The Tale of Sir Lancelot - part 1. Dolorous Guard
Characters: Sir Lancelot, aka the Servant Berserker, and All & Sundry
Setting: All Around the Tower
Format: Prose and Action are Both Welcome
Summary: Having just lately arrived, Sir Lancelot is in search of his Master
Warnings: No Warnings at Present. Unless you are a Monster, then look out.
Your world has been destroyed...
Lancelot, for he knows himself at the moment, is largely unmoved by the strange letters. He destroyed his own world long ago.
At the moment he is more concerned with his immediate surroundings, the mysterious clothing (and the collar) on his body, and the absence of his Master. His last memories before waking are of fire, of wind, and of thwarted rage. But he feels nothing now save a grim wariness. If this is indeed a Reality Marble, it is a mysterious one, and might contain anything. If an event caused by the Grail itself, then he can only meet what will come. If a device of his Master's-- Lancelot finds himself less than pleased with the idea.
Alone in the room where he has woken, he wastes no time in materializing his armor, and, as the situation seems an unusually urgent one, his sword. Both are as black as ever. His helm he leaves, as in carrying his blade he will be known regardless. He does not open the chest.
Reaching out to his Master, Lancelot is gratified to detect a faint pull. He will follow it, wherever it leads.
The Dormitory Hallways
Lancelot makes his way along the hallways nearby, but not limited to, 3-02. Any monsters he encounters, he will fight and slay. Any people he encounters, he will speak with.
The Cafeteria
Unable to pinpoint his Master's location, Lancelot proceeds to the bottom of the Tower. He is intrigued by the Cafeteria, and also by the idea of eating, which he has not done since he was living. He finds the idea of eating food in this place to be problematic, as he wonders if it might not be cursed or enchanted in some way. Being reared by Faeries will leave one with such ideas. Still, he's aware how important it can be to abide by the rules of magic in a possibly magical place. You'll find him stirring his oatmeal contemplatively.
Floor 10: The Aquarium
In the midst of continuing his search, Lancelot is distracted in the Aquarium. Water draws him like nothing else. He finds it calming, even now, in spite of his agitation at following his Master's poor prana signature. This water, obviously enchanted as it is not contained, is full of life. He shouldn't dally long here, but the sight is lovely, and it's difficult to resist stopping a moment.
Floor 25: The Meadow
This would indeed be an odd place for Lancelot to find his Master. Usually, the magus huddles unseen in dark corners, sewers, alleyways, and the like. He's searched in such places, and slain some few Monsters in the process, but has yet to find his Master. Still, there is a refreshing breeze here, and no obvious threat.

Re: Floor 25: The Meadow
As for my Master, I'm sure you have done only your best him in my absence, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, and so I thank you.
[In fact, he's sure the man did so with a better will towards Kariya than he himself feels.]
I should seek him elsewhere, as I have not found him here-- I could remain, but to wait here in this meadow feels too tempting a prospect.
I will say in parting that I regret having caused you distress by my appearance. your speech was noble, and I understand your alarm. [Lancelot gives a brief bow of his head, and a very, very slight smile.]
Should you ever wish to spar, however, I would gladly meet you on a field of your choosing.
Re: Floor 25: The Meadow
"I have tried and will continue to do so as long as he wishes my assistance. I am sorry for reacting how I did. With everything going on...," he pauses and the waves a hand dismissively. "No matter. You have forgiven me it, so I will waste no more words on it. When I see Kariya next, I will let him know you are here so that if you have not already found him, he will know to look for you and that you mean him no harm."
A gentle, grateful look crosses Diarmuid's face at Lancelot's last words, "I am honored. I would very much like that sometime when things have settled and my mind is more at ease. It wouldn't do for me to face you at anything other than my best."
Re: Floor 25: The Meadow
[Ah, a spar. A real, actual spar. It's been so long. If one didn't know better, one might think Lancelot nearly looks pleased.]
I would expect nothing less than his best from the First Knight of the Fianna. I will await your pleasure in this with much anticipation.
Re: Floor 25: The Meadow
And I will expect no less than that from a knight such as you, Sir Lancelot. Good luck in finding your master.
[He bows again to Lancelot, and then turns and leaves the meadow. Diarmuid had come to the meadow in hopes of spending a little time with Kariya to bring some ease to his heart and mind. He might not have found Kariya, but strangely enough, his heart and mind do seem a little more at ease now.]
