BACKDATED TO THE 23RD

[ Well, after the incident of the love confession that got broadcasted, William Shakespeare had some quite busy weeks, but in this day, April 23rd, he starts a new video feed, of course sitting on his Theater. He seems to be singing some papers and sipping a cup of wine before he addresses the camera. ]

Such calm days bring such new faces, is it not? Perhaps we could form a Welcome Committee for those wondering souls that arrive to this stage. In every play, the narrator helps the audience to understand the story, and for this new characters, being graced by the kindness of their role would be wonderful, am I right?

[ He makes a small pause at that. Everyone knows that he enjoys rambling like this..... ]

Now, such tragic outcomes have we seen so far, will they ever cease? [ NOT THAT HE MINDS BECAUSE HE'S FOND OF THIS DEATH THING TOO MUCH. ] 'There is occasions and causes why and wherefore in all things.' "King Henry V", Act 5 scene 1 We must be careful then.

[ And now for the real reason of this broadcast.... ]

And so another year goes by for this mere playwright! To think I would commemorate the day I born here, let it be known that this is truly interesting for mine spirit. I will rejoice in mine fifty-third year of life.

[ Yes, this was all to say that today is his birthday. Gotta love the troll and that. He polite smiles and ends the feed. ]

First snake | video/action

[thesnakepath]

[ A new video feed starts, this time showing a beautiful woman sitting on a bench of the park. Her clothes seems to be a bit odd, probably something that people would wear if they were from an ancient place. ]

So it has finally decided to obey me. [ Her voice is firm, yet she manages to relax a bit after that. ] Splendid. There must be someone listening to this, so I will make this simple.

[ With a smile, she looks at the device again. ]

If this is the Holy Grail War, then I request to speak with my useless Master for being such a weak one and not being at my side now. Now, if the circumstances are others, then I wish to know about this place.

Now, I should introduce myself in the exchange of information. I was known by many titles, including 'Queen of Kings' and the reincarnation of the Goddess Isis as well. For this War I should be Caster, but I am not fond of it. If you wish to address me, then you must do it with my name: I am the Pharaoh Cleopatra, you will do well to remember it.

[ With a chuckle, the gorgeous woman ends the feed. ]

Odds and Ends

[thanklesswork]

[Action - Morning - Near the Hotel]

[BANG. BANG. BANG. What sounds like firecrackers going off can be heard just around the hotel. Is it under attack? Has a crazed gunman broken in and threatens the Prospero Persona-users and more? No, the Kid just happened to buy himself a pair of pistols recently and setup a miniature shooting range in an alley not too far away. And his targets? They happen to be the several dozen (nearly hundred)now-empty bottles of booze that the Kid has been snatching since he got settled in.

He'd normally have enough sense to do this further away from where folks would be disturbed...but finding a quiet spot where nobody would mind gunshots and bottles shattering seemed few and far inbetween. So he'll be keeping this up until someone from the hotel staff tells him to stop or they'd call the police.

Until then, has he woken you up abruptly? The sound of gunshots making you think real danger is nearby, only to find a Kid up to no good? Go ahead and let him know.]

[Action - Evening - Shopping District]

[So after answering a few questions to concerned citizens and apologizing to folks in the hotel, Kid goes out shopping later that night. Hotel food only went so far, after all. Thing is, he doesn't know much about cooking considering he's lived on rations for most of his life. Or freshly slaughtered animals. So most of what he buys is a lot of instant foods with some packed meat. And how does he carry it? Why, not with a cart or basket, but by putting as many bags on himself that his shoulders and arms could carry. If you happen to see a humanoid figure made of shopping bags, it's probably the Kid.]

[Video - Late Evening - Dark Hour in twenty minutes]

[The Kid turns on the feed and is plainly standing in the middle of his room, which is still an ungodly mess but doesn't have any bottles of booze laying around anymore. He's loading up both of his pistols and strapping his hammer to his back as he speaks up.]

Going Shadow huntin'. Anyone wanna come?

[V/V sets the phone on the cabinet in front of her. She's holding her guitar and absently strumming as she speaks.]

Everyone's been kind of grumpy lately... It's really bothering me. So, um, I thought I'd do something! I can give guitar or singing lessons to anyone who wants them! And if you come by the park, I'll be playing some songs I know later today. Feel free to come by.

[Action]
[True to her word, V/V is sitting underneath a tree in the park, playing her guitar and singing. She has a lovely voice, but it's not getting a favorable reaction. Practically nobody stops and listens to her, and a few have comments like 'get a job!']

[V/V looks a bit downcast, but keeps singing.]

Trace Attempt #4 [Action/Temporary Contact Post]

[emptysword]

[He did it, Saber's safe now, and for the time being there's no problems at all with his life.

So why does this victory bring him nothing at all? None of the feelings associated with success came to his mind when he recalled the night.

Ah, it must be because of the revelations that were slammed into his face with the blunt side of a blade swung by Saber of all people. In the span of one night, Shirou found that his father was the product of an ideal gone astray.

The same ideal that he took from him and made into his life purpose.

With a sigh, Shirou decided to leave Saber and Diarmuid alone to deal with their reunion first, while he sorts his head through the mess that just happened.

Thus, you can find Shirou in the park looking pretty damn miserable even after Saber's return, if anyone should decide to look for him.

Or you can just contact him through the feed if you're up for a little chat or two!]
