☘ 013; [video/action]

[Somewhere between Cherrygrove and Violet, there is a tree.]

[In this tree is a flock of Murkrow--which the Venomoth holding the Pokegear seems to be focusing on before moving back to her trainer. And standing nearby? Lancer, with an unusually serious expression on his face as he stared at the birds in silence.]

['I guard your death.' That was what she had said to him. And it had been true, of course--the Morrígan was more often than not a herald of the end for many warriors of Ireland. Even the greatest one of his era had been no exception.]

[And now, staring at this flock of what must have passed for crows--messengers of the goddess herself--Ulster's hound felt strangely uneasy. When he finally did speak, it was in a serious tone. His words may have sounded like mere superstition, but there was a strange weight to them that made it sound like something much more than that.]


...I've always known ravens as an ill omen. I wonder if the same holds true in Johto.

[Lancer couldn't quite help but wonder: was this a warning that he going to die again? Not that he feared the idea, but he had more important things to do than add a third death to his list.]

Agreed. Birds are a step up from bugs, I guess, even if these aren't attacking anyone yet.

... hn.

It isn't the first time Pokemon have swarmed like this and remained relatively peaceful, but... [she shakes her head and falls silent again]

But something's not right. Correct? And it isn't only because they're a sign of trouble.

Knowing my luck? Give it time, they will be.

We'll see. And if they do, it's nothing people here can't handle.

Even with the battles?

Though I guess they're not anything like the ones you'd be used to... [[says a little sheepishly there]]

Is it not? Talking about yourself so freely.. [ Frowning, it is obviously something she has conflict herself. ] I suppose it matters not in a realm where our pasts are meaningless.

Maybe they are attracted to one of your Pokémon. [ Spoken with that accent. She's never going to get the hang of that word. ]

...you weren't here when I got drunk off my ass with Connla and broadcast a video to the entire country declaring myself the Hound of Ulster and talking about how Scathach would kick my ass if she knew I lost my Noble Phantasm.

[This did not stop being a thing that happened.]

Anonymity isn't really much of a concern for me anymore.

Drunk? Do you not have a high alcohol tolerance due to your background? Hm.. does that mean this place has fine wine?

[ Chuckling quietly. ]

Is that the consensus of the other Ser-- you know, I think I am well versed in how Gilgamesh acts regarding his identity. [ Twitching.. ]

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, well...it's not exactly easy to adjust for the fact that I'm stuck in a human body. [Fail, Lancer.]

Rider never really mentioned hers, but frankly I don't think what name any of us go by here is going to matter. No Holy Grail War, no Noble Phantasms--so what's the point, right?

[video]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-06-15 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
You did not stop to consider this before consumption?

... It would be odd for me to go by my name.

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
...We're Irish. We don't usually stop to think 'hey, maybe this is a bad idea' when we're having a good time.

So go by whatever you want. People here still call me Lancer regardless of whether or not they know who I am.

[video]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-06-15 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
That is true for battle as well, is it not? [ She's merely jesting. ] Would it be odd to call a girl k--er, a knight.

[ Flustered, she looks away. What is being tired as a human and being susceptible to relaxing conversation? ]

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
That all depends on the fight, doesn't it? [TOTALLY SERIOUS. THIS IS A SRSFACE.]

...hm? What does being a girl have to do with anything?

[video]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-06-15 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
You ought to take one with me without any intoxication. You need to be on your best against me. [ There is no ego or pride in her words: she's still continuing in the joking manner.

With a tiny yawn, she shifts the Pokégear to a more comfortable position. ]


In my time, women were not permitted to do much of anything.

I wouldn't mind a sparring match with you sometime.

[Just...this face.] So what? I learned all I know about combat from a woman, and my wife was one of the toughest girls in the country. If a woman can be on the level of a goddess, I fail to see why one can't be a knight.

[video]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-06-15 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
When I an acquire a blade, it would be my honor.

.. Really? All you know from a woman?

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
I seriously doubt you can find a sword here, but I'll see if I can find a decent substitute.

More or less, yeah. Maybe not everything, but if it wasn't for her I wouldn't have my Noble Phantasm.

[video]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-06-15 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
You would do that?

[ Giving a nod. ]

So she is the one who gifted you with such a powerful item. I suppose since you told me something like that, I could share a story about mine. If you wanted to hear it, that is.

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, I don't really see why I shouldn't. [Especially not if it meant he'd finally get a decent sparring match against another Servant.]

My history with Scathach isn't exactly anything all that secret, but if you insist then I'm listening.

[video]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-06-15 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
You have my thanks in advance, Lancer. [ What? Wasn't Gilgamesh enough for you? ] I will give you a suitable duel in gratitude.

My favorite blade was pulled from a stone. I was the only man capable of doing so.

[video]

[identity profile] solas-ion.livejournal.com 2011-06-15 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a fair deal. [GILGAMESH WAS A WUSS.]

...Really? How'd it get there in the first place?

[only you would ask something like that, Lancer...]

[video]

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-06-15 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Then I look forward to it.

[ Oh... huh. She never really thought about it. ]

At the time, many other knights and men believed it to be the work of our Lord, who placed the great blade within the sword during a time of strife. However, I believe it was just Merlin's doing. He had a peculiar sense of wit about him.

'Peculiar' sounds like a pretty good word for it.

[seriously merlin



who does that]

[ Crazy damn wizards. ]

No, it really is not. It is the only word I can think of to associate with him however. If you ever met him, you might question how much you have consumed.
