. Still, stir fry is something he never tried before, and normally Alexander is the expert here. But Alex isn't around. He is just going to hope his master in cooking helps him out here. "Well, if it weren't for you guys humanity would be fucked over yeah? I'm just the cook."

@Chris Heinrich (@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria) - jump "Well without good food I'm pretty fucking sure there wouldn't be much worth saving now would there? Hah. Don't thank me though the only thing I beat so far was a simulation." With that she shrugged, glancing over and towards the kitchen with some curiosity before continuing. "You don't really look like a cook honestly. You kinda look like someone tossed hot peppers in your water every day honestly."

"Is that so? I am sure the food is gonna tell you otherwise. I know people say, don't trust a skinny chef. But hey some chefs work out. Besides, waking up early to prep food and ingredient can be a tedious job." He said to the naivè oni. Good thing he already got a change of clothing beforehand. Now he was in a civilian clothing instead wearing an apron. The smell of stir fry yakisoba noodles mixed with meat and vegetables filled the cafeteria and by extent the half oni's nose soon enough.

@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

At this point she was eagerly waiting to sink her teeth into the food provided. Her mouth watered at the smell and she felt her tongue get just a little thicker in her throat at the anticipation. "I trust that smell more than any cook. Smells absolutely fricking wonderful. Thanks for the effort chef. Man... I'm staaarving."

"Don't mention it miss. Just doin my job and all." This is all bullshit of course, but hey his cooking is definitely genuine and probably better than the usual stuff the chefs pour out. No wonder why masters like him tend to cook food for themselves really. After about five more minutes the food itself will finally be prepared and served. Alongside a bottle of sake. "Here, bon appeti."

@Chris Heinrich (@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria) - jump "Hah! Thanks a tonne. Itadakimaaaasu!" With that the woman immedietly dug into the food, chowing happily on the dish prepared by Chris with some delight, in between the bites she took a few swigs of the sake offered to her before leaning back and letting out a soft yet pleased 'ah'. "It's fuckin' delish."

"Glad to see you liked it. If you want seconds, go ahead and ask. I'll serve you some. So miss, what is your name?" Chris asked the japanese girl, of course he already knew this. But he has to wonder why she is here. He just needs to get the right opportunity to do so. "And what did I tell you? I am a cook."

A master as well here. I just tend to cook for myself really. It has been a while since I cooked for someone honestly." Chris mentioned to Ibaki, deciding to come clean while he still can. Best not to drag this deceit any further.

@Chris Heinrich (@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria) - jump "Eh fair enough. It's still damn good cooking though!" She noted, grinning from ear to ear as she continued to chow down on her food. "Chris eh? I'll remember that in case I want Yakisoba again. Doesn't change the fact it rocks!"

"Guess it is not that bad for my first time cooking it. Anyways, glad to see you enjoyed your meal D- Ibaki." Chris said to the half oni, seeing as she appears to just have woken up from the refrigerator. He has to wonder, if she is currently weak or not.

9:14 PM

"Now what to do.."

@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

@Chris Heinrich (@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria) - jump She seemed to enjoy the meal in question quite a bit even. Humming playfully to herself as she munched on it happily. It was quite obvious that she seemed in a bit of a worse shape than she was in before. Quite highly likely it was due to having spent her time in the refrigerator. "How about you eat too?"

He said, attempting to lie to Ibaki essentially. Although, he is not the most persuasive speaker out there so..

Chris Heinrich makes a Deception check!

@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

Is just chilling, eating some food and unpacking her new phone after her servant took her old one...

and then she arrives. Veronica approached her Sister with a Smile. She's taking Lytus's adivce. Even if her Sister hates her, she's going to do her best to try and reconnect with her Family. .... What the hell is she supposed to say to her though?

". . ." Theano just somewhat glanced to Veronique for just a moment before taking another bite of her food and not saying anything more. She seemed content with the silence, even if the previous conversation had ended the tension remained.

... She just. Quietly takes a Seat. She's not being told to leave, that's a good thing, right?

". . . You might wanna grab food first."

The technicolour goddess is just enjoying the cup of tea that she got her Priest to get her for now.

"Are you enjoying my phone Avenger?" She asked, biting down on her sandwich.

"Ah. I'm.. not really hungry." She's just here to be with her Sister, after all. "Ah. You summoned a Servant..?"

”…I have fifty new reasons to destroy humanity.” She spoke between sips. “But just as many to the contrary.”

". . . It is considered to be an expectation here, so yes- I have. If you aren't hungry then I see no reason for you to be in the Cafeteria."

11:42 AM

”…I have fifty new reasons to destroy humanity.” She spoke between sips. “But just as many to the contrary.”

@Ashtarte || The Primordial Galactic Goddess (@RJ|Sir L/Lytus/Dude/Wolf/-/-) - jump "Google 'Cat videos' and click on the 'youtube' link if you want to have one less."

”Yes, that was already on the list… But at your recommendation I shall do so again.”

"Are you using that as an excuse to do so again, Avenger?" Fee inquired with a soft chuckle.

"--" Ah. Right. She needed a proper reason, huh? "Is.. it a problem if I just wanted to spend time with you?"

"Thanks for the thought but you're six years late for that."

"Are you using that as an excuse to do so again, Avenger?" Fee inquired with a soft chuckle.

@Theano Hippolyta Nicolo (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump ”What nonsense.” The Avenger spoke with an even tone, but her furrowed brow and subtly pouting lips gave her away.

”What nonsense.” The Avenger spoke with an even tone, but her furrowed brow and subtly pouting lips gave her away.

@Ashtarte || The Primordial Galactic Goddess (@RJ|Sir L/Lytus/Dude/Wolf/-/-) - jump "Of course, thank you for considering my request, Avenger." She smiled just a little, closing her eyes and biting into her food once again.

"Better.. late than never right?"

". . . No, not really."

"..." She looked down.

”….Who is this, Priest?”

"My sister. Though you may call her a no-show if you wish."

”Ah. Is she an evildoer?”

"No. Just an idiot."

"Pretty big Idiot, really..!"

”Hm… It’s not often an idiot admits they’re an idiot.”

"Admitting your failures is usually the first step to self improvement." Though, she really used to overdo it.

"I'm not interested in you trying to 'rekindle' things only after you've had to have me point out just what you did and how you behaved after all this time. I appreciate the thought but I really don't need it anymore."

"I-I just.." "..want to make up for my mistakes. You're still my Sister."

”…Sisters are weird. And yours seems weirder, Priest.”

12:09 PM

She spoke as though Veronica wasn’t even there.

"Both of them are." With that she simply took a sip of her tea, closing her eyes and not responding to Veronique.

"..by the way uh." "I did summon Hippolyta a long time ago." Maybe. Maybe if she mentions something like this she'll find something to talk about with her Sister.

”I am two sisters.” She kind of spoke without prompting.

”….Actually it’s more complicated than that. But nevertheless I have a vague understanding.”

". . ." She just glanced at Veronique for a short moment. Her eyes fixating on her for a split second before glancing away. "Yeah... Good for you."

"She was uh. Really nice." "It would have been.. nice if you could have met her too."

”…” The Goddess turned to face her master, trying to gauge the reaction. A vibe check, if you will.

She just seemed a little out of it at the news. Glancing off to the side and not really saying anything in response. For a few long moments. "I... Yeah, fair enough I guess. Hope you enjoyed having her as your servant."

Is this a nuisance to you, Priest?

I'm not sure what to think truthfully. It's less a nuisance and more just... I've moved on already. This is like reopening an old wound.

”…..Your presence is unnecessary, and it bothers my Priest.” The goddess’ eyes finally settled on Veronique. “Begone.”

"..." ..... That hurt. Nevertheless. She stood up. "I'm. Sorry. Uh." "..I'll see you later." and turned to leave.

”Problem eliminated.”

12:56 PM

”Satisfactory?”

". . . See you." She spoke quietly, her eyes fixating on her food for just a moment before simply sighing. Yeah. Thank you Ashtarte. Truthfully, she wasn't sure.

”….This one is… Cute.” She went to show Fee a cat video on the phone.

Leaned over and glanced at the screen, smiling a little at the video. "Yeah. It is."

Is enjoying some ChaldeaBucks.

8:08 AM

Is so happy there is nothing important going on that requires her attention.

8:08 AM

Nothing at all.

8:08 AM

Nada.

8:08 AM

@deleted-role What a good ChaldeaBucks coffee.

Screaming and dying and being burned alive

Asteria spent her time in the cafeteria alongside Fou, singing and dancing around energetically as she knew this would most likely be one of the last times she could enjoy herself as such. It was only reasonable to think this as the Sealing Designation Enforcers we’re sure to come hunt her down after this.

Amane was joining in on the celebrations as the main issue at hand was finally over. Peace could return to Chaldea as it once was before the conflict occured. She herself was gracefully dancing along, enjoying the atmosphere as she did. It had been decades since she casually partied like this.

Asteria gave a cheery wave to Amane, enjoying the dancing company as it wasn't often that others were brave enough to come up and dance too instead of just staying to the side and vibing. "Hehe how are you feeling about everything so far~?"

