Saber-Arturia Pendragon

For a few moments, Arturia was left in confusion as her Master approached her without responding to her greeting. It only became clear what she intended when Laetitia proceeded to lean down and plant a kiss upon the blonde knight's cheek. Almost immediately, the Saber-class Servant flushed, her mouth opening and closing several times as she attempted to process what had just happened, unable to resist when her arm was suddenly grasped by the taller girl and she was pulled away. Why... why had that just happened? Why had it occurred in public, where others could see? She couldn't help but notice some of the women who attended the club staring daggers at her as she half-stumbled behind her Master.

Arturia was so caught up in what had happened, cheeks still colored with embarrassment, that she had not fully processed what her Master was saying for several moments.

The mood shifted quickly when it did.

Lancelot.

Today she was going to meet Lancelot.

It was impossible not to remember what had occurred at the closing of the Fourth Holy Grail War. She could not help but blame herself for the miserable condition that one of her knights had been brought to, to be summoned as Berserker. And yet... she also could not help her desire to truly speak with him once more.

"... Yes, Master, I... I wish to speak with Sir Lancelot once more."

The short girl nodded, firmly.

Mihama Nanako

Making her own, much less expensive order after sitting down at the table, Nanako took a deep breath. Ah... trying to make friends with her Servant really hadn't gone well. And on top of that, everything had gotten so much more complicated so quickly... to think, all of this resulted from her skipping class today. But she didn't regret summoning Meltryllis, and she didn't have any intention of just giving up. She'd forge a good relationship with the small purple-haired girl, and she'd learn just what was going on! That was her path forward!

With her newfound determination, Nanako felt somewhat less distressed, when another girl approached the table. Immediately, she introduced herself as an alchemist from Atlas, which was a bit of a surprise. Nanako didn't know that much of the secretive organization, but she was aware they were providing assistance with the complex systems involved in Fusang's very nature. She simply never expected she'd meet any of their agents. However, it was what she said that was the most important.

It wasn't easy to guess that Meltryllis wasn't a normal Servant. Nothing about her corresponded to any legend that Nanako was aware of(and she'd done her research before summoning!) that meant that she was some sort of unknown factor. It was a lot of information to parse at once, and Nanako wasn't familiar with all of it, but she was at least aware of spiritons on some level. They were a sort of quantum particle with relation to Servants and their manifestation. They were also related to the substance of the soul. Her lessons in magecraft weren't entirely related to them, but it did at least feel like something important. They'd been mentioned in a lecture, once, as well.

"... I'm glad that Melt-san is willing to be analyzed, because... to be honest, I want to know more, too," Nanako said, finally, scratching the back of her head. She was sure it was strange for a Master not to have any awareness of the identity of their own Servant. Then again, this was a strange situation to start with. "So I'd like to know anything you can find out.

Spiritron hacking, however, was something she'd never heard of before.

"... Er, I can't do that, Melt-san," the brunette added, "I'm not even sure what spiritron hacking is... but I can at least cast some spells that might be able to give you a boost when you need it!"

"Oh, the parfait?"

To be honest, it was a little surprising that Meltryllis had gone for something sweet, a dessert, for her very first meal in this world. Then again, maybe it was precisely what she needed? It was difficult to make any sort of judgement like that, though, so Nanako simply accepted it. If it had even the slightest chance of getting her new Servant in a better mood, at least until they both tried to figure out just what was going on, then it seemed like it was a good idea.

"That should be fine, eh-heh," Nanako continued, with a bit of a nervous laugh. At this point she had spent more money then she'd expected for the whole week, let alone the day, but thus far it was worth it and ideally it would continue to be so. It was hard not to wonder about just what an Alter Ego was, just what the Moon Cell was, and who BB was... but that could wait until Meltryllis seemed to be in a better mood then she was at the moment.

For now, it was probably for the best just to focus on their food, rather than anything else.

