Body Swap!

Characters: Lancer in Ruler/Jeanne D'Arc's body and you
Setting: Room 02-19
Format: Action, prose, and brackets--anything is fine
Summary: Lancer wakes up in a girl's body and decides to put it to good use.
Warnings: None, but sorry for post spam

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?]

[Saber, wearing the suit she had on from the Fourth War that had been in her trunk, glanced over at Ruler as she was greeted. Sighing, she gave the other woman a flat look.]

You cannot tell me that your ability to recognize me has been thwarted by a mere suit.

[Even if she looked damn good in the black suit and it made her look androgynous.]

H-huh?

[The woman must have been familiar with Ruler at some point.]

["She" gives a nervous chuckle.]

O-oh, of course not...

[Since Ruler was also a Servant, Lancer could still sense that the other woman (or was it a woman) was one of "her" kind. And the only Servant "she" had met who looked anything like that was...]

Saber. I just didn't know you had it in you to wear a suit.

[Lancer is now surveying her carefully. Her figure is a little boyish for Lancer's usual tastes, but she looks cute in an androgynous way.]

But for what it's worth, you look damn good!

[Saber raised an eyebrow at that exchange. Ruler had been much calmer and almost... saintly in her manner before. Now she was nervous.

Perhaps it was the suit.]


This is the attire I was accustomed to in the Forth War. Clothes are rather meaningless to us, Ruler. [She says that in a 'you should know that' tone.] Though this is quite comfortable.

Thank you for the compliment.

Hell yeah! I bet we'd look good even if we were both naked.

[Especially if they were both naked.]

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Her expression goes flat.]

That is an inconsequential matter. We are Servants; our physical form is unimportant.

That doesn't stop you from enjoying things like food, though.

[She leans closer to Saber.]

And I'm a little curious about the other pleasures of life...

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Food allows us to preserve prana. [Again, her flat expression is all that Ruler sees.] Did you not experience such things in life?

[personal profile] lance_of_orleans 2012-09-18 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
Doesn't matter, does it? Then's then, now's now. And right now, I'm thinking we should take some time out to bond.

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay... NOW Saber knows something is quite wrong with Ruler. Her former self would have just asked if the woman was okay, but this wasn't the shining King of Knights that was good and virtuous. No, if something was effecting Ruler, Saber was going to make sure she made Ruler understand that such weakness was not acceptable.

And if Ruler was being stupid, well, she'd learn that stupidity hurt. Saber just wanted to see how long this mind alteration was going to last and how far it made her sink.]


I am not sure exactly how you wish to 'bond', Ruler. I already agreed to be your ally in regards to the Administrators here but that still places us as enemies when it comes to the Grail.

'Bonding' would serve no purpose as it will not change that last fact.

[That wasn't a 'no', Saber...]

Oh? But the Grail hasn't shown up here yet.

[And for all Lancer cared, could never show up.]

Still, it wouldn't do to let our skills rust, right? So, as Ruler, I authorize you to spar with me, Saber.

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Saber scoffed.]

You hold no authority over me.

Alright, that's it, I'm disqualifying you from the Grail War even if you find a Master and kill every other Servant. No Grails for you.

[She means it in jest, of course.]

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Saber doesn't care that Ruler and anyone else is taller than her, she goes to grab Ruler by the throat and yank her down to her level.]

You will cease to treat me like a dog. I am not Lancer.

[personal profile] lance_of_orleans 2012-09-18 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, crap. She had gone a little too far with that one, hadn't she?]

Technically, Lancer isn't a dog either. He's a hound.

[She tries to pry Saber's hand off.]

And I'm no barring you for the Grail War for real. Just felt like joking around a bit.

[Her voice drops to a whisper.]

Know why?

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
A hound is a type of dog.

[But though Ruler cannot get her hand to budge, after a second, she lets go.]

Joking about such things is a quick way to an early death. I do not care what your reasoning was, but go ahead... humor me.

...You're cute when you're angry.

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
...

[Saber just... turns on her heel and starts walking away.]

[personal profile] lance_of_orleans 2012-09-18 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oy, Saber!

[Lancer picks up a nutrition bar and throws it at the other Servant as she walks away.]

Have it. It's on me.

[Consider it Lancer's way of apologizing for the teasing.]

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Saber shifts and the bar goes sailing over her shoulder. She then looks back.]

And why would I consume such paltry rations when I have a vassal that will cook exquisite meals for me? No thank you.
lance_of_orleans: actually made this--you can tell because it's shit (pic#4726308)

this would be so much easier if they were magical girls. Just saying

[personal profile] lance_of_orleans 2012-09-18 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[She pouts. Couldn't Saber just appreciate the sentiment?]

Really? I didn't know that. What's his name?

And Saber wasn't evil aligned.

[personal profile] scorchedchivalry 2012-09-18 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Her name is Kazumi.
lance_of_orleans: actually made this--you can tell because it's shit (pic#4726308)

what, does Lancer have to blow himself up too?

[personal profile] lance_of_orleans 2012-09-18 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? That's a pretty name. I wonder if she's cute...

Of course, she is. The young and innocent generally are.
lance_of_orleans: <user name=fateslaying> (pic#4726277)

there have better be no mermaids involved

[personal profile] lance_of_orleans 2012-09-18 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
[For a moment, her smile looks more genuinely happy than mischievous.]

Really then? You're a lucky girl.

[Saber had been nice enough to comfort Lancer during her moment of weakness, so now she really was happy for Saber.]
amant: ([ disbelief ] too good for this)

....lmao. Cafeteria.

[He was just passing by with a tray of food. In his own little world, really. Until he passed by the pervert wearing a Jeanne coat. Ha! Surely... Surely he misheard? It's still early noon.]

What was that, cherie?

[He turns to look and oh. WHAT IS THAT SEDUCTIVE SMILE DOING ON HIS SAINT? A DOLLA' DON'T MAKE FRANCE HOLLA']

Jeanne?!