12:54 AM

Amane gave a flirtatious smile to Asteria as she got the wave, returning it as well as she shifted closer to dance. "We have won and it's time for celebration of course~ A good chance to connect with people who will be sticking around perhaps, and just a good time to finally let loose a bit~"

The idol held her hand out to Amane, not minding the flirtatious smile she had given and returned her own chipper one. The idol was in a very happi vibe state after they had won though internally she was at least a bit sad from the loss of Francis, Hippolytus, and Romani. At least Fou was still alive even though he was drained of all his power. "Yup yup!! I completely agree which is why I should totally host a bit of a mixer to get people all connected and happy with one another~! Wanna dance~?"

Amane gladly took her hand to dance. She had heard about this Idol of Chaldea, and was glad to get to experience her personally rather than those dumbfounded fools on the sidelines watching the two beauties dance together. "I would love to~ Why don't we put on a fun display for those around to watch~" She said mischievously as she moved in closer to dance together with Asterai, perhaps closer than a casual dance partner would get.

The idol didn't mind it at all since everyone vibed in their own way, it was just most of them were vibing themselves by bobbing their heads or whatever. Though Asteria went ahead and happily danced alongside Amane, being all nice and fluffy about it. "Ehehe what sorta dance did you have in mind~?"

"Well I was thinking a dance where we could really get to know each other. A bit of 'bonding' as you could say~" As Amane continued dancing, it was rather obvious that it was a bit lascivious in its movements as she danced closely with the idol. It was a rather bold act, but Amane was in a playful mood and was having a bit of fun. It was in her nature to act this way, and she was just being open about it with the idol

"I'd love that! Always great to meet new people and make new friends~!" The half fairy let out a chuckle, not minding how close Amane danced with her, and even matched her pace as she switched the music up to fit the dance. While the idol wasn't as much of a spicy person as Amane was by nature, she definitely could be if she so chose to, her thighs don't lie after all.

1:32 AM

Amane was pleased with the idol matching her pace and dance, the older half fey was looking forward to seeing the skills of this idol. She could only go so far in a public setting, but she would push towards that boundary as much as she could with their dance. Amane did give the idol some respect and not do anything that may sully the image of the idol, at least nothing that any audience could notice. "Where are you heading after all of this? You sticking with Chaldea or you striking out on your own?"

And boundaries did the idol set, pretty strict ones where in she'd give Amane silent cues to stop at certain points and what not. Though for the most part Asteria was pretty much fine with what Amane did, she was enjoying vibing with someone so out front since most other people were a bit on the reserved side. "Hmm, I think I'll be sticking around here~ There is still a lot of work to be done and I would rather be somewhere where the Director can keep the Sealing Designation Enforcers off of me~"

Amane respected the boundaries to an extent, but was always one to go at her own pace. While most of her moves would be in line with what Asteria was comfortable with, some just might not be suited for an Idol, though Amane at least gave the courtesy of doing silent signals to warn the Idol to shift stances slightly so she wouldn't accidentally go past what she was comfortable with. Amane seemed to be enjoying showing off to the audience a bit though, giving them a taste of things the Idol wouldn't be able to. "Well that is good~ I plan on sticking around to assist any who use a specific style of magecraft as well as continue my own personal goals. Perhaps maybe one day you will help me out with that~"

"That's good, and I don't mind helping out. I love doing that kinda stuff anyhow~! What sorta magecraft are you working with anyhow~?" She smiles at Amane, really vibing with her new pink haired buddy. Asteria was pretty impressed with how bold some of her moves were, something that Asteria herself wouldn't do since she was a very PG idol like 95% of the time,. The other 5% consisting of singing songs with inappropriate language.

"Well, perhaps you will be able to help out~" She would giggle cutely a bit as she did a rather bold move in front of the audience before answering the next question "I practice Traditional Japanese Magecraft, where you connect to a piece of a divine body to perform it. That divine organ is within my body, so I act as a source for several mages within Chaldea." Her body continued to just move with the rhythm for a bit, clearly she knew very well what she was doing and what the audience would be seeing from her, even if sometimes she made it seem like the audience got an 'accidental' view.

Asteria lets Amane do her thing, vibing to the beat and matching her dance partner's rhythm granted her moves were 2000% more seiso than Amane's movements. The idol wasn't looking to catch a case of Twitter cancellation just yet you know!!! "Awaaa that sounds pretty interesting!! It seems pretty similar to fiddling around with magic crests~"

Amane was never tech savvy so she never really payed attention to Twitter or not, but her actions were not something crazy for her to do. As the dance went on, she would continue to tease the Idol slightly for her seiso dances, but wouldn't push her to do anything herself. She more was showing off the difference in freedom that she possessed, compared to the more restricted movements of the Idol, though at the same time would show that she was fully capable of doing pure and delicate movements herself. The Elder Half-Fey seemed to just be having a fun time teasing her junior. "I am not versed in the ways of your crests, as this magecraft is what I have known for the past two centuries. I find it works wonders though, but I was always talented with it"

The idol didn't mind the teasing, it didn't particularly affect her since she just returned any teasing with a wholesome comment or two. The idol was a very fluffy person after all. But Asteria was enjoying the attempt that Amane was making since it was something quite new to her. "Mhm mhm, who knows maybe exchanging some notes on crests and divine organs may yield something new and interesting~! And that's super cool that you're skilled in it~!"

Amane continued the teasing dance, showing off more to Asteria than the crowd might see. While the crowd might get a bit of spice, Asteria herself would get to see what Amane was truly capably of up close. If this weren't such a public event, it would stand to reason that Amane could be showing off even more. "There are many things I am skilled in~ I could teach you some of them in private if you want~"

Asteria may have bonked Amane a few times in order for her to chill the frick out, it was very public so getting to spicy was not good civ. Especially in a work environment like Chaldea ya know? But else it was quite the dancing vibe~! "I'm honestly quite curious in your crafts, your magecraft is quite interesting~! So I wouldn't mind coming to learn~!"

3:05 AM

As the dance continues, Amane would skillfully counter the bonks and make them look like they are just part of the dance, and also use the moment to put the Idol almost into compromising positions, but never actually doing so to preserve her image. Amane was proving to be a bit dangerous in that sense. 200 years of experience does wonders for teasing your juniors "Well there is that to learn, but I may have many other things to teach as well~ As your senior, I feel I should teach you plenty~"

Asteria lets out a laugh at this finding it all quite entertaining, though fascinated by how Amane had the guts to be so lewd in the public eye. "My my, well I do still have quite a bit to learn and learning from all sorts of people would expand my repertoire so it makes me curious what I'll find from your teachings~!"

"Well there are plenty of things you would need to practice in private so you can perform them in public without making slip up" As if to emphasize this, Amane does a move that with even a fraction of a mistake would have caused quite a scene, incorporating Asteria into it as well. If she were not knowledgeable in the less seiso acts, she would not know how to cover them up when needed like this "And some things you need a partner for~"

"I get it! Keeping the element of surprise on your performance is a bit part of what I do too!!" Asteria lets out a bit of an awkward laugh as Amane was being so risky at the moment and only Asteria seemed to know what she was doing. "But yeh, partners in work make for a lot!!"

"Someone else can always bring out the best in you~" She would dance a bit closer to the idol to whisper into her ear, being a bit less teasing than usual to not make her overly uncomfortable "Now everyone can really see how pure you are trying to be~ They needed someone a little more tainted to see your colors truly shine"

"Yup yup!! Contrasting acts really make both shine out better!! Ehehe, so thanks for your help with that." The bubbly idol gives the lewd fox a hug, nuzzling her cheek against the other lady's before giving a bit of a happy twirl. Basically radiating a huggable and fluffy aura the whole time as she do. "Well then my purity will make your taint shine out a bit too."

Amane returns the hug, in an oddly pure way, almost like an older sister giving their younger sibling a hug. She would end it with a couple head pats, praising the idol for her purity "I do hope to work with you more soon, but for now I think I should free you up, I can't keep monopolizing you when there are so many other adoring fans who may want to take the stage now~" she says a bit teasingly as she gives the crowd a wink. "Come find me any time if you want to chat or learn somethings from your senior~ bye~"

Asteria smiles at this, her elven ears perking up slightly as she does her own bubbly thing. At Amane's headpats she lets out a small chuckle, showing off some more of her bean bun energy. "Ehehe well I'll definitely come find you to chat sometime!! You're a really cool person after all~! Baaaai~!" The idol gives a happi wave to Amane as she leaves.

...and Veronica shows up, approaching the Idol. @MoonBowBishPoisonFist|Pormal

The idol gives Vee a really happy wave as she walks on over and gives her a tight hug. "Hullo Vee!! How are you~!"

"Ah, he--" She was going to greet her, but she was suddenly hugged. "--.. Hey. I'm uh. F-fine." from this close, Asteria really was pretty cute. She's glad that she's alright, after everything that's happened. "Uh.. I'll be.. gone soon. So I came to say goodbye."

"I'm happy you're doing fine~! But what do you mean by you've come to say goodbye? Are ya heading home after we wrap up? If so can't we just send letters back and forth?" Her elven ears wiggle a little bit as she nuzzles her cheek up against Vee's cheek. Exuding her typically fluffy and cuddly aura.

Ah.. Veronica's flustered already. "A-ah. Uh.. N-no. I'm uh.." "..Y-you know the uh.." It was difficult to find the words, how is she supposed to be able to focus like this..?