Blades of Iron Roses: A fantasy Knight RP

There wasn't really any other choice, now. If the witch was planning on mounting another attack on the town, using her illusory doppelganger as a distraction, they simply had to return as quickly as possible. Of course, the town was now defended, but the sheer amount of power that the witch had displayed even through and illusion left Fanilly worried. What if the magic-user simply decided to bombard the town? Even if that would likely not destroy it, it could kill massive amounts of people... aaah, she should have... should have...

Fanilly wasn't sure what else she could have possibly done, but it felt as if there had to be some way she could have done better, rather than coming out here and letting the witch make her way towards the town.

"We must return to the town!" she declared, given no other option, as she began to return as swiftly as her legs could carry her.

She only paused for a moment when it became obvious that the drider was following them.

"..."

The drider had been a disciple of their enemy, but at the same time it was clear that her teacher's actions had almost immediately torn apart her entire world in an instant. That wasn't to say she should go unpunished, but what else was Fanilly supposed to do, now? Certainly her actions did not warrant any sort of execution... but she couldn't just be allowed to do as she pleased.

"... I... take it you'll follow us, then?" she asked.

All the drider did was nod, slowly. Given they were working on a short time frame, there was little else they could do.

"Sir Tiral," the blonde knight began, her attention shifting swiftly to her knights once more as she began to pick up the pace, "Can you pinpoint her exact location?!"

Mihama Nanako

For a moment, Nanako was worried she had upset Meltryllis. Her gaze suddenly seemed even colder then it already had been. But... maybe that was just because she'd reminded the Alter Ego about their time at the clinic. Indeed, given what the short purple-haired girl proceeded to say, Nanako reassured herself that it had to be the case. For the moment, she tried to focus on anything but the threat of blackmail, and instead look ahead. She had to try and learn more about Meltryllis. She had to try and figure out what was even going on. That's what was most important.

But first, they had to stop at a restaurant.

Eventually, the brunette had settled on a fairly nice family restaurant. It was a chain, one that had only recently opened a location on Fusang(she couldn't imagine how such a process must have gone), but it was one of the better chains and probably one of the more expensive places she could afford. Especially after everything with the prosthetic legs.

Rather then going in and sitting down, however(Nanako wasn't sure that was a very good idea given Meltryllis's very insistent manner of dress, after all), Nanako instead obtained one of their menus, trying to hold it so the Alter Ego could read as well.

Asking her about BB and all of that... it could wait.

"So, um... do you see anything that looks good?"

Saber-Arturia Pendragon

It had been a surreal experience. To begin with, Saber had been vaguely aware of the existence of the business known as a 'host club'. A location in which food an drink was combined with handsome men catering to and talking to women. From what she understood, this provided a sense of satisfaction and importance for the women in question. Or, perhaps, they just enjoyed getting to talk to handsome men for a while. She had never experienced it directly, nor had she intended to. That is why she had been totally unprepared for the experience of becoming employed at one.

But the surreal nature of the experience didn't stop there. It wasn't simply that her Master had insisted on her employment there. That was only the beginning. The fact that it was also... well...

The fact that a Knights of the Round Table-themed Host Club existed in Fusang only made it even more surreal. They had immediately hired her to play the role of King Arthur, because, quite simply, that is who she was.

By this point, the strangeness of the scenario had become somewhat more mundane. The entire nature of this summoning, however, was an unusual one. The mass amount of leylines allowing for the summoning of Servants... surely, there was more to it than that. There was no Holy Grail here, no corrupted cup. That had long since been destroyed, by her own hand. At one point, perhaps, she would have been angered by being summoned for something so trivial as simple desire.

But the time when she desired the Holy Grail had come and passed. If someone wished for her sword, truly desired her assistance, she would not reject them.

This was the mindset that Arturia Pendragon, the King of Knights, had taken to.

That being said, she hadn't imagined this would include working in a host club.

Nor had she expected she would be quite so popular.

"Good day, my sweet gentleladies. I hope to see you again, but alas, my time here is at its end for today."

