[MEME] Let's Talk RC (CR Testdrive)

[missleadingquestions]

I don't really have a fitting picture for this.

G'day, Ruby City! It's time for a meme for both testdrivers and denizens.

Been itching to test out some CR but haven't had the posts to do it? Thinking of apping a character but not sure they'll fit in the city walls?

Have no fear, a meme for you is here.

Directions:

• Post with your character with their name and canon on top!


• Choose a location and prompt or wait for someone else to tag.


• If you'd like, leave contact info for people to get in contact for plotting and other such shenans.


• Tag around! Make friends. Don't be afraid to chat OOC while tagging.

Locations:

1. Train Station: New arrival, or waiting to welcome people? Either way, the train comes in, but you still can't ride it out.


2. Cathedral: Looking for redemption? Just doing a little sight-seeing? Or just getting a little shelter?


3. The Clocktower: You can see the whole city from here!


4. The Black Stallion Saloon: You were told the burgers were great here-- but maybe you just came for the beer.


5. The Library: You came to do a little research, but it looks like all of the information's just out of your reach. Though, you can always find a way to pass the time here.


6. The Coffee Joint: Run by James Potter and Lukas, a lovely place to have a chat and a bite to eat.


7. Le Cafe Anglais: A Parisian-British fusion that's as charming as it sounds and serves the best tea around.

Scenarios

1. Just walked in: You intended to get here, and you made your way in; but now someone's caught your eye and you'd like to have a chat.


2. Been here all day: You've been sitting around minding the time. Maybe you didn't notice them at first or maybe you were just working up the courage to talk-- either way, they know you're here and you know it too.


3. Inclimate weather: You're here because you've gotten rained in. This wasn't your choice, but at least it's dry-- right?


4. Wild card: Got something better in mind? Well screw these prompts, try it out yourself!

Have fun, guys!

[She hesitates for a long while.]

Fine.

[She lets her sword dissipate.]

I do have the capacity of a king, Father. That is why I will allow you the chance you never allowed me.

[And if he fucks it up again, Mordred would just kill him again.]

[untilavalon]

[The look Arturia gives Mordred is as sincere as possible.]

I thank you, Sir Mordred, and beg only your patience.

[It is Arturia's folly that must be remedied, after all; had she lead her knights well, had she lead Mordred well, perhaps Mordred would not have fallen victim to Morgan's plotting and become so full of hate.]

[penisenvy]

[She nods. Her father must be sincere if he would lower himself to beg.]

Then, Father, now that we have resolved this matter...what is this place? Even if we were both summoned as Servants into the same Heaven's Feel, this place bears no resemblance to Trifas.

[untilavalon]

[Mordred's compliance is a comfort. With the city as it is, Arturia cannot afford to have more people against her.

Saber has to stare for a moment. Heaven's feel-- that's right, the Caster called Shakespeare knew of Mordred from this incident, right?]

I'm afraid our summoning to this place is unaffiliated with the grail. My colleague, Waver Velvet, stated that it was...

[Shit. Which was it? As if a bit affected, Saber turns her head away and tries to remember.]

I believe... the fifth magic at work, or some similar case. Whatever magic it is, it is not one we are familiar with. It would seem that people, not only heroic spirits, have been summoned here from all places, times, and even unconnected universes.

[penisenvy]

Second Magic, Father. Careful of your age, there.

[She does not smile, but it should be obvious that she is making a joke.]

That is indeed a strange phenomenon. Do you know anything of the user?

[untilavalon]

[Embarrassed? Not at all. Never. Magic is unkingly, there should be no reason why she should remember these things.

She's not embarrassed. Really.]

We know only that the users are more than one, and that they must very much not wish us to know about them. There can be found no real source of information regarding who they are, their origins, or their motives.

[penisenvy]

[She scowls. They are at a disadvantage. For all her power, for all of Father's power, they cannot strike at opponents that they cannot see.]

I see. So this has become a matter of biding our time and waiting for our enemy to reveal something to us?

[untilavalon]

They are not our only enemy.

While it is true that all who are here are captives equally, there are those who would wish harm upon the innocent. More than that, there are those with whom I had contested in the war I was a part of, and a few are more sinister than others.

[And most of all--]

There is an Archer who you must avoid. Do I make myself clear?

[penisenvy]

Is he of the Red Camp or the Black Camp?

[It doesn't matter. If any Archers cross her, they will be cut down equally.]

[untilavalon]

...I'm sorry?

[Saber is beginning to realise these wars are very, very different.]

...He belongs to no team, if that is what you ask. There were no teams in my war.

[penisenvy]

Ah.

[That makes sense. Her own Grail War was abnormal to begin with.]

Then it seems that time and space have been twisted. Nevertheless, if he threatens me, then I'll cave in his fucking skull.

[untilavalon]

I really must advise, for your safety, that you do not approach this archer. His power contends even with mine, and more than that...

More than that, he may mistake you for me.

[penisenvy]

If he does, I will show him how sorely he is mistaken.

[The thought of a strong enemy does not deter her. Instead, it only arouses her curiosity. In her infinite pride, she believes she can defeat Archer if they were to fight.]

[After all, she did kill Arthur.]

[untilavalon]

Mordred. Do not deny my command.

[It's out of concern, really.]

You do not understand the nature of this enemy.

[penisenvy]

Oh? And what makes this one so special?

[untilavalon]

He is the ancient 'hero', Gilgamesh.

In addition to a blade-like... weapon that can, as far as has been explained to me, un-do realities, he also possesses some sort of mystic gate to a vault of weaponry he can use at will.

And he believes himself entitled to have me as his wife. Were he to see you, I fear he would threaten you similarly.

[penisenvy]

[She can't help it. She laughs.]

Father, what do I have to fear from a fool who cannot tell man from woman?

[untilavalon]

[...Mordred, Daddy is going to have to sit you down for a loooong talk one of these days.

She isn't sure she can handle that on top of their earlier conversation, however, so she segues out of that one.

One of these days.]

...Please, Mordred, abide my command. I wish no ill befall you by his dealings.

[penisenvy]

[She can feel Arthur's concern. It's a new experience for her, and she has to fight not to blush.]

Then...as you wish for now, Father.

[untilavalon]

[Though still unsure as to why Mordred is so adamant about this fatherhood issue, Arturia can find no fault in her.

After all, there is no way for her to have an heir now; King or not, their kingdom is no more. Not in the way it once was.

That doesn't make the relationship any easier, however, so Saber remains quiet on the issue.]

Thank you, Mordred.

[penisenvy]

I...I will take my leave now.

[Before she actually goes red and embarrasses herself.]

I wish to explore the city some more...and I am sure that you also have matters you wish to attend to, Father.

[untilavalon]

...Yes, I understand. Be cautious. You are in a place with which you are unfamiliar; let your actions be wary at least.

You may go.

[penisenvy]

[She turns and leaves without another word. Part of her doesn't want to leave Father's side. Especially since he now cares for her. But this not the time or place for sentimentality.]