The half fairy lets out a chuckle before backing her face up a bit and tapping Veronique on the nose. "Boop~ No need to be shy now Vee just speak what you need to speak~!"

2:16 PM

-- Veronica took a deep breath. "I'll be taken by the Will of Humanity soon." What is it with Fae Girls and making her flustered? First Silk, then her..!

"Awa what? Nooo..." Asteria goes back to hugging Vee tightly as if not wanting to let go of her. "Nmm... That's saddening... I'm guessing they offered up help too before we engaged Solomon?"

"I-I'm sorry, Asteria." I-it's fine to return the hug, right..? ..It must be. Veronica hugs Asteria back..! "..u-uh.. I'm glad that I've gotten to meet you."

Asteria cuddles up to Vee, quite happy that her fellow was finally hugging back. "I'm really happy to have met you too!! When they finally take you, you need to do your best and stay safe mkay? Get all your meals in, adequate sleep and enjoy life a bit. At least as much as you can~!" The idol smiles brightly as she starts patting Vee on her back and ruffling her hair with her other hand as the two snug!

3:07 PM

Just a bit of worrying older sister idol noises, nothing bad right?

Flustered and Red in the face, Veronica takes another deep breath. "I-I'll try..! Uh.. can.. I ask you just one favor?" She didn't like asking for Favors but she has no choice.

"Hehehe you know you're suuuper duuuuper cute when you're all flustered!" The idol coos a bit as she nuzzles up to Veronique again then backs her head up and gives the other lady a nod. "Yup yup what do you need!! I'll always help ya out!"

"A-ah.." T-This is just cruel, her minds in disarray..! "M-my.. uh.. my Sisters. C-could you watch over them..?"

Asteria pats Vee on her cheeks and boops their noses together, then places their foreheads against each other. "Yup yup! I'll always do my bestest to help them both out~!"

Veronica's.. overheating..! She just smiles in response. Asteria is so close. This is bullying. It's embarrassing. W-what if there's someone watching..!?

Asteria smirks then cheekily kisses Vee on the nose then on the forehead. Afterwards she hugs Vee and starts humming a gentle and warming song. "Ehehe you better come visit if you can. I have no doubt that the Will is going to be a hard boss~ Buut who knows, if you ever show up again you better come say hiya!!"

"I-I will..!" "I-if I can..! I'll.. definitely come back.. and.." Deep Breath. "..Say Hello." Focus, Veronica. You can't lose here..!

”Good! You better, I’m going to get angry if you don’t and give you a good bonking!!” Asteria nose boops Vee a second time, finding her flustered friend quite adorable. “So Vee who else are ya planning to go around to before you’re taken?”

"..everyone, really." a Topic she can focus on, an anchor to help her ignore Idol's cuddles..! "..all of the friends that have helped me, all of the Servants that have saved me..!" "..I-I'm not sure if I have enough time to get to them all. But it wouldn't be right not to say goodbye to everyone."

”I’m glad you’re saying bye to everyone, and don’t think like that. You’ll definitely have enough time if ya give it your all!” The idol hugs Vee tightly, being like cotton candy, sweet and fluffy. Boing boing. “Anyone extra special to you you’re saying bye bye to aside from your siblings?”

"W-well, there's my Teacher and my Servants.." her face couldn't be redder. "a-and you." What is she saying? N-no, she's just too flustered to think properly anymore. "A-ah."

". . ." Is still sitting in the distance.

5:11 PM

"Oh. So that's the way she swings." Slurps.

2

Ast:"Dawwww you're being adorable!!!" Idol continues to happily hug Vee, producing a little cheery tune as she did so. "Thanks Vee!! Ehehe I bet your teacher and servants are all quite pleasant even if I've only met a few of them. An adorable master makes for equally adorable servants ya know~!" A chuckle was let out by the idol before patting Vee's cheek and pestering her with fluffy love! Aka lots of hugs, lots of boops, and a ton of snugs!

It's over. Her Sister is right there. She forgot. Alaya take her now She'll never hear the end of it Someones seen this Embarrassing, Embarrassing, Embarrassing..! For the first time in her life.. "M-Mercy..!" Asteria is undefeatable, no matter how strong Veronica'll become.

". . . Since my sister is a dolt as always..." With that the girl sighed, rolling her eyes before clearing her throat. "She obviously has a crush on you Asteria!"

5:19 PM

With that she sat down, crossing her legs and slurping on her milkshake.

"A-ah!? W-wait, Fee...!?"

"You're obvious as always sis. That doesn't mean you're at all able to put together words even now."

5:21 PM

Under her breath the girl muttered... 'Outside of myself... There really are no signs of intelligent life in my family are there...?'

"Daww now do you Vee?" The idol smirked and booped her buddy on the nose again with a teasing smile, something that Asteria didn't show off very much. "And hey even if she's a bit of a dolt she's suuuuper adorable no?"

"Gh...." Embarrassed noises. Why does everyone always insist she's cute or adorable..? Had Goetia resorted to these tactics... no, he wasn't cute at all. It wouldn't have worked.. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. T-that'll totally make it better, right? ...What would Lyta do in this situation? Right. ..Right..! Focus. Veronica grabs Asteria and lifts her up..! "P-please give me a Break..!"

"Awaa~! What are you trying to do now Vee?" Asteria continues to be a smug half fairy as Vee was getting more embarrassed. "Also also, your sister can totally agree with me that you just let out the most adorable noise!"

5:39 PM

"Eh. I'm used to it."

Veronica lets Asteria down at arms lenght, keeping her hands on Asterias shoulders so she can't attack again..! Also to keep herself from falling over. "I-if there's anyone that's adorable it's you though...!" What did she just say? S-she's not thinking at all anymore.

"Huueee thanks Vee, and you're being more and more adorable by the second!" The idol reaches out again aaaaaaaand boops the embarrassed lady on the nose yet again. "Ehe honestly if you weren't gonna be taken I wouldn't say no to that hehe."

Veronique: 280/480 (-200)

"Gh..!?" "W-what are you saying..!?"

"Hehe you can interpret it as you'd like~" Asteria gives Vee her characteristic wink before kissing her own finger then booping Vee on the nose again with said finger. "You're so adorable to tease you know that Vee? Buuuut I wasn't lying when I said that~"

Veronique: 80/480 (-200)

Veronica's grip wavers. She can't focus any longer. Dammit Fee...! Veronica'll swear her vengeance..!

And for the finishing blow, idol taking the chance when Veronica's grip wavers!! She goes in and gives Vee a very boing boing squishy fluffy hug!!! "Mhhhmm~ Very adorable~"

Veronique: 1/480 (-79)

..No..! Veronica won't falter..! She remains standing, albeit barely..!

"Ehehe look at you trying your bestest not to be embarrassed~ How bout we cool you off with a lap pillow?" Asteria tilts her head slightly as she asks this, then sits down on her legs, patting her lap to let her wavering friend take a mental break so she doesn't break~

6:12 PM

Veronique: 0/480 (-1)

down she goes.

Asteria chuckles at this and makes sure Vee is nice and comfy on her lap. Patting her head softly running her fingers through Vee’s hair. The idol singing a soft lullaby for her downed fellow Greek gal in Greek.

Slowly but surely stands up and leaves. She isn't a fan of watching this.

Asteria chuckled at her sleepy friend, continuing to pat her head and comb Vee's hair with her fingers. She watched Vee's face with a gentle look, though was struggling to see her face due to the idol's large chest. "How adorable~"

@Vormal/Asstolfo/Morban/Sword/Cat

..The Amazon eventually regained conciousness. Stirring awake. "..Hm..?" She didn't have a clue what was going on. Was she in her bed..? ..No, this is.. the cafeteria..!?

"Good morning Vee~" Asteria's eyes peeked over her booba as she smiled down onto Vee. She gave her a few more head pats as she hummed happily. "How was your sleep?"

.... She should get up. She should run away...! But she doesn't. She's too weak..! Resistance is futile. All she can do is accept her current position. "..I-it was.. nice." She definitely needed the rest. She's barely had a chance to, with all the people she's needed to say goodbye to.

Vee definitely got some nice feel of Asteria's thighs, they were honestly squishy looking but on the contrary were pretty well toned. So Vee just got a lot more head pats and what not. "That's good~ You need to keep your energy up you know Vee~?"

.. "Y-Yeah, I know." S-She'll use this as an opportunity to recover. Nothing more. T-Totally.

4:22 PM

"Thank you."

"Your welcome Vee, and if you ever need to rest and want a lap pillow you can just come find me~!" Asteria smiles so brightly at Vee her ears perk up a bit and she quite literally sparkles a small bit. "Ehehe~ I hope you aren't feeling as toasty as earlier?"

"--.. E-eh..?" Toasty..? Warm? "It.. is pretty warm if that's what you mean..!"

"Well I was talking about how flustered you were but that works too~" Asteria lets out a small chuckle and boops Veronique on the nose. "Want a snack?"

4:38 PM

"A S-Snack..?" Come to think of it. She's only had some cake today, huh? "..Sure."

"Daww an adorable stutter you got there Vee, now how bout we both get up and head to the kitchen~!" Asteria boops Veronica on the nose yet again, then pinches both her cheeks as the idol commits booli.

"I-I can't really get up if you're pinching me like that..!" She didn't even try to defend herself..

