ITP: Wandering

[promised_victory]

[Action: Throughout Midgard]

[This was not what she'd expected when she had agreed to come here. If she's honest with herself she isn't sure just what she'd been expecting. The last Saber remembers clearly was being on Camlann Hill, her body in excruciating pain, and then.... it's a haze what the Valkyries had said to her even though she remembers the idea behind it and Hephaestus had been kind enough to answer her questions once she was able to. Saber supposes it might have been the blood loss making her delirious at the time, but she remembers agreeing. She had resolved to live without regrets, right?

So she wanders the city, her damaged armor had been repaired and sent ahead to her apartment while she'd been healing. Excalibur, on the other hand, was returned to her and she used invisible air to fashion a sheath at her waist so that she could carry it with her unseen now that she could no longer summon it out of the ether like before. It was always best to be prepared though she felt naked walking like this without her armor on. Light as it was, getting into it would be a hassle now. And she'd enjoyed being able to skip the chore of tying her armor on and removing it at the end of a battle, but that was a fair price to pay for being human again.

That was another she she knew she'd have to get used to, being human again. Saber had expected to die on that hill not get another chance, a proper chance, at living out her life. Everything about life before felt so distant now. Could she even call herself Saber anymore?

While these thoughts go through her mind she looks through the city to get the best feel for the terrain. If she's truly meant to fight for this place she fully intends to get to know it well. It could very well be her home for years before they managed to make even a dent in their enemies' forces.]

(ooc: Putting this up while I have a moment. Will tag replies to both this and Goku's post once I get home from work later on.)

[As luck would have it, Gawain was also out and about. He wanted to get familiarized with the city just in case he needed to get anything himself -- or if the enemy infiltrated the walls.

He had not been expecting this, though. He was about ten feet away and walking in the opposite direction when he spotted her.]

Y-Your Majesty?!

[Rider had been out, too. She was wearing her casual outfit -- glasses, a black sweater, and jeans -- instead of her combat clothes. And she paused when she saw the familiar figure.

Rider almost summoned her daggers out of instinct...then noticed several details that meant this couldn't possibly be Saber Alter. For one, her eyes were green, not gold, and her skin wasn't deathly pale. There was also no black on her form, no visible sword, and (though Rider barely registered it) an ahoge.

But what else confused her was that Saber wasn't exuding the aura of a Servant. No, she felt human. All of this left Rider very confused; for now, she chose to remain silent.]

[Lancer too has been going around the city exploring. Since there has been no fighting for the last couple of days, he has had some time to think a little bit about his former world and this current one.]

[He sips the warm drink he brought with him. One thing he dislike about having time to think is the fact that the more he thinks, the more his past comes to haunt him. Even now, he is wondering if it is really alright for him to stay here and enjoy himself while the girl who had summoned him is already dead. All things considered, Servants should fade away when their Masters died. In addition to that, he had pledged his loyalty to her.]

["You and you alone are my Master."]

[And yet he had failed her. She had died when he could not find a cure...and he had turned to Ayaka to be his Master. It had been for the purpose of releasing Misaya from her zombie state, but he had still violated that oath.]

[Some hound he was.]

[In his distracted state, he does not notice bumping into the girl until his drink spills over them both.]

Um...sorry.

[Archer himself is wandering about to make a mental map of Midgard, and is thinking about the mess he had just tossed himself into. Oh, sure it made -sense- for a Counter Guardian to volunteer for a multiversal threat, but now it was dawning on him that a lot of familiar faces he really wasn't sure he wanted to see were here as well.

A lot of them.

Speak of, he notices someone immediately familiar walking along the street. That...wasn't good at all. Saber wasn't someone he necessarily disliked or even had a reason to hold enmity towards, but if this was the same one he knew, she wouldn't appreciate the potshots he took at Shirou in the battle.

So he acts casual and waves to her.]

Yo. Got roped into this mess, too?

[cannot_fly]

[ Miyu had been out looking at what was offered in each district in order to figure out what areas were the best for certain things like gathering information. It was pretty quiet in till she noticed Saber. ]

How are you able to move around in this world?

[ Only reason why she said that is because Saber looks a lot like the servant card she fought and nearly got destroyed by. ]
