Fourth Gambit (Video)

[just_as_planned]

*Isn't that a nice castle the phone is recording? It's just sitting there in the middle of the city, almost eerie looking in the moonless night. But when the camera turns back around to David, he's smiling.*

They say a man's home is his castle, but how few can make that literal? Sure, it's missing a few things to really make it home, but it's a start. Would anyone like to come visit?

An impressive piece of architecture, to be sure.

I see you have good taste. It's authentic, too. Transported directly from Scotland to the top of my company headquarters in New York.

[truthsnomiracle]

You must have been remarkably rich in your own world to have been able to accomplish such a thing.

[And some people complained about his salary?]

I was among the richest men in the world. My personal net worth was roughly equivalent to a small country.

[truthsnomiracle]

(In other words, even richer than Ernest Amano...)

I see. While I was both well-compensated and the recipient of significant inheritances, my wealth never reached such heights.

[ For someone who's seen an entire building of that nature come crumbling down, Saber only has one thing to comment on: ]

Why would you build such a fortress with a weak support underneath it?

[just_as_planned]

This isn't its original location. Back home, it was miles above the ground and supported by durable steel beams. But it wasn't meant to be a fortress, not for me, anyway. It's my home, and, I will admit, a bit of a publicity stunt.

You made your home a castle? Does that not seem as though it were a waste?

[ Unfortunately for Saber, she's never had to think of what 'home' was to her. All she sees is a castle, a building designed to protect during war, being used as though it were a common hut. ]

More wasteful than just letting it sit there? Having it moved from Scotland was expensive, particularly given the locals' reluctance to set foot in it, but I had the money to spare.

And here I thought nothing could be more gaudy than my condo.

[Video]

[just_as_planned]

*Jealous, Gil?*

I hardly think gaudy is the right word. A bit extravagant, but in perfectly good taste.

[ He would rather have his own castle but, hey. Not owning everything in this world has been kind of annoying him lately. ]

And it makes you stick out like a sore thumb. I'm sure that annoying pirate wench will be raiding you in no time.

*David can sympathize. What is not running the economy?*

I'm used to standing out. As for raids, I can't say I'm entirely unfamiliar with those, either. I can handle myself well enough.

[breatheinthefog]

You asked for something large, too. ...Have the people here even noticed the change?

[just_as_planned]

As far as they're concerned, it's been under construction for months and was just completed yesterday.

[breatheinthefog]

They really do adjust their minds to fit what they believe. Or something does it for them.

[just_as_planned]

Odd, isn't it? My first thought it some sort of wide-scale magical brainwashing. I doubt anything mundane could be this effective. But obviously I'm not the only one who's thought about it, what about you?

Gilgamesh and probably that pirate girl are going to be pissed that someone imported a cooler house than they have here.

[Video]

[just_as_planned]

I was expecting a few people to be jealous. I guess I'll have to stay on my toes.

[Video]

[soulsborderline]

Man, I need to think of something to order. I already tried the only thing I actually want from home, and it was too out of place here.

[Video]

[just_as_planned]

You don't own anything else you might have use for?

[needsteaplz]

[Don't mind if whistles at the castle.]

You actually own that? Maintenance must be a nightmare.

[just_as_planned]

*He doesn't mind at all. He likes showing off sometimes.*

What can I say, I'm a man of wealth and taste. Keeping it in shape without my maintenance crew will be time consuming, but I think it'll be worth it to have my old home back.

[needsteaplz]

Still, that's pretty impressive that it's still in very good condition. I'm still amazed by the fact possessions from home even this large in scale are able to be brought over here.

[just_as_planned]

It wasn't in quite this good shape when I bought it. I had it restored and somewhat modernized when it was moved to New York.

But it is interesting, isn't it? I wonder why they're being so generous.