"Just one more!!" Another nose boop!! "Alright I'm done with that, lets get some snacks~!" The idol lets go of Vee's cheeks, clearly cheery about spending more time with her.

Veronica struggles to get up. Finally, freed.. She can breathe normally again..

And once she’s up, Idol pounces once more!! Coming in from behind and giving a very squishy hug!! Though let’s go soon and walks towards the kitchen. Turning back briefly to give Vee a wink before continuing on.

Veronica almost stumbled by the sudden attack..! But she remained standing. "G..geez.." She'll follow the Idol of course.

Arriving in the cafeteria, the Enforcer nods to her meek-seeming Servant as the two walk past the tables. "Want to sit somewhere quiet while I get food? You'll have to say what to order for you of course. And then I can introduce you to my other Servants here too~"

@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni

A mumble and murr came out of her as she went and found somewhere to sit down. Sitting in the chair and let her chin hit the table with a light thud, her hat tilted slightly and would go and wait for now. Not only was she here now but she now had to figure what she wanted to eat..She died some point in the 1890's, there should be more food now.

@Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae

Meanwhile Petra steadily moves down the line, unsure what to order herself, until she decides on what's probably (in her head at least) a safe choice... Pancakes! Bringing the meal over to Van, she nods happily, definitely sure it'll go over well...

@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni

Her head down and then she heard the sound of a plate placed on the table and raised her head up. There was Pancakes in front of her.... Pancakes.. Pancakes.. Pancakes! Her head shot up and tugged the plate to her, grabbing the syrup that was near by and letting it pour onto the pancakes. Pancakes.. With enough to her satification she grabbed the fork and forcefully took a part from it and began to eat it. Pancakes!

@Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae

Indeed, fresh pancakes and syrup had arrived, enough for two! Pleased at the reaction, Petra sat down across from the eager servant and began to dig in herself, not much dignity but plenty of enthusiasm! After a few bites, however, she remembered the other thing she had in mind... ["Atalanta, miss Aphrodite, would either of you be free to meet someone~?"]

She ate the food with gusto, the inclusion of the syrup made the showing a bit messy but that didn't stop her from eating her meal. And soon there would be a empty plate with the servant licking her fingers to clean up all said syrup.

@Petra Rosalie Altland (@Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae) - jump "Potentially so, dearie. How come?"

"Potentially so, dearie. How come?"

@Aphrodite, Goddess of Passion (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump ["I summoned a new Servant for you to meet! She's a bit shy and I'm not sure how to work with her, but I'm sure you can. I don't know much else yet, but she enjoys pancakes a lot. They can be messy to eat, after all..."] Going on along those lines and elsewhere, Petra watched Van clean her plate in the meantime as she continued with her own at a somewhat more relaxed pace. "That was quick~ I'll have to remember you really like pancakes. Oh, also, you know what our job is here, right?"

@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni

"A painter answering your call. To help Humanity as I possibly can..Without context it would feel like a joke.. Hue hue hue." She laughed, making a jab at herself. "I will do what I can..it is not much but it is something.."

@Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae

"Oh, a painter!" She nods in understanding, an unreadable grin on her face. "A lot of us came here just to see what we can do and enjoy it, I think anyway~ But you look pretty strong from what I can tell, if maybe not physically... You're contracted to me after all, I can tell."

@Crafter/Flower/Illya/Dad/Oni

"I-I guess that is true..I wouldn't have answered your request if there wasn't any potential in me..We shall see what happens.." The food eaten as she idled where she sat.

(rip, none of the servants wanna interact)

OOC flails in progression uncertainty

"We will for sure~ Hm, speaking of that, the other two seem busy, so want to go see what there is to do? It'll be a nice trip at least."

"It will be a nice trip at least.." She was well fed for now so it seem that she was good to follow whereever Petra wished to go!

With that, they're off to check whatever work Chaldea has available, and so on! Catching up to the present:

And so, the shorter woman led in the nun, just kind of gesturing around. "Here's the cafeteria, there's the kitchen."

She'd followed the shorter one in, looking around. Familiarizing herself once more with her surroundings. Then, she nodded. "Thank you." "Your name, it was..." She...got to thinking. They probably had met at some point or another before the incident but. Hm...

10:35 AM

"...Nicolo, right?"

That's really- All she could remember of this one's name

She has moved along, picking up a tray and heading to where she'd get something to eat... ....and as large a coffee as she could get. Black, with honey, no sugar or milk. ... Peculiar tastes, this one.

She softly bites into a waffle. She needs energy, having woken up from such a freezing sleep

"Despoina Marpesia Nicolo, yes." She blinked a bit at the large coffee a few times, before heading and deciding to get herself a large meal too. It was a cheat day for her, so... A big ole hamburger. Two.

She had sideglanced the woman's order, taking note of her meal. "Starving yourself won't do any good." She said, seeing as Despoina was eating. Well. two whole burgers

6:20 PM

The assumption made that she just hadn't eaten in too long

"...Nor will assuming things about others." Dee raised a brow at her before digging in again. "I eat just fine."

She'd put another bit of waffle into her mouth. Munching silently. In a delicate manner. Having dabbed her mouth carefully with a napkin, she spoke again. "Eating that quantity's unusual." "It was an observation."

6:29 PM

She'd drank from her coffee. Almost downing the whole thing. "I take it you're one of those health nut types."

"I'm an olympic athlete and an Amazon. I have to keep myself in perfect physique."

An Amazon. Was that so? "...I see." "Out of the norm for what I expected to find around here." She'd taken one last bite, eating a strawberry dipped in cream. "Rather short, for an Amazon."

1

"Amazons being tall is a stereotype and usually untrue." She glared at the woman, folding her arms. "You seem a little rude and nosey for a priestess."

"Only with my equals." She said, simply and in a matter-of-fact way as she downed the rest of her coffee. "The public is undeserving."

"I don't judge anyone upon things I wouldn't judge myself in."

8:18 PM

"...Although that last statement was more out of curiosity, I'll admit."

8:22 PM

"If it offends you, I apologize."

She picked her dishes up, ready to take them to cleaning.

"Do you know of anyone I could ask about this archive you mentioned, Despoina?"

"Unfortunately, that sort of thing is not particularly my forté, but I'm sure i you ask literally any of the non-master staff they can probably bring you to it."

She simply closed her eyes, thinking on that a moment. "..Thank you the same." "As little use as it was, it's valuable."

6:23 PM

Beatriz turned her back "Have a nice day." She then headed outside.

".....Little use. How dare you." Mumble, grumble.

~~cope and seethe~~

Returning to Chaldea, Petra's first thought, besides looking for the person she had in mind, was naturally modern cooking. That desire for a familiar taste took her to the cafeteria, idly glancing around at the people present as she walked up to make an order...

@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

Sitting by one of the tables was Theano, enjoying a plate of curry prepared earlier for her by Ciel as a way to thank her for the help with the paperwork. A simple way to relax and enjoy her evening away from the troubles that lingered on her mind for just a moment.

6:18 PM

@Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae

Taking her meal, a simple order of a German standard, bratwurst and sauerkraut with a roll of bread on the side, Petra looked for a table to sit by. Seeing Theano in the process, she unhesitatingly went over, sitting across from the Amazon as she calmly put down her tray. "Hello. Have you been doing okay?"

". . ." For a short moment, there was no response from the amazon as she merely stared at her food. Her gaze fixated upon it in a mixture of thought and perhaps slight hint of exhaustion before finally glancing up and seeing the woman. "Oh. I apologize. I am doing just fine... Petra was it? I remember we have gone on a mission or two together."

"Yes, two, I think? You left quite the impression on the last one, really~" She giggles for a moment, fading into a plain smile. "Hm, I was looking for you, I think... Right, it seems your choice went well. Nothing has happened there since, maybe you did hurt them enough? But you don't have to be worried about it." With that said, she goes back to eating quietly after a few moments.

Pausing for a long moment, Theano merely closed her eyes before resuming eating. "Hopefully it will stay that way. I would be lying if I said I did not intend to hurt them, however ultimately my goal was to make sure they would be too busy licking their own wounds to actively retaliate against us. The same way an army marches on it's stomach, people cannot live by faith alone. Though it seems my methods weren't appreciated by my servant's nearly as much. Regardless, I didn't expect myself to leave an impression of any kind."

"That one seems pretty cautious. Can't say I blame him, he's probably also had to do things where he needed to be..." She tilts her head curiously. "You didn't? That was a dramatic show, I liked it! Even if it meant I barely got out before they came to capture me, the other Servants helped. They're all yours, right?"

"They are yes. I have one more, Archer. His name is Hippolytus, Lytus for short. In order however: Archer is Robin Hood, Berserker is Penthesilea and Caster is Hua Tao. They're quite strong heroic spirits, though I do wish I'd clash less with them." With that the girl smiled slightly. "It was never meant to be a show. Though I will take it as a compliment."

"It is. Whatever it caused, not many people would be able to do that even if they knew it was the best choice." She gives her an unreadable stare for a few moments before the same quizzical look again. "Why do you choose to stand out then? Do you think they should agree with you before that?"

"I don't choose to stand out. I wouldn't sneak around if I did. If you mean my clothes... Its work clothes. Nothing more." The girl answered, taking another bite of the curry casually.

