Heading to towerofanimus, hopefully!

You're wondering why I am not arguing with you?

A tower is nothing compared to what I've been through. I think I can handle it. Plus, you're not exactly the nicest person to your muses when they complain, judging from afar and since you never listen, wasting my breath on it doesn't seem like the best idea. In honesty, you're almost like Reiroukan-san...

But I know you have plans for me. Horrible plans, in fact. Very well, even though I have much more important things to do, I'll play your game. You won't win.

You called?

[ Oh, she's amused alright. ]

Reiroukan-san.

... I see you're alive. [ She's not afraid of her anymore. Somewhat, at least. ]

Not for long if I get stuck in that rotten tower.

[ In a dismissive tone: ] I'm intimidating even to the force behind me. Surprised?

Not surprised one bit. So... You might be heading over there as well? [ Just what she needed; more trouble. ]

That's the plan the mun wants, but as if I'd allow it. Dying in that place can't be good for my image.

[ She gives a quiet scoff before continuing. ] Besides, she plans to bring in three characters and can only do two per app round. I have to wait my turn if I can't manage to talk her out of it.

People die when they are killed, it's something you can't really avoid.

Well, at least you'll have.... Some time before going there. My mun's pretty much 99% sure that I'll be sent to the tower.

[ Tch. ] Then what? I show up and end up becoming something foul and disgusting? Another one of those monsters for the people there to fear?

Besides, she was tricked. After that, she went to look it up and saw there was no limit to how many of us she could bring in.

[ was gonna say something about how people already feared Misaya, but she holds her tongue and tries to show some sympathy. ] There's got to be some way for you to be human again...

As I said, at least you get some time off. Unless you're sick of not doing anything.

No.

[DENIED]

As much as I miss you, and as much as my mun wants CR, you're not coming over.

[He really does want to welcome her over, but given the way that the Tower took you...]

I'm sorry Lancer, I couldn't really hear you over the howling laughter of my mun.

[ lancer pls ]

My mun won't change her mind, anyway. I.... I can handle it! I don't want to go, but I know I can handle it. [ Or at least, she's trying to tell herself that. ]

...Fine.

[Why did he need to like the stubborn ones?]

At least the blonde British bastard is already there.

[No, Lancer, you're thinking of the other blonde English Arthur.]

If you do come over, stay very close to him, or me if something happens to that guy.

[ Huh, no fighting back. Seems like Misaya has him whipped good. Or maybe he's realized you can't argue with muns, especially when it's not his own. ]

.... Saber's there? [ Correction: A Saber's there, not her own. ] I'll try and stay close, I promise. It's kind of hard to keep track of you sometimes, but I promise.

Yeah, they are.

[There is currently one Saber Alter, one England that looks a bit like Saber, and one Extra Saber coming in.]

Oh come on, I don't run off that much!

... But he's not there, is he?

Lancer, it's not with you running off. You just tend to get in a lot of trouble. [ in other words, your luck is shit. ] I'm worried about you, that's all., wondering what kind of trouble you've been getting tangled into.

There's two versions of Saber. At least, that I know of. One of them is a girl.

Don't worry, I've managed to be fine so far. Ran out of beer, but I've been pretty fine.

[If you didn't count the thing with Ruler, but that had been completely of his own making.]

... I see. But it's not him. [ Bitter now, looking away. ]

I'm kind of doubting that you've managed to stay out of trouble- [ Takes glasses off to clean them before putting them back on. ] -but I'll believe you. I'm just glad that I'll be out of this one's head.

He looks just like Saber and acts in the same stuffy way. His name is even Arthur. But...ah...from what my mun says, he doesn't remember you at all. Sorry.

[Then again, it would be hard to expect him to, given what the Grail did with its Servants.]

Yeah, it gets crowded in a headspace, doesn't it? Mun always seem to own more muses than they can play.

Saber isn't stuffy! Do not insult him! [ Angy face, then she calms down a bit, her expression changing to a more despairing look. ] Are you sure it's Saber? One hundred percent sure?

Hm? Yes, especially mine. She tends to pick up several characters and toss them away, or force them to do horrific things to amuse her. I haven't suffered much from her but... That'll change.

99% sure.

[He winces.]

Yeah, my mun just loves muse torture. And head-games.

[Take this conversation.]

You said you were completely sure. What's the 1%? Is it possible that it's not him? [ Her voice raises slightly. As much as she wants it to be Saber... She can't be so sure. ]

[ She sees the wince. Indeed, her mun is a force not to be messed with. ]

Seems like the trait is common in these muns. I can only fear what other muses she might take to the tower...

Well...you know how the Grail calls heroes up after they die, right? Well, given how the tower fucks stuff up, Saber could be from before he died, or from some other Grail War, either before he met you or after the Grail gave him a mindwipe.

Hey, no matter who she takes, she won't be neglecting you, right?

