Day 1 Prompts

Room 02-19




[Lancer wakes up feeling strange. Scratch that, just the fact he had woken up feeling like he had come out of a deep sleep was odd in and of itself. He had never needed much sleep, even as a living human. In the Tower, he had contended himself with only dozing off lightly.]

Ugh...

[Another point
of contention is the room. This is definitely not his room, as he can see from the way that the beds are furnished. And this is definitely not his bed given the distinct lack of beer cans around the foot of the bed.]

What the...

[As he shifts to get out of his bed, his body feels strange, as if its balance is not quite right. He looks down at his body, and barely holds himself back from squeaking.]


[Holy shit! A girl! He was a girl! Or, at least, he was according to those breasts he was not sporting.]

I'm...

[He hops out of bed. At this point, information begins to more or less funnel into his brain. Class: Ruler, Strength: B, Agility: A...One by one, her stats appear in his mind; no, it is more like he reflexively knows it. This is his body now.]


[Strength is less than what he's used to, but speed seemed to be the same. A big grin spreads on his face when he realizes he has much better luck than he was ever used to having. It only gets bigger when when he realizes she has an A+++ Noble Phantasm. Even if he didn't plan on using it, it sounded like a pretty sweet deal.]


[And come to think of it, Ruler was a girl, so she was rooming with other girls, right? At this point, Lancer's grin threatens to split his face in two. Oh yeah, he could definitely work with this.]

[He didn't plan on being in Ruler's body forever, but he could live with it for a while. In fact, he was gonna have some fun.]

Cafeteria



[The blonde girl in armor is giving a bright, and some would say seductive, smile to anyone who passes by her.]

Hello, who might you be?

[Men or women, it does not matter. This is Lancer's only chance to score as a girl...and "she" isn't gonna let it go to waste.]

Block 1 and Block 2



[Just because she has a new body doesn't mean Lancer is remaining still. She can be found doing several things in places throughout the tower.]

1. Relaxing in one of the safer floors. Who knew the Tower had such nice swimming pools, or such beautiful forests? She certainly feels better here than she has ever felt since her initial arrival.

2. Glaring at the art on Floor 22. God, whoever runs this place has no taste.

3. Cathedral. Lancer didn't want to come here, but it was like she had been compelled to by this body. She sighs and sits down in one of the pews. At least it wasn't creepy like Sancraid's church from back home. Now, if only she could get the memories of actually being Ruler out of her head.

4. Outside the morgue. Lancer growls in annoyance as she stares at the monster chasing her. Usually, she wouldn't even peeped in a nasty-smelling place like that and thus never attracted the thing's attention, but usually, she wouldn't be distracted by memories of being a peasant girl from France.

Day 2 Prompts

Infirmary



[Lancer is standing in the infirmary, looking awkward. She doesn't know how to proceed with this. As a Servant, she shouldn't even be capable of getting sick, but this cough refused to go away.]

Day 3 Prompts



[Lancer spends much of this day curled up in the Church, reciting the Lord's Prayer over and over again. Even though the words should be foreign to her, it is like she knows them by heart.]

[The memories she still retained from her old self told her that she had wronged Ruler. The new memories slowly invading her mind told her she had done worse: she had sinned. She had offended God. So here she was, confessing and begging for forgiveness. Not just from Ruler or the girl's friends, but from a higher power.]

[At first, she had tried to resist those urges. After all, she wasn't Ruler. Ruler was the Saint. Ruler prayed. Lancer was the guy who ran around every day causing a maximum amount of havoc. But this newest memory had broken her down.]

[Toward the end of her life, Ruler had been betrayed, imprisoned, and interrogated. She had held out, of course; she hadn't been a Hero for nothing. But it had mentally more or less violated her. And in the end, she had been tricked into a confession.]

[Yeah, he felt like shit now for messing around in her body.]

[He wanted to apologize to someone, anyone. Just apologize and apologize until he could be forgiven.]

[And who better to forgive you than God?]

I am Cain, yes. Asako has part of Abel's soul, but she's not all of Abel.

Right here? Right now? Before you switched, was it the same body that you used back when you first killed Abel?

No. But it's the same soul. I keep reincarnating with all of my memories.

...

[She sighs.]

Kid, I've never reincarnated before. Hell, my entire life was lived with the thought that I only had one life to live, so I might as well as spend time cramming everything I ever wanted to do into it. But if we're talking reincarnation...isn't it a chance to do everything you wanted to do but never could do in your past life? A chance to start over, fix your mistakes...be happy the way you couldn't in your old life. So just think of it as the old slate being wiped clean. You ain't Cain--you're Naoya. And Asako ain't Abel. She's Asako. You're still brother and sister, but you don't have to let your past lives tie you down. Just live like brother and sister the way you're supposed to be.

[He gives Naoya a little smile.]

Besides, she's not the only one who needs a hug from their sibling right now.

[She listens to this, grinning at first and then as he continues, the grin widens. She chuckles, shaking her head.]

If only that were the case. Unfortunately God seems to have it out for me. I can't forget. Naoya is just a name. Just another cover on who I am. While Asako isn't entirely Abel... I can't start over completely. I've tried. It just ends up in death, generally of everyone around me.

Fuck that. You know, you're not the only person who's ever killed their brother. You're not the only person who was ever cursed by a god. But you're one of the few people who does get second chances. So tell God "suck it" and do what you want. Death doesn't seem to be permanent here anyway.

As if I don't tell God to shove it as often as I can anyway.

[She sighs.]

I suppose I should go talk to her, at least.

[In Lancer's eyes, believing in the inevitability of the curse is, in and of itself, submitting to God. But he won't criticize Naoya too much. Not when he's finally made some progress.]

Yeah, you can do that. Come on.

[She starts walking to the exit.]

[She rolls her eyes, and follows after Lancer. Presumably she knows the way to where Asako is.]

[She leads Naoya until they approach the library.]

In there.