"Oh?" Seeing Fee continue eating, Petra spoke between bites of bratwurst herself. "I guess you didn't expect them to catch you even after you set that statue on fire. You snuck by to do that in the first place, right?"

"I almost got away as well yes. I was spotted by a single inquisitor. He did quite a number on me, truthfully I was not prepared for such an onslaught however I managed to survive and you know the rest. The fire was meant as a distraction and a fear tactic." She noted before humming. "I was aware of the fact you were sabotaging the boats. So diverting attention from them was a good call in my eyes."

"Sabotaging the boats? Oh, that must have been something they decided once we separated." She nodded approvingly. "I don't know if it changed anything for them, but maybe it did make them think we all had been doing that... Oh, did something happen today? There were more people in the hallways than usual, they say some rooms had damage."

"My door was hit with a hammer or something similar a bunch of times. The door lock is somewhat faulty and frankly it's bothersome but there is little I can do about it. I wonder what the commotion was about but frankly, I had been far too tired following the mission to help regardless." Theano nodded before finally asking. "What did you do once we split up?"

"Well, it seems like nothing bad happened, so it's fine. I just went back to Galway and stayed there, really, nothing happened so I came back for a bit. Maybe they aren't as strong as they seemed before?" She pauses for some seconds as if pondering. "Maybe they tried to do something here? I might ask one of the people in the hallway..."

"It might be wise to do so yes, I was quite curious to hear about what has been happening as well." Theano agreed before finally smiling. "Regardless, enough about work. I am quite curious about you if anything, I cannot claim to know that many people here just yet. Where are you from?"

"Meine Familie ist bayerischer Herkunft. That is, from Bayern, or it's called Bavaria outside the country, I think? Although it's been a while since I've spoken anything but English, it's made me fairly rusty at best in what I grew up with... I haven't been connected to anything from there since I left for the Clock Tower, really, years ago. Where are you from?"

"Bavaria huh. Interesting to hear it. Granted I understand your sentiment of barely if ever speaking one's own home language... Alas, it is not much different for myself. I am Greek you see, I have mentioned it before but I am an Amazon- or at least a descendant of them."

"Ah, an Amazon? I...think I've heard of those. Warriors, right? That Berserker mentioned them too." She nods. "So you're also completely separate from your home, or maybe even more than I am."

@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach

"My home is here, In Chaldea. At least that's how it is now. I don't view Greece as my home... Not anymore at least. I think I've had to abandon that the moment I've decided to join the church really. I doubt most of my family would ever wish to see me back. Regardless, yes. You are correct. I can't say Chaldea is anywhere near Bavaria either though." @Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae

@Theano Hippolyta Nicolo (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "You weren't as connected with your family even before that, I'd guess. And that's true. The way people speak and act is a lot closer though, isn't it? Compared to Greece."

"You weren't as connected with your family even before that, I'd guess. And that's true. The way people speak and act is a lot closer though, isn't it? Compared to Greece."

@Petra Rosalie Altland (@Fox/Wilt/[pending]/Wu/Lae) - jump ". . ." That comment made the girl shift a little in her seat, her eyes fixating upon her curry as the neutral look she normally wore became just a little more sad. She remained silent for a few long moments before finally speaking. "My family are amazons. Most of them are brickheads that say what they think."

@Theano Hippolyta Nicolo (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "You're a bit different, yep. Sometimes you say what you think, but most often you just do it. I guess that's why you focus on sneaking around and ambushing more, to be less like most of them?"

". . . I do prefer to be unseen yes, it's what I'm good at and there isn't a single point in me trying and failing to play into my weaknesses. As for speaking my mind, I wouldn't quite say I always do that nor that I choose to ambush my enemies to not be like them. That's just how I am. My sisters always had their own strengths. It just so happens mine isn't as honourable in their eyes."

@Theano Hippolyta Nicolo (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "The ones here don't seem to show it as much. Unless that's why you aren't usually together?"

"The ones here don't seem to show it as much. Unless that's why you aren't usually together?"

"They don't act like you're dishonorable or anything like that, or that it matters to them. At least, not openly."

"Desponia is generally too busy to pay attention to me. It has always been this way."

@Theano Hippolyta Nicolo (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "I see. You all work best on your own, I'd suppose. Did you ever want her to be more interested, though?"

". . . What's with all the personal questions, this is beginning to feel a lot like an interrogation." Theano spoke in a serious tone... Only to let out a soft chuckle. "Once? Yes, I did. Now? I don't really mind. I've grown far too used to it in order to really be affected by it. I've been coddled by them enough, I don't really want any more of it."

@Theano Hippolyta Nicolo (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "It's a way to learn about someone, isn't it? What people say, think, and do are often different, so all of them are part of the picture. I don't know what else you're interested in talking about anyway, unless you show me." Smiling plainly, she nods. "That's good, isn't it? Well, maybe, that they'd still coddle you isn't... But it's things like that I ask for, more of how you think. Although there really aren't that many different ways people think in the end, it still can be interesting to see the small changes."

Taking a moment to consider the woman's words Theano leaned back. Taking another bite of her Curry before her gaze finally fixated upon the woman in front of her. Such a curious pair of eyes fixated on her, endlessly staring ahead before finally... She spoke. "A fair argument. No wonder you are a mage. Though I don't imagine my thought process to be that extremely complicated really. I'm just a pragmatist." With that Theano thought for a moment before adding. "I disliked the fact every time I've done anything they kept trying to lessen my achievements and interests or pushed me in directions I didn't like. I was the runt so to speak, I was never as strong as any of them. It caused my sister to look down at me... Sure, it was in a protective way but I still despised it. My family was no better."

"Then you got the satisfaction and pride you wanted in having yourself be more pragmatic and 'dishonorable'. More of a sense you had control, maybe? Besides letting you not be held back from lacking that kind of strength." Petra meets her eyes calmly, matching them with an equally focused and curious stare, before continuing. "It's not a complicated or rare mindset either. I've sometimes heard that experience is something everyone needs in order to define themselves."

". . . I've got neither. I simply do what I need to." With that Theano kept eating away at her food. Her plate almost empty by now as she lingered in silence for a few long moments. "So Petra, you've been asking a lot of questions so allow me to pose one for you. You've mentioned being part of the Clocktower, how have your experiences been in it?"

"Even believing that alone is what makes you interesting~" Enough that she had been ignoring her own plate over that time, although she began eating again at that, replying between bites. "Ah, I can't tell you much about it, really, I didn't go that far there or in studying magecraft. They didn't see me as having much potential for their standards, but apparently what I could do was useful as an Enforcer instead. Which was fine, really, I learned a lot like what I just told you while doing that, and besides, they weren't wrong about what my family magecraft is capable of either. Even some high ranked mages are easy to trick like that, catching them is entertaining~" Cleaning her plate, she sits back with a lightly satisfied sigh. "Maybe I'll develop that magecraft further here though. I've been staying out of the way while doing what I'm told to, and helping out regardless occasionally, but Chaldea is really interesting! Being able to summon Servants especially, the ones I met or summoned, whether they're still here or not. There's plenty to learn from most of them. You know that too, right?"

"To an extent yes, however ultimately servants are fickle, untrustworthy a lot of the time and held back by ancient values that no longer apply to the world we live in. By their very nature they're idealists for the most part. Hell- they are ideals." Theano noted as she hummed for a few long moments. "My family excelled at physical magecraft. It made us targets of mockery and diminished despite our talent due to not actively seeking the root. Clocktower knows nothing of power or talent, it's too self absorbed to see reality."

@Theano Hippolyta Nicolo (@Andle | Cam, Ib, Rach) - jump "That much is for sure, they're caught up in their own standards. Does anyone even know what the root is?"

"A few people probably do. Not most however."

"Funny, isn't it? Most don't know what they're actually trying to find or if it will benefit them, yet the few who do benefit convince everyone else."

"Isn't that a matter for almost all things? From religion, to science... All it takes is one fool to claim something loud enough for everyone else to follow like sheep."

"Is there a fool who claims it, or a few who blindly copy them? All those things, perhaps, started true or with something to gain."

The recently awakened master candidate had been quickly briefed about what has happened while she was asleep. She still couldn't believe that she slept through seven singularities. It was strange to think that she was asleep for that long. She prayed for the three souls that had given their lives to the counterforce and had their lives taken once the counter guardians came for them. Once she was done with all of that she made her way to get some food, she wouldn't say it out loud but she was starving after that long slumber. She stepped into the cafeteria letting her blue eyes scan over the room she entered. She smiled and made her way over to get some food. @SaberLily | Ayanami

They seemed to be humming softly to themselves as well.

She pushed the thought aside and collected her own plate and moved to her herself some food as well. Not nearly as much as this other girl was getting through. She got her food and turned to face the girl, giving her a brief smile and a small hello before she went and sat down. Once she was seated she said a small prayer before she began to eat her food.

All the while maintaining the manners of a member of royalty as she ate.

She wasn't in a rush to eat her food despite how hungry she was. She learned early on in her life to savory the food and enjoy it rather than just consume it. Soon her plate had no more food left on it and Hana was satisfied. She stood up and took the plate with the utensils she used into the kitchen to wash them herself. She soon came out of the kitchen and went over to the table Ayanami was sitting at and gave Ayanami a polite smile. "Hello again~ do you mind if I sit here and chat with you?

