[Someone is standing in the last place they ever expected to be again - Prospero's streets.]

Wh-what in the...

[She reaches into her pocket and finds, of course, a phone - just not the one she was carrying a few minutes ago.]

[Video]

WHY THE HECK AM I BACK HERE?!

I was busy, dammit! Finally actually doing my job! Are you telling me this stupid place still needs saving too?

...

...

...these phones still work the same way, right?

So much for the New Year being off to a good start.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

Oh, it's you. Yay.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

Yes, yes. I'm sure you're just so thrilled to see me, Gibil.

[ What's this? Gil isn't actually being unreasonable for the time being? Probably only because memories are starting to stir up. ]

He still hasn't returned. And since he didn't seem to return with you, I can't exactly accuse you of kidnapping him.

[soulsborderline]

If I was capable of kidnapping a grown man that can fight wild animals barehanded without hurting him, there's a better catch than your buddy back home anyway~.

[king_of_heroes]

You know that's a horrendous lie. No man could ever compare to my dear brother.


Though this does bring up a rather interesting question. You arrived back at the point in time that you were taken away, correct? I wonder what would happen to those of us who were already departed from the world of the living before being summoned here.

I assume you get to go back to being a corpse. Or dust. Heck, you're not even dust by now if you've been dead for six millennia...

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

What are you talking about? According to the current year, I've only been dead... no more than six years.

[ Yes, this is going to be fun. ]

[soulsborderline]

You said yourself you were from ancient Mesopotamia, King of Geniuses. Emphasis on ancient.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

That was before The Holy Grail War, Seher. But that's far too complicated of mess to even bother explaining to a girl with such little intelligence.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I wouldn't understand.

Besides, why would you even care about the Holy Grail? You predate Judaism, let alone Christianity.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

How many times do I have to say it? Everything in the world worth value is already mine. It doesn't matter if it came into existence long after my death.

Nevermind that it turned out to be corrupted and set fire to the city after that fool of a priest got his hands on it, not to mention making me mortal again, but that simply made things far more interesting.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

That doesn't sound particularly Holy. Then again, Angels are giant monsters...

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

Of course it wasn't. Man was never meant to gain that much power. At least the two wars provided some form of amusement. I even had the pleasure of crossing swords with and defeating the mighty Alexander the Great. Probably the most worthy enemy I've faced in my entire life.


And I'm not so sure about that. V/V is pretty small. Even if she claims she used to be a giant whale wth trees growing on her back. Weird girl.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

If I claim you're making stuff up again, you're just going to keep talking, so I won't.

And it's funny you should mention that. She sure as hell sounds like the same thing, except my Angels don't turn into cute morons when they die.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

You're learning.

That'a a shame, really. If there were more people like her in the world, maybe I wouldn't hate you all so much.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

Got a thing for dopey blondes?

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

Not really.

[Although considering his choices, it sure seems that way. ]

She's just more agreeable.

[ It also helps that she actually, you know, listens to him. Despite it being a terrible thing in most cases. ]

[video]

[soulsborderline]

More obedient to your majesty?

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

She does things for me of her own accord. She's already said if she didn't want to, she wouldn't.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

Seems like kind of a pushover.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

Don't be so jealous.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

I'm just worried about you taking advantage of a weird little girl who may or may not be an abomination from beyond human comprehension.

[video]

[king_of_heroes]

It's not like she's going to suddenly turn into a crazy monster hellbent on destroying humanity any time soon.

Though that would be interesting to watch.

[video]

[soulsborderline]

I am not ruling anything out in this place.

[king_of_heroes]

...Guess you've got a point there. I wouldn't have thought I'd ever be the one to end my own life, but this island seemed to find some sort of twisted humor in it.