As she departed the table, Arturia was certain she heard a delighted squeal among the farewells. She did not precisely understand why her actions caused such a thing, but at least the women who came to the host club always seemed to enjoy it.

And... well... the fact that it granted her funds for use in the city's most lauded food service establishments was hardly unwelcome.

To think... this was a city in which she could once again speak to her knights. Arturia wasn't certain, still, she had the right to. She still had her regrets even if she no longer wished to erase her role in history. But in spite of that...

In spite of everything...

The fact that she could truly speak to them once more brought a feeling of warmth to her heart that she could not deny.

"Ah, Master."

Arturia noted the approach of her Master rather quickly as she began her preparations to leave the club.

"Your timing is excellent, my shift is at its end."

Assassin

Ah...? Was that the kind of impression she had given!? Assassin hadn't ever intended to make it seem like that! Certainly, training in the way of the sword could be harsh out of necessity, but doing anything so excessive wasn't in her teaching repertoire at all! Waving her hand and giving a somewhat awkward smile, the girl samurai decided to quickly address her Master's concerns.

"No! Nothing like that," she said, quickly, "That kind of thing wouldn't let you learn how to use a sword at all! No, we'll start with the basics and work our way up."

She nodded firmly to herself. Assassin knew that it was simply logical, the best way to set up a student for success was simply to introduce them to the basics of swordplay and then pushing forward. To be both harsh and fair, to ensure that they would understand exactly how to expand their skills. To be honest, she was actually quite excited. It had been a long time since she taught any students, after all, and she had always enjoyed doing so.

Saber-Benienma

The sudden appearance of a kindly old man offering his assistance filled the diminutive redhead with warm memories. Even without considering her memories, however, his offer of assistance was a welcome one. While he may not have been able to offer too much, another set of eyes was not at all lacking in use, and the act of looking for this little girl's Master was hardly a dangerous one. Indeed, he could freely offer whatever assistance he was able, and Benienma would happily accept it.

The bird on her hat tilted its head slightly and leaned forward, peering at the other little girl, as the Saber-class contemplated the scenario. If they had been together at the local Third District Park, then that meant that there hadn't been much time for Dorothy to get more lost. Additionally, if they saw a puppy in the park rather then simply wandering the streets, it likely belonged to someone. Servant or human, it didn't matter, the owner was likely in the park as well. Considering these likely facts, there was a simple conclusion that Benienma could make.

"If you were both playing with a puppy in the park," she began, "That means Dorothy-san is probably still in the park, possibly with the puppy's owner dechi. So, we'll start there dechi!"

With a smile towards the fluffy girl, Benienma nodded, before glancing up to her Master to be certain that the brunette felt this was a good course of action as well.

Mihama Nanako

As the conversation concluded, Nanako's shoulders sagged. BB's line of logic made sense. Cruel, purely logical sense, but sense none the less. She still didn't like it. If it was important, she would have tried to help regardless! But now the possibility of being blackmailed with... very private material was terrifying. What would her friends think of her? And besides... it was all so confusing. And the way that BB's eyes had turned red like that, what was that all about? It was kind of scary, in a different way then the blackmail threat. For all BB seemed to be cheerful and cutesy, she was also very threatening in a way. Just where was she, anyway? How had she been able to hack into her phone?

Meltryllis's voice managed to bring her out of her worried thoughts.

"... I'm... I'm not about to let that get me down," responded Nanako, with a weak, nervous laugh, "At least not right now. You needed someone to show you around the city, after all, and after I made you go through all that at the clinic..."

The brunette girl hesitated. She was trying not to show pity in her eyes. But Meltryllis was so small, without the use of her hands, without legs beneath her knee... She didn't want to upset her Servant, but she couldn't help but show that briefest moment of pity...

"... I don't want to go back on our agreement."

Nanako took a deep breath. Maybe she could find somewhere that Meltryllis would like... she needed that after an experience like that, right?

"Er... there's a lot of restaurants in the neighboring district, let's go there."