What's your name?" She asked politely towards the girl she just met, it was beneficial to get to know the people you would be working with so Hana was doing just that. Perhaps they could even become friends, that though made Hana laugh a bit on the inside. She didn't have many friends due to her church duties so it would be a nice change even if it was only for a short while.

@Trent[12]/Alex[6] here when u get a chance, this is where we shall rp)

Trent had just say down with a light snack. Just a simple bowl of cereal, being in cryostasis meant he hadn't eaten in gods knew how long. And even though he was unconscious during that time he still kinda missed the taste of food.

@Alpharius //small because busy

ill do an essay its okay)

As he entered the Cafeteria, he took a brief glance around. He didn't know any of the people there or so he thought. He was still wearing his armor, that much never changed. Even his days in the church, he always wore something that covered his face out of principle. Principle is what he called it, but perhaps it could be something more. A sight escaped his lips as he grabbed a glass of water. He only ate by himself, that wouldn't change not even here. Doing a second glance around, he noticed a familiar face. Someone that he had known during his time with the Church, another churchie in a place like this. Fate works in mysterious ways. It had been a Church member that John considered a friend, a rarity now a days. He would only say one or two words to most people or straight up ignore him. John began to move towards the table, his footsteps heavy from the armor. The room reflected off his red goggles as he made his way towards the table and sat down. He didn't say anything at first but his lenses had met with Trent before he spoke "You look like shit." He said in a wry, sarcastic manner

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

Upon hearing the voice he would chuckle and look up at the male. "And I see old habits die hard old man." He would snicker after his comment before gesturing to the seat across from him. He would take another spoonful of cereal and take a bite before swallowing it. "Just came out of cryo, I assume you did too."

Old man. The sound of that had made him cringe underneath his armor. In reality, he had only been 6 years older than Trent so in that aspect he was an "old man" He took another look around, before his lenses met Trent once more. "Yes. I could of gone without it, honestly." He stated, before shoving his snack to the side. He had no intention of eating, especially with others in the cafeteria that he did not know. "I have heard talks of Servants, I have no magic. I do not think I will be able to summon them, perhaps it was a waste of my time to come here."

Trent would listen to him. In truth during his time as a Executor for the church he had come to see the older male as something akin to a father figure. It was honestly why he called him old man or pops all the time. He would however raise his eyebrow at the mention of not summoning a servant due to a lack of magic. "You don't technically need magic to summon a servant. Just magic circuits which are in pretty much everything if memory serves."

"They are weapons none the same." He spoke, his voice muffled by the helm he wore. Magic circuits, still he had no idea why he would need to use those. He had managed for his years in the church not using any magic at all. He shrugged at his own thought before he spoke again "A rifle has not failed me yet, it seems to be less complicated than these "Servants."

Trent would shake his head. He was a little annoyed at his way of thinking but knew it was merely his mind state. "Think of them as one of your squadmates. You tell them what to do and they do it, that's the basic summary. Though they are still people." He would finish his cereal and start drinking the milk that was left in the bowl.

He tilted his head at Trent calling servants people, that was not feasible. His red lenses had practically seemed like they were staring through his soul as he looked towards him, though that was how it always appeared. "There is no reason to give a weapon humanity." The man finally spoke, his voice broken up due to the voice emitter on his armor. "Weapons are weapons. It does not matter if they breathe and talk, they are designed to kill. That is their purpose, Squadmates have no correlation with those weapons." He spoke, still looking at Trent. He didn't understand servants and likely never would, or if he did it would take him meeting one face to face.

Trent would listen to his explanation before leaning back and looking at the ceiling. "They are the best of humanity, and some of the worst. Some are blessed and some are cursed. But despite it all we summon them to take the fight to what would harm humanity. But in them we also find partners and friends, wouldn't be surprised if some masters and servants turned out to be in a relationship." He would take a bite before looking at John. "They are not weapons in my eyes, they are heroes and villains and the inbetween who we call Heroic Spirits. But if you wish to see them as weapons I can't change your mind."

"I could do without the rhymes." John stated since Trent had unintentionally rhymed his words. "Anyway who has a relationship with a women is a failure as a "Master." They are made to kill, when their services are done they are expunged. They do not breathe nor do they truly live. Those who wish to befriend their weapons are the ones who had never been in combat. Weapons themselves are temperamental, such foolishness is what i feared about coming here." John remained silent as trent spoke again saying that he can not change his mind, then he finally spoke. "Good, my mind is concluded."

Trent would chuckle and take another bite of his food before looking at John. "Yep, you still got that same mindset. Think of it this way, if I was fighting beside someone I love I would fight much harser to make sure we both get back safely." He was trying to explain his own mindset to his friend in his own way. "Also I'll rhyme if I fuckin wanna."

He shook his head at that statement. "Love. Love is a fools feeling, fighting next to the one you "love" will make you feel as if you are fighting harder but in reality you are not. You are distracted, from your survival and mission. Love is a needless distraction in the realm of war." John understood Trent was trying to explain but he would have a better chance turning to the wall and explaining it to the pieces of brick that lay in the foundation

"Well look at the spartans from Rome. They had gay lovers which helped them fight harder in the field." He would try to give an example before shrugging and looking at the cafeteria doors. "But your mindset is your own. I believe love helps and you don't. At least it isn't a boring agreement."

"Roman Spartans." Through his voice modulator, it sounded like gears grinding together but it was clearly a laugh. Trent knew nothing of history it seemed and that statement showed it. "If more people shared my mindset, more would survive." He stated with a shrug "I have come to the understanding everyone here is rather soft."

Trent would facepalm at the realization of what he said. "Yeah yeah go ahead and laugh. It was a slip up." He would give a small grin before shrugging as he looked around. "I honestly like it that some people are rather softer here. Means I don't have to be straight faced all the time and watch what I say." As a first born male of a magus family and an executor he was supposed to be rather serious, but he didn't like acting as such.

Trent would take another bite of his foos before looking up, his brain stopping for a moment before working again. "Yes this is the cafeteria. Come, sit and chat." He says gesturing to one of the two open seats, one next to John and one next to himself aince he and John were across from one another. "Name's Trent, pleasure to meet ya love."

"Thanks for your courtesy."

Trent couldn't help but chuckle at her reaction to being called love before shrugging. "If being called love makes you uncomfortable just let me know. Name's Trent, just in case I haven't said it already. Minds a bit fucky nowadays." He would take another bite of his food before gesturing to the man across from him in the power suit.

After all they have known each other so much and yet he only gets a light chuckle or smirk out of the male. "So, lookin forward to summoning your first servant love?"

"I think it is better for him to be as he wishes!" "And, also, about the servant thingie.... Of course I'm looking forward to it. It gives me... Intrigue."

He would just chuckle and nod. He understood how hard it was to convince John. "It is rather interesting to talk to people from history and mythology. Though I guess at this point it is one in the same. I managed to summon Senju Muramasa."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Ooooh.... Really? Interesting. I wonder which servant I'll end up summoning.... Will it be a really destructive one? A cute one? A cool one? I wonder....!" This made Saboten pretty excited. There are lots of possibilities... Plenty. "You're lucky.... So lucky.... Waaaahhh..."

Trent would chuckle as he stretched and finished off his food. Now moving on to his drink as he would take a sip. "I wouldn't say lucky. But I am blessed to have the legendary Muramasa by my side." His aura had changed slightly to one of joy and happiness before he looked at Saboten. "I hope you get a very interesting one that will take care of you."

"....You... You're like a digitalis flower. A heart burning with passion. I can sense you have a certain passion.... It seems you like what you do, even with your words--"

Trent would blink at her comparison, a light embarrassed blush appearing on his cheeks. He couldn't help but scratch the back of his head, definitely embarrassed by being compared to a flower. "A digitalis flower huh...passionate about what I do..." He couldn't help but mutter his words now. He had never received such a compliment before, at least one that was detailed. It was usually just a good job, or adequate performance from his peers in the Holy Church.

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "I specialize in generating plants. That's my magic. That means, I also have knowledge about hanakotoba, the language of the flowers. I like to relate people to plants and flowers, it's easier for me!" Saboten smiled. "It might be weird for some people, though, I tend to mutter about those stuff...."

1:53 AM

"Comparisons make it easier!"

"I don't find it weird at all love...just a bit embarrassed to receive such a compliment." He glanced at her again before averting his eyes, taking the moment to collect his thoughts and then think long and hard about the next words to come out of his mouth. "What kind of plant do you think you are?"

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "...A compliment? Well, it kinda is..." She thought about it. She said it more like, in an "identify this" kind of manner, but it's okay to take it as a compliment. "Me? Well, my name means cactus, and it can refer to both the plant and the flower. A cactus flower... Uh.... This is kinda...." Saboten scratched her cheek, feeling embarassed. "A-A cactus flower can mean lust.... and..... you-know-what...." She inhales. "But, hey, it can mean warmth too! That's good!"

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump Trent would blink at the meaning of a cactus flower before scratching his chin in interest. "Well considering lust and passion is pretty similar I guess that just means we are alike in some ways. And since my heart is burning you can connect that with warmth." He was simply trying to make sense of what the meanings of the flowers are and how they correlate with one another. Maybe they meant something when paired together.

