001- gotta find Homer [action]

[macebronia]

[The communicator or being summoned into a new war really didn't matter to Rider at the moment. It was a new day, a new time, and another chance to fight and conquer. More importantly, there's a book he needed to find. Several books, at that. And also the nearest game store. First stop on his trip? The Bookstore, of course. So, he'll come bursting in like the Kool-Aid Man or Macho Man in a Slim Jim commercial, probably knocking the doors out because really what is self control. He's much more gentle when going through the books, but like hell if that means he's putting them back in the right places.]

Aha! Found it!
[He excitedly hugs the book in question as he makes his way up to the front. This time would be the time he actually DOES conquer the world.]

[Issei is already in line to buy books, and thus couldn't possibly miss Rider's approach. For a moment, he stares, before breaking into a smile.

He has utterly no idea if Rider remembers him, but still:]

It's nice to see you, Alexander.

[macebronia]

Again? I am quite flattered that there is a person out there intimidating me, because I've never seen this place before and I don't remember you. Unless you're Waver. In that case, glad to see you finally got your wish, kid! [Issei gets a large pat on the back anyways. because personal space what is that]

That doesn't matter though. Fresh territory, a clean slate! Where exactly are we?

[unknownrival]

[Well, that confirms it - ow.]

You were summoned here once before - ah, this is Prospero. Island near America. I'm sorry you don't remember, but it was definitely you.

[croibhristeoir]

[Guess what glasses-wearing Servant works here, Rider?]

[Guess who just choked on his coffee because THE FUCK WHERE DID YOU COME FROM AGAIN?!]

[macebronia]

[Holy crap he didn't expect to see you again either! Rider is all smiles. It's just like old times.]

Haha! Well, this is certainly a surprise! I never thought I'd get to meet you on the battlefield again!

I didn't expect you to be... working here, however.

[croibhristeoir]

Rider, when did you get back-

[THE FUCK DUDE I'VE ALWAYS WORKED HERE]

[SO CONFUSED]

-wait, you don't...remember?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ It might be hard to tell there's someone behind the obnoxiously large and golden cash register, but there's a familiar ahoge bouncing around as she types in the latest customer's purchases... ]

[macebronia]

[Well, he wasn't expecting to see another familiar face, that's for sure. Though for all her show and talk about beign a king, he certainly didn't expect her to be working for THE MAN or whoever ran this place.]

It's been a long time, Saber.

[ex_cashcow493]

It has been a few months, but I would not call it a long time. [ Peering around it towards him. ] Have you returned to us then, Rider?

[oneinamillion]

[And on the day Lion decided to browse the bookstore to learn more about this place and find useful books--a giant crashes through the doors.

Excuse Lion while he forgets his manners and just stares at this very large man for a few moments.]

[macebronia]

[Rider offers a friendly smile to the strange kid staring at him...]

Something the matter, kid?

[oneinamillion]

[Lion blinks a minute then quickly gathers his bearings, shaking his head a little and offering a small smile in return.]

No, it's just...pardon me, are you new here?

[He knows he hasn't been here long either, but he's pretty sure he wouldn't miss seeing a big guy like this around.]

[crouching_sin]

[There is an angry-looking white-haired man holding up one of the few books he's shoved aside.]

Tossing a few books aside is one thing, but this whole shelf was tossed out of order by your recklessness. At least put some of them back, you lumbering fool.

[macebronia]

[Lumbering fool...normally, a man of his size would get angry... instead he just laughs.]

Those words bring back fine memories, friend! Why stay here and sort books all day when I have the rest of the world to conquer?

[crouching_sin]

A few reasons. One - you are not likely to conquer the world because this is not your world. Two - you just made my job much more difficult.

[He's not even going to touch the 'friend' part but. ... Wait a second.]

... Homer, hm?

[... His expression softens very slightly.]

At least someone appreciates the classics.

[rocker]

[ Just going into the bookstore to look around a bit, don't mind David here, and-- oh, a giant in the middle of the bookstore.. at least it's not Goliath so it's k, it's k.

Clearing his throat a little here, since he needs to pass but he's bein polite over it.. ]

[macebronia]

[Oh its some scrawny guy. Rider just looks down at him, not realizing he's kind of blocking traffic.]

Speak up, boy! I couldn't hear you.

[rocker]

Forgive me, I was merely wondering if I could pass, that is all. [ it almost feels a little strange to be called 'boy' though, but.. not bad, entirely. ]

I am afraid I have not seen your face here before though.

[caliberill]

[Oh come on, what was-- standing there across from the other, Nate has his hands on one of the geography books when he sees the other there. T-the doors just...

Hope you don't mind him staring.] What just...

[macebronia]

The king of conquerors has arrived!

Excuse me, do you know where I could find an atlas around here?

[caliberill]

Uh-- [At the question, Nate gives a glance around before his gaze settles on the books in front of him. .. Oh. He points at the atlases in front of him, still thrown off.]

Here?

[lordsexybritches]

[Waver had been passing by the bookstore when he saw out of the corner of his eye Rider's very distinctive profile within. There was no one on earth who cut such an impressive silhouette, and turning to get a better look only confirmed it.]

[Rider was back.]

[Something in Waver's chest clenched tight like a vice when he pushed opened the door to the shop and walked inside. He was causing a mess-- of course he was causing a mess, it was Rider and that was what he did-- but even that couldn't make him feel annoyed or irritated.]

[He was back, and Waver had been so sure that he would never see him again after he disappeared.]

Alexander.

[macebronia]

[Oh this guy looks mighty familiar, and knows his name! and he'll turn and give a wave....to waver. He kind of gets the feeling that its him, but only one way to be sure.]

You look awfully familiar...

[action]

[king_of_heroes]

[ Bro, bro. What the fuck are you doing to his bookstore.

THIS WOULD BE A STARE OF DISAPPROVAL IF YOU WERE ANYONE ELSE.

Instead, he'll be met with a mostly amused glance from a pair of red eyes slightly hidden behind a pair of glasses. ]

So we meet again, King of Conquerors.

[macebronia]

[Rider meets Gil's look at the sound of his voice. This was going to be a party indeed!]

King of Heroes, you certainly are a welcome sight! This place would just feel empty without a spirit such as yours!
