Mm? Did you finally find my voice beyond your headspace? I'm surprised.

[a bit of a pause from where Archer is sitting, there's a bit of a knowing yet teasing smirk on his face]

Really, I am. You went from another "ally of justice", the Grim Reaper, the King of Knights, and now here we are. What made you jump on this idea? [the reason he was smirking before? not so much 'what' made his Mundane so much as...well, 'who'; though before his mun can even respond he just nonchalantly shrugs]

It doesn't really matter, either way. If you go through with this, I'll just have to "roll with the punches", as they say. I have to admit, Mun. This is at least something different. Guess there's no time like the present. Get writing.

A bowman with an ever witty tongue, I see.

[namelesshero]

Only as sharp as it needs to be. [see how many damns he gives] You're not gonna cut it, are you?

[autocratic]

Only if it continues to flap unnecessarily to spout vague insults. An emperor can tolerate so much.

[ In other words, show some respect. And she's saying this just as casually as he is. ]

[namelesshero]

[raises his head to that]

I insulted you?

[autocratic]

[ Your very existence will insult mine. My precious Protag-chan--! ]

Hmph! A sharp tongue means one isn't afraid to lash out at any given moment. I have learned to be cautious around your ilk.

[ex_cashcow493]

Hoh? So your mun has decided that you ought to join the rest of us. Fetch a cute partner and have them do battle in your name, Archer. Do you not find it strange that such a fate is before you?

[namelesshero]

[don't mind him as he tries to assess the situation before him. the look of curiosity in those jaded eyes is brief at best, seeing as he could have sworn he was talking to someone earlier who looked...practically just like this girl. although this is definitely a more familiar face to the Servant if he can recall right... how long had it been since he faced that 'invisible' blade?]

Maybe a little. But, considering the path I walk anyway, I may as well have seen this...or anything else, coming.

[ex_cashcow493]

Yet, you choose to humor them all the same? [ Honestly, she expected Archer of all of the Servants to just do his own thing. Coming from UBW is suffering and full of despise of the knight in red. ] Have you decided which one suits you best?

[namelesshero]

Don't get me wrong, Saber. It's a pain no matter how you look at it. But comparing this to anything else I could be subjected to-- [in the land of RP no less] well, I see it as getting off lightly. [if Archer makes to the Pokemon world even, to his credit he'll likely work of his own accord...that is until his Master shows up. if they ever do]

Hm? Which one suits me best? [what did the Mun say again...?] I think it was Ditto.

[poltern]

Aah, but who would ever want such a boring Servant? [She's just teasing, Archer. Minori folds her arms behind her back and breaks out into a huge grin.]

Hi, Archer.

[namelesshero]

[and of course, your Servant offers a hint of a smile in kind. it's amazing how much she'd grown since the start of the Holy Grail War. ...hopeless as she may have been at times]

You. [simply put yet just as much of a tease in kind. the mysterious Master and the nameless Servant? ... worked pretty well for him]

Good morning, Master.

[poltern]

[It's startling how much the two of them have changed since the start of the conflict. Startling, but not entirely unpleasant. Because underneath his bitter exterior beats the heart of a hero.]

I don't choose boring Servants. I pick only the best. [She winks.] The very best of them all. Right?

[namelesshero]

[at the very least, as much of a hero as he could have been. how embarrassing it must have been to fall to someone with no name... they'd overcome quite an amount of obstacles. if anything, Archer was strong. but it was thanks to his Master that he was able to carry on with that strength of his. a truly solid bond]

The strongest. A Servant with no name and his lost Master... In the end, I probably couldn't have asked for anyone better.

[and as he thinks about his predicament and being drawn into reality and away from the Moon Cell...he thinks about how it would effect her as well. twisting the very concept of fate, she would have an existence beyond the boundaries of the Holy Grail War. the wonders of RP dimensions ignoring the laws of others]

[abeyance]

Ah, I feel sorry for that place already, having to deal with a servant like you. [ She's just teasing of course. ]

So, your mun plans on sending you there too?

[namelesshero]

They won't know what hit them.

With enough goading from a fellow Mun. It's a change of pace, and it'll be strange acting outside the SE.RA.PH. Becoming a "Pokemon Master" is a little more important than taking the Holy Grail, it seems. [one can tell that if he had to choose, he'd be fighting alongside his Master still and making sure she was safe. although...if they were both in the Pokemon world beyond the war... as he said? a change of pace]

And what is my Master up to?

[abeyance]

Well, at least your Mun isn't planning on sending you to a place were you get cat ears. [ And that's not even getting into the "ears represent viginity and fall off after having sex" part. ]

Nothing much honestly, my Mun been busy dating pigeons to do anything with me.

[namelesshero]

Cat ears? [weird as that is, it's probably a good idea she didn't mention the whole "ears fall off after virginity is taken" thing. he may have seen some strange stuff in his lifetime, but...] If that's the only thing that happens to you, it seems tame enough. [he just has to continue]

Dating pigeons?

[cyberghost]

I don't know about different. In a way it'd be like you're babysitting again. Just that it's with things that look like little cartoon mascots this time.

3 female protags already. dang Archer just keeps reeling them in LOL

[namelesshero]

So to make a short story even briefer, I have to start all over. Maybe I'll compare how fast they grow by comparison to you.

[was that a tease that the Pokemon might be easier? perhaps. abusive Servant is abusive out of bro love]

His tough love brings all the femprotags to the yard

[cyberghost]

[She expected that, so she smiles. Abusive teasing, it's the way to go. what has being your master done]

Maybe I should try joining too. See if I'll get another difficult helper.

And they're like, it's more gar than yours /shot

[namelesshero]

[and of course, he gives her a knowing smirk. said once before, but it could be said again. she's grown from when they both first started]

I suppose if you do make your way to the Pokemon World, I'll have to find you. Even if there's no war to be fought, you're still my Master.

Then again, I hear it's normal for trainers to travel together. [can he be Brock? ...only he doesn't creep on the ladies and get his ear pulled?]

[invalid_data]

I'm not sure who I should worry for more.

Your mun or that world.

[Protagonist C-c-combo Breaker]

... ^^^^^ his tough love brings all the protags to the yard

[namelesshero]

You'd paint me out to be chaotic good or chaotic neutral? I suppose you wouldn't be too far off.

I'd put my bets on the world I go to being in trouble over my mun. He's a troublesome one.

errybody loves them some snarky archer

[invalid_data]

I would say chaotic evil, if I didn't know you already. [his tone is a teasing one to match the smile on his face]

Oh? Better then the one I have, she's just lazy.

[namelesshero]

Hoh? Am I that terrifying of a Servant? I would need a terrible Master to reign me in if that were the case. [and of course he gives back as much as he takes. such is the way this grumpy old man is]

That, they can share. He's ambitious, but lazy after a long day of work. I'm surprised he's even doing this... He's stuck with a single muse for quite some time.