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "W-What are you saying!? Doesn't that sound v-very.... intimate!?" She stuttered, embarassed. That sounds dangerous. She crossed her arms. "A-Anyways--! You're just saying something with a poetic allusion, right? I hope so! Dear god, I feel like I'm going to explode......"

"In a way I guess you could say it is very intimate. But in all honesty I just like to find the correlation in things. My brain likes to find patterns or finding comnections to things is all. So yeah, I'm mostly just saying something with poetic allusion while also trying to find a pattern or connection." He was definitely a weird one. He didn't seem to have one shameful bone in his body.

@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "...Oooh... You're just making a correlation. Alright. Sincerely, those words made me feel something flustered...." It seems that Saboten is already a little more stable and less anxious after hearing that. "Eheheh.... You're a total casanova. I wonder how far you can go...." She smirked smugly.

Trent would blink at her words before gaining a small smirk of his own. Bordering on tempting and teasing as he would prop his head up with one hand, staring into her eyes. "Why do you wanna know? Are you willing to find out yourself love~?" He was being a little bit more daring now. Deciding that he would call her bluff. "But to be so forward as to ask me how far I would take this...isn't that rather intimate? We should at least get dinner first don't you think?" (edited)

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Hmm, nah. I wasn't talking about that. I was just wondering how many times you have had your heart broken!" She smirked even more. Saboten wasn't feeling much fear at the moment, since she wasn't thinking romantically after all. "You seem like a very easy person to convince, after all...."

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump Trent couldn't help but laugh at the mention of having his heart broken. It took him a moment to regain his composure before wiping a tear from his eye. "Dare I say it love, but I've never had the opportunity to fall in love before. And as for a easy person to convince well...that remains to be seen."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Is that so? I thought you gave up easy and then left for someone else.... That is why I said so." So, that's how things are.... Saboten thought it was just all quite easy and game-like, but it seems to be a bit more complex.

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump "I'm not the kind of person that gives up so easily." He would scratch his chin for a moment before looking at her. "You seem like the type who is loyal to a fault, though that is just my own opinion on first glances."

"I'm not the kind of person that gives up so easily." He would scratch his chin for a moment before looking at her. "You seem like the type who is loyal to a fault, though that is just my own opinion on first glances."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "You think so? I don't know myself that well... I wouldn't know what to say about it." Saboten thought about it a bit. Truth be told, she doesn't know if that's accurate with her, but if that's what he thinks of her, she's fine with it. "I'll accept your opinion!"

He would just chuckle at her accepting his opinion so easily before leaning back in his chair. "My opinion will change the more we get to know each other. Besides, you seem like a great person to be friends with Sabo." He would finish off his drink before tapping on the table. "Any interesting facts about yourself?"

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Really? Hmm... Thanks!" Saboten cheered up. She's not used to have any friends. "Anything interesting about myself? Huh. I already told about my plant-generation magic, so maybe I should say another thing. Hmmm~ Let's see..." "What about.... Hmmm.... I like meat. I.... I think that's interesting enough."

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump He would tilt his head curiously at the mention of liking meat before nodding. "I see. Hmm, guess I should say some facts about me. I'm a high executor for the Holy Church. My specialty is in thrown weapons such as my Black Keys. And that's about all I can think of."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "....Black keys.... Mhm.... I see, I see..." Saboten nodded repeatedly. "In my case, I don't have much knowledge about weapons. If I find one in a future, maybe I can ask you for help!"

"....Black keys.... Mhm.... I see, I see..." Saboten nodded repeatedly. "In my case, I don't have much knowledge about weapons. If I find one in a future, maybe I can ask you for help!"

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump He would give a little small chuckle before nodding. "Once the book is done then I will show you what they look like. And if you do find one Muramasa would probably be a better choice, but I am flattered that you would choose me love."

He would give a little small chuckle before nodding. "Once the book is done then I will show you what they look like. And if you do find one Muramasa would probably be a better choice, but I am flattered that you would choose me love."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "You know... I said it because... That. Finding another Muramasa would be a little difficult." Hmph! She crossed her arms again. "So, I thought you would be reliable with weapons!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

"You know... I said it because... That. Finding another Muramasa would be a little difficult." Hmph! She crossed her arms again. "So, I thought you would be reliable with weapons!" Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump He would nod in understanding before leaning back and lookking to the ceiling. "I've only trained in a few...but I do hope not to disappoint you." He would give a soft smile, it seemed almost genuine.

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Alrighty~" Saboten smiled. She appreciated that help. "I don't think you'll disappoint me. If anything, you may make a mistake, but it will only be one and that's it." "...Huuuuh." "I think I'm hungry."

"Alrighty~" Saboten smiled. She appreciated that help. "I don't think you'll disappoint me. If anything, you may make a mistake, but it will only be one and that's it." "...Huuuuh." "I think I'm hungry."

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump Trent would nod at her reply, understanding the simple fact that he may make a mistake. "I see. But you underestimate my stupidity." He was partially joking. "Well we are in a cafeteria love, get you some food."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Hmm, hmm, what should I get....~" Saboten stood up. She searched for some tea, poured it into a cup, and then searched for some cookies. After that, she went back to the table to sit down. "Well. We can keep talking. Also, I think coldie fits his nickname.... He doesn't seem to have spoken much." After saying this, she took a bit on a cookie.

"He's a naturally quiet guy." He would grab himself another burger and a soda before sitting back down. "But speaking of nicknames maybe I should come up with one for you." He would gain a small smug smile as he pretended to close his eyes in thought.

"He's a naturally quiet guy." He would grab himself another burger and a soda before sitting back down. "But speaking of nicknames maybe I should come up with one for you." He would gain a small smug smile as he pretended to close his eyes in thought.

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "You already gave me one. You called me Sabo. I'm okay with that one!" Saboten dipped one of her cookies lightly on the tea, and took a bite. "I should be the one thinking about a nickname for you."

Trent would shakes his head before smiling. "No, an embarrassing nickname. You can call me Turtle for my nickname. As for you, think your nickname will be CF, Cactus Flower."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump Munch, munch. "Turtle? Why turtle? Are you very slow or something....? Though.... Cactus Flower fits me. I mean, it's my name. What a pretty nickname, thank you!" Saboten sipped her tea. "Then, why should I call you turtle?" She tilted her head, confused.

Munch, munch. "Turtle? Why turtle? Are you very slow or something....? Though.... Cactus Flower fits me. I mean, it's my name. What a pretty nickname, thank you!" Saboten sipped her tea. "Then, why should I call you turtle?" She tilted her head, confused.

@Saboten Naeno (@neppy :3c | Saboten 🌵) - jump He would scratch his head, a little embarrassed before coughing into his fist. "It's a nickname one of my peers gave me after seeing me sleep with my head under the covers." In truth it was embarrassing, but be found the nickname quite funny and endearing over the years. The story of how he got it less so.

"Pfft...." Saboten tried not to laugh. Although, it was too late for that, as she began to laugh loudly. "Gahahaha, what are you, a little kid!? Now I can UNDERSTAND why do you have that nickname!" Then, she began to fix her posture again. Enough laughter. "I thought the nickname was funny, so I'll call you that from now on, little turtle!"

Trent would chuckle and just shakes his head with a smile on his face. "Well you did tell me what a Cactus Flower stands for, so I figured I should tell you what my nickname stands for. Little cactus flower~" He was actually starting to enjoy her company more and more. Being around someone so vibrant was definitely new.

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "I see, I see...." Saboten, once again, sipped on her tea. "That means.... Coldie knows that nickname too, right?"

"Yeah, he bout snapped the guy like a twig. Had to convince him everything was fine." He would take a bite of his burger and a sip of his soda before stretching. "Johns a good guy. Helped me through a lot."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Nice. It seems he's a good guy. ~" Then, she finished eating all her cookies. "Maybe he needs some change, or a break, or something. Who knows?"

He would chuckle and nod. "Maybe he should take a break." He would finish off his burger before taking a sip of his soda. "By the way, thank you for this talk. It has been nice."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump "Oh... It has been nice for me too. Thanks to you, too! Also, coldie might just need a break. I need a break too..." She put her finger on her chin. "Maybe I should try to summon a servant...."

Trent would stretch and shrug before smiling. "I do recommend it. Might try to summon again and see who I get."

@Trent Edwards (@Trent[12]/Alex[6]) - jump Saboten stood up and stretched. Well, that was a long talk. "Alrighty~ So.... I'll see you later, then! And I'll see coldie later, too! Bye bye, turtle!!"

Trent would just chuckle and give a two fingered salute before nodding. "See ya later then Cactus Flower."

End

Trent would walk in and hum as he looked over the food to buy. Debating on what to get as he didn't know if he wanted his usual or something different. "Go ahead and order something. I'm still debating on what to get." He would continue to look at the menu before sighing and ordering a burger with fries and a drink, extra bacon and pepperjack cheese. (edited)

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"Very, well. I'll have a bottle of red wine. Two italian style pizza. Alongside some carbonara please. That would be all." She remarked before calmly glancing at Trent. Going rather for expensive meals as opposed to cheap ones like fast food. Truly an unusual woman..]

