It seems I just missed a major battle. Hopefully I can be more useful next time. In the meantime, I'm Ciel.

Hopefully this won't get too out of hand and can be resolved without too much bloodshed. If it does, though, I think I might still be able to make myself useful.

It's odd. Valkyries are supposed to go after the spirits of dead warriors. What kind of people got to meet one before they died?

You do? I must admit to some curiosity -- what skills do you have?

The more you investigate, I believe the more you will find that this place does not strictly adhere to the myths of old.

[just_some_meddler]

For now let's just leave it at I can take care of myself if I need to.

I don't think the classical Midgard had flying cars or electric lights, and I'm pretty sure the maid I caught sight of earlier was a robot.

[championofthesun]

Fine, then I shall bear witness to them at some point in the future.

Indeed. This place is far more advanced than the present day, let alone the days of Norse myth.

[just_some_meddler]

Best not to make any assumption based on what we knew, then.

[championofthesun]

I never had any plans to. As far as I am concerned, both the city and our foes are completely new, previously unknown entities.

[just_some_meddler]

Probably smart.

Speaking of new, previously unknown entities, I still don't know who you are.

[championofthesun]

Sir Gawain, former Knight of the Round Table, at your service.

[just_some_meddler]

Then this must be way more advanced than your present day.

[championofthesun]

Not as much as you might suspect.

[A moment's hesitation...the Holy Grail War was supposed to be kept under wraps. But ast the same time, it mattered little here.]

I was summoned to the twenty-first century through a magical phenomenon. As part of the summoning process, I was granted common knowledge of the era.

[Her expression flickers to something hard for just a fraction of a second. Gawain wasn't even sure if he actually saw it before she was back to normal.]

It's sad, then, that just after you got knowledge of one era, you get thrown into an even more confusing one.

[championofthesun]

It wasn't something that occurred immediately after I was summoned. That occurred over seven weeks ago.

[just_some_meddler]

As long as you're okay with it, I guess that's what really matter here.

People that are worth getting to know, I'm betting! [ Yoko says in all too cheerful of a tone. ] I'm Yomako and it's nice to meet you, Ciel.

What sort of ways are you thinking to make yourself useful?

[just_some_meddler]

It's my job back home to deal with magical troublemakers that no one else can.

[snipes]

Magical troublemakers? So you come from a world where magic is real, right?

[just_some_meddler]

That would follow, yes. Does yours not?

[snipes]

I've never seen anything called magic before. [ Just bullshit fancy terms. ] I've seen a lot of strange things though.

[afieldofswords]

I figured that was my own justification for being here. I don't think most people here are or were dead, though.

[just_some_meddler]

You don't look very dead to me.

[afieldofswords]

It's a complicated situation. But I'm not straightforward flesh-and-blood anymore.

[Like hell he's divulging any specifics.]

It doesn't seem like the Valkyries or even Thor himself fit into the typical niche they did in myth. They hit pretty close, though.

[just_some_meddler]

If they were going strictly according to myth, we'd probably be living in dirt floored longhouses, so I think I'm okay with it being this way.
