in the end it doesn't even matter!!
Characters: Saber and YOU!!!
Setting: Room 1-01, floor 22, and floor 15
Format: Starting with action, but I'll match what others reply with!
Summary: Clearly the tower doesn't have enough Sabers.
Warnings: Likely to have spoilers for Fate/Extra I guess?!
ROOM 1-01;
[It's one thing to wake up out of sleep paralysis. It's another to wake up in an unknown room. It was another just to even wake up given all that had happened, but all of those things were just minor details in Saber's mind as she stood up and looked around. More importantly, she looked at herself.
And what she was wearing.
Sorry roommates, if you were sleeping or just happened to be chilling in the room, there is now one ungodly and furious screech coming from the newest member of the room.]
FLOOR 22: ART GALLERY;
[Obviously the thing to do when you wake up somewhere weird is check the place out, right? Find out where she is, where she can go, if there's anything neat around here--all that stuff. In this case though, a certain newcomer seems a little too invested in investigating the tower...
Or in other words, Saber can be found critiquing the pieces in the art gallery i.e. yelling loudly about how much better she'd be able to do.]
To think this is what they call art in some worlds! Had I but a brush and a canvas, I would paint a masterpiece finer than anything this dreadful tower has ever seen. Umu, to not enlighten those here with what true beauty is would be the greatest tragedy.
FLOOR 15: WORKSHOP;
[And sadly enough, that's exactly what she does... After scouring the tower in search of material, Saber ends up in the workshop with a few different canvases in front of her. Curiously enough, the subject of the paintings seems to be the same person, albeit in different poses and unfinished states.]
What an unsightly state this is. To capture Praetor's beauty in paint is far more difficult than I had imagined. There are too many ideas, too much inspiration! If a picture is worth a thousand words, a thousand paintings would never be enough for her. [That's one way to worship the ground someone walks on... Regardless, she continues to speak aloud to herself while painting.] However, as difficult as this may be, a challenge shall only make it all the more rewarding. After all, I am the only one capable of completing such a challenge!

[yep she is digging the outfit
no subject
You like it...? [She looks down. She knew the costume was supposed to be a parody of some sort of ancient garb, but it's only really dawning on her now that this is a parody of something out of Saber's culture.] I didn't get to pick it, so you'll have to thank the administrators. I guess they thought it would be funny, to put me in something you might have worn.
no subject
Umu, of course! I'm rather disappointed now that I never thought to dress you myself. [Saber, Hakuno isn't a dress up doll for you to put in pretty clothes....] Oh, is that why everyone here is dressed so strangely? As loathe as I am to thank kidnappers for anything, I must admit that they picked excellent attire for you, Praetor!
My clothing, on the other hand... [she's going to scream in fury again at this rate]
no subject
It's not like we had any variety of clothing back in the Moon Cell, so you couldn't have done that anyway. [She... doesn't seem insulted that Saber might want to treat her like a pretty dress-up doll. G-Good sign...?] I'm glad you like it though. I guess it makes me feel a little better when you approve.
But yours? It's... [She was going to say "not that bad", but then it clicks. Good thing Hakuno isn't one to laugh at others' misfortune or else she'd be giggling right now.] Wow, that's... kind of insulting, isn't it?
[She doesn't necessarily... approve of what Saber did because of her feelings on Christianity... but the fact remains that this isn't really that funny to her Servant!]
no subject
And what a shame it was. To think, all the crafts I could have adorned you with, the clothes I could have dressed you in if only they were available... Umu, our lack of resources was truly a disappointment! [It's amazing how much she can talk, but I guess that's why Hakuno was more or less a silent protag I MEAN--] Of course I would approve. Your own natural beauty would have fit perfectly within my palace.
[Thank you for understanding, Praetor... See this is why she loves you!!] It is degrading! Humiliating! Worst of all, this drab garb is no better than a plain toga! How can I allow the world to see when dressed like this?!
no subject
But for now she'll just blush and try to squash down that growing embarrassment. Again, it's not weird that Saber's saying she'd like to play dress-up with her, it's just...] I don't think I could really compare with the appearances of people from back then. Even dressed up, I bet I would have looked pretty plain.
... And I would switch costumes with you if I could, if it makes you feel better at all. But we're kind of... stuck.
no subject
Nonsense! While your standard uniform during the war left you forgetful and simple, your beauty is one that shines without needing appearance as a venue; umu, it was a brilliance made with your own hands, and one that would far outshine anyone.
I've noticed. [POUT POUT POUT if only she could get into her regular clothes man, if only] How long must we be dressed to their whims like this?
no subject
She doesn't look too convinced by Saber's words. Normally it wouldn't take much for the woman to be able to do that! But on a topic like this... she just shakes her head.]
I don't know. The last time something weird happened, it lasted about a week. So... hopefully it will only last that long here too?
no subject
One day she'll convince you Hakuno, one day....! In some manner or another. (okok)]
An entire week in this dreadful garb. [SIGHING this is real torture man] Rather than a week spent preparing for a battle and facing foes to become stronger, I am now spending it wearing this. Umu, it's ridiculous!
no subject
Oh... there's no more battles here. I mean, there are still monsters to fight and I guess not everyone is that nice here, but... there's no Holy Grail. We don't have to kill people anymore.
[Her voice keeps it's normal tone, but at the same time, there's a very obvious hint of relief in it. After being forced to kill people over and over, they were finally able to break away...]
no subject
no subject
[Normally... she probably wouldn't be egging Saber on with this. She knows by now that a huge chunk of Saber's bragging is all hot air and she isn't as good as she claims to be. But... she wants to make Saber happy. As horrible as the tower is, they've escaped the horrors of the Moon Cell, and so they have to make the best of it.]
And we can find other things to occupy our time, probably. I'm not sure what, just yet, but the possibility is there...
no subject
[It's working so well it's kind of sad honestly... But while she was "alive" in the Moon Cell, there wasn't much opportunity to do things like this there, so it's pretty exciting honestly.]
Ah, Praetor, if there is a room with materials for painting, I insist you model for me so that I may paint a portrait of you.
no subject
[A-Ah, wait. That suggestion... she looks a bit suspicious at that.]
... Just what kind of modeling?
no subject
Modeling. [said very simply] Of course, it was rather commonplace for the subject to be in a state of undress for the painting.
[Also said very simply SABER AT LEAST PRETEND YOU SEE THE PROBLEM IN THIS...]
no subject
[She may be dim, but that's... really blunt. Blunt enough for Hakuno to catch it.]
I-Isn't that a little much...?
no subject
no subject
[... Not that Hakuno really thinks she's beautiful at all. At least, not compared to Saber or Rin...]
no subject
no subject
[SORRY SABER SHE JUST REALLY DOESN'T SEE HOW TAKING HER CLOTHES OFF IS A GOOD THING....]
no subject
no subject
I'm sure whatever you create will be just as good as if I were... er. Dressed differently. That's the sign of a good artist, isn't it? Being able to work with anything and still make it look even better than real life?
[STROKING SABER'S EGO IS NEVER A GOOD IDEA but she's gotta get her off this train of thought somehow....!]
no subject
no subject
Good. So tell me when you're ready to do this, okay? And even if you don't want to use me as a model... I'd like to watch, if that's alright with you.
