⚡ · · · · “There sure are a lot of options~ Have you decided on what to get?“ He makes an inquiry of someone close by, waiting in line as well.
“Mmmmm...”
A slight hum passes through her lips as she stares at the array of sweets in front of her. Hearing the others inquiry, she gently tapped her finger on the glass over a colorful looking tart.
“I think I will go with this one!”
@pissethoff
“Oh! Hey there! I think you dropped this.”
Well, she wasn’t quite sure if he did or not. She just happened to notice the book not to far away from where the other was walking away from, so she could only assume it belonged to them.

Familiarizing yourself with new areas and roads is always a pain in the neck. Any driver worth their salt knows this as well as the risks involved. Like getting lost, going in circles, finding yourself in an area you don’t want to be in…
…or accidentally hitting somebody in a place where no one bothered to put lights in.
A tight squeeze on the brakes and a few voiceless obscenities predate a period of uncomfortable silence. ( It’s mostly his fault, after all. But really… it’s too damn dark. ) Hell, he’s almost too apprehensive to look ‘em in the eye. Gotta check if they’re alright, though. So he swallows that fear and looks ahead. And what he’s greeted with makes him sigh with relief. They seems okay. ( And if they aren’t, they’re sure good at faking it. )
“ Hey. You alright? ” He didn’t hit ‘em—at least he’s hoping he didn’t—but there’s no harm in asking.
With the number of powerful beings that seemed to inhabit this place, it never occurred to her that she would nearly loss her life at the hands of a careless driver. It wasn’t as though she was being reckless, she was merely crossing the road when she suddenly heard the sound of someone coming towards her. Though the other attempted to slow down as they neared her, had she not thrown herself out of the way she was certain that contact would have been made. Landing on her hands and knees, she took a moment to calm down her heart, only turning her attention to the other when they addressed her.
Looking up at them, she quickly hopped to her feet, ignoring the slight pain she felt on her knees from where she landed. With a less than happy look on her face, one that almost appeared out of character on her considering her usual disposition, she pointed a finger at him while placing her other hand on her hip.
“I’m fine, but you should really watch where you’re going!”

Crash. “Son of a bitch!”
He still wasn’t used to this new strength that he’d been given upon coming here. Sure, he’d been told that he was going to be stronger, that he’d have greater strength than a normal human. But one couldn’t just prepare themselves mentally for something like that. It was probably the third glass he’d broken and he probably hopefully wasn’t the only one having that issue.
“…Dropping super strength on someone with no previous experience with it isn’t exactly great.” He grumbled to himself, starting to sweep up the glass.
She could not help but flinch slightly as she watched the other break yet another glass. From where she sat it was not hard for her to see his struggle, having already observed him shatter several others. By the sound of it, it appeared as though this new found strength of his was something new, and briefly wondered if their were others in this place that were also given abilities they did not have previously. She did no appear to possess anything new, so perhaps it was only for those who were considered servants.
“That does indeed sound like it would be a bit of a problem. I’m not sure why the ones that made this place would think something like that would be a good idea.”
She knows that he was not directly speaking to her, but nonetheless she hoped he would not mind her commentary.
kotomineshirou:
“There must be trust between Servant and Master if we both mean to survive, or even to win, this War.”
Another bright light comes, and within moments he returned to his prior appearance. It was best to save his ‘true’ self for the most dire of situations. Moving to take a seat across from his Master, a hand came up to toy with the cross-shaped pendant that hung from his neck. A matter of comfort, as well as a habit when he knew he would be speaking at length.
“ ‘Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.’ You have the right of it. This is the third Grail War in which I’ve participated, though only the second into which I’ve been summoned properly. Despite its….oddities, there is no denying that this is a true battle for the Grail. That most Holy of Vessels exists in this place.”
Actually…now that he thought of it, he had no idea what this Master would desire of the Grail. She seemed kind and quiet, but were there hidden depths to her? One never knew what could lurk beyond the human exterior, what aspect of Angra Mainyu could be present…
“Master…I hope you don’t find me presumptuous, but have you thought on a wish for the Grail, if we should emerge victorious? I have my own desires, of course, but I would like to hear your own.”