.... Right. I guess I'll see when I get there. [ She trusts Lancer, but she knows Saber like the back of her hand. ]

[ Just kind of scoffs a bit. ] I guess. She's taking a big interest in me and I don't see why. I'm- [ Average, boring, has a bad personality, etc. ] -just someone.

...Maybe because you're a good woman. Not on Misaya's level, but if she didn't snag me first, I'd seriously want you as a Master.

... D-Don't say things like that! It's really embarrassing! [ Blushing now; oops, slight tsun mode! ] And I don't think I could reach her level anyway...

Besides, Reiroukan-San is more... Intimidating than me. [ Intimidating, funny word to use. ] Wouldn't you want someone like that?

Oh come on, I've seen you in your own house. You could give her a run for her money when you get angry.

[He leans down and whispers in her ear.]

Plus, you blush more. I like that.

[ She staggers back because his breath tickled her ear a bit, and the feeling was weird. ]

G-Geeze! You're being really dumb now! [ bluuush ] I don't blush a lot, your eyes are playing tricks on you.

You're doing it right now

[His grin grows wider.]

Do you know why I like to see a girl blush? Because it's like flowers blooming on those cheeks.

[He leans close again.]

Flowers marking out the perfect spots for kisses.

I think you're crazy and--

[ Hold on. Processing... Processing...
Hey Lancer, remember that time Ayaka shot a bunch of feathers at you. Yeah? Let's recreate that scene! Though, she tries not to hurt him too much because she does care about him. ]

Lancer! This isn't the time for that! [ Now she's all red. ] I can hear my mun laughing...

[The blast of feathers catches him unawares, and he goes tumbling over backwards.]

Hey, that was a compliment!

Sorry...

[ Walls back and tries her best to pull him up. ]

You just... You got me nervous a-and I thought you were teasing me.

[He doesn't resist and just lets her pull him up.]

I was, but I only tease girls I like.

...And I only follow through with girls I really like.

... Lancer, this is really embarrassing.

[ Holds his hand for a quick minute before letting go, placing it back at her side. ]

And... What do you mean by "follow through"? [ More like, does she want to know? ]

Well, some girls, I just stick to the joking. Like if I say "I could kiss you", they know it's just a joke and I know it's just a joke. Not likely I'll actually kiss them.

[He leans over her again.]

And other girls...well, I'd still be teasing them. But when everything is done, I'm still kissing them. Especially when they have a very cute blush.

Now, little lady, tell me--which category do you think you fall under?

[ Winces slightly, because mun is shrieking right now. Damn Lancers. ]

Its really hard to tell with you, but you're probably leaning towards the second choice. But, I don't think Saber would appreciate you kissing me. [ Well, if he wasn't corrupted anyway. Her mood saddens slightly at the thought of Saber. ] I mean... If he was here...

Besides, there are much better girls to kiss. Ones that aren't like me. [ Insecurity issues again. ]

You ever heard of "don't ask, don't tell"? In my day, it was common courtesy to not ask what your significant other was doing behind your back. I'm sure Saber is gonna understand--as long as you love him the best. Or, hell, everything else can be physical, while Saber is the only one who gets anything emotional.

[His expression falls when he sees her crestfallen.]

Hey, don't worry. If you can come over, I'm sure he'll never be far behind. He's a pompous asshole, but hell if he wasn't a loyal pompous asshole.

[ She's silent as he speaks. It still doesn't feel right to her, even if Sabers not exactly himself. Of course she loves him best. She's just not used to guys being all over her like this. First Saber, then Archer and now Lancer. Woes of being an archetype to a harem man. ]

... It's not like Saber and I are dating anyway. [ Mainly because Mr. Goldielocks interrupted their moment and they never got a chance to actually get another one like that. She cringes slightly.

Wait, what did Lancer just say? ]

[ Is it "Insult Saber day" today? ]

[ COLD SHOULDER ]

Lancer, stop insulting him. He's not an asshole.

Edited 2012-10-08 18:24 (UTC)

[Lancer had never quite forgiven Saber for humiliating him during their first encounter. As a result, he found himself more or less disliking the prim and proper King of Knights.]

Is that an order?

It's a request.

I know you don't like him, but will you at least tone it down a bit? For me?

...Anything for a nice girl like you. So what do I call him if I can't call him an asshole?

... Um, just call him Saber I guess?

Sure. Saber then.

Can I insult him back if he ever insults me?

No one will be insulting anyone!

Don't worry. I'll trust you to keep us all in line, little lady.

[Looks like he'll just have to swallow his pride the next time he sees Saber.]

And I trust that you'll keep your word.

[ Small smile, just a small one though. ] Thank you, Lancer.

You know, if I could see that face on you all the time, I'd take whatever Saber throws at me.

[Yep, more teasing.]

Oh just drop it already!

Because dealing with tsunderes is suffering, especially when they know magic!