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

Trent would blink at her order before shrugging and paying for the both of them, grabbing his meal and finding a table to sit down. The moment he sat down he would open the wrapper and take a bite, his blank face turning into a slight smile. "Can't get enough of burgers. Especially when done right, the juiciness just can't compare."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"You have an interesy with fast food? Honestly, I prefer my food much more lavish and extravaganza if you ask me. If you are going to eat, might as well make it a special moment. Beats the rations quite welll in the Holy Church while we were training. Sheesh, MRE's are a pain.."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"Well, I'm from a Magus family. Rich landowners in Ireland so I'm used to lavish food. During training the MREs were a welcome relief to having to be stuck up. I preferred the curry ones, and I kept getting lucky and getting cheese spread so I traded with a lot of people. After finally going on my first mission I tried a hamburger and got hooked on certain foods that are quick yet still delicious." He took another bite out of his burger and then a sip from his soda. "It's also why I wear casual clothes."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"The American MRE is a personal favorite of mine. The Beef Ravioli is nice. Better than anything else there to be honest. Never liked the others, tasted it and well. I had to eat it all down. Can't complain or otherwise starvation is going to kill me before any Dead Apostle." She remarked as she patiently waited for her thin crust pizza to be cooked and served. "Surprised you haven't gotten fat."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"Ooh, the beef ravioli was good yeah. We had a guy that could smuggle stuff in from the outside. He would get us pepsi's and stuff like that. Never got caught." He would tap on the table a few times, mainly just as a distraction for himself. "I have a high metabolism, plus I work out to stay lean. Nothing too heavy, just enough to burn calories."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"Heh, surprised you can trust someone not to rat you out to the higher ups then Trent. Because honestly, our boot camp was near the Vatican and they reward executors who would let's say rat out his fellow executors." "Needless to say, it is another form of test. To see how much you trust your own, and a test of loyalty as well to your teammates."

5:35 AM

"The rats, didn't make it out alive."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"We didn't have anything like that. I did get to see the Vatican once. It was impressive. Did you guys have any breaks to celebrate like a holiday?" He would look at the menu again, wondering if he should get a pizza and strawberry sundae.

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"We were allowed to wander around Roma. Unfortunately you aren't allowed to leave it until you finished training. The more skilled and lucky ones were promoted immediately to Low or Middle Executors. Unfortunately I was one of the many still in training. At least I am allowed to go on missions now." She would then pointed to the straweberry milkshake as her recommendation.

5:40 AM

"We could just share the pizza"

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"We were allowed to wander around Dublin after training as well. It's kinda weird how many people have a thing for people in a priest get up." He would look at the strawberry milkshake and nod before giving her a smile. "Well that's mighty kind of ya." Even though he kept talking about Ireland he didn't seem to have much of an accent.

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"Seriously? People has a thing for a priest get up? That is the first time I am hearing about it. Although it is probably not too unusual about that. At any rate, people are weird sometimes so, it is to be expected I suppose.." Remarked the executor in training once again. Still, it appears there are some similarities as to how executors are trained. "Don't worry too much about it amico."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"Yeah it was pretty weird. Not only that but we were allowed to go out on Halloween just in case ghouls and the like were set on the city. I saw so mamy skimpy versions of a priest and nuns get up. I was maybe sixteen at the time." He woukd scratch the back of his head, wondering if that was why he was kind of a flirt now due to so many girls flirting with him during his time in training.

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

Removing her ponytail and deciding to re-arrange her hair once again. She would breath a sigh of relief before beginning to fix her hair. Still, skimp outfits of priests and nuns huh? She isn't so surprised considering the modern era. Nor does the Pope and his Cardinals care really. Wouldn't be too surprising that some cardinals do grab some women to pleasure them. "Skimpy outfits hmm? What about you, pleased to lay your eyes on a revealing nun outfit, Trent?"

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

Trent would blink at the question before shrugging. "If the woman in question is beautiful then yes. Though I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that." He would pop one of his shoulder, the pop being quite loud and crisp. *"Damn, I knew I was rusty but being in that cryo made my joints all stiff..."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"I suppose that is a fair answer, speaking of having a thing for priest get up. What do you have as a kink? Come now, we are both executors, no need to hide it. You are a manly man are you not?" She teasingly said as she stared into his eyes, her almost hypnotical eyes that are so easy to get lost to. With that constant smile on her lips..

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

He would rub his chin, deep in thought for the question before shrugging. "I don't really know. I haven't had the chance to think about that kind of stuff lately. But, maybe....nah I don't know." He couldn't help but be honest, after all he was a virgin. He was aware of all the kinks and stuff but he couldn't tell what his were.

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"I see, well then. Thought you would have had something up considering you were flirting with me before we sparred. At the very least, mind telling me how many women you have taken to your bedchambers at least?"

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"Ah...well...none actually. I wanted to wait until I was eighteen and then a lot of shit happened then got put in cryo." He would take another bite out of his hamburger purely out of embarrassment. "I don't really know what I like cause I have never done it. Never had the chance to fall in love or anything either."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"You're that type of executor? Guess you guys really take that celibacy real seriously huh? Oh well, guess you might be a late bloomer or something as they call it. Hope you managed to unfreeze down there too. Otherwise, I can't imagine it would be comfortable." She spoke without absolutely any filter at all. "Never had an interest in any of the female executor? One time this guy in training got a female executor pregnant."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"Oh I didn't care about celibacy. I just wanted to wait until I became an executor so that I could have some sort of a life. I did have an interest in one chick, but she got killed by a Dead Apostle. Was the deciding factor on waiting until I became an Executor." He was blatantly honest with his replies, after all he saw no reason as to not be. He spoke without a filter and didn't mince words. "What about you?"

"Is that so? Well, that is quite interesting, and quite tragic. As for me, I have yet to find a man or woman who has yet to caught my eye with unbelievable beauty or charm. Well, maybe eventually I'll encounter them and see how it goes." "When I was younger, I did liked that one strong guy... but eh never really took a chance."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"You should have taken the chance. Live with no regrets is my advice. If you even think you like someone just ask em." He would finish his burger and start on his fries. "There are plenty of good people here, beautiful, charming such as yourself. Maybe you'll find one equally so."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"Maybe I should have, or maybe it wouldn't have went anywhere. Eh, who knows where he is now. Probably dead or still slaving away somewhere hunting some elusive Dead Apostle. There is always work in the Holy Church. And will never run out." Raising an eyebrow at his statement, her smile turned into a grin. "Flirting with your subordinate? Quite inappropriate there... Trent Edwards."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"To work for the Holy Church means you don't get to retire, you just die early." He would take a sip from his soda and hums before gaining a small yet teasing smile. "Here we are both Masters in my eyes. Besides, I did say live with no regrets. And there is hardly anyone here as beautiful as you thaf I have yet to see."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"Throw yourself off a cliff Don Juan." She would then take the nearby tissue, form it into a small ball and throw it towards Trent. Rolling her eyes all the while. Aiming for his eye with this shot.

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

He caught it before laying it on the table. "Alright no more compliments then. Could have just said so." He commented with a shrug before finishing his fries and sipping on his soda. "You got any interesting stories about training?"

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

And as soon as he spoke those words. The crimson haired executor would be served her meal. Freshly baked cheesy pizza topped with some basil leaves but overall. It looked rather tasty and smelling very very fresh. And there alongside it, an unusual party. None other than the bottle of expensive red wine, cold to the touch. "Well, well, well.. where did this interest come from?"

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

"Well, always wanted to know what it was like for other trainees. You share some stories of your training and I might share with you a nickname I got during training." He would take another sip of his soda before tapping his book a couple of times.

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

Taking one of the delicious hot pizza slice and adding plenty of hot sauce on it, she took a bite. After swallowing, she would contemplate briefly, needing some time to clear her head to think of a story. Perhaps her real identity before might prove interesting. "What if i told you, I was a mage?"

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

He would blink for a moment before swishing his soda in his mouth and then swallowing. "Wouldn't be the most outlandish thing I've heard. Certainly rare but not unheard of. Least where I am from."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"Well, I didn't neccessarily get along with my colleagues. Most distrusted me and prefer not to associate with me. In great fear that the magus among them was no better than a sheep in wolf's clothing. I was almost always disciplined by the High Executor teaching us."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

Trent would nod in understanding, he was rather bullied by his colleagues but the High Executors in Ireland at least treated him fairly. "Yeah, I can relate to that a bit. At least the not getting along with colleagues bit."

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

Taking one of the pizzas and offering to feed Trent, she would wait expectantly and calmly cross her legs once again. Her other hand occupied with the glass of wine on her hand. "Well, you are lucky it stopped there"

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

He would blink at the offer before shrugging, deciding to play along. He would lean forward to get within reach. *"Guess I was. But that's neither here nor there."** He would open his mouth and close his eyes, curious as to why she wanted to feed him.

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

And there, she would feed him and place the tip of the pizza in his mouth. Waiting for him to take a bite as she sipped that delicious wine. Indulging on the pleasures of a good meal. Nothing improves morale more than food.. "Say ahh."

@Trent[12]/Alex[6]

Trent would take a bite of the pizza, rather curious as to why she was feeding him. He would chew for a bit before swallowing and then sipping his soda. "So, any particular reason you wanted to feed me?" He was rather confused as to why she suddenly fed him, but didn't really care in the end. The pizza was good at least. (edited)

@Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria do you wanna continue this or?