He had a point there. She of all people, would know how important trust is. Trust was thin, however. It could be easily broken and once it was lost it was nearly impossible to gain it back. Her survival was her top priority though, and if that required her to trust the one before her than so be it.
Watching him shift back to his original form, she observed as his hands came to touch the cross which he wore. Though still trying to digest everything that was happening, she had noticed that her servant seemed to be rather religious. Religion made always played a role in making Belgium what it was, but with some many of citizens, many of whom believing in so many different things, it was hard for her to remain focused on one. Her servants beliefs were of no bother to her, thus she stayed silent, waiting for him to finish speaking.
“Ahhh...I see. I suppose, if anything, it’s nice to know that I was paired with someone who has an understanding of how this is suppose to work. “
His next question caught her off guard though. A wish? Come to think of it she had not really given that much thought. With everything that had happened, all of the information she’s been given, she had not really had time to think about much else. Folding her arms, she dipped her head down for a moment letting out a small hum as she thought.
“I’m...not entirely sure just yet. I haven’t really had the chance to think about anything specific but in the end, it will be something that will help my citizens. They make up who I am after all. Without them I would be nothing, so whatever my wish is it will be for them.”

She couldn’t help but marvel at how much detail went into making it seem no different than the one she had come from. Everything from the food, to the structures, and even the weather all held a sense of familiarity and brought her a small amount of comfort. Even as she walks home, she cannot help but smile as she gazes up at the night sky and sees the stars above her.
Though alone for a majority of her walk, it was not long until she stumbled upon another, standing in the middle of the path before her. Her steps stopped, taking in the person before, her trying to gauge if caution was necessary or not. Her servant had warned her to be mindful of those around them, but presently it did not appear as though she had anything to worry about.
Having sensed her presence, the nation soon found herself staring into the golden eyes of the one in front of her who had turned to face her now. Suddenly feeling flustered at having been caught staring, she quickly turned away, casting her gaze back at the sky above.
“Ah ha, you know it’s kind of funny when you think about how much effort went into making this place seem so realistic, don’t you think?”
A poor excuse for a conversation topic, but anything was better than the awkward tension that threatened to settle in.

“This is yours ain’t it?” A voice, gruff and unnerving, tried to catch her attention at the last minute. Qrow twirled the cube-like device lazily among his fingertips, taking a mild interest in it before turning his attention back to her.
“You left it on that table back there. Unless its someone else’s. It ain’t my intention to pry all too much.”
@fleurdepavot
While normally not one to loss focus that easily, as of lately she found that she was quite distracted. With everything that has happened, and all the new information that’s come her way, it was hard for her to keep her thoughts clear.
Having just finished her drink, she began walking away from her table, before being stopped by a voice calling her attention. Turning around, she noticed the cube in the hands of the other before seeing his face.
“Oh! Ja, it’s mine. I didn’t even realize I forgot it.”
Walking towards him. she quickly plucked the cube from his hand and placed it in her purse.
“Sorry, I’m usually more careful with things like that but you know, this whole things kind of got me all over the place. Thank you though!”
kotomineshirou:
Well. She was a pleasant enough sort, at the very least. He didn’t foresee having any problems getting along with her. She was obviously an inexperienced Master, though he was sure that most in this place were of equal stature. In fact, a veteran such as him was likely more of a valuable commodity than he gave it credit for. His Master’s name was….a touch odd, but then he couldn’t judge too greatly. This was the far-flung future after all, and even in the modern times he had known there were some…less than standard names in existence.
“My true name is not ‘Ruler’, no. But referring to me as such is good practice for when the War begins in earnest. Another Master or Servant learning my identity would give them a rather large advantage over us. That said…”
Drawing himself up to his full height, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes before allowing himself to change. This form was suited for acting as his usual self, but it would be best for his Master to see his true self before their battles began. The more surprised she was, the more likely she was to make mistakes. Light enveloped his form for a brief moment, and when he stepped forward, it was in his true Servant form.
“In the interests of transparency with you, Master Belgium. My true name is Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, and this is my true form as your Servant. The other guise is…well, for my protection as well as your own. The Grail will provide you with information of the particulars of my life, and abilities, but if you should have any questions I will be glad to answer them. In private, you may refer to me as you wish, be it Ruler, Amakusa, or even Shirou.”
