♚ ａｒｅ ｙｏｕ ｍｙ ｍａｓｔｅｒ？

[ex_cashcow493]

[ First impressions were important to Saber. To become a ruler, she presented herself to her kingdom as the wielder of Caliburn, the famed sword from the stone. The precedent was broken with the last introduction she ever had to make: asking a boy who looked as though he was about to die of fright and wonder if he was her Master. Sloppy, but it ended with the elegance only she could control.

A glance out the window and she can see the sun barely over the horizon, watching long enough to determine it was rising instead of setting: morning. With that much in mind, she ignores the curiosity with her body, choosing to focus on her appearance first. After swiftly changing from her battle vestments (a slight ire at how easily the breastplate comes undone - a sign that the enchantment it held was no longer in place), she dons a black suit in its place. There isn't any time to waste with a braid, so the end result is a ponytail.

It doesn't take her long at all to discover how to use the cellular device found on the night table beside her bed. Technology wasn't too foreign to her, but it takes a few tries before she figures out everything, sending accidental texts of jibberish and snippets of voice (but with only the sound of the phone fumbling). Pressuring eyes of green focus on the camera as she sets it to video, ready to address any audience she may have. ]

A brief analysis of the situation leaves me unsatisfied with the number of questions that remain. I am not arrogant enough to believe I am without purpose here, but some enlightenment of the situation is in order. [ A stoic tone that refuses to soften. ] There is something that perturbs my iron will however...

[ Good luck trying to wrestle just what that something is from her mind. ]

I can try answering whatever questions the best I can.

[ex_cashcow493]

What is our location?

[ A simple enough question, is it not? ]

[babel_hacker]

Prospero, an island city in the United States.

[ex_cashcow493]

The United States located in the Western part of the world?

[ A bit closer to home than she thought. Although it only leaves more questions in her mind, the conflict easily evident in her eyes if one was perceptive enough to pick up on it. ]

An island. [ Narrowing her brows down in contemplation. ] How far away from the mainland?

[babel_hacker]

That's right.

[He nods, before telling her the rough distance, based on what he remember from checking out a map. It's quite far, but still within America's borders.]

I won't promise I can answer all of your questions properly. I was brought here as well.

[ex_cashcow493]

Further detail your arrival if you do not mind. Were you abducted?

[crownedexorcist]

I was in the middle of traveling when I found myself here. If anyone abducted me, they must've done it without me noticing them.

[ex_cashcow493]

Is such a thing possible?

[ Oh, she might need to clarify herself. That statement was unusually unclear. ]

I mean to say, are you the type of individual who is easily abducted or overwhelmed by another?

[croibhristeoir]

[Impossible. Impossible. Of all the Servants that could theoretically have appeared here, it was Saber that he should meet first? Surely he was somehow imagining this.]

[When last Lancer had seen her, he had been consumed with rage and frustration--cursing the world and all things in it. 'Overreacted' was perhaps not the word for it, not after the mess that Holy Grail War had become, but including Saber in his tirade had more than likely been uncalled for. Idly he wondered just what she must have thought of a knight who lost his composure in such a way.]

Whatever the purpose for us being brought here is, I'm afraid I don't understand it just yet. While I'm no expert on this place, I believe I can help you with some of the enlightenment you're after.

...Hello, Saber.

[ex_cashcow493]

Lancer.

[ A tone of bewilderment replaces the boldness she normally carries herself with, unsure of what to think of this. There was very little that made sense in her current predicament, so she blurts out the first thing to come to mind. ]

By the light, I must be going mad.

[croibhristeoir]

You're no less sane than the rest of us, don't worry.

...by your reaction, I take it the last you saw of me was likely the last anyone saw of me.

[Which made sense--one of the very few things about this place that did.]

Did you just arrive here?

[ex_cashcow493]

I must.

[ Worry, that is. Thinking things through is what she does as a hand moves to rest itself on the side of her face, propping her head up as she sits in a rather relaxed manner for a knight. ]

You are correct. How is it possible that you are here, Lancer? [ There's no way he survived what she.. ]

Yes. [ It sounds more pained as she tries to change the subject. ]

[witchless.livejournal.com]

You just got here?

[ex_cashcow493]

That would be correct. Do I appear novice in the way I present myself?

[witchless.livejournal.com]

You said you had questions.

[ex_cashcow493]

Does everyone not have questions about life on a daily basis? Regardless, I have plenty. The first question I shall ask is this: how many answers do you have?

[totally_blue]

[Kaito turns on video feed, and smiles.]

Oh, more newcomers.

[ex_cashcow493]

[ The smile takes her by surprise as her gaze softens. ]

My appearance is no strange occurrence then?

[totally_blue]

You're not the first, it happened many times. How can I help you?

[ex_cashcow493]

A proper introduction is in order first. You may call me Saber. Might I inquire about your name in return?

[Ainosuke pings for the way the new arrival is speaking. Though it's hard to draw similarities between people just from something like that, it's enough to sway him to talk to her. It has also been a few days since he's talked to anyone outside of school, or his job, or... the only person he attempts to keep regular contact with.

He waits for quite awhile before responding, staring down at his phone and thinking over his options. When he returns the video, he's balancing his hands on his knees, his back against the headboard of his bed. By now, Ainosuke figures she must have received some answers to questions she had.

And while Ainosuke knows quite a bit, he's not as willing as everyone else to share it right off the bat.]

Is there anything you're still curious about?

[ex_cashcow493]

Several curiosities remain on my mind. You could begin with your name if you wish to carry on a conversation with me.

[hidari-me.livejournal.com]

[. . . well she was straight to the point, wasn't she? He sort of makes a face, unsure of how to react to someone like this.]

Ainosuke Tanaka.

[ex_cashcow493]

A pleasure, Tanaka-san.

[ Even though her accent was one of an older British style, she knew a bit about the Eastern part of the world. She calms considerably with his name, settling back down into a comfortable position. ]

Is there anyone here powerful with questionable intent?
