[Video]

[If you didn't remember that V/V has always had gold eyes, then this video might freak you out. Still, it's in the daylight hours, so it can't be too bad.]

Excuse me. If anyone runs into some angels during the Dark Hour - they look mostly like me, except wild and they still have their wings, and I wouldn't try to attack you and they will? I think my Shadow released some spores last night. They're not intelligent, so please don't feel bad about having to get rid of them.

There should only be about three of them. I'm glad. If my Shadow was really on the level of everything I could do back home...

[She looks even more worried, and trails off.

Feel free to say at any point that your character had to run into a wild angel during the night.]

Comments

Or I could pay attention...

...We talked a little.

I saw nothing~

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

I think I'd rather have that than not-knowing. Assuming we've all got a duplicate, mine's just skulking around...

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I don't think we should be scared of ours. We've come this far, haven't we?

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Guess you've got a point.

[So many things she could reply with, and she settles for that.]

Also s'pose it's a bit different if they're saying personal things.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I believe in us. Human strength is a surprising thing... I know that as well as anybody does.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

[She chuckles.]

I can definitely vouch for the power of the human desire to live on and survive. If duplicates are the worst we've got to deal with here, I guess we shouldn't complain.

[First-world problems? Maybe more like alive-world problems.]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Exactly! It could have been much worse.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

True! I guess everything seems so bad because it's so personal. Who knows, maybe we'll all feel better about things when it's all been said and done.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

How long do you think it will be? Until it's all been said and done.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Well, it's usually a week or so for all strangeness to finish up. I think it's been longer than that already though.

[A beat, a grin.]

I dunno. Give it another week?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

We can last a week. That's good.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

I wonder if there's a way to get rid of them for good though. If they don't have a time limit, and just defeating them doesn't seem to do the trick...

Ah, who am I kidding. We'll figure it out eventually.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

I'm sure something will come up. In the meantime, I can't do a lot just feeling bad about what could happen.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

True enough. Question is, what can we do? I mean -- let's be honest, some of the people here are kind of super-powered freaks it seems.

[A beat, and a sheepish smile.]

Believe me, I'm using that term in the most affectionate way possible. But for an example you saw what happened to Gilgamesh, right?

[That rain of swords... kind of ridiculous.]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

[An even more worried look passes over her face at mention of Gilgamesh.]

I hope he's okay.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

[She hums to herself thoughtfully before replying.] Well, he makes claims of being humanity's oldest ruler. I think it'll take more than that to keep him down.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

He's very stubborn. I like him, but I don't think he likes me much.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

[Dryly, oh so dryly and wryly and with a grin.] I don't really think he likes anyone all that much, truth be told. Some people are just like that.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

He likes Saber.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

[Processing........]

There are three Sabers, right? Which one?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

The female one who wears blue instead of red. Arturia.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Mm, I was never knowledgeable for either of the ladies names, I think. The gentleman was... Gawain, right?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

...Maybe? I don't know his name.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

I think that was it... Y'know, at this point it's starting to feel like I'd be able to just flip to a random page in some big book of myth and legend, and I'll probably know the person detailed within.

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. Human history is so long and cultures so many and varied with their legends that it's unlikely you'd know them at all.