She sat there quietly, listening to the words he spoke and processing them. What he said made sense, in an odd sort of way. While still unfamiliar with how this sort of thing actually worked, she understood the reasoning behind wanting to hid ones true identity. Names were a powerful thing and, if these servants were as grand as she suspected them to be, she could only imagine what sort of damage one could do if they learned the true name of the one they were fighting.
A brow was raised as she heard him trail off, curious to what he was about to do. Her answer came shortly when a bright light overtook him for a moment, only to disappear a reveal the other once again. His appearance now was not the one she had seen upon first entering the apartment, and all she could do was sit there and look. Admittedly, she did not quite know how to responded. She was never one to discredit the idea of magic, one of her other nation counterparts being very adamant about the idea of it’s existence, though this was the first time she had seen something like this in person. Though one part of her wanted to react with shock and surprise, the other, more rational part, told her that perhaps she should start expecting things like this to happen more often. If things like this were to be a regular occurrence, than there would be no point in getting worked up every time something happened.
Nodding her head slowly, she pushed back the initial shock she felt in favor for trying to focus on what he was saying now.
“Well, thank you for trusting me enough with your real name. I’ll be sure to use caution if I say it out loud, though I suppose it may just be best to stick to Ruler. You know, just to avoid any possible slip ups.”
“Based on what you’ve said though, you seem to know quite a bit about what’s going on. Have you...done something like this before?”
ay ay~ so i’ll be knocking out some starters for people over the course of the next few days, but i’m willing to take more though, so if you’d like a starter just like this post over here ! kay kay kisses~
kotomineshirou:
Another day, another War, and another Grail. If truth was to be told, he was almost tired of the whole thing.
This would mark the third time that he took up his blade in the pursuit of the Grail, and the second that he did so as a true Servant. After coming so close the last time, it was a touch bittersweet to find himself in this situation once again. Still…there was no point in dwelling on it. There were things to do, plans to begin, and introductions to make.
Though he knew that the room was to be shared between himself and his Master, he couldn’t help himself from adding something of his own…personal touch to the bland room as he waited for his Master’s arrival. A dash of crimson color here and there, a modest shrine in an out of the way corner (in case his Master didn’t share his faith), and several Japanese-style decorations adorning the walls. He’d left space, of course, for his Master to add their own touch if they so desired, and as he ruminated on the possibilities of who that Master might be, his answer came in the form of the sound of a key in a lock and a girl’s voice calling out with unsure anxiety. Turning his head over his shoulder, he flashed her a gentle smile before speaking.
“Ah, you must be my Master. Please, come in. This is your home as much as mine now, after all.”
He turned from his adjustments to face the young girl fully, reducing the distance between them to little more than an arm’s length. Bowing his head respectfully, a slight flourish of the arms accompanying it, he moved to meet her gaze with his own.
“I am Ruler, your Servant for this Holy Grail War. I’m sure you and I will get along splendidly, Master. Please, have a seat, relax. You must be tired and confused after everything you’ve learned today.”
If she was being perfectly honest she wasn’t quite sure what she expected of her servant. The one before here appeared to be not much older than she, at least appearance wise, and presently there was nothing particularly striking about the. At least, nothing that would give her the impression that he was to bring them to victory. Perhaps she should not be so quick to judge though, after all they just met.
Stepping into the apartment, she closed the door behind her before giving the other, who introduced themselves as Ruler, a small smile before listening to them speak.
“Ahhh...tired, ja. It’s been a rather hard day.”
Fingers were placed to her temple for a moment, a sudden wave of exhaustion finally hitting her. Stepping towards a near by chair, she took a seat, rubbing her eyes with the palms of her hands for a moment before looking back at her so-called servant.
“It’s lovely to make your acquaintance, Ruler. Is that your real name, or...? Actually, never mind. If you wish to be referred to as Ruler, than I shall call you that. I’m Bel—”
A pause. While normally finding no issue when introducing herself, she hesitates now, wondering for a moment if she can still call herself by her true name. If her world was truly gone, was she still her? Who would she be though if not Belgium? No one. She was no one else. End of the world or not she was still Belgium, and that would not be taken from her.
“I’m Belgium.” She finished sounding much more confident. “Or Bel...or Bella. Any of the three works for me.”
