Does anyone know if I could just buy a set of monk's robes? Saying that I could 'just buy them' is painful, but not having them is awkward, and given how little people seem to care about credentials... I wish there was a temple here, any temple. Even if it's not my family's, being able to do what I was born to do would be a comfort.

[Issei can be found throughout the entire city today. He seems to be drawing an elaborate map over several sheets of paper, labeling all noteworthy buildings and stores. Occasionally he stops and asks a person what a building is - it might even be your character.]

Is your time so important here? Considering that all you have to do is wait for midnight and stalk your former Servant, I should think that efficiency would be less of a problem.

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

And as always, you jump to assumptions. I stalk no one. Nor do I simply waste my day "waiting for midnight".

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Not much else you do matters now, and Lancer is so troubled by your presence on this island that I worried you might have done worse. I do wish you had never shown up here.

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

Believe me, I do too. I would much rather be back at home. With the real Lancer.

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

'Real' Lancer? I don't follow you.

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

Isn't it obvious? At the best, this place is little more than an extended reality marble. It isn't real.

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I doubt 'reality' would influence my behavior at all. Considering that I only know or will know one Lancer, I have every right to look after him as much as I can.

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

Listen. Lancer said he died. It makes no sense, however, for him to remember it. Servants who lose the Holy Grail war lose their memories.

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

It also makes no sense for people to die and return here, for people to be pulled from multiple timelines, and for me to be able to summon anything at all. I don't care whether it's real or not.

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

Those are... plausible. Perhaps the Holy Grail is responsible for this. Perhaps one of the Great Magics...

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Did you really bother me to discuss theories?

[Openly hostile, him? Never.]

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

Am I bothering you, dear boy? [Her voice is smooth as honey.] Theories are the lifeblood of a magus. Knowledge is the ultimate pursuit.

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Sarcasm, how nice. You would do well to pursue it elsewhere.

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

But why? You're so smart, after all. It's a shame to neglect your uncultivated intellect when there could be so much more made of it.

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...Really.

[In quick strides, Issei made his way to invade Sola's personal space, glaring at her.]

Employing that intellect to anything to do with magi would be sullying it, using it to such a disgusting end.

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

Excuse me? [Her expression darkened.] Little fool, how dare you imply such things about magecraft. Perhaps I overestimated your intelligence, prejudiced one.

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

How dare I say a few unkind words? Really?

[He smirked a little, before spitting in her face.

He dared do more than that.]

Action!

. . .]

You little philistine! [She lost her tightly controlled temper in a moment, lashing out towards his face. What was she planning to do? She didn't know. All she knew was that the little lower-class weak fool had spat at her! He was even more infuriating in person! She wanted to claw his eyes out, but she'd settle for leaving her mark on his skin.</small]

Action!

[Naturally her nails dug into his cheek and scratched hard. He hissed in pain, although he'd had worse in his stay in Prospero.]

Foul woman!

[He pulled back a punch and let loose. Issei did not believe in going lightly against woman.

It was on.]

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

[The punch knocked her back and she stumbled, clutching her face.]

You- uncivilised brute!

Action!

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Strumpet!

[At least he'd let her recover before hitting her again.]

Action!

[toomanyhyphens.livejournal.com]

Enough! I will have no part in these childish and foolish actions!

[Whirling on her heel, she starts to leave, her body shaking with rage.]

Action!

Don't come near me again. You won't enjoy it.
